WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 24 September 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:04.439 On scoring wields Australia. 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:07.200 This is the Reader Panety Show. 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:11.560 Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panny Show. Coming 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.360 up tonight an Australia Day backflip from a council after 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.239 a rate payer backlash. Professor Im Plimer will be here 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.200 to fact check the PM's renewables claims. Josh Hammer will 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.799 join me with the latest from the US, including some 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.920 fantastic poll numbers for Donald Trump, and later in the hour, 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.360 an Emmy Award winning actor and LGBTQ activist tells me 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.240 how he is now under attack in his own community 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.320 because he is Jewish and he never neglect left. He's 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.800 losing it. And tonight it stars Little Doom Goblin, Greha Thumberg. 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.360 Show me what how listen? 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.320 Show me what democracy listening. 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.840 Let's bring in the panel Senior writer for News Corp 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:02.320 Patrick Carlin and The Australians Media writer Ellsworth Gang will 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.479 start with the more deeming defamation case against Victorian Liberal 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:11.479 leader John Pursuto. Liberal MPs, we are told now were 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:15.600 inundated with messages from the public and according to Liberal 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:20.039 MP David Hodgett, around ninety seven percent of the messages 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.959 he received were supportive of more deeming and critical of 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.760 John Pursuto Patrick No surprises there could have told the 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.600 court that this move by Pursuito has not just been 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.240 enormously damaging, landing him in this court action, but also 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:41.959 the lack of political judgment political now is almost offensive. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.200 Well, there shouldn't be an issue. I mean, it's essentially 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.760 a small story that should then put the bed internally 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.800 at some point, well before now we're having a court 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.640 case play out, we're having all these coalition politicians sort 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.320 of coming up and exposing the alleged sort of skulldugery 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.040 and chicanery of internal politics of this. This should have 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.040 gone away. I mean, the Allen government is in trouble. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.400 It's Victoria's bankrupt at the moment. We've got all these 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.640 big projects that are putting us under pressure. We've got 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.000 cost them living. We've got the ideological thing with the 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.480 Allen government ministers. They should be in trouble. Why is 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.799 the Liberal Party having to deal with this or why 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.520 is it chosen to deal with this in such a 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:24.239 damaging way. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.040 Well, can John Pursuito survive this, Sophie, whatever way this 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.200 court case goes, I just don't know. How you can 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:32.280 remain leader. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.880 I think it's going to be hard for him rita 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:39.680 whichever way the case ends up. And surely the Liberal 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.160 Party in Victoria should be focused on fighting the state government, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.840 not fighting themselves. As Patrick says, this was a story 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.000 that could have blown over in forty eight hours if 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.839 it was handled correctly. It was a story that could 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:52.840 have been killed. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.880 It should have been a win for the Liberals. Here 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.000 you have a member of the first term MP, a 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.160 mum of four, who was physically assaulted that day by 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.800 these crazy left wing activists, and then she was blamed 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.880 for these neo Nazis who gate crash their protests by 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.800 Dad Andrews. Dan Andrews went for her very strongly. John 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.920 Pursuito could have had a win by sticking up for 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.200 his MP, sticking up for women's rights, saying she shouldn't 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.840 be blamed for the actions of these disgusting men who 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.720 gate crash the event. But no, he decided he was 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.480 going to be tougher on her than Dan Andrews was. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.600 And here we have this deformation action and I'm looking 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.440 at the names of some of these lawyers. This is 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:35.400 going to be very expensive. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.840 Sophie it is going to be very expensive reacha I've 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.320 heard it could be as much as up to four 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.640 million dollars. This entire thing, and also just the images 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.480 that are going through the media like Moi Redeem Deeming 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.040 arriving at court each day, as you said, a mom 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.280 of four on her own, and there's John Pursuito arriving 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.200 every day hand in hand with his wife. This is 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.240 a shocking look for the Victorian Liberal Party and and 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.960 all their ins and outs, all their private conversations are 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.760 now being laid out for the public to see. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.440 And the former Treasurer made some very interesting comments in quarter. 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.160 We don't have time to get to those. Let's move 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.479 on to the Albanezy government so called misinformation disinformation legislation. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.200 It's going to be a major issue in the next 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.480 federal election. Daily telegraphs Tim Blair has had his own 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.080 take on this issue. Here argued, instead of using these 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.599 new laws to counter dangerous misinformation and disinformation, the alban 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.400 Easy government should try a simpler and much less expensive approach. