WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 3 December 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.800 Lately, gentle man, welcome the late base. 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:07.840 Well, thanks for joining us. 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.239 I'm James Macpherson with Liz Staurer and Caleb Bond coming up. 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.840 Remember as a kid, those nesle quality street chocolates, the 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.160 big tins he used to get. I'm going to show 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:20.279 you a little later how those tins have shrunk over 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.720 the past forty years. If you're not a believer in 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.280 shrink flation, trust me, by the end of the program 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.560 you'll be a believer. Plus, when we look at what's 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.200 making news tomorrow, the Herald Sun has a front page 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.280 update on that murderer who's being released from maximum security 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.040 to get IVF treatment. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:38.880 There's been the development in that story. 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.879 We'll have that, plus the Australian newspaper on how Catholic 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.320 schools are topping the napland results. 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:46.839 I wonder why. 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.400 All of that when we look at tomorrow's papers. But 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.040 first we've got to start with this extraordinary story, and 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.520 I promise you we are not making this up. A 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:59.600 Canadian town has been fined ten thousand dollars for refusing 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.840 to celebrate Pride Month, and the town's councilors who voted 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:09.479 against Pride Month have been ordered to undergo human rights training. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.160 The saga began when a gay rights group asked the 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.920 EMO council, that's the name of the town, not a 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.280 descriptive of the council. They asked the EMO Council in 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.479 Ontario to proclaim June as Pride Month and to fly 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.080 a Pride flag. 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.679 Now, they asked the council to agree that. 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:34.240 Sexual orientations and diverse gender identities should be celebrated. Well, 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:39.280 the council voted three to two against the motion. The mayor, 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.080 during the break observed that flags aren't flown for straight people, 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.280 so he didn't see why they should be flown for 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.680 gay people. Well, the gay rights group took exception to 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.360 this and went straight to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.320 and get this, It resulted in a five day hearing, 0:01:58.920 --> 0:01:59.360 paid for. 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.320 Of course, by taxpayers. Here's the result of the hearing. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.120 In the decision handed down last week, the Human Rights 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.519 Tribunal of Ontario ruled that EMO, its mayor, and two 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.720 of its counselors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.640 by refusing to proclaim June as Pride Month. The town 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:23.519 was also cited for failing to fly an LGBTQ two. 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.360 The two stands for two spirited rainbow flag, despite the 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.520 fact they didn't have an official flagpole. Now, as I said, 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.239 the council was fined ten thousand dollars. That money went 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.320 to the Pride Group. The mayor was personally fined five 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.840 thousand dollars also sent to the Pride Group, and those 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.400 who voted against Pride Month were ordered to undergo human 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.240 rights training and to provide written proof that they had 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.600 done the training within thirty days to the Pride Group. Now, 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.080 this thing has got problems everywhere, but just off the 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.760 top of my head, firstly, calaber list, no one has 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:04.680 the right to be celebrated. You might celebrate yourself, but 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.880 you don't have the right to demand I or anyone 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:11.320 else celebrates you. In fact, to demand that I celebrate 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.880 you is to overrule my rights of free speech, free thought, 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.560 my right of conscience. Beyond that, when you are forcing 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:26.480 people to celebrate you, you're not creating acceptance, you're creating animosity. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.760 There may well be celebration, but it'll be through gritted teeth, 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:35.000 and that certainly doesn't help your cause. But tempting as 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.200 it is, to get really upset at the gay rights group, 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.240 in this instance and the activists, I think the real 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.480 blame lies with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.600 It's almost a given now that any. 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.120 Organization that has human rights in the title won't be 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.360 upholding human rights, they'll be violating them, and Caleb, that's 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.480 exactly what they've done in this instance. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:57.680 It's just obscene. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.800 I don't think I can even describe how obscene this 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.680 decision is, because if we're talking met human rights here, 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.880 surely freedom is a fundamental human right as well, and 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.440 so a counsel ought to have the freedom to decide 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.680 what flags it wants to put up the flagpole that 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.799 doesn't exist, by the way, and what months it chooses 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:18.880 it's going to celebrate. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.120 And if it says, oh, well, we don't particularly think. 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.640 That in our town of one three hundred people, it's 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.240 going to make too much of a difference if we 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.800 celebrate Pride month or. 