WEBVTT - Sharri | 2 October

0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Live on Sky News.

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 2>This is Sharry.

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Good evening and welcome to the program. Caleb Bond with

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 3>you for the rest of the week. Well tonight, the

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Greens admit they were never a Green party and instead

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.119
<v Speaker 3>just a group of extreme left radicals. Might take on

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 3>that in a moment. Also tonight, Australian journalists caught up

0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 3>in the chaos as Iran launched its attack on Israel.

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Or your Mendez will join me live from Tel Aviv.

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Plus what's next in this new phase of war? Terror

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 3>expert Greg Barton coming up shortly and a clear winner

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 3>in the one and only vice presidential debate. But did

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 3>it move the needle? The Australian's Adam Crichton live from

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Washington a little later. Now, if you want to know

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 3>who the Greens are, just ask them. I've previously lamented

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 3>that the Greens have morphed from an environmentalist party, you know,

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 3>tree hugging and all that carry on, to a socialist,

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 3>extreme left crack pot outfit, and the federal government has

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 3>been trying to suggest the same thing. Recon This was

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 3>the Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi last Monday.

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 4>So Adam Bant has changed the way that the Green's

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 4>political Party operate. They don't talk about the environment anymore.

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 4>They talk about some extreme agenda they seek to divide.

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 3>A few days later, on Thursday, Environment Minister Tanya Plibosek

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 3>told our Laura Jay is much the same thing.

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't think the Green's political Party are the party

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 5>of Bob Brown anymore. The idea that Max Chandler may

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 5>would spend more time defending John Setka and the bikey

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 5>infiltration of the CFMU than he spends defending the environment,

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 5>I think tells you all you need to know about

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 5>the modern Greens. I just don't think this is a

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 5>party of environmentalists anymore.

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 3>She then repeated the same lines that afternoon on two GB.

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 6>In recent years, what you've seen is it's not the

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 6>party of Bob Brown anymore. It's not a party of

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 6>environmentalists anymore. It's actually a party of I think you

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 6>described it as anarchists. I don't get some of the

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 6>positions they're taking really are completely contrary to things that

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 6>they've stood up for in the past and argued for.

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Clearly, this is a message that the government is trying

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 3>to drive that the Greens have moved away from environmentalism

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 3>into wacky territory because they're worried, particularly in the city

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 3>MPs like Albanesi and Plibasic, that they are under threat

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 3>from the Greens. And I'm sure a lot of people

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 3>do look at the Greens and see the same and go, well,

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>they're a greenee party and worried about climate change. That

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.959
<v Speaker 3>sounds good enough for me. But it seems I was wrong.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>They haven't changed. They were never just an environmentalist party now.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 3>They were formed from an amalgamation of green groups from

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 3>across the country and Bob Brown, best known for farting

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 3>against dams and forestry in Tasmania, essentially built the party

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 3>that we know today. And he told the Sydney Morning

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Herald today that the Greens haven't changed at all. It's

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 3>actually labor that has somehow lurched to the right. He said,

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 3>quote the electric accept that the Greens are the best

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 3>party for the environment, but what I'm seeing now is

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.959
<v Speaker 3>the electorate seeing more and more that the same applies

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 3>for social justice. It's an evolution of understanding. The Greens

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 3>haven't changed or abandoned their aims, They've just evolved. Brown

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 3>went on, Anthony Albanzi is turning out to be the

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 3>least environmentally minded labor prime minister in a long time.

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a bit tragic that even Tanya Plibersek, who hasn't

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>turned out to be a strong environment minister, is having

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>the ground cut from underneath her repeatedly by the Prime Minister.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 3>He even said Albanzi was quote sounding like a right

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>wing National Party apparachik.

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 7>When he talked about the Greens.

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 3>The Greens of today are, according to Bob Brown, still

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 3>the Greens of his day, the party of Max Chandler Matha,

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 3>who appeared at a rally in support of the cfmy

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 3>U in August after the Union was accused of being

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 3>overrun by bikies and other criminal thugs, where people waved

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 3>signs showing the Prime Minister with a Hitler mustache calling

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.559
<v Speaker 3>him alber Nazi, the party of Marine Feruki, who pulled

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>off this pathetic stunt in the Senate just a month

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 3>after the October seven terrorist attacks on Israel.

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 8>You are not condemning Israel. You refuse to call for

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 8>an immediate cease fire. Well, we are not going to

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 8>sit here and watch you bat yourselves on the back

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 8>for doing nothing. Welworths are not going to stop war crimes.

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 8>Today we bring the people's protest into Parliament.

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Free Free Palestine.

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 6>Thank you Senator Faruki, Minister Farrell.

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 5>That was a statement, So.

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 8>Order order Senator Hanson.

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Later that month she stood next to a sign that

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 3>said keep the world clean and showed the Israeli flag

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 3>being thrown in a bin. The Party of Jenny Leong

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 3>who invoked Nazi era anti Semitic propaganda. Their tentacles reach

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 3>in to the areas.

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 9>That try influence power, and.

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.239
<v Speaker 8>I think that we need to call that out.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 10>And expose it.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 3>The party that is so shortsighted that it thinks freezing

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 3>rents will somehow magically help the housing crisis instead of

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 3>encouraging fewer people to invest in the housing market, whether

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 3>that be putting existing houses up for rent or building

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 3>new ones for people to rent in the future. In fact,

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 3>if you go to their website, they name six big

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.799
<v Speaker 3>policy platforms. The first two are freeze rents and interest

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 3>rates and stop supermarket price gouging. Then we get to

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 3>an environmental policy, stop labour's coal and gas. Then end

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 3>the invasion of Gaza dental and mental health into medicare,

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 3>and free union tafe hover over the hour plan tab

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 3>on their website and the first thing, listen, it isn't

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 3>about the environment, it's truth and Treaty where they say

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 3>that sovereignty has never been seeded. All of this far left,

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:13.359
<v Speaker 3>economically illiterate policies have nothing to do with the environment.

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 3>And Bob Brown, the renowned environmentalist, says this is still

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 3>the party he led. The Greens are a stalking horse

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 3>for radical left wing socialist ideology cloaked in environmentalism, and

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 3>if we take mister Brown at his word, that was

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 3>the plan all along. A lot of people still think

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 3>of the Greens as a green party, but they're not.

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 3>They don't want to be, and they never intended to be.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 3>They're not going to correct course back to an environmental party.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 3>This is all part of the design and that might

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 3>come as a bit of a surprise to a lot

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 3>of people who got involved with the Greens two or

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 3>three decades ago to fight for the environment. They should

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 3>just be honest, rename themselves to the socialist party, watermelons

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 3>green on the outside and read on the inside. To

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 3>keep calling themselves the Greens, I think is fraudulent. And

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 3>if we end up with a hung parliament next year.

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 3>They won't just have labor over the barrel on the environment.

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 3>It'll be the most extreme socialist stuff you can imagine.

