WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 2 September 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:08.190 This is Paul Murray Live. Thank you so much for watching. 0:00:08.210 --> 0:00:09.649 We've got a lot of work to do tonight. Thank 0:00:09.670 --> 0:00:11.470 you very much, Shari. Let us get into it in 0:00:11.490 --> 0:00:13.970 the Man Cave right now. Now, for a large part 0:00:13.990 --> 0:00:16.650 of the country, the changeover to spring has meant everyone 0:00:16.690 --> 0:00:19.310 gets to live in Queensland. The weather has been perfect 0:00:19.690 --> 0:00:21.690 in lots of parts of the country, which has been awesome. 0:00:22.350 --> 0:00:23.810 And that's kind of the best news I can give 0:00:23.829 --> 0:00:26.820 you tonight because, of course, anyone who is working is 0:00:26.860 --> 0:00:29.680 going backwards. Why? Real wages are not keeping up with inflation. 0:00:30.370 --> 0:00:31.870 And of course, if you're in small business, well, you 0:00:31.910 --> 0:00:35.790 feel the squeeze all day, every day. So I bring 0:00:35.830 --> 0:00:40.650 to you tonight a opinion poll with a difference. For 0:00:40.670 --> 0:00:42.930 a long time, the essential organisation, they put out the 0:00:42.970 --> 0:00:46.489 opinion poll in the Turnbull Times, the Guardian, which tracks 0:00:46.530 --> 0:00:49.620 the national mood of the country. And the number is 0:00:49.700 --> 0:00:53.260 not good. In fact, tonight, 59% of people believe the 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.780 country is headed in the wrong direction, the wrong track. 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.779 Just 23% of people saying that less than a quarter 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.320 of the country is saying that we're headed in the 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.120 right direction. And we all know this. We live it. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.460 We talk about it each and every day. But to 0:01:04.500 --> 0:01:07.090 put this into context, the number of people who think 0:01:07.110 --> 0:01:08.990 the country is headed in the right direction is the 0:01:09.150 --> 0:01:12.630 lowest number ever under the Albanese government. Look in the 0:01:13.130 --> 0:01:19.950 bottom right-hand corner. 23% lowest number ever. Since the election 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:25.300 of the government in 2022, the highest number ever for 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.620 the country headed in the wrong direction at 59%. Think 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.480 of everything in the first term, think about everything after 0:01:31.500 --> 0:01:35.619 the voice, we'll think about here we are now. The 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.540 worst number in the country in terms of people who 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.399 think that we are headed in the right direction, the 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.680 worst number in the history of this government when it 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.350 comes to the wrong track. And whom does Australia blame 0:01:47.390 --> 0:01:51.370 for the current circumstance? Well, finally, they've realised that it 0:01:51.430 --> 0:01:54.010 is the Prime Minister who is holding the proverbial baby, 0:01:54.050 --> 0:01:55.730 that the man in charge of the country is actually 0:01:55.790 --> 0:01:58.190 in charge of the country, and the decisions that he, 0:01:58.250 --> 0:02:01.150 along with his mates, make is turning us in the 0:02:01.190 --> 0:02:06.610 wrong direction. Prime Minister's disapproval is now 56% in a 0:02:06.910 --> 0:02:13.210 poll in The Guardian. All right? Now, in fairness, the 0:02:13.350 --> 0:02:16.270 opinion poll is not like the editorial line from the 0:02:17.150 --> 0:02:19.590 news organisation that it appears in. But still, if there 0:02:19.630 --> 0:02:21.160 was ever going to be a positive one, it'd turn 0:02:21.220 --> 0:02:23.120 up here. It's not. In fact, that's why the don't 0:02:23.180 --> 0:02:26.079 know number is there, and it probably pulls back some 0:02:26.100 --> 0:02:29.340 of those numbers. Just 35% of people, pretty much the 0:02:29.380 --> 0:02:32.520 Labor Party primary vote, which, according to this poll, again, 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.910 is at record lows. We're now sort of moving to the... 0:02:37.090 --> 0:02:40.350 low 20s rather than the mid-20s, let alone the 30s 0:02:40.370 --> 