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.200 It should sack itself, after all, being among the nation's 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.400 larger sources of miss and disinfo, Albo and Co shurely 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.800 must just up and go. Patrick Albert and co. Are 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.240 guilty of spreading plenty of misinformation. Was only last week 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.599 that the Prime Minister copped an embarrassing fact check on x. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:01.440 It's not isolated these laws are they had bad news. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.440 The legislation in its current form is orwelling in Oh. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.160 Absolutely. I mean every government, including the Albanesi government, lies 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.240 to try and win a point of view. We've seen 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.480 that with energy prices with the Albanesi government. You look 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.839 in America, Joe Biden, Carnala Harris have all been caught out. 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.040 And this is politics. It is a lot of it 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.880 is misinformation. It's about sort of spreading untruths. If you like, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.479 who's the arbiter of what is misinformation? Who's going to 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:30.080 say this is the. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.520 Lefty bureaucrats that are points will be the arbiters. And 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.760 that is scary as you say it is, and it's 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:41.799 going to impact everyday people us in the media, academia, 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.080 people and positions of influence aren't included in this sofa, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.360 but the average person is. And of course we're going 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.320 to have cost of leaving immigration being top line issues 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.599 at the next federal polar But I think free speech 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:55.840 is also going to be on the ballot. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.080 Absolutely, Rechel and Patrick is dead right with that. Who 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.560 is the arbiter, Who who is the cop who just 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.840 the social media cop who says this is okay and 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.680 this is not okay? And that's where I think why 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.800 some of this might be set out to do the 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:10.360 right thing. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.240 It can be incredibly. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.599 Dangerous when someone doesn't agree with a view they say, right, 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.920 that's misinformation or disinformation and just stamp it out. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.839 And I think that is concerning. Now let's go to 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.440 South Australia, the city of Umley. Am I pronouncing that right? 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:25.560 So? 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:30.240 Well well done? They have decided to keep Australia Day 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.640 on Australia Day. How quaint. This is a backflip after 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.080 there was a backlash from rate payers. A community survey 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.880 show just over sixty percent of rate payers want to 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.200 celebrate Australia Day on January twenty sixth, not another data 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.000 as the council was proposing. The only surprise here, Patrick, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.799 is that the council actually listened to the rate payers. 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.200 This is again quaint. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.279 That's unheard or isn't it. You hear all these councils 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.839 talking about this is what our electors want. This is 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.560 what the council people want. It's not truly you said, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.479 look at some of these surveys and say, hang on, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.640 that's just not right. That doesn't tell you with everyday opinion. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.760 This is great that they had a survey six and 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.720 ten said this and they said all right, we'll go 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.680 back to it because six and ten that's what the 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.240 majority want and from most people Australia is not this 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.400 divisive thing. It's just, you know, it's a nice day 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.680 where new citizens get to celebrate that in Australia. 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.320 And the fact that you've still got in this inner 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.320 city affluent area six in ten saying keep it on 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.960 January twenty sixth I think is almost a miracle because 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:40.680 we've had Sophie just a barrage of bad stories and 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.320 ill will in the media suggesting this is a harmful day, 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.480 that this day to be celebrating it is akin to 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.520 celebrating genocide and white supremacy. We've had that narrative now 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.080 for so many years. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.440 That's right, Racha, and look only is in a very lovely, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.360 prestigious pocket of Adelaide. So there will be people critical 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.720 that the rape payers had a majority of view there. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.120 But I actually think it's good that for once the 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.920 Council went Okay, this is what they think, let's go 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.880 back to the drawing board and let's reinstall what we're 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.160 originally going to do. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.960 And I think you're right. Australia Day. 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.240 We hear a lot of noise from minority groups about this, 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.080 when I think a lot of Australians are just happy 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.600 to celebrate this great country. 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.200 And most of the minority groups were against Australia Day. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:36.680 Let's be clear. Australian born, affluent, inner city types. They're 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.560 the ones who are, you know, the till seats, the 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.480 green seats as well. Now the Browlow Metal was on 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.200 last night. I didn't watch it because I don't like 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.120 being bored, but but you two were glued to the television. