WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 11 June

0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>On scords Ostrodio. This is the Reader Panalty Show.

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and welcome to the readA panicky show. Coming

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 2>up on tonight's program, Opposition leader Peter Dutton attacked by

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>the media, big business and smaller liberals. Will an energy

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:25.279
<v Speaker 2>policy that prioritizes costs and reliability over emission cuts be

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>a winning strategy for the coalition. I'll speak with Nick

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Kata about that shortly.

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Also tonight we'll look at the teacher shortage and the

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 3>fallout on the King's Birthday honors list, and we're checking

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 3>on the Leader of the Free World with Adam B.

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Coleman, and of course Left is losing it.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 4>Did you know that queer and trans people actually experience

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.279
<v Speaker 4>time completely differently to sishap people. It's a concept called

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 4>queer temporality.

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Joining me now is Harold's son columnist Patrick Carline. And

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>let's start with the King's Birthday on his list. A

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>poll in the Herald Sun shows that ninety five percent

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 2>of respondents did not believe former Premier Dan Andrews deserve

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>the nation's highest King's Birthday on after he received a

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Companion of the Order of Australia award. Even a clear

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>majority of age readers thought the same, Only four inten

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:26.279
<v Speaker 2>saying Andrews deserve this award. Patrick, there is a real

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>depth of ill feeling here.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 5>It's visceral read it's too soon.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we're still recovering from lockdowns and Victoria we

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 6>had record lockdowns.

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 5>And we feel ripped off.

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 6>There is a very vocal and significant minority if you

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 6>look at elections who really can't stand Dan Andrews and

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 6>can't can't stand to see him held up in lights.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 6>And if you look at the award, it was for

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 6>explicitly mentioned health and infrastructure. Now by any measure, by

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 6>any measure, you'd say, well, that's a blotted record at best.

0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 5>It's too soon.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Is too soon at a time when the health outcomes

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 2>in Victoria where the worst in the country on every

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>metric that matters, whether you're talking about the death rate,

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>whether you're talking about the amount of time we spent

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>under lockdown, whether you're talking about the devastating economic consequences.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>As for the projects, every project is grotesquely over budgets,

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>So how can you be awarded for that for just

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>green lighting projects where the state is in record debt.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>It cannot afford it. We've had projects cut like the

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Commonwealth Games, costing its hundreds of millions of dollars not

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 2>to hold the games. Just the rationale behind this award

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>again seems to be bizarre. Is there a way to

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>get some understanding of how they came to this decision,

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>if there was any debate about it before they decided

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>to go ahead.

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, look, the process is somebody nominates you, and I

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 6>think there's references and so on, but it's all fairly

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 6>secretive in the sense that we don't actually get to

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 6>see transparently.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 5>How this came about.

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 6>And I think you look at somebody like Kevin rud

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 6>or Jeff Kenneth, two divisive politicians, very different politicians from

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 6>one another. They got AC's eventually well after they've been

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 6>in office, and they did actually do things in servers

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 6>that was recognized in those awards. To have this happen

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 6>so soon, it is too soon. It is ridiculous, and

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 6>it is very upsetting to a lot of Victorians.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just funny that a man who has been blacklisted,

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>we are told from golf clubs across the Mornington Peninsula, yes,

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>has not God the highest honor. We've got available in

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>this country. I've got a piece in tomorrow's Herald Sun.

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>It's online now. About this week has to be the

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>final straw for the honor system in this It has

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>been hopelessly pillarticized and needs to be replaced. The entire

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>process needs to be reviewed because this isn't isolated. It's

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>not just this year's awards, and this year it's not

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 2>just Dan Andrews. You've got former WA governor, governor in

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>US politics, Premier Mark McGowan and leftist activists and our

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.559
<v Speaker 2>new governor General Sam Mouston also getting the highest honor.

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>And I would question the merits of both those awards

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>going to two people who've been richly rewarded for their

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 2>roles in public life.

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't think people Australians want to see people recognize

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 6>for just doing their job. And look at Stan's accused

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 6>as it is, has been politically corrupted by these.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 5>Kinds of awards and the tracks.

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 6>The really sad thing is there's so many worthy people

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 6>who have given of themselves, who have done things above

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 6>and beyond, whether it's in science or the arts or

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 6>music or whatever. They deserve to be recognized. Police actually

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 6>tarnishes what they have achieved.

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see it go to unknowns, go

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to people who volunteer, who devote their life to helping

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>others for no reward, financial or otherwise. I think these

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>sorts of awards should be reserved almost exclusively for them.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the occasional heroic feat that we all know about,

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>but not to politicians and lifelong public servants. Now let's

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 2>talk about Victoria police. They were pelted with bottles spat

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>on at a pro Palestinian rally. They've slammed the protests

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 2>as extremely hostile and disgusting. About three thousand people were

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 2>again marching through Melbourne's streets. This was on Sunday. The

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Australian Palestine Advocacy Network they dispute the police's version of events,

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>but here is some footage showing police officers being harassed

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>by these protesters.

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 4>Run Run your.

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 5>Dog.

