WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 5 June 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:05.240 From the Skying New Center. This is Paul Murray Live 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.920 a Wednesday at the start of winter one for the 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:11.840 hard course tonight. Thank you very much for watching wherever 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:13.360 you're happy to be. Thank you so much for Sharry. 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:17.480 See her again same time tomorrow night. Now, big news 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:21.800 today in the war on censoring the Internet. As we 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.160 know the stabbing that took place in western Sydney a 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.280 couple of months ago. We all know what the result 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.200 of that was. We know the national conversation that we 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.040 had to have about whether you could or could not 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.640 look at the crime, the alleged stabbing. I have to 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.680 say that because someone's before the courts and we were 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.360 told of the time for our own good, it must 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:45.400 be censored from the Internet, particularly from the platform formerly 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:46.240 known as Twitter. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.440 It is vital that we don't use social media as 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.760 a tool for division and fear, but instead as an 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:59.120 instrument of solidarity and social cohesion. Online spaces should be 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.840 safe for everyone, no matter a person's culture, faith or background. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.759 Now this conversation should have also been accompanied by a 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.360 national chat about radicalization. In the space of a couple 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.960 of weeks, ten teenagers were arrested by police on the 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.480 assumption that they had been radicalized by barsadized version of Islam. 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.959 But no, that would be too difficult a thing for 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.120 this government to have to deal with. So instead it 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.319 was a pile on Elon Musk because he thought that 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:33.080 Australia's rules should only extend as far as Australia. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.319 We're seeing mego maniacs like Elon Musk going to court 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.160 to fight for the right to show terrorist content, alleged 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.200 terrorist content on his platform. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.240 Its just shaws his arrogance. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.880 This is an egotist, totally out of touch. He clearly 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.480 sees this as a vanity project for himself. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.480 Elo must has no social conscience or conscience whatsoever. Quite frankly, 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.800 the biker should be jailed the power that that man 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.520 has because that platform that he's on, it's got to stop. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.440 That bloke has no conscience. He is an absolute freaking disgrace. 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.920 And there's nothing else to say about Alel Musk. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.440 So of course it all went off to court. They 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.320 got their early win, but then X started to fight back. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:19.560 They won an injunction and now today we learn that 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.440 the e Safety Karen is no longer going to be 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.800 pursuing the matter. The matter is now done. X wins, 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.200 the video stays, and the e safety Karen says this 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.640 is the reason why her fight must end for now. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:42.600 After considering multiple litigations, the prudent use of public funds, 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.240 and the faylanks of lawyers that ex Corp Has lined 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.440 up in the Federal court, we thought it made the 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.120 most sense to have an independent test and of a 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:58.280 merits review through the aat of why we issued the 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.320 class one notice don't you love this? 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.120 Or the prudent use of taxpayer funds? This is an 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.200 instrument of the same government that spends six hundred thousand 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.680 dollars on a speech writer. This is the same government 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:18.519 that spends forty million dollars on advertising of tax changes. 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.000 This is the same government that will buy not one, 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.320 but two brand new private planes for the Prime Minister. Yes, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.560 ordered under the previous government, but not canceled by this government, 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:33.000 had more than four hundred million dollars. Perhaps the ultimate 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.920 reality is that they knew the case wouldn't stand because 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.120 while the powers exist in Australia, you cannot expect the 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.520 rest of the world have to take this thing down now. 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:47.360 I very much believe that videos celebrating crime should be 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.480 taken down as soon as possible. But the heavy handed 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.400 approach here had the attempt of the government to change 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.840 the subject from the real one, which was the radicalization 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:01.520 of teens serves as a message of priorities, and the 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.240 priority wasn't the video. The priority was the other stuff 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.600 on the internet that sends teenagers kids born here nuts 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.119 in the name of a bastardized version of their religion. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.960 Now today we had to put up with the nonsense 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.560 spectacle that apparently the Labor Party is drawing a line 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:26.520 about the behavior of the Greens. Now today both sides 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.000 of major party politics, Well, they turned on the Greens 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.680 because in part they had said that they had had 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.240 enough of what the Greens have been saying when it 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.800 comes to Gaza, the sort of stuff that ends up 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:41.520 giving apparent moral justification to lunatics who have been vandalizing 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.760 the officers of Australian politicians. Now you do notice that 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.640 none of these things were being said automatically in our parliament, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.880 when it wasn't the MP's officers that were being attacked, 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.440 when it was just members of the public and a 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.320 bit of back and forth. Well, you know, it's all 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.400 part of free speech right well now that it's hit home, 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:04.640 particular for Labour Party MPs. We got the scenario today 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.560 where both sides of Parliament agreed the Greens are terrible 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:13.120 in this area and they use the lowest of issues 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.000 to make political points in this country. First, Peter Dutton. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.560 We stand as one in this chamber, or we should 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.279 stand as one to make sure that we condemned the 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.560 unacceptable levels of antisemitism that we see playing out on 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:30.280 our streets. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.800 It has no place and we. 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.120 Will take everything, every action we need as a chamber 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.640 to make sure that we condemn those acts of antisemitism 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:40.640 in our country. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:41.680 And the Green's. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.120 Political party today is properly and rightly condemned. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:47.640 Albow in response. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:53.320 It is unacceptable that misinformation has been consciously and deliberately 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:58.320 spread by some Green senators and Mpece have engaged in 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:04.320 this damn'sts outside offices and online. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.599 And then of course the Green's got to respond and 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.279 point the finger at anyone but themselves about the behavior 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.880 that has got out of control in the country since October. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.760 I will not be lectured to about peace and nonviolence 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.080 by people who back the invasion of Gazo. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:30.080 Children are dying children are dying because the Israeliami has 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.040 engineered a famine and instead. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.400 Of talking about the victims of Burron, Minister wants to 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:36.760 make it about himself. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.960 Now, interestingly, the Green's leader is not alone in his worldview. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:44.560 We know that about some of the things that have 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.640 been happening on the streets. But tonight there's a story 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.640 which is broken on the front page of the Australian 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.520 newspaper that apparently there are members of the Defense Force, 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.800 people who are in the Australian Defense Force who are 0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:00.360 signing anti Israel petitions. We're talking about people from the 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.479 Human Rights Commission, we are talking about the people who 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:09.000 supposedly understand the limits of military power. Now, again, whatever 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.000 your view on whether the state of Israel and the 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.040 government of Israel has gone too far, the idea that 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:19.600 people inside the Australian Defense Force are trying to side 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.280 not but the people of Palestine. But of course the 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:27.400 military force of Hamas is a disgrace. But of course 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.800 I don't buy any of this stuff from the Labour Party. 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.080 That are the Greens. They're terrible, aren't they awful? Aren't 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.240 they terrible? Because of course, mathematically the Labour Party basically 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:41.680 doesn't exist in the Federal Parliament without the Greens. Now, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:47.360 they won seven seats on their own outright, seventy of 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.440 their seats went to preferences, of which the Greens preferences 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.360 were the ones that got them over the line. Seventy 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.840 of the seventy seven members of the Federal Parliament that 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.440 are there on the behalf of the Labour Party are 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.840 also there thanks to the preference of the Greens. So 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.600 I will truly believe that the Prime Minister has had 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.800 enough of the behavior of the Greens when he decides 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.360 to put them last. But of course he won't do 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.880 that because there's this cozy little arrangement where the Greens 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:19.760 get to protest yet support the actions of the Labor Party. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.280 The Labor Party gets to have a crack at the 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:26.520 Greens but takes their preferences in the Senate. They can't 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.440 get anything done without the Greens, and potentially, in a 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.840 minority parliament, they would not be able to even form 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.719 a government without them. Now, we've had conversations over the 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:41.440 years about which political parties are deserving of going last. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.480 I do not see how anyone could suggest that the 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:49.079 Greens should be anything but last for every major political party. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.640 Now there are people inside the NP in certain states 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.280 who think that it's clever to send preferences to the 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.800 Greens because it's a way of denying the Labor Party seats. 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.439 This is not acceptable. The Greens are the worst possible 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.600 choice for Australian politics, no matter what they peddle and 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.400 what polls tell you that they are the voice of 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.480 younger generations for obvious reasons. If you are serious about 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.760 the threat that the Greens pose, then you should be 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.520 willing to put some of your own skin in the game. Yes, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.839 maybe even seventy seats worth of it. But at some 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.599 point the Labor Party should preference the Liberal Party, and 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.240 the Liberal Party should preference the Labor Party before we 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.840 get to options like the Greens. And again another example 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.360 about the double speak that comes out of the O 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.680 SOO sanctumonious Greens. Now they constantly tell us that we 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.920 need more housing, and we do need more housing in 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:46.040 the country. Best money in building hundreds of thousands of 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.320 good quality homes to be sold and rented at prices 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:50.640 people can actually afford. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.360 In a wealthy country like ours. Everyone should have a 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:55.840 roof over their head and. 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.720 One of the key things that governments could do to 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.200 bring down rantsom make sure housing is. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.840 More affordable is built more public housing. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.199 Everyone has the right to. 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.800 Have a roof over their head, especially a wealthy country 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.679 like Australia, and so until we build more, the problems 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.360 is going to get worse than work worse. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.800 But guess which MP from which political party is opposing 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.240 the building of more units in their electorate. Well, that's right, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.800 the Greens. The Greens who say we need more housing. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.840 But if it's in their backyard and they don't like 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.160 how big it's going to be, then it's time to 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.320 come out and oppose it. Talk about having your cake 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.640 and eating it too, but it'll obviously have to be 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:43.640 vegan and gluten free. Now, the latest economic numbers you've 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:47.120 heard by now that if Australia was getting its pulse checked, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.080 they'd have to double check that we had one. Why 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.160 because according to the latest GDP, we are a heartbeat 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.920 away from a recession. Have a look at economic growth 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.760 since this government came to power, almost one percent, then 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.839 suddenly became point one percent, point eight, became point six 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:10.520 point four, point two point three and now just zero 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:17.240 point one percent. Technically growing. But it's like your car 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.760 idling at the lights, and if it's a little bit 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.200 out of tune, you take your foot off the break 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.960 and it starts to ever so slightly hinge forward. That 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:27.560 is the problem that we have at the moment. But 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.680 of course, the per capita recession, the one that you 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.480 and I are living, is one that has now gone 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:37.000 on for five quarters in a row. This has gone 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:42.120 on for the best part of a year and a bit. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.480 Now we are in a serious situation at the moment 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:50.640 where the Australian people go backwards. The government idols idols. 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.840 But of course the Treasurer says, this is my plan. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.360 It's all working, trust me. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.600 These national accounts, so we got the budget settings right. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.600 They justify our approach to fighting inflation and repairing the 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.840 budget without smashing the economy when growth was already sought 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:15.520 and the people were already under pressure. They completely vindicate 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.680 our strategy. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.960 Ridiculous. This guy will think that every single statistic just 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.479 backs in his worldview. The country is not even sputtering 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.480 zero point one percent. Every three months, the numbers go 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.839 down and down and down and down and down. Now, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.600 of course, in the next three months if we start 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.120 to go backwards, you have to wait another three months 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.319 after that, and it would seem unlikely that we get 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.720 into some technical recession. But if the majority of Australians 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.320 in there are in a per capita i e. Normal people, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.400 a per capita recession, you are already living one. But 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.240 of course you can't possibly admit that in the world 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.200 of Canberra, because that would say you'd have to accept 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.640 some level of responsibility. Meantime, the Reserve Bank, now remember 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.520 this government has already tried to rig the process. How 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.199 many times they meet, they will eventually try to rid 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.280 the process about who is going to be deciding whether 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.040 interest rates go up or not. But in the meantime, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.559 Michelle Bullock, who is of course the Preserved Bank governor, 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.200 she has said today that she will not hesitate to 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.320 raise interest rates if she believes that inflation, which is 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.880 currently nowhere near between two and three percent instead is 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.960 between three and four percent, that if that continues, despite 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.240 the fact that the joint is going backwards in terms 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.200 of per capita and only just rolling forward on the 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.719 official statistics, she would still increase interest rates. I look 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.320 forward to talking about this with Stephen Conroy and with 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:43.959 Rob and Bishop in a couple of moments time in 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.560 a ding dong here on this Wednesday night. Megan Kelly 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.319 will join us as well from the United States. Now, 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.440 as we know, the Prime Minister and Peter Dutton do 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.600 not see iday on how we should keep the lights on. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.200 The Prime Minister believes that we should spend tens of 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.000 billions of dollars the cso of course, saying it's anywhere 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:05.160 between halfer and one trillion dollars to actually move from 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.000 the grid that used to work to the one that 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:11.360 fingers crossed might work. For his position, Peter Dutton says, yes, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.400 while it's expensive, Yes, while it takes a little time 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.440 to get going, nuclear energy is the best way to go. 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.840 And put simply, the best idea is to use existing 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.920 coal fire power sites which are currently being planned to 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.320 be turned not into energy generators but in terms of 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.360 energy storage things like batteries, But that would not be 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.960 the case. Instead that power plants would go there. And 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.840 Albow well, he believes he's under a winner here. He thinks, 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.080 despite the fact that now six out of ten Australians 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.120 support it as a way of getting our power and 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.120 getting emissions down, that he's able to scare everyone that 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.920 you're living in the Simpsons and your kids will turn green. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.440 Not voting, but literally. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.240 Nuclear power is the most expensive form of new energy 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.400 that certainly doesn't help with climate chain. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.080 Heart of the scare, he decided to take this to 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.960 the Internet today and believe it or not, had actually 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.120 got a misinformation strike among other things from tit it Today. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.960 Prime Minister put this tweet up saying what do these 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.560 beautiful parts of Australia have in common? They're at risk 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.160 of a nuclear reactor in their backyard under Peter Dutton. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.760 Australians have waited six hundred and seventy three days for 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.200 details on Peter Dutton's nuclear plan. He still won't say 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.400 which cities, which towns, and he decided to put a 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.680 whole bunch of photos out there to help scare people 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:33.920 about what may or may not be happening. Places like Newcastle, Anglesea, 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:40.920 the w Sundays, the Barossa Valley, Bridey Island, Gippsland and 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.960 the Hunter Valley gets a second little shout out from 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.960 the Prime Minister trying to scare people, but well under 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:47.360 the Daily Mail because they had a look at some 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.960 of the people who replied to the Prime Minister's tweet 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:55.360 before it got a misinformation strike from x Here's some 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.320 of the responses as people have turned around and said, 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.240 you realize that renewables are covering every blade of grass 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.840 in some parts of Australia. Someone says, funny, I prefer 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.440 a nuclear reactor over thousands of kilometers of your government 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:17.920 green lighting areas to be turned into solar Another one. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.040 What do these beautiful places have in common? They're all 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.960 at risk of being cleared for solar panels and wind, 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.520 but filling up thousands of acres of solar panel farms 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.000 is perfectly okay. What a hypocrite you are, Prime Minister 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.480 car Waite finnuculear. Have you've seen the scars of wind 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.480 and solar? Another one? What's so beautiful about these things? 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:37.560 And what do they have in common? There are at 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.360 risk of solar panels and wind turbines in their backyard. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:45.640 Under Alba good point, you see lefties belief that they 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.840 can have it both ways, that they can save the 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:55.040 planet in their parts of Australia by ruining the literal 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.000 land in regional Australia, and because regional Australia generally speaking, 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:04.160 doesn't vote for the current government. Well, bugger you again. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.440 This is one of the central problems that many people 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.480 have had in a long time about the transition to 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.840 renewable energy is that when we start to see places 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.600 in the cities having to bear the same scars that 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:21.120 they do in regional areas, then surprise, surprise, the same 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.359 issues where locals don't want it in their parts of 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.560 Australia would be echoed by those who push it in 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.520 city areas. Where is the suggestion that the local dog 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.920 park in Marrickville is about to be covered in solar panels. 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.720 Where is the suggestion that in the teal seats there's 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.280 any plans for a wind farm anytime soon? Oh know 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.639 that all goes to the bush because firstly who lives 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.520 there and secondly they don't vote for you. So the 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.960 Prime Minister and the collective brain that says renewables only 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:57.040 effectively says bug you. Now I have to ask the question, 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:58.800 how have we come to this as a great, modern, 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.280 wonderful country. We've got to the state where discipline in 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:06.000 our schools is now so widely out of control that 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.439 they are teachers among us who are now starting to 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.959 think about the introduction of cameras to the classroom. Let 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:16.280 me explain. Of course, schools, according to the OECD, have 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:21.560 become major battlegrounds. I say battlegrounds because disruptive schools puts 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:26.439 us in. Some of the most disruptive schools in the 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.560 world according to the OECD. The qoreyam Mar says there's 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.320 a six million dollar sturge in assaults on teachers and 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.800 school staff. They go on to say that in the 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.240 twenty two to twenty three financial year, there were six 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:43.720 hundred and ninety eight classroom assaults that were lodged in 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:49.080 the state of Queensland and there were assault claims which 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.359 resulted in the best part of about five million dollars 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.000 being paid. The MP shadow Education spokesperson said the data 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:59.080 showed the state government is losing control of classrooms. So now, 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:04.120 what's a suggestion from some teachers in Queensland Body cameras 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:09.480 the same stuff the police wear, so they're able to 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.320 show who the aggressor is. And he said she said, 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.560 or he said he said, or she said she said, 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.840 or have they said he said, or have they said that? 