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.120 Carlton's Patrick Cripps won the competitions Best in Ferres with 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.280 a record breaking forty five votes. Nick Dekos from Collingwood 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.200 was runner up and he also broke the record. But 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.800 the night wasn't with our controversy, Patrick, the Brownlow voting 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.679 system is under scrutiny again given the manner in this 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:15.000 the way this record was broken, is it still relevant 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:15.839 to the brownlow. 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.600 Oh look, I think it's definitely still relevant, if only 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.040 for the nice dresses. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:21.360 Nice stress. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.480 But look, you do have two very dominant players in 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.240 Crips and Decos. You've got to feel very sorry for 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.840 Nick Dacos. They are the kind of player, the style 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.280 of player who do attract umpires. 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.440 Vote. It's a midfielders award, isn't it it is? 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.199 I look at poor old Marcus Bontempelli from the Western Bulldogs. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.560 He's one of the best players by mile in the 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.120 competition and he can't get more than twenty votes. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.160 But he won the afl PA Award. But I think 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.800 so is so did. Did the right man win? Was 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.920 Nick Dakos robbed We'll reach it. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.600 I'm biased here, I'm a Carton girl, and I was. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.840 Really thrilled Patrick. I loved his speech. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.920 I love that he grew up on a sheep and 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.600 wheat farm, and I just think he's a great role model. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.439 And let's hope he wins a third one. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.640 Okay, So I should have known not to ask you, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.319 because that was always the response I was going to get. Now, 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:17.720 Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney has had a massive win 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.280 on the illegal immigration front, She's recorded a sixty four 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.680 percent drop in unlawful entries despite heavy criticism from the 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.440 establishment and from the EU. Patrick remember when we were 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:35.160 told she was this far right Zalat, a fascist, dangerous, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:39.000 she would plunge Italy into crisis. Turns out she is 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.920 actually pretty effective and according to polls, the most or 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.959 one of the most popular leaders in Europe. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.319 Absolutely. And look, you had British Prime Minister Keith Stamer 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.440 go go and visit her to find out how do 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:56.160 you do this. There's a big immigration problem for Europe 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.000 and Britain, especially those numbers. You look at those numbers, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.800 you're talking tens of thousands, You're talking lots of deaths. 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.439 In need a solution, You need something that works. And 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.280 this is actually worked in Italy remarkably well. Look in 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.760 the stats. What are they doing that the world should 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:14.240 be copying it? 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.200 Absolutely, and so on the media angle. I remember when 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:25.160 she did win, the coverage was unhinged, hyperbly on steroids. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.440 She was called a fascist. I wasn't kidding there. And 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.599 has there been any sort of retractions and maybe we 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.559 got it wrong. I haven't seen that in the Australian media. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.000 No, not really reached her. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.400 I can't say we have seen that, but actions speak 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.920 louder than words, and she seems to be doing good 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.800 job and point in cases exactly what you've just discussed 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.480 with those immigration numbers. So I think her critics need 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.280 to perhaps sit back and see that the work that 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.160 she is doing is obviously resonating and it is working. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.400 And it is Patrick unusual to have an Italian leader 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.280 stay in power this long. They've got a rather chaotic 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:09.320 history of knifing their leaders. But she's there, and she's 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.760 popular and so far effective. Sophie Patrick, thank you so 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.480 much for your time this evening. Now, today the Prime 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.839 Minister was in Western Australia boasting about renewable projects, and 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.240 you had this question for Opposition leader Peter Dutton. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.480 Peter Dutton's nuclear plan, which yesterday he gave a speech 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:31.400 on and which had no costings, no detail. Peter Dutton 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.160 will be here in the West, I understand later this week. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.240 I wonder if he visits Collie to have a look 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.360 at the site there at Collie where you have a 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.920 battery being built that will store enough energy to power 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.200 eight hundred and sixty thousand homes. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.800 Joining me now is leading geologist and author Prophessy and 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:58.960 Plymer Professor Plymer. How reliable is battery storage battery backup? 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.760 The PM mentioned there that'll supply eight hundred and sixty 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.640 thousand homes, but do we know for how long? 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:11.640 Well, he's criticizing mister Dutton for not costing out nuclear, 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.160 bearing in mind that there are thirty three countries in 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.280 the world that have nuclear There are four hundred and 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.199 forty reactors around the world, and countries smaller than US 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.360 countries like Croatia have nineteen reactors. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:24.040 So. 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.000 It doesn't start from a good foundation. He tells us 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.120 that there's these batteries at Collie, a coal mining town, 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.560 would provide energy for eight hundred and sixty homes. That 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.480 is quite correct if every home only has a few 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.360 minutes of energy, So eight hundred and sixty thousand homes 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.320 for a few minutes, that's a very very big battery. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.480 So he's just missing out on the critical detail that 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:56.760 these batteries are totally absolutely useless, and some jurisdiction in 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.439 Australia have got rid of these batteries, like South Australia 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.560 has had diesel backup for the batteries. Tasmania has diesel backup. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.800 So hidden behind all of the bluster is reality, and 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:14.120 the reality is that Australia has yet to launch itself 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.440 into the nineteen fifties and become a nuclear nation. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.920 Now. The Australian Pipelines and Gas Association and Master Plumbers 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.440 have joined forces to campaign against the just Into Allen 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:33.760 government here in Victoria and their natural gas misinformation. It's 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:39.040 a push to ban new gas installations. Your Home, Your 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.200 Choice campaign is going to be targeting up to fifty 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:47.160 thousand voters per week and it aims to educate people 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:52.200 in on the truth behind just Into Alan's gas legislation. 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:57.280 The Victorian government claims that these proposed changes with gas 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.160 are for the good of the Victorian people. Spokesperson said, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.440 while the gas lobby are focused on lifting their profits, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.040 we are focused on your power bill. That's odd because 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.840 my bills have never been higher and whatever they're doing 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.400 isn't working well. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.200 The gas crisis has been a couple of decades in 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.080 the making, and it's been a couple of decades of 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:27.520 bureaucratic and government absolute total mismanagement in Victoria's now coming 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.440 to a crisis because the gas from Bass Strait is 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.680 starting to run out, and they have totally ignored the 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.240 onshore gas. Onshore from Bass Straight, we have exactly the 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.120 same rocks. They contain oil, they contain gas. It's been 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.960 known for a very long period of time. So they've 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:49.360 ignored great supplies of gas in Victoria. They are trying 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:54.720 to evolve by telling you what method you're going to 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.080 use for cooking. You talk to any chef. They're not 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.120 going to cook on electricity. They will cook on gas. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:06.720 And what they're trying to do is to blame the companies, 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.280 blame someone else for the mess that they've created. Now, 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.600 this mess was not only created by Labor. The Nationals 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:19.360 in Dipsland led the move against onshore exploration, followed by 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.240 the Libs and then the Labor Party really hit it home. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.320 But there's plenty of gas in western Victoria in the 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.240 Outway basin. There's plenty of gas on shore in the 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:34.240 gif Plan basin. There are the same rocks that extend 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.360 across into South Australia and they have gas in them, 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.080 and that gas is being used. Just because across the 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:45.840 political border doesn't mean the geology changes. So what is 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:50.960 being fed to the public is absolutely demonstrably untrue. And 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.120 this has been happening for a long period of time, 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:58.360 so I'm not surprised that ultimately the pipeline organizations want 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.920 to say, well, folks, that isn't this is the reality. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:08.520 Well, the Victorian government has backtracked a little bit because 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:13.399 they've seen this backlash to gas cook tops, so they've 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.159 said you can keep your gas cooktop, hospitality can keep it. 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.119 But these new estates there is no gas connection, so 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.440 you can't have a gas cooktop without a gas connection 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:29.560 before you go in the opposition leader's nuclear plan will 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:34.399 involve gas and coal for at least twelve years. The 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.440 left has seized upon this detail as a weakness. They 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.080 argue most of these coal fired plans are going to 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:44.399 be closed by twenty thirty five. Is this a major 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.560 flaw in the coalition's nuclear plan, this reliance on gas 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.920 and coal for at least twelve years. 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.879 Well, this is common sense to have energy security and 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.919 have energy from hydro, to have energy from gas, to 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.040 have energy from coal, to have energy from clear and 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:06.200 small amounts of energy from wind and solar. So you're 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.200 not going to put all your eggs into one basket, 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.960 which the government wants us to do. They want us 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.360 to have all of our energy coming from sea breezes 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.720 and sunbeams. Now, we don't get energy twenty four to 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.800 seven using these methods of generating electricity. You need backup. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:27.560 We've seen before in drought that we had a lack 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.680 of water for cooling some of the cold fired power stations, 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.200 so we needed gas. So you need a lot and 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:41.239 that gives you energy security. We currently don't have energy security. 