WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 23 January

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Thanks calub,

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Happy Thursday, come on into the mar Cave.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 2>So much to get to tonight, including the triumphant return

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>of Megan Kelly, big time part of the inauguration in DC,

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:18.280
<v Speaker 2>which has got more to say and it's not all

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:18.799
<v Speaker 2>about Trump.

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I promise it's a good one tonight. You're going to

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>love what she has to say.

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.479
<v Speaker 2>She's made news in Australia the past twenty four hours

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 2>about some of her views. We will double down a

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 2>little bit later disgraceful stuff from grim Jim today. Wait

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>till you hear the gas lighting, the Jedi mind trick,

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the lies and the bs that this bloke is throwing

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>around about cost of living. And of course our focus,

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 2>as always ahead of a wonderful weekend, is Australia Day,

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and I want to go around the country and tell

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you a little more about each of the different states

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and the people there, put forward as the best of them,

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>as the different versions of the Australian of the year,

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>and my tip as to who I think will end

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 2>up getting the big gonge.

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>But first, you know I love Queensland.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Any opportunity to be there, I am any opportunity to

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 2>have the blood transfusions to become a Queensland I would,

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>But in.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Mind, body and spirit, I am somebody who loves Queensland.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>We've done plenty of shows and I think the passion

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>is obvious and we know that over recent years there's

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>been some horrific things that the former government did, but

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.559
<v Speaker 2>one thing that absolutely Miles and Palachet decided to double

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>down on was to move towards more renewables as fast

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>as possible. Some of their clean energy targets were some

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 2>of the most aggressive in the country and despite the

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 2>fact that it had all of the consequences to the countryside,

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>all of the consequences to regional areas, they were so

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>up themselves that they said this about things like wind

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 2>farms replacing trees.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Turn around and look up. These are huge and honestly,

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 3>I think we should have viewing platforms for families to

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 3>come out here and actually see.

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Why in their own backyard.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>It is extraordinary. It is absolutely extraordinary.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Thankfully she's in the Review Mirror, as is Stephen Miles

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>and the government. I mentioned them at the start of

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the show when they're not in government because it's been

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>bloody hot in Queensland today. I think Birdsville was the

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 2>best part of forty something degrees.

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>The further inland, the hotter it went. But from the.

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Sunny coast to Canns and Townsville and down to the GC,

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>very hot, very hot weekend coming ahead. And I often

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>remark upon what all of us had an expectation of

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>in the twenty first century. Remember all those TV shows

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>beyond two thousand and all the rest of it about

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, flying cars and holograms and stuff that we

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 2>knew that wouldn't happen.

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>But it was going to be this wonderful, magical age.

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>And let's be honest, we do have devices in our

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 2>hand that mean we can have video calls to anywhere

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.679
<v Speaker 2>in the world, and the collective knowledge of the world

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>is in our pocket. But there are bizarre things that

0:02:55.560 --> 0:03:01.279
<v Speaker 2>supposedly are about a better future that create ridiculous situations

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 2>about our current. Now, apparently we'll get warmer in Queensland

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>over the next couple of days. Please play it safe,

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Please stay inside for as long as possible. You don't

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>need me to to the out of play at Queensland summer.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>But unbelievably, these are the extent that the public service

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>goes to to try to save power so the lights

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>don't go out, the fans keep spinning, and the air

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>conditioners keep working. In Queensland, the Brisbane Times today found

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a memo. This is a memo that was sent to

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.239
<v Speaker 2>all public service offices in Queensland.

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>We are a.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Quarter of the way through the twenty first century. This

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>is the place that will host the Olympic Games after

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles in twenty thirty two.

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a place that is absolutely roaring ahead.

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 4>But how backwards is this garbage as a result of

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 4>idiots like Miles and Palichet spinning way too much money

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 4>on building too many renewable projects when the energy system

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 4>that they were replacing has not been replaced.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>This memo is what was put out.

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>It was told about today and tomorrow about the sorts

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>of things that people in public service officers need to

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>do to save energy to make sure the rest of

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.679
<v Speaker 2>the state can keep the fans and the air conditioners going.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Between six am six pm the following changes. Close all

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>blinds and curtains to minimize the heat. Turn off second

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>computer screens, run laptops and tablets on battery mode. Turn

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 2>everything off in the office except one printer. Turn off

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>as many lights as you possibly can, and defer bringing

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>any activities that use a high amount of electricity.

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Put simply laminating printing. Do that all next week.

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>This is the backwoods garbage that people are being told,

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>and this is how state Go moments try to save

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the energy so you don't notice the energy system they're

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>put in place.

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>There's more of this. You should have.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Only one lift, one lift for the whole day. So

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 2>have you got your in an office block? You've got

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>a few lifts? No, no, no, no, save the power, so

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the fans keep working in Redcliff, alter off of space

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 2>air conditioning in the settings, to shut down at halp

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>us five not six o'clock, and turn off as many

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>lights as possible.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.279
<v Speaker 1>This is the garbage.

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>That they tell themselves and they practice themselves to prop

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>up an energy system.

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>That they say is so much better. As I've said a.

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Million times before, regardless of you views on climate change

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>or even renewable energy, you can't win bathist in a

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>car that's got three wheels on it. But these people

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>want to tell us, oh, three wheels is better, and

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 2>three wheels will do arder than sixty one laps faster

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 2>and better than anyone. Just these are not the droids

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you look look for rubbish. It's on top of garbage.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>We've heard from governments for years.

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 5>What we want to see is if there is an

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 5>opportunity for people to reduce their energy usage, so perhaps

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 5>not using the dishwasher until you go to bed, that

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 5>would help, all.

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, As you know, Pole's worst possible start to the

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 2>year for the Prime minister. So I showed you last

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 2>night when they were breaking news. I've seen the conversation

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>happen all day. Good we were riding the rave at

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the right time. Here the preferred prime minister, Well, it's

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty clear now in New South Whils, in Queensland and

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Victoria it is Peter Dutton.

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not level pegging. In fact, it's now.

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Thirty nine thirty four in favor of the alternative prime minister,

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>not the current one. The Labour Party's primary vote, which

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>was thirty two and a bit percent, the lowest in

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 2>well a century, is now down to twenty seven. The

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Liberal Parties is up to thirty eight, close to that

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 2>magic forty that in any normal election would result in

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a change of government, and the Prime minister's performance again

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>an extreme majority of Australians now at fifty six So

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 2>the Prime Minister's performance in recent weeks.

