Look, 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.600 let's start with the pro Palestine rallies planned in parts 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.160 of the country, of course, on the twelvemonth anniversary of 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.280 the October seven massacre. Now New South Wales police are 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.319 applying to the New South Wales Supreme Court to prevent 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.319 the event, but have to listen to the Prime Minister's 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:27.360 response to these planned demonstrations versus Peter Dutton's response, and. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:32.440 So October seven, I think is not a time for 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:40.919 demonstrations to occur because it will be perceived as, whether 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:46.200 that's the intention or not, as being a something that 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:53.040 is less than an appropriate commemoration of the atrocity that 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.600 occurred on October seven. 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.160 To see preparations in place to celebrate the universe of 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.760 twelve hundred people being slaughtered, including pregnant women, some of 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.520 whom are still held in a tunnel network in Gaza. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.680 It has no place in our society. The government should 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.280 be doing everything they can to stop these protests from 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:14.919 taking place. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.080 Prou Once again, the Prime Minister has shown how weak 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.000 he is on this matter. 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.480 And what we're all witnessing. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.720 The Australian people are witnessing a betrayal, betrayal of them 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.480 and their values. He's selling them out for votes and 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:32.480 we all know it. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.600 And you would think that the. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.400 Lights had come on in his head about this, because 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.760 this is much bigger than Muslim votes in certain seats. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.840 This is betraying Australia, it's selling out Israel. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.720 It is the only. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.800 Democracy in the Middle East and an ally of ours, 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:56.960 and I justxtapose. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.600 What he's done his reaction with Dutton's. 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.440 Dutton has come into his own as a leader, and 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.760 what we want in these times is strength and Dutton 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.120 is showing that and he's doing himself so much good 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.120 in terms of changing people's minds about him. And you 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.680 look at Albanesi and all he's doing is reinforcing how 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:20.360 strong Dutton is. And it's very, very sad, but I 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.839 just can't see Albanesi coming back from this. It's sad 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.280 for Albanesi, but it's particularly sad for this country because 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.240 we have really betrayed an ally and we're looking so 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.040 ridiculous with Wong on the world stay at the end, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.800 I mean, she makes a mockery of Australia and it's 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.360 really really distressing. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.520 No wonder she hasn't come back yet. She must be hiding, because. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.160 Boy, I'd be so embarrassed to walk through those international 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:47.880 border gates. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.560 She should be ashamed of us you know comments and 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.560 also the Prime Minister today. He also gave a wishy 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.480 washy response when asked about Israel's ground invasion of Lebanon. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.520 Of course, after Iran held at Israel with missiles, do. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.040 Thing Israel have the right to send troops into Lebanon. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.640 What we want to do is to reiterate the call 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.080 that we have. Israel, of course has a right to 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:17.799 defend itself. What we have called for consistently is for 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:23.919 a de escalation. Diplomacy, however, cannot succeed amid an escalation 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:25.520 of this conflict. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.640 Once again, prove he walks both lines. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:29.560 He can't give you a. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.120 Straightened, firm answer and say no, we're standing up to terrorism. 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.320 It's I want to appease this member of the community, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:36.560 but I want to appease this member. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.360 It is so weak. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.920 It's a man in pain because he must be. 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.920 I don't know who sleeps at night, because he must, 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.480 in his heart of hearts, know that what he's doing 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.120 is wrong. But you know, he's always been a strong 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:56.120 labor man. And the party comes before everybody, including Australians, 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.160 and we have the situation where you know, the guy 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.719 has total sold us out sold all. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.520 Australians out as far as I'm concerned. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.159 And you know, he's earned that title of each way 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.200 but we all laugh about it, but this is something 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:15.000 he's earned, he's made a practice of and it's just 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.239 really tragic to see that this guy is in charge 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.560 of this country at this important time. This is an 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.720 era of danger and we all know that we're all 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.120 on a precipice. And when you've got someone like this 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:28.839 leading you, you've got to worry, haven't you. 