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:47.879 We don't and we're becoming increasingly reliant on China for renewables, 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:53.760 for solar panels and windmills. And yeah, it's not just 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.840 energy security, it's national security that becomes an issue as well, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.520 Professie Climer, thank you so much for your time. Evening 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.240 still to come, and Lefties losing a plass. Josh Hammer 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.399 joins me with the latest from the US, including some 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:15.880 promising news for Donald Trump. Welcome back. Now it's time 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.280 for lefties losing it. Remember that angry little doom goblin 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.199 Gritteth Thunberg, Well, she appears to have lost interest in 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.200 being a full time climate cultist. Now her main objective 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:31.160 is to be a cafe wearing anti Israel troll. Let's 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.359 listen to her chant stupid stuff written on her phone. 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.560 Me what the people looks like? 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:46.280 Show me what pot, Show me what democracy looks like. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:54.840 Show me what democracy looks like. Show me what the 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.000 people looks like. 0:19:58.600 --> 0:19:59.719 Show me what po. 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:06.960 That's talking about power for a global warming alarmist. There 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.520 is a lot of fossil fuels in use right there, 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.760 from the phone to the megaphone to the diesel generator 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.240 on the back of that ute. Let's see if Greta 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.679 can weave in some climate alarmism into her chance. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:30.119 One good, oh my justice, human rights, one. 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.040 Struggle, one good, climate justice, human. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:38.639 Rights, one struggle, one fired, climate justice, human rights genius. 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.800 That's that intersectional dementedness that the left have embraced. It's 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.080 all just an anti West, neo Marxist ideology. The issue 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.639 is never really the issue. And it's been a while 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.680 since we heard from transactivist still in Mulvania. I wonder 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:59.840 what is up to My pronouns are us a? 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:00.880 Pronouns? 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:02.359 Are usaid? 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.400 How about it? Okay, let's move on. Time to check 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.119 in with the leader of the free world. Here is 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:13.520 President Joe Biden struggling at the Quad address this week. 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.920 There were only three other leaders on stage with him, 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.360 and he still didn't know who to introduce or what 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.800 was going to happen next. This is this is a 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:23.680 little sad. 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:25.600 So I want to thank you all for being here, 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.760 and now who am I introduce you next? 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:43.520 Who's next, distinguished guests, the Prime Minister of the Republic 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:44.480 of India. 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:48.240 Meanwhile, the woman who replaced him as the Democrat's presidential 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:52.439 candidate is seeking another debate with Trump, who she seems 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.639 to think was once vice president. Well, you have me 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:57.080 here and I would like another debate. 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.320 So I loving a former vice PRESI well at that. 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.000 But we have a lot more than the scut No, 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:07.800 he was never vice president. That's you try to keep up. Now, 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:11.000 must admit I have no idea who this next gal is, 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.959 but apparently she's a pop star for deaf people. Hailey 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:19.440 Williams one applause from Left US for launching into an impassioned, 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:24.320 impromptu anti Trump brant during the twenty twenty four iHeartRadio 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.960 Music Festival last week. Have a look at this mad 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.240 fact Free Die Tribe. 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:35.600 Project twenty twenty five is Donald Trump's play for the 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:37.320 trolling and punishing. 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:42.680 Women, color people, people of color and the LGBTQ plus community. 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.719 It's time for all Americans. 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:49.440 To band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda. 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:51.600 And I want to do that. 0:22:53.880 --> 0:23:01.240 Him have the pulse do you want of ships show? 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:05.879 But it turns out the lies she spewed there about 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:10.200 Trump and Project twenty twenty five we're not impromptu at all. 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.600 She was reading from a script held up by one 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:16.960 of her staff. Gosh, you think she could just lie 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.520 from the hearsh This is disappointing now to a couple 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:25.000 of joyful tolerance lefties triggered by the question what is 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:25.440 a woman? 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:26.520 What is a woman? 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:36.040 Can you tell me what a woman is? 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:40.359 Because clearly you're really confused, and that's okay, it's okay 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:44.119 to be confused. Well, that's yeah, I'm confused. That's why 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.720 i'm asking. Okay, So if you were to define it, 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:47.320 what would it? 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.360 I'm really sorry for the loss of your brain cells. 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.000 You can't even define what a woman is, and you're 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:05.919 saying I've lost brain cells when he's asking, idiot. 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.360 And while we are triggering lefties, here is the astute 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:12.879 Jason L. Riley dropping some hard facts about the Obama 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:15.640