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 3>They haven't changed, They've just ridden on the coattails of

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 3>environmentalism long enough and built up enough support to finally

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 3>drive the radical agenda they want, and Bob Brown has

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 3>admitted it.

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 7>Now.

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 3>The New South Wales Police are going to the Supreme

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Court to stop pro Palestinian rallies on October the sixth

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 3>and seventh. Monday will be the first anniversary of the

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 3>October seven terror attacks on Israel, the biggest single slaughter

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 3>of Jews since the Holocaust. Of course, now there will

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 3>be a protest on Sunday the sixth and a vigil

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 3>on Monday the seventh.

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 7>Is what we are told.

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 3>So the protest organizers followed the correct procedures in advising

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 3>the police of their intention to test, but the police believe,

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 3>given the dates in question, that they cannot be conducted

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.119
<v Speaker 3>safely and want to stop them. Both the Human Rights

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Law Center and Amnesty International have today called for the

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 3>police to withdraw their application to the court, claiming it

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 3>would inhibit the right to protest. The Palestine Action Group

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 3>is organizing the events, and their spokesman Josh Lees, said

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 3>they would go ahead regardless of what happens. He said, quote,

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 3>if we need to, we will fight this in court,

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 3>and we are confident actually that we would win this

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 3>in court. Even if we were to lose that case,

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 3>we would go ahead with our protest, no regard for

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.719
<v Speaker 3>the law and their vigil on October seven, the day

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 3>that one one hundred and thirty nine people were killed

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 3>by Hamas terrorists, is not for those victims. It's for

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 3>people who've been killed in Gaza since Lee said, it's

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 3>outrageous that the authorities would attempt to ban people's right

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 3>degree for their loved ones and family members who've been

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 3>killed forty two thousand of them in Gaza, nearly two

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 3>thousand in Lebanon. Now, No, what is outrageous is that

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 3>you would take the day of a terror attack that

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 3>emanated from Gaza and then use that to protest against

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 3>the war that it created.

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 7>This shouldn't even be a question.

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 3>It shouldn't be a matter of whether you consider yourself

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 3>pro Palestine or pro Israel. It shouldn't matter whether you

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 3>oppose the war. To hold a protest on the day

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 3>before the anniversary of the terror attack, and a vigil

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.439
<v Speaker 3>on the anniversary of the terror attack, but not a

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 3>vigil for the Jews in Israelis who were killed on

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 3>that day is repugnant and inflammatory. You have the right

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 3>to protest, and you should always have the right to protest.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 3>You're allowed to protest against the war, and they've been

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 3>doing so for a year. I will defend your right

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 3>to protest if you do it within the bounds of decency.

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 3>You don't disrupt other people's lives, no matter how much

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 3>I might disagree with you. That's just the way things

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 3>ought to be. But holding rallies on October six and

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 3>seven is not protesting. It's a slap in the face

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 3>to the innocent people who were slaughtered on October seven

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 3>and their families. It is the glorification of terrorism, pure

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 3>and simple. The organizers knew exactly what they were doing

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 3>when they planned this. It's divisive, it's inflammatory, and it

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 3>looks for all the world like they are supporting what

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 3>happened on October seven. The support and glorification of Islamis

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 3>terrorism cannot be allowed in any way. It is disgusting,

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 3>it is dangerous. It has the potential to incite violence.

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 3>You can't claim to be protesting against the loss of

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 3>civilian lives in Gaza when you won't even let Jews

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 3>and Israelis observe the anniversary of the slaughter of the

0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 3>innocent friends and family in peace. Dare you hijack such

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 3>a horrible day? You can protest any other days of

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 3>the year. Why choose October the sixth and seventh unless

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 3>you support what happened.

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 7>Nearly a year ago.

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Anyone who rocks up to these rallies next week, regardless

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 3>of the decision of the Supreme Court, should hang their

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 3>head in shame. Joining me now is former Labor minister

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Graham Richardson and Scarne New's contributor Gary Hardgrave.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 7>Gents welcome, rich O.

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 3>What do you make of a ground coming out today

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 3>basically saying the Greens are still the Greens that I

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 3>led all those years back then?

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.839
<v Speaker 11>I think I think that's rather pathetic. I had a

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 11>lot to there with Bob Brown way back when, and

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 11>there were Greens involved, but they've been gradually pushed out

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 11>of the party. It's now the hard left party of Australia.

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 11>It's got very little to do with saving trees and

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 11>everything to do with an agenda that most Australians would

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 11>find to use the word you just use repugnant.

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 7>But shouldn't we take him at his word?

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Gary, I mean, he's essentially admitting here that they never

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 3>were just a Green party. They're an extremelyft party. They

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.079
<v Speaker 3>now have enough support to do it without particularly worrying

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.079
<v Speaker 3>about getting the environmentalists offside.

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 12>Look, Caleb and rich are great to be with you both.

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 12>Let me say that the Greens are exactly what they

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 12>were always set out to be, and that is internationalists.

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 12>They don't actually care about Australia. They're trying to take

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 12>on Western civilization. Kill at Stone dead. They've used the environment,

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 12>which rich O and I we were all on a

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 12>unity ticket. We care about the environment, but we actually

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 12>care about our way alive, and we care about our freedom.

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 12>We care about the civilization has delivered us thus far.

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>We're going to have a debate about things.

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 12>But these people don't want anybody to have anything to

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 12>say except them.

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.719
<v Speaker 1>And it is an internationalist.

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 12>It is against countries like ours, it's against our civilization.

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>These people are the stalking horses.

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 12>They are, as rich I said, the extreme left of

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 12>Australia and anything extreme is bad and we've just got

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 12>a much more egalitarian approach to the world than these people,

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 12>and everything you've said, Caleb is spot on.

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm really pleased to be with you tonight, well up in.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 7>Your state of Queensland, Garry.

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Of course, we saw today that Stephen Marles, the Labor Premier,

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 3>says he would actually do a deal with the Greens

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.080
<v Speaker 3>if it to secured him government again. And you know

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 3>we always hear leaders say, oh, we won't do any

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 3>deals with anyone, but you can bet your bottom dollar

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 3>that if Anthony Albanizi is steering down the barrel of

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 3>forming government or not on the Greens of what stands

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 3>in the way, he will do it and that will

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 3>be dangerous for all of us. Now, going back to

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.199
<v Speaker 3>what I was talking about before, with these pro Palestine protests,

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>there's a woman today has been charged after allegedly waiving

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 3>a his Bala flag at last week n's protest in

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 3>sid The police said that the nineteen year old handed

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 3>herself in because they put out photographs of are imploring

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 3>her to come in and do so. And I mentioned

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 3>before these idiots who are planning to protest on October

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 3>the sixth and seventh in Sydney, even if the Supreme

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Court tells them not to, Richo, how could anyone possibly

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 3>rock up to a quote unquote pro Palestinian protest on

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 3>the sixth or seventh of October without being there to

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 3>essentially say that they support the slaughter of Jews that

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 3>occurred on October the seventh.

