Speaker 1: Lately. General, welcome the late base.
Speaker 2: Well, good evening, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond coming
Speaker 3: up tonight. Incredible footage from Victoria where three blokes set
Speaker 3: fire to a nightclub, but not before setting fire to
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 2: Will show you that a little later.
Speaker 3: Plus, when we look at the papers in Townshill, they've
Speaker 3: got a new.
Speaker 2: Plan to tackle car theft.
Speaker 3: They're going to regard car theft as an addiction and
Speaker 3: treat it as such.
Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 3: And embarrassment for the Albanezy government as one of the
Speaker 3: country's largest wind turbine manufacturers stops producing.
Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that in a moment.
Speaker 3: But this week the United Nations have been holding their
Speaker 3: climate conference in Azerbaijan, and everything would be going.
Speaker 2: As you would expect.
Speaker 3: You've got chart climate chicken littles running around warning that
Speaker 3: if we don't do exactly as the government.
Speaker 2: Tells us to do, we're all doomed.
Speaker 3: You've got Pacific Island leaders running around saying Australians I
Speaker 3: have to give them money otherwise their entire countries will
Speaker 3: disappear under the ocean.
Speaker 2: And it'll be our fault.
Speaker 3: And then you've got Chris Bowen doing exactly as you'd
Speaker 3: expect Chris Bowen to do, running around throwing our money
Speaker 3: around like it's confetti. And you've got an Australian bureaucrat
Speaker 3: giving an acknowledgment of country, except there's no Indigenous people
Speaker 3: to acknowledge, and she's not even in our country.
Speaker 4: Whilst we're not on Australian lands, I'd still like to
Speaker 4: start with acknowledging the traditional owners of Australia and the
Speaker 4: Torres Strait Islands and pay my respects to their elders, past,
Speaker 4: present and emerging.
Speaker 5: So I'm going to sit down today. We've got a
Speaker 5: great panel for you.
Speaker 4: In fact, there's only two panel members and myself.
Speaker 3: So first she explains that an acknowledgment of country is
Speaker 3: not necessary, only then to do an acknowledgment of country.
Speaker 3: Thank god there were only five people in the Australian
Speaker 3: pavilion to witness this embarrassment. But does that not prove
Speaker 3: how brainwashed these people are? She says, don't really need
Speaker 3: to do this since we're not in our country, but
Speaker 3: I'm going to do it anyway.
Speaker 6: Well, well, if there's one bit of solace out of
Speaker 6: all of this. It's that she didn't get to brainwash
Speaker 6: many other people, either about four or five in that
Speaker 6: crowd there for.
Speaker 1: The great panel of two people.
Speaker 6: You know, we paid eight hundred and seventy grand for
Speaker 6: that pavilion at COP twenty nine, eight one hundred and
Speaker 6: seventy grand, and there were all of five and then
Speaker 6: six seven eight when you count the people on the stage,
Speaker 6: and when they paid for it. They said, this all
Speaker 6: came out last week. Of course, when COP twenty nine
Speaker 6: kicked off. They said, you know, it would be a
Speaker 6: home away from home for Australians who had gone to
Speaker 6: COP twenty nine, and it would be a chance to
Speaker 6: showcase all that is great about Australian industry when it
Speaker 6: comes to renewable energy. And those who wanted in managed
Speaker 6: to get welcome to country that they may well have never.
Speaker 1: Even been to. But the big problem with it, of course, apart.
Speaker 6: From the fact that it's happening in Azerbaijan, is that
Speaker 6: she's given an acknowledgment of country for the traditional owners
Speaker 6: of Australia and the Torres Strait Islands. Now, if you
Speaker 6: talk to the some four hundred odd countries that existed
Speaker 6: within the land that we call Australia before it was colonized.
Speaker 1: They would say, what the hell are you.
Speaker 6: Doing, because, of course, the point is to acknowledge the
Speaker 6: particular traditional owners of the piece of land on which
Speaker 6: you stand, of which there happen to be more than
Speaker 6: four hundred groups. So now she's just tossed them all
Speaker 6: into the one bag as though they're exactly the same thing,
Speaker 6: and said, oh, yeah, all Aboriginal people, they're all from
Speaker 6: the same mob.
Speaker 5: Well they're not.
Speaker 6: So she herself has done something that you could argue
Speaker 6: was anti indigenous, potentially racist, because she didn't acknowledge the
Speaker 6: actual traditional owners. They're all the same now apparently. I mean,
Speaker 6: it just shows how ridiculous this whole thing is.
Speaker 2: Liz, I just loved the guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw it on the video,
Speaker 3: but the guy seeing the front row as she's doing
Speaker 3: the acknowledgment of country, he grabs his phone and takes
Speaker 3: a photo.
Speaker 2: I'm going to remember this moment forever.
Speaker 7: He's probably filming it, just being like, this has got
Speaker 7: to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. But how
Speaker 7: do you like us forking out this much money.
Speaker 5: So this fifty million was for loss and damage.
Speaker 7: Pennywong said, we're responding to extreme weather and slowing onset
Speaker 7: climate events in the Pacific. Can you give us some examples?
Speaker 7: What kind of bang can we expect.
Speaker 5: For this buck? That's fifty million?
Speaker 7: But this fifty million, ladies and gentlemen, is on top
Speaker 7: of the one hundred million that we've committed to the
Speaker 7: Pacific Resilience Committee. What do they do? Do you just
Speaker 7: literally make up names for committees?
Speaker 5: And that is on top of another fifty million for.
Speaker 7: The Australia Pacific Partnership for Energy Transition. Now we'd like
Speaker 7: to assume that their purpose is in the name.
Speaker 5: But again, how are you transitioning?
Speaker 7: Since you're doing such a great job here at home
Speaker 7: in Australia with your green transition, how are we transitioning
Speaker 7: the Pacific? Exactly? That's two hundred million dollars right there.
Speaker 7: How much more do you need before we change the weather?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 5: Can we just cut to the chase? How much more
Speaker 5: do you need?
Speaker 7: Of course, you and I know that this is a
Speaker 7: bottomless pit and this has got nothing to do with
Speaker 7: changing the weather and everything to do with the massive
Speaker 7: Global Wealth Redistribution Project, that this whole thing is a
Speaker 7: trojan horse, for it drives me up the wall. Is
Speaker 7: China is China with its massive output of emissions. Are
Speaker 7: they contributing to the Pacific nations?
Speaker 5: No? When they go to Pacific nations, they're smarter. They
Speaker 5: just buy up bits.
Speaker 1: They just give.
Speaker 7: Them facilities and other things that the Pacific islanders are like,
Speaker 7: oh yeah, we want a piece of that.
Speaker 5: Only China's really buying them up.
