<v Speaker 1>On Scorn Louds Australia.

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 2>This is the reader Panety Show.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 3>Good evening and welcome to the REATA Pannecky show coming

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 3>up tonight. Premier disenter Alan jard at the Bush Summitt

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 3>in Bendigo. Why will locals in our own electorate fed

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 3>up with the Victorian premieur speak to doctor Joanna Howe

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 3>about the disturbing, chilling testimony of a brave nurse who

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 3>detailed how Australian newborns who are unwanted are treated in

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 3>our hospitals. We'll bring you the latest from the US

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 3>with James Morrow.

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 4>And we always leave a little time.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 3>For lefties losing it. Even the lefties are mocking the Democrats.

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 5>The Democrats and people who prosecuted sexual predators and.

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now a Sky News contributor prove mcswede prove.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Victorian Premier just Inter Allen was at the Bush Summit

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 3>in Bendigo, her electorate and it didn't go well. She

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 3>gave a lengthy speech, but then she was heckled by

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 3>locals furious with the high cost of energy and the

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>manner in which renewable projects are impacting their communities.

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 6>It also provides not just a more secure form of energy.

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 6>It's a cheaper form of energy. We're nearly at forty percent.

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 6>So how do we get excuse ladies and generains.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 3>What are we going to do to get this sector well?

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Jameson of the.

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 6>Community, with respect to the audience, I am going to

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 6>finish that sentence. Victoria has the lowest amongst the lowest

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 6>wholesale energy prices in the national energy market.

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 3>National Senator Bridget McKenzie was also at the Bush summit

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 3>and she responded to Premier Allan's claims.

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 7>For the Premier to sit in this town and tell

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 7>this audience on the TV and in this room that

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 7>being serious about climate change means you need to.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 8>Trash our ability.

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 7>To produce food in this country, I think says everything

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 7>you need to know about the Labor Party. If you

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 7>want to be a prosperous, sustainable and sovereign country in

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 7>twenty ninety, you're not going to do it with wind

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 7>and solar renewables. You're going to do it with a

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 7>baslow power generation that is net zero emissions like nuclear

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 7>power generation.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Prue. This is a huge issue in regional areas throughout

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 3>the country where they're not being consulted. When they are consulted,

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 3>their views are disregarded and they're having these projects inflicted

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 3>on their communities. And as an Australian, I don't live

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 3>in the bush, but I do travel around the country,

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 3>and the damage being done to the natural environment, never

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 3>mind the cost of it, is a I just wonder

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 3>if city people don't really know what's happening out there,

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 3>and once they find out, I think they're going to

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 3>be just as furious at the damage being done to

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 3>our beautiful countryside.

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you, Rita. You know, the Regional Australia.

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Regional Australia has been the poor cousin of the city

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>slickers for so long, but it's great to see that

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>they're now starting to become more vocal. I mean, they're

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:32.239
<v Speaker 1>not buying this clap trap that this government and all

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the labor governments are selling, which of course is that

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>renewable story. The narrative just doesn't work. They're seeing with

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>their own eyes how the environment is being destroyed, how

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>they have been relegated to second class citizens, that they

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>can't even afford to produce because of the cost of energy,

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and the fact that their farms in a lot of

0:03:54.960 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>cases are being decimated, you know, obtained by the government

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>for the environment, and then they plow through kilometers of

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Christine Environment great agricultural land to put in their transmission lines.

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's happening in the bush. But I think also

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing as we did in Northern Territory, and we'll

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>see in Queensland. I think Australians generally are onto the

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>scam and it won't be long before labor will learn

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>a very hard lesson. But of course in the meantime

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they're ruining this country and the economy.

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, I can tell you I was there in Bendigo

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 3>this morning. The crowd listened politely for quite a length

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 3>of time to the speech and then the interview that

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 3>we saw a little bit of there. But when she

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 3>started talking about this is a cheaper form of energy,

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 3>I think it was just it was all they could

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 3>cope with. And I don't blame a few of them

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 3>for making their feelings known because they've been ignored. This

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>is what what we keep hearing, that they are actually

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 3>voicing their opinions, and those opinions they don't care about

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 3>it that the city slickers come in. They've got a

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 3>plan and they implemented and the locals are really they're

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.239
<v Speaker 3>treated like a nuisance. Now let's go to the UK.

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 3>A woman in London is fighting for her life in

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 3>hospital after being one of three people stabbed actually Nottinghill Carnival.

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 3>Former Scotland Yard detective Mike Neville said the notting Hill

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Carnival is the ultimate example of two tier policing that've

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 3>had lots of problems at this particular event over the years.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 3>There's allegations offices are too scared to make arrests or

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 3>check for weapons at the Caribbean Carnival for fear of

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 3>looking racist. The same goes for segments of the media.

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 4>It has to be said, prou.

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Here is a report from sky News UK last hour.

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 9>They've given us an update that they've made thirty eight

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 9>arrests and recovered four knives and they said a man

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 9>believed to be in his twenties has been stabbed. His

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.919
<v Speaker 9>injuries are not life threatening, but overall it's been a

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 9>really peaceful and enjoyable.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Day for people, mostly peaceful stabbing Prough. I mean, it's

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 3>almost a comedy routine, but they just have got this

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 3>approach where they were treated very differently. If the ethnic

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>background of those party goers was different. How did the

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 3>UK get here? May mean this is just racist, is

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 3>what it is. You can call it reverse racism, positive discrimination,

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 3>it's all the same thing.

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 8>It's racism.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Well we're seeing it here too, Reta. I mean in UK,

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, we've seen so much tolerance by the police

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>turning a blind eye to what's going on with all

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the protests and they're concerned about allegations of racism or

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>racial profiling. They're racially motivated protests and this is the

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>problem that we're seeing it here in Australia and around

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the world, where police tiptoe around it, and you know,

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>it all comes down to the question of whether there

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>is enough ability to integrate in these countries anymore. With

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>this alarming amount of immigration, the are porous borders that

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>people who live in the West are wondering how these

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>cultures are ever going to blend and live in harmony.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 3>All they need to do is just treat everybody the same,

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 3>So you just apply the law and you don't make

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 3>special compensations for people because of their background. I mean,

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 3>that is the least we should be expecting from authorities,

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 3>including the police force. But You're right, we're seeing signs

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 3>of it right here Australia and should it be stamped

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 3>out very quickly. Let's talk about the ABC. We're getting

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 3>an insight into what led to the resignation of Managing

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 3>director David Anderson. The Australian reports Anderson had a difference

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 3>of opinion with ABC check Kim Williams over the recent

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Four Corners investigation into the workplace culture at seven seven networker.

