WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 5 September

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>From the Skying Center.

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:08.719
<v Speaker 2>This is Paul Murray Live. Yeah, thank you, Jenji said yourself.

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, plenty to talk about on tonight's show, looking

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 2>forward to it. But I want to get to something

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>which is a little bit of a reminder about a

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>job we've all got to do this weekend. Thankfully, the

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 2>weather is getting warmer as we make our way towards spring,

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>but we all know what comes after and that is

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>yet again summer and bushfires. But what does always happen

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.239
<v Speaker 2>in spring is that there are going to be some

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 2>bushfire breakouts between now and the official start of summer,

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 2>and a collection of fire commissioners have been meeting in

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Sydney this week where they released a map of where

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the bushfire worries are for spring. We don't have an

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 2>image yet about what the plan is and picture is

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 2>for summer, but as you can see, there is significant

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 2>problems which look like they're going to be on their

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>way this spring in Queensland, the Northern Territory as well

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>particular worries there in lower western Victoria. Here is many

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 2>of the fire commissioners who will have to be dealing

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>with all of this, explaining what their concerns are in

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>your state. Well, conditions went through our summer period.

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 3>There are ideal conditions for growth, and we've got significant

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.320
<v Speaker 3>vegetation growth that is cured with a dryer than average winter.

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>That is our highest risk for the state. That's not

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>to say there might be bushfire risk elsewhere, but that

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 2>is our significant concert at the mind.

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 4>We don't see meaningful rainfall through spring that we will

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 4>go into summer having had a dry spring, a dry winter,

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 4>and a dry.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Aughtly takes a couple of warm days, strong winds and

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 3>we have fires that start threatening properties.

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, community service time, the same way that I told

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>you in the absolute depths of winter to make sure

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>your blankets are nowhere near heaters. Thankfully, lots of people

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 2>followed that and we did not end up with the

0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 2>house fire situation we were concerned about. This weekend, find

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a couple of hours to go around the house, clean

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>up the leaves, take the crap off the roof, clean

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>out the gutters. I know It's what I'm going to

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 2>be doing this weekend. If that mental image is not

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>enough for you, here is one of the people again

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>at that conference, reminding us now is the time, not

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 2>when the fire is upon us. To try to make

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>sure your joint is as safe as possible. And here's

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 2>a take. People need to get in, sit down with

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>your family, make a plan if you're in a bush

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>fire prime area, or you're planning over Christmas to go

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to go on holidays into a bushfire prime area. All right,

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>let's get to Canberra. Bill Shorden has of course pulled

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the pin. He won't go immediately, but he won't be

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>contesting the next election. He will be starting a new

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>job in the world of academia and the media, who

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.519
<v Speaker 2>of course always believed he should have been Prime minister

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>because they predicted it in twenty nineteen, well they swooned

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>the news of this potential prime minister who sadly never

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>quite made it.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 5>The leadership potential of the then Australian Workers' Unions National

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 5>secretary evidence even before he entered politics.

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 4>Been a constant throughout two turbulent decades of Australian politics.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Ending seventeen years in Parliament, a minister in three Labor governments,

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Labor leader for six years ron he hit people's TV

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>screens as the impressive union leader during the Beaconsfield mind disaster.

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, by the way, the Beaconsfield mind thing. I was

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>there too. You may see the microphone in all of

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>that which was being held up for triple m Well

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 2>that was me way back when. Yes, I have a

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>past two didn't have a bear back then, but many

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>days since then. I have, of course disagreed with almost

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>everything that Bill Shorten has put before the Australian public.

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>But of course I wish him nothing but the best

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.119
<v Speaker 2>in real life. Good luck to him. However, the job

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 2>that he's going to, there's some questions that need to

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 2>be answered here. You see, he is going off to

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the University of Canberra. We know that he'll be earning

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.839
<v Speaker 2>apparently about a million dollars a year, and he will

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>be the vice chancellor. In fact, here he is explaining

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>the job that he is going off to. But between

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>now and then he will still be a minister sitting

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>around a cabinet table that, among other things, will discuss

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>university funding. Nothing to see here, right.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited to say that from February of next year,

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 3>I've been chosen to be the vice chancellor of the

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 3>University of Canberra. Education is the modern means of taking

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>someone from disadvantage to advantage in a way that no

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 3>other methods can and universities have a critical role to play.

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Good luck to However, there's again some questions to answer

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 2>him now for him to be able to announce the

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>job that he did today, presumably he wasn't offered it yesterday.

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Presumably he negotiated his contract and at some point had

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 2>to fill out a piece of paper to apply for

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>the job. When did that happen? Did the Prime Minister

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>know from the second that he was either offered a

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 2>job or was open to becoming a candidate for the job,

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Because there are plenty of examples when this happens on

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the other side where everyone wants to follow every little

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 2>detail to make sure that everything is above board. But

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>to give you an idea about just how tight everything

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 2>is in Canberra, I want to tell you one of

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 2>the people who is at the University of canber Her

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>name is Lisa Paul, and Lisa Paul is the chancellor.

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Bill Shorten will end up being the vice chancellor. Now,

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>how incredibly convenient that of all of the people in

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>all of the country that Bill Shorten chose to do

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 2>an inquiry into the ndis that he chose Lisa Paul. Here,

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 2>in fact, is her bio from the NDIS Independent Commission,

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and that's her buyer. Now. Interestingly as well, before she

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>became the chancellor of Camberra University, before she was given

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the side hustle by Bill Shorten, she was the head

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>of a federal government department. In fact, she'd been the

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 2>head of many federal government departments during the previous rud

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Gillard Rudd years, including a small period of time in

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 2>the Education Department where during the Rudd Gillard Rudd years,

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Bill Shorten was a minister. Now again I have to

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 2>be very clear just in case by lawyers are puckering

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 2>as we speak. I'm not suggesting anything untoward. I am

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 2>just showing you a perfect example of the Canberra bubble.

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>The public servant becomes the head of the university. The

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 2>head of the university does the inquiry for the Labor government.