0:02:42.910 that were there in the last election. And guess what 0:02:42.930 --> 0:02:46.970 the story is again? A record number of people disapproving 0:02:46.990 --> 0:02:49.250 of the Prime Minister, the highest number he has ever 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.660 had since this poll was first taken. You can see 0:02:52.700 --> 0:02:54.520 on the far left of your screen, the red or 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.839 what might seem like an orange line, well, of course, 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.000 the disapproval number, which was basically at 50-50 at the 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.510 2022 election, bang, it goes straight down, positivity at about 60%. 0:03:03.510 --> 0:03:08.750 And then slowly but surely, that falls away to 35%, 0:03:08.750 --> 0:03:16.290 and the disapproval, it goes from about, what, 15% to 56%. 0:03:16.290 --> 0:03:18.710 That's where the Prime Minister sits right now. His approval, 0:03:18.750 --> 0:03:25.240 by the way, again, lowest number on record. Finally, the 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.180 Prime Minister is being held accountable for his actions. Now, 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.900 we knew all of these before the 22 election. We 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.620 spoke about them all the way through the first term. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.380 We wished for a different outcome today. in the 25 election, 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.690 and who knows what's going to happen at the next election. 0:03:38.330 --> 0:03:40.590 And no doubt the Labor Party boffins will simply say, well, 0:03:40.610 --> 0:03:42.770 this is just the middle of the race, it doesn't 0:03:42.810 --> 0:03:45.550 really matter. Well, the truth is that if you're trying 0:03:45.570 --> 0:03:47.930 to pay off a home, there's 15 interest rate rises 0:03:47.950 --> 0:03:50.910 with a chance of another two to come before there's 0:03:50.950 --> 0:03:53.680 even a conversation about levelling out or maybe going down. 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.560 And in small business, people that you wouldn't think would 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.880 be ragging on the Labor Party are doing so, and 0:03:58.900 --> 0:04:03.080 it's making national attention. Can I introduce you to this woman? 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.530 She's been in the beauty industry for a long time. 0:04:05.550 --> 0:04:08.410 Her name is Crystal. She runs a joint called Lux 0:04:08.770 --> 0:04:13.550 Label Hair. It's in Perth. News.com.au pointed out what she 0:04:13.610 --> 0:04:16.210 has written on social media in the past couple of days. 0:04:17.070 --> 0:04:21.830 She had enough. The hugely popular salon erupts at the government, 0:04:22.029 --> 0:04:23.490 says she's close to packing it in. This is a 0:04:23.510 --> 0:04:27.060 young woman at the peak of her powers but under 0:04:27.140 --> 0:04:31.450 the maximum stress. This is the story of anyone. trying 0:04:31.470 --> 0:04:34.310 to live outside of the triangle of dependence, working for 0:04:34.330 --> 0:04:36.750 the government, welfare from the government, or the government being 0:04:36.770 --> 0:04:43.450 your customer. Quote, this year, every single cost went up. Wages, super, insurance, rent, 0:04:43.650 --> 0:04:48.360 software compliance. All of it correct. We can't ask our 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.180 clients to pay more to cover it because they're being 0:04:51.220 --> 0:04:54.900 squeezed just as hard. Every quarter, there's another deadline, another bill, 0:04:55.200 --> 0:05:01.670 another increase, another thing we have to comply with and 0:05:01.750 --> 0:05:05.210 a penalty waiting if we don't. She wrote to the Post, 0:05:05.230 --> 0:05:07.990 she also tagged the Prime Minister in the hope that 0:05:08.029 --> 0:05:09.290 he would see it. Well, I tell you what, they 0:05:09.310 --> 0:05:12.489 will and truly have seen it because it's gone viral. 