Speaker 1: Live for. This is the Mabrecks of Paul Murray pub Test.
Speaker 1: Can I from tweetheads just now work can be any
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things that haven't speaking everything a littly?
Speaker 1: It is called the Mavericks pub test?
Speaker 2: Can I everyone?
Speaker 3: How are we tie up?
Speaker 1: Tie up? We're to see everyone? Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for being here now tonight. I love this night every
Speaker 1: single election because you are the bumper bowling thing is
Speaker 1: down all right, like this is about real answers to
Speaker 1: real questions that people genuinely care about in suburban and
Speaker 1: regional Australia and with us tonight. Of course Bob Catter,
Speaker 1: the leader of Cutterer of Australia Party and the Member
Speaker 1: for Kennedy, Pauline Hanson from Pauline Hansen's One Nation will
Speaker 1: be here. And the wonderful Matt Canavan, who has always
Speaker 1: with us on a Monday night from the l NP
Speaker 1: Proud of the end bit in the LNP as always
Speaker 1: all right now, before I get to all of them,
Speaker 1: as you know, I like to start the show. We
Speaker 1: just you know, I read a few psalms from the
Speaker 1: whole book of albo Ah I just double check. I
Speaker 1: welcome everyone, individually to country just in case, make sure
Speaker 1: you're all as comfortable as possible. But rather than the
Speaker 1: big long carry on, I'll do the data dumps and
Speaker 1: the rest of it. Let's just have a quick look
Speaker 1: at some of the stuff that's around today before we
Speaker 1: get to the real reason that we're all here today.
Speaker 1: Nineteen days until the federal election. We're excited about the election. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought so. I thought so. Someone's been reading the polls.
Speaker 1: Eight days until early voting starts. It is meant to
Speaker 1: be on a Monday, but it will be Tuesday because
Speaker 1: of the holiday. It's almost like they planned for the
Speaker 1: election campaign to be in the middle of it. So
Speaker 1: what did they do today? Well, Anthony Abernezi lots of
Speaker 1: different places, but he was handing out the cash unsurprisingly,
Speaker 1: your money borrowed money and doing so in Tasmania today,
Speaker 1: Prime Minister, what money did you spend of the Chinese today? Sorry,
Speaker 1: the debt today?
Speaker 4: My government today is announcing up to twenty four million
Speaker 4: dollars to help buyer prepare for a lower missions future
Speaker 4: and to secure the future of the mill. Nine million
Speaker 4: dollars of that over the next two years will be
Speaker 4: to ensure its financial viability as this transition occurs. Will
Speaker 4: also provide up to fifteen million dollars to match the
Speaker 4: company's own investments in electrification that are occurring.
Speaker 1: How is he winning? But okay, remember we're bringing back
Speaker 1: a paper mill one shut down while he's the prime
Speaker 1: in the start, which means we don't actually make a
Speaker 1: full paper anymore in Australia. Were important, but that's all right,
Speaker 1: don't be distracted. And as you know, the rest of
Speaker 1: the media they only started to count the spending from
Speaker 1: the start of the campaign week outed it from the
Speaker 1: start of the year.
Speaker 4: A seven point two billion dollar announcement today five million
Speaker 4: dollars ten million dollars, two hundred million dollars, three billion dollars,
Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty million dollars, two billion dollars, thirty
Speaker 4: seven million dollars, eight hundred and forty two million dollar,
Speaker 4: two point four billion dollars, eight point five billion dollar,
Speaker 4: four point eight billion dollar, one billion dollars, three point
Speaker 4: four billion dollars, two point eight billion dollars, two hundred
Speaker 4: million dollars, one hundred and fifty million dollars, one billion dollars,
Speaker 4: two hundred and forty five million dollars, six million dollars,
Speaker 4: three million dollars, ten billion dollars, twenty four million dollars,
Speaker 4: nine million dollars, fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 1: And that's our show for tonight. Thanks very much for
Speaker 1: waking the late debate is up in a moment or
Speaker 1: two times seen inc Now, I don't know how many
Speaker 1: of you you know, things weren't all that you planned,
Speaker 1: and there was a little divorce, a little breakup, but
Speaker 1: your kids keep forcing you to have to see the
Speaker 1: person you don't really like anymore, to keep the piece
Speaker 1: when it comes to Christmas or Easter or birthdays or
Speaker 1: things like that. Well, perfect example of that would be
Speaker 1: the kiss non kiss between Albanezi and Plivsick.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're both from your South Wales and we're both
Speaker 1: so close and we're both don't touch me, don't touch me. Well,
Speaker 1: you'll be pleased to know that today when mommy and
Speaker 1: daddy were asked by the kids, everything's okay, can you?
Speaker 4: Plivsik has been a friend of mine for a long
Speaker 4: period of time. We live in neighboring seats. Were good mate,
Speaker 4: since she's doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 6: Do you know what I reckon we should still all
Speaker 6: be elbow bumping, because during an election campaign, the last
Speaker 6: thing you want is to catch.
Speaker 2: A cold from someone.
Speaker 1: So that's on me. I should have done the elbow bump,
Speaker 1: I reckon.
Speaker 7: He's still getting along.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I hadn't heard that. I hadn't heard
Speaker 1: that until this. Then, see, Boss, I didn't say it.
Speaker 1: I just mouthed the swearing. Seriously, I don't want to
Speaker 1: catch a cold. These people, they take the proverbial, don't they.
Speaker 1: As for our Peter Dunton, what he was doing today,
Speaker 1: well was actually at a work site, one that his
Speaker 1: son had been working on at some period of time,
Speaker 1: and there was an opportunity in a moment for his
Speaker 1: son to have something to say about trying to follow
Speaker 1: in his dad's footsteps, his mum's footsteps, which is save
Speaker 1: up to buy a property. You know, God forbid that idea.
Speaker 8: I am saving up for a house, and so is
Speaker 8: my sister back and a lot of my mates. But
Speaker 8: as you've heard, it's almost impossible to get in in
Speaker 8: the current states. So I mean, we're saving luck, Mard,
Speaker 8: but it doesn't look like we'll get there in the
Speaker 8: near future. But we'd love that to change.
Speaker 1: But it won't surprise you. This was a controversial thing
Speaker 1: for a young man to say because the media, who
Speaker 1: of course in the past has already turned around and
Speaker 1: tried to blame Peter Dutton for his father's heart attack.
Speaker 1: We're now trying to say that he was heartless because
Speaker 1: he was forcing his kid to save up for the
Speaker 1: deposit for the house. And the questions came today from
Speaker 1: the media. This was some of the tough ones that
Speaker 1: came the alternative Prime Minister's way today.