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Multiple sources told The Australian that Williams expressed a view

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 3>that the episode, fronted by investigative reporter Louise Milligan, failed

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 3>to meet the high editorial standards of Four Corners. Mister

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Anderson and his Director of News and Current Affairs, Justin Stevens,

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 3>thought otherwise, well, Anderson.

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 8>Is gone or going?

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.319
<v Speaker 3>What do you make of this development?

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, having seen Kim Williams in action before, I found

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it really interesting and refreshing that this government appointed him

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 1>to that position because he wouldn't tolerate the nonsenses going

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.959
<v Speaker 1>on in the ABC. And yeah, he was very quick

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to specify what the rules the new order was going

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 1>to be and from that, of course, David Anderson was

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>a dead man walking as will probably some of the

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>so called stars of the ABC, who I think feel

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that they are born to rule and that it's their

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>way or the highway for anyone who wants to change it.

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Kim William Williams is a force to be reckoned with.

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>So I think it will be fascinating to see what

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>happens and how this unfolds. But we may be as

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>taxpayers starting to get more bang for our buck down

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the track.

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 3>I think you're getting very optimistic there proof. I think

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 3>the ABC is by the staff for the staff, and

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 3>I think in the end they always get their way. Now,

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 3>this is a worrying story, not surprising. Afghanistan under the

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Taliban continues to be a horror show for women. They're

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.559
<v Speaker 3>now banning women from even looking at a man who

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 3>she's not related to, and girls remain banned from secondary school.

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 10>Afghan women are now banned from showing their faces or

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 10>speaking out loud in public, and they can't even look

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 10>at a man that they're not related to. It's part

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 10>of a new law passed by the Taliban, the hardline

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 10>Islamic group that has ruled Afghanistan since Western forces left

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 10>in twenty twenty one. The rules say a woman must

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 10>cover her body and face in public to avoid tempting others.

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 10>They also ban women from singing or reading aloud in

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 10>public and make it illegal for anyone to play music through.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 3>The Taliban claim that this new set of laws is

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 3>going to promote virtue.

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, the patriarchy is alive and well and thriving,

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>not just in the Middle East, which is more like

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the Middle Ages as we know, but also in the West.

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>This oppression of these women in the Middle East is

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>just so distressing, but it is part of their culture

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and I cannot see you know now the Western forces

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>left what in twenty twenty one, leaving billions of dollars.

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>This was Biden, of course, leaving all this million, multimillion

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>dollar equipment for them to avail themselves of. And we

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>of course are seeing here in Australia women are being oppressed.

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:41.199
<v Speaker 1>They're being denied their actual female the feminine biological birthright

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.119
<v Speaker 1>these days. So it's alive and well and thriving throughout

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the world. But you obviously feel very sad for these

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>women in Afghanistan, These young girls who can't go to school,

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>have no real future, while Talaban are in power and

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that America or any of the Western

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>countries would have the fortitude or willingness to step in

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and try and change it now and prove.

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 3>One of the things that has always appalled me about

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 3>the feminist movement, the modern feminist movement, not only are

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 3>they not standing with women in the West who are

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 3>fighting for their sex based rights, trying to protect their sports,

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:29.239
<v Speaker 3>their areas where the we're talking about change rooms, shelters,

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 3>websites that might want to be women only, but they're

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 3>not doing anything to really advocate for the most oppressed

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 3>women in the world, and that is the ones who

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 3>are living under Islam, where they are second class citizens,

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 3>they are systematically subjugated. You look at the treatment of

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 3>women in Afghanistan and you don't see rallies, you don't

0:12:55.679 --> 0:13:00.960
<v Speaker 3>see efforts to put pressure on that government to have boycotts.

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 3>It just doesn't seem to be top of mind for

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 3>the Sisterhood.

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think the Sisterhood's very selective, aren't they about

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>who they will advocate for, and very much pick and choose.

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>But you're right, the world's standing by appalled at what

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing. But whether they think it's just too hard

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Biden and the West tried to take on well clear

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.559
<v Speaker 1>out the Taliban, but of course cut and run and

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 1>empowered them even more.

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Pre McSween thanks for your time tonight. This year's Naplan

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 3>results revealed one in three Australian students are failing to

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 3>meet basic proficiency benchmarks, with nearly half a million pupils

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 3>requiring intervention to help them catch up. Joining me now

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 3>is the IPA's national manager of that class action program,

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 3>Colleen Harken. Colleen Education Unions and more than one state

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 3>education minister says the answer to this is more funding.

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Is that how you say it?

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 11>No, Look, in the last fifteen years, the budget for

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 11>education has more than doubled, so we're at seventy nine

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 11>billion dollars a year now, and in that same period

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 11>our results have gone backwards. So a teenager, a fifteen

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 11>year old is now about fourteen or fifteen months behind

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 11>where they were sixteen years ago. So money is actually

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 11>clearly not the issue. What really needs to happen is

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 11>an address of how the teachers are taught. IPA's research

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 11>shows it about a year and a third of an

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 11>university teacher training course is full of woke decolonization, all

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 11>of that sort of stuff. So the teacher has not

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 11>been trained properly to do the job that they're supposed

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 11>to be able to do, and explicit teaching is not

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 11>being a focus. So it's the effect of money versus

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 11>results is not there. What actually has to happen is

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 11>an address of where the problem starts and that doesn't

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 11>cost money, that will actually save us money.

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 3>But we've known this for so long I think anyone

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 3>who is not a leftist activist would acknowledge the curriculum

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 3>is a problem. It has just been hijacked by social

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 3>engineering and politics and isn't really focused on academic excellence.

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 3>But how do we do something about it because we

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 3>had a supposedly conservative federal government in for decade and

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 3>didn't really do much to fix the curriculum.