0:06:54.839 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>The head of the university overseas the position of vice chancellor,

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 2>which goes to the current Labor Minister. But of course

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the history of Bill Shorton is obvious. Bill Shorten thought

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>he was going to be the prime minister because everyone

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>told him he was going to be the prime minister,

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>apart from us in twenty nineteen, no doubt a deep

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 2>personal and political disappointment, but who cares The Australian people

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 2>were taken for granted? How did we know? Because remember

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 2>the day before that election, he wasn't out about in campaigning.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>He was on the biers with Daniel Andrews and among others,

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>celebrating Bob Hawk, who had passed away around the same

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 2>period of time. He thought the election was in the

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 2>bag and it was time for the labor legend to

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 2>align himself with other labor legends because he was of

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>course going to become the Australian Prime Minister and thus

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>say labor legend. But the reality about Bill Shorton is

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a rule that is kind of the same in showbiz

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>as it is about politics, which is be careful how

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>you become famous. Now people think that he became famous

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 2>at the Beaconsfield Mine, sure, but about ten years later

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>he became famous as the faceless Man. Remember the faceless

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>man who was working the numbers to get rid of

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Julia Gillard and then eventually to put back Kevin Rudd.

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 2>And then he was also famous for completely agreeing with

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Julia Gillard even though he had no idea what Julia

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Gillard had actually said.

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 3>I understand that the Prime Minister's addressed this in a

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 3>press conference in Turkey in the last few hours. I

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 3>haven't seen what she said, but let me say I

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 3>support what it is that she said. Hang on, you

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 3>haven't seen what she said, but I support what my

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 3>prime minister said. So what's your view on my view

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 3>is what the Prime Minister's view is, Okay.

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>And then there's the grab that we have delighted in

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>over many years and we had to reach all the

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 2>way back to the VHS era to buy the dust

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>off it. But remember when Bill Shorton was the Opposition

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>leader and he was dancing in Pacific Island Nations and

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 2>then he saw that somebody wasn't wearing a top. So

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 2>we turned away roll this one. But of course no

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>one will ask any of the questions that I just did.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 2>But just the Camber bubble incredible now in terms of

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>worries that Australians have being able to keep their own

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 2>home right now because of what's happening. When it comes

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to interest rates in the overall economy, it'd have to

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>be up there as one of the biggest. Certainly, I

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 2>know that lots of my mates, regardless of how much

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 2>their house is worth. Have all noticed well and truly

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 2>that interest rates have gone up a dozen times since

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Albernezi became the Prime Minister and Jim Charmers became

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the great passenger and observer the Australian economy, and there

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of people that are doing it tough

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>because of those repayments. We learned today that a million

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Victorian households are found to be in mortgage or rend stress.

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 2>This means that you are paying way more for rent

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>or paying off your house than you should be. Generally speaking,

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>it should only be about a third of your wage.

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Anything above that, certainly once you start getting to a

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>half or even more than that, which again some of

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>my mates have ended up in that scenario. Well, Michelle

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 2>Bullock is now saying that the people who are in

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 2>mortgage stress, the people who are finding it difficult to

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>pay off the house at the moment because of those

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 2>high interest rates that are high because of in part

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>the actions of the federal government. Well she's got a

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 2>blunt message. There's a chance they'll keep going up and

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>if you are in that sort of mortgage stress, don't

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 2>wait for them to come down. It might be time

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to sell the house you're living in. What a frightening.

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 6>Prospect For our occupies with very rate loans, which is

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 6>a subset of all borrowers, we estimate that around five

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 6>percent are in a particularly challenging situation now. Although this

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 6>group is fit really small overall, those in it have

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 6>to make some quite painful adjustments to avoid falling behind

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 6>on their mortgagey payments. This includes things like cutting back

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 6>on their spending to the more essential items, trading down

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 6>to lower quality goods and services, dipping into their savings,

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 6>or working extra hours, and some may ultimately have to

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 6>make the very difficult choice to sell their home now.

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Of course Jim Chalmers will say this is great because

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>it's her delivering the bad message, but of course it's

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 2>his bad economy. Take your pick. The amount that we

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>export versus the amount that we import, which is now

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 2>in the wrong spot, the value of the Australian dollar

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 2>which is in the wrong spot, the six quarters in

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>a row of a per capita recession which is the

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 2>wrong spot for the best part of eighteen months. And

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>an economy in terms of growth that is like an

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>idling car that because it's badly tuned slightly rolls forward

0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 2>at the lights. Again, not the position that other countries

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 2>like the United States of the United Kingdom are in

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 2>let alone places like Canada or Japan. So if anyone

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>thinks that rates are about to be cut anytime soon,

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>it of course would be the Treasurer and the Prime Minister.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>The assumption is that the thirteenth interesstrate rise would become

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 2>what is politically difficult for the government. But my argument

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and my understanding, my lived experience, your lived experience, is

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 2>that the interest rate python, which has been squeezing people

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>to rabina purple, was bad at twelve eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven,

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:42.319
<v Speaker 2>six interst rate rises. For guess what, there may be

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>a chance of another interstrate rise, that thirteenth that the

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 2>press gallery say is going to be a problem, when

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 2>the rest of us in the real world have known

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>that there's been a problem way longer than the thirteenth.

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Here again is Michelle Bullock talking about the reality that

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>inflation in Australia should be between two and three percent.

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 2>It is currently closer to four percent than it is

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 2>three percent, meaning rates up again.

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 7>Maybe so the board's message following its meeting only a

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 7>few weeks ago was that it's premature to be thinking

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 7>about rate.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Cuts and when does inflation go back to between two

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and three percent the agreed position of both federal government

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.959
<v Speaker 2>and Reserve Bank, regardless of all of the other garbage. Well,

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 2>this long is how you're going to have to wait,

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and how long we're all still going to be paying

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>more for what we were already paying more for last

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>year and already paying almost double more than two years ago.

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 7>Now in our Central August forecast, underlying inflation is expected

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 7>to back in the target range by the end of

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 7>next year and to approach the midpoint in twenty twenty six.

0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Now to further underline my point about how serious this

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>situation is and how beyond the thirteenth will be the problem,

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and why the twelfth, the eleventh to tenth, all of

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>those are the problem. Why the five percent of people

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 2>who may will be right in the whole one may

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 2>have to sell their house. Now, remember, selling your house

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 2>if it's worth an awful lot of money and you've

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>got money left over, may well open up the opportunity

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>of buying another house somewhere else. But for many people

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 2>it won't result in either enough money. If you're borrowed

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 2>to the hilt to be able to have enough of

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 2>a deposit, let alone to qualify for another homeland somewhere else.