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is the summer, the rebuild, the spending, all

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the rest of it.

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Right, as you can see there fifty six percent of people,

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>just thirteen percent of people undecided, and we all know

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>which way that's going to go. As we go deeper

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>into the year, things continue to get worse and we

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>start to head our way towards the election. This is despite,

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>of course, the fact the Prime Minister just magically tried

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>to tell us everything is better. As I often play

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>that Lego song, everything is awesome while the worst of

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>it's behind us. Don't worries stick with us, despite the

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>fact that, remember he promised to make it better when

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>he was the opposition leader. It was everything's cheaper under

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 2>a low cost of a cost of living will lower

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 2>under a Labor government. Well take your pick. It all

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>went up, it all went up, and it all went up.

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Through the roof. And the same opinion.

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Polls that produced this horror result for Labor and a

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>disastrous result for the Prime Minister, they give us an

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>indication about how people feel. Whether the worst of it

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>is over. In fact, plenty of people think it gets

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>worse from here. And even if things remain stable, they're

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>at a pretty bad level. How do you think your

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>income's going to go? Well, most people disagree that it

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 2>will get better. People think that inflation is going to

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>get better or worse. Well, I expect the inflation will

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>get worse fifty percent of people. Just seventeen percent of

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>people disagree the rest. So what the best part of

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty three percent of people? They say, where it is

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>now or worse? And what about Purple's personal income? I

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 2>expect my income will at the very least keep up

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>with inflation this year.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Forty six percent No, forty six percent No.

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 2>The only people who agree probably work for the public service,

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 2>where they're being told to draw the curtains because it's

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 2>too hot. That is why the Prime Minister is in

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 2>a world of trouble. Yet today, in response to polls

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>that show Australians do not believe things are getting better.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>They believe and know things have got worse under this

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.559
<v Speaker 2>mob who promised to make it better, Jim Chalmers was

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>confronted with these poles today on breakfast television, and he

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>had the balls to say everything will be worse under Dutton,

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 2>the bloke who has made it worse on his watch,

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>who has had just on maximum sympathy that you're having

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a tough time right now. Everything got worse, you name it,

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>you know it. Yet he claims that everything will be

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>even worse under Dutton.

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>This is ridiculous.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>This is like an arsonist trying to pretend that somebody

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 2>else is going to do a worse job because they've

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 2>got a new box of matches. Here's what he said today,

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>gas lighting, lying and bsing the good people of this

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 2>great country.

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 5>The same Australians who are concerned about the living would

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 5>be worse off under Peter Dutton.

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Sticker, Pal sticker, you said there was a cost of

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 2>living crisis when one interest rate rise happened just before

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the last federal election. There have been twelve twelve on

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>your watch, meaning that for the third of the country

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>that's paying off a house, almost likely half of the

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 2>country if they have an investment property as well, trying

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to pay off a house, has got twelve times worse,

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>twelve times worse.

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 1>On his watch.

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh but everything'll be worse under Dutton. Anyone who's been

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>to the supermarket last week, let alone last year or

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the year before or the year before. That knows what

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>has happened under this government. Anyone who's paid insurance for anything,

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 2>public liability, if you're a business or you're just trying

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 2>to ensure your boat, if someone in one of these

0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.199
<v Speaker 2>youth crime areas knocks it off, all of it costs

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 2>way too much. And petrol, which was a crisis under

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the previous government, that is now way higher than it

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>was under the previous government. Again, they think you are stupid,

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 2>or they think the majority of Australians are stupid, or

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the majority of Australians can somehow be gas lit that

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>it's all somebody else's fault. Now, I have ridden these

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>guys as hard as possible because they promised to make

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 2>it better. Everything that was cyclical was so personal in

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 2>the last election campaign. They lied to people, They lied

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 2>to people about their capacity to make their life better

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 2>when it has got worse, and they'll say, oh, it's

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>all cyclical, it's all to do with the Ukraine War,

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 2>or remember the pre loading last year about a bad

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 2>economy because of Donald Trump. It's any and everyone's fault.

0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 2>When a good number comes out, Oh, that's all us. Well,

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>if you're willing to own the good numbers, you have

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>to own the bad ones. And people's lived experience in

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Australia has gone backwards, living standards down to the nineteen fifties.

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 2>The value of the Australian dollar has gone down by

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the best part of ten cents under this government, meaning

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 2>everything we import to the country costs more. This is

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 2>just I cannot believe when we have shown you week

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 2>after week, month after month, year after year, we have

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 2>truly built a wall of accountability that these people should

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 2>be running into at a federal election. You know that

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 2>just since we've been back this year, a third of

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>parents had trouble paying for the basics like schools, school.

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Uniforms, new pencils to get their kids through to school.

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Three million people on top of the people that are

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>already homeless, record numbers, by the way, are at risk

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>of homelessness, and a stat that should shame our country

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 2>and shame the governments who have more money than they've

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 2>ever had, but when they choose to spend it, they

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 2>do not choose to spend it on the people who

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 2>are truly struggling. Despite the fact that many governments and

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 2>certainly our federal government claim to be more compassionate, more

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 2>connected of the people who struggled, when we know they

0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 2>couldn't give a stuff. Food bank in their report every

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>year under this government has shown that more than three

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 2>million people run out of food in this country. More

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 2>than three million households means more than three million people.

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.839
<v Speaker 2>If you're living by yourself, it's just you. But if

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 2>it's your husband, your wife, kids or grandkids, three point

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>four million million households are going hungry under this government. Yet,

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 2>when this government was faced with choices about what to

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 2>spend extra money on, or urgent money or borrowed money,

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 2>the priorities have not been to take care of themselves.

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry to take care of the people that's been

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 2>to take care of themselves. They have spent forty million

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 2>dollars of your money on ads to tell you the

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>two little too late tax cuts. Suddenly we're going to

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 2>change the world. The people who truly needed it, those

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 2>in and around that forty thousand dollars, Remember it was

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 2>fourteen dollars a week. It didn't even begin to touch

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the middle, let alone the sides. Then another forty five

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>million dollars to tell us about a future made in Australia.

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Again just a way of saying the government's doing something.