0:05:13.650 --> 0:05:18.420 As you can see, she's had enough. It is good 0:05:18.460 --> 0:05:21.460 to see people coming to the realisation and it is 0:05:21.980 --> 0:05:25.839 sad that our fears of this government have all come true. 0:05:27.089 --> 0:05:29.750 But hopefully people will maintain the rage, will not be 0:05:29.790 --> 0:05:32.529 distracted by whatever the distraction or the buy-off politics is 0:05:32.570 --> 0:05:34.990 that exists between now and the next election. There is 0:05:35.010 --> 0:05:37.480 a world of pain for Australians and it's about time 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:43.360 the government, responsible for it, paid for it. Remember a 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.720 couple of days ago we showed you Annika Wells' ridiculous, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.230 ridiculous social media post where she was patronising, doing the 0:05:50.260 --> 0:05:52.849 Play School Host thing, trying to explain the housing market 0:05:52.870 --> 0:05:54.750 when it came to Ooshies, because, you know, Ooshies are cool. 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.900 And Dolly, pardon me, because, you know, we're all thinking 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.960 about Dolly at the moment. One more time. 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.360 What did these guys and the Australian housing market have 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.260 in common? Both the ushy market and the Australian housing 0:06:07.300 --> 0:06:10.220 market are dictated by supply and demand. The problem right 0:06:10.260 --> 0:06:12.540 now is that supply of ushies and supply of housing 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.080 is not keeping pace with demand. 0:06:14.700 --> 0:06:17.120 Well, thankfully... There is somebody who feels the same way 0:06:17.140 --> 0:06:18.740 that we do, and I'm pleased that so many people 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.930 are starting to pay attention, as they should, to the 0:06:20.990 --> 0:06:24.590 absurdity of these social media videos, how patronising they all are. 0:06:24.890 --> 0:06:27.250 And it's time to turn the joke from one on us, 0:06:27.290 --> 0:06:31.220 because we pay for it, back at then. Jamie Johnson, 0:06:31.420 --> 0:06:34.180 she does a podcast with our dear friend Jamie Rogers, 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.440 and she decided to mock this video, including the very 0:06:37.500 --> 0:06:42.520 words of the minister. Jamie, well done. Gold star. I 0:06:42.620 --> 0:06:45.109 love this. If you can find it, share it as 0:06:45.210 --> 0:06:46.570 wide as you can. Roll the tape. 0:06:48.210 --> 0:06:51.630 I'm your minister for communications. What do these guys and 0:06:51.690 --> 0:06:54.360 government spending in Canberra have in common? Let's break it 0:06:54.420 --> 0:07:00.900 down using international travel expenses. One ushi represents $ 1, 000. If 0:07:00.980 --> 0:07:03.500 I were to fly to New York return business class 0:07:03.660 --> 0:07:07.630 via either cafe or Qatar Airways using my own money, 0:07:07.790 --> 0:07:12.350 it would cost eight ushis. But using taxpayer money, I 0:07:12.390 --> 0:07:18.920 was able to spend... 34 Ooshies. Now, I actually took 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:24.130 two other staff with me, so really, I spent 94 Ooshies. 0:07:25.170 --> 0:07:25.590 Fabulous. 0:07:26.470 --> 0:07:29.330 The joke isn't on us. The joke is them. Laugh 0:07:29.470 --> 0:07:32.040 at them directly. Of course, all of that a reference 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:33.660 to the future Prime Minister. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:33.760 Why? 0:07:33.780 --> 0:07:36.040 Because that's the way Fadia works in Australia. Rather than 0:07:36.060 --> 0:07:37.700 being flushed out of the system, she'll end up going 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.720 to the very top. And, of course, she is the 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.460 Minister for Freebies. Why? Because she, of course, was more 0:07:43.490 --> 0:07:45.670 than happy to use the rules and do nothing wrong 0:07:46.510 --> 0:07:48.630 as the Sports Minister to fly around as if she 0:07:48.650 --> 0:07:50.970 was one of the players. No matter the code, no 0:07:50.990 --> 0:07:55.210 matter the sport, she was there supporting. Anyway, Jamie's not done. 0:07:55.410 --> 0:07:56.740 I love this video. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.930 The problem right now is that we in Canberra spend 0:08:02.130 --> 0:08:06.370 these ushis taxpayer money. Like there's a never ending supply, 0:08:06.470 --> 0:08:08.710 but there's not. We need more of your money. 0:08:08.830 --> 0:08:09.450 How do we fix it? 0:08:10.070 --> 0:08:11.310 To fix the ushi crisis. 