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 2>So then you start talking about the rental market. Well,

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 2>the rental market, of course now is less than one

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 2>percent of all available rental properties actually being available in

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 2>the capital cities and in regional areas too, as I've

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>often pointed out an example of this, which is that say, Ipswich,

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 2>beautiful Lipswich, west of Brisbane. It's still a commute if

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>you've got to go into Brizzi, but it's close enough

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>if you want to go for a drive the best

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>part of what forty minutes. More than one hundred and

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty people turn out up to rental inspections there to

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>look for one property. The numbers way bigger in Sydney,

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Melbourne and central Brisbane, let alone what's going on right

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 2>now in Adelaide, Perth and Hobart. So today we've got

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 2>some information from the University of Technology in Sydney UTS

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 2>very left wing university. To check out their media program,

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 2>which is essentially three years of learning white our paid

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Sky News. But anyway, they did a research project talking

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>about people who are in the band where it is

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 2>hard to pay off your house, hard to pay rent,

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>have a look at this. In the past two years,

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>seventy percent of people say that they have experienced a

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 2>rent increase. That is up by seven percent compared to

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 2>this time last year. Nineteen percent said that their lease

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 2>had been terminated or not renewed. That's up six percent.

0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 2>The people who had to move house because of the

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 2>house they were in was to expensive, so therefore they

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>moved to a cheaper one is up four percent in

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 2>twelve months to eighteen percent. Sixteen percent of people had

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 2>to move in with their family, and people who experienced

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>homelessness was seven percent of those that they had talked to.

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Australia has more homeless people today than it did at

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 2>the census, and at the census it was the biggest

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 2>number we had ever had. That was in twenty twenty one. Meantime,

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 2>about the cost of housing, people who could not make

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 2>at least one payment, that being a payment for your

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 2>mortgage or your rent, sixty five percent of people that

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 2>they had spoken to, up six percent in the past

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>three years could not pay the utility bill on time

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 2>half that's up nine percent. Could not afford to travel

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 2>for essential reasons forty four percent up seven could not

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 2>make a minimum payment on a credit card thirty seven percent,

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 2>and could not pay mortgage or rent on time thirty

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 2>five percent. This is why I talk about cost of

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 2>living every night. I talk about it every night because

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 2>it is a problem. It is a genuine source of

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 2>concern for a huge amount of people around Australia. The

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.440
<v Speaker 2>government wants to pretend nothing to see here. It's all

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 2>international factors, bull dust one more hue. Where do people

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>go for help when they're in these sorts of financial straits.

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.159
<v Speaker 2>They sought the financial assistance of a family member or

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>a friend forty six percent of people up seven percent.

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.360
<v Speaker 2>They use those by now pay later things for essential

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>goods like food forty one percent. People who pawned or

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 2>sold something off because they needed the cash now is

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 2>up almost ten percent, thirty nine percent of people in

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the past couple of years. Yet the Prime Minister and

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:58.399
<v Speaker 2>his passenger treasurer, well, we know they think everything's great

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:11.399
<v Speaker 2>and the song playing in there head is. But in

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 2>the real world, most people can hear the pounding of

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 2>their heart as they try to work out how the

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.160
<v Speaker 2>hell they're going to make it through next week, next month,

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 2>let alone next to you. Despite the fact that Australia

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.359
<v Speaker 2>is just one percent of global emissions. This is not

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.879
<v Speaker 2>me denying climate change, its existence or human involvement and

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 2>it you can't have eight billion people on the planet

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 2>without doing something to the atmosphere. But Australia is one

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>one percent of global emissions. Here is a helpful graft

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to remind you of how we compare to the rest

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 2>of the world. As I've shown you this by the way,

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 2>it comes from the Union of Concerned Scientists, not the

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>right wing think tank. China is about a third of

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 2>what the world has to deal with right now. The

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Third World is again a significant number, as is Russia

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 2>and India. Yes, the United States a big picture in it.

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 2>But Australia is the one that absolutely must do something

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 2>despite the fact that, as I've told you a trillion

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 2>times before, Australia, even if we stopped everything and we

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 2>went back to whatever green dream Adam Bant may have

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the night, the pollution that comes

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 2>out of China would replace everything Australia does in one year,

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:27.159
<v Speaker 2>in sixteen days. That was the IPA with their study.

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 2>A couple of years ago, and despite the fact that

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 2>it is China who is building more coal fire power

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:38.880
<v Speaker 2>plants and in actual fact is responsible for ninety five

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.919
<v Speaker 2>percent of all new coal fire power construction in twenty

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:48.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, it is Australia who absolutely must solve the

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 2>climate crisis. One percent of the climate crisis now in

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen Australians no, no, no, forty three percent, sorry, forty

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 2>five percent target of Bill Shorten. That's too much. But

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.159
<v Speaker 2>then because interests, because our power bills, we're going to

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 2>fall by two hundred and seventy five dollars and hundreds

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 2>of thousands of new jobs will be created. Apparently just

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 2>two percent three years later was the perfect place where

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>out the Albanezi was able to get himself elected. Of course,

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the Duton opposition says they're not going to play the

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirty game because the main game is net zero

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 2>by twenty fifty. But there is something that happens between

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and thirty, which is the forty three percent

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 2>mark and net zero of twenty fifty, and that is

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.720
<v Speaker 2>countries like Australia having to go even deeper, even harder

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 2>on the expectations of climate cuts for two thousand and

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty five. Now, interestingly, we read today that the announcement

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 2>from the Albanese government may well conveniently be delayed until

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:57.159
<v Speaker 2>potentially after the election. About just how high that target

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 2>will move from forty three percent, And in part that's

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 2>because we're standing by to see what's happening in the

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:08.439
<v Speaker 2>United States. Now, let's be very clear, Kamala Harris is

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 2>part of an administration that has gone hard trying to

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>push down numbers. When it comes to the climbing emissions

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:17.919
<v Speaker 2>of the United States. Trump would pull out of the

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Paris Agreement because China is not held to the same

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 2>account as the United States, and China produces more pollution

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>than the United States. So obviously who ends up winning

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 2>that election will matter because one percent of the world

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:35.679
<v Speaker 2>deciding to go hard when half of the world isn't. Well,

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 2>you see the problem there, because you see the atmosphere

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 2>is global, not just local. We can't solve the weather

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 2>here in Australia. But to give you an idea of

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.200
<v Speaker 2>if this goverment goes into a minority after the next election,

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>and then they will have to set a target after

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.879
<v Speaker 2>the next election. These are the targets that the people

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.439
<v Speaker 2>who will hold together the Parliament, the Greens and the

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.720
<v Speaker 2>tea ULLs, would demand by twenty thirty five. They don't

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 2>want the Greens and net zero by twenty fifty, they

0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 2>want it by twenty thirty five. The Teals don't want

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 2>forty three percent by twenty thirty, they want it to

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 2>be amped to seventy five percent by twenty thirty five.