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.360 Not, who cares. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.560 I mean, this is what happens when the long arm 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.720 of the law is allowed to tell us what we 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.960 can and cannot say. I mean, this is veering into 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.240 thought crime territory really, because it wasn't only that they 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.520 didn't have the month decreed as Pride month. It was 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.920 that they had, as you pointed out, even dared to say, well, 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.920 we don't do this for other people, therefore we're not 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.200 going to do it for this group of people. If 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.200 you think that they're going to start coming after you 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.520 and the law is going to be used to do it. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.480 This is in Canada, but you'd be stupid to think 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.200 that this is not going to hit the shores of 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:12.520 Australia and every other Western nation very soon. If these groups, 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.039 these boards, these human rights commissions are willing to hold 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.320 a gun to your head and charge you money for 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:20.280 not doing. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.440 What activists tell you to do, it is insane. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:29.320 And the group, this Borderland Bride group, their militants over 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.000 this cannot be overstated. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:32.840 Check out this. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:37.360 Quote from Borderland Pride director Douglas Judson. He said, as 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.760 a lawyer who does this work, that means I'm going 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.640 to start taking people's houses and their vehicles and their 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:48.040 toys and draining their bank accounts and garnishing their wages 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.479 because no one is going to stop behaving this way. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.240 Until there were real consequences. 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.880 Oh yeah, well, I can't understand why everyone wouldn't just 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.320 be rolling over to keep you happy mate. These guys 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:05.440 once they won the case fifteen thousand dollars in total, 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.720 they said to this, council will donate a third of 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.400 our award to the public library if you guys agree 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.400 to host a drag Queen's story time at a date 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.280 of our choosing. Now the Council, it would appear, has 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.839 said no to this point. They're not desperate for a 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.480 handout for the people who have effectively sued them you 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.679 using the Commission, but now this them then being sent 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:38.560 off to the Commission's own retraining education camp for human 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.120 rights one oh one. As someone who has a master's 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.880 degree in human rights, I'd love to attend this course because, 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.039 as Matt just said, it's not a human right that 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.040 you must be celebrated for all your life choices, especially 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.680 by people who haven't made those same life choices and 0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.600 just want to be left alone to live their own lives. 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.880 Check this out quote out from the training manual. It says, 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.480 it doesn't matter if you didn't intend or mean to discriminate, 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.600 it's the impact on the person that matters. Oh well, okay, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.800 well they're just all hostages. Then to the feelings of 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:22.560 anyone who decides I've been discriminated against, but spare a 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:23.640 thought for Canada. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.080 This has been going on for thirty years. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.720 Back in nineteen ninety five, Hamilton Mayor was fined five 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.000 thousand dollars for refusing to proclaim Pride week remember when 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:39.160 it was just a week. Back In also nineteen ninety five, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.200 London Ontarigo fined ten thousand dollars for refusing to officially 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:50.560 recognize Pride weekend. It it goes to show this has 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.160 been happening for a very long time. And this particular 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.240 lobby group, Borderland Pride, this is the second time in 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:01.920 four months they've won a five FI award. The last 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.360 time was thirty five grand out of some blow you'd 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.240 gone online. It was his own Facebook account and tweeted, well, 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.360 not tweeted. Facebook posted something to the effect of quote 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.760 not quote yet No. He was saying that Borderland Prides 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:23.440 all ages, drag Queen show was a quote pedophile show. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.240 End quote. Now that's an opinion. People are jumping online 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.160 sharing their opinions. This guy had cost him thirty five 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:37.240 thousand dollars. That's how militant they are in Canada. And 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.320 it does make you wonder because we have plenty of 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.480 councils here who do all these kinds of things. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:43.560 Corporates as well. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.240 They fly the flag you name it, Waverley Council, I 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.000 believe it is. I remember attending one of their ends 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:56.280 a day parades and they had painted around their entire 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.800 building like the road is a rainbow, just to. 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.240 Get the council chambers. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.079 I thought, Wow, these these guys are going full hog. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.839 But it makes you wonder how many of them are 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:12.760 doing this kind of thing just to avoid somebody like 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.840 this lobby group here in Australia approaching the Human Rights 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.719 Commission and getting them done similarly? 