WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 16 October 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:04.439 On scoring US Australia. 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:07.200 This is the Reader Panalty Show. 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.280 Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panicky Show coming 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:15.160 up tonight. The Prime Minister facing more criticism for that tone. 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:19.599 Dev Beach House purchase why experts are alarmed by Australia's 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.360 foreign policy being compromised with identity politics. Senator Alex Antique 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.160 will join me to discuss the latest from the US 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:31.280 with Army Horowitz, including black and Hispanic voters walking away 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.000 from the Democrats, and later in the hour, seventy Bastian 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.159 will tell us why Chris Mins support where a radical 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.880 policy will be bad news for New South Wales women 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.920 and we never forget left He's losing it Tonight, Kamala 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:47.680 Harris is looking at the stars. 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:53.720 Look at where the stars are in the sky. Don't 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.680 look them as just rand of things, if you just 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.440 look at them as points. Look at the constellation. What 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.960 does it show you? So you just outlined it, Roland, 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.080 what does it show you? 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.600 No idea what she's talking about. But first it's looking 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.160 grim for the Stephen Miles government if early exit polls 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.000 are to be believed. Korea Mail reports that an exit 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.040 poll of one thousand Queensland is conducted by the paper 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:20.039 and its sister publications. At early voting, Boots in ten 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.120 seats showed a soaring primary vote for the LNP and 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.760 trouble for Labor. The results are a similar to a 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.240 recent news poll. The exit poll shows that the coalition 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.360 is sitting on forty eight point two percent primary vote, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.360 Labour on thirty, Green's on eight point six percent, and 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.720 one Nation on seven point three. If the data is accurate, 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.920 then several government ministers will lose their seats. Let's bring 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:51.200 in skyn Ish contributor pro mcswayin Proue. It seems crime 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.520 and cost of living are top issues in Queensland. Can 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.600 Stephen Miles do anything to convince Queenslanders to give Labor 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:00.520 an the term? 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.600 I can't say it happening. I don't think people are 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.880 that stupid. I mean, the man cannot even remember the 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.040 name of some of. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.799 His aspirants who are working with him. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.440 The guy has tried to buy votes, He's given away 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:20.240 almost houses to everybody. But you cannot deny that crime, 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.080 the cost of living, the fact that their debt is 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.960 just skyrockt rocketing in that state. It's Anette government, It's 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.440 a lazy government. It's been in power for the best 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.440 part of what thirty years or so, with a slight 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.840 hiccup with Campbell Newman. But you know when you look 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.320 at the fact that so many of these seats held 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.680 by Labor are just on a knife edge. There's only 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.919 five votes in it or twelve votes in it. And 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.120 all Chris of Filey needs is twelve seats and he'll 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.680 walk it in. And I think he'll do that with 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:53.600 his eyes closed. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.600 Now Australia's private health insurers are expected to ask the 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.400 albumy is the government in early November for a hike 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:07.440 in premiums. Somewhere between five and six percent is being reported. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.760 This is with the highest increase pre since twenty sixteen. 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:16.079 It's terrible news for Labor, it's terrible news for Australians. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:20.160 Health insurance premiums are already a major burden on household 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.080 budgets and I do wonder, Prue how many will cancel 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.040 or reduce their cover if there is a five or 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.720 six percent hike in their premium. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.400 Already Rita so many have at least if they haven't canceled, 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.080 they've changed it so that they're not playing it paying 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.040 as much, and when you look at it, most younger 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.680 people are dropping it. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.040 It's oldies like me. 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.920 Who really need to have that cover who are not 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.400 prepared to roll the dice. But what really annoys me 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.240 is thatment consecutive governments have been told and have been 0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:00.280 aware that the population is aging, that the strain on 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.920 our health system was going to get worse as people 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.040 do get older. And when we have people like me, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.839 I've been paying the top cover of health cover since 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.920 i was sixteen. I don't think I've used it that often. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.440 Maybe in my later life a little bit more, but 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.440 you cannot afford not to have it. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.280 But when they're not, you see the gap growing. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.000 You're paying all this money and yet you're still having 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.400 to top it up. So the health funds are announcing 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.279 big profits. They're not willing to pay for private rooms 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.440 as we know, and. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:32.320 There's the pinch. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.719 But if people drop out, it's going to put more 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.800 pressure on the health system and our hospital drowning as 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.200 it is, so you know, there's a huge dilemma for 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:41.880 this government. 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.960 The funeral surrounding the Prime Minister's purchase of a luxury 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.039 beach house continues. If Anthony Albeneasy thought this would be 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.480 a twenty four hour story. He was mistaken. He's been 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.600 accused of poor political judgment after purchasing this four point 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.359 three million dollar home on the New Southwelles Central Coast. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.159 When asked about whether he had thought about how struggling 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.320 Australians would view the purchase, this was his response. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.560 We also know what it's like. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.440 To struggle. My mum lived in the one public housing 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.719 that she was born in for all of her sixty 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.440 five years, and I know what it's like, which is 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.040 why I want to help all Australians into a home. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.560 And some people are taking the purchase as a sign 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.039 that he's bracing for an election loss, already perhaps contemplating 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.680 life after politics. Are you planning to retire there? 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.240 I'm planning to be in my current job for a 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.680 very long period of time. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.880 And then he seemed to suggest that the purchase was 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:45.360 motivated by his film. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:51.200 Say, well, Jody and I getting married, as is known, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:56.560 and I'm pleased about that. And JODI's a coasty She's 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.160 a proud, coasty prow. 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:00.599 What are you thinking all this? 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.320 Well, look, one could say that he's very justified in 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:10.359 buying himself a house, as the headlines have been saying, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.240 it's just the timing, the judgment, the fact that he 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:19.640 really doesn't have a clue about what people are going through, 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.320 and he offers platitudes. Oh yeah, we know it's the 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.159 cost of living. We know that it's hard to buy 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.800 a house, particularly if you're a young couple. And yet 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.880 his deeds are denying all of that, because he's allowing 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.920 migrants to flood through the borders, and of course. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.040 That's part of our problem. 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.200 And then we also have the fact that Labor has 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.159 always been the party of envy, you know, political envy, 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.960 and they've done a great job of actually, I believe, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:00.960 failing aspirational Australians, you know, tradees who worked hard, small 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.280 mum and dads and of course self funded retirees who 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.200 are really at the thin end of the woods and 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.000 being penalized for the fact that they've worked hard. And 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.280 here he is saying he's worked hard and no one 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.200 can deny that. You know, it's a crappy job twenty 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.320 fourth to seven, but he's got so many perks and 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.880 he does earn a good living. But to me, it's 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.360 just doesn't fit with the narrative that the Labor Party 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.960 seems to want to propose. And of course you have 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:33.400 the Greens. Fourteen of them have three or more properties, 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.480 so I mean they're all just hypocrites. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.440 Well, it's the location of the house more so than anything. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.400 For me. If this was in Sydney, you could look 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:47.920 at the price and go well, it's a uniquely expensive market. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.080 And he is the Prime Minister. If he wants to 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:51.720 live in a four and a half million dollar house, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.840 good luck to him. But the fact that this is 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.160 not going to be his main residence, it's going to 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.200 be a beach house. I think he probably is going 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.280 to lease it out for a period that I think 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.120 is upsetting a few people. If you could a four 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.320 to four and a half million dollar beach house, perhaps 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:14.640 you're not really understanding what most Australians are going through 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.800 with the cost of living crisis. Now let's look at 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.680 this report released by Australian Seniors. It sheds more light 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:26.480 on the housing crisis facing young Australians. In particular, it's 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.960 so bad now that many are opting to live with 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:33.200 their parents well into their thirties. Prough and the Risk 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:37.520 report showed that eighty percent of Australian parents don't actually 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.320 want their children to move back home, and one in 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:46.600 three are giving their children an early inheritance or providing 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.360 some sort of financial support to help them either buy 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.240 a house or just for a bond so they can 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.600 rent a place. This is impacting how people live, both 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:02.440 retire people in retirement age and also young Australians. Well, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.720 this is the thing and what I guess the Albanezi 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:10.880 government doesn't understand that it's impacting people in really amazing 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.080 ways that really are going to cost them for the 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.400 rest of their lives, whether it be dipping into their 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.800 savings that they've really worked hard to build. But in 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.079 this case, you know, having your children, these boomerang children 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.720 come and want to live with you, and the dynamics 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:30.320 of the two generations or even three generations just don't work. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.440 So I can understand that, you know, parents want to 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.040 help their kids, but they don't want. 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.080 To sacrifice their lifestyle. I think it's a good idea 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.040 if they can afford it, to try and help them now, 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.640 because if the kids were likely to inherit the you know, 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.120 their savings and some sort of good inheritance, it's going 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.000 to allow them to buy a house in the future. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.240 If they can do it now, well and good. But 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.880 I don't blame them for being tough on it. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:55.640 But what do you do. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.680 You don't want to see your children on the streets 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.560 and that's what a lot of them are facing. 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.560 Prou McSween, thank you so much for your time tonight. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.480 Joining me now is Liberal Senator Alex and tick Alex, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.600 let's start with this issue. I cannot believe this. Foreign 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.760 policy experts have warned against the Albanesi government's move to 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.439 take what it calls a First Nations approach to Australia's 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.360 foreign policy. The Daily Telegraph has obtained an email sent 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.120 by strategy firm Inside Policy on behalf of First Nations 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:32.480 people Ambassador Justin Muhammad to indigenous stakeholders for their input 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:38.240 into Australia's foreign policy. A DEFAT spokesman wouldn't answer questions 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:42.960 on how much taxpayer money was going to Inside Policy, 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.040 and they said the Department is committed to ensuring the 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:50.760 implementation of a First nation's approach to foreign policy is 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:56.040 evidence based and includes knowledge and insights from First Nations leaders, businesses, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:03.680 stakeholders and communities across Australia. This looks like a very 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:09.359 expensive and I would argue unnecessary exercise. 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.320 Yeah, reader, I think that's right. I mean the first 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.120 thing I'd say off the cuff is I think we 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.520 and the government departments and the public generally have to 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.679 get over this business of using this term first Nations. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:28.199 I mean, it's a myth. There were no nations, and 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.960 in fact what we are seeing now is really in 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.520 practice this division of the country, the sort of division 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:40.080 which was roundly warded off by the Australian voting public 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.599 twelve months ago. I mean, in fact, the Voice referendum 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.720 was the voice of unity really in the sense people said, 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.600 we are all Australians. And so for this sort of 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.880 prospect of having these decisions being outsourced and the rule 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.840 of being run over from a so called first Nations 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.160 point of view is very troubling. Were used to this 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.480 at local government, at state level, many instances of that 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.640 happening here in South Australia, with some matters that we 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.559 were alerted to, where tens of thousands of dollars, if 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.000 not hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent consulting and 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:17.120 reconsulting and going back to various groups, indigenous groups about 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.439 signs at a National park and whether or not they 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:21.960 fitted the cultural sensitivity. 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.760 But this is a new level. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.920 I mean, these are extraordinarily important matters of foreign affairs 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.280 that simply just do not have to be dealt with 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:29.960 in this matter. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.880 It's frightening and Australian should be alarmed. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:34.400 Well. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:40.319 Defat seems to be completely taken over by identity politics. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.760 You look at so many of their communications and positions 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.760 they take. It seems to be rife through the bureaucracy. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:53.280 But when it does come to foreign policy, what does 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.920 this mean? Are we going to have two separate points 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.160 of view, one that represents all Australians and one that 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:06.880 only represents the First Nations Ambassador. I'm really quite confused 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.280 about how this new appointment even works. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:12.200 Yeah. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.439 I mean they would say all they're doing is consulting 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.880 with stakeholders, but really, we're all Australians. I mean I 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.640 don't see them consulting with the Greek Australian community. I 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.559 don't see them consulting with the Vietnamese Australian community. We're 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.520 all Australians and our foreign policy should be in the 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:29.200 best interests of Australia. So look, there are those in 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.080 the left in this country who simply want to see 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.600 those divisions. They love the identity politics. It's rife through 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:40.160 the bureaucracy and as we both know, the leftist terrarium 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:45.480 that is Parliament House during estimates shows that as clearly 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.800 as you would ever like to see. But this sort 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.800 of division has to stop. We need to speak with 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:50.520 one voice. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.200 And you're so right about the term First Nations really 0:13:56.240 --> 0:14:00.160 not being accurate. It's a political term, not even a 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.080 political term. Our activist came up whether it's taken from Canada, 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.520 and when you hear it, there should be a red 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:11.920 flag because it's normally politics at play. Now let's move 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.560 on to the bigam Bull Native Title Aboriginal Corporation being 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:20.880 granted a two hundred and ten hectar freehold land parcel 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:26.280 freehold land parcel surrounding the outback Queensland town of Toba. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.120 After three years of talks with the local and state governments. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:34.600 There now no Big and Bull people currently live in 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.560 to Beer and they haven't lived there, Alex since the 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:43.000 late nineteen sixties. What do you make of this decision? 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.240 Well, I mean I read the article with interest as well, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.800 and one of the one of the local business people 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.240 there says his family business has been in the area longer. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.840 And of course this was an extension of native title. Effectively, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.440 this was freehold title which was given to the group 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.120 because they were. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:01.160 Native title interests. 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.240 And I mean I remember very early on as a 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.080 university student when the Native Title Act was introduced to 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:10.000 people saying, oh, there's no way this is going to evolve. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.240 This is just you know, native title is what it is. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.880 And here we are. We're seeing this all over the country. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.480 And it's not just this one extreme example either. It's 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.120 also issues of permits being given out left, right and center. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.560 We've seen the reports of permits being needed to enter 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:28.480 land some beaches in Queensland. I believe the Central Land 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.000 Cancel is still requiring vaccine passports. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.360 To get through, some of them in the Northern territory. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.960 So this is an extension of the issue we talked 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:36.840 about to start off with. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.760 This is Australia. It is one country. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.120 This nonsense of having permits for everything to get into 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.480 parts of our own country is I mean, if it's 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.040 not alarming Australians, imagine what the voice would have done. 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.160 I mean, this is the one thing rank and file 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.000 everyday Australians have rejected this concept and it's time some 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.360 of these bureaucrats and weak politicians started doing the same thing. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:04.320 Well, yes, you had over sixty percent say no resoundingly, 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.520 and so many of the bureaucrats have just ignored that 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.160 and going on with their agenda like the referendum never happened. Now, 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.960 just finally, before you go, a huge win for free speech. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.600 Last week, Australia's e Karen as I call it, Julie 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.240 Inman Grant has abandoned her battle with Elon Musk and 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.920 X over the removal of videos from the alleged terror 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:32.040 event at Wakeley Church back in April. This is a 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:37.280 big win, Alex, but the Orwellian disinformation legislation that we're 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:42.080 now looking at will make this victory seem insignificant. It's nothing. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.880 If something like that comes in, it comes in and 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.520 everyone's free speech and free expression is going to be impacted. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:52.280 Yeah. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.000 Well, I mean these are the sort of canaries down 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.040 the coal mine of what we are going to see 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.760 if that act passes, Bill passes, which we all hope 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:04.480 it will not. I mean, these are you know, seemingly 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.920 simple things a Twitter post involving a violent attack. Sure, 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:13.760 but they're always couched in the language of preventing palmed children. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.440 You'll see all of the incursions onto free speech online 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.000 being framed in that terminology. This office originally started as 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.720 the Office of the Children's e Safety Commissioner, and of 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.640 course the mission creep has crept out into all sorts now. 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.159 The same will apply to half a dozen pieces of 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.120 legislation that have come through the Digital id Act being 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.000 one of them, and of course this Combating Misinformation Bill 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.040 will morph into bigger and badder forms of censorship. It's 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.280 bad enough as it is at the moment, but this 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.000 is indicative of where it heads. We need to defeat it. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.399 This is a message for the cross bench in the Senate. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.640 They need to understand that this can flip on both 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.800 sides of politics. This is not a left and right issues. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.280 This is a free speech issue. And we've got to 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.520 see this clearly for what it is, because I'm worried 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.480 that there is a push on from even more power 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.000 after the Combating this Information Bill passes. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.920 If it does, which we hope it doesn't. 