Speaker 6: Do you foresee being in Wyala before voters head to
Speaker 6: the pulse?
Speaker 9: And given that this site produces around about eighty thousand
Speaker 9: tons of emissions a year, how confident are you that
Speaker 9: the investment that you.
Speaker 1: Put forward will start to make a difference in shipping
Speaker 1: away at that bring you that will make a difference. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, such questions asked of the alternative Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: How soft you reckon the media was today? Do you
Speaker 1: think there was any follow up on his version of
Speaker 1: housing policies? Well, as you just saw, no didn't take place.
Speaker 1: Why because we all know what they're trying to do
Speaker 1: Now latest opinion poles have come out from Resolve. They
Speaker 1: are worse for the Liberal Party. They also suggest that
Speaker 1: the Donald Trump of it all is switching voters back
Speaker 1: towards Albanezi. So, as I've said for the past two
Speaker 1: and a bit years, don't come and complain to me
Speaker 1: when it's three years of more of the same. All right.
Speaker 1: If you think the Orange man is bad, well what
Speaker 1: about the bloke who's got the top mansion in the
Speaker 1: next little while. All right, last one I want to
Speaker 1: show you before I introduce Bob Caada, Matt Canavan and
Speaker 1: Pauline Hanson, is I want to pick up on something
Speaker 1: one of my colleagues and friends, Andrew Bolt did on
Speaker 1: his show tonight, and it will be the first question
Speaker 1: to all of you this evening, which is did you
Speaker 1: know that people who are not Australian citizens can vote
Speaker 1: in Australian elections? Believe it or not, that is the
Speaker 1: case at state and local government level, depending on where
Speaker 1: you are, someone who is not a citizen in Australia
Speaker 1: can vote in an election. He's Andrew explaining it, and
Speaker 1: then I'll ask our mavericks tonight what they think of it.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you something amazing. We actually let non citizens
Speaker 5: vote in elections here to choose who runs out some
Speaker 5: of our capital cities at Melbourne and Hobart and Adelaide,
Speaker 5: even students from communist China can come and vote in
Speaker 5: those elections and in some other council elections. Even more
Speaker 5: extraordinary is the now I said it was more likely
Speaker 5: than not the Chinese students had actually managed to elect
Speaker 5: another former Chinese student to the Adelaide Council, this guy
Speaker 5: Ling Gi. Can you imagine China ever letting an Australian
Speaker 5: stand in an election for one of its cities and
Speaker 5: for other Australians to vote them in? Have we left
Speaker 5: ourselves wide open to interference foreign interferes?
Speaker 1: Amazing reporting from Andrew bolt tonight, and to answer that
Speaker 1: in a whole bunch more questions. I love them. They're mavericks,
Speaker 1: they're free thinkers, and they don't give U stuff what
Speaker 1: anyone else thinks, which is why we love them. Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Matt Canavan from the lymp the One and
Speaker 1: Only Pauline Hanson, Bob Tatter from Tatter's ASTRADI your party,
Speaker 1: all right, Well we'll just go from left to right,
Speaker 1: right to left, depending on which way it is on
Speaker 1: the screen or how you feel about the world. Matt,
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. How the hell is a person
Speaker 1: who is not a citizen of our country allowed to
Speaker 1: vote in any election in our country?
Speaker 3: Look, I don't know.
Speaker 9: It seems like news to me obviously, though we did
Speaker 9: have a parliament a few years ago when a few
Speaker 9: people didn't realize there were citizens of another country, including myself,
Speaker 9: was at risk there for a while, so I have
Speaker 9: to play guilty of that.
Speaker 3: But look, I don't think that's something it should happen.
Speaker 9: I mean, it sounds like there's only a few people
Speaker 9: those so it's probably not material.
Speaker 3: But yeah, why do we have that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Paullen, why do we have it? And
Speaker 1: is it a surprise to you?
Speaker 7: It's people who.
Speaker 10: Came in in the country, basically from Britain that came
Speaker 10: out to Australia and they're regarded as citizens who can vote.
Speaker 10: So it's up to about I think nineteen eighty four
Speaker 10: that if you actually write before then you can actually
Speaker 10: vote in Australia after that period of time, if you're
Speaker 10: permanent resident now know you can't. What I do know
Speaker 10: is that in South Australia, the council there that you
Speaker 10: don't have to be a resident of Australia. Foreign students
Speaker 10: can actually vote if you've got a visa into the country.
Speaker 7: For about three.
Speaker 10: Months you were entireed to vote in the council elections
Speaker 10: in South Australia.
Speaker 7: So what is happening. A scam is going on.
Speaker 10: A lot of these students are being scammed for the
Speaker 10: vote and it's been rooted. So I brought it to
Speaker 10: the tension of my member of parliament there to actually
Speaker 10: do something about it. I've spoken about it on the
Speaker 10: Florida Parliament that nothing's happened.
Speaker 7: Yet we're going to force the issue. Paul, it's not right.
Speaker 1: How did we get you.
Speaker 6: We've a legislation that if you want to be a
Speaker 6: public servant in Australia working for Australians, then you will
Speaker 6: take an oath of allegiance to Australia. The Foreign Affairs
Speaker 6: Department issued instructions that there would be no Australian flags
Speaker 6: anywhere in their offices. Now, when I rang her up,
Speaker 6: she said, oh no, we didn't say that.
Speaker 2: Would you like me to read out what you actually
Speaker 2: sent out to everybody?
Speaker 6: As far as I'm concerned, if you want a job
Speaker 6: working for Australian people, and you'll take an oath of
Speaker 6: allegiance to this country. And if you're not prepared to
Speaker 6: become an Australian as soon as you get here and
Speaker 6: you don't vote, good stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, So thank you guys. Appreciated not without Notif
Speaker 1: I appreciate it here, then none of the questions. Also,
Speaker 1: I noticed that if we've got Cheryl here, Cheryl, come
Speaker 1: on down, my friend, you get a chance to ask
Speaker 1: our Mavericks. Of course very mainstream to us, but you
Speaker 1: know to left he's there, just frightened of such common sense.
Speaker 1: What's your question, my friend? And thanks for coming on tonight.
Speaker 7: Thank you. I just like to ask, how do you
Speaker 7: think the cost of living needs to be dealt with? Pauline?
Speaker 1: Okay, paul All of you will get a chance to
Speaker 1: answer as well, but we'll start with Pauling. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 10: Deal with the climate change BS that's been foisted on
Speaker 10: to the Australian people. It's the coast of living has
Speaker 10: been driven by the high cost of electricity, so it
Speaker 10: affects the farming sector, the industry is manufacturing, and the
Speaker 10: normal household.