Speaker 7: They're far more strategic. We just throw the massive wads
Speaker 7: of cash. We the taxpayer never see that ever again.
Speaker 7: We never get a receipt as to what that was
Speaker 7: spent on.
Speaker 1: And here's wong.
Speaker 7: She says, the government recognizes the profound impacts of climate
Speaker 7: change on Pacific communities, culture, livelihoods.
Speaker 5: How is how is it? Can you give us a
Speaker 5: pie chart?
Speaker 7: Can you give us anything showing the impact that it
Speaker 7: is happening on culture over there, on livelihoods over there?
Speaker 7: If they could show us, oh this many jobs are
Speaker 7: being lost due to these conditions, et cetera, and so on.
Speaker 7: But they play us for complete flogs. They do not
Speaker 7: even justify the expenditure.
Speaker 3: That the part that really stuck in my craw from
Speaker 3: Penny Wong's quote is where she talks about being responsible
Speaker 3: for the livelihoods of people in the Pacific Islands, throwing
Speaker 3: and two hundred million dollars. I just like two hundred
Speaker 3: and seventy five dollars we've forgot. I love that we've
Speaker 3: got people in this country homeless, elderly people who can't
Speaker 3: pay their power bills, and the government's worried about the
Speaker 3: livelihoods of people in the Pacific Islands. Now, I'm not
Speaker 3: saying that we shouldn't care about other people, but take
Speaker 3: care of those at home first. And when the government
Speaker 3: can't afford to do what they promised prior to the election,
Speaker 3: they shouldn't be splashing money around overseas.
Speaker 5: We will.
Speaker 6: It's be pacific about what's going on here. See, I
Speaker 6: hate it when people say pacific instead of specific.
Speaker 8: I'm sure kill Richards if he's.
Speaker 5: Watching more or less. When people say new Killah.
Speaker 7: Starts manifesting, ladies, someone is killer like.
Speaker 6: It's spelt in ucl A, New clear, it's not got
Speaker 6: him going Pacific not Pacific anyway. Having made that point
Speaker 6: to be pacific about what he's going on here, this
Speaker 6: is just blackmail money, right, because, as you said before, Liz,
Speaker 6: China goes in and gave is in debt diplomacy Belton
Speaker 6: Road where they give these Pacific nations loads and loads
Speaker 6: of money and say, oh, it's all yours.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 6: And we know at some point they'll come in and
Speaker 6: cash the check and say, actually, thank you very much,
Speaker 6: we're going to get our money back. Now, Oh you
Speaker 6: can't pay it, well, maybe there's something else you can
Speaker 6: do for us. So we're just splashing around the cash
Speaker 6: in the hopes that will somehow combat China.
Speaker 8: We ain't going to combat it.
Speaker 3: And to say because they're developing exactly, and I think
Speaker 3: they've got one of the largest militaries in the world.
Speaker 2: They've got a space station, but they're still developing.
Speaker 6: And they went to COP twenty nine asking for a
Speaker 6: billion dollars from US and other countries to be given
Speaker 6: to countries like China.
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, speaking of.
Speaker 6: Spending all this money and what happens when you don't
Speaker 6: spend it properly. North Sydney Council, now you probably know
Speaker 6: about the North Sydney Pool. If you've never been there,
Speaker 6: you would definitely have seen a photograph of it.
Speaker 8: It's right under the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
Speaker 6: It is probably the most famous pool in the country
Speaker 6: and a few years ago North Sydney Council decided, being
Speaker 6: the great landmark that it is, that it.
Speaker 8: Deserved an upgrade. Now, when they began this upgrade.
Speaker 6: It was going to be sixty four million dollars. That
Speaker 6: then blew out to ninety one point five million dollars
Speaker 6: and now they say it's going.
Speaker 8: To be one hundred and twenty two.
Speaker 6: Point two million dollars to complete an upgrade of a
Speaker 6: dam swimming pool.
Speaker 8: This has been going on since twenty twenty two. Mind
Speaker 8: you were coming up to two.
Speaker 1: Years of this.
Speaker 6: In the midst of all of that, they had to
Speaker 6: pull down the new roof frame that they put up
Speaker 6: because they discovered there were quote unquote design problems with it.
Speaker 6: When you've actually started building the thing and realized there's
Speaker 6: something wrong, then there is definitely something wrong. But of
Speaker 6: course the council now says, heck, we don't actually have
Speaker 6: the money to deal with the fact that this project
Speaker 6: has doubled in budget, So where are they going to
Speaker 6: get the money from.
Speaker 8: They're going to get it from.
Speaker 1: The poor schmacks.
Speaker 6: The rate payers of North City Knee, aren't they. The
Speaker 6: suggestion is that rates could almost double in some cases.
Speaker 6: I mean they're talking about here property rates increasing by
Speaker 6: sixty five to one hundred and eleven percent.
Speaker 8: Over the next three years.
Speaker 6: They're also going to consider selling some of their facilities
Speaker 6: to fund these works. The residents, as you can imagine,
Speaker 6: have hit the roof about this. The minimum rates in
Speaker 6: North Sydney Council. Because the cost of building a pool
Speaker 6: has gone up to one hundred and twenty two million dollars,
Speaker 6: the basic rates could go from seven hundred and fifteen
Speaker 6: bucks to thirteen.
Speaker 8: Hundred a year.
Speaker 6: The average rates at the moment are one thousand and
Speaker 6: forty that had go to one thousand, six hundred and
Speaker 6: if you're a business, you go from six thousand, seven
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty four bucks to eleven thousand, three hundred
Speaker 6: and seven all because they couldn't build a pool for
Speaker 6: less than one hundred and twenty million dollars.
Speaker 8: And actually, sorry I'm wrong, I'm saying build the pool.
Speaker 1: The pool already exists. They just starts creating it.
Speaker 6: Like what sort of pool a you're going to get
Speaker 6: for one hundred and twenty two million dollars.
Speaker 1: I expect the thing to be gold plated.
Speaker 8: If that's what they're going to handle, and.
Speaker 3: They're using bottled water, I think to fill it. But
Speaker 3: I mean their answer is to raise rates that the
Speaker 3: answer is never that they should resign. I mean, if
Speaker 3: you did something like this in the corporate sector, you
Speaker 3: would be on the gutter so fast. But somehow, if
Speaker 3: you work in government, you stay in your position. And
Speaker 3: the bureaucrats who probably performed even worse than the counselors
Speaker 3: who signed off on this. The chief financial officer of
Speaker 3: the council said that part of the problem, I can't
Speaker 3: believe this was they proceeded with the work prior to
Speaker 3: the designs being completed, and so they put a roof
Speaker 3: on this pool and then realized there were major flaws
Speaker 3: with the design. The problem was they started it without
Speaker 3: the designs having been finished in the first place, the
Speaker 3: financial officer said, and I quote, significant risks were taken
Speaker 3: and indeed were realized.