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.919 Well, where does it stand in the Upper House, are 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.600 the crossbenches likely to support it, and what's your feeling 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.360 about its chances of passing? 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.520 Well, Look, I mean from the limited discussions that I've 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.639 had with some of them, they seem to be across 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.840 the fact that it's bad law, and I hope that 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.520 stands the test of time. I mean, I'll certainly be 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.600 doing what I can to speak to anyone who will 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.760 vote against this. What I'm worried about, of course, is 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.760 that amendments come in and we get watered down into 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.520 a slightly less worse version of an already terrible piece 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.760 of law. That's what I think we need to be 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.560 fearful of. This doesn't need to be amended to a 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.640 satisfactory position. This needs to be scotched and thrown out 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.800 the door and never repeat it, because it's bad for everyone. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.200 Whether you are a person who thinks that there should 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.800 be treaty for indigenous people in this country, or you're 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.000 a person that wants to be told what to do 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.359 with their own health care, it doesn't matter. 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.320 This bill is bad for business. 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.640 Oh, It's absolutely bad. And like the Voice, like something 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:09.720 that was going to enshrine racial division into the constitution. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.560 This is just bad on its face, it's toxic, it's poison. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.439 We don't needed watered down, we needed gone. So I 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:23.160 do genuinely hope that the cross benches don't get bribed 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.720 or don't get influenced by the bay of the Albanezy 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.199 government and stick to their guns, because if this comes in, 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:34.280 it's going to impact everybody. Though sadly, Alex, so many 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.200 on the left these days seem to favor these sorts 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.920 of laws. They do want to see free speech curb. 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.199 They do want to see their political opponents suppressed. 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:46.880 Yeah, look it's right. 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.240 I had a conversation with Michael Schellenberger, of course, who 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:53.560 is from the progressive left in Berkeley in California. Can't 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:57.240 get much more left wing than that, and that model 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:59.960 of left wing, I think is a very different beast 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:04.280 to the new modern, cosmopolitan, authoritarian version of the left, 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.280 and people like him can see it. Unfortunately, I'm not 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.080 sure that's transcribed properly across to the Australian left, to 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.440 many of whom think it's quite okay to scotch free 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.600 speech if it suits your political narrative. That shouldn't be 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.800 the way any of us behave, and the Bill needs 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:20.520 to be defeated. 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:24.680 Senator ALEXANDIQ. Thanks for your time. 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:26.359 Thanks reader. 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:32.119 Still to Carmi your favorite segment, Lefties Losing It and 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.240 the latest from the US, including black and Hispanic voters 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.320 walking away from the Democrats. Army Horowitz is up next. 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.719 Welcome back. Now it's time for Lefties Losing It And 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.680 to the Ladies of the View, the bitter, mean spirited 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.880 d Lulu Ladies of the View, here is Sunny Houston 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:04.359 calling black men Cuban men who vote for Trump ridiculous 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:05.120 and crazy. 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.800 You've got fifty three percent of white women that voted 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.080 for him in twenty twenty. We've got to reach those women. 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.480 We've got to reach those ridiculous, crazy black men that 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.640 did vote for Trump. We've got to reach those people. 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.600 We've got to reach the Cuban men in Miami that 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:22.280 overwhelmingly voted for Trump. I don't know what their hearts 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:22.719 look like. 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.800 That should be part of Trump's next ad. He'll set 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:29.439 records for the black vote. If more black folk knew 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.840 how the elite Democrat class look at them. And if 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.760 you want to know just how wacky Sonny is, listen 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.480 to her say just last month that Joe Biden's legacy 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.399 will rival George Washington's. I wish I was kidding. 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.240 I truly believe that his legacy will be etched in 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:52.239 the history books as Washington as someone who put that 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:55.760 ego aside and put his country in her So he's 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:56.840 definitely his leg. 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.880 It's still funny every time I hear it. Now, let's 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.680 from some black men who are voting for Trump, even 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:08.000 as this shopkeeper who's interviewing them tries to convince them 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.160 to vote for Kamala by the vote. 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:11.760 Yeah, who you vote for Trump? 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:13.680 Come on, bro, Harris thu us backwards? 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:15.840 Broke what Harris Man? 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.040 We're not We're not voting for that man. He's voting 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:18.480 for Trump. 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:20.280 Man, I'm black, So why are you riding with Trump 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:20.560 so much? 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:22.760 The Venezuela is taking all our bread? 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:26.920 Added Trump or Kamala Trump? Be honest? Why Trump? 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.440