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 11>No, and the national curriculum actually specifically states that Aboriginal

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 11>and Torres Straate Island's history and culture and sustainability are

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 11>the priorities. Yeah, it doesn't state that children learning to

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 11>read and write and be competent and not have a

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 11>third of the nation's children. Failing that doesn't sort of

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 11>seem to be that the message is not getting through.

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 3>And the contentious, divisive activism that is pushed onto vulnerable children,

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 3>impressionable children, often with their parents really ignorant. A lot

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 3>of parents don't know what's happening in the classroom. Of

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 3>course they speak to their kids. I might see the

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 3>homework they're doing, but the day to day content of

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 3>their curriculum. I think a lot of people would be

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 3>shocked by just how political it is when you'd expect

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 3>them just to be taught facts and how to think

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 3>about things critically rather than what to think.

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely, most parents would be quite unaware of what their

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 11>children are being taught. And that's because what they call

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 11>the cross curriculum priorities, that it is mandated that there's

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 11>no subject that's called ideology or colonization or climate emergency,

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 11>but it's embedded into every subject, at every year level,

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 11>at every opportunity. And no young child is going to

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 11>come home and say, I learned how to count today

0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 11>through aboriginal dance. But that's actually what's happening. And the

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 11>parents who do, who are alluded to this, are actually

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 11>finding out after the damage has already been done, When

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 11>young children as young as five and six are going

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 11>home crying about the Stolen Generation, for example, and they've

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 11>been taught that within reading or within equity inclusion and

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.440
<v Speaker 11>all these sorts of things. So it's highly politicized, or.

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 3>They're needing psychological care because they have climate anxiety. I've

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 3>spoken to child's psychologists about this. They actually treat kids

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 3>who should be well. They are the most privileged, luckiest

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 3>kids in the world really to be living in Australia

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 3>at a time of peace and prosperity, but their mental

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 3>health is damaged because they're basically told the world's ending

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 3>and them and everyone they love is going to die.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 12>It is just.

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's borderline child abuse if you ask me. Now,

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.359
<v Speaker 3>I want to ask you about this University of Melbourne

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 3>study that has found some classroom layouts, including the very

0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 3>fashionable open classroom model, well it's apparently negatively affecting literacy.

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 3>The lead researcher, Professor Gary Rand, said he was shocked

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 3>by the strength of the findings and the clear difference

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 3>in academic achievement between the two settings. So sixty five

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 3>percent of the kids developed their literacy at a faster

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 3>rate when they were in an enclosed classroom. So the

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.640
<v Speaker 3>results were very really quite striking and surprising. He said,

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 3>this is pretty compelling data. What percentage of classrooms do

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 3>we know are this open plan model? Because I know

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.880
<v Speaker 3>it is fashionable and popular.

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, so it's a i'll call it a fad that's

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.719
<v Speaker 11>been around for decades and it's based on an allegiance

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 11>to a flawed ideology that children are actually the masters

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 11>of their own learning. So this inquiry learning sort of

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 11>scenario where you sit around in groups and there might

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 11>be multiple groups and multiple classrooms. Some of these classrooms

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 11>have up to one hundred children Oh great in them,

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 11>and I mean we've all been in busy restaurants and

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 11>shopping centers that make it very difficult to hear, and

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 11>how exhausting that is, and how exhausting it is to concentrate.

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 11>And what's really interesting is most of these open playing

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 11>classrooms are found with young children whose auditory skills are

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.880
<v Speaker 11>still developing and they don't even yet have the language

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.719
<v Speaker 11>skills to fill the gaps if they didn't hear. So

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 11>that research has there's been you know, research previously, but

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.879
<v Speaker 11>that's a Melbourne based one and again it reinforces the

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 11>fact that these environments are not helpful to the children

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 11>in those classrooms.

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this whole student led teaching is recipe for failure. Now,

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:46.160
<v Speaker 3>a review into the future of Victoria's into school sporting

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 3>program is underway, aiming to shift the focus away from

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 3>year round team sports and competitions things like football and rowing,

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:58.200
<v Speaker 3>and instead focus more on things like yoga and plati is.

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 3>The Associated Public c School's sporting program is seeking to

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 3>remove heightened senses of competition amongst private schools by embracing

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 3>more recreational sports and activities. Calling this one has got

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:16.159
<v Speaker 3>parents at private schools fired up like nothing else. What

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 3>do you make of this?

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 11>And understandably because parents who choose to send their children

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 11>to an independent school they know well ahead that Saturday

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:29.719
<v Speaker 11>morning sport is part of the deal. And it's been

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 11>known for a long time sporting activity is good for

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 11>mental health and physical health, and that there's a lot

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 11>to be learned from competitive sport, resilience, team effort, failure,

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 11>all of those sorts of you know, good skills, expl

0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.400
<v Speaker 11>turning up to correcting, being on the getting out of bed,

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 11>no off you go. So they're all terrific skills. But

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 11>what this is really interesting is it's an example of

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 11>another breakdown of social cohesion, because what these schools do

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 11>very well is build a sense of positive community spirit.

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 11>Children who go out of these schools love to represent

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 11>their school. Where there's school colors, they go and support

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.159
<v Speaker 11>each other. You see it all the time in the

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 11>people don't like to refer to it, but the old

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 11>boys they love it right. So they're building a positive

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.640
<v Speaker 11>framework about their community. And this is just an example

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.679
<v Speaker 11>of breaking down that social cohesion.

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I just do not see the upside. I don't know

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 3>why they would even contemplate this. There's a plenty of downside.

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 3>And you know, at the end of the day, if

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 3>there's a particular kid who doesn't want to participate, then

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.920
<v Speaker 3>that's a choice the family can make. But like you said,

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.159
<v Speaker 3>you send your kids to these schools partly because of

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 3>the sporting programs and everything that brings to a child's life.

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Colleen har Can thank you so much for your time.

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 3>It's no problem still to come. Left is losing it

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 3>and lies, damn lies, and the Democrats. James Morrow will

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 3>be here to unhappily later to make.

0:21:56.840 --> 0:22:07.120
<v Speaker 8>Years welcome back.