Speaker 1: No show, and where.
Speaker 5: Were you, chief financial officer?
Speaker 7: Where were you when they decided to gamble with millions
Speaker 7: and millions of rate payers dollars? I mean, isn't that
Speaker 7: your job to go. Hang on a minute, this could
Speaker 7: easily blow out. Your plans aren't even finished, and yet
Speaker 7: you're turning the sod. Can we just hit the pause
Speaker 7: button here? Don't you love paying for all three tiers
Speaker 7: of government inefficiency. It's not just local government, it's not
Speaker 7: just state government, it's not just federal government. It's all
Speaker 7: three of them, consistently saying, oh, the health service is
Speaker 7: in the toilet. We need more nurses. We can't afford
Speaker 7: to pay them more. The police are striking. This is terrible.
Speaker 7: The council's saying, we're going to have to put your
Speaker 7: rates up because we've staffed up. It's always their fault.
Speaker 7: We give them the money, we pay our taxes. We
Speaker 7: have no choice in the matter. It is their responsibility
Speaker 7: to spend it wisely.
Speaker 5: Is it that hard? Is it that hard?
Speaker 7: I've been a city councilor You've got to pore over
Speaker 7: the budget every single year, it's the most important part
Speaker 7: of the.
Speaker 5: Year, and then stay within your means. How hard is it?
Speaker 8: Remember?
Speaker 6: Oh, maybe a month ago we were laughing about the
Speaker 6: fact that the Adelaide Hills Council had come up with
Speaker 6: a deficit of four million dollars. You know, they got
Speaker 6: to the end of the year when oh heck, we
Speaker 6: spent four million dollars then we actually had in the bank.
Speaker 1: How did that happen?
Speaker 6: And we thought that was ridiculous they were doing about
Speaker 6: a project that doubles from you know, sixty odd million
Speaker 6: to one hundred and twenty odd million. The state government
Speaker 6: needs to intervene here seriously, like rate payers should not
Speaker 6: have to pay through the nose for the incompetence of
Speaker 6: counselors and staff.
Speaker 1: It's not their fault. This project has ballooned out.
Speaker 5: So I even use the jolly people.
Speaker 6: No exactly, it was probably a lot of out of
Speaker 6: towers who come in and use it. I mean they
Speaker 6: should that the state government has to go in there
Speaker 6: and either bankrupt them, tell them you insolvent, you're trading
Speaker 6: insolvent and so you've got to go or you say,
Speaker 6: the entire council and seen in an administrator. Because if
Speaker 6: that is how you are running a form of government
Speaker 6: in this country, you do not deserve to keep your job.
Speaker 6: We should not have to pay for the incompetence of
Speaker 6: idiots like this. It is plain and simple. If the
Speaker 6: state government doesn't intervene in this situation. They're asleep at
Speaker 6: the wheel. That's what the local government minister is doing.
Speaker 7: He should just be replaced with the commissioner, Like, really,
Speaker 7: the council is not.
Speaker 8: Fit for purpose.
Speaker 7: You guys didn't do your job to the tune of
Speaker 7: this many million dollars to the States now where we
Speaker 7: know that Trump's picks for his top roles have been
Speaker 7: causing eye rolls and a lot of angst, but perhaps
Speaker 7: none are more bizarre than this one education secretary. He's
Speaker 7: chosen Linda McMahon, who has no education background whatsoever, and
Speaker 7: perhaps she won't need it because, as we know, Trump
Speaker 7: has famously promised he's going to get rid of the
Speaker 7: education department at a federal level and leave it back
Speaker 7: to the states. What a great idea, if only we
Speaker 7: did the same thing here. Why do we need a
Speaker 7: federal educational department as well as each state having an
Speaker 7: educational department?
Speaker 5: Riddle me that.
Speaker 7: Well, Trump's decided he's sick of this nonsense and he's
Speaker 7: dedicated to cutting the fat in Washington. So he's chosen
Speaker 7: this woman, Linda McMahon, who hails from, of all places,
Speaker 7: the world wrestling entertainment where she has been the CEO
Speaker 7: for some years. If you don't know Linda, here's an
Speaker 7: introo believe and he's also chosen to Mehmet Oz. He
Speaker 7: was a household name in the US. He's somewhat of
Speaker 7: a celebrity. He features on TV every other week in
Speaker 7: American Households.
Speaker 5: He is in fact a.
Speaker 7: Heart surgeon, but then turned to TV celebrity giving out
Speaker 7: health advice to all in sundry on a weekly basis.
Speaker 7: Trump said that Oz will quote work closely with Robert F.
Speaker 5: Kennedy Jr. To take on the illness.
Speaker 7: Industrial complex and all the horrible chronic diseases left in
Speaker 7: its way.
Speaker 5: Kahati amen from me. If you know you know, ladies
Speaker 5: and gentlemen.
Speaker 7: This guy has come under a lot of scrutiny, with
Speaker 7: some saying that, oh, well, he's encouraged pseudo science. Well,
Speaker 7: I don't know exactly everything he's ever encouraged throughout his long,
Speaker 7: lengthy and much meddled career, but I do know that
Speaker 7: he recommended hydroxychloroquin during the pandemic, and in my book,
Speaker 7: that gets you my vote, not that I can vote,
Speaker 7: but this again, Trump is keeping in line with this
Speaker 7: I don't give a stuff as to the Washington elites
Speaker 7: opinion of my pick. I am going after everyone who
Speaker 7: has a been loyal to me.
Speaker 5: Mainly, there's a few people that he's forgiven.
Speaker 7: He is magnanimous when he wants to be, But for
Speaker 7: the most part, he's gone after those who are loyal
Speaker 7: to him and those he knows who will cut the fat.
Speaker 7: So what Mamet will be in charge of is the
Speaker 7: centers for Medicare and Medicaid services. The US government spent
Speaker 7: one point four trillion on Medicare and Medicaid in the
Speaker 7: last year alone, in twenty twenty three, that is what
Speaker 7: those departments spent. And Trump's like, I'm getting doctor Osmamet
Speaker 7: to just take a chainsaw to this thing. It's going
Speaker 7: to be so interesting what these guys come up with.
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised Trump is unconcerned by the way the
Speaker 3: media tique his nominees, because you remember how the media
Speaker 3: critiqued Joe Biden's nominees.
Speaker 2: I mean they formed over them.
Speaker 3: Rachel Levine was Assistant Health Secretary because she was trans
Speaker 3: Pete Boudages was Transport Secretary because he was openly gay.
