WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 23 September 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:05.160 Lateens General, Welcome to the Late Bay. 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:09.479 Well, thanks for joining us on the Late Debate. 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:13.200 James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond coming up 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.919 an unbelievable Joe Biden gaff where he forgets to introduce 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.360 the Prime Minister of India though he's seated right behind him. 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:22.040 Will show you that a little later. 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:26.040 Plus we'll look at what's making news tomorrow. Queensland police 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:30.280 wanting the ability to pursue stolen vehicles, and police in 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.520 the Northern Territory confirm that they regularly clean homeless indigenous 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.480 people off the streets before politicians arrive to visit. 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.479 Get to that a little later, But. 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:45.120 First to the extraordinary claims that US authorities are aware 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:50.080 of five assassination teams currently in the United States dedicated 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.599 to killing Donald Trump, and even more extraordinary, they were 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.920 aware of these killed teams before last week's second assassination 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:03.240 attempt on Trump, and yet did nothing to increase his security. 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.760 The claims were made over the weekend by Republican Congressman 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:07.640 Matt Gates. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:08.679 Have listened to what he said. 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.600 I had a senior official from the Department of Homeland 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:17.679 Security in my office before the second assassination attempt, saying 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.759 that what he has assessed is that there are five 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:26.920 known assassination teams in the United States, three inspired by 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.800 other governments, two that are here that are known domestic 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.039 assassination teams. And with that, this individual was coming to 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.600 me concerned that the force protection around President Trump, even 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.119 prior to that second assassination attempt, was not sufficient for. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:43.920 What it needed to be. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.680 And the coordination at that level, at the dignitary protection level, 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.720 is like the bare minimum that we have to do 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.440 to keep our presidents, our presidential candidates safe all there 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:55.920 on the trail. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.280 So Calvin, Liz, this is an extraordinary claim. Asassination teams 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:06.240 three helped by foreign governments Iran, Pakistan, and Ukraine, I 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.640 should point out a Pakistan and Ukraine allies of the 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.480 United States, and then two other assassination squads that are 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:18.600 apparently domestic. So this raises a huge number of questions, Liz, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:20.480 where do we start with this? 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.440 Like we needed further proof that the bodies who are 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:30.440 responsible for protecting Donald Trump aren't doing their job. Now 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.600 you can speculate till ac counts come home, whether this 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.680 is deliberate or whether this is not but so many 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.679 questions still remain regarding Matthew Krooks. The first would be 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:45.080 assassin and the second assassin. Also, so many question marks 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:46.960 remain unanswered. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.119 Nobody's seen. It's like getting. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.120 Blood out of a stone, where regardless of whether you're 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.640 talking to the Special Service, the Secret Service, i should say, 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.120 or some of the other levels of what is so 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:05.480 post be protection around a presidential candidate, it's simply not happening. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.680 And these the fact that the Department of Homeland Security 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:14.520 knows about this. Gates is talking about the upper echelons 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.160 of those who are supposed to be charged with the 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.000 responsibility of ensuring that guy not only makes it to 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.560 the election, but long after the election remains alive. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.320 And yet we just seem to be coming up trumps 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:28.120 no pun intended. 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.079 Well, I mean, you wouldn't trust the FBI or the 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.280 Secret Service to boil the billy to CWA meeting right now, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.920 would you? Seriously? Given what we've seen over the last 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.960 couple of months. But I have to say though, it 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.280 kind of indicates the guy you ought to be voting for. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.000 When foreign governments want to take the guy out, all right, 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:51.440 you know, Iran, Ukraine, Pakistan, countries of course, that have 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.840 all gone through and are going through periods of great 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.560 oppression themselves or their people going through periods of great oppression. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.280 Why would they partend actually not want a guy who 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.520 would come in and not allow his country to be 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.680 walked over, not allow his country to be used as 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.600 a pawn, or to take shed loads of money for 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.040 particular political purposes. That's why they want to get rid 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.279 of him, right, And of course Iran has had beef 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.960 with Trump for a long time, and we know that 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.600 the money that has been received from the Biden administration 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.880 to it like of course they wouldn't want Trump to 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.600 be president. And there are these groups that is alleged 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.960 wandering around the United States, sorry right now, that want 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.240 to take out the former president potential next president of 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.920 the United States forty fifth wants to be the forty seventh. 