0:08:11.510 --> 0:08:15.600 We should learn to respect taxpayers and their money to 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.640 deliver ushi equilibrium, whereby we use ushi's taxpayer money as 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:21.800 though it were our own. 0:08:21.980 --> 0:08:22.740 That's pretty easy. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.620 But the problem is that recently there's been a shortage 0:08:25.660 --> 0:08:27.380 of ushi's taxpayer money. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.760 To fix that problem and increase supply, at the last budget. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.679 Labor told Australian taxpayers they needed to pay more. So 0:08:34.730 --> 0:08:39.610 they introduced drastic changes to Australia's tax system, effectively crashing 0:08:39.650 --> 0:08:42.350 the property market. Sounds pretty good to me. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.800 Chef's kiss. Well done. And when it comes to the 0:08:46.820 --> 0:08:48.700 dumb social media videos, the one place you'll find them 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.780 every night, every night here while you're working. We'll get 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:52.939 to that in a couple of minutes' time. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:53.679 Fair dinkum. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.380 Now, as you know, the past couple of days, the 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.620 absurdity of the Prime Minister going too far, making things 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.939 too personal and, in my view, raising the temperature too 0:09:01.980 --> 0:09:05.240 high on Pauline Hanson. Why? Because, of course, the term 0:09:05.260 --> 0:09:08.520 that is used by the most hateful online about anyone 0:09:08.540 --> 0:09:10.980 who disagrees with the government, let alone offering a political 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.500 alternative to the government, what do you get called? Far right. 0:09:14.630 --> 0:09:18.290 Far right. Far right. Far right. Far right. And just 0:09:18.309 --> 0:09:20.990 like Michelle Obama told Democrats to vote like your life 0:09:21.050 --> 0:09:23.370 depends on it, let's turn that up to 11 too. 0:09:24.690 --> 0:09:28.050 We simply must defeat them. We owe it to history. 0:09:28.170 --> 0:09:29.560 We owe it to the nation. 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:36.100 Well, unbelievably, there is someone playing exactly the same angle 0:09:36.620 --> 0:09:44.320 when it comes to the Nepal disaster, believe it or not. Now, obviously, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.780 this has involved thousands of people, the death toll through 0:09:47.820 --> 0:09:51.100 the roof. There's dozens of Australians that are still missing. Yes, 0:09:51.140 --> 0:09:55.430 a couple have been found. But how you link these 0:09:55.490 --> 0:10:00.540 two things, good luck. But apparently some people went commenting 0:10:00.740 --> 0:10:04.540 on these stories online, are making disgraceful and outright racist 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.450 statements about the Australian victims that are in Nepal. Now, 0:10:09.470 --> 0:10:12.910 of course, this is a disgrace, not acceptable, not OK, 0:10:13.370 --> 0:10:16.050 not in anyone's name. You should be ashamed of yourself 0:10:17.210 --> 0:10:19.970 and think twice about what you do online. A slew 0:10:20.010 --> 0:10:22.970 of racist social media comments have been made towards Australians 0:10:23.030 --> 0:10:27.400 missing in the catastrophic Nepal-Tibet floods, prompting calls for greater 0:10:27.420 --> 0:10:33.160 accountability of major platforms to remove hatred. Now, apparently, dozens 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:34.860 of people have been commenting on these things, saying that 0:10:34.900 --> 0:10:38.520 the citizens are not white and therefore weren't really Australian. 0:10:38.700 --> 0:10:40.520 Rubbish. Terrible. Disgraceful. 0:10:40.940 --> 0:10:42.860 If you're involved in any of that, please, go away. 0:10:44.100 --> 0:10:47.250 Don't want you watching. Don't want you sharing. Just disgraceful stuff. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.420 So how does this somehow link back to the conversation 0:10:51.700 --> 0:10:55.470 and the temperature being risen in and around One Nation? Well, 0:10:55.490 --> 0:10:59.770 cue the Race Discrimination Commissioner. Now, he was approached by 0:10:59.890 --> 0:11:05.449 The Guardian because they know that he can see racism here, 0:11:05.470 --> 0:11:07.809 there and everywhere. Remember the National Press Club last year? 0:11:07.850 --> 0:11:08.650 This was his speech. 