WEBVTT - Danica De Giorgio | 15 February 0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:04.720 Why on Sky News Australia. 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.280 This is de Nika di Georgio. 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:10.240 Hello and welcome to the show. 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.520 Coming up tonight, Labour's weekend of memes, jokes and gaffes. 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:16.760 Thank goodness, the Liberal Party has sorted out its leadership woes. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:21.240 It's time to hold this government to account. LMPMP Garth 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.000 Hamilton is coming up. The Prime Minister sympathizes with the 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.960 praying muslim men who defied a New South Wales police 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.440 order before being moved on. I'll chat to Alex Ripchin 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.760 about this latest attempt to win over the Muslim vote, 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.480 and I'll catch up with Reform UK's candidate for London Mayor, 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.279 Laila Cunningham, wants to. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.159 Boot out the woke and woeful Sadiq. 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:48.360 Khan, but first tonight, whoever said diversity was our strength? 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.880 The Daily Telegraph is reporting fourteen children in New South 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.640 Wales have been subjected to suspected forced marriages in the 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:57.880 past financial year. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:00:58.680 Now. 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:03.240 Some of these are claims of unofficial ceremonies conducted by Islamic. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.360 Clerics in backyards. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.560 The Sunday Telegraph has obtained exclusive data under freedom of 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.880 information laws. It found underaged forced marriages in New South 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.880 Wales reported to the Department of Communities and Justice child 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.880 Protection hotline between twenty twenty four to twenty five have 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.119 almost doubled in the past financial year. There have been 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.600 one hundred and seventeen reports recorded since twenty eighteen nineteen. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.120 Last year, fourteen children were suspected of being forced to marry, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.760 up from eight the financial year prior. And yet we 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:44.319 are supposed to believe that multiculturalism is working now we 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.520 have imported these problems into the country. A government source 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.800 told the paper they were aware of some Islamic only 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.280 marriages conducted by Muslim celebrants, mostly in the western suburbs 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.720 of Sydney, which are not legally registered. They said, I 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.279 feel fe confident in saying that there are a small 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.080 number of weddings organized by a girl's family taking place 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.680 in parts of Sydney within hardline conservative Islamic communities. 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.480 There are many marriages. 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.000 That wouldn't come up on the government's radar because they're 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.680 not official marriages and they are not registered. This of 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.280 course makes it harder for authorities to investigate as it's 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:23.799 heavily underreported. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.000 So how many more are there? And the reality is 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.480 we don't know, we don't know how fast spread this is. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.359 These figures pertain to New South Wales, so who's to 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.400 say it's not happening elsewhere in the country. Now, this 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.519 is child abuse and many of these young girls would 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.320 be terrified to even speak out. And this is not new, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.280 especially in Sydney. It's just gotten worse. This was in 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:51.239 twenty seventeen. 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.920 This child is just fourteen years old and is about 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.960 to be married to a man twenty years her senior. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.800 In a tiny room hidden at the back of a 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:06.720 suburban mosque. This shy teenager, dressed in a light blue headscarf, 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.360 sits anxiously. She's known the man she's about to marry 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:11.880 for just a few days. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:12.720 Send you. 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.320 The groom is paid for the underage girl, handing over 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.919 a fourteen hundred and eighty dollars gold necklace in exchange 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.600 for his bride. While the girl's mother watches on. She's 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:24.960 given her full blessing. 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.200 Now imagine how terrified that child would have been and 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.800 mum gives the blessing seemingly under the banner of Islam. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.920 The latest AFP national data shows there were one hundred 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.800 and eighteen reports of forced marriage in the twenty twenty 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.880 four to twenty five financial year in Australia. That's up 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.440 from ninety one reports from the previous financial year. Not 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.320 just in backyards, but being forcibly taken overseas to get 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.560 married and then come back. And once again there's a 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.760 common denominator in all of this immigration. If this is 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.720 not get another rallying cry to fix what is a 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.160 broken system, then I don't know what is. We cannot 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:11.800 bring people into this country whose values and cultures are incompatible. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:11.640 With our own. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.840 New Liberal leader Angus Taylor said today that he doesn't 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.960 want a discriminatory immigration policy and that goes the same 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.320 for successive governments. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:21.760 That's always been the case. 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.720 But I think that this is exactly what we need, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:31.120 and that includes people whose cultures have sex of radical Islam. 