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Now it's time for lefties losing it. Let's start lefties

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 3>with a little frivolity, and you know, despite the North

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Korean style media campaign, the Democrats are in trouble when

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 3>even John Stewart is mocking the DNC and he's lefty

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 3>crowd are lapping it up.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.919
<v Speaker 5>They had a guy yelling screw the billionaires.

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 13>Followed immediately by a very happy billionaire.

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 5>It's all okay.

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 10>If it's our billionaire.

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:42.720
<v Speaker 3>They had guys.

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 10>Making fun of people for going to Yale, and a

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 10>bunch of people who.

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Went to Yale.

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 13>The Democrats had people who prosecuted sexual predators.

0:22:54.119 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And that was actually funny. I'm as shocked as anybody now.

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure what this next clip is, but I

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 3>find it weird and wrong. Can we stop trying to

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 3>sexualize kids? Just who is this aimed at?

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 8>I am gay? Are your name? And if not, would

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 8>you like to.

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 14>Try to be gay?

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 2>We're taking new applications and it's really fun.

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 14>You get magical powers and free honey buns. Your mom

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.879
<v Speaker 14>is gay and so is your dad.

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.040
<v Speaker 10>If you're not gay, it's.

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Really too bad, weird, weird. You'll remember the infamous reporting

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:53.199
<v Speaker 3>from CNN claiming that the BLM riots were fiery but

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 3>mostly peaceful. What's more, peaceful than entire buildings destroyed. But

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 3>over in the UK they are also borrowing from this playbook.

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 9>And in the last hour they've given us an update

0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 9>that they've made thirty eight arrests and recovered four knives,

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 9>and they said a man believed to be in his

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:14.879
<v Speaker 9>twenties has been stabbed. His injuries are not life threatening,

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 9>but overall it's been a really peaceful and enjoyable date.

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Mostly peaceful and enjoyable. Stabbings wonderful, and guess what, there

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 3>are a couple more stabbings later that day. Now to

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 3>more words lefties losing it want to ban by deeming

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 3>them racist akin to using the N word. It won't

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 3>surprise you that the list is utterly ridiculous and designed

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 3>to protect race bats and DEI advocates from criticism.

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 15>Ten ways you say the N word without seeing the

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 15>N word. If you use any of these terms or

0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:50.959
<v Speaker 15>phrases in reference to black people, you are just as

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 15>racist as the person that actually uses the N word.

0:24:54.680 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 15>Here are the words doug, ghetto, welfare, queen, lazi, spader,

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:04.440
<v Speaker 15>race scrifter, threatening, angry, dangerous, or you say that we're

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 15>playing the victim, or we are a diversity higher. What

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 15>you actually mean to say is the N word. Just

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 15>stop it. If you say these words are phrases, you

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 15>were calling us the N word. If you say these

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 15>ignorant racist terms or phrases around your children, you're also

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 15>teaching your children to be racist, just like you.

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Now, more lefties losing it with my next guess. We

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 3>heard a lot of lies of the DNC, from Biden

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:33.439
<v Speaker 3>repeating the fine People hoax again, to Kamala's Pinocchio performance,

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:38.360
<v Speaker 3>to Michelle Obama telling the crowd Trump wants to outlaw IVF,

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 3>but Trump seems to climb.

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:46.240
<v Speaker 7>Otherwise taking away our freedom to control our bodies, the

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 7>freedom to become a mother through iv F, Like I.

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:52.439
<v Speaker 5>Did, we want to make it easier for mothers and

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 5>families to have babies, not harder. That includes supporting the

0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:02.160
<v Speaker 5>availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every state in America.

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:07.120
<v Speaker 5>Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, including the vast majority

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 5>of Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, and pro life Americans, I strongly

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 5>support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 5>to have a precious baby.

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is Guy News, host of The US Report.

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Am I Outsider's co host James Morrow. James, there was

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 3>a great deal of victriol at the Democratic National Convention,

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.400
<v Speaker 3>a lot of lies. But what sort of a boost

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 3>did it give the Democrats? And who do I believe there?

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Because I'm hearing two very different accounts about the Republican

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 3>stance on IVF and Donald Trump's stance on IVF.

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, Donald Trump laid it out right there.

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 2>And there's this whole thing that the Democrats are trying

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>to lean into, this idea that the Republicans have some

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 2>whole plan to ban abortion, that Donald Trump's a huge

0:26:56.800 --> 0:27:00.479
<v Speaker 2>social conservative on that score. I mean, if you look

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 2>at Donald Trump in his personal life, you know, I

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 2>just don't think that he's a kind of a medal

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 2>in the bedroom with government kind of guy. But the

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 2>thing is that the Democrats, they are leading very much

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 2>into the whole abortion reproductive rights issue simply because for them,

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 2>they've decided to rebrand themselves as a party of freedom.

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:23.360
<v Speaker 2>And yet this is literally the only thing where they

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.160
<v Speaker 2>want to remove restrictions on anything. You know, the Democrats

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 2>are all about creating new rules, new bureaucracies, new restrictions

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:34.439
<v Speaker 2>on all sorts of human activities. I mean, you know,

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:37.479
<v Speaker 2>right down to you know, the showerhead you use and

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:39.320
<v Speaker 2>what you use to cook your food and what car

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 2>you drive to work and all of this sort of thing.

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 2>So there's a real double game they're playing there. And

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:47.120
<v Speaker 2>the thing is they can get away though, with these

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of lives about what the GOP platform is because

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:54.639
<v Speaker 2>they are not being fact checked on this at all.

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 2>The President care the press is carrying water for them,

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>and they say, oh, well, you know, like whatever, our

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 2>job now is to get Harris over the line.

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 3>That seems to be the number one priority for the

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:11.360
<v Speaker 3>overwhelming majority of the US media. They're not even shy

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 3>about it. It's North Korean style antics. Really, it's this

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 3>sort of thing you would expect from state media in

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:22.160
<v Speaker 3>North Korea. Now let's talk about Robert F. Kennedy endorsing Trump.

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm still unsure about what this will mean for the

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Trump campaign, and I don't think you can expect to

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:33.479
<v Speaker 3>see all his supporters simply switching to Trump. Maybe I

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.680
<v Speaker 3>know some of them won't even bother voting. But before

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 3>I get your analysis, let's listen to Kennedy explain why

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 3>he left the Democrats.