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:24.080 You get my point? Altercation when a student assaults a teacher. Now, 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.040 we have spent billions of dollars trying to turn around 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.720 what have been very bad education results in our schools 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.720 for longer than a decade. The one thing that has 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.439 continued to get worse no matter how much money is 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:43.600 spent is classroom discipline. Yet where is the plan to 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.320 deal with it? Where is the plan to give teachers 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:52.240 greater rights to intervene in poorly behaved students instead in 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:57.440 places like Queensland, now indigenous students and neurodiverse students will 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.199 be able to appeal their suspensions if they are involved 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.520 in things like assaults on teachers. How have we got 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.440 to a place where teachers would like the same equipment 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.040 that the police use. We're having a look at Fortitude 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:16.199 Valley every Friday and Saturday night meantime. As you know, 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.119 the ABC is morally better than everyone else in the 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.760 Australian media. Just pick any one of their number of 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.920 shows who try to poke at the media that they 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.680 don't work for as of course, being either intellectually or 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:32.879 definitely morally inferior to the great ABC. Well, today we 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.840 got an incredible piece of information about just how much 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.720 problems there are at the ABC and not from twenty 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.040 years ago, not from ten years ago, but in fact, 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:45.440 in the past two years. How's this? The ABC is 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.280 failing to meet its own standards when it comes to 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:51.080 bullying and sexual harassment. The managing director has said that 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.080 an internal survey found thirteen percent of respondents to the 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.879 National Broadcaster's News division, so this is only the News 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:04.000 division said that they had experienced sexual harassment sexual harassment 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.399 of the ABC in the past two years. Now, again, 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.440 no organization in the country does not have this problem, 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.679 but the ABC takes great joy in pointing out the 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.600 moral failings of every other organization. What about and look 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.320 at their own backyard. And this is on top of 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.359 the ABC of course having to back pay to the 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.600 tune of what thirty million dollars. I think it was 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.160 because they underpaid their staff. But what sort of work 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:31.760 environment when this force is the public service. Now they 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.880 may think there's something magically different about broadcasting, but it's 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.560 the same rules as the tax office. Back to the survey, 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.280 one quarter of respondents said they had experienced bullying at 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:45.120 the ABC, with the most common types reported as intimidation, 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:49.159 but littling and humiliating comments. Now I'm not sure exactly 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:50.680 what's being said, and I don't know if it's a 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.719 whole series of snowflake behavior, but supposedly they're better than 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:57.440 everyone else. The seven hundred and forty five employees, jeez, 0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:59.960 that's a few who took the survey, So that's not everyone. 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:04.920 In the news division, ninety seven people reported as having 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:10.520 experienced sexual harassment. Sixty five percent of the respondents were women. Now, 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:17.000 there couldn't be a more friendly, friendly workplace to the 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:21.600 current attitudes than supposedly public broadcasting. But twenty nine percent 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:25.680 of the staff in the division turned around and completed 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.440 the survey. So if that's the numbers of the people 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:31.359 that were actually willing to fill out the forms, imagine 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:33.280 what the reality might be, including of the people who 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.800 are actually the victims. For his part, the boss of 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.280 the ABC turns around and says, if anyone doesn't understand 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.320 or accept this, the ABC is not the working environment 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.400 for them. There will be consequences for those staff who 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.919 are found to have behave in an unacceptable manner, no 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.520 matter what their role is of the ABC. Geez, you, 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.320 I reckon that'll be the case, because if you are 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.960 a blessed member of the ABC, they'll pay your private 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:59.560 legal fees when you say tofamatory things on the internet, 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.120 when you clearly breach editorial standards, when you're free wheeling 0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:08.200 at writers festivals, etc. They'll find ways to say, Look, 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:10.600 we've canceled you, But she's amazing, isn't she wonderful? Isn't 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:14.240 she incredible? Clearly the organization is one that, like many 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.560 media organizations in the past, not pretending that this is 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:21.480