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 11>But they very actively do support that slaughter. That's what's

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 11>so terrifying to me about all of this. These people

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 11>have no problem sitting back and actually agreeing with the death,

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 11>the gruesome death of hundreds of people. I mean, I'll

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 11>find that just bizarre. How can you do that? No

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 11>civilized person can possibly do that.

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 3>As I said before, Gary, one of their organizers, said,

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 3>if we need to, we will fight this in court,

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 3>and we are confident actually that we would win in court.

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Even if we lose that case, we are going to

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 3>go ahead with our protests. Now, assuming that the Supreme

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Court says that this cannot go ahead, the coppers should

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 3>be down there on the weekend rounding up every single

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 3>one of these people and putting them in a cell.

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 7>And if there is anyone there who is.

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Seeming to be in support of October seventh, who is

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 3>here on a visa. As far as I'm concerned, they

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 3>should be sent packing.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 12>Look, and even if they've got permanent residency, you can

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 12>make a temporary and you can deal with those less

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 12>substantial visas pretty fast.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>They should go.

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 12>Look, I think people have come to this country to

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 12>cause this trouble right now, And Cayleb, I think some

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 12>of the organizers are heavily influenced by foreign agents who

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 12>are now living amongst us. It's pretty simple. They are

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 12>attacking Western society. These people don't care about how laws.

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 12>They are a law under them, so they'll do everything

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 12>they can. And look, I defend people's rights to free speech,

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 12>but you've got to have responsibility for it. And the

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 12>taste associated with this is really.

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Wrong, Calyb.

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 12>This is not a pro Palestine thing, This is not

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 12>a pro Gaza thing, This is not a pro Muslim thing.

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 12>These are terrorists and supporters of terroris who are taking

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 12>us on.

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got to take them on. And this is many criticism.

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 12>The Prime Minister is kind of all over the place,

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 12>you know, and if you don't know where you're going anywhere,

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 12>it will take you there. That was what George Harrison's

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 12>saying years ago, and I think that's kind of where

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 12>we're at. We are leaderlests on this stuff. We need

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 12>to sharpen our result to stand up to this nonce.

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 3>Here here now, the NDAs Minister Bill Shorten has put

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:49.200
<v Speaker 3>out this long list of unproven therapies and alternative treatments

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 3>that are now going to be officially banned from the

0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 3>National Disability Insurance Scheme. We knew this was coming. But

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 3>amongst the things that you won't be able to claim

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 3>sex work, cuddle therapy, whatever the hell that is sounds

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:06.440
<v Speaker 3>quite nice, crystal and tarot card reading. You won't be

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 3>able to get vapes anymore, though you know, you could

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 3>just go down to the local tobacconist and by an

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 3>illegal one, because that's what Albo wants you to do.

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.439
<v Speaker 3>Sidekicks have been taken off the list. You won't be

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.919
<v Speaker 3>able to go on holidays, you won't be able to

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 3>gamble your money, you won't be able to get tattoos.

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, rich Oh, I'm glad that these

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 3>things have been struck off the list. But the extraordinary

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.399
<v Speaker 3>thing is that they were a there in the first place,

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 3>and be that they were allowed to stay there for

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 3>so damn long.

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it's pretty I look at things like that and

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 11>you wonder, how could it have ever developed into that?

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 11>I don't understand in this country in particular, this is

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 11>just so foreign and so alien to our way of life?

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Why would will let it go by?

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 3>And Gary, of course, when you look at the unemployment

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 3>statistics at the moment, you look at all the jobs

0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 3>that have been created in the last quarter or so,

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 3>most of those jobs have been created in either aged

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 3>care or the NDIS. So employment's not as good in

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.159
<v Speaker 3>this country as we think it is. We're essentially just

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>propping it up through this massive government scheme that is

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 3>totally out of control. This is a good start, but

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 3>my god, there's a lot more work to do on

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:18.880
<v Speaker 3>the NDIS.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 12>Gary, Well, look, let me say I chair us an

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 12>advisory group for an NDIS provider, so I'll put that

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 12>up front. And what I know is forty two billion

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 12>dollars of taxpayers funds used to be distributed to state governments.

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 12>It's now in the hands of individuals to purchase things

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 12>that are prescribed as suitable for them and their particular

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 12>disability and their circumstance. Right, So that's the theory behind it.

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 12>But look in practice, some of these providers have done

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 12>some pretty ordinary things and I think it's great. I

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 12>think any legitimate NDIS provider would welcome what Bill Shorten

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 12>has done here.

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:54.919
<v Speaker 1>And it had to be sharpened up, it had to

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:55.640
<v Speaker 1>be tidied up.

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 12>This is meant to make a difference for individuals, and

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 12>the fact that some are exploiting it, well, look that's

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:02.159
<v Speaker 12>what happens.

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But government's got to crack down. And good on Bill

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Shorten for doing.

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.880
<v Speaker 3>It, I say, indeed, I mean, it's just so out

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.880
<v Speaker 3>of control it's not even funny. The nrama came out

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 3>today or the insurance chief came out today and said

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 3>that batteries in electric vehicles should be tested as part

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 3>of road worthiness tests. She says that it'll help quell

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:27.159
<v Speaker 3>driver fears that their cars you won't suddenly combust and

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 3>hopefully make the rest of us safer, which she thinks

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 3>will ultimately lead to a higher uptake of evs. I'm

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 3>not so sure about that, but Julie Batch says that

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 3>it should just be standard if your car is being

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.159
<v Speaker 3>assessed for road worthiness. I think she's right in so

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 3>far as saying that Richo. We know that these lithium

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 3>ion batteries can be extremely dangerous. Every second day we

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.639
<v Speaker 3>sort of seem to see a fire caused by them,

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 3>whether it be a car or an electric bike, or.

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.439
<v Speaker 7>A vapor or something or another.

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm surprised they're not assessing this stuff already.

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 11>I think we've had a concern about this for some time,

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 11>but for some reason, we've not been very good at

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 11>putting legislation in place to protect ourselves. And this is

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.159
<v Speaker 11>one thing you need to be getting protection from. You

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 11>know these things are dangerous, that the lithium batteries are

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 11>not stable, and there's been too many examples. It's not

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 11>as if there's one or two. There's examples right across

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 11>the board of these things blowing up. Well, I don't

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 11>want them blow up anywhere in near me.

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't blame you, nor do the Chinese Gary, which

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 3>is a lot of these cars are coming out of China.

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.919
<v Speaker 3>Now there are hotels and apartment buildings and whatever in

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.240
<v Speaker 3>China Gary that are now banning evs from being put

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 3>in their underground car parks because they were a dole

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 3>joints going to be set on far.

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think there's enough lemons and bombs on the

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:55.680
<v Speaker 1>road already. We don't need a few more.