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.000 And what we just meant to believe, it's all hunky dory, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.040 It's all fine. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:45.320 Now. 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:50.680 Look, I suspect that Joe Biden now would like to 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.839 see Trump have a little more protection, but we know 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.760 that Biden ain't really in charge. There are other people 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.800 who are quite happy to see Trump not have the 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.320 level of protection he ought to have, because, as I 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.360 have said before, even if they come out and say, oh, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.719 you know, it's political violence, it's very bad. In their 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.000 heart of hearts, they would actually prefer to see him 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.279 dead than winning in November again. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.040 And you've got to respect the gonads on this guy, 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.120 because Donald Trump knows better than anyone in this world. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.520 Right now, every single time he. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:30.120 Steps foot outside of his home, he is potentially risking 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.240 his life. But what has he always said, They're not 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.360 trying to get to me, They're trying to get to you. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.000 I'm just in the way. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.559 It's been a great weekend for the Trump campaign because 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.000 not only has this come out from repmat. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.279 Gates, but also he seems to be. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.000 Ever more vindicated when it comes to the charges surrounding 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:58.960 January sixth. New revelations reveal that he instructed the Pentagon 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.440 to keep every every one safe, to deploy the best 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:06.600 that they had, including the National Guard, to ensure January 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.800 six didn't dissolve into violence. 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.360 And he was promptly ignored. 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:17.960 Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.720 responding to these revelations, that is the committee that uncovered 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:28.120 this inconvenient truth, says the Pentagon leadership prioritize concerns of 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.880 optics over their duty to protect lives. President Trump met 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.960 with senior Pentagon leaders and directed them to make sure 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.360 any events on January sixth, twenty twenty one, worse safe. 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:44.680 It is very concerning that these senior Pentagon officials ignored 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:49.600 President's Trump's guidance and misled Congressional leaders to believe they 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.520 were doing their job when they were not. The DoD's 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:58.600 IG report is fundamentally flawed. It does not draw conclusions 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.240 from the interviews they conduct, but pushes a narrative to 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:03.800 keep their hands clean. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.080 We have many questions for them, and. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.279 We will continue to dig until we are satisfied the 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.400 American people know the truth. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.960 Strength to your arm, louder Milk. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:18.720 As of January this year, prosecutors had taken to task 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:23.760 over twelve hundred and sixty five riots. Many of them 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.720 have got jail time. Over four hundred and sixty have 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.120 gotten jail time. And if you want a glimpse at 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:35.160 just how ridiculous some of these sentences are, look up 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:39.560 the case of Rebecca Laurence. She's a seventy four year 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.240 old lady. You should see the photos of her. She's 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.920 sweet as pie. She was in the Capitol building on 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.440 January six for just ten minutes. She was praying. She's 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.360 been given a twelve month probation. Six months of those 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.640 she'll be under house arrest with zero zero internet. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.160 She can't use the internet. She won't be allowed any access, 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:02.200 so she can't. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.400 Tell people what's happening to her, how she's going, or 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.400 raise money for her defense because she intends to appeal. 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.120 She's also been given a fine of one hundred and 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:13.920 three thousand dollars. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.000 Her lawyers advise. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:21.800 Her that this is the largest misdemeanor fine in American history. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.640 That's how over the top they've come when they're prosecuting 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.480 January six rioters. Now, Trump has said, if elected, he 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.720 will pardon most of them. Obviously, he's not referring to 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.240 the ones that injured officers on the day. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:37.840 There were one hundred and. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.600 Forty police people who said that they'd been hurt in 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.719 some way, shape or farms, some worse than others, obviously, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.160 but he's just saying, I recognize that the way in 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.160 which these people have been prosecuted is utterly. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.120 Ridiculous and I'll just be parting handing out pardons Leverrit 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:56.520 and Zenner. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.240 So these transcripts revealed that prior to January sixth, Trump 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.240 went to the Pentagon and said, we're going to have 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:02.800 this event. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.440 We need it to be peaceful. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.080 And he actually says to them, use the National Guard, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.679 use active soldiers, whatever it takes, quote unquote, and he 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.600 believed they would do that. Then they promptly ignored him 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.160 because they didn't like the optics of having soldiers guarding 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.000 the Capitol building. And then on the day of January sixth, 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.760 when the riot began and Capitol police felt like we 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.480 are being overwhelmed here, they said we need the National Guard, 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.160 and that message was delayed, being passed on for at 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.600 least two hours until things were well and truly out 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.120 of control, and only then were they released to try 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.560 and get control back. So the whole thing clearly has 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.360 been staged to make Trump look like someone who is 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:47.360 inciting violence and is a threat to democracy, which has 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.720 then become the entire democratic campaign. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.079 Correct, And it's not just become the entire democratic campaign, 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.280 it's become a point on which they have tried to 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.480 prosecute him. And that is the real point here, right. 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.120 I mean that they were worried about the optics. Seriously, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.880 bugger the optics. The only thing that matters is defending 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.880 the capital in such a case. But of course it 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.559 was about the optics, not only the optics of having 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.680 the National Guard there, but the optics ultimately of Trump. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.439 And that is where we have led to here. That 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.640 is what they wanted. They wanted something on which they 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.960 could get him that might actually send him to jail, 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.559 because he's no in a hush money whatever. This is 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.800 all just fringe stuff, right. What they really wanted was 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.880 something on which they could get him, that could say 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.760 this man is a threat to democracy, that he has 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.959 tried to run an insurrection, that he's tried to overturn 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.800 a democratically elected president, etc. Etc. And they have pushed 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.280 that as hard as they possibly can. Now anyone who's 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:52.640 seen the footage from January sixth at the Capitol, right, 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.280 you know you've got people walking through, shaking hands with coppers, 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.360 fist bumps, all sorts of stuff being allowed to shown 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:01.240 through the building. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:02.240 Riot. 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.040 By the way, they're inside the Capitol building. This is 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:10.920 January sixth. Look at these vicious, malicious violence protested. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:11.840 It is disgusting. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.520 Right, I've got a Trump flag. This is unbelieved. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.680 And there were obviously people there on the day who 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:22.000 were violent, but the vast majority were not. And the 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.200 story you've been continually told is that the work of 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.560 the minority was the work of the majority. It wasn't. 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.319 That's how they make this an insurrection as opposed to 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.480 a few deranged nutters walking into the Capitol building and 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.200 trying to carry on. But they will stop at nothing 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.840 to get Donald Trump. By the way, the federal government 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.720 will stop at nothing to take your money away. We 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.880 know they do that via tax all the time, but 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.319 they also divert what is meant to be should be 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.400 your take home pay into superannuation because they hope that 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.800 one day you won't be relying on them for a pension. Well, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:02.480 increasingly people are spending their super money their money, by 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.599 the way, on things such as health care, because of 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.600 course they can't afford to pay for the health care 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.640 that they desperately need. Numbers that have just been released 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.520 show the increase that we've seen in people pulling out 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.560 their super And we'll show you a few graphs here, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.559 just general medical expenses. For instance, back in the twenty 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.560 eighteen nineteen financial year, you know thirty nine thousand applications, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.079 twenty six thousand were allowed. That came to three hundred 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.600 and eighty nine million. Well you're fast forward to twenty 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.600 twenty two to twenty three, You've had nearly fifty eight 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.520 thousand applications, thirty nine and a half thousand of those 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.960 have been accepted, to a whopping seven hundred and thirty 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.720 million dollars. It goes on for dental three hundred odd 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.400 million dollars, up from sixty six million dollars in twenty 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.520 eighteen nineteen. IVF has gone from thirty six point two 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:59.120 million dollars to forty seven point nine million dollars. And look, 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.200 it's all good and well. It is your money. You 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.920 ought to have access to it. But of course the 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.520 question is why are people all of a sudden dipping 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.520 into their super in such large quantities, such large amounts 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.360 of money as well to pay for their medical fees. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.400 Well it's twofold. Of course, we're in a cost of 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.720 living crisis, so people have less savings than they did 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.360 a few years ago, and they have to go to 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.120 things like super to get money. But also if you 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.280 have tried to get a private health insurance policy recently, 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.719 you will know what a rip off it is in 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.840 this country now. The rules under which they operate and 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.240 the services they are providing, which are regulated by the 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:44.240 federal government are terrible. You look at the money that 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.479 you've got to put up for a private health insurance 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.679 policy now, and most people, particularly young people, it's cheaper 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.040 when you're younger. The older you try to get into, you're. 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:55.840 Complaining about it. 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.000 Twenty five even I look at it knowing that if 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.240 I get in the system now, I'm going to be 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.360 much better off later on. I look at what they 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.200 want in terms of premiums, going my god, like, I'm 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.520 not going to use that. And then when I actually 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.960 got to try and make her claim, nine times out 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.600 of ten they knock your back. So people are having 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.800 to go to their super because it's the only thing left. 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.360 The government is shooting itself in the foot. If they 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.440 simply reformed the private health sector, perhaps had a slightly 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.480 better public health sector, they wouldn't have to go dipping 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.680 into their superannuation, which of cause is money that will 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.040 then later be paid to you in the pension because 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:33.880 you've got no money. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.040 In your super exactly. 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.520 And when you talk about the health funds not exactly 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.240 doing anybody any favors, I had to smile at doctor 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.200 Rachel David, who's the CEO of Private Healthcare Australia. She's 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.840 really concerned about people dipping into their super to pay 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.120 their medical bills because quote unquote this is robbing people 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.840 of their retirement savings and it's driving up the cost 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.080 of care for all Australians. Well, if the private health 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.080 funds weren't ripping everybody off, we wouldn't have to dip 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.840 into our super. Interestingly, the three most common procedures or 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:08.840 medical facilities that people were after were weight loss, dental 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.240 fees was a massive one, and IVF. And just on 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.040 the IVF, I can understand people dipping into their super 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.040 to pay for IVF because there's no point waiting until 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.320 you turn sixty no for the IVF treatment. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:20.600 Right. 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.960 Well, I've always said that super is such a raught 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.280 as it is. You talk about what I wrought the 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.800 private healthcare. I mean, those guys are making big bugs 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:34.480 of us, but is our system is so ridiculous and 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.800 so broken. We are the only country in the world 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:44.320 that mandatorially forces people to put almost twelve percent of 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:48.520 their income into the stock market, which most people don't 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:49.160 have the. 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.080 First clue about stocks. What are you doing with my money? 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:53.120 I'll tell you what. 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.960 They're all clipping to the ticket, to the tune of 0:15:56.000 --> 0:16:00.440 over forty billion dollars a year. They're making money off 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.520 your money while you can't make money off your money. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:09.160 And this is catastrophic, especially for low income earners, because 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.000 those people are the ones who could do with it 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.880 earlier on put it into a down payment on a house. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.480 And who among. 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.400 Us when we've got that much, talk about a dog 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.280 in the fight. We're going to make more money. We're 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.600 going to make our own money work harder for us 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.840 than these flogs who are making it work very hard 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.280 for themselves for as long as they've got it. It 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.760 seems like such a ridiculous system. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.800 I do not know why we have it. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.280 New Zealand actually has an incredible system, and it's simply 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.600 just a pension office and they pay more out in 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.960 the pension. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.360 you all get the same amount. It's just Fair's fair, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.560 that's the deal. And yes, it would mean more. We'd 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.720 have to pay more into government in order to get 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.720 the pension, but it'd be much fairer pension, which we're 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:06.240 constantly told even a dog couldn't live on. Nowadays, it 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.840 is a broken system. We've got over fifty five thousand 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:15.320 people employed in this superannuation type sector, whereas these countries 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.800 that have a simple pension have one office with however 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.640 many people in it, not many, about fifty simply processing 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:27.800 the pension four pensioners, as opposed to this raughten system 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.480 where they're making more of us than we are off 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:31.119 our own money. 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.359 The bridge are the same. But very quickly, I'll tell 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.280 you why we have the superannuation scheme that we do 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.640 the system we do in this country. It's because Paul 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.760 Keating set it up as a favor to the unions 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.639 because instead of having a government run he said to 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.440 the union as well, you can have your big industry 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.760 super funds. So they have shared loads of money swimming 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.639 around in these super funds. Exactly, they get to choose 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.240 where they invested. They invested in all sorts of weird 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.800 different things, like media companies like the New Daily. It 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.000 was just the biggest hand out the unions ever got. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.439 All the upset about people withdrawing their super to pay 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.920 their medical bills. Are people really concerned about people's retirement 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.520 savings or is it the fact that over the last 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.680 five years, it's over seven hundred million dollars has been 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.600 taken out of these super funds to pay for people's 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.960 dental work and they're just upset they're missing some of 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:17.919 their investments. 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:19.960 And is this surprising in the middle of a cost 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.600 of living crisis? According to the ABS, food has gone 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.720 up by seventeen percent since March twenty twenty. 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.320 Let's not get started on petrol. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.840 Prices, power prices. If you've got a mortgage, thirteen rate 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.520 rises later, you're gasping for air. Rents have gone up 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.200 to the tune of almost forty percent in certain areas. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:41.639 Is it any wonder. 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.600 People when they're facing a health malady. 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.439 Like this, like, I don't know where else I'm going 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.280 to get the money. It's got to be my super. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.960 But speaking of New Zealand's awesome pension fund scheme instead 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:57.760 of jolly superannuation, turns out they've done something pretty good. 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.520 This new government is actually turning out to be far 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.399 more conservative than the last, although that's not a very. 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:04.080 High bar, is it. 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:12.120 With stunning speed, New Zealand's right wing coalition government has repealed, removed, 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.480 or reversed around a dozen of what it calls race 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:20.479 based policies that enshrine the special stat status of Maori 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.040 people in national life. 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.320 Of course, the Maoris don't like this at all. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:29.520 Quoting this article, an analysis by the Ministry of Justice said, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.040 the proposal, which is what the government is looking at doing, 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:37.240 reduces Indigenous rights to a set of ordinary rights that 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.880 could be exercised by any group of citizens. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:47.399 Yeah, that's called equality. Isn't equality awesome? Don't you love equality? 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:53.200 Oh wait, you want special rights. You want superiority, not equality. 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.679 That's what you're edging for. We see what you're doing. 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:02.560 Here's Mari mp Terretti Moxin back in May saying, well, 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.919 this is just tragic. We want more than the average citizens' rights, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:07.800 Thank you very much. 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.720 Well, the point is that a lot of people in 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:15.399 our country are very concerned about the policies and the 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.919 fast track policies of this government that are and appear 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.240 to be very anti Mardy. And it wouldn't be so 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:28.040 bad if this didn't concern marty and in the name 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:31.680 of all New Zealanders. But unfortunately this has been something 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.040 that has continued since the one hundred Day planned the 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:39.240 government put in in its infancy when it best first began, 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:41.119 and for us that. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:42.640 Is just not on. 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.480 You heard it here first, Equal rights is anti Mauri? 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:52.199 Where have we heard similar to narrative before? This is 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.320 kind of funny, right because the amount of times our 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:59.640 Australian labor government has told us all the New Zealanders 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:04.080 are doing amazing. They've got this treaty, they've started this project, 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:07.040 they're building such and such, all in the name of 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:11.480 specializing the indigenous peoples there, telling us that we've got 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.080 to live up to our neighbor across the ditch. The 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.800 new government comes in and be like, we've repealed a 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:21.040 heap around a dozen we've repealed, removed, reverse, We're just 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.000 chucking it all out the window. Because this is race 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.000 based legislation and we're all New Zealanders. 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.160 The claim that this legislation is anti Maory is ironic 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:34.240 because the changes are being led by Maori politicians within 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.320 the coalition. David Seymour of the Act Party in Winston 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.080 Peters from New Zealand first. They were the ones that 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:44.399 pressured Luxton to make these changes. So it's Maori politicians 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:48.080 who are leading the charge for equality for everybody. 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.400 Much like al Just Enterprise, Warren More and others who 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.159 were doing the same during Good War. 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.840 Well suddenly they're not Maori because they believe inequality. 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.200 Some of the things the wrong kind of maury you, 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.280 you must say, some would say. Anyways, some of the. 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.119 Things they're proposing that they will scrap the rights of 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.959 Maor's to have a special veto on environmental questions. 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.520 They will help Maori kids in. 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:14.879