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 2>You can see there the police walking off as they're

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>being called every name under the sun, as their mothers

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 2>are called every name under the sun. These activists, these protesters,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>seem to have little fear of the police.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 6>There has been a lack of respect throughout the whole

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 6>sort of protest movement since October seven. Hasn't there a

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.679
<v Speaker 6>complete lack of respect for the police also the Jewish

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 6>community which feels unsafe. You'd like to think that they

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 6>have overplayed the hand by now in the sense that

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 6>most of the Australians are saying, hang on, this is

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 6>this is not a peace protest. This is not about

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 6>making the world a better place at its extremes. It's

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 6>about annihilating a country and breathing its people. And I

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:59.119
<v Speaker 6>think most Australians, apart from the Greens, perhaps actually looking

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 6>at this and saying, hang on, look, it's awful what's

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 6>happening in Gaza. But there are hostages there. You can

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 6>understand why it has come about. The reason it has

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 6>come about is because of a terrorist organization called Hamas.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, But if I could almost guarantee, because we've seen

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 2>this happen overseas, if you went along to one of

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>these protests and you held up an anti Hamas sign

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>so nothing else about this conflict other than Hamas are terrorists,

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 2>you would be attacked by these protesters. So that tells

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 2>you where we're at. And I think police command deserve

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 2>a great deal of blame for what we just saw

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>there because they have allowed a lot of this to happen.

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>We saw them come down on anti lockdown protesters who

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>were peaceful, and then this lot are just given free

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>reim to do what they like. Talking about Israel, we've

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>seen now footage released of the dramatic moment that the

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 2>forces stormed a house that was holding hostages, taken October seven.

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 7>W goodness, I didn't terrifying.

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Almost looks like a video game. You can't believe that's real.

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 2>And you may have noticed the fist pump between the

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the hostages and a rescuer there. And despite

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 2>the wonderful news of these hostages being recovered after eight months,

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 2>we've got the likes of the Greens in this country,

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Patrick questioning the manner in which the Israelis went about

0:08:58.920 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>this rescue mission.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 6>Yes, look, I think the Greens are out of step

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 6>with what Australians believe in and values. I think if

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 6>one hundred and forty or one hundred and fifty Australians

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 6>were taken hostage by another country, every Australian would want

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 6>this country to do its best to get them back.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 6>And that's what's been forgotten in this whole debate in Australia,

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 6>and has been hijacked by the Greens. Is Israel, you

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 6>would expect any country to go and get its own people,

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.559
<v Speaker 6>say of its own people. Again, it was a terrorist

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 6>organization that made all this happen.

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.719
<v Speaker 5>These awful scenes that we see in.

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 6>Gaza are not because of Israel, not because of anything

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 6>Israel did on October seventh. It's because of what happened,

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 6>because of what Hamas chose to happen. And look, that

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 6>footage is critical. Everyone should see that because it as

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 6>a reminder of what this actually is about.

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 2>And they lost a commander during that rescue the Israelis,

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 2>so it was a highly risky operation. And I can

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 2>and I think everyone, if they're being honest, would admit this.

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 2>If it was your child who was taken hostage by

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 2>these terrorists, you would want them back at any cost.

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>And to now scrutinize how they went about it, I

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>think again you're holding Israel to a different standard than

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 2>just about every other country. Now to a wonderful piece

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 2>in Today's Daily Telegraph by Tim Blair, here is written

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 2>about the climate cult, noting that liberal leader Peter Dutton's

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 2>entirely reasonable review of our self destructive support for the

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Paris Agreement is now nudging Prime Minister Anthony Alberan easy

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and climate tantrum bluster them in start Chris Bowen towards

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.199
<v Speaker 2>the lava line. The lava line, you need to read

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the full column to get that line. But this is

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>self destruction and it seems the Labor government is doubling down.

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 2>The Australians revealed that they're now looking at hiking our

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 2>carbon emission targets. In response Tod's comments, is this going

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 2>to be alban easy pushing the self destruct button or

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:14.119
<v Speaker 2>is he on safe ground here because once Scott Morrison

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 2>committed the Coalition to net zero, we stopped debating this

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 2>issue in this country.

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 5>That's right.

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 6>Look, the one point I would make is if you

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 6>go to a barbecue these days, nobody's talking about the

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 6>Paris Agreement and whether we're.

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 5>Holding up what we have to do.

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 6>We're talking about energy prices, we're talking about blackouts in

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 6>the future, we're talking about reliability or something that we're

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 6>taken for granted for generations and suddenly it's all up

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 6>in the air. And to sort of say well, no,

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 6>when you have this mission, this is our ideology, we're

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 6>going to make it happen everybody else. All the experts

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 6>say the renewables target is not going to happen. It's

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 6>not going to happen by twenty thirty, and people want

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 6>to know that their energy can be reliable and can

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 6>be relatively cheap. And that's something that I think Albani

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 6>and certainly Chris Bowen have lost sight of when they're

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 6>talking about this, and I think they've misread the electorate somewhat.