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 12>But look, the other thing about it, kayleb, is that

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.120
<v Speaker 12>some of these cars are so done heavy. I don't

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 12>know whether some of the structures that we're expecting them

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 12>to go into iron I mean, could you imagine some

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 12>of these car parks that are rated for a standard

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 12>internal combustion engine car and then you've got something going

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 12>to be two and three times here there and hundreds

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 12>of them in a car park. I'm just saying to

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.680
<v Speaker 12>you there's a lot of consequences to this. These batteries

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 12>in these cars bloody heavy, and I don't know whether

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 12>some of the structures are actually built for it.

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 12>Not a structural engineer, but I just simply say there's

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 12>a lot of aspects to this rush.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 1>To these evs we need to look at.

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, indeed, just very quickly, Gary, before we go. Your

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Premier Stephen Miles said today that he'd start a publicly

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.439
<v Speaker 3>owned electricity retailer if he wins the election, which is

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 3>highly unlikely. But the funny part of it is that

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.400
<v Speaker 3>the energy generation is already owned by.

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 7>The state government. I mean, what a hair brained idea.

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, Well, we used to have state owned butcher shops

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 12>in Queensland one hundred years ago, so anything is possible.

0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 12>It's a very big state. It's decentralized. We want to

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 12>try and do things. Look, I understand what they're trying

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 12>to say, but the pitch is this putting a government

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.679
<v Speaker 12>controlled and government owned a retailer into the mix. Well,

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 12>they've already got one north of Gimpi all the way

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 12>through the rest of the coins and there's only one provider.

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:13.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.200
<v Speaker 12>They're going to have government competing with government, so the

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 12>whole thing's like a thought bubble that's suddenly going to

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 12>swallow them whole.

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Whether they win or lose, I don't know.

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.120
<v Speaker 12>They're competitive enough, and you know, two horse race, one

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 12>of them's got to win.

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll see.

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well they want to win power, that's for sure.

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Gary Hardgrave, Graham Richardson, thank you for your time. Well,

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 3>a new phase of the war in the Middle East

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 3>has begun now that Iran has launched about two hundred

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 3>rockets against Israel. Now, most of those missiles were shot

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 3>down by Israel's sophisticated air defense system, the Iron Dome,

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:48.879
<v Speaker 3>but it's believed that some of them were able to

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 3>hit the territory and the Australians Liam Mendez and Yoni

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Bashan were caught up in the chaos.

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:55.679
<v Speaker 7>Have a look at this.

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 13>Right there.

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 7>Well, that's going on for us, said four years coming,

0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.199
<v Speaker 7>missiles all the way, Cars are pulled over on the

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 7>side of people on the stomachs. We come on.

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 13>This freeway has come to the side, approx. Me one

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 13>hundred and two missiles, one hundred and two.

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Hundred and two.

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Incredible scenes that I'm joined now by Liam Mendez live

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 3>from Tel Aviv. Liam talks through what you went through

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 3>today or yesterday.

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 13>I should say, good evening, Caleb, thanks for having me. Well,

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 13>my colleague Yonni Bashan and I we've been in Tel

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 13>Aviv for the last couple of days. We're here in

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:54.920
<v Speaker 13>the lead up to the October seventh anniversary, which is approaching,

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 13>and we were just out in Tel Aviv when we

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 13>are received a notification that there was a terrorist attack

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 13>happening not too far away from our location. So we

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 13>started heading there and then after that is when we

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 13>started receiving a few more alerts telling us that essentially

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:21.439
<v Speaker 13>Iran were launching an attack. Now this was an attack

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 13>that we'd been notified of a couple of hours earlier,

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 13>at about three pm. My Yonnie had received a bit

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:37.479
<v Speaker 13>of a heads up on this, and so we were

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.880
<v Speaker 13>sort of anticipating it a little bit, but we didn't

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 13>really expect it to be this large. It was almost

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 13>two hundred rockets, some of them with these were ballistic

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 13>missiles sent from Iran into Israel.

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 3>I suppose this is not foreign to people who live

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 3>in Israel. It's certainly not the first time they've seen

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 3>this in The Iron Dome does a great job.

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 7>And I know Liam that you're.

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.679
<v Speaker 3>Not afraid to put yourself in hairy situations, but what

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.399
<v Speaker 3>was going through your head as you were taking cover?

0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, that's ry.

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.440
<v Speaker 13>We've all seen footage of the Iron Dome, but it's

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 13>quite an extraordinary sight to be seeing it in person.

0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:25.719
<v Speaker 13>You see these they look like flares, but these are

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 13>little rockets going up into the into the air and

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:35.360
<v Speaker 13>intercepting these these missiles that have been sent over by Iran,

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 13>and it was it was quite surreal to watch this interception.

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:46.000
<v Speaker 13>It's something out of Star Wars, and you know, I

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.160
<v Speaker 13>think it was just we sort of got into this

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 13>mode where we just wanted to capture exactly what was

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 13>happening on the ground here. You know, we're very lucky

0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 13>to be here, to be able to tell the stories

0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 13>here and bring these stories to our raiders.

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 7>Lea Mindez, keep safe.

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for your time, and you can follow his

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.120
<v Speaker 3>reporting in The Australian. He is a gun young reporter

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 3>and following that attack on Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin nittan

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Yahoo has warned it was a big mistake.

0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 7>He's vowing to retaliate. Have a listen.

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.200
<v Speaker 14>Iran made a major mistake this evening and it will

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.159
<v Speaker 14>pay for it. The regime in Iran just doesn't understand

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:28.400
<v Speaker 14>our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 14>to our enemies. Sinwar and death did not understand that

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 14>in Australia and Musen did not understand that, and I

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 14>guess there are those who do not understand that in

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 14>teh Run.

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 3>US President Joe Biden has also offered his support.

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:46.520
<v Speaker 10>The attack peers to have been defeated and ineffective, and

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 10>this is testament Israeli military capability and US military.

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Make no mistake.

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 10>The United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel.

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's get some expert analysis. I'm joined now by dec

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:05.560
<v Speaker 3>University Global Islamic Politics Chair Professor Grigg Barton. Greg is

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 3>this essentially a declaration of all out war?

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:12.919
<v Speaker 15>No, okay, I'm not yet. It's thankfully well short of that.

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 15>Strangers that may seem. It still seems to be the

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:19.200
<v Speaker 15>case that neither Israel nor Iran want in all out war.

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Israel would have the better of Iran.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 15>Iran and for its bluff and blusters, looking more like

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 15>a paper tiger. But the trip now is to manage

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 15>what happens next. There has to be some sort of

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 15>retaliation as a promise and has.

0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Said without escalation. I mean, the.

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 15>Struggle against his Bulla is going to tax all of

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 15>Israel's resources. That doesn't need to be dealing with Iran

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:44.679
<v Speaker 15>at the same time. And Iran can't afford to get

0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 15>drawn into something bigger. So let's hope they find an

0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:47.439
<v Speaker 15>off ramp for this.

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Will you say Iran can't afford to get drawn into

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 3>too something bigger? What would it look like for Iran

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 3>if this did escalate?

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 15>Well, the worst case scenario is a regional war with

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.200
<v Speaker 15>direct strikes in Iran, which would be which can certainly

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 15>devastate the regime, but it would come with a tremendous

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 15>civilian casualties.