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 2>That minority government is seemingly inevitable as Labours two party

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 2>prefer vote falls and their primary vote falls. So the

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 2>likelihood or the best case scenario for Labor is to

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 2>pretend that they don't have a target going into twenty

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.640
<v Speaker 2>thirty five, to have an election in twenty twenty five,

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 2>and then because the Greens tell them they have to

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 2>do it all, they'll lose government, producing a number way

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 2>wilder than anything that Australians been willing to accept at

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 2>a ballot box any time in Australian political history. Nothing

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to see here, right, That's why your vote matters. That's

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:58.880
<v Speaker 2>why your preferences matter too. On this show, we back

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 2>the Blue, as they say in the US, we back police.

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 2>It's the hardest job that people have is to work

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 2>in the emergency services and we always support police, which

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.760
<v Speaker 2>is why I read interestingly today that police in Victoria

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:17.400
<v Speaker 2>have now started to begin industrial action against the far

0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>left Allen Labor government in Victoria. Are they striking, No,

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 2>but they're starting to put messages on the police cars

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 2>that if they are needed to turn up in your

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 2>part of the world, will turn up in your part

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.640
<v Speaker 2>of the world. It says, among other things, new train

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 2>stations open, but police stations close. Under labor, they demand

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 2>that there's an end of the wage theft towards police.

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:42.080
<v Speaker 2>You're going to see a lot of this in the

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:45.639
<v Speaker 2>next little while because police want a pay rise, and

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I say they deserve a pay rise, whatever number they want,

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 2>give it to them and do not complain because these

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 2>are the people who are holding a state together.

0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Just morale is hopeless in policing. I've really seen it worse,

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 4>to be quite honest. If you've got the money for

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:08.119
<v Speaker 4>other workers, then clearly you should find it for the

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 4>people that come to work every day to keep you safe.

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Now again, remember a couple of years ago when all

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 2>of the lefties were wringing their hands and screaming as

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 2>loud as they possibly could because Australia didn't have enough

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 2>rat tests or PPE gear, even though of course we

0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 2>ended up with enough of both, in fact millions of

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.640
<v Speaker 2>them that we didn't really need in the end were

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Something far more serious is the situation that has been

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 2>unfolding in the past couple of months in and around

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that you need to keep people alive. Australia

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 2>at one point was running out of IV drips. People

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:45.240
<v Speaker 2>were being told to drink water to get themselves through

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.480
<v Speaker 2>their hospital stays to keep their hydration up as opposed

0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to the hydration coming from the salty bag. That also

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>then led to scenarios where vets were having to ration

0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 2>the supply, meaning that the animals that we care most

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:06.119
<v Speaker 2>for or some had their surgeries delayed. Inevitably, some may

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 2>will have lost their lives. The government eventually got on

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 2>top of it, claiming that they've got twenty two million

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 2>bags coming, but they did it after people have blown

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the whistle, not in preparation for these problems. The IV

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:24.360
<v Speaker 2>situation then moved into another shortage, which was that Australia

0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 2>apparently still has a shortage of morphine, desperately necessary, particularly

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:33.199
<v Speaker 2>in palliative care. But we all know how morphine can

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>be used to deal with a lot of other issues.

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:41.199
<v Speaker 2>But again this government didn't have enough on supply, and

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 2>now I want to get to a drug that literally

0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:49.199
<v Speaker 2>could well be again an example of serious illness or

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 2>being able to go about your day. It is a

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:56.880
<v Speaker 2>drug which is referred to as PREP. It is something

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:04.159
<v Speaker 2>that saves people from developing HIV. The story this week

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 2>is that HIV prevention medication PREP is now in short supply.

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>How to explain this one to you? The Therapeutic Goods

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Administration confirmed in news dot com that are You and

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:18.959
<v Speaker 2>other news outlets in the past couple of days that

0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.640
<v Speaker 2>it is aware of shortages of multiple brands of official

0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 2>medical name for PREP. Now. PREP is effective in ninety

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:33.399
<v Speaker 2>nine percent of cases of people not developing HIV. PREP

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.879
<v Speaker 2>is a medication used to reduce the risk of sexually

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 2>acquired HIV. This is for adults that are in high risk.

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:46.120
<v Speaker 2>A recent study revealed seventy thousand people in Australia had

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 2>been dispensed PREP between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty three.

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>What is going on when our government runs out of

0:26:55.119 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 2>IV drips, morphine or drugs that could stop people getting aid?

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 2>If you are in any of those categories. Make sure

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you're ring ahead and find whatever supply you possibly can.

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't hoard, but find the supplies you possibly can. Obviously,

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>do everything you can to keep yourself safe. Do you

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 2>not need any of those things? But right now that's

0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 2>a concern. Now there is still some of this stuff

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that is around in Australia, but it's not as much

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>as we should be having. And the idea that I

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 2>even have to tell you about this stuff is a disgrace.

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 2>But does that surprise you. There is one less seat

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Labor Party after changes to the electoral boundaries

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 2>going into the twenty twenty five election. Presumably we're not

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 2>going to have one earlier than that, and it is

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 2>the seat of Higgins. This of course was formally, among others,

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Peter Costello's old seat in the Parliament. Decision was made

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 2>today that that seat will now be abolished. That this

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:58.639
<v Speaker 2>means Labor will potentially have one less seat going into

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:00.880
<v Speaker 2>an election, where as I said before, they're most likely

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.400
<v Speaker 2>headed towards minority government. And while Labour loses a seat,

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:09.640
<v Speaker 2>it looks like Fanny Bay in Darwin, the beautiful location

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>in Darwin. Well, it's all pretty beautiful but Fanny Bay

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:16.199
<v Speaker 2>in Darwin is about to produce a Greens MP, the

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>first Greens MP to go into the territory parliament. Remember,

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 2>this government is expecting also to increase the number of

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 2>senators out of the Northern Territory, which means you could

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 2>end up with even more Greens, which means even more

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:34.760
<v Speaker 2>lefties in our federal Parliament. One of the many interesting

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 2>battles between a vice president to Kamala Harris and former

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>President Donald Trump is the fight for the youth vote. Now,

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 2>always young people end up choosing the lefty over the righty,

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 2>or in this case, the Democrat over the Republicans. And

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the latest poll suggests that gen Z voters at least

0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 2>half of them are in the tank for Harris, but

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 2>amazingly a third of them currently back Trump. The other

0:28:57.880 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 2>third are either sitting it out because of things like

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 2>gard or they're backing in some very fringe candidates that

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 2>may well get one percent of the national vote. But

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 2>today was the day where everyone was focused on the

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 2>kids and it was very subtle. Now you may well

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 2>not notice the four D chess that Kamala Harris was

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 2>playing here, but just randomly in the middle of a

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 2>speech today, she said this.