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I think they have because they've had the advantage of

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>not debating the Coalition on this. The Coalition has signed

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>up to these net zero targets, and if there's a

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 2>real debate, I think they're going to be surprised by

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 2>where many Australians land. Not the media, they'll have the

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>media on their side. Labor before you go, I've got

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 2>to ask you about this. The Canadian Cancer Society has

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 2>apologized for using the word cervix in pamphlets and website

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>pages about cervical cancer. They acknowledge that they should use

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the more gender inclusive word front hole. I wish I

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>was joking, I'm not. In their apology, they said, we

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 2>recognize that many transmen and non binary people may have

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 2>mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like cervix.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>You may prefer other words such as front hole. We

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 2>recognize the limitations of the words we've used, while also

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>acknowledging the need for simplicity. Another reason we use words

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 2>like cerfix is to normalize the reality that men can

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:23.680
<v Speaker 2>have these body parts. To Patrick arm for one, speechless.

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 6>I think if you go to the oncologist and the

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 6>oncologist starts talking about your front hole problem, or if

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 6>you're a man, your golf ball problem or e reilling problem,

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 6>I think at that point you'd probably find another oncologist.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.439
<v Speaker 2>You would and you would hope that they would seek

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>some sort of professional help themselves, possibly in the mental

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>health space. Patrick Carline, always a pleasure, My pleasure. Joining

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.559
<v Speaker 2>me now is Nick cat from their Mensi's Research Center,

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>also a senior columnist with The Australian. Nick Let's start

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 2>with this piece from Alan Cohla in the New Daily.

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 2>He says it's time for Australia to switch off gas

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>if it wants to achieve its net zero emission target,

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>saying we should pay households to switch their gas appliances

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 2>to electric and we should also pay cattle farmers to

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 2>either offset their methane or remove it in some way.

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Col also rights. The question is going to be weather

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and how to encourage or force the gas companies to

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 2>keep supplying the laggards who like cooking and heating with

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>gas while they're persuaded or subsidized to buy a better

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 2>electric induction stove.

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 5>Neck.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Victoria is already sadly heading down this road with banned

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 2>new gas connections in our new homes that are being built.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 2>But is this war on gas going to achieve anything

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 2>useful for the Australian population.

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 8>It's going to achieve nothing full except make it harder

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 8>for people to get buy and live.

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, with the cost of living as it needs.

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 8>Is mister Kolo on his well paid job whenever he

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 8>gets paid saying oh, well, I'm sorry, you've got to

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 8>go and buy a new cooker. It is absurd, because

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 8>this whole war on gas is absurd. I mean here

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 8>in Europe. I'm in London at the moment, but they've

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 8>just had a European election and the big issue was

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 8>one of the big issues was immigration, the second was energy,

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 8>and what people were saying was we don't want to

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 8>go along with this, and the whole tide of the

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 8>debate has changed. And it's all because a gas reader,

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 8>because they were buying gas from Russia, as you know,

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 8>and it went through the roof. You need gas in

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 8>the interim. I mean, if we'd love to, we could

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 8>put nuclear right away. We haven't got it. But in

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 8>the meantime, we're going to need gas to power up

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 8>our electricity system. We're going to need it to make

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 8>fertilizer for farmers, We're going to need it for industrial processes.

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 8>You know, this green hydrogen thing is some dream in

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 8>the heads of people like Alan Cola.

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a long way down the track, you know.

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 8>Just just get realist what I'd say on this, besides

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 8>which it'll do absolutely zero to help the planet, zero

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 8>or so small that you can't even read it, you know,

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 8>it's tiny.

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned the EU elections green and left leaning parties

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 2>that took a beating, who had so called far right

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>parties making huge gains. They campaigned not just against immigration

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 2>nick but also they campaigned against net zero policies. Should

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>our politicians take note of what is happening across Europe?

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely they should, because the two issues are big in Australia.

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I think if you were to sum up

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 8>the European vote, people were saying no to net zero,

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 8>yes to no immigration. You know they don't want more immigration.

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 8>And the whole debate over net zero and the cost

0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 8>it's adding to people, the pain it's putting on farmers

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 8>that the electricity bills have gone through the roofing countries

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 8>like Germany and Ireland where they're heavily reliant on gas.

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.640
<v Speaker 8>You know, this whole thing is just collapsing very quickly

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.199
<v Speaker 8>in Europe. Most countries are now admitting they're not going

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 8>to get to their twenty thirsty targets because they can't.

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 8>The whole thing is impossible in the timeframe, and sooner

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 8>or later, of course Australia will come to that position.

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 8>Even Antoni at in the Albanizi and Chris Bowen mind,

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 8>I suspect they won't come to it till about twenty

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 8>twenty nine. But you know it's not going to happen.

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.680
<v Speaker 8>You cannot meet those targets in that space of time

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 8>with the technology you have full stop.

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Any engineer will tell you that.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Now you wrote a fantastic piece for the OS warning

0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Australia's climate lobby that ambitious green energy targets that they're

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 2>trying to implement, Yeah, have not worked in Germany. Tell

0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 2>me about what's happened in Germany because they turned their

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:05.719
<v Speaker 2>back on nuclear, that went down the renewaballs road hard

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and the results of being almost catastrophic.