Speaker 7: We have driven up the cost of electricity That's why insflation.
Speaker 10: Also, the fact is there's the government cannot control their
Speaker 10: Their spending has driven up from six hundred billion dollars
Speaker 10: when it took over from the coalis And government up
Speaker 10: to a trillion dollars now and over the next year
Speaker 10: and a half it will be driven up to one
Speaker 10: point two trillion dollars in debt that we have. It's overspending.
Speaker 10: They can't manage the country. They're absolutely bloody hopeless. As
Speaker 10: far as I'm concerned, this government needs to go.
Speaker 1: All right, bab cost a living catter Australia Party, how
Speaker 1: do you deal with it?
Speaker 6: The markup on food from a basket dividers we took
Speaker 6: is two hundred percent.
Speaker 2: It was one hundred percent when.
Speaker 6: Wolworths and Coals had sixty eight and seventy two percent.
Speaker 6: No country in the world has the concentration of market
Speaker 6: power that Wilworsts and Coals have in Australia.
Speaker 2: Whilst you got.
Speaker 6: Two people to sell food to two people to buy
Speaker 6: it off, you're going to get screwed, and you're getting
Speaker 6: screwed on a grand scale.
Speaker 2: My potato farmers.
Speaker 6: Get paid ninety cents, You pay three dollars ninety five.
Speaker 2: I mean for the humble potato fuel.
Speaker 6: Brazil one of the most advanced industrial companies in the
Speaker 6: countries in the world. Now Brazil is filling up their
Speaker 6: petrol tanks for a dollar nine cents. You're filling up
Speaker 6: for a dollar ninety one because they get ethanol and
Speaker 6: you haven't. And also you buy all your fuel from overseas.
Speaker 6: Every leader of fuel comes from overseas. In ninety ninety two,
Speaker 6: with self fission fuel and finally electricity, I was the
Speaker 6: energy minister. There is no justification for one thousand dollars
Speaker 6: a year and three thousand, three hundred dollars a year.
Speaker 2: What did they do?
Speaker 6: They gave themselves twelve hundred dollars a year. The government
Speaker 6: taxes your electricity for twelve hundred dollars and then to
Speaker 6: save the planet they charge you another.
Speaker 2: Thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 6: So there you go, one fuel, food and electricity.
Speaker 2: There's massive savings for a government that's a.
Speaker 6: The right thing by their people, and that is not
Speaker 6: happening now.
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Matt Trent to see if a lot of teaqub.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 9: Cheryl's the most important issue for any Australian and something
Speaker 9: has broken in the last few years. I mean, I
Speaker 9: agree with Bob about the role of Colson Wilwors. That's
Speaker 9: why we've said we will impose or change our competition
Speaker 9: laws to have our vesti laws for the first time.
Speaker 9: But Coles and Woolworths didn't start just price gouging the
Speaker 9: last few years, right, That's not what's changed. Something really
Speaker 9: has changed in the last few years where now you
Speaker 9: can't get a cheeseburger McDonald's less than five dollars. I mean,
Speaker 9: what has happened to this country? Why how price is
Speaker 9: so high just in the last few years. Has two
Speaker 9: main factors. Pauline's touched on them, But I just want
Speaker 9: to build down on the spending or on the government
Speaker 9: spending Cheryl. Since COVID, we've gone from spending about four
Speaker 9: hundred and seventy seven billion dollars a year of your
Speaker 9: money in Canberra. Now after COVID, we're up to seven
Speaker 9: hundred and seventy eight billion dollars a year in Camera.
Speaker 9: Three hundred billion dollars a year extra every year is
Speaker 9: being spent in Camera now on a household basis, that's
Speaker 9: thirty thousand dollars a year extra being spent for all
Speaker 9: of you.
Speaker 3: That's the kind of debt.
Speaker 9: So trillion dollars sounds like a big figure, but it's
Speaker 9: thirty thousand dollars every household extra being spent. This is
Speaker 9: not sustainable. We have to have to scale that back.
Speaker 9: And then the other thing is the energy. We just
Speaker 9: lost control of this. We've walked away from cheap coal
Speaker 9: fired power, that's our cheap energy source. We've shut those
Speaker 9: cold fire powerstations down. Price has gone up, you know,
Speaker 9: over this campaign it's a five week campaign, right, China's
Speaker 9: building two cold fire powerstations a week, so they're going
Speaker 9: to open ten coal fire powerstations while we're all debating
Speaker 9: about doing more batteries, wind and solar.
Speaker 3: It is a joke and it needs to change.
Speaker 1: Lady yet, all right, Loving three, your mate, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for watching your questions for the team. Let's
Speaker 1: start with Matt and will work our way down.
Speaker 11: Matte, what's what do you think is the best way
Speaker 11: to reduce the budget deficit given that we're just not
Speaker 11: living within our moons.
Speaker 9: Look, if you look at what's growing over these past
Speaker 9: few years, as I just mentioned the figures, the big
Speaker 9: growth has been in social security and in way for it,
Speaker 9: green energy schemes, so on the ladder. One's easy, right,
Speaker 9: latter of one they just need to go. And it's
Speaker 9: probably how it hasn't got the attention that deserves in
Speaker 9: this election. But we have committed to ending the ridiculous
Speaker 9: fourteen billion dollars we're spending on hydrogen projects.
Speaker 3: They've all failed, they've all failed, eight.
Speaker 9: Of them have fallen over in the last year, and
Speaker 9: yet we're wasting your money on this pipe dream that labor.
Speaker 9: Still they won't mention it much anymore because it's an
Speaker 9: absolute failure. End that we've committed to doing that, So
Speaker 9: we will reduce the.
Speaker 3: Budget deficit in that way.
Speaker 9: And the other one, of course, has to be a
Speaker 9: proper look at the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Speaker 3: It is a worthwhile scheme.
Speaker 9: I fully support helping those people who are disabled, but
Speaker 9: I refuse to believe that one in ten young boys
Speaker 9: in this country need government assistance. It's not rightly set
Speaker 9: up right now, and that's another big growth item that
Speaker 9: needs to be looked at.
Speaker 1: Halleen Paulleen about that specifically, that budget deficit. We know
Speaker 1: that structurally it's there for the next not ten but
Speaker 1: forty years.
Speaker 10: It is under the One Nation policy which we released
Speaker 10: in February is to reduce the budget by ninety billion
Speaker 10: a year and it is to get rid of the
Speaker 10: Climate Change Department and that will save thirty billion a year.