0:11:09.860 --> 0:11:10.180 Racism. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.520 And I'm not joking, that was only half of the 0:11:11.620 --> 0:11:13.700 mentions inside that speech. This was his quote. The Race 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:40.860 Discrimination Commissioner said, that he wasn't surprised by the comments 0:11:41.460 --> 0:11:45.140 which he's connected to Australia's current debate on migrants. Quote, 0:11:45.820 --> 0:11:49.950 they're saying you don't deserve to, to be seen as 0:11:49.990 --> 0:11:54.449 an Australian. And that's amplified by the rhetoric of far-right 0:11:54.530 --> 0:12:00.220 populist parties. So somehow it's Pauline Hanson's fault that losers 0:12:00.429 --> 0:12:06.280 are saying racist stuff about Australians and non-Australians, human beings 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.689 that are suffering on the other side of the world. Well, 0:12:08.730 --> 0:12:10.929 you know and I know, regardless of whom you're planning 0:12:10.950 --> 0:12:17.810 to vote for, 99.999% of Australians every day are looking 0:12:17.850 --> 0:12:21.380 to this story to find signs of hope and the 0:12:21.429 --> 0:12:27.960 endless stories of heartbreak are heartbreaking. So let's push back 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.620 against this bloke and those who want to pretend that 0:12:30.660 --> 0:12:35.480 somehow there's a domestic politics slur that Australians don't care. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.500 There are many ways you can give. You pick your charity. 0:12:38.980 --> 0:12:40.900 Tonight I'm going to point you towards the Red Cross. 0:12:42.890 --> 0:12:48.010 To show you care, redcross.org.au forward slash global dash emergency. 0:12:49.370 --> 0:12:55.660 Redcross.org.au global emergency. There's the button. Give the money. It'll 0:12:55.700 --> 0:12:57.839 get there as fast as possible. If you prefer to 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.090 do UNICEF, if you prefer to do Oxfam, if you 0:13:00.110 --> 0:13:03.550 prefer to do Médecins Sans Frontières, if you prefer whatever 0:13:03.570 --> 0:13:06.630 the charity it is, that's the way to push back. 0:13:06.690 --> 0:13:09.050 That's the way to show this bloke that all of 0:13:09.090 --> 0:13:12.350 that hot air and wind does not apply, certainly in 0:13:12.390 --> 0:13:19.570 this situation. Now, another shooting in Sydney. This is the 0:13:20.050 --> 0:13:23.950 51st shooting that has happened in Sydney so far this year. 0:13:24.650 --> 0:13:27.410 This was one that apparently took place in Maryland. This 0:13:27.450 --> 0:13:30.290 is where a man had been shot dead in front 0:13:30.309 --> 0:13:34.809 of his kids. This, of course, all happening in Sydney's west. 0:13:34.830 --> 0:13:38.710 This is the police speaking about what happened today. I 0:13:38.790 --> 0:13:41.520 don't want any innocent member of the community to be. 0:13:41.510 --> 0:13:42.859 Impacted by organised crime. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:44.679 We will not tolerate it. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.740 We have a significant investigation going at the moment and 0:13:47.780 --> 0:13:50.400 I'm committed to making sure we put those responsible before 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:50.859 the court. 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.229 And, of course, the mistaken identities. from 24 hours earlier. 0:13:55.650 --> 0:13:58.209 Quite rightly, Kelly Sloan, the opposition leader... Now, look, again, 0:13:58.290 --> 0:14:00.120 I like Chris Minns, everyone likes Chris Minns, but he 0:14:00.220 --> 0:14:02.080 talks a wonderful game about how we're going to do 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.020 something about it, but everything has got worse in the 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.140 past four years. Who's been in charge for the past 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.740 four years? Well, not Kelly Sloan. Who wants to be 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.940 in charge for the next four years? Well, Kelly Sloan. 0:14:13.179 --> 0:14:16.080 This is out of control, and we have a government 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.620 that's saying, yeah, it's too much, but what are they doing? 