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.719
<v Speaker 1>It's been disastrous for Germany.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 8>This is you know, they were the poster child Europe's

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.399
<v Speaker 8>post a child of green energy. And I caught the

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 8>train from Hamburg to Berlin and every field it seems

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 8>is covered in solar panels and windmills.

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>But it's not doing the trick.

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 8>As they found out, you know, when the gas supply

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 8>went up, you know, the price of gas went up.

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 1>They were just really really hurt. And now the you know, the.

0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 8>Electricity price in Germany is the highest in Europe. It's

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 8>about twice as high as it is across the water

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 8>there in Sweden where they're running on nuclear and hydro electricity.

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And this is affecting industry.

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 8>Thirty percent of German businesses told their big Chamber of

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.439
<v Speaker 8>Commerce in a survey that they were looking to relocate offshore.

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 8>And this is happening and see German industries declining very quickly,

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 8>and they're moving when they can to places where there's

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 8>cheaper electricity. It's been a disaster for Germany and it's

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 8>bringing about their industrial collapse. Once that great country where

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 8>we used to you know, we always to go there

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 8>for oudies and washing machines, you won't be getting those

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.919
<v Speaker 8>from Germany for much longer because they basically stuffed it all.

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Up and all entirely self inflicted and I would say predictable.

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 2>And they were warned, they were warned about the path

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.440
<v Speaker 2>they were taking. They were warned that they were far

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 2>too reliant on Russian energy. I remember Trump warning them

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 2>during a speech and they were the German contingent there

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it was at the UN were sitting there

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 2>snickering like schoolgirls instead of actually heeding the warning they

0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>were told. And they've ignored it. And it would be

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>absolutely absurd for us to ignore what's happening in Germany

0:19:58.720 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, Nick.

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it would. And you know I made the point

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 8>in the column. It's now twelve years since Angela Merkel,

0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 8>mysteriously well actually under green pressure, said we're not going

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.199
<v Speaker 8>to We're going to phase out our nuclear plants so

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 8>they've had twelve years to work out how to power

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 8>their electricity grid without nuclear, without using coal, without using gas.

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 8>And these are the German engineers, the same German engineers

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 8>that gave.

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>You vorce frung Dirk technique.

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 8>You know, they are the best in the world, and

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 8>they can't work it out and the country is suffering

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.959
<v Speaker 8>as a result. They've just reopened eight coal mines in

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.639
<v Speaker 8>the last two years, would you believe, because it's cheaper

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 8>than getting gas in from overseas. They actually knocked down

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 8>one wind farm to build it to dig up some coal.

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 8>That's telling you something isn't there. But you know somehow.

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 8>Chris Bowe, he was in Germany last year. He didn't

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 8>spot any of this. Apparently he just thinks Germany is

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 8>the great vision of the future.

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 1>We have to follow. Dream on, mister Boone, dream on.

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're hearing that the Coalition is war gaming and

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the possibility of an early election. As the Prime minister,

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 2>it prepares to fight on energy as a major issue.

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Dutton's gaining a recent News poll two party per thirty

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.719
<v Speaker 2>it was fifty to fifty. The Libs primary vote had

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 2>gone up and the Australian reveals that Anthony Alberanzi is

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 2>going to use even higher carbon emission targets to fight

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the coalition. Do you see that as a winning strategy? Nick,

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Because much of the media is already attacking Peter Dutton

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 2>for restarting the climate walls, as they call it, We've

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:48.199
<v Speaker 2>got elements of the business sector also campaigning for what

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 2>they call certainty Canton strategy work if he has the

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 2>media and big business against him.

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.919
<v Speaker 8>Look what they're trying to do, business and labor, and

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 8>I think of those as one block these days. What

0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.199
<v Speaker 8>they are trying to do is return to the debate

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 8>that oh, you're a climate denier. Now that debate ended

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 8>the moment that the coalition signed up to zero twenty

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 8>fifty for better or worse. Right now, it's all about

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 8>how you get there and how expensive it is.

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>And people know this is a distraction from labor.

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 8>Let's make this about the climate wars again, so that

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 8>nobody's sort of asked salt ul questions like what happened

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 8>to that two hundred and seventy five dollars that you

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 8>promised you were going to take off my electricity bill.

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:39.160
<v Speaker 8>Labor is just desperate on this and it won't work

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 8>Greta because most people in Australia, as we know, if

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 8>you do a survey on this, actual climate change and

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 8>zero emissions is way down their list of concerns right now,

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 8>way way down. And it's I think it's a recipe

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 8>for losing as because I think we're going to see

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 8>the same trend that we have here in Europe that

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 8>people are just going to switch away from green parties

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 8>and say, well, you know, you're off with the fairies.

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>We're not going there with you. We're just not going there.

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Now you're in London, the election there is just a

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 2>matter of weeks away. What's your feeling we're looking at

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>a labor landslide. All the polls are indicating that Forarjas

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>entered the race quite late. If you were a betting man,

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 2>what would your.