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 8>I love gen Z, I just love gen Z.

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 2>And Donald Trump says that the favorite social media app

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 2>used by gen Z, I'm not going to say jen Z,

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the Chinese surveillance app TikTok, will of course be shut

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 2>down because of a bill that has been passed by

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris and by Joe Biden. So this is his

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 2>message directly to duck kids with a Z.

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 9>So if you like TikTok, go out and vote for Trump.

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 9>If you don't care about TikTok and other things like safety,

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 9>security and prosperity, then you can vote for a Marxist

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 9>who is going to destroy our country.

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure on TikTok, it was more dancing and music

0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 2>underneath it and whatever. You have those glasses, the digital

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 2>glasses that go on, but I'm not on it. Just

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 2>be assuming it's the old man. By the way, if

0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you think I'm making this up New York Times, far

0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 2>left wing newspaper, Yeah, this bill passed through the House

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and the Senate, which was unless the Chinese sell the

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 2>American version of TikTok, they will ban it in the

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 2>United States. Trump says, if he is elected that will

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:42.320
<v Speaker 2>not happen, but I love gen z I meantime, you

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 2>might have seen this in the past couple of days.

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 2>It is somebody asking a smart device, this one run

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 2>by Amazon known as Alexa, about whether they should vote

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 2>for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 8>Roll the tape, Alexa, why should they vote for Donald Trump?

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 5>I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 5>or a specific candidate.

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 8>Alexa, why should I vote for Kamala Harris.

0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 5>While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris,

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:18.959
<v Speaker 5>the most significant may be that she is a strong

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 5>candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment. As the

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.720
<v Speaker 5>first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.719
<v Speaker 5>major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 5>characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 5>on helping disenfranchised communities.

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Really, now, in fairness, if you're asking you a spontspeaker

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 2>who you should vote for, more problems in the world.

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.479
<v Speaker 2>But it's an example of how big tech works. How

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:45.880
<v Speaker 2>do people get their information? Lots of different ways, not

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the way that we used to ten years ago, a

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 2>litt alone twenty years ago. And that gives you an

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 2>insight into How yet again big tech is caught backing

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the Dems over the Republicans, backing Harris in this case

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 2>over Trump. Now, of course, it has been announced today

0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 2>that all of this was an error that has now

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>been fixed. Apparently Amazon says that it was an error

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and they have now fixed it. But what about chat

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 2>GPT awesome when you're trying to send funny photos to

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:21.640
<v Speaker 2>each other? But that, of course, according to a survey,

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 2>And again this appeared in the far right wing newspaper

0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 2>at the Washington Post. Chat GPT leans liberal researchers show.

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 2>And then what about the AI that's being run by Meta,

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 2>who own Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. Well, Meta, of course

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 2>keeps serving up false facts about Trump's shooting. And what

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 2>about Google, where most people go to say, what should

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I this? How much is that? What does this? Who

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 2>should I vote for? For some people? Well again, how

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Google manipulated search to favor liberals and tip elections. Isn't

0:32:55.800 --> 0:33:01.440
<v Speaker 2>it amazing? All these glitches, all of these miss but

0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>they only ever help the left more? In a sect

0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 2>tonight is a no sook snow lefty show. You're going

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 2>to love it. Winners and losers in a moment or two.

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Stay where you are because you're in good hands. Remember

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a couple of nights ago I told you about how

0:33:19.120 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 2>the government was going to try to turn your local

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 2>tax agent into the well police for the ATO. Well,

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 2>as I told you, then there was a huge pushback,

0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:32.000
<v Speaker 2>among other things, about what your tax agent would have

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 2>to tell you about their own lives, potentially things like

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 2>mental illness before you sign up to them as a client.

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I am very reliably informed that the government is going

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 2>to reverse its decision, but it's not just something that's

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 2>done on paper. They're going to have to vote in

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the Senate to make it happen. We will wait, watch

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and see if it happens. We'll also pay attention to

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:57.719
<v Speaker 2>anyone who votes for the government's regime. Join us now

0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 2>for no sooksno lefties, None than Kristin Abram, who was,

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 2>of course a lovely libertarian, and a lovely liberal is

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>none other than Michael Kroger see equal love for everyone.

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 2>They're both in Melbourne now. ACTU came out today with

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>an interesting thing which was talking about the profit margins

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 2>over the past few years of insurance companies and banks. Surprise, surprise,

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 2>they say that it is too high, but interesting to

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 2>note that it has been a significant increase over that

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 2>period of time, and as we've spoken about when it

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:28.320
<v Speaker 2>comes to cost of living and inflation, the increases, particularly

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 2>an insurance premiums, have been worth noting here. So, Michael,

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 2>is there such thing as too much profit for a

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:36.759
<v Speaker 2>financial institution? I say, of course, as a man who

0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 2>no doubt is across them all knows many of the players.

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 2>But is there a point where it's too much?

0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 7>Not?

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.879
<v Speaker 10>Really, You'll notice the subtext of this, by the way,

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:53.800
<v Speaker 10>is the ACTU attacking the banks for causing inflation therefore

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:56.400
<v Speaker 10>higher interest rates. Wink wink. This is part of the

0:34:56.600 --> 0:35:00.799
<v Speaker 10>labor moves attack on the reserve bank, the charmers. It's

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 10>all the reserve banks problem, you know, part of that.

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 10>But no, look, make these vacuous comments from the ac

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 10>to you. You can't just make a comment like that

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 10>without working out how much capital is employed. I mean,

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 10>what is the return on capital for the banks. If

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:18.320
<v Speaker 10>they've got a million dollars employed, they're making a million,

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 10>that's a great return, one hundred percent return. If they've

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:22.879
<v Speaker 10>got a million employed and they're making one million, that's

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 10>a terrible million employed. They're making one hundred dollars. That's

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 10>a terrible return. What is the return on their investment?

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 10>So just as simply an evacuous way to say, oh,

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:35.279
<v Speaker 10>they're making too much money. I mean, it's the kind

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 10>of nonsense, you know, economic nonsense you hear from the

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 10>AC to you. Of course, increased bank profits mean increase

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 10>dividends for members of the union super funds. Hello, and finally, mate,

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 10>better a profitable bank than an unprofitable bank.