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 14>It'll become the Party of war, censorship, corruption, big farmer,

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 14>big tech, big egg and big money. Wanted abandoned democracy

0:28:56.000 --> 0:29:01.040
<v Speaker 14>by canceling the primary to see you that I decline

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 14>of the sitting president. I left the party.

0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 3>The Party of war, censorship and corruption. James, what impact

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:13.480
<v Speaker 3>will Kennedy's endorsement have, Well.

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I think what it's going to do. The analysis that

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I've seen shows that Kennedy voters will probably break about

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:22.959
<v Speaker 2>three to two for Trump. So there's a small boost

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.239
<v Speaker 2>there in some of those swing states. It could make

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 2>quite a difference, of course, because you know, it's like

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>with our marginal electorates in Australia. You know, this is

0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 2>this is where it actually matters. It's not about the

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 2>popular votes but getting over the line in different states.

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 2>But what Kennedy said there was a complete break with

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party, and I think the diagnosis that he

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:45.160
<v Speaker 2>made was largely correct. I mean it is, as I

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:48.479
<v Speaker 2>suggest before, the Democrats, who really are all about, you know,

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 2>controlling the narrative, controlling the media, controlling social media, controlling

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.239
<v Speaker 2>what people can say, controlling what people can think. You know,

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>whether it's through wokeness and political correctness in HR or

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 2>whether it is through more sinister things you've seen, like

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, the way the White House worked with Twitter

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 2>before it was owned by Elon Musk and Facebook to

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 2>dial down stories that were unflattering to the Biden family

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.719
<v Speaker 2>and stories about COVID and things like that. You know,

0:30:11.840 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 2>so Kennedy is really right there. I mean, he's basically

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 2>taking a kind of a libertarian position possibly on some things,

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 2>will be you know, further out there on a lot

0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 2>of other things. But you know, like I kind of

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 2>not hugely bothered by that because he's not doesn't have

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 2>an official position. He's throwing his support to Trump. And

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 2>if you want to talk about Bonker's positions, just look

0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 2>at the Democrat Party platform, which Kamala Harris has inherited.

0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, look at her VP pick and his track record

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 3>never mind hers. But again, the media uninterested in really

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 3>scrutinizing any of that. In fact, they've gone out of

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 3>their way to rebrand Kamala as some amazing leader when

0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 3>a couple of months ago she was the problem. She

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 3>will one of the Biden Whitehouse's biggest problems.

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 8>How long will.

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 3>This honeymoon last? Though, because there has to be a

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 3>point where you would hope that questions would be asked

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 3>about her track record, her performance, what she really stands for,

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 3>because we're getting again this play where she's the tough prosecutor,

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 3>But then we know the state of California and law

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 3>enforcement there and the impact she had whilst she was

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 3>a g So, I mean, that's at odds with her

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 3>being a law and order figure. How are they going

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:44.240
<v Speaker 3>to bamboozle the American people all the way to November.

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're using the vibe. This is all politics of

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 2>the vibe. It is the vibe of the thing, as

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 2>we say in Australia. Know, this is the thing. They

0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 2>are basically actively avoiding doing anything that might break this

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 2>spell of you know, joy and the other people are weird,

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, and all this kind of mean girl in

0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 2>group high school politics, which is basically what it comes

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 2>down to what they're trying to practice here. It's now

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I think was it's the twenty twenty sixth of August.

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 2>They had said a couple of weeks ago that Kamala

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Harris would do would do a sit down interview by

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 2>the end of the month. Well, the end of the

0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>month is coming up on us fast. I don't see

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 2>the media much except for a few people really baying

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 2>for that sort of scrutiny. I don't think they want

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to give her that scrutiny because Kamala Harris as soon

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:39.360
<v Speaker 2>as she starts to talk off script, you know, and

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 2>has to start defending things, and we're talking about things like,

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:44.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, price controls. She floated that the other day,

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:50.280
<v Speaker 2>taxes on your unearned or unrealized capital gains, which is bonkers,

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:52.760
<v Speaker 2>higher corporate taxes, and a lot of stuff in the

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 2>DNC platform, including things like basically a huge amnesty program

0:32:57.760 --> 0:33:01.440
<v Speaker 2>for illegal aliens to get them to become eventually citizens.

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:04.000
<v Speaker 2>And you'd assume Democrat voters she's gonna have to own

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 2>all that, she's gonna have to answer to that. She's

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 2>also running away from debates. I don't even know that

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 2>if they're going to wind up doing one with Trump

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 2>now when Trump and I think agreed to three with Biden.

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 2>So that's where we are. Early voting is going to

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 2>start in some of these states soon. So this is

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:21.240
<v Speaker 2>really it's just you know, our last quarter of the game,

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 2>running out the clock, hoping that they can get over

0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 2>the line. But it's really sinister, and really, these are

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the people who keep banging on about threats to democracy, right, Well,

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't see them really engaging with this in the

0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 2>spirit of democracy at all.

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, they invalidated fourteen million votes when they installed Kamala

0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, ran Biden out of town. So that's a

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 3>pretty big threat to democracy right there, undermining the democratic process. Now,

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 3>you mentioned fact checking sites and how they take the

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:00.240
<v Speaker 3>day off whenever the Democrats say something, and that's seems

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 3>to be the case here with PolitiFact insisting that Donald Trump,

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 3>well haven't taken a day off. They've gone out of

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 3>their way to find something false that is actually true.

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:12.840
<v Speaker 3>They're saying that Donald Trump is false to assert that

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris ever supported abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 3>ICE as we call it, but even CNN reported on

0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 3>her support for that in twenty eighteen.

0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 13>Have a look a bol of schase. This is a

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:31.399
<v Speaker 13>refrain that we've heard increasingly from your democratic colleagues, some

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 13>even potential twenty twenty contenders, like Bernie Sanders, Senator Kamala Harris,

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:38.400
<v Speaker 13>Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Kirsten Jill Brann. They've all called

0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:39.240
<v Speaker 13>to a ball of shade.

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Who is fact checking the fact checkers. But this is

0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 3>a case with a range of policies, isn't it. James fracking,

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 3>for example, which is a massive issue in the crucial

0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 3>swing state of Pennsylvania. She was on the record, there's

0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:55.920
<v Speaker 3>so many videos of her saying I would ban fracking

0:34:56.080 --> 0:35:01.720
<v Speaker 3>on day one, and now apparently she's done a complete Again,

0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 3>is that credible?