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 8>Prediction be, Well, I wouldn't be putting any money on

0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 8>Rishi Sudak night. Now I think the betting well, the

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 8>way the betting is running here is how many seats

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 8>are the toy is going to end up with, And

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.400
<v Speaker 8>there are people seriously saying it will be less fewer

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.679
<v Speaker 8>than one hundred seats. It'll be the worse result I

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 8>think since the beginning of the last century. It's going

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 8>to be a landslide for labor. The question is how

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 8>big is that landslide and how much of the Tory

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 8>Party is left. Nigel Farage's party, of course, is making

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 8>big inroads into the Tory vote and then a first

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 8>past the system that's really damaging. But Faraj himself will

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:08.160
<v Speaker 8>not win many seats, you know, three four I would

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:11.240
<v Speaker 8>pretict at most because of the way their boundaries fall

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 8>and the way the election plays out. But he'll help,

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 8>you know, push the Tories into oblivion. I mean, let's

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 8>be honest. I mean a government that has been in

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.160
<v Speaker 8>a longer they have. You know, no government's had five

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:26.520
<v Speaker 8>terms in Britain I think for almost two hundred years.

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 1>So they're not going.

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 8>You know, they couldn't effect five terms in the best

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 8>of times, and so they're gone.

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>But it would be nice to see.

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 8>Them have at least be the official opposition and not

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:39.679
<v Speaker 8>give that away to the Lib Dems, which is a

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 8>real possibility if they do as badly as the worst

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:45.639
<v Speaker 8>people the worst predictions.

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's let it be a warning to Codition party,

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that's true, but let it be a warning to conservative

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 2>parties everywhere, including here, including our state liberal parties, that

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 2>this is what happens when you can depletely lose sight

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 2>of your principles and govern like labor lighte. You just

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 2>have no supportive base to speak of. Nikota, thank you

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.360
<v Speaker 2>so much for your time this evening, and still to come.

0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:17.160
<v Speaker 2>We've got a extended version of Lefty's Losing it and

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden let's loose at a Juneteenth event as black

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 2>voters fleeing his campaign.

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Adam B.

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Coleman joins me, next, welcome back. Now it's time for

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 2>lefties losing it. And have you ever considered that time

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:46.879
<v Speaker 2>itself could be transphobic? You better throw away your quocks

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 2>because this next last claims that queer and trans people

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 2>actually experience time completely differently.

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Did you know that queer and trans people actually experience

0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 4>time completely differently to sis happy. It's a concept called

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 4>queer temporality, and it basically has to do with the

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 4>fact that historically, as queer and trans people, our lives

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:11.919
<v Speaker 4>have started much later and for a whole bunch of reasons,

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 4>ended earlier than our CIS counterparts. So as a result,

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 4>our experience of time is compressed.

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 2>OO wowe, there's a lot to unpack there. What else

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't we know about the passage of time? I could

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 2>not be more fascinated.

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 4>Those milestones that we've been socialized to use to mark

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 4>the passage of time to things like marriage or having

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 4>a children or you know, working, retiring, inheritance, things like

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 4>that haven't been accessible to us. And that linear timeline

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 4>has a name, heterochronology.

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 2>There you go, you learn something new every day. Didn't

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 2>know queer folk were prevented from working and retiring. Now

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to Lefty Losing It Headquarters MSNBC, which makes the crazy

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.359
<v Speaker 2>folk at CNN look calm and rational. Here's Adrian L.

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Rod claiming that it's Trump foreign policy that folks need

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 2>to fear, not the unholy mess Biden has made over

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 2>the past three and a half years.

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 9>And during these challenging times on the foreign policy front,

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 9>on the global front. Can you imagine having done on

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 9>trum back in the White House trying to manage all

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:27.560
<v Speaker 9>of this. I mean, President Biden's a seasoned foreign policy

0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:29.639
<v Speaker 9>pro He served, of course, as the chair on the

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 9>Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a long time. He has

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 9>these relationships with the world leaders that go very, very deep.

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:37.800
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to be reinforcing the.

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:40.400
<v Speaker 9>Fact that that's an important attribute that the president has.

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Adrian, I'm sure the American people are just terrified

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 2>of Trump returning them to peace and prosperity, to four

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 2>years of no new wars, of historic peace stills being

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:55.840
<v Speaker 2>struck between Israel and Musslim majority nations. Somehow that Biden

0:27:55.880 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 2>administration's profound weakness, emboldening the likes of China in a Russia,

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Iran in North Korea isn't making us safer. We're all shocked.

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Now back to Australia and the city of Melbourne in

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 2>the great state of Victoria, where the leftist government has

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 2>accrued record debt while pushing a relentlessly leftist agenda, and

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 2>where feral far left activists routinely block city roads for

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:25.680
<v Speaker 2>protests and they're not shy about abusing police. Listen here

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:30.159
<v Speaker 2>as they taunt the retreat retreating officers with things like

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:35.640
<v Speaker 2>run you son of a slut and U and rats

0:28:36.040 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 2>charming stuff, run run. I got to say, I do

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 2>feel for the police working at the cold face there.