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Please vote for us. Everything is awesome and I know

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>that this is money that they chose to spend on

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 2>their own political standing rather than taking care of the

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>people of Australia. Why because freely available on the websites

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>are the people who take care of the more than

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>three million households more and wellatively more than three million

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 2>people who run out of food in Australia each and

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 2>every week. The groups of oz Harvest, Second Bite and

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Food Bank. The people who are helping these people on

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 2>their own websites will tell you what they asked for

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 2>for the federal government. They wanted an extra ten million dollars,

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what they wanted. The government spent eighty five million

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 2>dollars on itself and its own politics. This government has

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>absolutely refused to surge the support where the crisis is.

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>A lot is made about bushfires in Australia and how.

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>We fight them.

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 2>But if the metaphor here is the number of tummies

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 2>that grumbled because of the lack of food that they

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 2>have because the family has no money, and that creates

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the bushfire effect of need. This mob decided to spend

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>money on fire hoses for themselves to hope to distract

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.479
<v Speaker 2>the rest of us from those that are truly struggling.

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 2>It is an abysmal record that these people have and

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 2>on top of that, everything will be worse under Dutton.

0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>That's from the bloke who has received not one but

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>three pay rises since they came to government. The one

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 2>most recently put the Prime Minister over six hundred thousand

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>dollars a year. The one before that was the biggest

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 2>salary pay rise in a decade. The biggest salary pay

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>rise in a decade, also to the public service, which

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 2>is grown by a football stadium of people. And we're

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.359
<v Speaker 2>not talking about the frontline nurses. We're not talking.

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>About the firefighters or the police.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about the pen pushes and the clipboard holders

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 2>in the offices where they're going to draw the curtains

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 2>when it gets hot. Peter Dutton understandably rejects the criticism

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:24.640
<v Speaker 2>of a bloke who just is living in a fantasy

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>land and one that is so disconnected from normal, everyday

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Australians that if the polls are right, he could lose

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 2>his job. That being Jim Charmers, it's a bit rich

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 2>with the Labor Party. Further, Jim Chalmers, who has resided

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>over a cost a little crisis created with labors cost

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of crisis through the last agents where they

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.880
<v Speaker 2>could have taken decision and it didn't, which now see

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 2>families paying much more through their mortgage. Australia Day this weekend,

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to it. You know why I love this

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>moment because it is the celebration of bond in Australia

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 2>with all of its ups and downs, but certainly all

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 2>of its protections, freedoms and joy I love that Australia

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Days the day when literally thousands, thousands of people join

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the country and join the greatest club in the world

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:12.679
<v Speaker 2>that so many of us were lucky enough to be

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.479
<v Speaker 2>born in, and they commit to the country, and they

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 2>have a passion for the country, and many of the

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 2>local councils who represent those people are more openly passionate

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 2>about the day than people who did not have to

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 2>go through many of the torches that those people did

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.080
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy membership of the greatest club in the world, Australia.

0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 2>But we know there'll be plenty of other people that

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 2>will be out and about saying that the day must

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 2>never happen because of the sins of the past.

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Reality, of course, is that there is no dates they

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>wish to change it to.

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>They just do not want a recognition of modern Australia. Instead,

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.360
<v Speaker 2>thanks for all of the modernity in our Please hand

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 2>the keys over to who I don't know for how

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 2>much I don't know. But I can't go without noticing

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 2>here that, as you will have noticed over the past

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours, there is more plans for more protests,

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.200
<v Speaker 2>and particularly Melbourne, that loves the protest, is apparently going

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 2>to have one of its biggest.

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Inion blah blah blah, blahlah blah blah blah.

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know that organizers say we won't disrupt the

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Australian Open but there seems to be some suggestion.

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>There'll be plenty of people that will be willing to

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 1>cause some trouble on the day.

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>And generally speaking, I do not want to sull on

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 2>this lead up to Australia Day by talking about these people,

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 2>but I do want to talk about your center. Alben

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Cinder Allen is of course the premiere of Victoria, and

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 2>today she's trying to sing from the song sheet that

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the majority of Australians, the majority of Melbournians, the majority

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 2>of Victorians are which is respect on the day. Please

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.959
<v Speaker 2>pull your head in, don't cause any trouble. Here's what

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 2>she says.

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 3>There is a difference of opinion.

0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Everyone can have their own opinion, their own.

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 6>Difference of views, but we must have respect for those

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 6>differences of opinion.

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Again, the stones on these people.

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, this government, her government, the Andrews government of course

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.680
<v Speaker 2>that she was part of, but her government and her

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:06.440
<v Speaker 2>as Premier, has presided over oh, firstly for COVID and

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 2>secondly for COVID, and then eventually they decided to end

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the Australia Day Parade in Victoria in the middle of Melbourne,

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the key events that people like to turn

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 2>up to celebrate the country and wave the flag that

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>people have fought under and millions of people have looked

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 2>to as they become citizens of this country. But that

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 2>parade is canceled, canceled by this government.

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh there's a difference of opinion and we respect.

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 2>No, we know what your decision is, which is you

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:43.960
<v Speaker 2>don't back the day. You don't think that there should

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:48.439
<v Speaker 2>be a rallying of people to celebrate the day for

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a parade, and it's not because Melbourne doesn't like parades.

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Remember this is also the government who doesn't just support

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the horses being paraded ahead of the Melbourne Cup, but

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:03.959
<v Speaker 2>declared a public whole so people could go and watch

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 2>said parades. These people, again, I don't mind the people

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that we fiercely disagree with, because.

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 1>At least they are consistent.

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 2>But the people now trying to appeal and say, hey,

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 2>calm it down are the ones who have added fuel

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to the fire by removing the prominence of yes, more

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 2>recent traditions. But guess how a long tradition becomes a

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 2>long tradition. It needs to start somewhere, and in the

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 2>case of a national day, a national anthem, a national border,

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 2>a national flag, yeah, it's got a start date.

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But when you.

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Decide to turn off the tradition because you feel uncomfortable

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 2>with the celebration of that tradition, yet you completely okay

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.520
<v Speaker 2>with other traditions because they are less controversial to you,

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 2>well then I'm sorry.

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>No one is listening to you.

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 2>The protesters won't be listening to her because the soft

0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:04.719
<v Speaker 2>message has gone out overtly from the Victorian government for years.