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.950 We need to be very clear... about the threat on 0:14:23.010 --> 0:14:27.770 our streets and that is dangerous, organised criminals. And unfortunately now, 0:14:27.830 --> 0:14:30.810 innocent people have been in the firing line way too often. 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.500 So I wanted to do a little bit of research, 0:14:34.540 --> 0:14:36.000 as we always try to do, to give you some 0:14:36.020 --> 0:14:38.940 data inside the opinion so you can use that data 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.140 to be able to inform other people about what's really 0:14:41.180 --> 0:14:44.100 going on as opposed to the perceptions of what's going on. 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.180 And we tried to find out today about just how 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.180 many crimes are involving guns at the moment in New 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.280 South Wales. Again, 50th shooting of the year. But let's 0:14:54.300 --> 0:14:57.070 go back to the last financial year and the way 0:14:57.090 --> 0:14:59.229 that that was all put together by the Bureau of 0:14:59.290 --> 0:15:04.570 Crime Statistics in New South Wales. 35 murders apparently involved 0:15:04.610 --> 0:15:10.090 a firearm. Six attempted murders. 40 non-domestic assaults. 14 domestic assaults, 0:15:10.130 --> 0:15:16.280 dear God. 93 robberies. Total 153. But then it also 0:15:16.340 --> 0:15:21.620 got me thinking about the question many people ask, which is, 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:27.380 in terms of crime, are most of the guns registered firearms, 0:15:27.450 --> 0:15:31.570 either used by registered firearms owners or stolen from registered 0:15:31.970 --> 0:15:37.990 firearms owners, or are they illegal guns? Now, anecdotally, we 0:15:38.010 --> 0:15:40.580 would all suggest that most likely the guns that are 0:15:40.620 --> 0:15:42.520 being used in crime are the ones that no one 0:15:42.540 --> 0:15:46.460 fills out the paperwork for. So we decided to ask 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.250 today the Bureau of Crime Statistics, hey, can you actually 0:15:49.300 --> 0:15:53.830 give us the numbers? You've got data over decades. Just 0:15:53.850 --> 0:15:56.090 give us the numbers for the last 12 months. How 0:15:56.170 --> 0:16:02.670 many registered guns, i.e. legal guns, versus unregistered illegal guns 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.040 were used in those crimes that I just mentioned in 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.810 New South Wales? Now, again... I like Bozcar, I like 0:16:10.850 --> 0:16:12.810 the work they do, this is no attack on the 0:16:12.830 --> 0:16:15.190 people who are working for them, but the response came 0:16:15.210 --> 0:16:17.830 back when we asked this afternoon, quote, we don't have 0:16:17.870 --> 0:16:21.890 visibility of whether the firearm involved in an offence was 0:16:21.970 --> 0:16:26.790 registered or unregistered. Now, that either means that somewhere, it's 0:16:26.930 --> 0:16:28.620 down the back of the couch, they're not able to 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.260 find it quickly for us, but the Bureau of Crime 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.840 Statistics is fantastic with the level of detail that they have. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:42.260 Surely someone, when they are entering the paperwork about did 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.700 a crime happen, was a gun involved, the third question 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:49.110 is what type of gun, i.e. legal or illegal, when 0:16:49.150 --> 0:16:51.790 it comes to it. The other line of attack for 0:16:51.850 --> 0:16:53.490 us today was to go to the New South Wales Police. 0:16:53.530 --> 0:16:55.570 And again, no attack on the people who work and 0:16:56.190 --> 0:17:00.620 help the media get information. But virtually the instant response 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.080 that we got back from the New South Wales Police 0:17:02.300 --> 0:17:04.600 to answer this question was, data will need to be 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.920 obtained by Bozcar... Again, they've already given us their answer. 