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Woke overlords in police command have taken a knee to

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 2>this far left lunacy, whether it's BLM or they climate

0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 2>protests or these anti Israeli mobs. Time for some French

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:21.160
<v Speaker 2>folk losing it. The EU elections have just taken place

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and the results were shocking for left is with Europe

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 2>swinging hard to the right, and some folk took the

0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 2>news better than others. If you want a clueest to wife,

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>so much of Europe is swinging hard to right wing parties.

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 2>They want to cut immigration and abandon net zero and

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:55.720
<v Speaker 2>other new Marxist nonsense. Then look at these scenes from

0:29:55.920 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 2>not where in France where Antifa mobs break the window

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 2>of a building because it's flying the French flag. Yeah,

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine why folks are rejecting socialist lunacy. Time

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:37.440
<v Speaker 2>now to visit lawless California and here are folks achieving

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 2>social justice in Los Angeles. Just kidding, they're just ransacking

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 2>an auto Zone store.

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 10>The store is just completely trash in a tense, crazy situation.

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 10>There was a street takeover. This store was mob the

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 10>AutoZone it ransacking, flipping that store upside down. We also

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 10>see several people walking out with several pieces of merchandise.

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 2>And time now to check in on the Leader of

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the Free World here is celebrating the made up holiday Juneteenth,

0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and of course he has no idea what is happening?

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 11>Have you?

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 2>We did not manipulate that footage to make the president

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 2>look utterly lost and bewildered. That's all Joe, that's all natural.

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 2>And it didn't get any better when he got up

0:31:49.720 --> 0:32:15.600
<v Speaker 2>to dance or try to.

0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 11>No, I don't want to love nobody. I don't want

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 11>to love nobody.

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:19.360
<v Speaker 2>What's he doing with his hands? Again? That footage has

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 2>not been in any way manipulated. It's not Ai, it's

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 2>not a deep fake. That's the Leader of the Free world.

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Not sure who the bearded duty is in the sequent

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 2>dress who's dancing next to mister Kamala Kamala Harris's husband.

0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 2>But let's just watch a bit more of this.

0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:49.960
<v Speaker 11>I want to love nobody.

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's bring in Adam B. Coleman, founder of Wrong Speak Publishing,

0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:04.959
<v Speaker 2>an author at Adam bacolemanssubstat dot com. Adam first to

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:09.720
<v Speaker 2>tell my audience what Juneteenth is. Not many Australians would

0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 2>be across that, and what do you make of the

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:17.520
<v Speaker 2>president's obvious cognition of decline. They didn't seem to know

0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 2>what was happening.

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 12>Well, thank you for having me on Juneteenth is something

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 12>that really originated out of Texas because the last slaves

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:34.240
<v Speaker 12>who were notified that they were free were actually in Texas.

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:40.479
<v Speaker 12>So Juneteenth is supposed to signify that day when the

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 12>last of the slaves were freed in America. So it's

0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 12>really something that was more regional until it became a

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 12>national holiday. But it was more of a regional thing.

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 12>People have barbecues and stuff like that. It wasn't really

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 12>seen as a big deal, but it became more so

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:02.680
<v Speaker 12>a national holiday. And I guess in some ways it's

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 12>not necessarily a bad thing. It's a celebration of freedom

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:10.320
<v Speaker 12>in the United States. And as far as what's happening

0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:13.680
<v Speaker 12>with Joe Biden, I think there are a lot of Americans,

0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 12>including black Americans, who are concerned with his very obvious

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 12>cognitive to Colm, you know, when I was a Democrat,

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:26.160
<v Speaker 12>I saw the decline and I couldn't believe that they

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 12>were still pushing this man forward and somehow he won.

0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:31.879
<v Speaker 12>So it's only gotten worse since.

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:37.240
<v Speaker 2>It has. And even four years ago, I was playing

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 2>some footage a couple of days ago from his campaign

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:45.719
<v Speaker 2>into that twenty twenty, and the decline just in that

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 2>time is very obvious when you look at him back then,

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 2>and back then he wasn't great either. Now let's talk

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 2>about the WNBA. Not a topic we broached too often

0:34:57.360 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 2>on this program, but I've got to say it's got

0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 2>an attitude problem. They're breaking viewing records thanks largely to

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:09.920
<v Speaker 2>one single player, Caitlin Clark. But it's clear most of

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:13.560
<v Speaker 2>the young ladies are not ready for prime time. Some

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of them are claiming harassment when journalists ask them questions,

0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:23.279
<v Speaker 2>have you got a chance to reach out to Kitlander?

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Come on with her with that?

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 5>Have you got a chance to reach out to Kitland? Trinan?

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:36.279
<v Speaker 5>Have you got the chance? The Basketball war wants to know.

0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 5>Have you've got a chance to reach out to her?

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:41.440
<v Speaker 2>She was being asked about why she felt it was

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 2>appropriate to give Caitlyn Clark a hip and shoulder as

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 2>we call it in Aussie rules, and a lot of

0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 2>these Caitlin Clark haters are going to be happy because

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:54.919
<v Speaker 2>she has not been selected for the US Olympic team.

