WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 31 October 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.240 From the Sky News Center. 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.559 This is Paul Murray Live. 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.000 Good evening and welcome. I'm Caleb Bond. 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:11.680 It's Beido number two in for Paul tonight. He's on 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.000 his way to the USA, of course, for the election. 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.239 Plenty more to come from him next week. But in 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.840 the meantime, pour yourself a drink and settle in for. 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.520 A ripper hour. I'll have Michael Kroger. 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.720 And Christie McSweeney with me soon, and I'll talk to 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.080 an old maid of mine who's made a docco about 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.240 patching fire in a horror car crash. 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.280 And living to tell the tale. Well, the whole Alban. 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.160 Eazy Quantus thing just gets weirder and weirder and weirder. 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.320 Now I've been calling him Albert Freebee. Paul of course 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.519 has been calling him upgrade Albow, and he's clearly worried 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:44.680 this stuff is sticking. 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:45.919 That's because it is. 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.960 He told his ministers at a meeting in Melbourne today 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.480 that he was the victim of an unfair media campaign 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.880 and that Labor was held to a higher standard than 0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:00.280 the Coalition. What a classic look over there. Oh, why 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.399 is the media so unfair on poor old Elbow? 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:05.679 I mean, come on. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.960 He must really be off with the pixies if he 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.560 believes that one god. 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.680 Fly with me, will fly, We'll fly. 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:16.679 Hey, God, let my away. 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.440 Actually, after this week he may well be thinking more 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.320 along the lines of this sinnatratude. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.959 Fly me to the moon, let me play up there 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.120 with those stars. 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.080 At least he wouldn't have to deal with us up there. 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:36.840 And well, if he can get a quantus upgrade on 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.640 the way, why not. Now we know he said all 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.080 this stuff at the meeting because a number of people 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.560 who were in the meeting leaked it to the Nine Papers. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.160 And when ministers start leaking against their prime minister, you 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.920 know things are not going well. One MP who was 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.920 at the meeting quoted him as saying, the same thing 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.600 happened to Kevin Rudd, the same thing happened to Julia Gillard, 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.760 and then Bill Shorten, and. 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.440 Now me I mean boohoo. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.800 Another person who was there told the Nine Papers that 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.359 it was quote a massive sook up. In The Australian, 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.120 they wrote. One person at the meeting told The Australian 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.120 the monologue was even worse than his widely panned press 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.000 conference a day earlier, accusing the Prime Minister of rambling 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.240 without having a clear objective of what his ministers should 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.639 take away from the comments. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.720 Oh dear. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.119 Now, this morning Ben Fordham on two GB read out 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.760 an exchange he had with Albinizi where he denied talking 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.880 to anyone at Quantas about getting upgrades. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.880 Crucially, as of this morning, he has denied ever talking 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.160 to Alan Joyce about flight upgrades or personal travel. We 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.880 asked the PM if he's discussed all of this with 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:55.280 Alan Joyce. The PM replied, no, I haven't spoken to 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:56.880 Alan in a very long time. 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:57.720 Now. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.120 We asked the Prime Minister to join us on on 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.440 air today, but he told us he's unavailable. Why he's 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:05.280 catching a plane. 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:07.680 Fantastic, isn't it. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.760 So he's finally denied it nearly a week later. Now, 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.880 remember yesterday he put out a very carefully worded statement 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.160 saying he'd never called Alan Joyce about an upgrade. But 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.760 he certainly didn't deny talking to anyone else. Now, if 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.960 he never asked anyone for an upgrade, then why didn't 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.680 he just say so from the outset? You know, I 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.359 can understand if he can't remember every upgrade he's ever 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.280 been given, because yes, lots of politicians get them, but 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.119 surely you'd remember whether you asked for one, because that's 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.360 not the usual course of action. And yet until now 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.560 he said no such thing. But he expects us to 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.400 believe him now. And of course Sharry revealed last night 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.320 that the QUANTUS then Group Executive for Government and International Affairs, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:59.080 Andrew Parker, had personally handled Albaneze's upgrades and that they 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.080 were mates. He still has an answered that one, but 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:03.160 today it was time. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:03.800 For a distraction. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.680 So it was that Peter Dutton had asked Gina ryan 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.520 Hart to use her private jet. Now he was asked 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.720 on Tuesday whether he'd ever done that, and he said no, 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.080 that was wrong, and he deserves to be criticized for that. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.400 He corrected the record today though. 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.880 And at that point, I think we had a charter estimate, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.479 which was about forty thousand dollars to fly from rock 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.360 Hampden to Sydney and then back to Mackay. I thought 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.880 that was very expensive, and the cheap option for the 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:36.120 taxpayer was for my office to speak to Missus Reinhart's 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.400 officer as to whether the plane might be available. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.000 That was at zero cost. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.039 To the taxpayer, and that's as I mean, I don't 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.719 think you'd get as clear a statement as that from 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.520 the Prime minister. But that's what happened. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.760 But let's be serious here, this is a completely different situation. 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.440 Labour wants you to think that this is in some 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.040 way comparable. That Dutton has had snout in the trough 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.599 just as much and so look, we're not any different 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.960 than the other mob but they're not the same. Dutton's office, 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.560 while he is in opposition, asks a personal friend of 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.480 his whether he can borrow her plane to go to 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.720 a Barley bombing memorial. It's not like missus Reinhardt has 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.920 Dubai Dutton support. He's previously declared himself the best friend 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:27.440 mining's ever had. That's his publicly stated clear policy position. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.320 And the mining sector is completely different to the airline sector. 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.080 Mining licenses are assessed and granted by state governments and 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.719 it's generally done at a departmental level, not by the minister. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.679 The federal government only regulates offshore exploration the airline sector. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.839 The airline sector, i should say, on the other hand, 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.880 is tightly controlled by the federal government, with many operators 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.600 of course fighting for the opportunity to run their planes 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.640 in and out of Australia and around Australia, and that 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.880 is at the discretion of the Transport Minister now regardless 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.839 of whether or not he actually solicited the upgrades. What 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.719 we are talking about with Albanizi is the Transport Minister 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:13.279 taking gifts from the biggest stakeholder in his portfolio, over 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.880 whose industry he has almost total control. He could choose 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.600 how many quantus flights were allowed and how many flights 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.000 every other airline was allowed to have. That's what we're 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.640 talking about here. It is in no way comparable to 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.599 Peter Dutton and it's frankly a pathetic attempt to get 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.200 people to look in the other direction. And of course 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.080 the decisions of the Transport Minister, the decisions he makes 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.520 about what airlines can operate and how many flights they 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.600 can run, that directly affects what you pay for flights 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.200 because it controls how much competition. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:49.839 There is in the market. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.760 It's one of the main reasons that Rex fell over 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.760 on its mission to run between the capital cities, because 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.200 Sydney to Melbourne is one of the busiest and one 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.520 of the most profitable airline routes in the world. But 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.240 they could only get too slot today in the mid 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.440 morning and the late evening, which aren't prime flying time. 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.440 I mean, how is another operator meant to break into 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:14.200 the market if they're not allowed to fly when people 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.480 want to fly. These are the decisions that the Transport 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.200 Minister makes. That's why it's important whether or not the 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:27.560 Transport Minister gets free gifts upgrades from quantas and in 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.280 the interest of declarations, because that's the word of the week, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.000 it would seem I was once given a free drink 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.400 on a Rex flight, would you believe it? But again, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.320 this is the power of the Transport Minister, and that's 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.680 why the Transport Minister taking gifts from the biggest and 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:47.240 most powerful airline in the country stinks. They can try 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.760 to point fingers at Dutton and others all they want, 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.000 but it's not the same. Now, the COVID inquiry report 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.640 was handed down on Tuesday, and have we heard from 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.960 a single pandemic premier year? 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:01.640 Now you know what was in it. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.120 But just for the sake of clarity, because I don't 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.640 think you can point this stuff out enough, I'll avail 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:07.320 you of some of. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.360 Its greatest hits. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.920 The evidence suggests that some restrictions were poorly justified in 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.040 extent and all duration, disproportionate to the risk, and inconsistently 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:22.560 applied across the country, and that specific groups were disproportionately impacted. Yes, 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.080 It said that people felt that restrictive measures were not 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.760 appropriate in the long term and were too heavy handed 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.920 and controlling, and that there was a perception that authorities 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.760 lacked compassion and refused to make exceptions based on need 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:41.760 and circumstance. Correct It said that fairness and proportionality should 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.880 have been considered in restrictions. More evidence based approaches are advisable, 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.360 and that there were limited real time evaluations of public 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.600 health measures and policy decisions to make sure that they 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:55.600 actually worked. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.160 It said the closure of state borders. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:02.880 Was enacted unilaterally and lack consistency and compassion in implementation. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.600 It said that broad opposition to vaccine mandates was one 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.000 of the inquiry's clearest findings, and that they contributed to 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:15.120 distrust in government, increased vaccine hesitancy, and carried profound social 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.719 and economic costs for those who could not or decided 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.040 not to get vaccinated. Now, the inquiry might not have 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.880 been charged with looking at the states, and as we know, 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.840 no premier or chief public health officer was hauled in 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.040 and questioned because the Albanese government wanted to run a 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.880 protection racket for Daniel Andrews and Anastasia Paliche. But all 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.520 of those things were done by and run. 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:38.120 By the States. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:43.200 And where are the pandemic premiers Andrews in Victoria, Palochet 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:47.800 in Queensland, Stephen Marshall in South Australia, Gladysbury, Jiclian in 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:52.240 New South Wales, Mark McGowan in Western Australia, Peter Gutween 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:53.120 in Tasmania. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.840 Where have they all been this week? 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.160 The report came out on Tuesday, so they had most 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:03.120 of Tuesday, all of Wednesday, all of Thursday. They've had 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.160 the better part of three days to say something and nothing. 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.520 I mean, we are pretty clearly owed an apology, but 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.520 they are taking us for mugs now, just as they 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.880 took us for mugs a few years ago when they 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.720 were wielding all these lockdowns and restrictions. They obviously don't 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.480 think that we're deserving of an explanation, let alone an 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.840 apology now. The only pandemic premier who has issued any 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.200 kind of apology is Dominic Perrete, who said that vaccine 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.840 mandates were wrong and that they should not have cost 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.679 people their jobs, and that he regrets implementing them when 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.600 he left parliament. These people should count themselves lucky that 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.520 they weren't hauled before this inquiry to explain themselves. But 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.160 they owe us an explanation, they owe us an apology. 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.760 For years they hid behind the health advice of Chief 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.400 Health Chief a chief Sorry health officers. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:54.680 You know stuff like this. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.760 If you are at Adelaide Oval and the ball comes 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.679 towards you, my advice to you is to duck and 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.880 just do not touch that ball. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.800 I mean remember that one seriously. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:06.360 Now. 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.200 I was critical, as were plenty of other people throughout 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.880 the pandemic, of how things were run and how there 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.440 was no basis for much of what was done. And 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.400 if you don't want to answer it as some bloke 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.240 on the telly and in the paper, sure, but an 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.200 independent report by people much more qualified than I says 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.200 you got it wrong and that it hurt people. And 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:32.119 yet they have said nothing. What a bunch of pathetic squibs. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.360 They gave up their power to bureaucrats then, and they're 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.160 running scared now. I'll have more to say on that 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.520 in my column in the Advertiser tomorrow. And of course 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.560 the worst state through all of it to was Victoria, 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.319 and I know I lived there for some of it. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.440 And as we learned a couple of weeks ago, Daniel 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.640 Andrews has been rewarded with the chairmanship of Youth Mental 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.600 Health Outfit Origin, where he'll pocket a tidy seventy five 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.359 grand a year. The man who shut all the schools 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.439 and did more to hurt youth meant mental health and 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.640 anyone else in the country basically well. Thanks to the 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.600 great work of Damon Johnston in The Australian, we saw 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.760 today that Victorians who didn't like lockdowns were called pigheaded 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.520 no at All's in an email to the outfit that 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.040 the state government was paying to do research on what 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.679 people thought of those COVID restrictions. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.200 The Department of Premier and Cabinet. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.640 Fought for eighteen months to stop that email being released, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.120 and thank goodness that Damon Johnston didn't let up. They 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.199 argued it should be kept secret because it could disclose opinion, 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.959 advice or deliberations between public servants and ministers and it 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.240 was contrary to the public interest. Now they say it 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.640 wasn't written by a public servant or a politician, despite 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.840 that being the justification for why it shouldn't be released, 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.600 and they won't say who they claim. 