Speaker 3: Kareeine Jean Pierre was the spokesperson at the White House,
Speaker 3: historic figure she claimed herself to be because she was black,
Speaker 3: and the lesbian.
Speaker 2: You had Sam Brinton, remember Sam Brinton, the drag queen
Speaker 2: was in charge of hopefully.
Speaker 3: Waste stealing other pe stealing luggage at the airport. You
Speaker 3: had deb Haylend, who was in cabinet because she was
Speaker 3: a Native American and at the time, now now I remember,
Speaker 3: the media are critiquing all of these people, right, well,
Speaker 3: you can't have this person as the education secretary because
Speaker 3: she once was involved in world wrestling entertainment. Well, NPR
Speaker 3: they critiqued the Biden nominees on the basis of diversity,
Speaker 3: because Biden promised, I'm going to have the most diverse
Speaker 3: cabinet America's ever seen. And so the NPR ran an
Speaker 3: article headlined, here's how his nominees stack up as a
Speaker 3: diversity cabinet, and they gave him a glowing report based
Speaker 3: on melanan and sexual preferences. So that's how they critique
Speaker 3: Biden's nominees. I think Trump is well within his rights
Speaker 3: to say I don't care what you say about my nominees.
Speaker 3: After the way you critique Biden's I'm not listening.
Speaker 6: Well, well, they could do a score on Trump's on
Speaker 6: the basis of diversity as well, but instead this time
Speaker 6: it would be on basis of diversity and sorry, thought
Speaker 6: and experience that kind of diversity, not when we're talking
Speaker 6: about race, etc. I mean, it's hard to think of
Speaker 6: a cabinet that has been more critiqued than this one
Speaker 6: from Donald Trump. I don't remember it being this heavy
Speaker 6: the first time round in twenty sixteen when he was elected.
Speaker 6: But of course it's because he has just made it
Speaker 6: very clear this time that he's going to go in
Speaker 6: and dismantle government waste and bureaucracy.
Speaker 8: And that's what they're so worried.
Speaker 6: About, that outsiders are being brought to the inside.
Speaker 8: To run the inside.
Speaker 6: I'd like they've run the outside, because of course, we've
Speaker 6: always said for ages, you know, heck, we've got to
Speaker 6: run household budgets and we've got to run business budgets.
Speaker 1: Why the hell can't the government do the same.
Speaker 6: And so you have a businessman in Donald Trump who goes, well,
Speaker 6: I'm going to go and find a bunch of people
Speaker 6: who have run business budgets and get them to come
Speaker 6: and run government departments. And I mean Linda McMahon coming
Speaker 6: from the WWE, I mean she's going to have to
Speaker 6: wrestle with a lot of bureaucrats in this job, so
Speaker 6: I think she is eminently qualified.
Speaker 5: Fort the door is just like, abolish it.
Speaker 7: Any charge of the department I want abolish on a
Speaker 7: federal level.
Speaker 6: That's been the other criticism is that these people are
Speaker 6: supposedly not qualified for the positions they've been given because
Speaker 6: they haven't necessarily worked in the sectors that they've been
Speaker 6: appointed to. But I don't know our American viewers online
Speaker 6: may find this concept a little strange.
Speaker 8: It's the same in the UK, where.
Speaker 6: Ministers are appointed from inside the government as in elected
Speaker 6: MP's who often have no experience whatsoever in the portfolio
Speaker 6: that they're appointed to, let alone any real life experience whatsoever.
Speaker 6: I mean, we have people who are ministers of health
Speaker 6: and education and everything else for the only qualification they've
Speaker 6: ever had is a university degree and then they've gone
Speaker 6: off to work in an MP's office. And we're quite
Speaker 6: happy in Australia, in the UK and every other country
Speaker 6: with a Westminster system of government to say that they
Speaker 6: should be in charge of departments. But Donald Trump goes
Speaker 6: and picks some business people and it's like, holy noly,
Speaker 6: how could we possibly let them run the department.
Speaker 3: But for the Democrats to say that Trump's picks are
Speaker 3: not qualified, I mean the Democratic nominee was not qualified
Speaker 3: to be vice president and alone president. She was a
Speaker 3: black woman. That's why she was given the gig. Let's
Speaker 3: come back, hard night.
Speaker 1: Glad Ya.
Speaker 2: Well, all right, Indian night.
Speaker 3: Galah, person of color, let's come back home to Australia.
Speaker 3: Saying historic day in Victoria. Don't take my word for it.
Speaker 3: To listen to the premiere of Victoria. Jacinta Allen. Now, sorry,
Speaker 3: we didn't mean to show you that. That's just into
Speaker 3: Ellen's inner thoughts during the press conference. Here is just
Speaker 3: to Allen herself speaking at today's press conference.
Speaker 9: Today is an historic day, an historic day for our state,
Speaker 9: for our strong Victorian community. And it's historic because we're
Speaker 9: about to embark on treaty negotiations will make our strong
Speaker 9: state even stronger, even fairer, even more equal for all Victorians.
Speaker 3: If you want to know why Victoria is embarking on
Speaker 3: a treaty, consider the fact she used the word historic
Speaker 3: three times. In six seconds in that press conference. This
Speaker 3: is all about Justina Allen having her moment in history,
Speaker 3: the same as the apology was all about Kevin Rudd's
Speaker 3: moment in history, the same as the voice was all
Speaker 3: about Anthony Albanesi trying to etch his name in the
Speaker 3: history books. Just Cinta Allen goes on in this press
Speaker 3: conference trying to explain why a treaty is so necessary
Speaker 3: for the state of Victoria. She talked on and on.
Speaker 3: None of it made much sense. He's a little bit
Speaker 3: more of what she said.
Speaker 9: We know that we need to get better outcomes, and
Speaker 9: we know the outcomes right now are not fair. They're
Speaker 9: not equal because throughout history, since colonization first peoples in
Speaker 9: this state have been excluded from opportunity.
Speaker 3: So when you boil it all down, Liz and Caleb,
Speaker 3: I come up with three things. Because I was trying
Speaker 3: to understand why does Victoria need a treaty? The number
Speaker 3: one thing she said is because we need to listen,
Speaker 3: because we get better outcomes when we listen. Now, I
Speaker 3: didn't know that you're unable to listen without a treaty
Speaker 3: first being in place. And wasn't that the whole argument
Speaker 3: with the voice that was acted by fifty four percent
Speaker 3: of Victorians. Her second argument was that, and I love
Speaker 3: it when politicians say we know that, and then they
Speaker 3: say something. They never give any evidence as to how
Speaker 3: we know. They just say, who know that exactly?
Speaker 5: We who are pushing my narrative know that.