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, most Iranians loathe this regime.

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 15>They're stuck with it. They have no choice. They know

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 15>that it destroys their country. You know, they live with

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:18.120
<v Speaker 15>the difficulties or economy every day because of this regime.

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 15>Let's hope that become victims of it. If this regime

0:28:21.880 --> 0:28:26.440
<v Speaker 15>takes them mental lar Irani vulnerable. It doesn't have the

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 15>defense systems to affect itself against aerial assaults if it

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:32.720
<v Speaker 15>comes to that, So it knows that hopefully that's enough

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:34.359
<v Speaker 15>to defer it from going further.

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Now, of course, all of this has been triggered by

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Israel's incursion into living On because they want.

0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 7>To push back his bla.

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Hezbilla, like the Hooties, is funded by Iran. Iran has seen.

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 3>It's a warning shot, if you want to call it that,

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 3>for Israel trying to push hez Balah back.

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 7>But where to from here?

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.360
<v Speaker 3>For Israel, they're not going to give up on this,

0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 3>and nor should they. If this continues, not only Lebanon

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 3>but Iran.

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 7>How far could they go?

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 15>That's a really good question, you know, one of the

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 15>reasons that Iran is feeling or the euragim I should say,

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 15>it is feeling that it's lost face.

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 2>It has to do something. Hence the missile strikes today.

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 15>Is the assassination of Ismail Hania important to them, not

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 15>so much because they care about Ismail Hania, this former

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 15>Hamas leader, but because it happened in a Islamic revolutionary

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 15>guards called VIP guest house, where it appears a explosive

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 15>device was planted a well ahead of time, which means

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 15>that their intelligence structure is being penetrated by the Israelis.

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 15>And of course that's now been brought home that the

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 15>Israelis penetrated the intelligent structure of his buller, probably because

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 15>of his boy's involvement in supporting the Basha all aside

0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 15>in Syria. It gave them a chance to really get

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 15>deep inside their social networks obviously their supply chaines as

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 15>miss all of the pages and the walkie talkies, but

0:29:56.600 --> 0:30:01.720
<v Speaker 15>also to locate the precise location of the bunker huss

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 15>and Ustraller and senior lieutenants were in and take it out.

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:08.479
<v Speaker 15>So that must be very chilling for the Regiamentehran. So

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 15>on the one hand, they want to respond and show

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 15>themselves to be strong. On the other hand, they fear

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 15>going too far and you know, perhaps finding that there's

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 15>more pre planted explosive devices or targeted assassinations on senior leaders.

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Greg, thank you so much for your time still to come.

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Victoria's housing crisis ranked the worst in the country.

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 7>I'll tell you why shortly.

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Plus, the last debate of the US election had everyone talking.

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 7>So who won it? And will move the needle?

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 3>As Americans prepared to head to the polls, Washington correspondent

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Adam Crichton will join me to break that down next.

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 7>Don't go away.

0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm sure like me.

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 3>You had your popcorn out this morning. May be a

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 3>sneaky beer as well. You know, it's twelve o'clock somewhere

0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 3>because the vice presidential nominees faced off for their one

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 3>and only debate, which will probably be the last debate

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 3>of this entire elect So Tim Waltzon JD. Vance spent

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 3>ninety minutes clashing over the Middle East, abortion, in the economy,

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 3>but the most entertaining questions when both candidates were asked

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 3>about comments they'd made in the past.

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 9>Have a look, Senator Vance. In twenty sixteen, you called

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 9>your running mate Donald Trump unfit for the nation's highest office,

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 9>and you said he could be America's hitler.

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 16>Sometimes, of course, I've disagreed with the President, but I've

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 16>also been extremely open about the fact that I was

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 16>wrong about Donald Trump.

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 9>Governor Walls, you said you were in Hong Kong during

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 9>the deadly Teneman Square protests in the spring of nineteen

0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 9>eighty nine, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 9>are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 9>August of that year. Can you explain that discrepancy.

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 12>I've tried to do the best I can, but I've

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 12>not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times.

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 7>Indeed a knuckle hit.

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure lots of people might agree with that. And

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 3>then when it came to fact checking, he happed the JD.

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Evans by the way he wasn't having it. He pushed

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 3>back by explaining why the moderators were wrong.

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 9>Take a look for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 9>a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 9>temporary protected Laura, thank you, Senator. We have so much

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 9>to get to.

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important to turn out of the economy.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Margaret.

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 16>The rules were that you got we're going to fact check,

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 16>and since you're fact checking me, I think it's important

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 16>to say what's actually going.

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 7>On, Mike Drop.

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean JD events wiped the floor with Tim Waltz.

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:39.560
<v Speaker 3>He was composed, he was calm. He easily dismantled the

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 3>attacks leveled by Waltz and at times the moderators. He

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 3>just looked like he knew what he was doing much

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 3>more than Waltz did, which is probably not a surprise

0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 3>because Vance does a lot of interviews all the time,

0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 3>including with lefty media outlets, so he knows how to

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:57.760
<v Speaker 3>deal with their attacks. Well, I'm joined now by The

0:32:57.760 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Australian's Washington correspondent Adam Crichton. Adam, what do you make

0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 3>of my assessment? I think JD did a really good

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:06.800
<v Speaker 3>job today.

0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.800
<v Speaker 17>Look, I think at one hundred percent I agree with

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 17>you spot on there. I mean it was a very

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 17>good debate for JD.

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Evans.

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 17>I mean I think he probably exceeded expectations. I mean

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 17>lots of people are saying that you know that Tim

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 17>Waltz was at an unfair advantage, but I mean, remember

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 17>he is twenty years older than JD.

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Evans.

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 17>He's had a lot more experience as a politician, so

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 17>he should have done better.

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 7>But I mean he had a lot of clangers.

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 17>I mean you highlighted one. I think another one that

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 17>needs to be mentioned, and I really felt sorry for

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 17>Waltz is when he accidentally said that he'd become friends with.

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 3>School shooting Well, you mentioned that, Adam Marrion, you mentioned that.

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Let's I've got the clip here, let's play the clip

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 3>here is Tim Waltz.

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 8>You previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it only

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 8>later in.

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 9>Your political career did you change your position.

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 7>Why?

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's set in that office with the Sandigog parents.

0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it.

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 7>Oh no, so painful.

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 17>It was terrible, terrible, terrible, And of course that's gone viral.

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:10.839
<v Speaker 17>I mean, of all the statements in the debate, that's

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 17>the one I think that people are going to remember,

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 17>especially if they've been using social media. I mean, Donald

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 17>Trump even took advantage of it. Certainly, I think the

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 17>ninety minute debate has given Republicans a lot of confidence

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 17>in this fifth week out from polling day. Certainly that's

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 17>the case whether it actually moves the needle, it's probably

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 17>not going to. I did note that in those few

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 17>snap polls that CNN RN that CBS ran, they asked

0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 17>people if the debate had changed their mind, and only

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 17>one percent of people said that it had, So I

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 17>think by this stage a lot of people have made

0:34:39.760 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 17>up their mind. But nevertheless, it was a great night

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 17>for theirs. It was a good night for Republicans, and

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:46.359
<v Speaker 17>I probably think Democrats were thinking. Some of them would

0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:49.160
<v Speaker 17>have been thinking, I wish we had have chosen Josh Shapiro,

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 17>the governor of Pennsylvania.

