WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 3 July 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:07.200 From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live well, yes, 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.920 Caleb if you want to, but it does have my 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.360 name on it, So if you want to somehow refill 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.040 it and bring it back, good luck. But otherwise the 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.239 joy your week off, Thank you made all right. There 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.560 is some breaking news that is happening right now and 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.000 it is to do with the entire Donald Trump agenda 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.920 making its way through the United States Congress their version 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:31.880 of parliament. Now as we speak, we have this bloke speaking, 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.479 one more speaker being the House of Representatives speaker, and 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:37.479 then there will be a vote. Now, as you know, 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.400 Republicans in order to get the big beautiful bill through 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.760 the parliament, they can only lose three of their own 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.120 because the numbers are so tight. But the bit that 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.080 is the breaking news is this guy. Now, this guy's 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.919 name is Hakeem Jeffries. My apologies. He's a Congressman from 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.480 New York. He replaced Nancy Pelosi as the leader of 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.360 the Democrats. He has been speaking already for more than 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.080 two hours now. He is literally listing every problem that 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.640 he has with the bill. He's reading as many emails 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.520 as possible, and as you can see, he's got a 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.759 lot more notes, So I might make a bold prediction here, 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.520 and I hope I'm wrong. I think he might be 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.840 trying to go for the record. Now I check this 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.320 just before we came on air. The record for the 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.120 longest speech in the history of the lower house of 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:26.560 the American Parliament, the Congress is five hours. So if 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.679 he's been going for two, does he go into the 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.080 no man's land of three or four? Or is he 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.560 going to try to run a marathon? Because right now 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.800 it is seven am in Washington, which means at seven 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:42.040 am in New York, and that means the vast bulk 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.880 of people watching breakfast television every time they are crossing 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.320 back every fifteen minutes like a breakfast TV show would 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.520 it is showing this speech. So this bloke is essentially 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.600 starting the mid term campaign, which is November next year. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.760 He's the one who wants to be the next speaker. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.880 He's the Democrat leader who who wants to remember, if 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.040 the Democrats take over, they can do everything from slow 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.920 the whole process down to beginning an impeachment process that 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.920 of course they've done twice before, and they'd find a 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.400 way easily to do it three, four or five times 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:18.760 before the twenty twenty eight American election. So the story 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.120 right now is a bloke who is seemingly trying to 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.160 take every moment he can to speak for as long 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.800 as possible to get as many eyeballs on his opposition 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.440 and his party's opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill. They've 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.120 been debating it all the way through the night. In fact, 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.760 Congress has essentially been voting either in the lower upper 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.160 House for days and days and days. We are now 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.720 down to this final moment. Now, I'm going to take 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.040 fifteen seconds of what he's speaking about now so he 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.040 can get a little bit of a tempo. And anyone 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.720 who's ever written an essay and is trying to pad 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.359 it out, you can tell when somebody's trying to pad 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.880 it out. You tell me, is this blow coming to 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.240 the end of his speech or do you think he's 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.160 going to go for the five hour record, which was 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.760 set I think in the early nineteen hundreds. Again, fifteen seconds. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.720 We won't wallow in all of this, won't keep kicking 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.920 back all night with the Big Beautiful Bill, which probably 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.640 will pass and only just but this bloke is going 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.799 to go for history. Currently two and a bit hours 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.440 on his way to five. I think. 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:17.960 A budget surplus from President Bill Clinton and immediately turned 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:24.360 around and took that budget surplus and turned it into 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.799 a deficit. Okay, that's explode it. 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.800 So you can see he is, in my view, full 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.000 padding mode. If he makes it into our three, well, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.360 here you go, standing ovations. Go back to this. Let's 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.120 see what he's doing. Is he finishing up? I don't 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:38.360 think so. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.960 Let's to speak of Republicans are not the party of 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:46.760 fiscal responsibility. You're the party of fiscal irresponsibility, over and 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:52.240 over and over again. And now with this bill, you've 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.760 taken it to a whole other level. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.800 All right, that's enough, As I say, we will not 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.000 wallow in American politics and the byzantine world of their parliament. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.360 But there you go a bit of history, perhaps in 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.600 the making, where by the time we're off the air, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.920 he will be into his third hour, and the history 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.360 as he goes for a drigger water is five hours. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.400 Lots of other stuff we've got to do tonight on 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.520 Palma Rey Live, including Crana Winner or Loser of the Week. 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.840 Wait till you hear about a court decision which came 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.520 out of South Australia today. You would have thought that 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.600 a crime as bad as the one being discussed would 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.760 result in the maximum amount of time somebody being spent 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.000 in jail. Not the case. We'll get to that, and 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.440 if you like me low Formula one and big News, 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.120 that's happening there as well. We're across everything up, down 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.840 and in between. There is an awful lot to get 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.920 to tonight, including a lot of politics. But I also 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:42.599 just want to start out with this. If, like many people, 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.080 before you fall asleep, you will end up scrolling through 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.920 your phone and you're not feeling the best. You're often 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.279 start feeling worse because it feels like everyone else on 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.280 social media is having a fantastic time, a fantastic life. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.240 They're nailing everything, the photos are amazing, they're traveling here, 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.240 there and everywhere, because in many ways, social media is 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.719 a performance. It's a performance about how happy people are, 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.800 have connected, they are, how sad they are out whatever. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.680 But it is a performance. In the olden days we 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.279 used to say it was keeping up with the Joneses, 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.160 where you buy a new carcass the person down the 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.800 street bought a new car. Well, this is the digital version. 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.280 And if you feel that everyone in the world's having 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.080 a better life than you. Sometimes just sometimes your bad 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.400 day gets worse as a result of that perfect example. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.560 There is an Australian sporting legend who has been able 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:35.960 to build quite a successful comedia, a career in the media, 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.440 and it's Leesel Jones. Leesel Jones, of course, is a 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:44.560 world champion swimmer, multiple Olympic gold medalist, multiple Commonwealth Games medalist, 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.120 and she has had some real struggles when it comes 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.800 to mental health in the many years since she moved 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.920 from her swimming career to now where she is now. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.159 You can listen to her on the radio on Triple 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.440 M on the Gold Coast, her and Spider and the 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.280 rest of the team Great Breakfast Show. I hope you 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.400 listen to them. But she decided to post something that 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.760 was not a happy picture on social media in the 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:16.600 past couple of days. This was her having a photo 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.520 from the day before, a day that, by her own admission, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.080 was one of the worst that she'd had and could 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.880 well have been her last amongst us. Let me read 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:29.159 from what she posted, Stay until tomorrow. It's one of 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.360 my favorite sayings. Yesterday was one of my worst days, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.520 and I wanted to end it all. I think I've 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.159 been battling high functioning depression for a little while now, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.000 and I've just gone back to work with my sich. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.160 In the dark moments, I promised myself just to stay 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.440 until tomorrow. And it's amazing what the next day can bring. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.520 Because the day after the photo that I showed you before, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.560 she said, was spectacular. I had some free time after 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.559 work and I went for an hour long walk along 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.280 the beach, no goals, no plans, just enjoying the sunshine 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.720 and the view. Missing my walking buddy, but walking by 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.360 myself was enough. It changed my whole perspective on things. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.760 So if life has felt like it kicks you in 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:19.800 the lately, promise me you'll stay until tomorrow. This is 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:27.440 such a special and important message because somebody as successful, 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:34.600 as powerful, as strong as Lisal Jones is willing to 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.160 be that vulnerable about how tough some of her days 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:41.320 can be, and on the behalf of everyone who has 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.440 never met her but has admired her work both in 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.680 the media and in the pool. We offer her nothing 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.640 but strength and love. But it's an opportunity for me 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.400 to also to try to reach through the screen here 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.360 that if you are somebody who is feeling as she 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:01.239 has in the past few days, that message to stay 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:06.880 until tomorrow is vital. It's really important. And I know 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.840 that there is someone somewhere that is watching us who 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.520 is feeling lonelier than they have ever felt, that it's 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.480 feeling lower than they have ever felt, who is feeling 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.480 like they will not see the sun come up tomorrow. Well, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.920 I want to make a promise to that person, wherever 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:28.320 you are, that the sun does come up tomorrow, and 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.520 that as tough as it is to put one foot 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.480 in front of the other, even if it is just 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:37.120 a millimeter, then that itself is a massive achievement. I 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.640 promise that you are loved. I promise that the world 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.199 needs you. I promise that your family and friends are 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.960 better off for you being here. Now. We have days 