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah correct, I mean again, Christen, you know, we get

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:56.960
<v Speaker 2>what the game is here, which is to pretend, oh,

0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.439
<v Speaker 2>the government doesn't send any policy and every policy they've

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:01.760
<v Speaker 2>got is great, and everyone who's not government is somehow

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:05.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to stick a shieb into you. They're numbers, which

0:36:05.160 --> 0:36:07.680
<v Speaker 2>again dutifully reported by a media who doesn't say, well,

0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:11.440
<v Speaker 2>hang on, there's not a bloke sitting around just twirling

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:14.399
<v Speaker 2>his mustache. Who's sitting on the bidians Scrooge McDuck style.

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:16.399
<v Speaker 2>It's being divided up and sent back to the people

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:18.400
<v Speaker 2>who own it, including the people who are forced to

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:20.920
<v Speaker 2>have shares in the bank because of superannuation, which is

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 2>forced on us by government. But their number is forty

0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:26.919
<v Speaker 2>six percent increase in profit two hundred and twelve bf

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a billion. Uga booger, ulga booger.

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 8>I completely agree with Michael. This is part of the

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 8>Labor Party's spin. Chalmers tried to blame the RBA and

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 8>now he's got his union mates coming out and saying

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:45.160
<v Speaker 8>something along the lines of look here, this is the problem.

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:47.960
<v Speaker 8>It's not the government, Please don't look at us. The

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 8>government is clearly the problem in the cost of living

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:54.400
<v Speaker 8>crisis that we're in in there inflation that we're seeing,

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:57.680
<v Speaker 8>and they're looking for anyone to blame as a scapegoat.

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 8>But over regulation of banks is what has led largely

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:05.760
<v Speaker 8>to the big full banks. We are stopping new entrants

0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 8>into the market. So I don't think more regulation is

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 8>ever going to be the solution. That is the problem

0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:13.320
<v Speaker 8>with big government and that is a problem with the

0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:15.840
<v Speaker 8>laves we're all living at the moment. Our cost of

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 8>living crisis is this consistent regulation which lets these big

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:24.399
<v Speaker 8>businesses continue to thrive and stops little businesses from coming

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:25.760
<v Speaker 8>in and creating more competition.

0:37:26.360 --> 0:37:28.719
<v Speaker 2>Now, as I mentioned before, the seed of Higgins disappears,

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 2>an extra seat will appear in Western Australia. This is

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 2>there's the seat of Bullwinkle. Now I joked about this

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.719
<v Speaker 2>when we're in that it was like Rocky and Bullwinkle.

0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it's a reference to a significant a woman

0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 2>through history. That's why the thing has been established in

0:37:44.640 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 2>her name. But Michael is a man who understands electoral

0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:49.400
<v Speaker 2>politics better than I do. And the maps and all

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the rest of it. Here, what does the map tell you?

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Labour now formerly lose as a seat, but do they

0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 2>gain one in Wa? Now what happens.

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:01.160
<v Speaker 10>In theory they gave one in Wa. First of all,

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:05.320
<v Speaker 10>can I say, you know, poor decision by the Electoral

0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:07.919
<v Speaker 10>Commission to abolish the seat of Higgins. I mean, it's

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:11.760
<v Speaker 10>a profoundly important seat in this country to former prime ministers,

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:16.960
<v Speaker 10>a treasurer for goodness sake, and they've ignored natural boundaries,

0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 10>et cetera. So I've now been moved into the seat

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:20.360
<v Speaker 10>of Adam Bant.

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 8>So I'm sorry.

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I know, I know. It's just shocking. So I

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:27.800
<v Speaker 10>don't think that was a good decision. But yes, Labor

0:38:27.840 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 10>get so they lose Higgins, but they gain Bullwinkle. North Sydney,

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 10>New South Wales is still yet to be determined, but

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:36.640
<v Speaker 10>it looks as if that'll go. Theoretically, Labor gained one

0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 10>in West Australia mate Bullwinkle with a three percent march,

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 10>but they're not going to win that seat because there

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:42.880
<v Speaker 10>was a ten and a half percent swing against the

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 10>Morrison governor in Western Australia in the twenty twenty two election.

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 10>And when you get a massive swing like ten and

0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:51.480
<v Speaker 10>a half, which is right at the extremity of general

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 10>election swings in a state, it comes back hard the

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 10>other way. So it's going to come back a lot

0:38:56.520 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 10>more than three percent. So Bullwinker will be lost. Labor

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:04.480
<v Speaker 10>to the coalition a notionally it's theirs, but not for long.

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Well we'll I wait and see here, Kristin. Well, of course,

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.440
<v Speaker 2>know that Bill shouldn't pulled the pin today. And goodness me,

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:12.640
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the media sad that they were losing a mate.

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Good They rolled out the red carpet as if he

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 2>was the Prime minister in twenty nineteen, as if he

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 2>was somebody who wasn't rejected twice by the Australian people.

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:25.680
<v Speaker 2>But surprise, surprise, when we have our history books, we

0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:29.360
<v Speaker 2>only learn about the dismissal, not the subsequent two elections

0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:32.360
<v Speaker 2>after that when the Australian people are underlined the decisions

0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:35.319
<v Speaker 2>that were made back then. This is him talking about

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:36.800
<v Speaker 2>his own achievements. Have a look.

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.839
<v Speaker 3>What we did three weeks ago in the Parliament has

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:44.680
<v Speaker 3>meant that we will be able to set this on

0:39:44.719 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 3>a direction where the scheme will be true to its

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 3>original purpose, where the shanks and frauds are evicted and

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:55.240
<v Speaker 3>we'll start focusing on outcomes for people. And I'm absolutely

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 3>positive about the bright horizon for the NDIS. I've had

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 3>the very very very privileged position to lead Labor. I've

0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:09.240
<v Speaker 3>had the chance to help the victims of robo debt.

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:11.920
<v Speaker 2>The victims of robo debt. Now, yes, of course there

0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 2>was a Royal commission into that, but remember the scheme

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.440
<v Speaker 2>had already been shut down and the people had been compensated.

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 2>But this was all, of course part of that strategy

0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:20.879
<v Speaker 2>of the first year of Look how terrible everything used

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 2>to be, Kristen, could you care less.