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 2>But I think she showed wonderful grace and gave a

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:02.399
<v Speaker 2>very high response when asked about this. Disappointment.

0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:05.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited for the girls that are on the team.

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 12>I know it's the most competitive team in.

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:09.960
<v Speaker 2>The world, and I know I could have gone either way.

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:11.799
<v Speaker 4>Maybe on the team and maybe on the team, So

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm excited for them.

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Adam, make me understand the vitriol this girl is copying.

0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:22.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a mystery to us watching on in Australia. She's

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:30.000
<v Speaker 2>making these athletes relevant, possibly profitable. Why they're hostile towards

0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:32.719
<v Speaker 2>her instead of being happy that they're finally getting some

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 2>attention for their league.

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 12>You know, I might have a different viewpoint on this

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 12>entire scenario, but I think much of it is somewhat

0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:46.400
<v Speaker 12>contrived from when she was in college. You know, I

0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:48.839
<v Speaker 12>know that she has a bit of a reputation as

0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 12>far as being a dirty player herself and trash talking.

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 12>Not necessarily be a dirty player, but trash talking. And

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 12>you know, I wonder if people are hyper focusing on

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 12>the racial narratives that happened during the NCAA tournament and

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 12>thinking that this is carrying on into the w NBA,

0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 12>when in reality, the WNBA, we might have jokes about it,

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 12>but it's still the professional league. These are grown women

0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 12>not college students, And just like any other sport NBA

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:20.719
<v Speaker 12>as well, there's hard fouls, things like this happen. So

0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:24.160
<v Speaker 12>I'm not sure if if it is vitriol or if

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:27.840
<v Speaker 12>we're just seeing typical basketball play and inserting a narrative.

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:31.600
<v Speaker 12>And I think sometimes we can be a little bit

0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 12>carried away as far as seeing this like a Kardashians

0:37:35.239 --> 0:37:39.040
<v Speaker 12>episode has to tune in tomorrow to see who dislikes

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 12>Caitlin Clark today. So I think that some of this

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 12>is just normal basketball stuff. As far as them not

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:51.879
<v Speaker 12>being able to handle the limelight, Yeah, they're not used

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:54.080
<v Speaker 12>to people paying attention to them or even know who

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:58.160
<v Speaker 12>they are, so you know, maybe they're comfortable with that.

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, there is definitely a bit of vitriol because you

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:06.560
<v Speaker 2>watch some of the press conferences where she's brought up

0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and now the players about her, and a couple of

0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 2>clips I've seen they've refused to answer any questions about her,

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 2>as if she's some sort of a non entity. So

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. There does definitely seem to be a resentment.

0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying it's racially based. The media narrative seems

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to be racially based, with the likes of Sunny Houston

0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:30.600
<v Speaker 2>on the view making a point about her race. But

0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's necessarily where the players are coming from. Now,

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:37.440
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about the polls. Donald Trump and Joe Biden

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:44.280
<v Speaker 2>are currently tied in Virginia, which is a massive surprise.

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Biden won Virginia comfortably in twenty twenty, and Governor Glenn

0:38:50.160 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Youngkein has said that Trump could be the first Republican

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:57.960
<v Speaker 2>president who takes his state in it twenty years. I've

0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 2>got to say, even on my most optimistic day, Adam,

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think Virginia was in play.

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:11.320
<v Speaker 12>Well, there's a lot of moving pieces that are happening

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:14.960
<v Speaker 12>right now. Obviously, there are people who are reacting to

0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:21.920
<v Speaker 12>him getting the felony charge in New York, many people. Obviously,

0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:24.960
<v Speaker 12>if you hate Donald Trump, this is your super Bowl.

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 12>But if you are indifferent or somewhat impartial, and you

0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:32.799
<v Speaker 12>look at all the different core cases that are popping up,

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:34.360
<v Speaker 12>and it seems like these are a bit of a

0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:38.040
<v Speaker 12>stretch of core cases that are or charges that are

0:39:38.040 --> 0:39:41.919
<v Speaker 12>being brought against him, because they are, you might be

0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 12>waking more people up than you realize. So I think

0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 12>the Democrats might be in this situation helping Donald Trump

0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:53.479
<v Speaker 12>more than they think. I do have a love hate

0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:57.320
<v Speaker 12>relationship when it comes to polling because prior to his conviction,

0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:01.720
<v Speaker 12>they're polling data that was showing that if Donald Trump

0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 12>was to actually have a felony while running for president,

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 12>that Independence would largely pull away from him. So I

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:13.279
<v Speaker 12>don't know if it's a change of viewpoint from Independence

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 12>or it's just a different poll and they're just getting

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:22.520
<v Speaker 12>different results. But I think the polls can show a trend.

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:25.960
<v Speaker 12>Maybe Virginia is closer than we thought. But at the

0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 12>end of the day, I don't think anybody, whether you're

0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 12>a Democrat or Republican, should take this as being some

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:34.080
<v Speaker 12>sort of victory or a loss. There's a lot of

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:34.839
<v Speaker 12>work to be had.