Speaker 10: This is all being cost Paul, where the only political
Speaker 10: party wants to get out of the Paris Agreement and
Speaker 10: then common sense to run our own country and not
Speaker 10: letting foreign investors or the other people making profits out
Speaker 10: of us. That the demise of many Australians and rising
Speaker 10: cost of electricity. Also, it can be tackled with the
Speaker 10: Educational Apartment duplication in the States. Those states should be
Speaker 10: handling education ndis. Yes, we are targeting that six hundred
Speaker 10: and sixty thousand people on NDS at the moment forty
Speaker 10: five billion dollars expected rise about ninety to one hundred
Speaker 10: billion by twenty thirty thirty two. As well, we want
Speaker 10: to do a have an investigation audit into the Aboriginal industry,
Speaker 10: which I've been talking.
Speaker 7: About for the last twenty nine thirty years.
Speaker 10: Of bign Minister's Some cabinet gives the niAA four point
Speaker 10: five billion a year, the other departments their grants is
Speaker 10: eleven billion from another government departments and also another twelve
Speaker 10: and a half billion.
Speaker 7: There's no accountability for this.
Speaker 10: You've got three thousand Aboriginal corporations out there. They receive royalties,
Speaker 10: they don't pay tax and royalties.
Speaker 7: This country has been taken over and it's wrong and
Speaker 7: we need to and if I ever do.
Speaker 10: Anything before I'm out of politics, is to treat everyone
Speaker 10: equally on a needs basis, not race, and get.
Speaker 7: Rid of this division that's happened in our country throughout racism.
Speaker 1: At Tonia wants you to think for a couple of
Speaker 1: seconds about what you would do when it comes to
Speaker 1: the deficit. But Bob Katter, how would you deal with
Speaker 1: what he's now going to be ten years and then
Speaker 1: forty in the long term. No.
Speaker 6: I come out of a government that ran massive deficits.
Speaker 6: We spent three thousand million in one year just coming
Speaker 6: back thirty years and our entire budget was three thousand million.
Speaker 6: It was spent on building the biggest power station in
Speaker 6: the world, which was.
Speaker 2: Fueled by free coal. We took the coal where they
Speaker 2: liked it or night for free.
Speaker 6: And we're the chiefs dilectricty in the world and we
Speaker 6: got the biggest stadium minium state producing in the world.
Speaker 2: In return for that, we were building a dam every year.
Speaker 6: And one thousand kilometers of rail to open up mines,
Speaker 6: which we opened up a massive mind every eight or
Speaker 6: nine months. We're opening up a new mind that hasn't
Speaker 6: been a new mine opened in Queensland in.
Speaker 2: Thirty two years.
Speaker 3: I played a bit of a role in that brownded
Speaker 3: the Night opened just a few years ago.
Speaker 6: I take that back because he's right about the Dani mine.
Speaker 6: Sometimes people like myself from hud Rock Mining, but I.
Speaker 2: Think about coal in that seat. Please, you've had yours,
Speaker 2: say you have myself right.
Speaker 6: Our political party will build a relay line if we
Speaker 6: get the balance of power. I'm sure into the Galilee
Speaker 6: and open up the Galilee, which will double coal production.
Speaker 1: In the state.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry to mister Canavan, but his party is keeping
Speaker 6: that tax, and that tax means that all marginal minds
Speaker 6: will close, no new minds will open, and as the
Speaker 6: old minds run out of coal, we're closing down the industry.
Speaker 6: Now the Liberal Party in Queensland telling their waking back benches,
Speaker 6: look mate, it's going to close down.
Speaker 2: See with that tax there to close down.
Speaker 6: Right, and there's public Oh, we would never do anything
Speaker 6: close down the coal industry when you, in fact are
Speaker 6: closing it.
Speaker 2: Down, you're keeping that charge in there.
Speaker 6: And look, honestly, I just reached a stage in my
Speaker 6: life where I'm sick and tired of hypocrisy and I
Speaker 6: just get it every day and it just makes me
Speaker 6: madd and matter.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not as well advanced in seniority as you,
Speaker 1: good self, but I feel it every day too. Don't worry,
Speaker 1: You're amongst friends in that feeling, Matt. You're responds to
Speaker 1: that though, I mean, let's respond to that. Obviously, it's
Speaker 1: Queensland state matters versus Federal Party all the rest of
Speaker 1: it here. But what's your thoughts about how an incoming
Speaker 1: LNP government would either be able to better negotiate with
Speaker 1: Queensland to get rid of it, or to do something
Speaker 1: to override it.
Speaker 9: Well, look, I mean it is a state issue, as
Speaker 9: you say, Paulie ellen Cley just up the road across
Speaker 9: the border have been elected not to change the color
Speaker 9: royalties in Queensland, so they won't be doing that. I
Speaker 9: believe governments should stick to their promises. They're elected on
Speaker 9: their promise and I won't ask a government to break
Speaker 9: a promise with people that they've been elected on. So
Speaker 9: that's the reality of that. There does need to be
Speaker 9: a look at that over time. The big issue there
Speaker 9: is the thresholds haven't been changed for years, yet costs
Speaker 9: have gone up enormously. What would be good is if
Speaker 9: we can get the cost back down. So the cost
Speaker 9: of mining a ton of coal now in Queensland is
Speaker 9: for often well over one hundred dollars a ton with
Speaker 9: a higher royalty's crick kick in. It used to be
Speaker 9: seventy or eighty dollars a ton. It's gone up a
Speaker 9: lot just the last few years. Energy is a big deal,
Speaker 9: red tapees a big deal, and those are the things
Speaker 9: the federal government can try and fix to bring those
Speaker 9: costs down, and the royalties might matter as much.
Speaker 1: Right Tony question was about the deficit. What would you
Speaker 1: do if you could be Prime minister for twelve hours
Speaker 1: and you can have a half of a hilltop home somewhere,
Speaker 1: what would you do with the deficit.
Speaker 11: I think we just need to try and cut expenses
Speaker 11: and some of the areas that the National Party we're
Speaker 11: talking about was cutting the expenses in camera, cutting the
Speaker 11: public service back to the bare minimum.
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, Tony, appreciate it all right now
Speaker 1: before we get to our next question here, Pauline, your
Speaker 1: beautiful and wonderful daughter Lee is running for the Senate
Speaker 1: in Tasmania. Bob, your boy Robbie is kicking backside in
Speaker 1: Bricebane as the leader of the canter Australian Party. Matt,
Speaker 1: if one of your kids comes to you and says, Dad,
Speaker 1: I'm coming for your Senate spot, would you want a
Speaker 1: second Canavan in the garden.