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.919 Ahaps, We're a global embarrassment the way that we're the 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.080 leaders in this country are carrying on now. Look, the 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.840 ABC has distanced itself from an exchange between a reporter 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.479 and Opposition leader Peter Dutton after she asked him to 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:46.760 explain why Hesbela was a terrorist organization and Israeli flags 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:47.600 were not banned? 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:49.239 What sorry? 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:50.560 What determined? 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.920 Even though where are you from? 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:55.479 I'm sorry? 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.160 Which organization? ABC? 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:00.200 Now? 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.520 The ABC has responded saying questions at a press conference 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.799 today were not a piece of reporting nor a position 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.680 being taken by the ABC. HESBLA is a listed terrorist 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:15.080 organization by the Australian government and the ABC recognizes that 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:16.400 in its coverage. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:16.920 Prue. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.680 Look, I thought the question was very off. It was 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.920 a ridiculous question to be asking. But what do you 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.839 make of the ABC basically disowning its reporter there, Well. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.279 They're taking a position themselves, and she was she was 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.680 refuting the fact or questioning where there's Bala was a 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.520 terrorist organization and she wants taking a position and the 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.880 ABC is taking a position on that particular thing, so 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.359 you know, throwing her under the bus, disowning her. But 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.560 the ABC is in denial. We know that about everything. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.800 We saw Kim William's ridiculous speech about fake news when 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.560 they've got this inquiry by of course a next ABC mate, 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.440 so we know what the outcome is going to be 0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:59.720 of that inquiry. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.120 So good on Dutton. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.520 He put her in a place the ABC's credibility is 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.200 down the toilet yet again another example of that, and 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.640 really they need to take a hard look at themselves 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.679 because we're all just saying get it to the stage 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.400 where it's just you know, you pay for view, because 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.600 we shouldn't be subsidizing these people. They have proven they're 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.120 not to be trusted and they have a position and 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.320 it's very off with what there out of step with 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:26.640 what the rest of Australia is. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.560 I completely agree the ABC has been a disgrace, particularly 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.240 on this coverage of Middle East conflict. 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:32.960 Well, look, Chris Bowen. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.160 Is in damage control after a new US government report 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.679 found generation and transmission system costs would be thirty seven 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.600 percent cheaper when renewables and storage were combined. We'd wait 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:49.360 for it, nuclear compared to our renewables and storage only approach. 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.840 Pro realistically, how can Chris Bowen just keep going on 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:54.520 and not about renewables. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.000 He is losing it every turn, But. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.760 He's so brazen. I mean, the game's been up for 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.680 so long, hasn't it. The guy fantasizes and what he's doing. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.200 I mean he keeps hammering Dutton because we haven't he 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.720 hasn't released the nuclear costs. Well, we still don't know 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.280 what the costs of the renewables fantasy. Fantasy is that 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:21.080 and obsession that Bowen has And we've seen now overseas 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.240 virtually every country that is in the OECD now is 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.840 going nuclear. This report really reinforces the fact that you 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:35.079 can do both, but realistically we have to start talking 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.200 nuclear and we have to. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.240 Australia is such a backward country. 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.400 Here we are, we still have it that we can't 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.680 even talk about it or discuss the fact that it 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.320 should be part of it all. So I just think 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.000 that really, you know, hopefully Bowen's now seeing the. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:50.800 Writing on the wall. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.160 Let's hope he's so compromised that he's going to have 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.040 to really change his tomb. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.480 But he's gone so far. I don't see how he 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.480 can come back from it. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:08:59.199 Well, look, he can't. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.600 The thing is, our prices are going up in this country, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.000 and we were told, hey, with renewables, don't worry, it's going. 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.800 To go down. It's gone in the other direction. So 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.400 you can't keep peddling this mess. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.640 Now to the financial behemoth, of course, that is the 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.280 National Disability Insurance Scheme, and it has been forced to 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.520 publish a list of banned therapies and lifetiles lifestyle expenses 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:23.200 as those rules continue to climb. That includes cuddle therapy, vapes, 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:29.360 dating services, concert tickets, clairvoyance, hypnotherapy, reiki, and shamanic healing. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:34.160 I mean true, Well, look, let's be honest. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.800 The NDIS was designed for the most severely disabled, right, 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.160 and there are people who survive off it. But when 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.839 you shamanic healing, Clare Boyance, tarot card reading. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.240 It's just out of control. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.880 Well, you know, Bill Shorten and Gillard were the architects 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.200 of this. You know, it was twenty ten, it was 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.200 you know, espoused, and I think it started. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:56.120 Just shortly after. 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:01.440 You would think that a competent, professional government would have 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:05.600 a list that they the people could model it on 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.080 and know that these are the parameters we've set. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:09.520 But clearly not. 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.520 It was open slather whatever you felt like, go your hardest. 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.240 You know, it's not our money, and we've got a 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.359 bottomless pit, and so you know, I just find it ironic. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.920 And everybody's saying how good Bill Shorten is, and certainly 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.600 Alban Easy does make him. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.440 Look like a genius. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.319 But at the same time, I mean, Shorten has been 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.319 in charge of this for so long. If he's only 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.280 now just compiling this list of no nos, then that's 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.240 an insult. You know, No wonder the rawters are making 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.840 millions of dollars out of it, and frankly, not many 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.240 of us have confidence in this thing anymore because it's 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.319 just been rush ahead typical labor, where they have this 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.719 great idea, they rush it forward. They wanted to make 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.800 sure they got you know, votes on it that election, 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.960 and there was no proper modeling done and checks and 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.120 balances put in place. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.920 Yeah, a complete raw, a completely roll clairvoyance and Tarot 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.040 cards were going to say extraordinary. Now the WikiLeaks found 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.959 a Julian Assange has broken his silence since his released 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.920 warning that freedom of expression was now at a dark crossroads. 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:12.880 He's told the. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.520 Counsel of Europe, I am not free today because the 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.359 system worked. I am free today after years of incarceration 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:21.679 because I pleaded guilty to journalism. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.160 Assange is not a hero in my books. 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.520 You know, I can understand what he's trying to say 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.320 about the point of freedom of expression being under threat, 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.560 but he's not a journalist. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.360 What do you think, Well. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.880 This is the interesting thing, because if he was a journalist, 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.560 there are journalist in me. Says, well, if you were 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.160 given a hot story like that, it would be very 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.480 hard not to run it. But as we know, what 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:52.000 it did was embarrassed rather than compromise America. We also 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.440 know though, that there are a lot of people who 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.160 were damaged by it and put at great risk because 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:03.320 they were informers and their names were revealed, so you know, 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.480 he's not my hero. I didn't really care if he 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.640 went to America because while I understand why he did 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.440 it as a journalist, you know, we understand that would 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.040 have been too good to not run. I think when 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.800 nationalist security is at stake, then I think that there 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.480 are some parameters that should be observed, and he didn't 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:24.160 observe them. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.120 Yeah, I completely I completely agree. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:30.320 Now, look, Jen z Ossies are so afraid at job interviews. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.160 They are taking their parents with them. Would you believe 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:33.800 their parents? 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.880 A specialist recruiter has told The Daily Mail many suffer 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.240 a crippling fear of picking up the phone to speak 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:45.120 to an employer or going to an interview alone. Week 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.120 generation mom and dad need to come along, hold their hands. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.600 They can't do anything by themselves. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:54.120 Where is the world heading to when this they aren't well, 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.520 these people are going to be running the country. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:57.800 I'll be dead. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.640 But when you think about it, they have been molly 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.520 coddled since they were little children. They had helicopter parents, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.599 they had snow flaky sort of situations where everyone was 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.640 a winner, no one could be failed, no wonder, and 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.400 then of course you're put in the COVID stuff where 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.120 there was a lot of anxiety and I understand that. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.720 Plus I've been told the world's going to win, so 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.040 they must all go to bed in the fetal position, 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.800 sucking their thumbs and wondering. You know, his mummy put 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.520 my clothes out for me to decide what I'm going 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:29.520 to wear tomorrow. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.080 I mean, but would you want to employ any of 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:32.520 this lot? 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.480 If you need to drag your mother along to an interview, 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.920 you know that would be enough for me to say. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.360 Sorry, love, you know you're not going to get harder, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:41.600 you aren't getting the job. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.400 But it is a real worry that you know parents 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.520 need to It is the baby boomers mainly need to 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.360 take a strong, hard look at themselves because if they're 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.480 breeding a generation of people who are so insecure, so inept, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.480 then we have got big problems and they should be 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:58.440 ashamed of themselves. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.240 Absolutely, as you said, the next generation of leaders, they 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:02.400 can't even pick up the phone. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.960 Primixsweet, great to see you, Thank you for having you 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:05.640 on this evening. 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:06.480 Well. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.800 Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is launching a new memoir, Unleashed, 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.560 and from the released exerts, it sounds like he is 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.920 unleashing on everyone. The reviews are scathing already. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:22.320 The time says Johnson is a gossipy bitch. 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.840 Joining me now from London is Spiked Online editor Tom Slater, Tom, 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.880 good to see you, thanks for joining us. Look, my 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.400 favorite part so far was his claim that he was 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.920 assassinated by Reshie Sunac, like when Brutus killed Caesar, when, 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.760 of course, mister Sunac attempted to oust him by resigning 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.640 from his cabinet back in twenty twenty two. He writes, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:46.080 as I read his resignation letter with its heavy phrasing, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.680 I murmured, at least inwardly, the dying words of Julius 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.600 Caesar Kai sun Tech, non you two child. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:53.560 If Caesar was. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.720 Stabbed twenty three times by his assassins, I ended up 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.520 with sixty two as a title of sixty ministers followed and. 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:01.920 Rishi out the door. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:02.800 Tom. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.800 I've got to say it all sounds very dramatic. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.080 Owen it was, And you know, Boris Johnson is nothing 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.280 if not dramatic, loves a classical metaphor. And you know 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.360 it's fair to say that Rishi soon at many other 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.800 people in his party, certainly plumbs the knife in when 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.320 they all resign en Mass to oust Boris Johnson, and 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.880 they've been living with the consequences of that ever since. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.640 I mean, Rishie Sunak in the last election steered the 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.960 Conservative Party to its worst ever electoral defeat. Boris Johnson 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:31.880 has his fair share of the blame for bringing that about. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.720 At the same time, the way in which they got 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.040 rid of the guy who actually had a democratic man, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.560 they I think left the righting on the wall for 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.960 them to be honest in terms of everything that's happened since. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:41.960 Yeah, absolutely, it's a really fair point. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.720 He's also claimed in this memoir that Queen Elizabeth was 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.680 battling bone cancer before her death. Tom, the royal family 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.400 is notoriously private. How would they feel about this being 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:54.480 revealed to the world. 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.760 Well, in terms of some sources around the palace, there 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.120 seems some displeasure at this being put in the book. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.320 That being said, it has already been mentioning. A couple 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.960 of other books which have been published recently, one a 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:13.640 biography of Princess Kate, another one a book about the 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.440 Queen herself by a famous Tory MP, had also made 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.120 reference to this particular fact. But as you say, it's 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:22.840 one of those things where because the Queen had kept 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.760 it so private during the final months of her life, 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.400 even up until the point of her being at the 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.240 Jubilee suffering with the effects of bone cancer but not 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.880 letting onto anyone. Just discussing it too openly is something 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.440 which has clearly kind of put people's nose out of 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.240 joint effectively. It's not that this wasn't necessarily out there 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.400 in the public domain, by I guess, drawing more attention 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.840 to it as a big release like this would has, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.160 understandably I suppose, caused some consternation in the Palace. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:50.720 Yeah. Absolutely. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.840 Now, look, the UK is about to stop producing any 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.800 electricity from burning coal, ending its one hundred and forty 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.400 two year alliance on fossil fuel. But at the same time, 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.879 new UK government figures show that the UK has the 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:09.639 highest power prices in the developed world. So Tom, you know, 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.040 prices are high in the UK, But how will the 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:13.800 country go with no coal? 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:18.000 Now, absolutely, I think those two facts are not unrelated. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.000 And we're going to become the first country to completely 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:26.200 abandon coal source of energy, closing our last remaining coal 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.240 fire power plant. We're also in the midst of closing 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.479 our last steel works We're in the midst of closing 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.399 down our largest oil refinery in the North in Scotland, 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.719 and I think it's a reminder that this is a 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.879 tremendous act really of sort of self harmed. This is 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.879 the nation that gave the world the Industrial Revolution, and 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:49.359 yet we're running headlong into this net zero fantasy, which 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.920 seems to think that rather than going for those sources 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.159 of plentiful, reliable energy that we've got from fossil fuels, 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:59.160 we now want unreliable and increasingly kind of scarce forms 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.800 of energy production in the form of renewables. And I 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.200 think it's a great shame, of course, if we could 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.520 gain all of the benefits from the supposedly green technologies 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.080 that we did from previous forms of fossil fuels, who 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.520 would be against it. But as we all know, pursuing 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.080 the policies that we've been pursuing as Gott's has got 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.200 us to this point where British businesses are paying more 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.320 money for their energy than any other country in the 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.400 developed world. We know those two things are related. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.040 Yeah, absolutely, and it's happening here in Australia. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.399 It's a pipe fantasy to go full renewaballs by a 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.439 certain date and it's just not shaping up. 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:32.680 But that's ever going to happen. Now. Look, let's talk 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.200 about the freebie. 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:38.639 Scandal engulfing Keir Starmer gives to the Prime Minister skyrocketed 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.840 from nine hundred to over one hundred thousand pounds, which 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.399 is about one hundred and ninety two thousand Australian dollars 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:49.240 as he was lavished with hospitality ahead of his election victory. 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.200 Tom, what's going on here? What's been the fallout? 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:58.320 It's really dogged this government which looks as scandal ridden 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.720 and as exposed as if it had in power for 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.320 four or five years by this particular point. As you said, 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.359 there's been all these scandals about freeb's, everything from Taylor 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:10.240 Swift tickets to Kirstarmer being bought thousands and thousands of 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.800 pounds worth of clothes and glasses by a labor lord 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.080 Ali who has been behind many of these particular scandals. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.960 Kirstarmer since twenty nineteen has been in receipt of more 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.520 presence donations you name it, than any other MP in 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.399 Parliament and it's not even close. He's got more than 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.359 double the person in second place, and that person also 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.160 happens to be a labor front bencher. So that's that 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.640 whiff of sneak of sleeves, I should say, is very 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.560 much around this government. And I think these things wouldn't 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.720 have dogged them so nearly the degree that they have 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.800 if it wasn't for the fact that Kirstarmer in recent 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.840 years has really acted as a kind of pearl clutching politician. 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.000 Anything the Tories did, it was the greatest scandal of 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.480 all time. Anything that happened, it was proof of Tory 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.200 corruption in sleeves and now it's come back to bite 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:57.800 them in a terrible way. But I think anyone could 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:58.560 have seen that company. 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.600 Yeah, very clear, but gee, that's an extraordinary amount of 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:03.800 money to be spending. 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:05.920 Tom Slater, good to have you on. Thank you so 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:07.240 much for joining us on the show. 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.760 Still to come, Lefties Losing It and Army Horowitz will 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.159 join me to break down the best and worst bits 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:17.720 from the vice presidential debate. 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:18.359