0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:29.240
<v Speaker 8>Look if Bill Shorten, if I had to choose between

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:33.160
<v Speaker 8>Bill Shorton and Albo as Prime Minister, I would choose

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:36.719
<v Speaker 8>a Bill Shorten because Albo doesn't know his arm from

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:42.920
<v Speaker 8>his albow. But in terms of what's going on, with

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 8>Bill Shorton and kept taking a job with the university

0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:47.680
<v Speaker 8>at the moment. Can we stop to think that we're

0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:51.480
<v Speaker 8>talking about legislation at the moment with universities and foreign

0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 8>students and all of that kind of stuff. He has

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.960
<v Speaker 8>said that he's going to go and work for this university,

0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 8>and yet he's going to stay on until the election.

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:03.920
<v Speaker 8>And I think he should resign immediately and call for

0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 8>a by election if we're not going to have an

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:10.000
<v Speaker 8>election until May, because surely there's some kind of conflict

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.920
<v Speaker 8>of interest here and the people of Marrabanong in Victoria

0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 8>deserve a MP that is in it and they're ready

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:20.960
<v Speaker 8>to go and work for their community now, not just

0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:23.439
<v Speaker 8>kind of suckling on the taxpayer dime.

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, I remember ripping into Bruce Bilson, who I very

0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 2>much liked when he was a small business minister, but

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 2>he essentially lined up a gig while he was on

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:34.520
<v Speaker 2>the way out. Well, clearly this is what's happened here.

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:37.400
<v Speaker 2>But again, Michael, and again I have to be very clear,

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:39.880
<v Speaker 2>because everyone's got a lawyer, and everyone's got people that

0:41:39.960 --> 0:41:41.839
<v Speaker 2>will do legal work for free if it's coming after

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.799
<v Speaker 2>people like me. But Jesus isn't it amazing that the

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:47.919
<v Speaker 2>chancellor of the university is the same person who Bill

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Shorten hired to be the co chair of the inquiry

0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:57.359
<v Speaker 2>into the andis who also used to be the head

0:41:57.400 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 2>of government departments when he was a ministe back in

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the rud Gillard rud days. And apparently there was a

0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:08.240
<v Speaker 2>universal support for him to get the job. But my goodness,

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:10.840
<v Speaker 2>what a tight little world it is in Canberra where

0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the person who you are going to end up working

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:15.600
<v Speaker 2>for chancellor vice chancellor is a person that you have

0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:18.239
<v Speaker 2>already brought in for a side gig, who used to

0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:21.280
<v Speaker 2>be somebody you knew from a previous government. What a world.

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 10>Just just a coincidence of all, one of those incredible

0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:30.480
<v Speaker 10>coincidences in life. Nothing to do at all with what

0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 10>you said, just you know, the rule that will landed

0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:38.320
<v Speaker 10>on Bill's number. Look, it is significant that he's leaving,

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 10>very significant because he's probably the last of the Bob

0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 10>Hawk labor members from Victoria, very much in the Hawk tradition,

0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:53.920
<v Speaker 10>center right, pro America, pro Israel, and Short would have

0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 10>been you know, we know, short and Short and would

0:42:57.239 --> 0:42:59.560
<v Speaker 10>have been tearing his hair out in those cabinet meetings

0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 10>in the court because meetings listen to this extreme left

0:43:02.560 --> 0:43:06.759
<v Speaker 10>gump coming from Albanesian Wong Short would have been disgusted

0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:09.400
<v Speaker 10>by what has been going on within the Labor Party,

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 10>and I'm sure that's one of the reasons he's said enough.

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:13.399
<v Speaker 10>I think he's worked out he's not going to become

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:16.880
<v Speaker 10>leader again. They'll go to the next generation after Albow

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:19.279
<v Speaker 10>gets hit by the political bus, and I think he's

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 10>realized they're not going to go back to him. He

0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:22.279
<v Speaker 10>had two games, he's not going to have a third

0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:24.359
<v Speaker 10>go and he doesn't want to sit there and listen

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:28.680
<v Speaker 10>to all this this disgraceful Middle Eastern policy coming out

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:30.879
<v Speaker 10>of the Labor Party, and I think he thinks Bob

0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:33.319
<v Speaker 10>Hawk could be disgusted. I'm disgusted. I'm out of here.

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.359
<v Speaker 10>And he's got a good job. As you said, by

0:43:36.400 --> 0:43:38.400
<v Speaker 10>that freak of coincidence.

0:43:38.400 --> 0:43:40.200
<v Speaker 8>Mate, he's told me that you don't think the next

0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:42.960
<v Speaker 8>generation is going to be Jim Chalmers.

0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 10>Michael, please tell me, well, I don't think it'll be

0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:48.480
<v Speaker 10>Jim because Jim's a plotter. I mean, Jim thinks he's

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:53.439
<v Speaker 10>pale phase Adios. He thinks he's Hondo Gratton. Okay, good,

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:56.480
<v Speaker 10>to know and to mix racing codes. You wouldn't back

0:43:56.520 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 10>him in a barren beat jumpers flat maiden jumpers flat.

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:01.040
<v Speaker 8>So elegant.

0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I love it. I love it, by the.

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:04.880
<v Speaker 10>Way, just quick for forty eight. This is forty eight.

0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:09.640
<v Speaker 2>So Labour at the last election it got forty two

0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:12.240
<v Speaker 2>percent in the seat that he won in a winning

0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:16.200
<v Speaker 2>like sixty forty after preferences forty two percent primary Greens

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:20.040
<v Speaker 2>was sixteen percent primary Libs twenty seven. It'd be a

0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:22.560
<v Speaker 2>by election and we know that the Libs are the

0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Greens are particularly charging at the moment on rent. Is

0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 2>there any chance Labor could lose that seat, Michael.

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:34.200
<v Speaker 10>Zero because the Liberal Party, under no circumstances, would be

0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:36.480
<v Speaker 10>preferencing the Greens. Good. Now, there was a time of

0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:40.240
<v Speaker 10>years ago when the Greens under Dina Tali were becoming

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:43.759
<v Speaker 10>a bit more sensible on foreign policy. But this mob

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:48.160
<v Speaker 10>extreme and the Liberal Party will preference the Labor Party

0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:50.479
<v Speaker 10>ahead of the Greens, who I hope the Liberal Party

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:53.400
<v Speaker 10>will put last in every seat in this country because

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:57.560
<v Speaker 10>of their disgraceful move to the Marxist left. So no

0:44:57.560 --> 0:44:59.160
<v Speaker 10>no chance, Laborers that said.

