WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 25 September 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:04.800 On scorn lits Australia. 0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:07.160 This is the Wader Panety Show. 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.480 Good evening and welcome to the Rita Paniy Show. Coming 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.960 up tonight, The unofficial Alliance between Labor and the Greens 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:19.000 understrain as Adam bad lashes out over mining approvals. 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:21.599 Fierce woman's rights campaigner Kelly J. 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.520 Keen on why Australia has become an outlier in uncritically 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.160 accepting the transagender. 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.240 And she'll also speak on Laura Demi's defamation trial. 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.600 She'll explain why she settled her case with Victoria and 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.120 the bully at John Persudo in Horror Weeks. We'll have 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.360 the latest from the US later in the hour, and 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.760 we never neglect your favorite segment tonight, an extended version 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.360 of Lefty's Losing It. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.440 How do you tell you how we heart there? Let 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:53.680 me show you how we take her there. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:04.920 Your fears today that the Albenzy government is contemplating breaking 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.479 an election promise after the Prime Minister refused. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.080 To rule out reports that Labor are. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:14.120 Considering Treasury recommended changes to negative gearing. 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.200 I've seen those reports and what we do is we 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.560 value the public service, so from time to time I'm sure, 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.920 the Public Service are looking at policy ideas. Will you 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:25.600 rule out. 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.080 Changes to the getting gearing and property cases this too? 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.160 Or East, Well, what we're doing is doing the legislation 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.720 that we had before the Senate, So I talk about 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.200 what we're doing, not what we're not doing. And what 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.960 we're doing is trying to get through that legislation. 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.920 This hint at a possible tax shaker prompted a quick 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:50.000 response from the Coalition. They pointed out how such changes 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.920 would spell trouble for millions of Australians. 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.560 If you remove a tax incentive from investors, it actually 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.280 discourages new supply into the system, and moreover, it can 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.400 push rents up because you'll find that people that are 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.040 using negative gearing once they have that tax incentive removed, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.560 compensate by raising raising rents. Why on earth the government 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.360 is considering this again is beyond me. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.160 These are quite remarkable revelations, but quite unsurprising that the 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.000 Albinezi government would be once again looking at tax grabs 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.760 at a time when they should instead be looking at 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.360 how to curtail inflation. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:31.800 Joining me now for more is Sky News contributor Gary Hardgrave. Gary, 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.119 surely labor would not go down this disastrous road. It's 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.560 been tried before, and it spells bad news for the 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.480 housing market. It's even worse news for renters. 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.799 You know, this is a model like to try and 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.400 Texas into prosperity. And I think we've actually discovered Elbow's 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.160 own personal protech twenty twenty five because he's using all 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:56.240 A couple of the Treasure Department says this, and this 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.160 is what we're doing. I tell you that there is 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.919 a real chance because they've got their on the intergenerational 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.480 wealth of the baby boomers, about forty trillion dollars are 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.440 going to pass from one generation to another overcoming years. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.760 Treasury wants a slice of it. They want a piece 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.880 of that. They will bring in inheritance taxes, death duties. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.320 Negative gearing is just the thin edge of the wedge 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.240 they've got planned. And look, I get it. 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:18.680 Reader. 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.239 Younger people look at it and say, how come Mum 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.359 and dad, grandparents have got a whole lot of money. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.560 It's because they've been working for forty or fifty years. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.040 They've accumulated stuff, they've done stuff. But if you take 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.080 people out of the provision of private rental, if you 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:33.960 take people out of the market. The price of rents 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.000 are just going to go up, so the Greens are 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.760 trying to create more misery. Elbow is just going along 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.160 with it because he's hapless, hopeless and has no ideas 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.040 of his own. And this bloke is I think when 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.480 he was with Joe Barden the other day it was 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.000 more than just the warmth of the handshake that passed 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.640 between the two, because he's adopted all of the sort 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.600 of bad bits of Biden, that sort of not knowing 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.880 where he is, what he's saying, not really sure about 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.560 what's going on, doesn't know how to run the country. Words, salad, 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.080 you name, it's all happening, Rita. This is politics in 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.960 Australia right now. We have to get government out of 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.840 our lives, not interfering more in our lives. And the 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.920 worst thing we can do is to take the private 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.560 sector out of the rental market, and that is really 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:14.640 what the Greens want to do. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.640 When you've got a housing shortage, which we have in 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:23.080 this country, why would you discourage investment in housing, which 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.839 is what these changes would do. Whether we're talking about 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.920 capital gains tax negative gearing. If you're getting the mom 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.360 and dad investors out of that market, you're just going 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.760 to see even less housing than before. 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.640 Add about it, we're all going to be in gray 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.440 Soviet style blocks if they have their way, and they 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.280 want us to be miserable. They want everything institutionalized. They 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.719 want big government, big corporations, big unions. They don't want 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.200 small and family businesses, and heavens, we don't want individuals 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.840 enterprising enough to go and find a bit of extra money. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.719 But d the thing about this whole private rental market 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.880 is it's not the rich that I own an investment house. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.000 It's the teachers. It's the fieries, the hoppers who've been 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.320 on the job long enough to accumulate a little bit 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.960 of wealth and then back themselves by burrowing against their 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.200 perspective income and then they make those houses available for rent. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.240 But the stupid state governments Victoria is one of the worst. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.359 Queensland's catching up. New South Wales is hopeless. They're bringing 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.560 all these rules and say, you know, if you want 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.279 to tear down the wall or the house you're renting 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:23.920 and put an elephant in the lounge room, you can 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.480 go ahead and do it and the owner can't say anything. 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.920 So they're trying to kill off the private rental sector. 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:29.920 It's really really wrong. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.359 Well, it's certainly working a treat here in Victoria. Land 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.240 tax has been a huge part of that equation. Land 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.240 tax rates have gone through the roof, So yeah, your 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.840 mum and dad investors are selling up and that is 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.840 forcing rents up because the pool of rental properties is diminishing. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.800 And we also have got to consider the long term consequences, 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.960 the impact on those who use property to build wealth, 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.560 so they're not a burden on the government in retirement 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.760 funded Do we really want to be hitting self funded 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:09.080 retirees again? Now let's move on to Labour's shoddy mining 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.400 approvals record. They've repeatedly drawn the ire of that sector, 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.960 but apparently that's still not good enough to satisfy the 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.400 Greens leader. Adam Band has now slammed a recent decision 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.599 by Labor to approve extensions for three coal mines in 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.800 New South Wales. A. Band has called it a betrayal 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.400 of everyone who voted for climate action and also claimed 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.120 that Labor has made the climate crisis even worse and Gary, 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:40.800 how's this for hysterical? Adam Band said, you can't put 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.960 the fire out if you're pouring petrol on it. There 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:48.360 you go, always sober analysis therefrom adam. Is this going 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.479 to put a strain on the unofficial coalition we have 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.960 between Labor and the Greens? The Greens seem to be 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.040 angry a lot of the time these days. 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.000 Yeah, but isn't it true that surely Labour's going to 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.240 put the Greens last on their preferences. So, in other words, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.320 the so called unofficial coalition. Surely if the Greens really 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.400 cared about Australia, they'd be putting you know, if the 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.240 Labour Party actually cared about Australia, they put the Greens last. Look, 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.480 they want it reliable, They want all of us relied 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.520 on government. They want us all on the government, to 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.080 eat government handout, be thankful to government. This has really 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.480 sent us to stuff. And it's not hysterical to talk 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.440 like this because if we don't call this stuff out now, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.440 these people are slowly but surely saying, oh, look we 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.440 care for the environment. That sounds really nice. I mean 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.360 I don't care for the environment too, But at what cost? 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.520 It's the question they never want to answer. And so 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.840 we need to use our coal resources and the projections 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.119 here in Queensland are We're going to dig more coal 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.720 out of the ground. We're going to dig more out 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.400 but we can't use it here. We send it to China, 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.320 we send it off to other places and so they 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.560 can use our coal to make stuff, and then they 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.040 send it back to us and we buy it a 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:59.080 full retail rate. We are crazy. We need cheap, reliable 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.760 baseload and did I say cheap? So cheap again? In fact, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.080 we need really cheap electricity to get our country moving again. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:10.160 Pretty simple, It is pretty simple. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.480 And it's a criminal that we've got some of the 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.480 highest energy costs in the world when we should have 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.240 the lowest. That should be rock bottom with the natural 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:19.920 resources we're blessed with. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:21.600 Now. 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.840 Student debt is an issue. It's a sawt to over 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.840 eighty one billion dollars due to the rising cost of 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:33.160 degrees indexation. It's added another three point four billion to 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:37.120 the outstanding loan total last financial Yet this means that 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.840 graduates are taking longer to pay back their student loans. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.760 Gary and Tax Office Starter shows that the federal government 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.040 is already writing off hundreds of millions of dollars in 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.560 student debt, and it plans to write off another two 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:56.240 point two billion, and if that's taxpayer money, and I 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.600 do question what all this debt is for. Of course, 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:04.120 they're very useful degrees to be studied, but we have 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.520 so many junk degrees that really don't qualify the graduate 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:13.040 for anything that cost the taxpayers a fortune, and they 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.920 sell false hope to the student as well. 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:19.679 Yeah, and I think in a lot of ways, some 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.240 of these degrees become remedial therapy for people who are 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.760 just bored in life because they know they after they 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.880 finished the degree, they just can ping off overseas and 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.120 have a gap year which lasts for five and they 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.280 never pay the debt back. So look, spare me. I 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.200 was one of the first people to ever go into 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.079 the X scheme. I studied part time from nineteen eighty 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.960 seven onwards, so I was one of the first people 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.560 to ever pay HEX. And yes I was working part time. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.480 I was working, and so I was studying part time. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.520 So I paid my debt off I think three or 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.960 four percent of my income. In fact, I think I 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.040 overpaid it. They had to send me a refund at 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.400 one stage. You know, little steps along the way. If 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.960 you pay it off gradually, it's good. I know, others 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.679 who say, you know, what's the debt for this year 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.400 going to well, I'm going to work my tail off 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.360 over Christmas. I'm going to come up with the money upfront. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.720 I get a discount for paying the hex the contribution 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.000 to the overall cost of education early. So what about 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.439 those people, people who actually have paid their debt off, 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.120 people who saved up the money, paid the stuff up front. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.440 You know, they really should be even more angry than 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.720 you and I as taxpayers, are eighty one billion dollars 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.400 of people who are basically bludging off the rest of us. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.880 Get on with the business of earning money out of 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.160 the degree. If your degree was worth anything, you should 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.520 be earning more than the average. Go and get that 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.120 money and pay your debt off, paid off faster than 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.840 you're required. I just for the life and me don't 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.360 understand it. It's lousy, But I really worry that Labor 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.560 and the Greens at that unofficial coalition you talk about 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.920 will want to do a Joe Biden and will want 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.040 to pay and forgive those debts. And that's going to 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.800 cost all of us. Older people are living in misery, 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.839 paying more for power, and we're going to give these 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.800 people who shirk their responsibility to pay off their debt 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.600 a free pass that is just wrong, but typical of labor. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:03.520 Typical of labor. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.680 Well, you need to be earning just over fifty four 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.080 thousand per annum to start making any sort of payments 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:11.720 on HEX. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.160 So someone. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.200 You can earn money, just start paying. You know, I 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:18.839 don't get it. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.800 Oh, you can always opt to paid earlier. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:26.880 But the compulsory payment where they deducted from your salaries 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.400 starts off at just over fifty four thousand. So if 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.920 you're working part time or if you're working casually, you 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.200 can avoid paying it. If if you don't want to 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.200 engage in full time work, now before you go. This 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:45.400 is another bombshell story from Victoria with the builders of 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.520 the Northeast Link, the most expensive road in Victorian history. 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.840 There's allegations they've been coerced by the CFM ANDU into 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.880 hiring casual workers earning three hundred thousand dollars per annum 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:02.000 to operate gantry cranes on the project instead of using 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:06.560 full time employees who a special Northeast Link pay deal 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.600 would have covered. So that anyone to gary that this 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.280 state is broke. The biggest state debt in the country, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.000 and we've got projects running late, running over budget. This 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:24.800 particular road, No Northeast Link started off costing fifteen point 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.199 eight billion, which I would have thought was plenty. Already 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:32.080 it's already blown up to twenty six billion, and god, 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.480 who knows we're all end up. 