Speaker 3: So she says, we know that overseas treaty has produced
Speaker 3: better outcomes. Well, you know, you can fly what three
Speaker 3: hours across the ditch to New Zealand, and hats the
Speaker 3: how the outcomes are going there. But her big argument
Speaker 3: seemed to be that we need equality. I'm thinking, I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure we have equality in Victoria as we do
Speaker 3: around the rest of the country. But it's equality of outcomes,
Speaker 3: particularly education, health, incarceration rates, and life spans. And this
Speaker 3: is where it doesn't matter whether it's the Voice, the treaty,
Speaker 3: or whatever you do. If you choose to live a
Speaker 3: lifestyle that embraces Indigenous culture, you can't then expect Western
Speaker 3: culture outcomes.
Speaker 2: They're two different things.
Speaker 3: And so no matter what government does, you're always going
Speaker 3: to end up with this gap. You're going to end
Speaker 3: up with division in the community. Because this whole treaty process,
Speaker 3: one of the other things.
Speaker 2: I really hate about it. It's secret. She said that
Speaker 2: it's got to be.
Speaker 3: Done hind closed doors, because it's got to be done
Speaker 3: in a culturally safe space. Well, what about the safety
Speaker 3: of Victorian taxpayers whose money will be used to pay
Speaker 3: for whatever's involved in this treaty. But she did assure
Speaker 3: Victorians we will keep you updated. I'm not sure they would.
Speaker 2: M's Pallas.
Speaker 1: Upstay.
Speaker 5: We forgotten who works for her.
Speaker 3: The whole thing is just a joke. But it's going
Speaker 3: to be historic. But it's going to be historic.
Speaker 1: You point out the example of New Zealand.
Speaker 6: Right, fly three hours over the Dutch and go and
Speaker 6: see how the treaty's going. The Treaty of way Tangi
Speaker 6: was signed in eighteen forty. Right, it's been there for
Speaker 6: a very long time, and we can see exactly how
Speaker 6: that's going today. Because we're told in Victoria and everywhere
Speaker 6: else that a treaty will solve the problems because once
Speaker 6: we have the treaty, we've made good with the indigenous
Speaker 6: people of Australia or Victoria or New South Wales or
Speaker 6: South Australia, Western Australia, wherever it might be. That this
Speaker 6: treaty is signed, and after that where we've all made
Speaker 6: good with each other and then we can all move on. Well,
Speaker 6: they signed the Treaty of way Tanging in eighteen forty
Speaker 6: in New Zealand, and right now there are motions coming
Speaker 6: up before Parliament, which is you would have seen the
Speaker 6: video of the Hark been performed in parliament, et cetera.
Speaker 6: Where the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maoris, want
Speaker 6: more rights.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter.
Speaker 6: You can go through the treaty process and so that
Speaker 6: we've now made good and made an agreement about who's
Speaker 6: got whose land and what, and we all say it's
Speaker 6: all fine now and we're all reconciled.
Speaker 8: That ain't the end of it.
Speaker 6: And that's the problem, especially when it's a secretive process
Speaker 6: as the one that is going on in Victoria, because
Speaker 6: a you don't know what's going to come out of
Speaker 6: this process right now, but you don't know what's going
Speaker 6: to come out of it further down the line. I mean,
Speaker 6: there will be little easter eggs left all through this
Speaker 6: thing that could cause trouble down the road. You cannot
Speaker 6: tell me that signing a treaty is going to fix anything.
Speaker 6: It just emboldens people. It says, well, we're open to
Speaker 6: business here to give you whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 8: Once you've got the treaty, that's not.
Speaker 1: Going to be the end of the story.
Speaker 5: And how many times have we been told this?
Speaker 7: Right, it was the vote, they got the vote, as
Speaker 7: they should.
Speaker 5: Of course, then it was sorry day. Now we've made good.
Speaker 7: Now we've made good, international national sorry day.
Speaker 5: That is. Then it was the voice.
Speaker 7: We need the voice, and that is going to make good.
Speaker 7: That is going to make good. Meanwhile, nearly every single
Speaker 7: state in the country was drawing up some form of
Speaker 7: a treaty. Queensland famously says they're going to make a
Speaker 7: treaty with every single tribe.
Speaker 5: How do you think you're going to manage that?
Speaker 7: There's well over one hundred closer to one hundred and
Speaker 7: fifty different Queenslander tribes in the state. So, if anything,
Speaker 7: Victoria has done a better job here just going we'll
Speaker 7: just have.
Speaker 5: One treaty for the state and that is that.
Speaker 7: But firstly, how dare our government do this kind of
Speaker 7: thing funded by the taxpayer secretly, so you don't know
Speaker 7: how much this is gonna cost. She's taken nothing off
Speaker 7: the table we're hearing you. They even want a say
Speaker 7: in what kids are going to be taught in school
Speaker 7: going forward, Like that's already not absolutely soaked in white
Speaker 7: gilt from a young age.
Speaker 5: Do us a favor.
Speaker 7: But also what you were saying earlier, Mac, this gets
Speaker 7: my goat every single time because when we talk about
Speaker 7: closing the gap, it doesn't have to do with opportunity.
Speaker 7: We have had equal opportunity in this country for a very,
Speaker 7: very long time. But what it is saying is you, guys,
Speaker 7: until you look like us, until your education outcomes alike ours,
Speaker 7: until your life style reflects the healthcare outcomes that we
Speaker 7: want to see in your community.
Speaker 5: It is simply, what if they just don't want to
Speaker 5: live like us?
Speaker 7: Not all of them, but some are like opting out
Speaker 7: saying no, I don't want to graduate school, spend years
Speaker 7: in Uni, rack up a hex step, spend the rest
Speaker 7: of my life at a.
Speaker 5: Desk looking into a computer in.
Speaker 7: A soulless office under fluorescent lights while the taxman takes the.
Speaker 5: Heap of my earnings. Maybe they don't want that.
Speaker 7: Maybe they don't want that. And something else that isn't
Speaker 7: being addressed is why would you choose that? When the
Speaker 7: welfare state has been so robust.
Speaker 8: For so long.
Speaker 7: What we have taught our own indigenous communities is you
Speaker 7: don't have to go to work, you don't have to
Speaker 7: live like us.
Speaker 5: And why would they when they're like.
Speaker 7: Well, hang on, my dad and his dad, they've never
Speaker 7: gone to work. The taxpayer purse looks after us and
Speaker 7: that's good enough for me, thank you very much.
Speaker 5: It has become their way of.
Speaker 7: Life, not all of them, but for a large proportion
Speaker 7: of several of the indigenous communities.
Speaker 5: And then we wonder why they don't want to change.
Speaker 3: Just look after people based on their need, not on
Speaker 3: their race. Melbourne last weekend special shout out to Andre
Speaker 3: from Coco Moon at Warndike Cafe. Watches the Late Debate
Speaker 3: every single night and.