Speaker 9: I'd love my kids do whatever they want to do.
Speaker 9: I do encourage young people to get involved in politics.
Speaker 9: I think it's a noble pursuit. So if they want
Speaker 9: to do it, great, But kids at the moment are
Speaker 9: riches in other things. One's launching rockets all over the place.
Speaker 3: And good on him. We need more people do on
Speaker 3: that too.
Speaker 1: So, Bob, what's your advice to Pauline about letting your
Speaker 1: kid in have their own political identity, Because obviously that's
Speaker 1: plenty of questions that come when Lee's The first question
Speaker 1: is bleeze about mum. Question Mum is about about Lee?
Speaker 1: What's your advice to her? If there's another generation who
Speaker 1: want to take on a party. I said to mine,
Speaker 1: she's taking notes.
Speaker 6: I said to my son, who had no knowledge of
Speaker 6: anything in life except rugby league a contract with the Cowboys,
Speaker 6: I said, if you ever feel.
Speaker 2: You've got to do something, because your name is Katta,
Speaker 2: I will kill you. I will personally kill you.
Speaker 1: Well, so, Pauline, if you said that to Lee, how
Speaker 1: would she go?
Speaker 7: No, she wanted to kill me because I wanted her
Speaker 7: to go on in the politics.
Speaker 1: She's none.
Speaker 7: I saw everything that she went through. Why would I
Speaker 7: want to put myself through it? And that was a
Speaker 7: few years ago. But the fact is that now she's
Speaker 7: had her two children of her own.
Speaker 10: She says the issues that are happening in Tasmania, she says,
Speaker 10: I can't sit back and not do anything about it.
Speaker 10: So she's got the passion dedication. Don't underestimate my daughter.
Speaker 10: They underestimated me, and guess what, I'm still here.
Speaker 1: They have all read yeah, funny for one nation in Tasmania.
Speaker 1: That that you can hear in the background, by the way,
Speaker 1: is not here at the venue. It's the sounds of
Speaker 1: heads exploding. At The Guardian, writing about watching tonight's program
Speaker 1: here on Sky News. All right, I've got Meghan. Where
Speaker 1: are you, my friend? Come on down? Holdo, dun't it?
Speaker 1: What is the question that you would like to ask
Speaker 1: this wonderful group of people.
Speaker 7: Okay, please explain.
Speaker 12: So it's too why we must pull out of the
Speaker 12: Paris Agreement and twenty fifty net zero target and how
Speaker 12: do you believe that it's affecting our cost of living?
Speaker 1: Good on you mate? All right Paul in Paris, you've
Speaker 1: already said you want out?
Speaker 3: Why yes, I have, because.
Speaker 10: We're the silly buggers that are signed up to it,
Speaker 10: and no, the other countries have signed up to it
Speaker 10: aren't going down the pulling back on their emissions. We
Speaker 10: put out one percent of missions out in the whole world.
Speaker 10: It's supposed to be global, but we're actually not. And
Speaker 10: we're bound to it by the government'spent holding us to
Speaker 10: the emissions trading that we're doing at the moment and
Speaker 10: reducing the missions is actually costing us our country to
Speaker 10: go down the bloody drain our ways life, our standard
Speaker 10: living dimlitious.
Speaker 7: Well, it is putting so much pressure on our country.
Speaker 10: Get out of the Powis Agreement, get rid of the
Speaker 10: climate change bis teach our kids in their educational system
Speaker 10: critical thinking. Let them have both sides for the argument
Speaker 10: to make up their mind. I'm sick of these kids
Speaker 10: being told they're coming to the world's coming to an end.
Speaker 10: I'll tell everyone out of you, you're more likely to
Speaker 10: die from lack of operations and the medical attension and
Speaker 10: medication that you need rather than the will coming to
Speaker 10: a bloody.
Speaker 7: End, because it's not going to happen.
Speaker 10: So we need to do this and you get rid
Speaker 10: of this rubbish, this climate change zalance that are out
Speaker 10: there people making a lot of money out of the
Speaker 10: expense of the Australian people, and people need to wake
Speaker 10: up to themselves.
Speaker 7: We have to get rid of this climate change.
Speaker 10: Countries now that head it down this track, there's Germany,
Speaker 10: France and other countries and Canada and all the rest
Speaker 10: of it, and China and Japan and making the culvide
Speaker 10: power stations which we support, build new coal fired power
Speaker 10: stations ninety percent emissions free the coal that we have.
Speaker 10: Instead of shipping it overseas and news now.
Speaker 7: Clean coal, we mouse it for ourselves. Reduce the energy,
Speaker 7: the passive energy.
Speaker 10: In the square, start our industry and manufacturing, give the
Speaker 10: people of this country hope for the future, because if
Speaker 10: we don't, I want people in the one generation to
Speaker 10: come and if we don't change it, we will be
Speaker 10: a third world nation like Argentina went all.
Speaker 1: Right, good on you, Megan, thank you, Matt response, and
Speaker 1: then Bobbles, well, thank we Well.
Speaker 9: Look, I remember had some people come into my office
Speaker 9: a few years ago and try and convince me that
Speaker 9: we should sign up to the Paris or something and
Speaker 9: zero missions, and I heard them out. I'm very respectful,
Speaker 9: and I just turned them and said do you trust China?
Speaker 9: And they sort of are gobsmack to bit, And you know,
Speaker 9: no one really can answer that question with a yes
Speaker 9: with a straight face, right. It's like, well, ultimately, if
Speaker 9: we're to do this, we have to trust the other
Speaker 9: countries we're doing it with, because if they leech on
Speaker 9: the deal, if they squelch squelch on it, we will
Speaker 9: be left far behind. And because the Elvis answer that
Speaker 9: question is no, I don't trust the Chinese comments party.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 9: I mean, they can't be trusted. We can't sign up
Speaker 9: to this agreement. It's as simple as that, we've seen
Speaker 9: the real world effects of this in the last few years.
Speaker 9: Did anyone see that should advertise other shows on Sky News.
Speaker 3: You should usually be watching Sky News.
Speaker 9: But there was a great documentary on Channel seven the
Speaker 9: other night about it industry. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 9: you give credit where Yeah, I've heard of Chris Olmond
Speaker 9: did a great one too, and that zero should check
Speaker 9: out as well. But so so, China has built could
Speaker 9: fire power stations in Indonesia. They've undercut our nickel industry,
Speaker 9: a very proud industry we established back in the nineteen
Speaker 9: sixties with the world's largest nickel exporter.
Speaker 3: That's the little dead what's three thousand.