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Also excellent piece that was written today by our friend

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Dillon. Now Anthony is an Indigenous leader, a significant thinker,

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and someone from the Australian Catholic University, and he wrote today,

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 2>don't protest to day, go and fix the problems.

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Quote. Jumping up and.

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Down about the date consumes time and energy and change

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.200
<v Speaker 2>is nothing only distracting from the more serious.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Problems facing Indigenous Australian today.

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Would your deceased ancestors want you mourning for them? Or

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 2>the thousands of Indigenous Australians who live in unsafe, unclean

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 2>living conditions, don't know where their next meal is coming

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 2>from and will die an early, yet preventable death.

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Well said sir.

0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>And one other thing that I wanted to point out

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 2>here too was some of the little tricks that are

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 2>played by the media who often turned to polsters to

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 2>give them at times information that seems to match up

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:02.360
<v Speaker 2>with their editorial position. Now generally speaking, I like when

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 2>pollsters fight that and end up producing honest information that

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 2>is counted to the narrative that some people at the

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 2>media organization want to push. And you know I've spoken

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 2>plenty of times about the polls that I look to,

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 2>even at times if I disagree with you media organizations

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 2>that host them. But we know what the attitude is

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>towards Australia Day amongst normal Australians. And when a question

0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.640
<v Speaker 2>is as clear as the one the IPA asked, which

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 2>is Australia Day should be on January the twenty sixth,

0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 2>sixty nine percent of people up this year compared to

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 2>last year, so they agree, fourteen percent disagree, eighteen percent

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know, or in my view, probably are waiting for

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the courage to join the rest of us at almost

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:48.120
<v Speaker 2>seven out of ten. But then there was the essential

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>media organization providing the poll for the Turnbull Times. Now

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.199
<v Speaker 2>the question should be as clear and as consistent as

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:57.160
<v Speaker 2>the one that the IPA put out. Should Astraighted Day

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 2>be on January twenty six.

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Have a look at how.

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 2>They package things up in their polling. The headline says

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>changing views towards Australia Day. So somebody who just glances

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 2>at these things goes, oh geez, people who love it

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 2>must be going down, and people who disagree it must

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 2>be level or going oh, you know, they don't really get.

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Into the details.

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 2>But the actual question that was asked was not about

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 2>should we change the date or even should the day

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 2>be January twenty sixth, and so the actual question is

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 2>will you personally be doing anything to celebrate as straight

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:33.879
<v Speaker 2>a day or do you treat it as just a

0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 2>public holiday? About as open as you can get when

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the debate is not about what you do on the day.

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 2>The debate is about whether the day should exist or be,

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.919
<v Speaker 2>whether the day should be moved, and even if there

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:53.359
<v Speaker 2>should be a day at all. Now, amazingly, in that pile,

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:55.919
<v Speaker 2>once you actually have a look at the lines that

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 2>go up and the lines that go down, the only

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 2>thing that rowse in and that poll was don't know,

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.399
<v Speaker 2>just a public holiday. By the way, is the number

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 2>that is down. As for the age groups, just a

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>public holiday or working on the day. You can see

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.479
<v Speaker 2>that younger people, they sit there at fifty two percent,

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty five to fifty four year olds. This is the

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:20.159
<v Speaker 2>big swing group that will decide the next federal election.

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>They're sitting at fifty five percent. Something.

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 2>To celebrate people over the age of fifty five, the

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:29.440
<v Speaker 2>people who have lived and built the country, whose parents

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 2>were of the greatest generation. They will try to do

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>something tomorrow to actively celebrate and commemorate the day. But

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>come on, let's be serious. If you're going to do

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 2>a poll about Australia Day, we know the question shifting

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 2>attitudes changing attitudes towards Australia Day as the headline. The

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 2>actual detail and devil in the detail was always there. Meantime,

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:53.159
<v Speaker 2>the number of local councils now, I know that it

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 2>is a growing number of councils, but I do want

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 2>to put into some perspective about just how many councils

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 2>are shunning the day or will be doing something and

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.920
<v Speaker 2>having their local citizenship ceremonies. There are five hundred and

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven local councils in Australia, one hundred and fifty

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 2>four and I'm going to say only one hundred and

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 2>fifty four are the ones who are not doing it

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 2>on the day. Important to note that of the many

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 2>five hundred and thirty seven councils that will be proudly

0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>celebrating the day are the councils that represent the people

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 2>who may well have joined the country in this generation

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 2>or the generation previous or the generation previous to that.

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Western Sydney and out of suburban councils of Sydney, Melbourne

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and Brisbane are the ones that will be most passionate

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 2>about it. Their local federal mp will be people like

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Die Lee who will literally wear the Australian flag in

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:51.919
<v Speaker 2>pride for her country. So ignore the haters, but we

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 2>can't ignore what they're going to do. Ignore the politicians

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:54.880
<v Speaker 2>who want to have.

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>It each way.

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 2>But use this, of course, as the day will be

0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 2>celebrating everything that is amazing about the country, which brings

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 2>me to a celebration of the very people who are

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:06.959
<v Speaker 2>about to be rewarded in the next couple of days

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:11.679
<v Speaker 2>the Australian of the Year Award. It always produces some

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 2>level of controversy, either because they make ridiculous piecks like

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Rush when the Marcams were in the same batch

0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 2>of people who had made it to the final round.

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like the presentation of it as something where

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 2>there's a series of nominees and there's an ultimate winner.

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I think they should just announce the ultimate winner and

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.760
<v Speaker 2>then on Australia Day announce to the different state recipients

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 2>are Otherwise it sets it into a competition where someone

0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>is more supreme and above others when it comes.

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:41.919
<v Speaker 1>To Australia Day. But these are the people who have.

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Been nominated by your state to be the Australian of

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the Year, the Young Australian of the Year, the Senior

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Australian of the Year, or the local hero, the local

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 2>heroes in particular. They really float in the boat. They

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 2>really do when it comes to these people. But I

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 2>wanted to actually take a moment to honor the people

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:01.560
<v Speaker 2>who have been already recogniz as the Australian of the

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Year in each and every state and territory in the country.

