WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 1 July 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:06.920 From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. What 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:08.760 a show we have for you tonight. Thank you to 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.680 everyone who turned up in McGregor in Brisbane yesterday and 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:13.880 support us on outsound all the time again. Ow thanks 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.360 to the wonderful people of Party Norman. All right now tonight, 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:21.319 obviously we will talk about the democratic delusion that Joe 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.240 Biden has still got a shot. You know the evidence, 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:25.680 you know the rest. But there's a whole lot of 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.520 new reporting which is happening tonight at the start of 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:30.840 Monday in the United States. I'll get to that in 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.280 a second. The Senate as we speak is voting about 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.040 what's going to happen with a live sheep trade. This 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.519 is massive in Western Australia and we'll get to this 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.600 in a moment or twesday time. And plenty to say 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.720 about July one, and supposedly the day where costin living 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.839 ends because the government is here to help a reality 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.240 check for all of them in a moment. But first, 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.160 it's not really breaking news that it's cold during winter, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.520 but the expectation is is that these will be the 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.360 coldest days of winter thus far and may end up 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.640 being the coldest of the entire season. The low's tonight 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.560 expected in the three kind of cold places. Forgive me, Taszy, 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.319 I didn't double check with you, but it's seven degrees. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.200 But the feels like is going to be much lower 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.000 than all of these numbers. Seven in Sydney, four in 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.360 Melbourne and minus one for everyone in Canberra. Now again, 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.000 Skytie's weather is always across this stuff. There is a 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.480 reason I am mentioning this, by the way, apart from 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.760 just telling you what the weather is like. I'm not 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.679 going to do that thing where you can just look 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.399 out the window or you just feel it yourself. There's 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.319 a reason I'm mentioning this again, Scotty's weather across all 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.679 of it and putting out the detail about why it 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.920 is so cold at this moment in this winter. 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.800 See the forecast for frost into Tuesday morning even more 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.720 widespread than Monday morning in Victoria and South Australia, and 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.120 Wednesday looks the coldest of them all, where the widespread 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.400 frost from Central Australia down to the southeast and even 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:56.840 for the southwest Land. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.080 Division of Wa as well. 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.960 There'll be some frost in some spots. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.840 The reason I mention this is because sadly, there are 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.960 people who die in house fires each and every winter. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.360 In fact, on average, when you have a look at 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.680 the number of people who die as a result of 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:17.520 house fires in winter in Australia every year, it is 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.080 very close or depending on your data, even higher than 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.799 the number that we lose during bush fires. Now, of course, 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.880 the reason all of this takes place, and this is 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.519 an example of a most recent house fire where apparently 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.960 the office chairs were too close to an electric heater. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.040 It caught fire, and that's how you got the blaze 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:39.799 that they did. I know that we all want to 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.560 stay warm from the most obvious of reasons, but please, please, please, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.800 please please make sure that the heater that is in 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.560 your house right now is nowhere near your blankets or 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:54.920 your curtains, that the washing is not drying in front 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.639 of it, because all of those things are the things 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.680 that end up leading to house fires. Yes, people falling 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.959 asleep with cigarettes all the rest of it, but and 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.840 the heat pad stuff. I know it's cold, take care 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.760 of yourself because obviously all of those people who last 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.640 winter and the winter before and the winter before and 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.120 the winter before and the winter before who ended up 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.600 dying or being very seriously injured in house fires. Obviously 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.360 didn't expect that to be the case. So keep your 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.440 wits about you, particularly if you've got one of those 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.799 really old school kind of bar heaters, which I know 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.440 lots of people have. Just make sure it is nothing 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.160 is near at anywhere near the room, because I want 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.239 you here each and every night, and I wanted to 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.760 be the one reminding everyone to be vigilant because it's 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.600 not just about staying warm, it is about staying alive. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.960 Now also, before I get to politics, and there's a 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.080 lot of it today, but there's some other stuff that's 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.160 just been running around in my head. Remember when Optus 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.680 had its outage and people freaked out, rightly so, because 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.600 everything from your mobile phone to maybe the FPOs machine 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.120 that we're using the home internet was cut off. And 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.200 in modern world, we don't react well to not being 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.440 able to communicate with the rest of the world. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.480 It is that horrible sense of wow, we've listed. Really 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:09.480 it's a really bad day. 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:10.800 At the end of the day, I saw the past 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.480 of my service. I'm not going to just come on 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:12.960 top of it. 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.000 It never reached to us. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.920 They never send any message saying what's the reason. 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.480 It's just not good enough? And because the public was 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.440 outraged and the media followed the outrage, the government wanted 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.000 to get on the right side of the public, so 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.280 they shared the outrage that in the modern era, this 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.440 is the way we communicate, we do business, we talk 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.320 to each other, and to go without it is never acceptable. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.040 Australians expect that there will be follow up, that there will. 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:42.839 Be lessons learned. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.680 It's important to understand how this can be certainly avoided 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:47.200 in future. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:48.800 They're going to have to come to the table and 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.160 do something big, in my view, to keep their customer base. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.560 Optors needs to front up in a public hearing, take 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.360 questions and give an explanation. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.080 Which we all know is a lot of performance here, 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.520 but still the expectation is of an uninterrupted service. Now, 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.919 things will always go wrong and that's the case, but 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.320 the system really should be built that when you have 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:17.000 no other offering that automatically there are serious discounts. Maybe 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.080 this month's bill is free instead. What Optics turned around 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.760 and did remember was, among other things, offer huge amounts 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.000 of free data to people who wouldn't normally use that 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.480 amount of data anyway. It was a way of managing 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.800 the headlines. It didn't work. They ultimately had to get 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:35.320 rid of the CEO. But there is something perhaps even 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.240 more important than our ability to access the internet, and 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.000 that is your ability to access your own money. For 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:46.440 the most obvious of reasons, people these days they don't 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.680 carry much cash anymore, so most people will pay their 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:54.120 bills online. Most people will send money between themselves that way. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:59.240 Most people will pay for their pizza that particular way. Well, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.839 today Australia Bank was the latest of the major banks 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.119 to have a major outage, huge problems with the app 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.000 where it put simply was down. This meant that anyone 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.440 who was a customer or of course businesses all the 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.240 rest of it huge interruptions. Now, can you always pay 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.240 a bill another day, sure, but there are lots of 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.640 things that are always do on that day, a huge 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.839 amount of money that needed to move around, people settling 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.480 on ourss. There are consequences when this stuff doesn't work. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.640 And again they got a little bit of a mention 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.480 today but of course, well it's only if your customers 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.360 have nabbed that was a story for everyone else. It 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.760 doesn't matter. The messages were pretty clear on their website 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.760 pretty clear about their app as well. But the response 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.120 from the government when the system broke and people couldn't 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.920 get access to their money or to pay for things, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.719 or to move things around, or to do basically all 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.200 of the things that were a problem with optis, we 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:57.039 heard nothing today Tumbleweeds. This was not considered as big 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.360 or as significant. But of course if you needed your money, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.240 if you needed to it, if you needed to pay it, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.359 if you needed to transfer it, you needed this. But 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:09.840 it's not just the National Australia Bank. We've also seen 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.760 this when it comes to the A and Z Bank, 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.160 where they too had problems with a major outage that 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.120 was striking A and Z online banking and their app. 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.880 The same with the Commonwealth Bank, where the Commonwealth Bank 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.080 is trying to win back its furious customers why because 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.760 they had no access to their money. All of this 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.680 staff has been happening in the past few months. It 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.000 will happen again in the next few months. The same 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:38.000 with Westpac where Westpac banking services resume after customers were 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:43.840 hit with an outage. Now again, big complicated systems break, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.680 that's the reality. But what's the penalty. What's the penalty? 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:54.400 What is the pressure on these companies to offer something 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:59.120 back to their customers. How do they make sure, let's 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.840 say the tap and go fees that you'd have to 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.840 pay for the rest of the month, you wouldn't have 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.960 to pay. Why use there not some sort of financial 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.160 disincentive for major organizations not to be spending all their 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.200 energy and all their time making sure that our interface 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.360 with our own money flows like the water from the tap, 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.680 the electricity to your house, or the internet to your 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.600 home or business. I found it quite strange today. Now again, 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.600 the government doesn't run these banks, thankfully they don't own 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:37.040 a bank anymore. But the consequences of people not being 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.080 able to have access to their money, well, it's obvious 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.199 you may well have felt this frustration at certain points 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.920 in time. My question is, when it's a telco, it's 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.240 the lead story and the CEO ends up losing their job. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.400 When it's a bank, it's just an adage and you 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:58.640 have to suck it up. Why the double standard? Now, 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:01.800 before again, I get to the politics, and there's all 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.120 the obvious stuff. Yeah, the Senator and Biden and all 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.080 that stuff. I'll get to it right plenty some but 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.040 you will have heard by now there was a ridiculous 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.800 act of vandalism that was supposedly in the name of 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:20.439 compassion for the Palestinians of Gaza. But why do we 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:26.120 leave our memorials unguarded either with cameras and I'm not 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.839 suggesting twenty four to seven security guards. But of course 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.920 in Canberra there is that entire stretch of different war 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:39.040 memorials that represent different conflicts, different people that goes from 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.680 Lake Burley Griffin all the way up to the War Memorial. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.840 Why have we not seen footage of the people who 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:52.280 were doing this? Why is the consequence of this something 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.040 where we're all going to feel an outrage, But at 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.240 this moment in time, there is no one who has 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.959 been charged. Why don't we have greater ability to track 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.120 down these people? We have a world of motion senses 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.800 that we all put around our houses. Why not when 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.840 the sun goes down around significant monuments. And just in 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.920 the same way that there are local councils that have 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.079 got all sorts of cameras everywhere to pick up illegal dumping, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.680 you can hide these cameras and lots of places where 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.640 nobody knows exactly where they are. Now. Of course, like you, 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.160 I was disgusted to see, surprise, surprise, the Greens not 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.120 even having the brain, the heart, or the balls to 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:36.360 be able to pass emotion in condemnation of this behavior. 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.080 And again, if we can roll that footage again, some 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.679 of the symbols there, yes, are about what is happening 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.560 in Gaza, but some of it is just about outright anarchy. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.359 Some of it is, of course, part of this historical 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:56.679 view that everything post seventeen seventy is a problem, any 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.840 and anyone who does anything other than leave that view 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.360 of history somehow as a problem. Those are the anarchist symbols, 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.760 by the way, But there are two other examples that 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.000 I would like to share with you that I think 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:14.480 are just as outrageous, just as outrageous. And while on 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:15.960 this show we often go out of our way to 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:21.480 celebrate good, amazing, normal people, there are really some sickos 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.720 out there, not just the ones that want to do 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.120 that political sort of garbage, but the people who just 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:31.040 do nasty things, truly nasty things. I'm not talking about 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.680 people who commit crimes of a soultal murder. I'm talking 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:38.839 about a nastiness in the crimes that they do. Molly 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:46.679 Ticehurst as you know, was murdered. Her partner is currently 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.640 going through the court process, and the people of Forbes, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.520 which is not too far from Parks, have taken this 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.440 crime into their heart because she was the most normal 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.880 example of somebody who lives in that beuatiful part of 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.960 regional New South Wales. Now this story is a couple 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.599 of days old, but I wanted to bring you to 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:11.360 the heart of this that Molly Tyshurst's family, according to 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:16.720 The Guardian, have been robbed of some of the possessions 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:22.760 of their now lost daughter. Now, among the items that 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.559 were taken from the Forbes property where Molly twenty eight 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.880 lived with her six year old was a gold nugget 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.120 pendant that was given to her by her father, Tony, 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.439 who we have seen speaking on behalf of the family 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.800 about the heartbreak and rage that any family would feel 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.720 that have gone through this. He picked the piece because 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.120 it looked like a woman that was holding a child. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:49.600 This is that very gold nugget pendant. It was stolen 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:58.400 from a murder victim's house after she was murdered. Now, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.319 I say this on teav right now because if there 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:06.040 is anyone around Forbes or Parks or anywhere around that 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.400 region of New South Wales. Who has seen that pendant, 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.080 been offered it to buy it, somebody's tried to porn it. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.840 Clearly somebody stole this because they thought that there was 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.880 a financial value to it, but the emotional value is 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.960 of course completely irreplaceable. Can we show it again because 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.280 I want everyone to see it, and everyone who's watching 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.439 us right now on Foxdelle free to wear flash Orskynews 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.040 dot com dot you listening to us right now online 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:40.280 or watching this video tomorrow. If you see anything like this, 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.440 or you're offered anything like this, or you see it 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:47.720 in a shop or a garage, anything, please please contact 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.360 the police and they will obviously connect it back with 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:55.679 the family. And then this is the one that really 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.360 got me today. I want to show you a beautiful 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:05.199 little girl, this beautiful little lady, Brittany. She was three 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.160 and she's no longer here. She accidentally swallowed a toxic 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.320 battery and she died. Her family as a way of 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:22.240 honoring her at her grave site, put her tiara, a 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:26.800 little tiara that was with them when they were in hospital. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.640 And I think you know what I'm about to show you. 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:35.800 Some bastard has stolen it some bastard has gone to 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:42.760 her grave which is the Mudurrabar Cemetery, pride and open 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:50.800 and taken a tiara from a girl's grave. Now again 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.040 I mention all of this because if you see these 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.760 things being offered, if you see them online, please contact 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.320 the police. One hundred triple three triple zero is the 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:05.280 crime stoppers number local police. These families need these things 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.720 because when you don't have your little girl, be at 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.880 a three year old or even one in their late twenties, 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.720 the things that they touched, the things that they loved, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:24.160 the things that represent them are all you have left. Now, 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.320 I hope that there is someone somewhere who will see 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:35.080 these things, report and return again. Ninety nine point nine 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:40.040 nine percent of people are decent, but there are low 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:44.120 lives amongst us, and there's a little low life network 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.640 the things. They can make a few dollars out of this, 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.680 for whatever reason that they want those few dollars, but 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.560 for goodness sake, find this stuff and give it back. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.640 Remember the central promise which has been the single greatest 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.120 broken promise of the Albanezy labor government was that they 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.040 were promising in May of twenty twenty two and many 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.920 months before that the Labor government would lower the cost 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.520 of living. You know the reality that since that promise 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.800 was made and since this government came to being, there 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:17.200 has been twelve interest rate rises and inflation is now 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:21.960 heading back up after coming slightly down. But still everything 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.520 has cost more every day of every week of every 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.360 month of every year since this government came to power. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:36.080 But this Prime minister spent an entire year and half 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:41.640 a billion dollars campaigning for a question that went from 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.440 sixty forty yes to sixty forty no. And he did 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.040 not care no matter what he says. Remember, at the 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.520 height of this time in the budget, not this one, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.160 but the one before, at the time when he was 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.880 spending this money and out and about on this campaign, 0:16:55.200 --> 0:17:00.080 his government took fifteen hundred dollars of ten million work, 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.680 the same workers that of course, now they're trying to 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.440 turn around and pretend that they're helping out with a 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.600 whole series of things which kicking today. Well, of course, 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.600 the Prime minister's first kick in the backside was the 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.240 Australian public saying, no, colossal waste the money, We don't 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.600 agree with your IDEA second kick in the backside was 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.920 that Australians were focused that this government, who had promised action, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.480 had failed. Remember the polling that was around at the 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.720 very end of last year that about eighty percent of 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.480 Australian said the government has not done enough at all 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.800 to deal with cost of living. So of course we 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:37.040 had the nonsense of the rejigging of tax cuts, which 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.760 essentially means that the government has made decisions that will 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.240 cost them apparently billions of dollars, and those billions of 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.000 dollars come back to workers. But of course it's not 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:54.159 billions of dollars if you are the worker. I have 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.720 for months said that when the problems are as big 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.960 as they currently are, this is all too little, too late. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.520 The numbers I have shown you almost every couple of 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.720 days for a really long period of time now. But 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.639 it still remains the case that if you earn forty 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.000 five thousand dollars, this government wants a pat on the 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.400 back for letting you keep fifteen dollars of your own 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:19.240 money twenty two thirty two forty one dollars of your 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:24.080 own money. And I have long predicted that this money 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.760 doesn't touch the sides, and this money doesn't actually change 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:31.919 anyone's life. Yet the government gets to say we're helping. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.639 What of course they are doing is throwing a thimble 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.240 of water out of fire, but they want credit for 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.480 the thimble of water because we could have chosen not 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:45.800 to throw the thimble of water. Well, I've got plenty 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.040 of proof today that my instincts were correct about how 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:55.720 people will actually consider, consume, or not even notice these 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.719 tax cuts because they are too little and they are 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:03.880 too late. Channel nine newspapers hardly unfriendly territory for the government. Well, 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:05.960 they decided to interview a bunch of people about what 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.040 they are going to be doing with the two little 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.520 too late tax cuts, and guess what their own words 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.960 will prove it is too little too late. First a 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.159 lady called Ever. She says, it's not going to be 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.840 something that substantially changes or balances out the increasing costs 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.800 that everyone is facing. We've got a mortgage, so obviously 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.400 with the interest rate rises, which remember, there's most likely 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.679 to be another one because this government has failed to 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.120 deal with inflation properly and it's not going to change 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.800 much of their world. Then there's the lady who's a nurse. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:41.600 These are supposedly the absolute sweet spot. Politically, women like Belinda. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.600 It might cover my compulsory parking fee at the hospital, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.400 but that's about it. I'm choosing between do we go 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.320 out with our friends or do we pay that bill? 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.000 Do I choose between taking my daughter to the movies 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.720 or paying that big dental bill. Another example, two young 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.600 women they apparently live I think in the same house. 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.359 Asked this is the Eloise who's the one on the left. 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.680 Asked if she thought that the money in people's pockets 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.720 could go to add to inflation. Grant says, I guess 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.639 you can only assume so, but I think with everything 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.760 going on, it's very helpful. Okay, nice comment. Well, her 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.640 mate Charlie is on the right. She says she wanted 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:22.720 to save the bulk of her tax cut, adding if 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:26.040 I was planning on spending it, it would just go 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.280 to essentials due to inflation. She also said that rent 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:35.439 was a major expense. So they're the happy ones. By 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.639 their own admission, too little, too late. The idea that 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.200 you would be able to save fifteen dollars a week 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.520 on forty five thousand, when, of course all of those 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.400 things keep going up, it all gets gobbled up. It's 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.359 already been gobbled up from when it was announced back 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.040 in January. How do we know, because the inflation figures 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.840 tell us in the month of May, this is the 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:00.640 margin by which everything went up compared to the before 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:11.200 Tobacco thirteen percent, petrol nine percent, insurance and financial services, rents, alcohol, electricity, health, housing, education, 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.200 new housing that people would move into, transport, and fruit 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:19.320 and vegetables. So even if you were somebody who was 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:23.120 a supposed beneficiary of the tax cuts, it's all eaten up. 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:29.800 But there's one lady who I want you to see 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:36.960 because she is the embodiment of my entire obsession with 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.600 why this is too little, why this is too late, 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:45.240 why they don't deserve credit, and why they are liars. 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:50.359 This lady was on a current affair tonight. She's holding 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:56.000 a kid, and her and her partner are working collectively 0:21:56.040 --> 0:22:01.080 the best part of ninety hours a week. I want 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.560 you to see this for a full sixty seconds, because 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:07.640 this is why Prime Minister, it is too little, too late. 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:12.960 This is why my press gallery friends, you are in 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:17.280 the wrong spot and you do not understand how the 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.080 politics does not connect to the real world. Have a 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.119 look how much. 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.600 Of a difference will today's tax cuts make for you, guys? 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.359 Pretty much nothing. We do everything we can to cut 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:30.880 where we can, just to survive. 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.920 You're saying you are living week to week. 0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:39.080 That's correct. Yeah, week to week's heartbreaking. 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:41.760 It really is. 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:49.040 It's hard, you know, just trying to survive with my 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:53.360 little family. I'm thankful, but I do have my parents 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:56.320 because if I didn't have them and they didn't have 0:22:56.400 --> 0:23:01.800 their house, I would essentially be homeless. You know, my 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:07.080 partner works like forty five fifty hours a week. I'm 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:11.080 forty hours a week and it's still essentially not enough. 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:14.159 Every single day I wake up and I go, what 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:16.560 she is going to happen this week? What's going to 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.159 increase today? 0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:21.960 Can governments solve all of Emma's problems? 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:22.439 No? 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.440 Are her parents doing everything they can to make sure 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:28.400 that she and her partner and their little Barbara being 0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:32.320 taken care of. Yes, that's real life. But what really 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.240 annoys me is that the government pretends that they are 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:43.399