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.400 like are you Okay Day, and we often talk about 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.760 the importance of reaching out to things like the Kid's 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.160 Help Line or lifeline, and obviously you should. But if 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.440 there is anyone who is feeling what Liesel Jones felt 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.440 this week tonight, may we collectively that being me on 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.320 the Telly and everyone else who is watching right now, 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.360 we're here to offer our hand to pull you through 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.960 to the next day, because the sunrise will be worth it, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.680 the walk will be worth it. If you're a person 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:25.120 who does get into these moments, and it may only 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.920 be just a small moment in your life, find a 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:34.240 song on the radio, find your favorite music from YouTube, 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.880 Go and watch some old comedy from way back when, 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.280 because these are the little choices that mean you make 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.840 it to tomorrow. If you make it to tomorrow, then 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.880 you've had a massive win. So again, if you are 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.680 anyone who is as lonely, strength and love. I promise, 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.080 even from a stranger, we love you and we need 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.040 you around. Thank you to Liesel Jones for the bravery 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.920 of which she showed today. That helpline is the lifeline 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.679 number of thirteen eleven fourteen. That's somebody who might be 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.640 able to help you to night, even if you've never 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.559 called that number before. Just ring it, have a chat. 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.439 If you're worried about someone in your life right now, 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.480 call them. Don't wait till tomorrow. If you know somebody 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.040 is just a little bit off, ring them right now. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.439 Who cares if they're asleep, Because together we pull each 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.400 other through. Together, we step forward. Because this is a 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.880 wonderful life to live, even when sometimes it feels as 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.079 tough as it can be. But strength and love, leth 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.400 and strength and love to any and everyone else who 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:45.360 needs that message, I love you, I honestly do. Let's 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.679 turn to the politics of today, though, what we do 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.720 best here, which is, of course, when we talk about 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.680 public servants. We often think about places like Canberra and 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.120 why wouldn't we heavily populated with them, government departments up 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.160 the yin Yang, here, there and everywhere. They of course 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.840 are our moral best the people, of course, recognized by 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.920 the Warman Royal well and truly, but the people in 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.200 and around other government sites sometimes can be a little 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.760 bit frustrating. Well. As I told you on Sunday, Australia 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.600 has now got one million public servants. Now we're not 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.120 talking about a million people in the defense force, a 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.280 million people who are at the front end of things. 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.600 We're talking about a million people who are basically involved 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.319 in the pen pushing the stuff that doesn't really make 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.360 our country a better place, but they go on with it. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.480 And I'm pleased to say there's been some great reporting 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.440 about this in the past few days. Shane Wright in 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.440 the Channel nine newspapers, and in the Australian newspaper they 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.280 have been focused on via the reporting of Jeff Chambers 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.160 sixteen million bucks. That's how much all of the upper 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.600 echelons of the people around Albo are. And they started 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:47.800 to jump in here and have a look at the 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.120 numbers of people who are in that ever growing public service. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.200 And I know there was an election where there was 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:57.000 some conversation about this, but that doesn't matter. A point 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:01.079 still stands here, which is since the Australian public service 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.199 levels hit a fourteen year low of one hundred and 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.600 forty four thousand employees at the end of twenty nineteen, 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.679 there has been an explosion in federal bureaucracy under the 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.120 Albanese government, who's now taken from one hundred and forty 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:16.440 four thousand to two hundred and thirteen thousand staff going 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.880 into the financial year of this year and next year. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.960 This nice little chart again from the Australian newspaper shows 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.000 you exactly where that stuff has been. Now they say 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.160 every single person when it comes to an increase in 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.559 the public service, they are there to help. Okay, thirty 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.000 nine thousand of them may well have been there to 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.880 help of extras, But what about the football stadium of 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:41.120 people in administration seventeen thousand since twenty nineteen have been 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.839 added sixteen thousand in compliance and regulation, portfolio, program and 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:51.080 project management fifteen almost sixteen thousand, strategic policy fourteen thousand, 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.920 Communications and marketing up eighty nine percent since twenty nineteen 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:01.040 to now three thousand fully paid for all time employees 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.640 of the Australian Public Service. And yes, while there was 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.200 some conversation about Canberra based public servants, and again that 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.120 nuance was lost and any suggestion that this is anything 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.880 but a good thing for our country is met with 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.839 fear and doom about any and everyone who works for 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:22.160 the Australian government in any and every possible way. Well 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.840 we know how that played out at the federal election. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.959 But the truth is that Australia's public service is spread out. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.160 Again a from the Australian newspaper. Yes, majority is in Canberra, 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:38.600 but a football stadium of thirty four thousand are in Victoria, 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.439 In New South Welst thirty two thousand, in Queensland twenty 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.360 five thousand, South Australia thirteen thousand, and even in Western 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:48.079 Australia there are close to ten thousand public servants working 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:55.560 for the federal government, and of course they vote. These 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.920 are the top ten electorates that have the most number 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.920 of Commonwealth public servants that live in them. I think 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.720 you can see pretty obviously here that the extreme majority 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.960 of them are represented by the Labor Party, Canberra being 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:18.440 Fenna Eden, Manero, Adelaide, Franklin, Sturt Wills, Brisbane, Melbourne, Griffith. Sorry, 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.720 this is the top twenty boothby Marabanon, Lily Hein, marsh 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.440 Macon and Perth. The Coalition only represents two of these seats, 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.920 being Herbert and Riverina and clark In In Tasmania is 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:39.680 represented by an independent Andrew Wilkie. And as the public 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.200 service grows and any conversation about how efficient that is, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.239 how relevant that is, how expensive that is, how effective 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.000 that is, well it is of course met with fear 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.600 and doom from the political party of which such a 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.360 huge percentage of these people end up voting for. And 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.600 that speaks at the absolute at heart to something that 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:06.400 I have been drawing on your screens metaphorically for years now, 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.440 which is what I believe to be a triangle of 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:13.040 dependence that put simply if you are somebody who relies 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.120 upon the government for welfare, you have to keep voting 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.960 for the same party to be in the government. If 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.480 you work for the government, then you keep voting for 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.720 the political party that is the government. So no one 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.200 rocks the boat. And if you're in private industry, if 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.480 the government is your biggest client or customer, you don't 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.360 rock the boat. So once you put together hundreds of 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.440 thousands of public servants spread out all across the country, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.360 once you put the millions of people when it comes 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:47.160 to welfare, not entitlement, welfare and all of those businesses, 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.240 you end up with in part results like we have 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.040 got of recent elections. This is how you build a 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:58.600 permanent one party rule. It has been widely successful for 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.640 the Labor Party. Why would they change. But as somebody 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.800 who lives outside of that system, like I know many 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.960 of you do, seeing how big it grows and questioning 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.560 whether its growth is always a good thing is something 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.120 that's still a free society should be able to do. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.720 But if it all comes at essentially it keeps growing, 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.240 the blob keeps growing, regardless of how much it costs, 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.520 regardless of what it does, then no one rocks the boat. 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.920 Which means one party stays in power forever, like Victoria, 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.200 with the exception of one term of the Libs. They've 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.400 been around for about thirty years, with the exception of 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.160 one term a few years ago, and now in Queensland 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.600 again thirty year run of the Labor Party in places 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.800 like Queensland. In a second, i'll show you about how 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:51.640 they are trying to create permanent one party rule in 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.240 other parts of the country. But that triangle of dependence, 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.680 it is something that is absolutely the goal of the 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.160 modern center left, which is that the Labor Party is 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.920 the government, and you love the government, and the government 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.560 will take care of you, regardless of whether it's a 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:13.080 one to two or three trillion dollar deficit, regardless of 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.360 whether there are too many people fighting for too few things, 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.800 because we have to keep things like mass immigration going 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.479 on and on and on as long as that triangle works. 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.480 And we know triangles some of the strongest shapes you 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:31.840 can possibly have. Why because it all reinforces itself to 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:37.120 law and order, specifically the court in South Australia. Now, 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.239 I'm one of these crazy people who believes that when 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.439 someone commits a crime, they should be punished for the 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.400 crime yes, slowly, but surely because not everyone gets life 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.760 towards the end of it. That's when rehabilitation and your 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.200 ability to move back into the real world, well, okay, 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.560 that starts to kick in. But there are certain crimes 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.680 where the sentences have to be so large to send 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.160 a message to the commuit unity. Firstly, you don't want 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.639 to do this because you're going to spend an awful 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.200 long time in jar but secondly it's also because it's 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.600 a statement of national values that this does not happen here. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.760 And you saw the Court of Appeal in South Australia 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.840 because they have made it curious in my view decision 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.160 in the past couple of days, but it is one 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.560 that gives us an idea about a legal system, not 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.080 a justice system, as Darren Hinch said so many years 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.720 on the air, and when of course his party was 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.400 focused in and around these issues and was quite successful 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.399 in Victoria for quite a few years. I want to 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.159 go back a couple of years where there was a 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.720 young woman who was stabbed and she was stabbed by 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:46.760 her father. The reason I'll get to in a second. 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.880 The image is one from CCTV footage that was released 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:55.040 by the Supreme Court of South Australia of a man 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.680 with a knife. The police investigating the scene because the 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:06.399 stab happened in broad daylight in a shopping center. Well, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.800 multiple members of the family ended up going before the courts, 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:15.240 but the specific focus is the man the father. Have 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.320 a look here I read now from the ABC and 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:19.120 their accounting of what has happened in the past couple 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:24.359 of days, members of an Adelaide Honor stabbing victim family 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.239 members rather of Adelaide Honor stabbing victim have had their 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.720 sentences reduced. The trio and other family members were charged 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.000 after a twenty one year old woman was held down 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.119 and stabbed outside the Sefton Plaza shopping center in Adelaide's 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:43.680 North in November two thy and twenty one. She was 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.880 repeatedly stabbed in the abdomen with a large kitchen knife 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.800 before being driven to the family home and put into 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:55.080 a shower. The woman suffered significant internal injuries in the incident. 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.480 There is more to this story and as the headline 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:05.119 has told you why the stabbing took place again, we 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.760 continue to read from the story from the ABC released 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:13.280 today on their website. The court had previously heard that 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:17.919 the traditional Pashtun Muslim family disapproved of her relationship with 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.800 a Christian man and worked together to track her down. 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.280 In the lead up to the stabbing, The crime had 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:29.080 previously been described in court as an attempted honor killing. 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.800 In written reasons. The court also noted that the victim 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.600 of the offending had now provided a sworn Affi David 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.320 earlier this year, stating that quote she forgives the appellance 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:49.000 and expresses favorable views as to the appellan's remorse and 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.760 therefore a desirability of a non custodial sentence. But let's 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.160 be very clear what happened here. The father pled guilty 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.440 to the charges of false imprisonment and aggravated korus in 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.359 serious with intent as originally judged for fourteen years and 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.680 three months. Remember what are the beginnings of what they 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:12.439 believe to be a planned honor killing. Why because of 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:18.000 her relationship with a Christian man, his total sentence has 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:21.520 been reduced by almost four years from fourteen to now 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.280 ten and a half, with a non parole period of 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:28.680 seven years and six months. Now this is the perfect 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.840 example of the legal system, not the justice system, and 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:36.880 whatever relationship that victim has to the person responsible for 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:42.040 it is one thing, but how can any court anywhere 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:46.119 in the country do anything but send the loudest, loudest, 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:53.840 loudest message. That's that a woman being stabbed, threatened, kidnapped 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:58.560 or maybe even killed because of the faith of the 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:03.480 people that she chooses to mix with. No way. Now again, 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.920 I know the way the system works. You get fourteen years, 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.880 but the victim's able to say, hey, I forgive, which 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:15.920 means the justice system stands aside in terms of punishment, 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.160 and we get the legal system, which means the time 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.600 goes down, the person remains in jalen will for some time. 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.800 But am I the only person in Australia who thinks 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:26.960 that the original decision is right and should not have 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:30.440 been changed? Tell me your thoughts, paul a skynews dot 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:33.720 com dot au. What I was mentioning before about the 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:37.280 permanent rule of one particular political party. I want to 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.400 turn now again to South Australia. Stick with South Australia, 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:44.160 but now turned to their state parliament because they've made 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.359 some interesting decisions in the past couple of days. In fact, 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:49.399 the law passed last year, but it's all come to 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.000 effect on July the first. The South Australian Premier, Peter 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.480 malanowskis a bloke who remains incredibly popular and as Iltia 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:57.720 in a second, looks like you can to absolutely cake 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.560 walk it in at the next state election. The Liberal 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.520 Party being reduced to well even less than a Torrago 0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:07.119 most likely. Well, they made a decision, which is a 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:09.479 good one and one that I support, which is no 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:12.520 longer will there be cor flutes, those ugly posters that 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.359