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:51.800 Actually wrote it. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.840 This was the arrogance of pandemic governments at the time, 0:12:55.960 --> 0:13:00.360 especially Victoria. This is what they really thought of you, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.239 you freethinking people who didn't go along with the idea 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.319 that you should be locked up twenty three hours a 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.720 day and have a curfew at night and only be 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.240 able to go five kilometers from your home and have 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.720 to wear a mask outside. And that same arrogance is 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:18.440 why Andrews and his mates won't answer the report that 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.400 came out this week. Now, the US election just days away. Now, 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.360 I hope you're excited. I know I'm certainly excited. You'd remember, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:32.400 of course, these comments yesterday from Joe Biden about Trump supporters. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.679 Only garbage I see floating down there is his quarters. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.040 Well, Trump hit back today in the best way possible 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:39.720 with a garbage truck. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.959 That's like deplorable veil. This is the deplorable vailery. And 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:46.319 I think this is worse. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:50.440 Actually, Honestly, I just love that there's some fun in 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.080 politics again. I mean, here we are in Australia, going 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.360 on about whether the PM is effectively corrupt for getting 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.320 flight upgrades, and over in the US there slinging Marden 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.920 around in garbage trucks. The content is just chef's kiss. 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.480 He then went from the truck to a rally in 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.080 Green Bay in Wisconsin, still wearing his Highvey's vest. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.800 You can't lead America if you don't love Americans. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.280 It's true. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.320 You can't be president if you hate the American people, 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:24.720 which I believe they do. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.360 Now, the problem for Harris here is that she still 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.160 has to show some kind of respect to her president. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.440 He is still her boss, don't forget. So she has 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.800 to find a way to say that she doesn't think 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.440 half the country is garbage without effectively saying that Biden 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.400 is an idiot. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.080 Now this was her attempt. I'm not sure it quite 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:45.720 hit the mark. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.640 First of all, he clarified his comments, But let me 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:56.440 be clara. I finally disagree with any criticism of people 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.320 based on who they vote for. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.640 What is it? Are you repudiating your president or not? 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:03.920 Good luck with that one. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.000 And speaking of Biden, we know he has done some 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.240 weird things. You know, he's got this thing about stiffing 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.680 people's hair, and trying to kiss people and generally being 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.640 a bit of a creep. And never forget the one 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.960 about kids stroking his legs and sitting on his lap. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.680 And by the way, you know, I sit on the 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.520 stand and it get hard. I got liner, I got 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:30.320 hairy legs, that turn that that that turn blonde in 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.600 the sun. And the kids used to come up and 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.240 reach in the pool and rub my leg down. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:36.720 So I was training that. 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:40.920 Whit's the hair come back up again and look at it. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.200 So I learned about roaches. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.000 I learned about kids jumping on my lap. 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.760 And I've loved kids jumping on my lap. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.240 I mean, blind me, Charlie. Anyway, he's added to the 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:51.160 repertoire today. 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.080 You know the old joke, I love kids, but I 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.960 couldn't eat a whole one. You might remember he gave 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:10.120 it ago a year ago. Well, he decided to have 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.880 another shot today. He had a Halloween party at the 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.720 White House and he decided to chomp on a baby 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.040 dressed as a chicken. Now forgive me, but you might 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.040 say it was a cocker. I think this was probably 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:26.040 the look he had after he realized that wasn't dinner. Meanwhile, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.920 the left in America seemed to think that if a 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.160 woman votes for Trump, it must be because she's under 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:35.480 the thumb of some controlling husband who makes her vote 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:39.000 for Trump. Noah, a woman couldn't possibly vote for Trump 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:43.040 of her own volition, could she? Women must vote for 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.040 other women. Take a look at this ad from campaign 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.320 group Vote Common Good, voiced by Julia Roberts. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.200 You're a current, honey, in the one place in America 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:58.480 where women still have a right to choose. You can 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:04.000 vote anywhere you want and no one will ever know. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.480 Did you make a rape chory? 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.760 Sheridan, Honey, remember what happens in the booth stays in 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.880 the booman for Harris Will, I. 