0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's not credible. And you know, Rita, there's another

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 2>example of this. We had this a couple of weeks

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 2>ago when everybody was saying, you know, Kamala Harris, you

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 2>were the borders are. Joe Biden named you the borders are.

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Your responsibility was to deal with stuff with the southern border.

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 2>She never went and visited the southern border. And then

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, once she started getting caughd all that you

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>suddenly had the press go in on a full court

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.759
<v Speaker 2>press sect. Oh no, no, no, no, she was never

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the borders are. When thankfully the internet hasn't gone full

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:35.120
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty four yet and you can still go back

0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and find you know, all the same ount let's end

0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 2>mecc and then all these guys say, you know, Kamala Harrison,

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:42.319
<v Speaker 2>name borders are by Joe Biden. You this back in

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty or twenty one, and then of course she

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:50.399
<v Speaker 2>absolutely nothing. Remember Rita when she was asked about why

0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 2>she hadn't been to the border that time, and she said, well,

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I've never been to Europe either. I mean, this is

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, like, this is what we're dealing with. That's why,

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 2>that's why they don't want to put her in front

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 2>of the press. But the press also doesn't want to

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:04.799
<v Speaker 2>have her put in front of them because they might

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:07.280
<v Speaker 2>actually have to ask a hard question.

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, the press, you would think, would least try to

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:17.759
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit more balanced after the debarcle of

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 3>well being exposed about lying about Biden's cognitive decline, because again,

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 3>for three and a half years, if not more, they

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:31.280
<v Speaker 3>presented any doubts about Biden's cognitive abilities as right wing

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:36.400
<v Speaker 3>conspiracies and disinformation and a threat to democracy until that

0:36:36.760 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 3>infamous debate where suddenly, for about two weeks, actually did

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:43.720
<v Speaker 3>their job. Now I want to ask you about piece

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 3>he wrote that has inspired a fairly bizarre response I

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:51.240
<v Speaker 3>would say from the editor of New Matilda, Chris Graham,

0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 3>he is a taking issue with your piece on Labour's

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:58.360
<v Speaker 3>immigration policy, where you use data from the IPA to

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:03.839
<v Speaker 3>illustrate how labor is bringing in a tsunami of migrants

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:08.279
<v Speaker 3>one point one five million since they took power under

0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:13.720
<v Speaker 3>a Big Australia by stealth program, he wrote. Chris Graham wrote,

0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:17.160
<v Speaker 3>the author of the IPA report is a man named

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:21.400
<v Speaker 3>doctor Kevin You and speaking of you, if you like me,

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 3>saw that surname and thought to yourself, hmmm, you sound

0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:31.240
<v Speaker 3>pretty migranty to me. You'd be correct. He's a photo

0:37:31.360 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 3>of doctor You. He's from South Korea, Nolvy in Sydney.

0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 3>And here's a bonus punchline. The author of the Daily

0:37:38.680 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Telegraph story is their national affairs editor James Morrow.

0:37:44.000 --> 0:37:46.000
<v Speaker 8>Morrow is also an immigrant.

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:49.279
<v Speaker 3>Well this is very interesting, James. I think I knew

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Matilda seemed to think migrants to this country are obligated

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 3>to support open borders Big Australia.

0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:03.080
<v Speaker 2>What sort of I mean, Rita. They you know they

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:05.480
<v Speaker 2>caught me out here, yes, oh you know you couldn't

0:38:05.480 --> 0:38:08.719
<v Speaker 2>tell me my voice in constant talking about New York

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:10.799
<v Speaker 2>that I actually don't come from here. But you know,

0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:14.839
<v Speaker 2>this was a really bizarre hit, or attempted hit by

0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:17.239
<v Speaker 2>these guys, because if you think about it, you know

0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:19.040
<v Speaker 2>what is the left always say, oh, well, you know,

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:22.320
<v Speaker 2>we're all immigrants to this country, you know, unless we're

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, Aboriginal or indigenous. You know, we're all migrants

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:27.440
<v Speaker 2>to this country, and so we don't really have any

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:30.279
<v Speaker 2>sort of standing here. And then suddenly it's sort of

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:33.799
<v Speaker 2>like they're running the whole. You know, we grew here,

0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:38.319
<v Speaker 2>you flew here. Line on myself and the doctor from

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the IPA who did the numbers, they can't, by the way,

0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:45.800
<v Speaker 2>RITA criticize the numbers. The numbers are one hundred percent

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:48.879
<v Speaker 2>spot on that more migrants have been brought in under

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 2>this term of government than in any other previous term

0:38:51.360 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 2>of government, you know, in a century. So the numbers

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 2>are completely correct. So what do they do on the left, Well,

0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:00.359
<v Speaker 2>they attack the person who's saying it, and they say, well,

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:02.960
<v Speaker 2>you don't have the right to talk about that because

0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you're a migrant. Well i'll tell you something. The reason

0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 2>why reader, I talk about migration and a lot of

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 2>other issues in this country and involved and I'm involved

0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 2>in public life here is because I'm a migrant and

0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I love this country and I want to keep it

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:19.680
<v Speaker 2>great and I want to see him become greater.

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, It's such a lefty tactic, isn't it.

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Total.

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:28.719
<v Speaker 3>Don't dispute the data, just say you're not allowed to

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 3>hold that opinion because, like you said, you flew here,

0:39:32.600 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I a grew here about it. Just the most bizarre piece,

0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:39.760
<v Speaker 3>James Morrow, thank you for your time this evening.

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks reader.

0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:45.359
<v Speaker 3>Coming up next, chilling testimony from a brave midwife blowing.

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:48.000
<v Speaker 4>The whistle on I want to Babe's.

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 8>Blow in my life.

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 3>You're watching the reader Penny show my next topic. Distressing

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:05.320
<v Speaker 3>to some viewers. A parliamentary hearing in Queensland heard horrific

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 3>accounts from a courageous midwife who explained what happens when

0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:12.680
<v Speaker 3>unwanted babies are born alive.