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:53.720
<v Speaker 7>But anyway, yeah, I'm sure.

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 3>They were going to say that as ordinary as Tim

0:34:56.040 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Woltz was, I was watching that debate in part thinking,

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:05.880
<v Speaker 3>imagine if these two were the presidential nominees. Because the

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 3>debate they had today was not a slanging match. It

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 3>wasn't a personality contest. They actually debated the policy. You

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 3>didn't have the personal attacks you had between Trump and

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Barden and then Trump and Harris. They actually had a

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 3>lot of common ground and conceded points to each other.

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:29.279
<v Speaker 3>It was conciliatory politics, and I was watching, going, my god,

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 3>this is what has.

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:32.760
<v Speaker 7>Been missing from US politics for a long time.

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:37.839
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, look, certainly, that's right. I thought exactly the same thing.

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 17>It was really HARKing back to a different era. And

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 17>I suppose it's a basis to be confident for the

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:45.399
<v Speaker 17>future of US politics once the Trump era passes. I mean,

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 17>I also had the thought that really Advances are better

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 17>candidate than Trump, or has I thought? But you know,

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 17>I mean, he's certainly, I think, at least a future

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:56.200
<v Speaker 17>president in the making.

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 7>And you know, he had a very good night yea.

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, look and if Trump doesn't get up in November,

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.319
<v Speaker 3>you'd have to think that in twenty twenty eight they'd

0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:07.600
<v Speaker 3>be looking very seriously at Advance after that performance. He

0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 3>is just polished and professional and young and everything that

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 3>I think the Republicans need to be looking towards.

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:15.399
<v Speaker 7>Adam, thank you for your time.

0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 3>After the break, China's blunt message on Taiwan in Adelaide,

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:22.320
<v Speaker 3>that story coming up, plus the renewables row is heating

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 3>up as Labour and the Coalition prepare for the looming election.

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Tonight's political panel joins me next. So much more to

0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 3>get through tonight, So let's get straight into the political

0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:36.240
<v Speaker 3>news of the day. We're meant to have a panel,

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 3>but to Liberal MP Andrew Wallace has sort of disappeared

0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 3>into the ether somewhere, so we'll try to get him back.

0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 3>But in the meantime we're joined by Labour MP Daniel Molino.

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:48.239
<v Speaker 3>Daniel the Herald Son is reporting today that detectives are

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.520
<v Speaker 3>on the hunt for eight activists who were allegedly involved

0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 3>in that violent Landforces Expo protest or Day Days of

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.479
<v Speaker 3>protests that we saw in Melbourne last month.

0:36:58.520 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 7>This is the bastion task.

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:02.719
<v Speaker 3>They put out the photos of these people in the

0:37:02.719 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 3>hopes that someone might recognize and let's hope they are

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:09.840
<v Speaker 3>found and if so, that the police press charges because

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:14.480
<v Speaker 3>what we saw on those days, things being thrown at police, horses, etc.

0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 7>Was horrific.

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:20.640
<v Speaker 16>Oh hi, Caleb, and thanks for having me on look.

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 16>I totally agree that there's something contradictory and in a

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:29.799
<v Speaker 16>lot of ways ridiculous about undertaking very violent acts in

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:32.960
<v Speaker 16>trying to argue for peace, and what we saw at

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:37.600
<v Speaker 16>those demonstrations and some other demonstrations has been really over

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:41.240
<v Speaker 16>the top. And as you identified, we had dangerous liquids

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:45.760
<v Speaker 16>thrown at horses, marbles thrown at horses, violent acts against

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:49.279
<v Speaker 16>the police and others, and I think it's imperative that

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:53.680
<v Speaker 16>we do find people that have not only undertaken actions

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 16>that fly in the face of what they're arguing for,

0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:58.680
<v Speaker 16>but that in cases are illegal. And I might just

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 16>add that this is something that I've raised on this

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 16>show before that my electorate office has, in fact, like

0:38:05.000 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 16>a number of other electric officers, has been subject to

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:13.280
<v Speaker 16>violent actions, smearing by paint and broken glass.

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:15.560
<v Speaker 1>And similarly, it's very.

0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 16>Important that people who undertake those kinds of actions are

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 16>held to account.

0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, if they're not held to account, they just continue

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 3>doing it. They get away with it. It's a bit like

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:28.360
<v Speaker 3>the crazy eco activists who keep blocking coal trains and

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:29.000
<v Speaker 3>things like this.

0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:30.360
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you know, they do it.

0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 3>They vandalize a building, they glue themselves to the road,

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 3>whatever it might be. They go off to court, they

0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 3>get given a four hundred dollar fine, and then they

0:38:37.760 --> 0:38:39.600
<v Speaker 3>go out and do it again the next day. I mean,

0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:43.320
<v Speaker 3>an example needs to be made of these people to say,

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:46.279
<v Speaker 3>if you try this on, we ain't going to take it.

0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 16>I think one of the messages that comes through in

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 16>some of these protests, and one that I agree with,

0:38:55.360 --> 0:39:00.319
<v Speaker 16>is that there are rules in war, but ironically, there

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:01.759
<v Speaker 16>have got to be rules in the way that we

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 16>undertake debates in our community. There have got to be

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:05.840
<v Speaker 16>rules in public protests.

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:06.280
<v Speaker 7>Also.

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:10.279
<v Speaker 16>If we don't abide by basic rules such as not

0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:13.520
<v Speaker 16>being violent, such as not intimidating people. If we don't

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 16>abide by those kinds of rules, it threatens our very

0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:20.520
<v Speaker 16>civil society, It threatens democracy. So I think we have

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:22.879
<v Speaker 16>to set up basic rules. I think all of us

0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:27.279
<v Speaker 16>agree with freedom of speech. It's absolutely foundational to our society,

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 16>to our ability to express ourselves, to the strength of

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 16>our democracy. But there have to be rules as to

0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:35.480
<v Speaker 16>how we engage in debates.

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 3>Now we do have Andrew Wallace back with us, but

0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 3>we only have the audio at the moment. I want

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:43.759
<v Speaker 3>to get into Jim Charmers, the Treasurer. He's pumping up

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 3>his economic record to say its frankly a wild claim

0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:50.800
<v Speaker 3>that the coalition government would have run up fifty five

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:55.399
<v Speaker 3>and a half billion dollars worth of deficits instead of surpluses.

0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 3>He's told The Australian that if he had banked around

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.600
<v Speaker 3>forty percent of revenue you upgrade the average under the

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Abbott Turnbull Morrison years, his budget would be.