Speaker 6: You're going to get a free coffee next day.
Speaker 3: Counting on absolutely. But I got on skybus. I know
Speaker 3: you've been on.
Speaker 2: Skybus as well.
Speaker 3: You right at the airport and then you get this
Speaker 3: acknowledgment of country and then they say, and a reminder,
Speaker 3: this land has never been seeded.
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering.
Speaker 3: If this treaty goes through and they're looking for, you know,
Speaker 3: various little things, little trinkets. Is that going to be
Speaker 3: the seeding of land?
Speaker 6: And it also goes on the skybus about how it's
Speaker 6: that the land we know is Melbourne and the land
Speaker 6: we know as Australia, as though it may not actually
Speaker 6: be so. But it's a very good point you raise,
Speaker 6: Liz about the fact that all of this stuff, whether
Speaker 6: it's treaty or the Voice or or any other way
Speaker 6: in which the left sort of deals with indigenous affairs,
Speaker 6: is that they love to complain about the awful things
Speaker 6: the white man has done, but then their responses to
Speaker 6: it are so often tainted by white man's paternalism in
Speaker 6: terms of the way that they think other people should behave.
Speaker 8: You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 6: But as long as we feel warm and fuzzy inside,
Speaker 6: that's what matters the most.
Speaker 8: Day.
Speaker 6: Now, we told you last night about Jaguar, the once
Speaker 6: great British car manufacturer.
Speaker 1: Now going down the road.
Speaker 8: I told you last night. You know that the Mark
Speaker 8: II and the XJ six, the wonderful pals they used
Speaker 8: to produce.
Speaker 6: I forgot to mention that E type. Of course, the
Speaker 6: Jaguar E type is just sex on wheels. Basically, mad
Speaker 6: of Mind's got three of them, and every time I
Speaker 6: go to his place, I just walk into the garage
Speaker 6: and drool. Basically, but we told you about their new ad,
Speaker 6: which you can see a little bit of here, which
Speaker 6: they launched yesterday on X. Basically, the idea here is, oh,
Speaker 6: we're relaunching as an entirely ev company. They're not going
Speaker 6: to have any petrol vehicles anymore. And of course in
Speaker 6: this ad they take every diversity box you could find.
Speaker 6: They've got people dressed up in weird gear and you know,
Speaker 6: there's a token black person and a weird dress and
Speaker 6: a woman with a short haircut, et cetera, because you
Speaker 6: know we're going woke. Now there's no car in there,
Speaker 6: you'll notice. And we asked the question last night, who
Speaker 6: on earth came up with that as a marketing strategy.
Speaker 8: Well we found the answer.
Speaker 6: It's a bloke called Santino Pietro santi And here he
Speaker 6: was just a month ago explaining everything that's great about Jaguar.
Speaker 1: And again you will.
Speaker 6: Notice when you listen to him talking here, he says
Speaker 6: absolutely nothing about.
Speaker 1: Cars and that Jaguar.
Speaker 10: We're passionate about our people and we're committed to fostering
Speaker 10: a diverse, inclusive, and unified culture that is representative not
Speaker 10: only of the people who use our products, but in
Speaker 10: a society in which we all live, a culture where
Speaker 10: our employees can bring their authentic selves to work. We've
Speaker 10: launched major policy revisions such as transitioning at work to
Speaker 10: drive equity and support for our communities, embracing individuality as
Speaker 10: our superpower.
Speaker 6: Oh fantastic, Yes, that's what Jaguar is now, apparently not
Speaker 6: the company of class and beauty that it once was.
Speaker 6: It's all about, oh, well, you can come to work
Speaker 6: and transis and your agenda.
Speaker 8: How good is that?
Speaker 6: And I'll note, by the way that when he was
Speaker 6: giving that speech, he was wearing a sea through top,
Speaker 6: So you know, that really tells you a lot about
Speaker 6: the quality that they've got over Jaguar these days. My grandfather,
Speaker 6: back in the day was a Jaguar man. He loved Jags.
Speaker 6: He had XJ six's, he had dameless sovereigns. He had
Speaker 6: an XJS at one point.
Speaker 1: V twelve that just does through fuel.
Speaker 8: He loved them beautiful vehicles.
Speaker 6: I can tell you you could not pay him to
Speaker 6: buy a Jaguar today the way they are going, And
Speaker 6: why would you want to buy a Jaguar the way
Speaker 6: the way they're going.
Speaker 8: This is what happens. This bloke here, what's his.
Speaker 6: Name, Santino Petrio santi is the perfect example of what
Speaker 6: happens when these people are allowed to take over corporates.
Speaker 8: And you've seen it all across the corporate world.
Speaker 6: Now where once great companies and there you go examples
Speaker 6: of the brilliance of what Jaguar could once do.
Speaker 8: They have taken over these companies and run.
Speaker 6: Them into the ground to impress their other mates in
Speaker 6: the corporate world. Who gives a damn what the consumer wants.
Speaker 6: It's oh, well, we've got to get our esg points, right.
Speaker 3: Could you imagine buying a Jaguar from Santino, You'd ask,
Speaker 3: you know, like, so, can you tell me about the engine.
Speaker 3: He'd say, well, there's fifteen diversity, equity and inclusion groups.
Speaker 3: So what's the top speed of this vehicle? He'd say,
Speaker 3: every person should be free to be themselves. He'd say,
Speaker 3: does it come with a turbo? We'd say, individuality is
Speaker 3: our superpower. Because he's not selling Jaguars, Jaguar is the
Speaker 3: vehicle for him to sell diversity, equity, inclusion and as
Speaker 3: for them caring about their customers. He actually said those
Speaker 3: angered by the reband rebrand are no longer the target market,
Speaker 3: so they're wow fitting on every person who are Radar
Speaker 3: ag you and saying we're.
Speaker 2: Done with you.
Speaker 7: Gain creta hone in on zero point five percent of
Speaker 7: the population Jaguar great marketing strategy.
Speaker 5: Absolutely incredible.
Speaker 7: But before we go to an ad break, something that
Speaker 7: is pretty incredible happening in South Australia is did you
Speaker 7: know this is the state where the police have to
Speaker 7: receive a report whenever a car crash happens, where the
Speaker 7: damages are over three thousand dollars. That's not even much nowadays.
Speaker 5: If you're no your local panel BETA.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's basically a ding in a car park. You've
Speaker 7: got to go to the police, You've got a register
Speaker 7: it there and the police are crying out for the
Speaker 7: state government to do something. Please malanowskis because this is
Speaker 7: such a waste of our resources. In a letter to
Speaker 7: the Transport Minister, Contucinantis.