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.800 Well, they've institutionalized the same kind of approach in Queensland, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.440 for instance. So Victoria's debt is bad, Queensland's debts just 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.960 as bad. The capita they say, probably worse, but nevertheless 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:50.280 they've institutionalized that thirty to forty percent additional costs associated 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.560 with building stuff in Queensland, and so people are building 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.160 stuff in Victoria and New South Wales in particular because 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.080 it's actually you're going to get banged for your buck. 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.800 But they are now to see if MEU are now 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.080 saying to private companies, if you don't hire a union person, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.240 if you don't follow our rules and pay it the 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.079 thirty to forty percent above the rack rate, we won't 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.839 allow you to get any work here. So companies are 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.719 making decisions. They're going elsewhere. They're going to South Australia, 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.600 to Western Australia. They're just getting the heck out, and 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.560 some are not even bidding for jobs. We've got sixty 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.240 thousand house sites sitting there waiting for someone to start 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.680 building on in Southeast Queensland. That's the figure today that 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.079 I was given sixty thousand, but they can't find anybody 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.320 to build it because all of these added on costs. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.720 So Victoria is the place to flee, it really is. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.200 That's what the number plate should read, Victoria the place 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.400 to flee. I just hope the Lines win on Saturday. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.840 That's all I care about now, reader, are. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.000 You coming down for a Gary? 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:51.199 Only? 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:57.000 In my heart and my mind? I will speak spiritually there, reader, spiritually. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:58.640 You know what people think it's going to be easy 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.040 to get a Grand Final ticket because it's a Sydney 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.720 Brisbane It's not. It's going to be just as hard 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.800 as any other Grand Final. But I'm with you. I'm 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:11.720 all in on Brisbane, especially after the hell they dragged 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.840 Chris Fagan through for the last couple of years. I 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.920 really hope he comes out as the premiership coach. Gary Hardgrave, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.480 thank you so much for your time this evening. 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:21.680 Cheers reader. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.200 Women's rights activists and Party of Women leader Kelly J. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.760 Keen is set to return to Australia alongside the annual 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:34.320 Conservative Political Action Conference SEAPAC, which is being held in 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.040 Brisbane early next month, but already there's a petition to 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:42.680 ban her from even entering the country, with the Transjustice 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:47.920 Project claiming she represents a threat to Australia's social cohesion. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.720 Joining me now is the woman herself, Kelly j Keen Kelly? 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.800 Are you a threat to our social cohesion? Why is 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.320 the left so terrified of a petite blonde do with 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.560 a sound knowledge of biology? 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.400 Well, thank you very much for saying petite. I have 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.280 no idea why. Maybe it's because they're so used to 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.960 being able to be completely dishonest with the public. Maybe 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.400 they don't want people to just plainly say that a 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.080 woman is an adult human female and I say it 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.840 without hesitation or any shame, and so perhaps that concerns 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.120 him someone, Now. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:34.160 How do you view the state of women's rights in 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.160 this country? 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.480 And is that going to be a focus of your 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.000 speech at Seapack. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:40.200 One. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.040 I mean, it's it's some fathom of all really, how 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.640 insane Australia is when it comes to women's rights. That 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.760 lesbian group can't meet because they won't involve men. That 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:57.120 somebody can't have a female only app because they have 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.880 to include men. I mean, I just don't think Australia 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.000 not recognizing what a woman was was on my bingo 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.760 card for this decade. But there we are. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.960 Well, we also seem to be quite an outlier when 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:17.040 it comes to the affirmation model and how it applies 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.120 to under eighteens. Most of the world, including the UK, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.240 have recognized the harms of this model, but here in 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.440 Australia there's not even a review being undertaken. 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:29.320 No. 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:35.080 I mean, I think, I think it's just beyond the 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:41.080 pale that any country is sterilizing children and maybe the 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.880 general public don't recognize it. Maybe that's another reason that 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:49.160 people bear me arriving in Australia, because I will keep 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.880 talking about it. It has to be said, and it has 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.040 to be said in the most simple terms that sterilizing 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.920 children is eugenics and it's absolutely a boring and bubba. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.960 I think in a few years time, we'll be going 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.919 to look back at this period and marvel at the 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.800 number of people who back this, and they're going to 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.080 have to explain themselves. 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.399 Now, you were assaulted. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.280 Again when a man poured a can of tomato soup 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.600 on your head while you were campaigning in Sheffield over 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.320 the weekend. He was chased down and apprehended by one 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.000 of your supporters and then arrested. Isn't the first time 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:33.240 you've been physically attacked. We won't soon forget those scenes 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.920 in New Zealand where you were attacked and also you 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.880 had a tomato soup poured on you. Why do these 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:45.640 activists feel entitled to become violent when you challenge their worldview? 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.639 Well, because they haven't been challenged correctly from people in 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:56.359 possessions of power, and they've successfully managed to silence swimmen 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:01.000 and so you know these expressions like silencesviolence and words 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.680 of violence, and you know, everything's violence apart from actual violence, 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:09.920 which is fully justified. It's completely fine to assault women, 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.680 to come out and say, you know, we just don't 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.240 want you h men, you violent men in our spaces. 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:21.479 And to totally counter my point, they behave aggressively and 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.280 violently try and persuade us women just to be quiet 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:26.840 and allow them wherever they want to go. 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.560 They seem to be desperate to prove your point more 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.960 often than not that I don't think they think through 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.680 these actions are perceived by the general public. 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:39.520 I wanted to get your. 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:44.920 Thoughts on the upcoming US presidential election. How consequential will 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.199 that election be for women's rights in the US and beyond. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:54.720 Well, it's huge, and I've received much criticism for saying 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:59.600 that I think the absolute fundamental issue for women as 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.880 being able to be recognized as women in law and 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:09.760 in all strata of government. And so my flag is 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.000 and my vote would go to Donald Trump if I 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.680 was voting in the election. Kamala Harris has shown time 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:20.600 and time again that she's willing to totally be dishonest 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.840 on this issue. She's willing to pay for prisoners to 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.720 have a so called sexory assignment surgery. It's her government 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.639 that has poured more and more rapists, more men into 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.840 women's prisons, and they've had they've had like weeks at 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.920 the White House where they promote the transitioning of children. 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.080 So I think her getting in be an end of 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.040 many rights for women. And I think Donald Trump is 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.760 the only hope we've got. And he's obviously America. What 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.239 happens in America impacts all of us, and so I 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.120 really do believe he's we hoped. 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:00.679 Well. 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:06.199 Kamala Harris's history, particularly in California, speaks for itself. She 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:11.760 has advocated for having taxpayer funds devoted to sex change 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:16.640 operations for criminals and housing men in women's prisons if 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.760 they identify as women. All of that is as established, 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.480 but the Democrats do have a massive support base amongst 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:31.800 unmarried women are infamously called childless cat ladies. What is 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.520 your message to this demographic, because a lot of them 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:40.040 look at the Democrats as being pro women, What would 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.120 you say to them to have them rethink that position. 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:45.680 Well, I don't know. 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.840 How many of those women are childless or have cats, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.320 but I do know that there is a large number 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.520 of women in the United States who just believes the 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.920 mantra that the only women's rights that matter are reproductive rights, 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:04.159 and they just believe the media lies, which is that 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:09.360 it will be banned under Republicans. My view is, if 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.360 that is your number one issue, and I totally understand it. 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.399 But if that is your number one issue, then you 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.240 have to ask yourself, will you even be able to 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.280 talk about this issue in four years time if you 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.800 can't legally be recognized as a woman, And will those 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.040 men who want to be recognized as a woman for 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:31.080 which reproductive rights are not important at all, Will they 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.160 co opt your entire movement. I mean that you can't 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.320 even talk about reproductive rights unless you are talking about 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:41.040 the rights of couples to have, whether they're gay couples 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.680 or straight couples, to have surrogates that will become reproductive rights. 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.639 You won't be able to talk about abortion anyway, and 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:52.600 you certainly won't have anything that's legitimately described as women's rights. 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:58.280 And just finally more, a Deemings defamation case against Victorian 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.800 liberal leader John Pusuno is underwe here in Melbourne. You 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.800 settled your case with mister Pursuito earlier. 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:05.880 In the year. 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.280 Some argued that you settled for too little. Have you 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.200 got any regrets about that? And why did you come 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:13.000 to that decision? 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:18.280 Well, look, these legal cases absorb a lot of time 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.320