0:17:08.700 --> 0:17:13.750 Or by a GIPA request. What is a GIPA? Essentially, 0:17:13.830 --> 0:17:19.469 a Freedom of Information request. Now, surely, and I'm not 0:17:19.510 --> 0:17:22.810 suggesting in any way that somebody's hiding this number, but 0:17:22.869 --> 0:17:26.159 surely there is a number for us to slowly but 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:32.859 surely learn about. Surely, somewhere from the crime scene to 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:38.699 the crime stats, someone... keeps a list. So we know 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.340 what the problem is. Now, New South Wales has been 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.540 a very aggressive state, along with others, about the national buyback. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.700 They signed up to that not long ago. They've made 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.929 it clear that they want to cut back on the 0:17:49.970 --> 0:17:53.070 number of registered firearms somebody is able to own, let 0:17:53.090 --> 0:17:57.210 alone in regional areas, slightly more. But clearly the problem 0:17:57.510 --> 0:18:00.190 would have to be someone, somewhere, with the use of 0:18:00.250 --> 0:18:03.340 illegal guns. I'd like to know because I want us 0:18:03.380 --> 0:18:06.649 to have a conversation based in fact. My assumption is 0:18:06.690 --> 0:18:10.670 that most crimes are involving illegal firearms. You would have 0:18:10.690 --> 0:18:14.090 to think that by 2026, someone somewhere is writing that 0:18:14.150 --> 0:18:19.100 number down. If not, what the heck's going on? Suffice 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.500 to say, I am now sufficiently interested. We'll continue to 0:18:22.540 --> 0:18:25.159 follow up. And anyone who has access to this information, 0:18:25.580 --> 0:18:27.619 we look forward to hearing it from you sooner rather 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:32.310 than later. And speaking of the opaque world of secrecy 0:18:32.350 --> 0:18:35.190 when it comes to governments... You remember the federal government 0:18:35.310 --> 0:18:38.130 and H.Y. Albo, the Prime Minister, whose numbers are getting 0:18:38.150 --> 0:18:42.379 worse by the day, including in the Guardian opinion poll. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.600 And H.Y. Albo promises things like transparency before he gets 0:18:47.660 --> 0:18:48.200 into government. 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.979 The truth is that we're an open, transparent party. There 0:18:53.010 --> 0:18:56.050 needs to be complete transparency. What we need is a 0:18:56.109 --> 0:18:59.550 Prime Minister who's prepared to be transparent. A more honest 0:18:59.630 --> 0:19:02.389 and transparent government going forward. 0:19:02.410 --> 0:19:03.910 We will make it transparent. 0:19:03.930 --> 0:19:05.050 We're being transparent. 0:19:05.930 --> 0:19:09.820 But the truth is we live inside Albo's house of secrets. 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.140 Why do we make that claim? Why do we poke 0:19:13.180 --> 0:19:19.990 fun at them? Because... Independent organisations have concluded, among other things, 0:19:20.030 --> 0:19:22.930 the Albanese government is worse than the previous Liberal government 0:19:22.950 --> 0:19:26.620 at producing documents. Like, only about a quarter of all 0:19:26.660 --> 0:19:29.340 documents that they get asked for, they ever hand over. 0:19:29.420 --> 0:19:31.420 And then even when they do hand them over, there's 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.659 black lines across everything. Remember, this literally would be an 0:19:34.700 --> 0:19:36.800 example of, hey, can you give us some documents about 0:19:36.859 --> 0:19:39.500 how you came to this decision? Sure, here's the documents, 0:19:39.540 --> 0:19:44.310 but good luck reading them. Well, the past couple of days, 0:19:44.369 --> 0:19:47.560 the redacted documents game, the... House of Secrets that we 0:19:47.580 --> 0:19:49.930 live within is all to do with the Climate Change Minister. 0:19:50.580 --> 0:19:55.939 el presidente casanova chris bowen now as you know he 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.680 wanted to be the cop president and for the climate 0:19:59.700 --> 0:20:01.899 change meeting run by the united nations to happen in 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.400 adelaide it's not happening it's happening in turkey the consolation 0:20:04.420 --> 0:20:06.159 prize was that he gets to be some sort of 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.430 special roving president who gets to have Meetings with, among 0:20:09.470 --> 0:20:11.840 other specific, island nations. That, of course, playing out as 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.120 we speak in Fiji. It's going to cost a fair 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.859 amount of money. 