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.520 And that's not being racist. It's about identifying the key threats. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.400 Just last year, a Muslim cleric in Western Sydney pushed 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.480 for sharia law in Australia. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.000 We forget that there is a studio of a lost 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:54.480 panel TLA waiting to be established. We forget that every 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:59.720 single day that we live without the studio studio of 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:10.520 a we are being dishonored. We're being belittled. The blood 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:11.880 of the Muslims have become cheap. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.520 We've got a glimpse this week of Muslim men at 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.320 Monday's anti Israel and Anti Australia rally when they defied 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.240 a move on notice and got on the ground and 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.800 started praying. They knew exactly what they were doing, and 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:30.400 in my opinion, that was a weaponization of religion. Yet 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.679 Labor has kept the welcome matt firmly open. It granted 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.400 three thousand visitor visas to Gazans with little to no 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.920 security checks. It welcomed back the Isis brides, and guess 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.080 what the brides are back for. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:42.960 More Isis brides. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.720 Still being held in northern Syria have applied for Australian 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.200 passports in an effort to return home. At least ten 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.080 women and children who were in Syrian camps have lodged applications. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.080 So clearly the g Hardy romance didn't quite turn out 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.000 as expected. But who are we letting in? And who 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.240 have we let in? And just on those reports of 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.719 forced Islamic marriages, I have to ask where are the 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:12.440 so called feminists, the same men hating left who champion 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:13.400 the Me Too movement? 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:14.520 Where are they now? 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.840 What are their thoughts on the way some Muslim men 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.960 treat and depress underage girls. The misogyny that exists in 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:27.680 parts of Islam is astounding. Where is our Australian of 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.960 the Year, Grace Tame. I mean, she's been silent on 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.520 the plight of Jewish women and the rape of Jewish women? 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.839 What about backyard marriages? Is that something she cares to 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:36.479 comment on? 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:37.680 Or is she too. 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:43.040 Busy disgracing herself from Gadagil to Gaza. The brave feminist 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.440 warriors love to rail all sorts of trivial nonsense, but 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.800 not issues like child marriage and mass rape of Jews. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.480 There are reports of around eighty five Sharia councils operating 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.480 in Britain. Let this be a warning to us diversity 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.000 is not our st. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.080 Well. Thank goodness, the. 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.080 Liberal Party has resolved its leadership woes and can get 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.960 back to the job of holding this labor government to account, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.720 because this is who is in charge right now. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:21.000 I think in Australian politics it's important not only that 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.520 you have a good government. And of course I think 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.080 Anthony Albanesi projects a sea of tranquility in an age 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:29.960 of uncertainty. 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.480 I'm sorry, sorry, what a sea of tranquility that was 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.400 a Trade Minister Don Farrell who clearly is all at 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.600 sea himself. And notice he had to look down and 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.920 refer to his talking points this morning just to talk 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.680 about his own leader. So let me summarize Labour's weekend 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.040 for you. Anthony Albanesi was busy playing the gender card. 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:53.400 Well. 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.840 I think people in the Liberal Party will despair that 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.960 Susan Lee did as leader of the Liberal Party just 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.040 months ago. It wasn't even given the opportunity to give 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:08.720 one budget reply speech. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:10.320 It's up to the. 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:14.160 Liberal Party, of course, to defend their own internal processes. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.560 But the truth is that if you. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.960 Look at the government and then what some see as 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.760 the alternative government, my government has a majority of women 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:26.080 in our caucus. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.040 Great to hear he now knows what a woman is 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.880 now DEI. Politics and gender ideology never bodes well, and 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.800 it's not what you at Homer thinking about. In the 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.200 middle of a cost of living crisis, and when the 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.920 standard of living has been crushed under labor, when bills 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.760 are going up and immigration is at record levels, then 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.800 there's the housing Minister Clare O'Neill, who was busy not 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.920 dealing with the housing crisis, not dealing with the fact 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.880 Labor has failed to achieve any of its housing targets, 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:56.640 for dealing with her fridge. 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.160 Did Susan Lay lose the Liberal leader ship because she's 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.520 a woman. When a man takes on. 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.680 A leadership role, authority. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.720 Is immediately gifted to him. But when a woman takes 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.680 on a leadership role, everything's a bit different. They have 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.240 to earn authority and earn it again and again and again. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.760 And one of the things I really noticed with Susan 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.280 Lay was it so many of her male colleagues they 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.200 just never actually accepted that she was their boss. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.400 Well, firstly, I'm distracted by the open fridge. Secondly, way 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.760 to alienate male voters, And thirdly, Labor was always. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.920 Going to make the Liberal leadership spill about gender and 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.200 identity politics when it knows what a woman is. 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.120 Of course, now we know it's not about gender, it's 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.040 about who's best for the job. And don't forget there 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.960 were women within the Liberal Party ranks openly critical of 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.760 Susan Lee too. Just sent a Nampajipper Price, Sarah Henderson 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.559 and in the last few weeks new Deputy Jane Hugh. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.080 And then there's Don Farrell, who has admitted that he 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.559 doesn't even know the rules of his own portfolio. This 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:05.520 minister is responsible for overseeing the Parliamentary Expenses watchdog, but he's. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.520 Not quite sure about travel entitlements. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.679 I was negotiating a free trade agreement in Europe when 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.720 this conversation took place, and I must admit I haven't 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.920 caught up with the specifics of it since I got 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.760 back at eleven o'clock last night. But each individual, each 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.439 MP has to has to understand the rules and has 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.600 to comply with the rules. That includes me and every 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.040 other Member of Parliament. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.440 And in another sign of just how out of touch 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.760 this minister is, he has suggested that his recent ninety 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.840 thousand dollars tax payer bill to fly his wife and 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.120 adult children around the country passes the pub test. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.160 Look. I could sit on my couch the beer watching 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.920 the TV. I choose to go round the country and 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:58.720 around the world to promote Australia. I'd ask you to 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:03.640 have a look at my record in this regard one 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:08.000 point three trillion dollars of trade, a record trade amount. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.600 Look at China twenty billion dollars worth of new trade. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.720 Wow, don look at me, I'm doing so much. Therefore 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.400 I can just justify spending all of your money, please. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.920 And then finally, to cap off Labour's weekend, there's Chris Bowen, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.840 who's back with the memes again. The Climate Change and 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.360 Energy Minister seems to think your bills going up is 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:31.800 a joke. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.400 My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.080 My question is to Minister for Climate. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.640 My question is to the Minister for Climate, Minister for Climate. 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.480 My question is to the Minister of Climate Change and Energy. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:49.559 Question change energy paraphrase is my favorite, Taylor. It's actually 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.400 sweet all the time, and you spend on me. It's 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:57.160 actually romantic. As the Speaker, I won't be thinking about 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.640 the National Party on Saturday, even if they're thinking about 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.720 me my Time's Day, because they've says it is just 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.720 a little bit over the top as the Speaker. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.439 But I wish them all the best. 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.600 I mean, he seems to think that questions about why 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.080 you never saw that two hundred and seventy five dollars 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.560 in energy bill relief is a big laugh some sort 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.440 of Valentine's Day obsession. Does he think it's funny when 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.400 mum and dad can't pay their bills. I mean, this 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:24.160 is not a serious government, but unfortunately one which has 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.640 been allowed to run off the lead while the Coalition 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.160 and Liberal Party were in crisis. Now this is why 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.120 the Liberal Party can't waste any more time. A longer 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.720 way to change in leadership has come in Angus Taylor, 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:39.679 a conservative, and already he's foreshadowing strong policies like on immigrations. 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.960 Now our focus is on bringing people to this country 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.160 who believe in our values, who come here because they 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.520 know this is the greatest nation on earth. They want 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.840 to contribute and they want to be part of our 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.920 way of life. Now, if they reject our core beliefs, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.679 if they reject our focus onocracy, the rule of law, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.439 obeying the law, our basic freedoms, freedom of speech, freedom 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.040 of religion, if they reject those things, the door must 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:08.480 be shut. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.440 This is a really great start, but the window of 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.439 opportunity is slim. The Liberal parties in the middle of 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.360 an identity crisis. Who is it and what does it 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.560 stand for? A Sky News pulse YUGAV poll put the 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.199 Coalition vote at a catastrophic low of nineteen percent this week, 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.280 as behind One Nation on twenty eight. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.040 Now this isn't just a plan. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.440 To save the Liberal Party, but Angus Taylor has to 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.680 try and win back voters who have abandoned the party 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.040 for One Nation, and I've got to say credit to 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.840 Pauline Hanson for being the only politician to put issues 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.320 like immigration, like who we're bringing into the country front 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.360 of the agenda. In the nine months since the election, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.000 Australia changed, but the Liberal Party never caught up and 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.840 One Nation took advantage in one No wonder Pauline Hanson 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.520 is the most favored politician in the country, but now 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.120 the Liberal Party is going to have to work with 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.440 her as well as the Nationals and finally we're starting 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.240 to see strong coalition unity. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.319 So it's just some downright common sense that Angus is 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.280 getting back to getting back to our values as Australians, 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.800 pulling the leaders without having to spend more of your 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.120 money to solve the nation's problems. That's common sense. That's 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.760 what the Nationals will sign up to with the coalition 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.680 and I think Angus has proven that pretty strongly in 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:22.480 his first outing. 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.800 This moment demands more than just a leadership change. It's 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:27.480 a good start. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.000 As I said, let's hope the Liberal Party does not 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.880 squander it again because right now Labor is taking us 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.080 all for fools. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:40.520 Let's bring in. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.640 LMP and p Garth Hamilton. Now, Garth, good to catch 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.480 up with you. Thank you so much for joining me. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.720 Let's start with the Liberal leadership. Is Angus Taylor the 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.480 right man for the job? I know that you were 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.000 a big backer of Andrew Hasty and we haven't had 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.680 you on the show since he pulled out of the 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.120 leadership challenge. But are you satisfied with Friday's outcome? 0:14:59.120 --> 0:14:59.280 Oh? 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.960 Absolutely, I'm not looking backwards for a second. I think 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.720 Angus has absolutely hit the right note right from the 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.560 get go. Australia is a place for people who want 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.400 to be here. What a perfectly sensible statement. If you 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.640 don't love it, leave it. Goodness me, I'm so grateful 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.440 that Angus has come out and really been clear about 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.440 that right from the get go. As you pointed out, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.920 immigration is an issue that we really needed to deal 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.800 with early on in this term, and he's clearly going 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:24.120 to do. 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:24.800 That right away. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.000 Look, I couldn't agree more and I do think it 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.400 was great to hear him talking about our values and 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.000 saying that are people I mean his Friday, So there 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.760 have people who've come into this country who. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.239 Hate our values and I think. 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.640 You know you welcome that, you welcome that sort of 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.160 rhetoric because it's a rhetoric we. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.680 Haven't heard from for a long time. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.840 I've got to say, Garthaman, the window of opportunity is 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.760 quite slim. The Liberal Party needs to turn this around 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.080 pretty quickly. When can we start actually seeing some genuine 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.560 policy announcements. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.320 Look, I think they will be coming very quickly, but 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.520 the main thing you're going to see is that bedrock 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.240 labe by Angus on immigration. Clearly this is a place 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.840 for people who want to be here. On the economy, 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.840 we need to be very sensible with our spending and 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.360 it needs to be putting Australians first. And look when 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.360 you see interest rates going up, this is a sign 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.960 that these things aren't in play. And I think Angus 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.960 is best placed, I really do, of anyone on our 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.760 side to leaders through these difficult economic times. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:24.760 Yeah, and I mean he was also on the front 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.760 foot speaking about the economy today as well. Getting back 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.040 to those basics, he's going to be announcing his front 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.920 bench soon. Do you expect to get a role on 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.280 the Angus Taylor front bench. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.640 No, I'm very happy being the Member for Groom. I'll 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.760 leave it to Angus to choose what he wants, Tanika. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.040 I've been on your show right throughout this term, leading 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.600 the way on quite a few policy issues. From net 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.600 zero spoke about immigration policy. I've been very happy to 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.120 speak out and make sure that people knew the Liberal 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.720 Party was still in touch with Australia. Now we've got 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.960 Angus at the helm. I think he's going to take 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.560 the lead on that and that's going to be fantastic. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.440 So you're not going to You're not worried if you 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.960 don't get a spot. You want a spot, Let's be honest. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.600 Oh look anyway, any politician who tells you it doesn't 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.239 they don't want to spot his line to here. But 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.639 I've learned a lot in this game. The best thing 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.920 you can do is do your best and leave everything 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:16.560 else to chance. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:18.600 Yeah, no, no fair, Colin, You're right. 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:20.240 I mean you've been very much on the front foot 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.320 on so many of these issues. How do you now 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.280 look to claw back votes from one nation? I know 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.200 that Pauline Hansen was very critical even of the leadership 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.760 change on Friday, but clearly that there is a problem there. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.000 You have been bleeding votes to one nation. What do 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.960 you do to win back that support. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:43.159 Well, once we establish those clear policy foundations on the 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.600 things that matter to people and energy, on immigration, on 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.000 the economy, I think then we have to turn to 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.880 everyone on the right of politics, no matter where they are, 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.000 and say come with me. And I think Angus is 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.239 going to do that. He's going to tell people, you know, 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.960 we've got a long way to go to the election, 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.240 but right now we have to be a credible opposition 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:01.919 to mister Albinizi. And if you need to wear your 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.520 own shirt for a while, wear it for a while. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.959 But on these fights we have to have with labor 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.359 right here, right now, come with us, and I think 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.600 will show that strength over time, we will show the 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:13.600 direction that we're heading in. 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.280 Yeah, look good to hear, as I said, it's a 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.199 great start to hear Angus Taylor really firing on all 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.160 fronts when it comes to those issues that I think 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.520 a lot of conservative voters have been tearing their hair 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.160 out about for so long. I want to ask you, 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.560 I just spoke earlier about these reports of the Daily 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.240 Telegraph that fourteen children in New South Wales have been 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:36.080 subjected to suspected force marriages in the past financial year. 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.080 These are unofficial ceremonies conducted by Islamic clerics in backyards. 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.760 It's up from eight to the year before Garth. My 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:47.160 argument is that we've imported this, and again, immigration is key. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.520 It comes down to immigration policy. Now we'll point out 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.199 the majority of Muslims live peacefully in this country. But 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.359 I am talking about a radical sect of Islam that 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.600 is incompatible with our values. 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:59.160 What do we do about it? 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.040 Well, I think we have to acknowledge it is incompatible. 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:04.880 I'm one of the few guests you'll have who has 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.560 lived un there Sharia law. During my time in Saudi Arabia, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.280 I could have lived there very well off quite frankly, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.200 but the contrast and the idea of trying to raise 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:18.359 my kids under some of these sort of laws was 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:19.280 just too much for. 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:19.560 Me to think. 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.600 And I came to Australia came back home. There is 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.600 such a difference and we have to acknowledge that. And look, 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.320 diversity of background is a wonderful thing. It's really interesting, 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.199 But as a nation we need unity of purpose. Unity 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.399 is about where we're going and it's about tomorrow. And 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.440 unless we have that, and I'm talking not just individually 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.560 but in the little groups around Australia, then we will 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.120 never be our full potential. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:47.240 No, that's it, and I do agree. 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.080 I think it comes down to a lot of acknowledgment 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.800 that we have brought some people in whose values are 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.840 incompatible with the Western democracy in particular. And you know, 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.040 some who hate us, some who hate our values, and 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.040 some who have no interest in assimilating into the this 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.920 great country. So you know, we have to actually raise 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.960 the point. We can't dance around it. That is absolutely key. 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.520 Just on the Isis brides, there are some still being 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.760 held in northern Syria. They've now applied for Australian passports. 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.040 In an effort to return home. We're talking Garth. 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.359 At least ten women and children who were in Syrian camps. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:24.080 They've lodged applications. Look, here we go again. You know, 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.720 the Jahati romance doesn't quite work out. They want to 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.760 come back here to the country in which they betrayed 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.520 when they left here to go to the death cult. 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.960 What's your response to this look. 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.760 I have a lot of sympathy for the children. I 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.320 imagine they've been raised in very difficult circumstances. The truth is, however, 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:45.320 these mothers left Australia. The chose to go to join 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.880