Speaker 9: Jobs in this country because we're silly enough to think
Speaker 9: that the Tesla boy and customers of Europe would go
Speaker 9: for the green energy nickel that we were producing at
Speaker 9: high cost and not the the so called dirty, cheap
Speaker 9: black nickel produced by Chinese finance coal mines in Indonesia.
Speaker 3: And guess what they did.
Speaker 9: They bought the Indonesia nickel. And we've lost three thousand jobs.
Speaker 9: Now that's just the start of it. If we keep
Speaker 9: doing this, we'll keep losing and manufacturing industries will lose
Speaker 9: ability to make steel. We'se a copper industry that Bob
Speaker 9: defends up there in the northwest of Queensland, and suddenly
Speaker 9: we will no longer be able not just to make things.
Speaker 3: We were able to defend ourselves.
Speaker 1: Bob, you get the last a on this one before
Speaker 1: we head off field. Great pape Again about.
Speaker 6: My background, it's mining. I was prospected workman minds. There's
Speaker 6: Friday Ma mining company Foreignto Parliament. My background is mining.
Speaker 6: We can't process copper because we can't afford that electricity.
Speaker 6: We can't, are you many, It's doomed, it's cajealed electricity.
Speaker 6: The plant in Townsville, they're trying to do something, but
Speaker 6: again the cost of electricity will cripple and kill them.
Speaker 6: The fertilizer plant, which I'm desperately trying. We really don't
Speaker 6: produce any fertilizer much at all in Australia, and yet
Speaker 6: we've got the largest phosphate deposits.
Speaker 1: In the world.
Speaker 2: But the gas is all foreign owned.
Speaker 6: And I'm sorry to say that the Liverpool Party and
Speaker 6: the Lave Party gave all of our gas away for
Speaker 6: six cents a unit and we have to buy it
Speaker 6: back at sixteen dollars sixty Well, good on Peter Dunton
Speaker 6: for saying he's bringing it down to ten dollars.
Speaker 2: But I'm sorry, Peter, the Russians are getting it for
Speaker 2: five dollars.
Speaker 6: The big fertilizer voice from the block, the United States,
Speaker 6: the big fertilized boys, they're getting it for five dollars.
Speaker 6: So good on your pete from bringing it down to ten.
Speaker 6: But unless it comes down to five, we can't compete.
Speaker 6: Reserved resource policy was the heart and soul of the
Speaker 6: Country Party, the party that I belonged to all on
Speaker 6: my life that was died and was killed and was
Speaker 6: gone on. But the return of reserved resource policy and giving.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's our gas and we can't.
Speaker 3: Produce itserve it because we can't.
Speaker 6: You said you're going to reserve it and you'll bring
Speaker 6: it down to ten dollars, and I praise you greatly
Speaker 6: for that.
Speaker 2: Please understand I appraise you, Matt.
Speaker 1: I'd like it up.
Speaker 3: I can do that, no matter.
Speaker 2: I'd like you to listen instead of talking, right, I'd
Speaker 2: like you to listen because.
Speaker 6: What I said was, if you're bringing it down to
Speaker 6: ten dollars, our competitors are on five. So there's not
Speaker 6: much point in bringing it down to ten dollars if
Speaker 6: we're going to close every industry because everyone's getting it
Speaker 6: for five dollars. Now, we at reserve resource policy and
Speaker 6: we need that with aggression and with determination or it's
Speaker 6: our it's our resource that.
Speaker 9: We just got, right, don't we break down to two?
Speaker 9: Where do you get five dollars from Bob? I mean,
Speaker 9: the problem is we don't produce oil anymore. Russia produces oil,
Speaker 9: America produces oil. What they can sell gas for those
Speaker 9: cheap prices. You can't ask a company to sell something
Speaker 9: for less than the cost to produce. And the cost
Speaker 9: of production in Australia for gas is high now because
Speaker 9: we ban fracking all over the place. We don't allow
Speaker 9: oil expiration to occur, and that's why the cost production
Speaker 9: is high.
Speaker 3: Now, we'll bring it down to as low as we can,
Speaker 3: but without oil production, we're not going to get those
Speaker 3: sort of prices.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to jump.
Speaker 6: My advice is that you can produce gas in Australia
Speaker 6: for three cents a unit, not.
Speaker 3: Ten dollars, like a lot of money a unit.
Speaker 6: You put a hole in the ground and the gas
Speaker 6: comes out and cost a lot on your might be
Speaker 6: it's a bit more gets here.
Speaker 1: In a debate with breaking out. There'll be more in
Speaker 1: a second, including a question that is genuinely going to
Speaker 1: stunt these guys more than a second. Youre on Paul
Speaker 1: Murray Live. Welcome back the Mighty Seagulls Club. Here in
Speaker 1: tween Heads. We've got the Mavericks in Australian politics, Bob,
Speaker 1: Pauline Hanson and our great friend Bat Canavan here. It
Speaker 1: is a whole collection of questions from good people who
Speaker 1: watch the show, watch the channel, and want the opportunity
Speaker 1: to be here. Of course, all of you are Queenslanders.
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking the giant leap ten kilometers past
Speaker 1: the border of Queensland for est I do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Here all right, now we've got Darren Darren, Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: probably going to redraw the barrier at some point. All right,
Speaker 1: give us an idea. What's your question?
Speaker 13: Thanks, Paul. What's something unique that sets you apart from
Speaker 13: the others? Now, he was saying, the others at this table,
Speaker 13: all other candidates. It's more fun if you say this,
Speaker 13: tak Yeah, here we go. We'll go to the rest.
Speaker 1: We all know in many ways, what sets you out Pauline.
Speaker 7: Well, I think we're all pretty much the same.
Speaker 10: Do we say what we think, and I've got the
Speaker 10: guts to say what a lot of people thinking but
Speaker 10: won't say it.
Speaker 7: But the fact is, you've got to be true to yourself.
Speaker 10: And I get fed up with a lot of these
Speaker 10: politicians that will tell the public something, do different on
Speaker 10: the floor of Parliament and there's no accountability. So people
Speaker 10: must be held to account for what they say and
Speaker 10: what they do, and I think that's very important.
Speaker 7: People don't trust politicians anymore.
Speaker 10: They're sick of all with rebel that comes out of
Speaker 10: their mouth, especially the election time, and they want people
Speaker 10: that speak the truth. Just tell us exactly the way
Speaker 10: you think, the way you're going to vote, and I
Speaker 10: think that's what people want out of their representatives.
Speaker 1: Bob, with all of that nodding, party, merger, party merger,
Speaker 1: what stands out for you? How do you stand out
Speaker 1: from one nation?