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:20.160 Mean, what did you make the right choice? Sure? 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:20.920 Did, honey. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.520 I mean I genuinely thought that was a skit the 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.080 first time I watched it. And they may well be worried, 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.760 because in twenty twenty, married women voted for Trump over 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.320 Biden Harris fifty two to forty seven percent. I mean, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.199 as if women don't know that they can vote for 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.200 who they want, that's the point of a secret ballot, 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.040 But it goes to show you exactly what Harris and 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.840 her mates think of conservative men, that they're controlling scumbags 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.720 who forced their wives to vote a certain way, and 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.199 that conservative women mustn't really think that way. They're just 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.720 under the thumb of their awful husbands. You garbage, or 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.680 you'd some kind of domestic abuser. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:17:59.280 Apparently. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.320 Before we move on to other things, there's a great 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.440 behind the scenes documentary of the Trump campaign that's been 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.920 made by an outfit called Asha Can Studios. You can 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.680 find it on x It's called Art of the Surge. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:12.680 Take a look at this. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.439 This is Trump reacting live to Harris's address at the 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:17.800 DNC a few months ago. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:24.200 Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank thank. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.480 You, thank you, thank you. 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.760 She grazys, thank you, thank. 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:35.480 You, thank you so very much, thank you everyone, Thank 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:36.840 you everyone. 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:40.800 Thank you, thank you. I've mostly thirty five. 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:47.399 From India to California with an unshakable dream to be 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:48.639 the scientists. 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:49.800 How many people are watching? 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.760 Can you tell how many dangers and how many people 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:53.280 are watching? 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.399 She's talking about how great San Francisco was before she 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:58.280 destroyed it. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.240 What you say, d is what you get. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.919 I think it's a really good insight into how his 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:08.280 campaign is really him. It's run and directed by him. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.159 It's all the genius of Trump. I don't know that 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.480 you could say the same for Harris. Now a great 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.360 exclusive from our own Caroline Marcus. Today, the federal government 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.840 awarded a seven million dollar contract to an LGBTQ lobby 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:26.359 group for a women's cancer campaign using non gendered language. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:26.960 Take a look. 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.760 If you have a cervix, the test can save your life. 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:35.080 It's a controversial women's cancer campaign which refers to people 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.680 who have a cervix instead of women and front holes. Now, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:44.280 documents obtained under freedom of information reveal the federal government 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:48.280 awarded a contract worth seven million dollars to the lobby 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:52.280 group behind it to roll out the cervical screening campaign 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:57.080 to women across the country. Opposition Senator Claire Chandler says 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.040 taxpayers deserve to know why ACN was given the money 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:05.440 when the campaign was primarily trying to reach First Nations 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.359 and culturally diverse women. 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.240 I mean, seriously, we have lost the plot. Who actually 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.679 wants this stuff? I mean, this is what confuses me 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.040 so much when we have these cases. You know, all 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:23.520 this language like chest feeder and birthing parent and front hole. 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.560 I mean it sounds like something a kid did say 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:29.480 in the school yard, person with a cervix. I mean, 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.080 the number of people out there who must think that 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:36.200 they are actually offended by women or breastfeeding or mother 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:40.720 or whatever it is must be so minuscule, because you're talking, 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:45.280 presumably about transgender people, who are already a tiny fraction 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:46.359 of the population. 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.040 I mean, it must be a fraction of that fraction. 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:54.000 That is actually offended by terms that apply to almost 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:59.199 the whole population. A campaign aimed at women. Referring to 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:04.080 women is not exclusionary if you're a transgender man, a 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.200 a biological woman that I'm sure you can use your 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.399 brains to work out whether or not you have a 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.679 cervix and ought to be screened for cervical cancer. We 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.800 don't need to change the whole language to cater to 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.919 that tiny minority. But this is why it matters and 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:21.760 why it is it is worth bringing up every time 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.199 we see one of these examples. 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:24.560 Some people might say. 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.680 Who cares, it's just inclusive language. 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.880 You know what they mean. Well, it's not inclusive language. 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.200 It's exclusive language. 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:33.840 And deliberately so. 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.360