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 12>To give you a first example, a mother made a

0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 12>decision to a born a baby at twenty one plus

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 12>week's gestation. The process began in the morning with music

0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 12>prostyl given throughout the day. The process took all day

0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:27.880
<v Speaker 12>and the baby was only delivered early hours of the

0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:30.520
<v Speaker 12>night shift where skeleton staff was on.

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:34.160
<v Speaker 3>Judy Louise Atseatt, who is a clinical midwife and has

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:37.880
<v Speaker 3>worked in maternity and birthing units for around fourteen years,

0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 3>also told the hearing about how babies cling on to

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 3>life for hours, receiving no medical assistance to save their

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:48.399
<v Speaker 3>lives or to alleviate their pain.

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.960
<v Speaker 12>This baby moved vigorously, gasp for breath and had a

0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:54.520
<v Speaker 12>palpable heart rate. To make it clear, this baby was

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:57.880
<v Speaker 12>alivee it was over four hundred grams, so the baby

0:40:57.920 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 12>was a good way the parents of us to not

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.920
<v Speaker 12>desire to see or hold this baby. Midlis and doctors

0:41:03.920 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 12>were left holding this little life while it continued to

0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:10.399
<v Speaker 12>While they continue to provide cares for other women we're

0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:13.640
<v Speaker 12>birthing and walking them babies into the world. This baby

0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:16.400
<v Speaker 12>boy fought for his life for five hours before taking

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:24.160
<v Speaker 12>his final breath. This is not uncommon occurrence.

0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Five hours, five hours. The inquiry into Babies Born Alive

0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:33.880
<v Speaker 3>was looking into enthrining legislative protection for babies to survive abortion,

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:37.279
<v Speaker 3>either in the form of palliative care for those who

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:40.520
<v Speaker 3>will not live long or medical care for those who will.

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now, as professor of law at the University

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:49.520
<v Speaker 3>of Adelaide, doctor Joanna Howe, doctor how that testimony is harrowing.

0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 3>It certainly moved United Australia Senator Ralph Babbett to introduce

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 3>an urgency motion asking Senators to vote on the importance

0:41:58.719 --> 0:42:03.640
<v Speaker 3>of medical care for babies who survive abortion, but it

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:04.360
<v Speaker 3>was defeated.

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:09.600
<v Speaker 16>It's unbelievable, reader, thirty two votes to eighteen that was

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:14.080
<v Speaker 16>voted down, which tells you something about the quality of

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:18.160
<v Speaker 16>people that are in our Senate. Universally unanimously, Labor and

0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 16>the Greens voted against that motion, and it was a

0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:22.200
<v Speaker 16>simple motion.

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:22.960
<v Speaker 3>It was a motion that.

0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:25.720
<v Speaker 16>Said, if a baby is born alive after an abortion,

0:42:25.800 --> 0:42:28.319
<v Speaker 16>they should be entitled to equal protection under the law.

0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:32.600
<v Speaker 16>So it is absolutely it's just disturbing, Like, I actually

0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:37.640
<v Speaker 16>can't understand how anybody, any Australian could vote against emotion

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 16>calling for equal treatment for those children, especially after the harrowing, groundbreaking,

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:47.520
<v Speaker 16>courageous testimony of Louise ad Set the day before, who

0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:48.879
<v Speaker 16>blew the lid on this whole thing.

0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:56.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, why aren't we seeing other midwives, nurses, doctors speaking

0:42:56.760 --> 0:43:01.120
<v Speaker 4>out if this is happening regularly, and surely Moore would

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:04.720
<v Speaker 4>be speaking out.

0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:08.000
<v Speaker 16>Reader, they can't. So Louise ad Set had parliamentary privilege.

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:12.000
<v Speaker 16>She was she was giving evidence to a parliamentary inquiry

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:16.359
<v Speaker 16>in Queensland, and so an employer can't take punitive action

0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:19.440
<v Speaker 16>against you for something you say to a parliamentary inquiry,

0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 16>but any other midwife who speaks out about this will

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:25.960
<v Speaker 16>lose their job. That is just the reality of this.

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 16>Immediately after Louise gave that extraordinarily brave testimony, doctor Alicia

0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:35.200
<v Speaker 16>Broom from the same hospital, who's an obstrician, gave evidence

0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:37.360
<v Speaker 16>to the inquiry saying babies are not born alive and

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:41.120
<v Speaker 16>left to die, so essentially disputing the very credibility of

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.799
<v Speaker 16>this incredibly brave midwife who came forward to say this.

0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:47.319
<v Speaker 16>The reality is the peak bodies ranscog Ama. They're all

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:50.960
<v Speaker 16>lined up, and any midwife or nurse who's on the

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:54.560
<v Speaker 16>ground dealing with these babies who are gasping for air,

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:57.799
<v Speaker 16>who are struggling to breathe, who are left on metal

0:43:57.840 --> 0:44:02.080
<v Speaker 16>plates for up to hours, these midwives and nurses are

0:44:02.080 --> 0:44:05.040
<v Speaker 16>not protected. But I have now, since Luiz gave that testimony,

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:08.319
<v Speaker 16>I've actually had five more midwives come to me and

0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:10.640
<v Speaker 16>to speak to me about this. So I'm going to

0:44:10.640 --> 0:44:12.480
<v Speaker 16>be airing these on my YouTube, but I'm going to

0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:15.440
<v Speaker 16>have to disguise their voice and their face because otherwise

0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 16>who knows what will happen to them. So you know,

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 16>this is a tragedy occurring under our very noses in

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:25.919
<v Speaker 16>our hospitals every single week in this country. It has

0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 16>to be fixed. We do need more people to come forward.

0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:32.480
<v Speaker 16>But the reality is the medical profession is not safe

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 16>for people like Louise to talk about this in ordinary life,

0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:38.279
<v Speaker 16>to people like you and me on camera. It just

0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:41.839
<v Speaker 16>won't protect them because this is legal, and you can

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:44.080
<v Speaker 16>only blow the whistle on stuff that's not illegal, and

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:46.160
<v Speaker 16>so so sorry, it can only blow the whistle on

0:44:46.239 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 16>things that are illegal. And the reality is it is

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 16>legal in our country and it happens once every seven

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:54.520
<v Speaker 16>days that a baby is born alive and left to

0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:55.879
<v Speaker 16>die with our right to medical care.