0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Good good to hear right? Quick break back we're more

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:02.719
<v Speaker 2>ple need to talk about No Sooks, No Lefties tonight

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:04.799
<v Speaker 2>when there's the losers of the week and they look

0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:07.520
<v Speaker 2>forward towards next week's debate between Trump and Harris. More

0:45:07.520 --> 0:45:13.560
<v Speaker 2>in a sec thank you very much for watching No Soooks,

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:15.839
<v Speaker 2>No Lefties tonight late debate about eight minutes away from now.

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Christin Abram, the wonderful libertarian is here with the wonderful

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:21.200
<v Speaker 2>liberal otherwise knows Michael Kroger. See, I still love you both.

0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:24.000
<v Speaker 2>So next week we're going to be talking at this

0:45:24.080 --> 0:45:26.919
<v Speaker 2>point in time about the reaction to the most likely

0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:30.320
<v Speaker 2>one and only debate between Trump and Harris. The rules

0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:34.160
<v Speaker 2>have only been signed off on today, where yes, the

0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 2>microphones will still be cut off. And more importantly and

0:45:36.600 --> 0:45:39.719
<v Speaker 2>most importantly, and Harris was really fighting for this, there

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.440
<v Speaker 2>will be no notes, so we will literally have to

0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:46.960
<v Speaker 2>watch word salads being prepared before our very eyes. Michael,

0:45:47.040 --> 0:45:49.800
<v Speaker 2>your sense of what happens. We know the media is

0:45:50.080 --> 0:45:53.200
<v Speaker 2>going to go into it pre cocked to say nothing

0:45:53.200 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 2>to see here with her look at how evil Donald

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Trump is. But do you think there is the genuine

0:45:57.520 --> 0:46:01.000
<v Speaker 2>potential of a moment that forces them to see what

0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 2>really happened? Like they did with.

0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:08.880
<v Speaker 10>Bud Look, anything can happen. But I fear that the CNN,

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:14.840
<v Speaker 10>MSNBC Democratic left machine in America. I've never said anything

0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:17.000
<v Speaker 10>like this. By the way, this election is totally bizarre.

0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:19.799
<v Speaker 10>A're all going to no matter how badly she does,

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:24.439
<v Speaker 10>they're going to say she was absolutely fantastic, she won

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:26.600
<v Speaker 10>that debate, she was good on policy, was this that

0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:29.360
<v Speaker 10>Trump was terrible. They're going to declare her the winner

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:33.120
<v Speaker 10>no matter what happens. Their whole strategy is working brilliantly.

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:38.719
<v Speaker 10>No interviews, give speeches, blah blah blah, because as we know,

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 10>the American public don't know anything about Kamala Harris. We

0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:46.280
<v Speaker 10>do here on sky Fox does, but the American public

0:46:46.360 --> 0:46:48.799
<v Speaker 10>just thinks she's itself. She's vice president, she's a woman

0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:52.160
<v Speaker 10>of color. She seems bright and breezy and new. And

0:46:52.200 --> 0:46:54.359
<v Speaker 10>that coach guy, her number two, he seems all right.

0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:58.160
<v Speaker 10>These people seem okay. They have no idea that she

0:46:58.200 --> 0:47:02.319
<v Speaker 10>would be absolutely hopeless as president, the worst president we've seen.

0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:05.440
<v Speaker 10>Probably she'll she'll be worse than Jimmy Carter if he wins,

0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:08.440
<v Speaker 10>because she has no idea. If you haven't seen that

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:12.480
<v Speaker 10>clip of her being asked about inflation. No, yeah, which

0:47:12.520 --> 0:47:15.560
<v Speaker 10>is oh my goodness, so mate. No, they will declare

0:47:15.600 --> 0:47:18.360
<v Speaker 10>her the winner and say it's a magnificent day for

0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:20.799
<v Speaker 10>the Democrats. She's come through it unscathed and in fact,

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 10>not only unscathed, she won the debate. That's what they're

0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 10>going to say.

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:26.520
<v Speaker 2>So, Kristen, should Trump go into it and be moggaedon

0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:29.680
<v Speaker 2>and basically just by not giving them the thing to say,

0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:31.520
<v Speaker 2>look how he screwed up, and they're just going to

0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:33.640
<v Speaker 2>say she's presidential by the end of the week, We've

0:47:33.680 --> 0:47:36.000
<v Speaker 2>changed the subject and we're talking about something else. Or

0:47:36.680 --> 0:47:41.000
<v Speaker 2>should he poke the bear and expose what's really going on?

0:47:43.160 --> 0:47:46.320
<v Speaker 8>See like you said before about her word salad, I

0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:49.480
<v Speaker 8>think she's going to word salad through the whole debate,

0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 8>But if I'm excited to watch it, because I don't

0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:55.000
<v Speaker 8>think either of them are going to perform really well.

0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:58.560
<v Speaker 8>But the problem with Trump is Trump, if he's not careful,

0:47:58.560 --> 0:48:01.799
<v Speaker 8>we'll come across like a bully, like a misogynist, and

0:48:01.840 --> 0:48:04.799
<v Speaker 8>he's going to get framed in that light. And the

0:48:04.800 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 8>best way he should approach it is being really calm,

0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:09.880
<v Speaker 8>cool and collected, and the angle that he needs to

0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:13.279
<v Speaker 8>go for which sadly, if we go to World War three,

0:48:13.800 --> 0:48:17.120
<v Speaker 8>who do you want running the free world? Really? And

0:48:17.440 --> 0:48:19.640
<v Speaker 8>because when you look at them, you go who exerts

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:22.399
<v Speaker 8>more confidence? Who wants to Who do you want running

0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:24.880
<v Speaker 8>the country? So I don't think either of them are

0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 8>going to perform well. If Trump can hold his tongue

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:31.560
<v Speaker 8>in an elegant manner, then maybe he could come out,

0:48:31.920 --> 0:48:33.759
<v Speaker 8>you know, relatively unscathed.

0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:38.480
<v Speaker 2>And certainly I think that the mike muting works for

0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:41.359
<v Speaker 2>him because it forces discipline upon him, and the more

0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:43.200
<v Speaker 2>disciplined is the better he does. Thank you, guys, do

0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:45.440
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend wherever you happen to be.

0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about how you winners and losers are on

0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:50.280
<v Speaker 2>social media. In the meantime, Thank you very much for watching.

0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:53.319
<v Speaker 2>A reminder, if you've got time this weekend, please clean

0:48:53.400 --> 0:48:55.160
<v Speaker 2>up the house because it's going to be a warm spring.

0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:57.160
<v Speaker 2>We know where we're heading when it comes to summer.

0:48:57.360 --> 0:48:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Good luck to your team this weekend if they're in

0:48:59.080 --> 0:49:01.880