Speaker 6: Time Coots and tonis what the hell did you read it?
Speaker 2: Far?
Speaker 5: Excuse me?
Speaker 7: Sorry co specific he's the Police Association president.
Speaker 5: Wade Burns wrote.
Speaker 7: There are about six hundred person in person vehicle collision
Speaker 7: reports made to the South Australian police stations on a
Speaker 7: weekly baseless side notes, South Australians, what the heck are
Speaker 7: you doing on your roads? He goes on to say,
Speaker 7: even the most basic reports take at least fifteen minutes
Speaker 7: of our time. This equates to at least one hundred
Speaker 7: and fifty police hours every single week. The requirement diverts
Speaker 7: police resources away from critical jobs such as investigating accidents
Speaker 7: with injuries, fatalities, crime investigations, domestic violence incidents and urgent
Speaker 7: response taskings.
Speaker 5: Please take this off our hands.
Speaker 7: To my knowledge, no other state has such a ridiculous
Speaker 7: law being implemented. What on earth do the police have
Speaker 7: to be That's like requiring them basically to be un
Speaker 7: scene at every crash.
Speaker 6: It's just bizarre, isn't it. There was in way Burns
Speaker 6: Leader there was the example of one police station were
Speaker 6: forty percent of their police time is taken up by
Speaker 6: people coming in to report crashes.
Speaker 8: This is just bureaucracy gone.
Speaker 3: What I don't understand about this is why is the
Speaker 3: police union or the Police association taking this up? Doesn't
Speaker 3: a police commissioner sit down? With a police minister and
Speaker 3: don't they have coffee occasionally and say.
Speaker 5: Hey, here were a couple of things with so mac.
Speaker 7: But having worked for everyone a government, it needs this way.
Speaker 6: It's because the police minister can't remember the Transport minister's name.
Speaker 1: He thinks he's koona Munder.
Speaker 5: You should go by Koda. I mean, make it make
Speaker 5: it easier for us. Tom Come on, mate, we're.
Speaker 2: Going to go to a break.
Speaker 3: When we come back to look at what's making news tomorrow,
Speaker 3: including car thieves being treated not as criminals but as addicts.
Speaker 2: That's coming up in a month. Well, welcome back.
Speaker 3: Let's look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers. Liz,
Speaker 3: you've got the Camera Times. Pretty funny story people being
Speaker 3: asked to take a.
Speaker 7: Pay cut, and believe it or not, they made the
Speaker 7: mistake of asking them whether they wouldn't take next year's
Speaker 7: pay rise, and the vast majority said get stuffed. The
Speaker 7: Camera Times. The splash reads a and U staff's no
Speaker 7: to vice chancellor. Nine out of ten staff members at
Speaker 7: the Australian National University rejected the Vice Chancellor's plea to
Speaker 7: give up their next pay rise as part of a
Speaker 7: drive to cut costs. So the an u's vice chancellor
Speaker 7: is taking a ten percent cut to her one point
Speaker 7: one five million dollar salary.
Speaker 5: So that's very big of her.
Speaker 7: But I'll wager none of your staff are on that
Speaker 7: much and so they're just not willing to take the
Speaker 7: fall with you. It says four seven hundred and eighty
Speaker 7: two staff participated.
Speaker 5: In the online ballot. Yeah, I bet they did.
Speaker 7: That's one email that you would participated. You know when
Speaker 7: your boss always sends you emails being like, respond to
Speaker 7: this survey, participate now, and you're like, nah, I get stuff.
Speaker 5: Can't be bothered.
Speaker 7: I'm not paid enough for this now that one that one.
Speaker 5: Got their attention.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you won't be paid enough if you don't
Speaker 6: respond to that. I mean, imagine having to hide on
Speaker 6: your million dollars to go off to the staff and go, look,
Speaker 6: do you reckon?
Speaker 8: You could four go.
Speaker 6: Your pay rise so you can get my budget back
Speaker 6: in the black.
Speaker 1: Click.
Speaker 6: You're the one who's running the show. Surely you can
Speaker 6: find other ways to manage your budget. Well, perhaps you
Speaker 6: could have just not let it get so big before
Speaker 6: you ended up in this position.
Speaker 3: But you know why, the vice chancellor gets the big bucks.
Speaker 3: Go because he's so positive. She says that, you know,
Speaker 3: after the survey, they'll find other ways to save money.
Speaker 3: And then she says this, every staff member who voters
Speaker 3: has helped shape the conversation about how we achieve financial sustainability. Yeah,
Speaker 3: without our help, that's how they've shaped the conversation. But
Speaker 3: she's thanked them for their great contributions.
Speaker 5: For responding to my survey.
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, Like, could you think of anyone actually
Speaker 6: voting for that, like putting there?
Speaker 2: Well, actually people do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty eight percent rejected. It's twelve per CDH. They
Speaker 1: were willing to give up.
Speaker 8: Their pay rides.
Speaker 6: I want to know who those people are, because I
Speaker 6: suspect there's someone out there who'll employ them tomorrow and
Speaker 6: never give them a pay rise. Again, Let's go to
Speaker 6: the front of the Gold Coast bulletin tomorrow, where there
Speaker 6: is one hell of a story Hump Tower. Residents of
Speaker 6: a new luxury tower in the art of Swanky Main
Speaker 6: Beach can be seen quote urinating, showering, and fornicating thanks
Speaker 6: to clear windows installed in their bathrooms. The first residence
Speaker 6: of raptist groups, Pearl Tower, moved into the Main Beach
Speaker 6: parade building in October, but neighbors soon discovered clear glass
Speaker 6: windows allowed them to see directly into the bathrooms. Now, look,
Speaker 6: I'm sure if you live in the building opposite that's
Speaker 6: been enough of an insult to your eyes to be
Speaker 6: subjected to that. But can you imagine being the poor
Speaker 6: bugger who's moved into one of these apartments, And you know,
Speaker 6: I'm assuming you're not just standing there looking up at
Speaker 6: your windows all the time, so you assume it's safe
Speaker 6: to go into the bathroom and then you discover that
Speaker 6: they actually put clear glass on it.
Speaker 7: Who wouldn't notice if I walked into a glass toilet jubicle?
Speaker 5: I don't think that would escape my attention.
Speaker 7: I mean, this is get naked, get into a shower,
Speaker 7: were and this is just sheer glass. If they can
Speaker 7: see you, if you can see them, they can see you.
Speaker 7: But they can look very very simple, but they can
Speaker 7: do like.
Speaker 6: A polarizing type thing like this glass that you can
Speaker 6: see through one side and they can't see through the other.
Speaker 5: I love this because there's a film on it.
Speaker 3: Neighbors soon discovered clear glass windows allowed them to see
Speaker 3: directly in the bathrooms.