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:06.200
<v Speaker 7>In the red.

0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 3>But Andrew, I'm not sure it's entirely fair, given you

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:12.880
<v Speaker 3>have to take into account COVID.

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 7>You're a spending is it?

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:20.880
<v Speaker 18>Well, Caleb, I just don't think anybody can believe what

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:23.239
<v Speaker 18>Jim Charmer says. I mean, this is the guy that

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 18>constantly talked about the coalition government allegedly ringing up a

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 18>trillion dollars worth of debt. But we know that that

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:35.560
<v Speaker 18>was a bold faced lie because it was nothing like that.

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:39.640
<v Speaker 18>It was closer to five hundred billion dollars And of

0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:42.080
<v Speaker 18>course that is a lot of money, but it's half

0:40:42.120 --> 0:40:45.000
<v Speaker 18>of what Jim Charmers went to the last election. In fact,

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:48.239
<v Speaker 18>he's even been talking about it since then. But it

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:53.319
<v Speaker 18>doesn't take into account the enormous spending that the then

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:56.480
<v Speaker 18>coalition government had to do to bring the country out

0:40:56.480 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 18>of its worst economic crisis is the Great Depression during COVID,

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:01.520
<v Speaker 18>and it was Jim Chalmers.

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:04.000
<v Speaker 2>That was encouraging us to be putting.

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.759
<v Speaker 18>More money, borrowing more money to put into the economy.

0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:09.840
<v Speaker 18>So you know, it's a bit rich for Jim Charmers

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 18>to be coming out and saying this.

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 16>Now, Daniel, your response, Oh, look what I'd say first

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 16>and foremost is I think it's really important in these

0:41:18.840 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 16>debates about surpluses and defasts just to remember we're not

0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:25.399
<v Speaker 16>trying to achieve surpluses for their own sake. Here, they're

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:28.879
<v Speaker 16>not an end. Why we're achieving surpluses is to try

0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 16>and put downward pressure on inflation, which is critical to

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:34.720
<v Speaker 16>getting to the point where we can see interest rates fall.

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 16>And I just wanted to say that Michelle Bullock, who

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:39.279
<v Speaker 16>appeared in front of the committee that I chair, has

0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:43.440
<v Speaker 16>reinforced that the surpluses that we're delivering have been helping

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:46.200
<v Speaker 16>with that. I think the point with the savings of

0:41:46.239 --> 0:41:49.239
<v Speaker 16>the uplift is simply to make the point that the

0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 16>surpluses that we've delivered in the first two years were

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 16>on the back of identifying savings but also banking a

0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 16>very high proportion of the fiscal uplift, and that was

0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:02.799
<v Speaker 16>responsible economic management. And I think that's the core point

0:42:02.840 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 16>that's being made indeed.

0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 3>But Michelle Bellot did also say that some high government

0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:11.440
<v Speaker 3>spending was one of the contributors to inflation. So yes,

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:14.880
<v Speaker 3>banking a surplus mean means that there is less spending,

0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:17.759
<v Speaker 3>but spending could go down further. I think is part

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:18.760
<v Speaker 3>of the point here as well.

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:20.400
<v Speaker 7>In your state.

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Though, Victoria's so go on, Daniel, you're going to respond

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 3>there with no, that.

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:26.319
<v Speaker 18>Was me cann So I was just going to say,

0:42:27.239 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 18>in relation to that point of Daniels, the Labor government

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 18>wants to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Here.

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:39.160
<v Speaker 18>It's doing everything it can to drive into the ground

0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:44.240
<v Speaker 18>the mining and resources sector. Without the mining and resources sector,

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:47.360
<v Speaker 18>Australia's Australian's quality of life.

0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Will suffer dramatically.

0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:53.920
<v Speaker 18>So I think that the benefits that have been bequeathed

0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:56.560
<v Speaker 18>to Jim Chalmers as treasure of this country have in

0:42:56.600 --> 0:42:59.320
<v Speaker 18>no small part been as a result of the great

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:02.520
<v Speaker 18>work of the mind industry. And that's I just don't

0:43:02.560 --> 0:43:06.040
<v Speaker 18>know how he or the Labor government expect to be

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:09.759
<v Speaker 18>able to continue to provide the sort of services that

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:15.399
<v Speaker 18>are striving and demand when they do want to kill

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:16.960
<v Speaker 18>the goose that laid the golden neck.

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Now, two things to get through very quickly here, Daniel.

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:23.640
<v Speaker 3>In your state, Victoria, you've been ranked the worst out

0:43:23.680 --> 0:43:25.440
<v Speaker 3>of all the states when it comes to tackling the

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:29.239
<v Speaker 3>housing crisis and the Allen government's refusal to wind back

0:43:29.280 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 3>property taxes has seen industry confidence.

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:33.720
<v Speaker 7>Plummet in the sector.

0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 3>It's put to me by people in Victoria who own

0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:38.879
<v Speaker 3>property that they feel like they are an enemy of

0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:41.520
<v Speaker 3>the state. Very quickly, Daniel, what's your response to that.

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:45.840
<v Speaker 16>So just don that I saw some of the commentary

0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:48.640
<v Speaker 16>around that today and look, I did see some commentary

0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:51.960
<v Speaker 16>from the Property Council, for example, in an article that

0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:54.200
<v Speaker 16>got a bit of coverage. I mean, I would also

0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:57.920
<v Speaker 16>say that I agree with commentators, including the Property Council,

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:02.399
<v Speaker 16>who say that this is really ply side issue. I'd

0:44:02.440 --> 0:44:04.960
<v Speaker 16>note that the Property Council have also come out and

0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:08.280
<v Speaker 16>said that it is really important that we get measures

0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:11.480
<v Speaker 16>in place like Bill to Rent. The Property Council backed

0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:14.000
<v Speaker 16>in the half as a really important supply side measure,

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 16>so they've actually been backing the work of the federal government.

0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:20.960
<v Speaker 16>And it's very frustrating that we have two bills in

0:44:21.000 --> 0:44:24.360
<v Speaker 16>the Senate stuck with the opposition and the Greens playing

0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:27.480
<v Speaker 16>political games and stopping measures which I think go right

0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:28.200
<v Speaker 16>to the heart.

0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:28.840
<v Speaker 7>Of this issue.

0:44:29.040 --> 0:44:31.840
<v Speaker 3>And quickly before we go, Andrew, there's a Chinese diplomat

0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:34.479
<v Speaker 3>has warned that the Taiwan question is at the core

0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:35.720
<v Speaker 3>of Beijing's interest.

0:44:35.760 --> 0:44:36.840
<v Speaker 7>He said the.

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Family reunion is not complete without all family members, including Taiwan.

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:46.440
<v Speaker 3>This is South Australia's Consul General Lee Dong. He made

0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.880
<v Speaker 3>these comments at a Chinese national dinner that were hosted

0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:52.600
<v Speaker 3>by Premier Peter Malinowskis thirty seconds Andrew.

0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 7>He stood up at a dinner.