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.520 Well, I mean, how many of us, when I say us, 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.640 I'm in the Royal US censor our own speech every 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.960 day so we don't have get in trouble from someone 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.640 or some organization or its life in our community. And 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.679 God bless emo counsel for having the courage of their 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.200 convictions and saying no, we're. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.800 Not doing this, and that's consequence. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:38.720 That's the point. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.640 I mean, this is a warning shot to everyone else, right, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.520 because sure a council can afford to stump up the 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.840 ten grand, and the me can probably afford the five 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.640 grand that's put upon them. But a lot of people 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.040 the right pay well, exactly exactly the right pay is 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.960 you know, an average person, if you were told you 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.720 had to hand over ten grand because you'd committed some 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.000 sort of you know, thought crime like that, a lot 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.320 of people, most people wouldn't have ten grand in the 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.400 bank to be able to pay that. That is the 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.559 point they are trying to call you into silence. The 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.440 game mafia in this case is trying to call you 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.320 into silence. To a similarly crazy story, this time a 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.400 little further south into the United States, There's been a 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.920 bit of a hullabaloo going on in the US in 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.839 a particular volleyball league because one team has tried to 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.839 get a transgender player to join their team, and other 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.520 teams in response have said, well, no, we're not going 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.400 to sign up and play anymore. They're boycotting against the 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.880 San Jose University because of course they're trying to get 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.320 a biological mail to play against women. His a little 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.400 explanation from Fox News. 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.800 Boise State University women's volleyball team announcing it will forfeit 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.600 it's semifinal match in the Mountain West Tournament against San 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.720 Jose State University Boise State, saying quote, they should not 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.680 have to forego this opportunity while waiting for a more 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.600 thoughtful and better system that serves all athletes. San Jose 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.160 State come under fire for allowing a biological male to 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.760 compete on their women's volleyball team. We spoke to a 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.120 competing volleyball team captain from the same conference as San 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.640 Jose stee about the choice teams are facing. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.720 They're faced with something really hard. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.480 There's a lot of stakes now. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.520 Forfeiting during the conference season is one thing, but now 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.680 the sticks are much higher now. 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.160 As you heard there. It has caused a lot of 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.120 travel within the league. Has also caused a lot of 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.400 trouble within their own team. There are players who are 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.280 now refusing to go on the court. They're even suing 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.400 their own team for the decision to include a transgender 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.480 woman a biological male in the team. So The New 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.040 York Times wrote an article going into the back room 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.000 turmoil within the team that's been going on since this 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.400 decision was made. And get this, why would you use 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.080 one word when you could use three? The New York 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.960 Times published an article on the current controversy sweeping through 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.839 the women's college volleyball after multiple teams forfeited games against 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.640 San Jose State University and transgender player Blair Fleming. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.880 In the article, the outlet used the. 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:16.800 Term non transgender women to refer to biological females when 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.520 discussing the varying levels of testosterone. 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.840 Yes, there's a word. I'm trying to think, what is a. 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:25.839 Woman? 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:31.800 Woman? That's what it is, But they use non transgender woman. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.880 I mean, seriously, Freddie Mercury, take it away. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:44.079 I'm girling slightly, man and going slightly. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.320 I mean, the world has truly lost the plot. We 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.240 all know what a non transgender woman is. It's a woman, 0:12:55.760 --> 0:13:00.559 for heaven's sake. Why can't you just say woman? And 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:05.959 I was going to say natural rattleover. Martina navrattlover, of course, 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.720 famous female tennis player, hit out at this on X, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:10.840 saying New York. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.800 Times, you stink. We are women. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.840 We are not transgender women, just women will do in 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.120 the future. Another account on X Women Are Real pointed 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.559 out the ridiculousness of this. Hey, in New York Times, 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.679 don't call us non transgender women. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:26.920 Just stop it. 