WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 16 June 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:06.960 From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Hello. 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:08.799 I couldn't be feeling better. I had a long weekend. 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:10.720 Thank you so much to James Morrow for filling in 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:11.840 on Thursday night. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.800 I'm mighty excited because the mighty West Tiger's won just 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.560 keep them at like, can't keep them there. The victories 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.759 will keep piling up, and the poles are turning the 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.160 way of common sense. But most importantly, I'm here, we're chatting. 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.240 That's my favorite place to be. So let's get straight 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.120 into it now. The air cover that has been coming 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:34.920 for the Prime Minister and his cause has been not 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.680 very subtle in the past couple of weeks. In fact, 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.440 in just one newspaper outlet alone, these are the types 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.400 of cartoons which have been running against Peter Dutton. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.200 Remember when all else fails, Get Doteon, Get Dotteon, Get Dotton. 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.720 Now, of course they moved through everything to do with 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.240 the Paris stuff, and then they just come right out 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.840 and say, Ozzie Trump. I've been talking about this for 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.040 some time. The narrative, not the news. It doesn't matter 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.080 what's actually going on. It's about trying to create anything 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:09.039 but the existing power structure. As a threat to democracy. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.319 Extreme two extreme, you know all of that stuff, right. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.280 These are the people who said that the Liberal Party 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.080 did the wrong thing when it came to not backing 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:19.600 the voice ended up being where. 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:19.920 The people are. 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.160 It's been in the wrong place when it comes to 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.160 talking about immigration instead, that's where the people have been. 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.280 It's in the wrong place. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.200 Going after that, idiot Andrew Giles will guess what more 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:32.959 proof in the right place. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.959 But last week or the damn walls had broken. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.920 Remember the great detail we went in last week about 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:43.200 the Labor Party inventing the idea that the Liberal Party 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.600 was going to pull out of the Paris Climate Accord. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.800 Now was the week rolled on? Yes, the opposition came 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.720 out and said we're not going to lock ourselves into 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.480 the targets that the Labor Party said that we didn't 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.080 vote for, and if Australia makes us the government, we 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.280 wouldn't have to honor. You know, crazy stuff, right, But 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.200 goodness me, the political establishment clutching at their pearls they 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:04.640 have been. 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.600 But what about the investment opportunity aspective? It is like the 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.840 hard reality is if you had this confusion and the 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.960 companies that are putting the money into different types of energy. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.720 What happens for them in this period. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.280 Create more problems about the level of investment that is 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.000 going ahead and more confusion. And it's certainly not going 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.720 to improve prices. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.000 To be really clear, our nation has no hope of 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.360 hitting that zero by twenty fifty if we do not 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.040 have interim targets. And the people of North Sydney are 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.840 incredibly pragmatic. They understand that. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.320 Oh more about these soon to be former MP for 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.560 North Sydney in a moment or two is time now. 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:45.400 I won't lie. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.960 When I sat here a week ago and I had 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.440 read the headlines all day, I'd started to think, well, 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.880 hang on, we know that climate change a very definite 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.840 view of that under the age of fifty, there are 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.519 more voters under the age of fifty than over. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:57.480 How does this work? 0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.919 And then I've got to say, Matt Canavan, put me right, 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.000 just like you did with that Greens person by the way, 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:03.919 put me right by saying, well, hang, it's just about 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.720 right or wrong, don't overcomplicate it. 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.160 That's what their view is. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.400 Well, what about this the set of stones that it 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.280 takes for the Labor Party to now come out and 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:17.440 say that the Liberal policy of not going renewables exclusively 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.640 will there'll be too much of a cost in that transition, 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.320 the same cost of transition that they wouldn't earn up 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.200 to in twenty nineteen, and they lost an election that 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.320 they lied about in twenty twenty two. 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.120 And now Australians are noticing. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.320 That all of these extra targets they end up costing 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.400 you and I to build the relevant infrastructure instead, they 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.440 imagine it's already already been built for hundreds of billions 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.560 of dollars, almost to trillion dollars, if you will. But 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.280 we've already chosen that path and that's the way that 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.320 it goes. So Penny Wong today is out and about 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:57.280 saying Peter Dutton will increase your power bills. Yes, seriously, 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.280 the Labour Party is now arguing that the the other 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.720 guy is going to raise your power bills, when they 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.080 of course have seen power bills go up by hundreds 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.600 and hundreds and hundreds of dollars. The too little, too 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.440 late that they offer in the budget was about three 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.560 hundred dollars or twenty five dollars a month as a 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.680 credit only for twelve months. Well, the cost of transition 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.440 plays on. Yep, that's what Penny Wong's trying to get 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:21.800 people to believe today. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.320 This won't fly. This won't fly. But here we go. 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:30.080 Mister Dutton's walking away from climate action again is a 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.599 recipe for higher energy bills in Australia. And I'll come 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.880 back to that. It is also him yet again abandoning 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.440 the field in the Pacific. You know, I still get 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:47.120 when I move around the Pacific people remembering him joking 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:51.479 about climate change by talking about water lapping at the 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.880 door of Pacific nations. People still remember that. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.640 Yeah, But when the Chinese premiere is in town, as 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.600 he is right now starting in at making his way 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.000 towards Canberra, the Reagan Australia is going to mention at 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.400 all that. As we've shown to you how many times 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.920 austraightly one percent of the world's problem, China about thirty 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.599 percent of the world's problem. We're meaning those Pacific island 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.520 nations are not actually being swamped by Australia. They are 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:18.360 being swamped by the climate outputs of China, among other 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.200 nations that will continue to pollute however much they want 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.119 till twenty thirty. Now again, all of this is about 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.640 appealing to apparently everyone under age of fifty who doesn't 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:28.400 believe in God. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.160 But does believe in Gaya, who believe that we. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.039 Must ruin the earth with solar panels and wind farms to. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.360 Save the atmosphere. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.360 We're having a debate, as we had all last week, 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.560 about what percent of one percent of the world's climate emissions? 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.240 Oh no, but what about per capita? Yeah, that's not 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:45.880 how they're measured. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.599 It's not measured off population, it's measured off how much 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:54.080 is up there in Australia, one China thirty times. For 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.320 his part, Peter Dutton says that while the destination remigns 0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.800 the same, Ne's zero twenty fifty. 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.160 Now the Labor Party. 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.080 Thinks they can do it with windmills, but it doesn't 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.120 says we can do it with nuclear power. Both will 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.120 cost money to build, but one will ultimately be a 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:15.120 more reliable source of energy. And this entire week that 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:16.719 has gone and we went in chapter and verse and 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.200 we showed you how. It was a couple of lines 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.600 in an interview in the Australian newspaper last week that 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.159 got whipped up into the Paris stuff, which was apparently 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.360 a giant distraction from the government who for months has 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.320 been on the back foot, and they thought that last 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:30.480 week we were on the front. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.120 Foard and we're kicking backside. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:37.200 But Peter Dutton has nailed the fundamental issue that has 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.919 constantly been in polling in and around climate change in 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:44.640 Australia since it became a mainstream political issue in two 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:51.039 thousand and seven, ten, thirteen, sixteen, nineteen and twenty two elections, 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.360 is that Australians would like some action on climate change, 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.760 but we're not willing to pay for it, and we're 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:57.760 currently paying for. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:02.080 It and we're fully signed up to zero by twenty fifty. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.479 But if you think it's a linear progression, they will 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.320 cripple the economy. So I think we have a look 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.400 at all of that information and if there are settings 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.880 that we need to change, then we were changing. But 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.000 if it means helping families with the cost of living 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.640 crisis that labor has created. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.720 So all week hair on fire, the media bubble inside 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:30.000 the bubble, clutching its pearls, the media trying to give 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.560 cover to the Prime Minister who is constantly failing on 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.360 his central promise of doing anything about cost of living. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.680 And finally, Peter Dutton gave them the opportunity to get 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.320 into what they were going to. Only problem was, guess what. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.120 The Australian public always has a way of bursting the 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:51.320 camera bubble, and that bubble is burst tonight. The City 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.480 Morning Herald, the Age of the Brisbane Times, as well 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.960 as their Channel nine newspapers, well their version of an 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.520 opinion poll is called the Resolve Political Monitor. It was 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.160 put in place after the failures of polling in the 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.760 twenty and nineteen election that didn't quite see what you 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.800 and I saw coming at the time. So they don't 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.800 give us two party preferred, but they do go deep 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.240 on all sorts of other issues, and tonight the headline 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:21.600 is that Peter Dutton, not Anthony Albanezi, is leading right 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:22.960 now as preferred prime minister. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.280 Now again, one poll, not an election. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.720 An awful lot of people in the middle would still 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.160 trying to make their mind up. But you would think 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.240 the unelectable politician who has just come up with the 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.040 most insane idea Australia's ever heard, would be going backwards. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.160 And I know that's the Prime minister who's going backwards. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.800 This poll was in the field from Tuesday of last 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.480 week till Saturday of this weekend, meaning it was there 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.880 for the entire time and guess what happened. Labour's vote 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:56.600 went down dramatically, so they are now sitting at just 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.400 twenty eight percent primary. Now, the last election they were 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.400 able to get about thirty two percent from memory, but 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.160 that number of twenty eight percent is the lowest number 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.839 since this pole was put in place for the Labour Party. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.199 Now again it's one pole, but as part of a trend. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:18.000 Remember Newspoll told us that things were fifty fifty. This 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.360 would clearly be two party preferred in favor of the 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.080 Liberal Party. But who knows, of course, with teals and 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:24.760 their seats and all the rest of it. But this 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.040 should be the kick in the backside the Prime Minister needs, 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:31.080 firstly to sack the idiot Immigration Minister. Secondly to actually 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.120 start to understand that his cost of his transition for 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.120 his target that he passed through the Parliament with the 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.600 Greens is not working with the Australian public. Because the 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.920 Australian public is always worried about our own back pocket 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.200 and our kids' chances of ever owning a house, and 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.760 this government, while yap yap is not actually interested in 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.559 those things, and I can prove it to you again 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.920 issue by issue. Let's have a look here on economic management. 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.880 During this term Labour was in front of the coalition. 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:05.000 The coalition is now well and truly in front forty 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.240 to just twenty four percent significant number of people. In fact, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.760 the equal number of undecideds are there as well as 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.840 the government. Now, what this pole seems to have shown 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.640 is that they've stepped back from the government rather than 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.920 jumped to the opposition. But on economic management, Oh but 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.640 role Gold greatest ever? Are two surpluses in a row? 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.720 Jim Chalmers's best ever? Yeah, well, guess what polling not working? 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.080 Which party do you think performs the best when it 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.840 comes to national security? In defense forty two to twenty three. 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.679 Which party do you think performs the best when it 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.120 comes to managing the finances the Liberals forty one to 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.360 twenty six for the Labor Party. Which party do you 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.640 think performs the best when it comes to immigration? Jesus 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.280 is there a surprise there that it is thirty eight 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.600 to twenty one. The only place where the Labour Party 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.560 has and advantage, but not a particularly big one. Despite 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:00.080 the fact there was a week of extreme reactions. So 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.160 the destination is the same NED zero twenty fifty. But 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.479 how we get there and how fast. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:04.800 We get there? 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:09.400 Well, Labor is two points in front of the Liberal Party. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.600 Someone else other than the other two presumably is Greens 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:19.200 or teals, and undecided is the biggest number in the bowl. See, 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.640 I've sat here for long enough, and you have sat 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.760 there with me that every pole, every time. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.040 Tells us would we like some climate change action? 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.880 Yeah, it'd be nice, But Australians know that we're not't 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.520 a going to vacuum. Well, we are a very significant continent, 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.800 one percent of the world's problems, China thirty percent of 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.320 the world's problems. Now, by the way, despite the fact 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.840 that is the cold, hardcore data, what I've just said 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.920 to you is referred to as misinformation by climate groups 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.320 because they go for the per capita number, not the 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:51.480 how much. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.199 Do you put in the sky? 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:55.000 Some of the. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.640 Comments in this pole again is the wake up call 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.360 for the Prime Minister, the kick in the backside that 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:00.320 he should have got a. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:01.400 Long time ago. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.640 But this is the same blow who decided that an 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.719 entire year of Australian political discourse should be spent on 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.840 a yes no vote that went from sixty forty yes 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:09.839 to sixty forty no. 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:11.600 He spent four. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.480 Hundred and fifty million dollars on it, and even after 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.240 it happened to the next day trup nothing to see here, misinformation, misinformation, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.880 let's try to censor the internet. Something he still hasn't 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.559 been able to get through the Parliament and hopefully won't. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:25.040 Now. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.040 Interestingly, the people behind the pole the result of political 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.680 monitor people. They say two very important things. One, as 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.360 I said before, that's the lowest number for the Labor 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:39.240 Party since this thing has ever been published since twenty nineteen. Secondly, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.280 they ask comments of people while they are also taking 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.640 their overall views on issues, and they say that the 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:52.000 attitudes when it comes to cost of living, job security 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.959 and housing affordability is now turning from distrust to anger, 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.720 meaning people can see what we have seen a long time. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.319 Now. I take no victory LA because it's one pole. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.080 It's one pole months out from an election. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.520 If the election is about climate change, where we know 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.439 the government's going to be on sure a footing, but 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.280 if it's about cost of living, it's going to be 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:20.679 in trouble. Now they have desperately wanted interest rates to fall, 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.840 but in their budgets they keep spending money. They just 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.360 tell you it's not inflationary. Well, if it wasn't inflationary, 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.440 of course the economy could afford, if you, interest rate cuts. 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:35.400 But no, that hasn't happened by every prediction, it won't 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:40.080 happen until maybe maybe end of this year, probably mid next. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.480 Year, after a federal election. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.840 Some of the people responding to the Pole sale, there's 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.840 a lot of talk about palisine and immigration. I'm not 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.640 happy with either. Interstrates are high, prices are high. I 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.840 think it's their fault. That's really important. Labour focused on 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.559 minority groups and not everyone, as any government should be important. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.720 The current government's handling of the economy has been terrible. Again, 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.200 these are not your fellow viewers of this program. These 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.360 are people responding to a poll in the Sydney Morning Here, 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.079 all the Age and the Brisbane Times. I don't think 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.200 Labour has done a good job on immigration or housing. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.840 What were they thinking. I've traditionally voted labor, but I 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:23.560 think they're going to bankrupt us because the number one 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.360 issue in Australia is the issue that they promised to solve, 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:31.240 but they knew they couldn't. It's cost a living. Now, 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.440 there was plenty of global effects that come after the 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.200 way the world handled or mishandled the COVID nineteen pandemic. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.520 But they decided to make a campaign to become the 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.680 governor of the country by pretending everything in the economy 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.800 was Scott Morrison's fault. Well, guess what now it's Jim 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:52.239 chalmers responsibility and in my view, Jim Charmer's fault, Albanesi's responsibility, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:57.440 Albanese's fault. Let's play them on their game. In the 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.280 Australian newspaper, they have a look this weekend at a 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:05.000 pole that underlines the point that I've been trying to 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.360 make public approval for Labour's handling of cost of living. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.160 Housing initial straits has dropped ten points since the election, 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.840 Concerns about cost of living up fifteen points since the 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.320 election since the election. The importance of environment and climate change, 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.400 you know, that whole thing they were scared about last week, 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:20.920 has dropped ten points. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.680 It's the bottom of the top five issues now. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.840 Since the election, cost living has extended its lead dramatically 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.040 as the most important issue, going from sixty five points 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:30.920 at the election when we had to change the government, 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.000 to now eighty points where the government's going to try 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.000 to get hired again for another three years. The importance 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.200 of the environment has gone down by ten points, just 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:40.480 twenty nine, and as I. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.160 Say, is the bottom of all of the issues that 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.720 people care about one pole. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.800 One pole does not mean that we have hit the 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:56.920 final line that it's all over for the government. The 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.320 media is utterly invested in pretending there are no problems 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.040 with this government. They're the ones who told you, oh, 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.040 no one cares about Andrew Giles. Well, the newspaper came 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.480 out and said fifty to fifty oh cost of living. Really, 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.000 you know, government's nailed that with two little too late 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:16.680 tax cuts of or twenty six bucks a week, or 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.000 they've solved energy bills because of twenty five dollars a month. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.640 Sorry it was thirty six bucks, just in case the 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:27.600 fact checkers get involved. But we knew instinctively it's not enough. 