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:07.080
<v Speaker 2>They are the best of us and they deserve their

0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:10.119
<v Speaker 2>moment in the spotlight before that spotlight will inevitably narrow

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 2>onto one worthy person. And I've got a very clear

0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:18.199
<v Speaker 2>thought of whom that best example of the best of

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 2>us should by this time be awarded. By this time

0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow I be awarded as the Australian of the Year,

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 2>or sorry, on Saturday night, as the Australian of the Year.

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's start in New South Wales. Now, a lady called

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:36.159
<v Speaker 2>cath is a kindness campaigner. Now she's also a person

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 2>with a disability. She's a person who at one point

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:42.160
<v Speaker 2>in time wasn't able to reach a lift button. Somebody

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 2>walked in and they pressed it for her, and that

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 2>very simple act of kindness gave her a sense of

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 2>confidence of the people that were around her, and she's

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 2>taken that to the next level and spreads this message all.

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Over the joint.

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 6>So far, we've seen close to eight million acts of

0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 6>kindness from all around the globe being logged on our website.

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 6>Through that those acts of kindness, we've been able to

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 6>collect data. What that data has allowed us to do

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 6>is to co create a kindness curriculum, and that exists

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 6>in three and a half thousand Aussie schools and beyond

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.720
<v Speaker 6>that within the University Pathway in the UK and high

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 6>schools in the USA as well. So that's a social

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 6>and emotional learning tool that teaches the basic principles of

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 6>kindness to kids. What that's doing is increasing mental health

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 6>and wellness within children and allowing them to create a

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 6>form of resilience that matters to them.

0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I love it, Well done, congratulations, kath Jeffrey Smith wants

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 2>to create pathways for autistic youth into employment. He representing

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Queensland as their australing of the.

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 7>Year we started because of the appalling unemployment rate of

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 7>autistic people in Australia. Thirty four percent of young autistic

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 7>people are unemployed and more than half of them have

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 7>never had a paid job. But it shouldn't be that

0:29:57.920 --> 0:30:01.720
<v Speaker 7>way because the young you're at divergent mind often has

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 7>fantastic strengths in this technologically advanced world.

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 2>WA has produced Diane and Ian and they have made

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 2>their life's work understanding the richness and importance of the

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 2>soil in which we grow our crops and of course

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 2>our food.

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 8>We went out and learned a lot of knowledge from

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 8>all around the world, speaking with leading scientists, and that

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 8>piece together an agricultural system to actually nurture those microbiomes

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 8>in the soil, because we soon realize with the human

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 8>health that we're actually providing nourishment for the community. Food

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 8>is a nourishing, health giving medicinal thing that we actually consume.

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Sam Elsom is from Tasmania. He has worked on being

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 2>able to turn seaweed into something that can reduce carbon emissions,

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>but more importantly help the animals of this country.

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 9>The way it works is an animal poll did tiny

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 9>amount of this product and it reacts with enzymes in

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 9>their stomach, basically improving their digestive process and stopping the

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 9>formation of methane. This is important because methane, as a

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 9>greenhouse gas, has eighty four times the warming effect on

0:31:14.680 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 9>our planet as regular carbon dioxide, and about seventy percent

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 9>of agriculture's emissions comes from the methane produced by livestock.

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Now we'll get to I think will end up being

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the Australian of the Year, but I would be also

0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 2>incredibly happy if the person from the act got up.

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.959
<v Speaker 2>Megan wants to keep sick kids and chronically ill kids

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:39.320
<v Speaker 2>connected to their schools, to stay in them as for

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 2>as long as possible, but to remain connected because of

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 2>course there's nothing worse than loneliness on top of illness.

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 3>I started a charity called Missing School along with two

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 3>other mothers in a Canberra lounge room in twenty twelve.

0:31:53.520 --> 0:32:00.040
<v Speaker 3>Our three sons had life threatening illnesses. We knew that

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:05.479
<v Speaker 3>school connection was the ingredient missing in their return to health.

0:32:06.560 --> 0:32:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations of course to Megan. Leah is from South Australia.

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 2>She is directly trying to fight child abuse and neglect.

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 6>Six in ten Australians have been abused or neglected.

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 3>It's a national emergency, and we don't treat it like

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:27.480
<v Speaker 3>a national emergency.

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 10>We don't really like to talk about it.

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:33.920
<v Speaker 2>These are the good souls who walk amongst us, who

0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:37.240
<v Speaker 2>of course have been recognized by each of the different

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>states and the territories, including in the Northern Territory, where

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the focus is getting kids to pick up musical instruments

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 2>and to save their culture and celebrate their culture through music.

0:32:51.960 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Sam Young Generagin interesting, our reginal song. So many but

0:32:59.200 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>some nothing.

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 11>I'm trying to push.

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Them in my community.

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 2>And then there is Neil Danaher, famous in the football

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 2>world and famous of course as an AFL coach, but

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 2>a man who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, a

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>crippling and horrific way to spend the final years of

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:27.480
<v Speaker 2>your life. And through big events like the Big Freeze

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 2>and his efforts to fight monor neurone disease or MND,

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 2>he's raised millions of dollars that has gone into research

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>that has extended people's lives. My personal hope is that

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Neil will be the Australian of the Year.

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 12>When I was diagnosed in twenty and thirteen, I was

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 12>told the life span was around three years and there

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 12>was no hope. I didn't like the sound of that.

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:56.360
<v Speaker 12>So we have set up the Fight M and D

0:33:56.560 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 12>Foundation to give those diagnosed in the futuresome. Our impact

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:05.720
<v Speaker 12>has included injecting over one hundred million dollars into medical

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:09.760
<v Speaker 12>research in Australia. This has been a real game changer

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 12>in the fight against em and as we now fund

0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 12>a small industry of researchers whose aim is to find treatments.

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:20.799
<v Speaker 12>We have brought medical trials to those living with M

0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 12>and D in Australia and we have driven great awareness

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 12>to the fight. However, until we fund a cure, the

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 12>fight will not end.

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank goodness, we live in a country where people can

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:37.279
<v Speaker 2>fight for each other, fight for themselves, take care of

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:39.799
<v Speaker 2>each other, and try to move the ball further and

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 2>further down the field towards the best version of ourself.

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:46.759
<v Speaker 2>That's what I will celebrate on Australia Day. I look

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:49.040
<v Speaker 2>forward to seeing you here Sunday night as we do so.