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:32.040 Stop all the offensive terms for us, such as birthing parent, uterus, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:37.720 ha menstrue waiter, my personal favorite vaginal presenting, whatever the 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.760 hell that is. Apparently from the Olympus spa hearing we 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.280 are women, I mean we have well and true well 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.080 not we not here on the late debate, but some 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.840 people have well and truly jumped the shark if some 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.680 journalists just sitting there and genuinely thinks non transgender woman 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.600 is an app description for a woman. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.480 Later on in the article, this same journo uses the 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:06.400 term athlete to signed female at birth. Once again, the 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.080 words you're looking for is women. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:10.600 Those are women. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.440 That's why they were assigned female at birth. They have 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:18.560 all the equipment of a war men. But you've got 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:23.720 a feel for these volleyball players because while they're suing 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.640 their own team and on that it's a bit of 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.960 a class action type thing because groups volleyball teams that 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.800 would be versing the Spartans that is the name of 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.240 the team who are trying to include this transgender player 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:44.320 are also joining this lawsuit saying well, were at risk 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.720 as well. This is very much a risk to our 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.720 well being and certainly could stand. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.120 To set us back in the state's ranking. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.480 Because if you guys win, while you've got a biological man, 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.480 blang for you, how is that fair? All I think 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:05.720 they really should be suing is their National Collegiate Athletic Association, 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.640 which of course is the body in the United States 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.680 of America that oversees all of this, and their website 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.640 says trends volleyball players can play if their testosterone is 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:22.480 less than ten nanimals per liter, which is four times 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:28.120 more than the average females levels of testosterone, and the 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:33.600 experts tell us, actually, ten animals per liter is very 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:38.680 average for the everyday guy walking around. So basically, a 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:43.040 biological male who's made no effort whatsoever to chip down 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.520 on their testosterone levels, they're okay to play in the 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:52.040 volleyball leagues. It's perfectly fine. These women are being told 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.040 to give up their safe spaces because this means they're 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.600 in the locker rooms, they're in the showers, they're in all. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:58.120 The rest of it. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.080 We have to give up our work, our sports, all 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.960 the rest of it. Someone tried to convince me that 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.280 this shouldn't just be called the misogyny movement because all 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.920 it involves when it's and I'm sick of using the 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.800 term trans women as well, because as far as I'm concerned, 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.960 you're not any kind of woman. Okay, I would know 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.040 what it is to be a woman, what it means 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:20.720 to be a woman. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.040 You do not and will never. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.840 You can dress up all you like, doesn't make your women, 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.840 and to insinuate otherwise is just so unbelievably insulting. But 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:36.160 to come after our sports, our safeguards, our words, our rights, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.320 and us being forced by sporting bodies like this, who 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.680 should know better to relinquish those basic rights. 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.160 It's a misogyny movement, that's it. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.440 I'm done that The New York Times would just casually 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.880 insert this term non trans women, as if you know 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.280 that's a thing. Shows you just how far this movement 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.160 has gone and how low our culture has sunk. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.480 But it's actually quite logical. 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.919 I feel it when you say, why don't they just 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.199 use the word woman? But of course, and I know 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.520 you know this, they can't use the word woman because 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.560 if you have transgendered women being compared with that. 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.720 We've got to stop using the term. It's like my 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:18.760 partolgical men. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.080 If you have transgendered women as compared to the testosterone 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.720 levels of women, well, implicit in that is that transgendered 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.520 women aren't actually women. 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.320 Therefore you can't have women. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.879 You can only have trans women or non trans women, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.040 and so women have now become. 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.000 A subset of a class that used to. 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.359 Be their own, or to put it another way, in 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:44.359 order to reclassify themselves, men have declassified women completely. But 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.600 the transgendered movement relies on obfiscation. 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.199 They can't tell the truth. 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.040 They have to manipulate and mangle language because otherwise it 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.200 becomes plain that they're talking about someone who is other 0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:00.920 than a woman. Even the polite term cisgendered women. It's 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:06.040 grossly consulting, because wherever you have to qualify what kind 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.920 of woman this is, you are now implying that men 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:10.919 can be women. 