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:55.400
<v Speaker 3>That the States put on for him and told the

0:44:55.400 --> 0:44:56.640
<v Speaker 3>state how things should go.

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:02.040
<v Speaker 18>Well and if he he had his way, that the

0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 18>Labor Premier in South Australia and the Prime ministry of

0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:07.880
<v Speaker 18>this country would be dancing to the tune.

0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:10.560
<v Speaker 2>But look, I was in Taiwan in April.

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:14.440
<v Speaker 18>They are a very important democracy, one of our largest

0:45:14.480 --> 0:45:17.960
<v Speaker 18>trading partners, despite their relatively small size.

0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:20.200
<v Speaker 2>It is imperative that.

0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 18>We continue to support Taiwan as a free and open democracy.

0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:28.320
<v Speaker 18>And I think we need to be pushing back both

0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:33.960
<v Speaker 18>against the hyperbole of the Chinese government in relation to

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 18>its desire to want to reunify Taiwan by force if necessary.

0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Daniel Molino Andrew Wallace, thank you for persisting and thank

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:45.439
<v Speaker 3>you for your time. Well, whose energy is cheaper? That's

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the latest argument between Labor and the coalition, So they

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:51.480
<v Speaker 3>try to Sway vote as ahead of an imminent election.

0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:53.000
<v Speaker 3>We'll get into all of that next.

0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:45:57.160 --> 0:45:59.439
<v Speaker 3>We saw a US government report earlier in the week

0:45:59.480 --> 0:46:03.040
<v Speaker 3>which said that energy generation and transmission costs thirty seven

0:46:03.080 --> 0:46:07.239
<v Speaker 3>percent less when renewables and nuclear are combined. Will Chris

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Bowen hit back rather predictably. Sorry, today, you said that

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:13.359
<v Speaker 3>if the Opposition ever gets around to doing their day

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 3>job and releasing honest costings, that it will be clear

0:46:16.160 --> 0:46:20.120
<v Speaker 3>that renewables are cheaper than nuclear every time, the cheapest

0:46:20.160 --> 0:46:22.759
<v Speaker 3>form of energy anywhere. Apparently, Well, let's bring in The

0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Australian's Environment editor, Graham Lloyd. Chris Bowen's just dismissed the

0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.839
<v Speaker 3>report out of hand. I think it's a bit premature.

0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 19>Yes, good evening, Caleb, Well, certainly. I guess the question

0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:40.840
<v Speaker 19>is has Chris Bowen read the report, and he probably should.

0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:44.920
<v Speaker 19>It's something from the US government, it's an official report

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:50.799
<v Speaker 19>and it certainly shows that on their analysis that agrid

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:54.840
<v Speaker 19>that has a large base load power supply such as ours,

0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:58.440
<v Speaker 19>will be cheaper if a portion of that is replaced

0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:03.880
<v Speaker 19>with nuclear energy to back up renewables. It's something that

0:47:03.920 --> 0:47:06.879
<v Speaker 19>the Opposition has been talking about. The report lays out

0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:11.080
<v Speaker 19>a lot of the arguments they've made about using existing infrastructure,

0:47:11.760 --> 0:47:15.880
<v Speaker 19>having a higher paid, better jobs in a nuclear industry

0:47:15.920 --> 0:47:19.200
<v Speaker 19>and other things. But the import of it is it

0:47:19.360 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 19>really demonstrates how serious the Biden administration is in really

0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:29.560
<v Speaker 19>working up the nuclear industry, both in terms of large

0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:35.000
<v Speaker 19>scale nukes, the small modul reactors and microreactors, which.

0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Are all in development.

0:47:36.200 --> 0:47:39.680
<v Speaker 19>They are all some way down the track. What they're

0:47:39.719 --> 0:47:43.520
<v Speaker 19>saying is that they will get progressively cheaper as more

0:47:43.560 --> 0:47:47.000
<v Speaker 19>of them are developed and put into production. So the

0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:50.319
<v Speaker 19>government is looking at ways that it can encourage the

0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:53.759
<v Speaker 19>role out of these things to bring the unit costs down.

0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:58.520
<v Speaker 19>And once they're fully established, there's a hierarchy of comparison

0:47:58.600 --> 0:48:03.360
<v Speaker 19>there and with carbon capture and storage will be the cheapest,

0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:07.879
<v Speaker 19>nuclear will be the next, and then fully firmed renewables

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 19>will be more expensive than them, both slightly. So Australia

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:16.399
<v Speaker 19>in a long term planning would be wise to look

0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:20.200
<v Speaker 19>at this very closely. It's something that's happening in the UK,

0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:23.879
<v Speaker 19>it's happening in the US, it's happening in Europe, and

0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:28.160
<v Speaker 19>things are moving and the projections are that costs will

0:48:28.200 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 19>come down, but it will take time, We've.

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Only got fifty seconds gram but I think it proves

0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:36.080
<v Speaker 3>once again that nuclear at the very least should be

0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:39.719
<v Speaker 3>on the table. But the federal government refuses to do that,

0:48:39.840 --> 0:48:41.759
<v Speaker 3>I think out of pride because they don't want to

0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:42.439
<v Speaker 3>be proven wrong.

0:48:45.120 --> 0:48:45.319
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:50.439
<v Speaker 19>Well, certainly they're out of sync with what a lot

0:48:50.440 --> 0:48:53.360
<v Speaker 19>of other large countries are doing, and we should at

0:48:53.440 --> 0:48:54.120
<v Speaker 19>least have the option.

0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, absolutely, and the fact that they don't even look

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:01.320
<v Speaker 3>at it is a disgrace. I think, just very quickly though,

0:49:01.520 --> 0:49:03.840
<v Speaker 3>why doesn't the coalition just come out with the numbers.

0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:06.719
<v Speaker 3>They must have the numbers by now. Why can't they

0:49:06.760 --> 0:49:08.319
<v Speaker 3>just give us the numbers and put all of this

0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:10.839
<v Speaker 3>stuff to bed and effectively shut the government up.

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:16.319
<v Speaker 19>Well, I think the numbers they're always going to be

0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:20.000
<v Speaker 19>open to dispute or contests about whether they're the right

0:49:20.080 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 19>numbers or whether they're not. I think the coalition has

0:49:23.600 --> 0:49:27.279
<v Speaker 19>to have a much more detailed plan of how it

0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:31.080
<v Speaker 19>will fund and implement these things so that there's some

0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:33.440
<v Speaker 19>security about what they're saying is correct.

0:49:33.800 --> 0:49:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Graham Lloyd, thank you for your time, and that's it

0:49:36.160 --> 0:49:38.319
<v Speaker 3>for me for this hour. I'll be back in one

0:49:38.360 --> 0:49:40.719
<v Speaker 3>hour at ten pm for the late debate. Don't miss it.

0:49:40.719 --> 0:49:42.879
<v Speaker 3>I'll be back at eight o'clock tomorrow for Sharry again.

0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:50.120
<v Speaker 3>But up now, the Great Paul Murray