0:44:59.000 --> 0:45:03.080
<v Speaker 3>The nurses you've I've spoken to the midwives that have

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:07.799
<v Speaker 3>come forward since Louis's testimony. Are they also in Queensland?

0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 3>What have they told you?

0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:11.560
<v Speaker 8>So?

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:15.480
<v Speaker 16>I've had one come forward from Victoria and the others

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 16>are from Queensland and they have told me about these

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:21.120
<v Speaker 16>little babies who are born and one of them actually

0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:24.640
<v Speaker 16>offered to adopt the baby, and she fought with the

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:26.879
<v Speaker 16>people above her to say, look, I want to take

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.239
<v Speaker 16>care of this baby. This baby can live and she

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:31.359
<v Speaker 16>was shut down and the baby was left to die.

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:34.440
<v Speaker 16>And that is just a heartbreaking story. But I've had

0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:37.760
<v Speaker 16>other midwives and has come forward to tell me stories

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:42.040
<v Speaker 16>of these babies who they want to hold them, but

0:45:42.080 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 16>they're not counted as patients. So under Queensland law, the

0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:48.719
<v Speaker 16>Miles government actually did change the midwife to patient ratios

0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:51.239
<v Speaker 16>in a positive way a few weeks ago, but these

0:45:51.280 --> 0:45:53.200
<v Speaker 16>babies who are born alive after an abortion, they're not

0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:55.719
<v Speaker 16>counted as patients. So one midwife told me of a

0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 16>situation where she wanted to hold this baby that was

0:45:58.200 --> 0:46:00.799
<v Speaker 16>born alive and she wrapped them in a blanket, but

0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:02.399
<v Speaker 16>then the coll bell rang, so she had to put

0:46:02.400 --> 0:46:05.200
<v Speaker 16>the baby down and just leave that baby gasping for

0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:08.160
<v Speaker 16>air in the dirty you know, and they go in

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:10.280
<v Speaker 16>the dirty pan room, so they go where the dirty

0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:13.920
<v Speaker 16>dishes are and that's where they're left gasping for air

0:46:14.000 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 16>until they passed. So it's an absolute natural disgrace. These

0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:21.959
<v Speaker 16>senators who did not vote for this last week. It's

0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:25.200
<v Speaker 16>just hard to comprehend and it shows you that we

0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:27.839
<v Speaker 16>need it. And it wasn't a massive wake up call

0:46:27.880 --> 0:46:30.799
<v Speaker 16>in this country, and.

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:35.280
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't just the Greens and Labor. We had liberal

0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:38.839
<v Speaker 3>senators and what is the concern from these people? I mean,

0:46:38.880 --> 0:46:43.839
<v Speaker 3>it seems to me insane not to be giving assistance

0:46:44.200 --> 0:46:47.640
<v Speaker 3>to a baby that is gasping for breath, that somehow

0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:51.320
<v Speaker 3>holds on to life for five hours despite not getting

0:46:51.400 --> 0:46:56.440
<v Speaker 3>any medical assistance. Are they scared that if you acknowledge

0:46:56.480 --> 0:46:59.839
<v Speaker 3>that this happens and have some sort of a pro

0:47:00.080 --> 0:47:02.319
<v Speaker 3>says where they have to receive treatment, that it will

0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:05.839
<v Speaker 3>put late term abortion under threat. Is that why they're

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:10.239
<v Speaker 3>voting against this motion. It's hard to understand why anybody

0:47:10.280 --> 0:47:13.840
<v Speaker 3>would be against giving assistance to a baby that is

0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:15.880
<v Speaker 3>struggling for breath.

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:22.040
<v Speaker 16>There were four liberals Senator Hume, Senator Birmingham, Senator Bragg

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:26.520
<v Speaker 16>and Senator Mariakovichik who voted against giving ecal treatment to

0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:29.080
<v Speaker 16>children born alive. Senator Maria Covidchick stood up in the

0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.840
<v Speaker 16>Parliament and gave four reasons as to why she was

0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:35.239
<v Speaker 16>voting against ecal treatment for these babies. She said that

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:38.080
<v Speaker 16>we haven't had enough time to discuss this. She said,

0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:42.880
<v Speaker 16>this is not urgent, She said, these babies, the data,

0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:45.680
<v Speaker 16>she questioned, the data on this not being one baby

0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:47.800
<v Speaker 16>a week, and she also said this is a decision

0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:51.000
<v Speaker 16>between a woman and her doctor. Now, the reality is

0:47:51.040 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 16>the Senate has had a Born Alive Protection bill for

0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:56.160
<v Speaker 16>eighteen months on the books, so Covidchik needs to do

0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:58.680
<v Speaker 16>a job and get up to speed. The data is

0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:01.279
<v Speaker 16>very clear. It's one baby a week, and that's justin

0:48:01.320 --> 0:48:04.239
<v Speaker 16>Queensland and Victoria, one baby a week who is born

0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 16>alive without a legal right to care. And this argument,

0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:08.000
<v Speaker 16>but doctor How, it.

0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:12.600
<v Speaker 4>How it doesn't make sense. Reader, I just think it.

0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:16.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you think that data is wrong, if you

0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:20.680
<v Speaker 3>think it's been overstated, fine you can still pass the legislation.

0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:25.000
<v Speaker 3>The legislation isn't related to data. It's related to making

0:48:25.080 --> 0:48:28.480
<v Speaker 3>sure a baby that's born alive after a failed abortion

0:48:28.880 --> 0:48:31.359
<v Speaker 3>gets some medical care. So, whether it's one a week,

0:48:31.520 --> 0:48:34.640
<v Speaker 3>one a year, why would that prevent you from passing

0:48:34.680 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 3>the legislation. I think we need far more scrutiny, particularly

0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 3>from those liberal senators you mentioned, doctor Joana How, thank

0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 3>you for your time this evening, and that's.

0:48:43.880 --> 0:48:44.480
<v Speaker 8>It from now.

0:48:44.480 --> 0:48:46.160
<v Speaker 3>I'll see you at eleven tomorrow.

0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:46.759
<v Speaker 8>Good night,