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.760 So there's just women. And I agree with you. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.960 Even the term transgendered woman is in itself a lie. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.720 And we all perpetuate these lies. 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.680 Because of fear or because of a well intentioned desire 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:27.119 to be kind. But it's not kindness to end up 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.720 with the result that you so eloquently described, where you've 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.320 got women being raised, you've got unsafe spaces, you've got 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.520 sports being completely bastardized. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:36.880 You've got all of. 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:41.160 This happening in the name of kindness and inclusion. It's 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.040 just wrong and it's just lies. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.680 Here here to a different kind of madness. And back 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:47.480 to Australia. 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.400 The Commonwealth Bank has sent an email out to anyone 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:56.320 holding a complete access account saying, look, we've decided these 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.439 accounts no longer exist, so we're moving you over to 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:01.680 a smart access account. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:01.880 Now. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.080 I hope everyone read the fine print. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.840 In this email because they would have discovered had they 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.360 read on, that it's going to cost them from January 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:16.600 sixth next year three bucks to withdraw their own money. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.359 Should they go to a bank branch, a. 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.760 Post office or try and make a withdrawal over the phone? 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.440 Three bucks up? Pop? 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.000 What the heck is that covering admin costs? Does it 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.879 really cost three minutes for someone to just grab the cash, 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.240 which they're employed to do already and hand it over 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:39.480 the counter. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:41.960 Now, the Commonwealth Bank wants. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.720 You to know that as long as you keep using 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:45.840 their ATMs it's free. 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.399 You can still withdraw for free. 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.560 But we all know this is another spoke in the 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.640 wheel of making it harder and harder to use cash 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.480 here in Australia. Because one of the Commonwealth Bank says, ah, 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.000 don't worry. They just use a Commonwealth Bank ATM and 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:04.840 your withdrawal is still free. 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.600 They've closed over. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.320 Fifty four percent of their ATMs over the last five years. 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.359 They've closed more than. 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:18.320 Three hundred and fifty branches over the last five years. 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.680 So while they try and make it sound like, oh, 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:25.440 this actually isn't too bad, it's an absolute you know 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:26.240 what show? 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:31.560 Where do these banks get off? Everyone already pays banking fees. 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.680 Most of us don't know where that goes either, because 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.600 they get to play with our money for as long 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.920 as it's in our accounts. That little figure on your 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.840 screen when you log into your bank account ain't just 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:44.160 sitting there waiting for you. 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:45.560 They do stuff. 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.520 They make the most of the money that you've invested 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.320 with them while they've got it. 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:53.320 So here they are making. 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.800 The most of us choosing them as a bank, while 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.120 flogging their own people who have chosen common Wealth Bank. 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.640 It does my head in and no wonder. 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:09.199 This is rightly released a massive backlash of thousands of 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.600 Australians saying we're just going to change banks then, because 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.160 you flogs can go jump. 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:16.160 It's certainly right. 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:17.879 I just want to know what would happen if you 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.680 go to your local Commonwealth bank and you say to 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:22.920 the teller, because you're down to your last three bucks, right, 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:28.119 so I'd like to withdraw my three dollars please, and 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:29.639 she would just look at you and smile and say, 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.240 there you go, and that. 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.760 Would slip from give you an eye. 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.439 Commonwealth Bank just announced LUs. I mean the timing of 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:40.480 this is brilliant, right they announced today we're going to 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.840 charge you to get your own money. But less than 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.400 four weeks ago they announced a two point five billion 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:50.640 dollar first quarter profit. So it's not like they're doing 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.119 it tough. I mean two point five billion that's not 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.760 financial year, that's the first quarter. And now they're going 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:58.320 to sting you to get your own money. 0:21:58.400 --> 0:21:59.040 The problem with. 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:03.280 This is that when you got paid in days gone by, 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:05.199 you get it in a little envelope and then you 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.400 could decide to put it under your pillow if you're Italian, 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:09.160 or you know, if you put it in the bank, 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:10.480 if that's what you wanted to do or whatever. 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.640