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.320 They're going to pretend that it's enough. And because everyone 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.360 inside the bubble gets paid oh so well, and they 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.480 don't really feel the same pressures that you do, they 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.760 just want to move on to something else, like let's 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.120 have a chat about the climate wars when the actual 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:50.800 casualties are about an economy that this government has made 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:57.360 worse per capita recession for six quarters in a row. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.640 Interest rates the highest they have been in a generation. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.680 They've gone up twelve times under this government. Oh but 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.800 if it comes down ever so slightly, then everyone will 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.080 say the government's doing a great job. No they won't. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.119 You know it, I know it. The media will pretend 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.560 it is otherwise. So, just like the voice when all 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.719 the media was all one way, the public will end 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.840 up somewhere else. They'll all wake up shocked and surprised. 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.040 Let's all wait and see how the next few weeks going. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.439 Now again, one of the reasons why these people are 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.800 off with the ferries is because of the institution itself. Now, 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.280 I'm going to get in trouble for this little part 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:40.439 of the editorial. But let's see Parliament House in Canberra 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.880 and all of the people who feed into it, right, 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.119 they all love spending other people's money because literally they 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.320 don't make anything. They just clip the ticket, have clipped 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.280 the ticket the ticket. There is no ticket lift. It's 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.560 all just stub holes. There's all whole punches through the ticket. 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.399 Now the MP's they got their biggest pay rise in 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.399 a decadd So do they feel the pain. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:03.840 In your feeling? No, all of them are on two 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:04.560 hundred or more. 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.880 But then what about this bloke the Attorney General seen 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.480 here yelling at a female reporter. But remember that doesn't 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.240 matter because it's a labor guy. Well, he's decided to 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.080 give a twenty percent pay rise to one of the 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.080 nation's key public servants. The Director of Public Prosecutions at 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.920 the federal level is now going to be paid seven 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.920 hundred and ten thousand dollars. That's about two hundred grand 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.879 more than the Prime Minister. It's almost three hundred grand 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:37.719 more than the minister is paid the current salary five 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.080 hundred and ninety two thousand dollars, just above the Prime Minister. Instead, 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.280 this goes up now to seven hundred and ten thousand dollars. 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.960 She got the hike after the Attorney General, Mark Dravis 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.560 wrote to the Independent Renuneration Tribunal because you know it's 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:53.560 independent right to assist in its pay review, Meaning the 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:58.080 senior public servants almost earned double what a cabinet minister 0:18:58.240 --> 0:18:58.679 is paid. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:00.800 Lost the plot. 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:06.400 The elected officials who are already paid very well, are 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.000 having the people who give them advice or supposedly the 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.919 people who are accountable to the ministers are ruining twice 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.800 as much and they're therefore way longer than any politician. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:18.800 So they just know, in rugby league parlance, how to 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.679 slow play the ball, literally weight them out. Certainly, if 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.520 it's a conservative you actively stand in their way. But 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.280 if it's a labor person you like what they do, 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:35.240 you wave it through. Otherwise you slow plow the ball. Now, 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.359 this is the same government, by the way, think of this. 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.040 The Director of Public Prosecutions, the person who is on 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.160 the behalf of the Commonwealth government. Whenever the Commonwealth Government 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.000 takes somebody to court, they of course the person who 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.159 is bringing the charges against people. Significant job, right, But 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.479 let's have a look at the scale of moneies that 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:56.359 are being spent by this government. A speechwriter has been 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.960 hired for just two years. Six hundred thousand dollars is 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:01.600 what they are going. 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:02.159 To get paid. 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:07.560 Six hundred thousand dollars. That's for two years. This public 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:12.080 servant seven hundred and ten thousand dollars, up from almost 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.320 six hundred thousand this year. It's not the only one 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.840 the chair of the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority. I'm sure 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:24.520 a vital job gets paid a million dollars. Sorry, nine 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.119 hundred and forty seven, five hundred and ninety if you 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.560 want to go and complain to the ghost. The Australian 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.960 Public Service Commissioner is paid eight hundred and seventy nine 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.320 thousand dollars. The chair of the a trip will see, 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.240 you know, the ones who were supposedly there to tell us, 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:39.640 you know, we're going to bang heads together and bring 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:44.639 down prices because you know, the supermarkets, the petrol companies, 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:46.640 but of course nothing ever changes. 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.680 Eight hundred and twenty nine thousand dollars. 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:56.399 The Chief Executive of Services Australia, the people who, among 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.680 other things, take care of the welfare system. Seven hundred 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.679