Speaker 2: Will stop looking, that's the answer.
Speaker 5: Like their folds.
Speaker 7: They should sue for having their innocence robbed from so.
Speaker 6: You know, you know in Back to the Future where
Speaker 6: where Marty goes back to the future and then he
Speaker 6: finds his father's up the tree with the binoculars looking
Speaker 6: looking into what is his future mother's window, and then
Speaker 6: he falls out of the tree and he gets hit
Speaker 6: by the car, and that's who his parents meet.
Speaker 8: But then Marty goes up the tree and falls and
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what ends up having to meet his mother.
Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen here.
Speaker 6: There might actually be people who meet and get married
Speaker 6: in Oh my god, what.
Speaker 3: I've heard is raptors selling many units, but the neighboring.
Speaker 6: So many people through the road project protection.
Speaker 5: Happening here load of peeping toms. Who am I working with?
Speaker 1: What we're saying.
Speaker 6: Money there out of the peeping toms because they want
Speaker 6: to live over the road by one.
Speaker 5: Of the very facts. Had that occurred to.
Speaker 6: You, Max, it's just very Go to the front page.
Speaker 5: Under the overflow of the heart the Mouse.
Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of towns or bulletin.
Speaker 3: The headline reads car theft addiction Now one thousand seven
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty nine cars were stolen in Townsville last year,
Speaker 3: so it's a massive problem. Here is how they've decided
Speaker 3: to deal with it. A bold new initiative is looking
Speaker 3: to curtail the scourge of youth crime and car thefts
Speaker 3: by treating it like an addiction Spearheaded by Townsvill Street University,
Speaker 3: the program applies to principl for drug addiction treatment to
Speaker 3: early intervention in a bid to stop young offenders who
Speaker 3: are hooked on the thrill of stealing cars. I'm not
Speaker 3: quite sure how this is going to work.
Speaker 2: Do you sit a whole lot.
Speaker 5: Of cars around in a circle.
Speaker 3: They introduced themselves.
Speaker 5: Since I stole.
Speaker 2: The car exactly.
Speaker 3: I think to stick them in jail and throw away
Speaker 3: the key rather have a therapy session.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: I know that they're sort of running out of ideas
Speaker 6: because things just keep getting worse. But as you say, like,
Speaker 6: how about actually getting the coppers on the job and
Speaker 6: actually doing something about these kids? Like, you know, I
Speaker 6: get the idea that early intervention is important because you
Speaker 6: want to stop these kids after the first car they've
Speaker 6: stolen from ever stealing another car. You want to put
Speaker 6: them on the straight and narrow on the right path,
Speaker 6: but treating it like it is an addiction, as though
Speaker 6: it's a softly softly I will you got to come
Speaker 6: for a session next week.
Speaker 8: So have you fallen off the wagon this week? Little Johnny?
Speaker 8: Who stole in any cars this week?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 6: Seriously, that ain't going to do anything. Give the kids
Speaker 6: some tough love, that's what they are.
Speaker 7: And it also suggests calling it an addiction also suggests
Speaker 7: they can't help it, yes, which is just nonsense to.
Speaker 1: The odds now labor blame.
Speaker 5: Does Wind Company blown away?
Speaker 7: Mainland Australia's last wind tower manufacturer will be forced to
Speaker 7: mothball its plant in a major embarrassment for the Albanesi
Speaker 7: government after cheap imports using heavy polluting Chinese steel have
Speaker 7: destroyed the local industry and cast a shadow over Labour's
Speaker 7: domestic renewables policy. How many shadows before we just call
Speaker 7: this an outright blackout, ladies and gentlemen, How many times
Speaker 7: do we have to learn about the downfalls of one
Speaker 7: of these projects until you're just like, Okay, you guys
Speaker 7: are never going to admit that this simply isn't feasible anymore.
Speaker 6: Nana, But it's all about helping the environment. Liz, come on,
Speaker 6: can't ye?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we head out China still.
Speaker 6: Sending our cold of China so they can burn it
Speaker 6: to make it into turbines to send over to us
Speaker 6: with steel, with iron, all that we've sent over to
Speaker 6: them that they make that's bad for the planet. That's
Speaker 6: going to save the planet. Why can't you see that?
Speaker 3: And going absolutely perfectly. We're going to go to a
Speaker 3: break when we come back. Incredible footage from Melbourne where
Speaker 3: some guys set fire to a nightclub, but not before
Speaker 3: setting fire to themselves.
Speaker 2: That's coming up from.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, all right, Kelly, You've got some very ineptarists
Speaker 3: down in Melbourne at the moment.
Speaker 8: This is amazing.
Speaker 6: These dopes have toddled along to Lux Nightclub on Chapel
Speaker 6: Street in Melbourne, and as you can see here, they
Speaker 6: don't know exactly why they've targeted this place. But he
Speaker 6: walks out having tried to set the joint on fire,
Speaker 6: on fire himself.
Speaker 8: What a brainiac key is. And his mate still got
Speaker 8: the kerry tan full.
Speaker 6: Of hill fire and he's like, no, I'm going to
Speaker 6: finish the job.
Speaker 1: I'm going to finish the job here and Matsy really.
Speaker 6: Set the joint on I mean seriously. Now, now I
Speaker 6: haven't been to Lux nightclub. I've been to Reb's Revolver,
Speaker 6: just up the road on Chapel Street.
Speaker 8: There it's basically twenty four hours. It's a hell of
Speaker 8: a place.
Speaker 2: I have to tell you.
Speaker 6: Chapel Street of a nighttime two am, this was this happened.
Speaker 6: But I mean, how could you be so aggrieved by
Speaker 6: a nightclub that you want to set the joint on fire.
Speaker 1: But they're hardly the greatest.
Speaker 6: Criminals that Melbourne's ever produced. Melbourne is known for, you know,
Speaker 6: top level criminals. I don't think they're going to make
Speaker 6: the list.
Speaker 3: A guy with the jerrykad he's just everywhere everyone gets
Speaker 3: out to near his car and.
Speaker 5: His mate is literally on the drop and roll.
Speaker 7: Made or trying to hit him with your jackead or
Speaker 7: oh that's your life.
Speaker 5: Nah.
Speaker 7: His maid's running around literally in flames, and he's.
Speaker 5: Just like, oh, I got a job to do the background.
Speaker 7: I reckon they're inebriated. That's why they're so highly flammable,
Speaker 7: and that's why they don't seem to have a clue
Speaker 7: what they're doing.
Speaker 3: Maybe don't we go let's talk about the Church of England.
Speaker 3: Sunday attendances have been dwindling, so Saint Peter's at Bradford
Speaker 3: have come up with a novel way to get the