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 2>But congratulations to all of those nominees, everyone else in

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 2>all the other categories and all of the other local

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:56.560
<v Speaker 2>presentations that will happen around the country for in a

0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 2>secon year. In fact, Megan Kelly will join us next

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:01.520
<v Speaker 2>from the States and fought up and wonderful as if a.

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Lake and Kelly. Next on, Paul Murray Law, thanks for watching.

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Favorite time of the wake is to talk to a

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 2>favorite person in the world, the wonderful Magan Kelly. It

0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:15.239
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter what she says, it always makes news. And

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:17.319
<v Speaker 2>there's been a bit of it this week. Rockstarle love

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 2>you to say.

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 1>How does the brand new America smell?

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 10>Oh my gosh, it's wonderful, Paul, I can't recommend.

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>It highly enough. It's just I said.

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 10>Today, It's like you go to sleep and you wake

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:31.600
<v Speaker 10>up and you realize all of your dreams have come true.

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 10>Everything I hoped for is happening minute by minute. These

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:39.719
<v Speaker 10>executive actions are spectacular. The Lake and Riley Act just

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 10>passed and was signed into law. Like everything he's doing,

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 10>we've cracking. We're already arresting over three hundred illegal immigrants

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 10>who have committed crimes. I mean everything he's firing, the

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 10>DEI heads across the federal government. It's it's like an

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 10>instant utopia, or at least road too.

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Now you gave a speech the day before the inauguration,

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and it was spectacular.

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I want people to go back watch.

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.560
<v Speaker 2>It all because you lay it out clearly about what

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:11.359
<v Speaker 2>your expectations are and your hopes are.

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 1>But I was so pleased that you gave.

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 2>A cautionary node to everyone who is excited at this

0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 2>point in time, which is, Okay, we're back in the game,

0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:23.160
<v Speaker 2>we've got the ball, we're leading, but we haven't won

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the war. This is such an important thing for people

0:36:25.800 --> 0:36:30.319
<v Speaker 2>to understand that the victory isn't just getting back there.

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:34.759
<v Speaker 2>The victory is getting the country back to where good

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 2>people have wanted it for a long time.

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 7>That's exactly right.

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:40.719
<v Speaker 10>And you know, there are two points I was making,

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 10>and I'll take them on reverse order, starting with the

0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:46.240
<v Speaker 10>one you raised, and that is it's great that Trump

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 10>is doing all this by executive order, and a lot

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 10>of it can be done by executive order, but it's

0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 10>much much better if it's done by law. If we

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 10>can get actual laws written into place that can dismantle

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:00.160
<v Speaker 10>some of the things that have been done, especially on

0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:02.719
<v Speaker 10>the women's issue and the women in the prison and

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 10>the boys and girls' sports and all that, because then

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.399
<v Speaker 10>it can't just be undone by an executive order from

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:12.200
<v Speaker 10>the next president. Now, all the DEI stuff is already illegal.

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:15.719
<v Speaker 10>It's been illegal for a long time. They've just not

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:19.600
<v Speaker 10>been enforcing the law that makes it unlawful to discriminate

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 10>against any racial group, including whites, in hiring and at

0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:27.399
<v Speaker 10>the university level now thanks to affirmative action and so on.

0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 10>So that law just needs to be enforced, and Trump

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:33.680
<v Speaker 10>means business in enforcing it. But there's a lot of

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:35.640
<v Speaker 10>stuff that he's doing by executive order that we love

0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:37.600
<v Speaker 10>and we just need written into law. And it's going

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 10>to take some expenditure of political power, and I think

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 10>he'll do it. But in other words, you know, live

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:45.799
<v Speaker 10>by executive order, dive by executive order. And so if

0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 10>we can get things through legislatively, we'll be in a

0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:51.240
<v Speaker 10>lot better position come the next president if it's a Democrat.

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:54.080
<v Speaker 10>And that's going to require hard work and patience and

0:37:54.160 --> 0:37:56.480
<v Speaker 10>people calling their congressman and their senator and being a

0:37:56.520 --> 0:37:59.880
<v Speaker 10>squeaky wheel. And that's in part what I mean by fight.

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 10>But it also requires, and this is point two, people

0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:06.520
<v Speaker 10>like the people I mentioned in the speech, people who

0:38:06.560 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 10>take risks, people who see that this nonsense is still

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 10>going on at their workplace or their school and put

0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:16.760
<v Speaker 10>their necks on the chopping block to say this is wrong.

0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 10>I object, and I'm going to publicly out you. And

0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:24.239
<v Speaker 10>there remains risk in doing that in blue cities and

0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 10>circles because even though Trump says it by edict, doesn't

0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:30.640
<v Speaker 10>mean it has popular support in every circlet net. It

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.279
<v Speaker 10>does in nationwide. We're seeing that in the polls. But

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:36.399
<v Speaker 10>if you work at Columbia University, do you think it's

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:40.160
<v Speaker 10>going to go overwhell when you fire your DEI chief, okay,

0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 10>or when they sneak DEI or affirmative action into or

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:49.400
<v Speaker 10>mandated pronoun use into your college curriculum, and you have

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:52.400
<v Speaker 10>to be the librarian who speaks up. That takes a

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 10>lot of guts, and it especially took a lot of

0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.439
<v Speaker 10>guts in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, and there

0:38:57.440 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 10>were soldiers in quotes on this battlefield for a long time.

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 10>Who I don't want to be a really dramatic, but

0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 10>in some way we lost.

0:39:07.600 --> 0:39:10.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, Trump's first days. I've been fascinated to watch

0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 1>how does the.

0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Establishment media because I refuse to do the mainstream I'm

0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:20.759
<v Speaker 2>so sick of those of us in common sense mainstream

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:25.120
<v Speaker 2>commentary referring to them as the mainstream. No, they're the establishment,

0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 2>they're the access, they're the dominantly, they're the regime.

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:29.920
<v Speaker 1>All the rest of it media, right.

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 2>But their power to create the chaos narrative is grossly diminished.

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:37.280
<v Speaker 2>If not is not going to work for a while

0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 2>their psychological warfare approach. If if we turn up the noise,

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.880
<v Speaker 2>then eventually the Democrat promises to turn down the noise,

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 2>and then that's how we make Trump.

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Trump is a maga go away. How do you feel

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:53.800
<v Speaker 1>about how the media is playing the early days poorly?