Speaker 6: And the Olympic I come out of it was called developmentalism.
Speaker 6: You know, we borrowed money to build great assets for
Speaker 6: our nation and we were very successful at it. And
Speaker 6: I'm very much driven by that same developmentalism. The greatest
Speaker 6: engineer in Australia in history, Doctor Bradfield said, take a
Speaker 6: little bit of water where it rains all the time,
Speaker 6: and the electorate I represent.
Speaker 2: One hundred of rainfall. A little tiny bit of that water,
Speaker 2: send it.
Speaker 6: Out west and we can be the greatest agricultural nation
Speaker 6: on earth. That great man built Sydney of a bridge,
Speaker 6: built Sydney's water supply, built the University of Queensland. I
Speaker 6: don't know how many things he built, and the most
Speaker 6: famous for was what he didn't built Bradfield scheme. And
Speaker 6: it was announced by Malcolm Fraser's government and the Jockie
Speaker 6: Pederson's government, and it was unannounced by the incoming labor
Speaker 6: government the next year. Sadly, so it's it's there now.
Speaker 6: As you say, what is what drives me? Stand cost
Speaker 6: up Slim Dusty describes the greatest wordsmith in the English language,
Speaker 6: and I'd agree with Slim. He said, I wonder if
Speaker 6: the ghosts of the fallen can see the crime and
Speaker 6: corruption and vast poverty. I lost generation of youth on
Speaker 6: the doll a drift on lie stations without any goal.
Speaker 6: I once had a dream, my country's so grand where
Speaker 6: the rivers are back. You're a gage of the land
Speaker 6: with jams and canals and that waste land out there
Speaker 6: and beginland cities with work everywhere. Then I went from
Speaker 6: dreaming to reality. Australia's wealth goes over the sea.
Speaker 1: Very well, Matt, what a program, Paul.
Speaker 3: You've had a bit of beer for a bit of poetry.
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm loving us. Good Night Monday Night, and that's what
Speaker 1: we love it.
Speaker 3: That was wonderful from Bob.
Speaker 1: Look, I don't know.
Speaker 9: I never thought i'd be here. You know, sometimes I
Speaker 9: do think I'm in that movie where you go. You know,
Speaker 9: you're probably wondering how I got here, And I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know how I got here. I never really
Speaker 3: thought i'd do this.
Speaker 9: And I grew up just the road and logan, no
Speaker 9: political family, and sort of fell into things by working
Speaker 9: for different people. And so look, I've never really held
Speaker 9: it that closely. We're asked, but that closely. If it
Speaker 9: all ends tomorrow, I'd be very very happy, man. I
Speaker 9: could go back to the five kids and my wife
Speaker 9: spent all my time with them. Uh and and maybe
Speaker 9: get back to work in my golf game. And so
Speaker 9: I don't know how Donald Trump does he plays a
Speaker 9: lot of golf, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: I never get to play golf, but Jewish occasional playing golf.
Speaker 9: But I think because it's a great honor to serve
Speaker 9: Queensland and represent you all or most of you hear
Speaker 9: from Queensland, and and I just try and make sure
Speaker 9: that I do everything that I can do to leave
Speaker 9: that thinking. I haven't left it on the playing field.
Speaker 9: So when I crossed the floor, and I think I
Speaker 9: might across the floor more times than Barnaby Joyce. Now
Speaker 9: I've got to tell it up when I did it.
Speaker 9: When when I did it, we voted, vated. I voted
Speaker 9: on the vaccine. Man, it's I moved the man on
Speaker 9: the vaccine. I moved the man as well.
Speaker 3: I just I think the problem is Okay, that's a
Speaker 3: good question. So one should ask that question, why don't
Speaker 3: I join one nation?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 9: Well, because the only person in the next twelve months
Speaker 9: that can control the ridiculous migration of coming to this
Speaker 9: country is Peter Dunt exact.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love you, Pauline, I love you Bobby
Speaker 3: the Great.
Speaker 9: Both wonderful institutions in our Australian political system, but neither
Speaker 9: of you can control the border that only the Prime
Speaker 9: Minister can do that with his pen and change the regulation.
Speaker 9: And I think it's ridiculous that under this government, every
Speaker 9: forty four seconds someone's arriving in this country during this
Speaker 9: program tonight, eighty people will turn up. There's no houses
Speaker 9: for them and there's no new hospitals being built for them,
Speaker 9: and we're all paying the price for that. And so
Speaker 9: the only person that can change that's Peter Dune and
Speaker 9: that's why I support him, and that's why I want
Speaker 9: to change of government in again.
Speaker 3: In three weeks.
Speaker 6: We'll get you up from Paul. It might be that
Speaker 6: I might be in a more powerful position than Peter
Speaker 6: Dutton in three weeks time.
Speaker 2: Share about that one, Matt personally.
Speaker 1: Well, let me.
Speaker 2: Let me continue.
Speaker 6: No, there's nearly half a million people coming into Australia
Speaker 6: every year. Now, you know you want some sort of
Speaker 6: integration factor, I would think, right. Do they come from democracies?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Do they come from countries through law?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: They come from Christianity countries.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Do they come from countries with industrial awards?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Do they come from countries with egalitarian traditions?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 6: I have said to Darton, just stop immigration, just stop it.
Speaker 6: And start again, please please, Now, ninety two percent of
Speaker 6: them that come.
Speaker 2: In the last twelve years, effectively.
Speaker 6: Almost all ninety two percent with the capital cities, but
Speaker 6: almost all of them went to Sydney and Melbourne. There's
Speaker 6: no jobs in Sydney Melbourne. All factories have closed down,
Speaker 6: all processing plants have gone.
Speaker 2: So what are they doing there? Are there living in
Speaker 2: little ethnic.
Speaker 6: Colonies that I think they hate us. I don't think
Speaker 6: they'll ever become Australians. So I'm just saying stop, stop
Speaker 6: and start again. Otherwise this country is going to be
Speaker 6: drowned under a flood of people that really don't have
Speaker 6: the values that we have.
Speaker 1: But a little pushback on that. I don't know the
Speaker 1: exact geography, but a couple of seats up, a couple
Speaker 1: of seats down from where you sit as an independent
Speaker 1: in the Parliament is dialegu right, a person who literally
Speaker 1: would wear the Australian flag and is a person who
Speaker 1: represents a community that has got a very significant Vietnamese
Speaker 1: community in it. So let's get to that day after
Speaker 1: the election. Let's imagine it all comes down to he
Speaker 1: needs this being the Prime minister, he needs five or
Speaker 1: he needs one. The shopping list that you've talked about before.