20 million bucks when it comes to 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.320 the climate summit that apparently he's putting in place right now. Well, 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.370 guess what? You can't know anything about what's going on. 0:20:26.230 --> 0:20:28.629 The Labor government departments have blocked the release of a 0:20:28.670 --> 0:20:32.500 guest list about who is actually going to this thing. Now, 0:20:32.540 --> 0:20:35.000 the Prime Minister was very annoyed about this suggestion today, 0:20:35.060 --> 0:20:37.060 that no-one's turning up. He said, well, why don't you 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.070 count Australia? OK, cool, I'll count us, as in the 0:20:41.090 --> 0:20:44.409 Australian taxpayer who's paying for it. The, of course, purpose 0:20:44.430 --> 0:20:47.450 of this is just the consolation prize to Chris Bowen 0:20:47.470 --> 0:20:50.709 for not being able to hold the Global Summit, which 0:20:50.750 --> 0:20:53.790 will set the next round of climate targets, and for 0:20:53.830 --> 0:20:56.210 the Paris Accord to be known as the Adelaide Accord, 0:20:56.230 --> 0:21:01.210 instead it'll be the Turkia Accord. The government departments have 0:21:01.369 --> 0:21:05.090 rejected a coalition bid to expose who will attend the 0:21:05.109 --> 0:21:10.389 pre-cop event in Fiji. After Revelations climate minister Chris Bowen 0:21:10.450 --> 0:21:13.010 was struggling to lock in world leaders with a multi-million 0:21:13.030 --> 0:21:16.880 dollar gathering, opposition energy spokesperson Dan Tehan said the Prime 0:21:16.890 --> 0:21:20.119 Minister and Cabinet advised his team last week that it 0:21:20.150 --> 0:21:23.439 had a document referred to as an invitation list, but 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.550 it could not be shared. The document recorded confidential replies 0:21:27.609 --> 0:21:31.590 from countries, including indicators showing whether invitations are accepted, declined 0:21:31.750 --> 0:21:36.109 or still under consideration. In its correspondence with Mr Tehan, 0:21:36.230 --> 0:21:41.149 the department said documents that contained confidential information from foreign 0:21:41.190 --> 0:21:47.040 governments could not be released. It's the guest list. You 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:49.139 can't know who's going to turn up. You're paying for 0:21:49.180 --> 0:21:51.699 it anyway. You don't know who won't turn up and 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.830 you don't know who might turn up. Oh, but this 0:21:54.890 --> 0:21:57.330 is the culture of secrecy was so bad about the 0:21:57.369 --> 0:21:59.669 previous government. This is the current government with what you 0:21:59.690 --> 0:22:01.790 would imagine would be a great source of pride for them. 0:22:02.070 --> 0:22:04.960 Who's been invited? Who's turned them down? And why? Now, 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.720 of course, we know this Prime Minister, this Prime Minister, 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.240 doesn't even go to the cops when they're held overseas. Remember, 0:22:13.260 --> 0:22:15.659 that was a great outrage, whether or not Scott Morrison 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:19.379 would or wouldn't go. Well, of course, our point, CBF 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.710 sometimes when it comes to these things. As for Dantian, 0:22:23.730 --> 0:22:28.530 when he was asked about all of this, release of 0:22:28.550 --> 0:22:33.250 this information could reasonably be expected to undermine relationships with 0:22:33.330 --> 0:22:35.470 other countries. This is what was, by the way, written 0:22:35.790 --> 0:22:40.800 here to Dantian, and may adversely affect Australia's ability to 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.960 conduct future diplomatic engagement. This is the crap that we 0:22:44.020 --> 0:22:50.000 were fed. Can we go back? Can we play the 0:22:50.020 --> 0:22:52.119 little mega grab there of the Prime Minister and his 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.990 promise of transparency? When they get asked questions, oh, we'll 0:22:56.010 --> 0:22:57.810 take that on notice, they never really answer them. There's 0:22:57.830 --> 0:23:01.870 more than 1,000 questions waiting. And then at the state level, 0:23:01.950 --> 0:23:03.560