0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:56.840
<v Speaker 10>They're up to their old old tricks and they're not

0:39:56.920 --> 0:40:00.080
<v Speaker 10>going to change, you know, they hate them too much.

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 10>It really is the divide between the elites and the

0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:06.800
<v Speaker 10>regular folks here. I mean, the media doesn't even represent

0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:10.600
<v Speaker 10>the Democrat Party anymore. They just represent some sort of

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:13.399
<v Speaker 10>so called elite faction of the Democratic Party, these rich

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:17.200
<v Speaker 10>millionaires who like to pat themselves on the back about

0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 10>how wonderful they are and what virtuous people they are. Meanwhile,

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 10>even the Democrats are on board with the Trump agenda.

0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:26.719
<v Speaker 10>The polls this week show it.

0:40:27.040 --> 0:40:27.760
<v Speaker 1>The New York.

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:32.760
<v Speaker 10>Times showing the polling on the transgender issue. A vast

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 10>majority of Democrats are now where I am where I

0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 10>am on these issues. It's amazing to me, both on

0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:45.960
<v Speaker 10>the we've gone too far and quote accommodating this trans madness,

0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 10>on getting boys and men out of the sports of

0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:53.920
<v Speaker 10>girls and women, in getting them out of women's private spaces,

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:57.759
<v Speaker 10>they're all over where we are. I mean, high percentages

0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 10>pushing seventy percent of the Democrats are now in favor

0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:06.319
<v Speaker 10>of this stuff, and the same on illegal immigration. I mean,

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:09.880
<v Speaker 10>they look like Republicans now in the Democrat Party, but

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:13.160
<v Speaker 10>you would not know that to watch CNN or to

0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 10>watch MSNBC or to watch CBS. They're not adjusting their

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 10>coverage because reality is setting in. They're digging in because

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:23.319
<v Speaker 10>they really need to feel like they were right about

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 10>this stuff. And they're the good, virtuous people. And I

0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:27.319
<v Speaker 10>don't think they're going to stop, and I don't think

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:29.799
<v Speaker 10>their bosses are going to make them stop. Look at

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:33.640
<v Speaker 10>Gail King, as we've watched President Trump take the oath

0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:36.240
<v Speaker 10>of office, she was focused not on the historic change,

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 10>not on the mandate that he's been given, not on

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:41.440
<v Speaker 10>the working class feeling heard, not on the problems of

0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 10>the media, but on why shouldn't see more people of

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:49.040
<v Speaker 10>color inside the capital rotunda. You can't help be people

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:50.320
<v Speaker 10>who cannot help themselves.

0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 2>The reaction to your comments ran Jeff Bezos's fields, I go,

0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:55.959
<v Speaker 2>friend whatever turning up.

0:41:56.000 --> 0:42:00.560
<v Speaker 1>In pretty obviously inappropriate gia to the to.

0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:02.880
<v Speaker 2>The inaugural has been amazing, Like it literally was a

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.759
<v Speaker 2>dialogue news story in the Stratia that Megan Caley it

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:07.120
<v Speaker 2>absolutely all night.

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll send you, I'll send it all to you.

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 2>You know that, he written in Ted what's been the

0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:14.759
<v Speaker 2>dumbest clapback that you've heard from people about why your

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.640
<v Speaker 2>take that she luklacohooka was wrong.

0:42:20.440 --> 0:42:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.840
<v Speaker 10>Some people will like to point to other like saucy

0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 10>photos of me in the past and say like, oh,

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:28.719
<v Speaker 10>so there you go, And I laugh because it's like,

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 10>no one's arguing that you can never bring the sauce.

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:37.000
<v Speaker 10>I mean, no woman would make that argument. I brought

0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:39.000
<v Speaker 10>the sauce in the past, and I've loved every minute

0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:43.120
<v Speaker 10>of it, but not at the damned presidential swearing in.

0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.719
<v Speaker 10>It wasn't even like an inaugural ball. That's fine too,

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:48.959
<v Speaker 10>I wouldn't have ripped on her for that, though she's

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.160
<v Speaker 10>always dressed like a prostitute. To be honest, I mean

0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:54.440
<v Speaker 10>it's it's not like a one off. But you you

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:56.960
<v Speaker 10>are one of the favorite few who's not only in

0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 10>the the rotunda, which only has a couple hundred people

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:02.960
<v Speaker 10>in there, but you know you're going to be on

0:43:03.000 --> 0:43:07.799
<v Speaker 10>camera right behind the president and the first family, and

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:09.879
<v Speaker 10>you decide now would be a great time to show

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:12.120
<v Speaker 10>my boobs. I wonder if people would like to see

0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 10>my boobs. This woman is not the picture of class.

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:19.640
<v Speaker 10>I'm entitled to see, observe and comment on that because

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 10>that's what I do. And if you don't like.

0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:25.880
<v Speaker 2>It, you know, I think we end in the right place.

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.440
<v Speaker 1>You're the best, Megan, Thank you so much, my pleasure.

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:31.839
<v Speaker 1>She is the best. You can see her full show.

0:43:31.840 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 2>It's up on YouTube or if you've got serious XM,

0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:35.799
<v Speaker 2>or you can get a podcast, or of course, even

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:37.600
<v Speaker 2>more of our conversation is up at sky news dot

0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:40.120
<v Speaker 2>com dot au plenty more before we're done tonight, about

0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:42.560
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes away from the Lake debate.

0:43:47.920 --> 0:43:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm making Kelly. She is awesome.

0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:53.080
<v Speaker 2>All types of awesome, all right now, Also all types

0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:55.920
<v Speaker 2>of awesome is Patrick McGorry. Now, he is a professor

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.880
<v Speaker 2>who has dedicated his life to making sure that mental

0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:01.800
<v Speaker 2>health is treated in the same urgency and at times

0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:06.000
<v Speaker 2>effortlessness as many other things that will hold people back

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:09.359
<v Speaker 2>or be something that we need to get over. He

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:11.880
<v Speaker 2>is or live with. He is, of course a former

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Australian of the Year. He's a man who was so

0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:19.000
<v Speaker 2>prominent and common sense during times like COVID and he

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:22.399
<v Speaker 2>has absolutely come to the aid and the support of

0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the New South Wales psychiatrists in the public system who

0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:29.919
<v Speaker 2>are walking off the job. They're walking off the job

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.839
<v Speaker 2>because of their pay, yes, but their conditions, their lack

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:34.799
<v Speaker 2>of respect that they believe.