Speaker 1: Is an albow going to say that, yes, that know that,
Speaker 1: maybe how do you force him to do the thing
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to do as a way of getting
Speaker 1: your support.
Speaker 2: Look, I had to say this, but the Liberal leader,
Speaker 2: I won't mention his name.
Speaker 6: He agreed to a whole lot of things and really,
Speaker 6: looking back on it, he had absolutely no interest in
Speaker 6: delivering on any of those things.
Speaker 3: So you're going to pick Elbot.
Speaker 1: You know, are you talking about in this parliament in
Speaker 1: the twenty ten negotiation?
Speaker 2: I'm talking about ages ago. But really the situation in.
Speaker 6: The parliament has been reasonably close now for about a
Speaker 6: decade and I'm inclined to think that they will increase.
Speaker 6: Neither of the major parties were able to get thirty
Speaker 6: three percent last election outside of America send their constitution.
Speaker 6: But outside America, I don't know of any two party
Speaker 6: systems left very Japan doesn't have them, India doesn't have them,
Speaker 6: France doesn't have them.
Speaker 2: I mean what country on.
Speaker 6: Earth does have But you can do party system, but
Speaker 6: if it's not enough, it's outdated.
Speaker 2: And Pauline and I represent a different wave.
Speaker 1: But if you've got to pick Albo or Dunton. What's
Speaker 1: your methodology for which way you go? Is the most
Speaker 1: number of seats, the most number of votes, the bloke
Speaker 1: you like the most. Give me an idea, because if
Speaker 1: it does come down to you, you are going to
Speaker 1: be more powerful an you one in this room.
Speaker 2: I love my country Australia.
Speaker 6: I love my country Australia, and I think a few
Speaker 6: people would question that I'm very aggressive. It may be
Speaker 6: a little excessive in that, but I have been elected
Speaker 6: to serve the people of North Queensland. We are sitting
Speaker 6: there watching Brisbane give itself sixty two thousand million for
Speaker 6: an Olympic Games. When four hundred thousand of us were trapped.
Speaker 2: Trapped, we lost four lives. If it had gone on
Speaker 2: for another week, we had lost hundreds of lives. We
Speaker 2: have no way of getting out. There are thirty six.
Speaker 6: Kilometers of tunnels in Brisbane that they don't need, pleasure
Speaker 6: and leisure dunnels.
Speaker 2: We can't get one kilometer of tunnel.
Speaker 3: So my.
Speaker 6: My loyalty is to my people, and you give me
Speaker 6: the best deal. And if Matt thinks that is mob
Speaker 6: better from North Queensland, then he can confidently say I'll
Speaker 6: be back in this month.
Speaker 9: This mob have just shut down the live sheep industry, Bob.
Speaker 9: They have shut down an entire Australian farming industry. I've
Speaker 9: never it's never happened in our history. It's not getting
Speaker 9: the coverage that deserves in this election campaign. The thousands
Speaker 9: of WA farmers right now that are struggling and not
Speaker 9: knowing what to do with the.
Speaker 3: Future is because of the decision. It's government.
Speaker 9: So I don't understand how someone from North Queensland. We
Speaker 9: know the life cattle industr will be next. So that's
Speaker 9: who'll be next on the chopping block. You can even
Speaker 9: consider voting or supporting a mob that has just shut
Speaker 9: down those poor Wa farmers over there, and your own,
Speaker 9: your own producers, your own grazes could be next on
Speaker 9: the wholl.
Speaker 2: Right, what can I say that? You're one of the
Speaker 2: best blakes in there, right, your terrific. But you make
Speaker 2: a great prime minister, right, You're great.
Speaker 6: Not going to happen, Oh my god, don't come here
Speaker 6: and mislead these people. Your deputy leader, Your deputy leader
Speaker 6: is Susan lay Guess it moved for the abolition to
Speaker 6: all live animals from Australia, Susan lay and she's your
Speaker 6: deputy leader. But she did of hypocrisy here, a fairly
Speaker 6: large scale one like that.
Speaker 1: All right, I've gotta break. We'll be back in a second.
Speaker 1: We'll go to lightning round in a moment or two time.
Speaker 1: I promise you will get to you. He's got a
Speaker 1: great question too. Plenty more from Seagulls to your tweet heads.
Speaker 1: The mattericks happen. It's this on a Monday night. Welcome back.
Speaker 1: We're at Seagulls Club here in tweeentheads. We are here
Speaker 1: with the Mavericks in Australian politics, Paul in Heads and
Speaker 1: Bobcatta and Matt can Evan. All right, now we've got
Speaker 1: less than five minutes. We've got about one hundred questions
Speaker 1: but sixty second responses and only one question per person.
Speaker 1: But the crowd will choose who do you want to
Speaker 1: answer the next question? Bob, Paul Leen or Matt? One? Two, three, Nathan,
Speaker 1: what's your question and I'll decide.
Speaker 3: Okay, thinking for an easy one.
Speaker 1: If you could change, propose a referendum to change austraight
Speaker 1: in anyway big or small, what would it be? Pulleen
Speaker 1: couple of things.
Speaker 10: Well, it's hard. Freedom of speech. We need to put
Speaker 10: it into what our people. Freedom of speech for countries,
Speaker 10: which I've tried to clean and it was down by
Speaker 10: both the major political parties.
Speaker 7: I didn't get it up. I have put it up
Speaker 7: to get freedom of speech in our constitution.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, who's Matt or Bob? Who gets the
Speaker 1: next one? Matt, Matte or Bob. Well that means it's
Speaker 1: going to be Bob, because I know I know how
Speaker 1: this works. All right, Dion, where are you mate? Come
Speaker 1: on down? Quick question? One minute answer? Thanks for turning up.
Speaker 5: Guys, what would you What do you think needs to
Speaker 5: be done to stop the hamorrhaging of small business in
Speaker 5: the country?
Speaker 1: One minute, Bob Catter more minutes to go.
Speaker 6: Let me just give you one specific We have moved
Speaker 6: legislation for divestment of will Worths and Coals down to
Speaker 6: twenty percent. That will create maybe two or three thousand
Speaker 6: small businesses and give small businesses an opportunity to compete
Speaker 6: against giants that have eighty or ninety percent.
Speaker 2: Of the Australian food market.
Speaker 6: Now I can go on and give you other examples,
Speaker 6: but they all run into that sort of category. I'm
Speaker 6: from a small business, five generations a small business in Australia.
Speaker 6: And also the tax system as it works militates very
Speaker 6: badly against small businesses.