0:44:34.520 --> 0:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>That they have in many areas.

0:44:37.520 --> 0:44:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, the people who work in these systems are incredible.

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Everyone in our health system is amazing. But the people

0:44:43.560 --> 0:44:47.200
<v Speaker 2>who are dealing with people in mental health crisis in

0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 2>the public system, that is an enviable amount of strength

0:44:53.239 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 2>and courage that they have. As I say, they're currently

0:44:56.600 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 2>in a dispute with the government and nothing I say

0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:00.000
<v Speaker 2>is going to push that one way or the other.

0:45:00.120 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 2>But I did want to show you what Professor mcgrurrough

0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 2>told my dear friend Laura Jays today, and it is

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:08.759
<v Speaker 2>about how we treat people, and how we treat these

0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:12.239
<v Speaker 2>people in particular, and talking about how even in the

0:45:12.239 --> 0:45:16.200
<v Speaker 2>medical industry they feel a lack of respect.

0:45:17.760 --> 0:45:20.600
<v Speaker 13>Well, these psychiatrists are the best of the best. They

0:45:20.600 --> 0:45:23.960
<v Speaker 13>have hung around in the public system despite the poor

0:45:24.000 --> 0:45:26.440
<v Speaker 13>conditions and the lack of respect paid to them by

0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:30.040
<v Speaker 13>their colleagues and by the government and the system for years.

0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:34.800
<v Speaker 13>So they are very vocationally driven and they're being forced

0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:38.520
<v Speaker 13>out in a way. So the work they do has

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:41.799
<v Speaker 13>got steadily more difficult over the years because it's all

0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 13>ambulances at the bottom of the cliff, as you say,

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:47.799
<v Speaker 13>Because the public community mental health system has been just

0:45:48.040 --> 0:45:50.920
<v Speaker 13>eroding and disappearing for.

0:45:51.000 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Way too long.

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:55.000
<v Speaker 2>And part of that is because we remember generation ago,

0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:59.320
<v Speaker 2>stupid decisions were made about shutting down systems that worked.

0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Imperfect it's difficult, yes, but setting shutting down the systems

0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:02.880
<v Speaker 2>that work with.

0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Are's specialized hospitals. All of that, and of.

0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Course the wider community has had to embrace. And then

0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 2>when people go through particular moments of crisis, then they

0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:17.040
<v Speaker 2>end up going into frankly, the public hospital system and

0:46:17.080 --> 0:46:19.920
<v Speaker 2>then a series of specialized and supported things that are

0:46:19.960 --> 0:46:22.799
<v Speaker 2>around that. But the professor had plenty more to say

0:46:22.960 --> 0:46:25.040
<v Speaker 2>about what the prescription is here, and yeah, it's going

0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:29.160
<v Speaker 2>to cost money, but more importantly, it is going to.

0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Cost a priority.

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 2>It's going to require the people who make the decisions

0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to count this as an unglamorous thing that doesn't change

0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:40.000
<v Speaker 2>elections but does save lives.

0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:43.239
<v Speaker 13>The people who are really going to suffer out of

0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:45.320
<v Speaker 13>this and are the public, you know, the ordinary people

0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:49.279
<v Speaker 13>who can get safe and affective mental health care that

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 13>affects every Australian family, and even the private system, as

0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:56.000
<v Speaker 13>even affluent people know, is not fit for purpose either.

0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:59.600
<v Speaker 13>So I think Australians need to wake up to the

0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:01.839
<v Speaker 13>fact that they are getting a really raw deal from

0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:05.720
<v Speaker 13>governments on mental health. It's a chalk and cheese between

0:47:05.800 --> 0:47:09.440
<v Speaker 13>cancer care for example, or NDAs care and mental health care,

0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:09.920
<v Speaker 13>and that.

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Is completely unnecessary.

0:47:11.760 --> 0:47:14.400
<v Speaker 13>It's weakening the country and it's something that could be

0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:16.799
<v Speaker 13>sold very quickly if governments got real.

0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:21.759
<v Speaker 2>I love that it's about priorities. As I showed you

0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:25.200
<v Speaker 2>before when it came to people needing food. This isn't

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 2>bleeding heart stuff, this is decency stuff. And we have

0:47:28.320 --> 0:47:30.719
<v Speaker 2>very high taxes in this country, and our expectation is

0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that in the same way, if somebody has a heart attack,

0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:34.920
<v Speaker 2>somebody will take care of them. So too for the

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:37.200
<v Speaker 2>people who are at some of the worst moments of

0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:40.719
<v Speaker 2>their life. Finally, the week has been all about Donald Trump.

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Normally I do a winner and loser of the week.

0:47:42.520 --> 0:47:45.560
<v Speaker 2>He is the winner of the year and certainly this week.

0:47:45.600 --> 0:47:51.040
<v Speaker 2>After returning to power. Today he made further announcements and

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 2>they are now fifteen hundred troops that are on the

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:56.719
<v Speaker 2>southern border. He also sat down for an interview with

0:47:56.760 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Fox News is Sean Hannity. I loved the setting of

0:47:59.120 --> 0:48:03.840
<v Speaker 2>inside the over Office. It was particularly powerful. And this

0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:07.000
<v Speaker 2>is what he said about that experience of walking back

0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:11.560
<v Speaker 2>in after four years in a very tough place.

0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:18.160
<v Speaker 11>I went through four years of hell by the scum

0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:20.480
<v Speaker 11>that we had to deal with. I went through four

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:25.120
<v Speaker 11>years of hell. I spent millions of dollars in legal fears,

0:48:26.000 --> 0:48:29.000
<v Speaker 11>and I won. But I did it the hard way.

0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:34.560
<v Speaker 11>It's really hard to say that they shouldn't have to

0:48:34.560 --> 0:48:35.239
<v Speaker 11>go through it all.

0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:36.759
<v Speaker 1>So it is very hard to say that.

0:48:37.760 --> 0:48:39.400
<v Speaker 2>But he's pulled his punch and he didn't say that

0:48:39.440 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 2>they should. That's the Trump that We like fight fight, fight,

0:48:43.480 --> 0:48:45.600
<v Speaker 2>win win win Go Yankees. Have a great weekend and

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:47.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll see you on a Striday night.