0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, November is a long time away. But we do

0:40:41.280 --> 0:40:44.440
<v Speaker 2>love the polls. And let's look at some of the

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:48.879
<v Speaker 2>crucial swing states. Some of the latest polling coming out

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 2>is showing nationally Biden and Trump even but in those

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 2>swing states it's a different story. He is leading in

0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 2>every swing state by the polls that we saw from yesterday.

0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:06.800
<v Speaker 2>And look at this poll of four of the swing

0:41:06.920 --> 0:41:13.279
<v Speaker 2>states of Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina showing massive margins

0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 2>to Trump, almost insurmountable, Adam, the margins we are seeing,

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 2>they're North Carolina seventy eight twenty two, Arizona sixty one

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:28.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine. And I do wonder whether there's a shift

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 2>happening in the culture. The Democrats have been so dominant

0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:38.799
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to pop culture, the celebrity sphere of influence,

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:41.400
<v Speaker 2>and my argument is they should have zero influence. No

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:44.960
<v Speaker 2>one should be listening to celebrities when they're determining their vote.

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 2>But the celebrity class do come in hard for the Democrats,

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 2>whether we're talking about Hollywood A listers or athletes or

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 2>rock stars. But this time there is just a small number,

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:01.560
<v Speaker 2>and it is a small number who are bold enough

0:42:01.600 --> 0:42:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to side went back in Trump. So it seems like

0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of celebrities are kind of like voting for Trump.

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:10.120
<v Speaker 7>Now, I mean, why do you think people were kind

0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:12.080
<v Speaker 7>of like changing their way of Like, I.

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:14.719
<v Speaker 10>Think we're just we just did our research and we're

0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:17.800
<v Speaker 10>just you know, we're not brainwashed anymore by the Left.

0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:20.600
<v Speaker 3>I can say that about myself.

0:42:21.000 --> 0:42:24.360
<v Speaker 10>All these years, I've been brainwashed, and I'm not anymore

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 10>American men.

0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:30.920
<v Speaker 5>I see them identifying with Trump.

0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:37.720
<v Speaker 12>La Trump, you're the man broing to the damn Travis.

0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:41.520
<v Speaker 5>Do what they're doing now, I'll be donated to you.

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's get it done. Adam, we don't have much time.

0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you think this will have any impact on the election.

0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:54.200
<v Speaker 12>Not really, But I do think it matters that Trump

0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:56.920
<v Speaker 12>is seen as a counterculture figure, so there might be

0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:58.759
<v Speaker 12>more and more people that come out. We're in the

0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:01.640
<v Speaker 12>celebrity class, who maybe you're on the fringe of the

0:43:01.680 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 12>celebrity class to say something. But do I think that

0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:06.520
<v Speaker 12>they're going to push anything over the edge now? I

0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 12>think burg of the people.

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Will Hopefully you're right, because I don't want celebrities from

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:16.960
<v Speaker 2>either side swaying anyone's vote. Adam B. Coleman, thank you

0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:20.160
<v Speaker 2>so much for your time. This evening still to come.

0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Teacher shortages are forcing schools to close classrooms. But what

0:43:25.320 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 2>is the real reason teachers are fleeing the profession? Colleen

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Harken joins me. Next you're watching the Rita Panney Show.

0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Joining me now is the national manager of the IPA's

0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Class Action program, Colleen Haarkean. Colleen, we've got more than

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:54.240
<v Speaker 2>fifteen hundred teaching positions vacant in Victoria, with some schools

0:43:54.280 --> 0:43:58.280
<v Speaker 2>having to split classes or shut early because they can't

0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:01.760
<v Speaker 2>find any educators to fill the spots. The Herald Sun

0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:05.279
<v Speaker 2>reports seven hundred and seventy one jobs were posted in

0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:09.800
<v Speaker 2>the past week. Last year, you might remember Dan Andrews

0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:14.520
<v Speaker 2>government announced teaching degrees would be free, graduate teachers even

0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:19.800
<v Speaker 2>being offered bonuses to subsidize their start of their careers

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:24.400
<v Speaker 2>in government schools or help them move to regional areas.

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Why is none of this working.

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, Rechad.

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:32.280
<v Speaker 13>That program that was announced last year actually doesn't start

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:35.319
<v Speaker 13>until this year and it takes four years part of it, Yeah,

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 13>four years for those students to get through the system.

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:41.560
<v Speaker 13>But the real question is will they ever be qualified

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:44.960
<v Speaker 13>to lead a classroom because our research shows it of

0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:47.520
<v Speaker 13>that four years that they're about to spend at the university,

0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:51.520
<v Speaker 13>only ten weeks of it is dedicated to the teaching,

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:56.400
<v Speaker 13>learning the skills to teach reading, writing, science, history. So

0:44:56.440 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 13>they'll spend the nearly ten weeks only ten weeks out

0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:02.719
<v Speaker 13>of their full fourth year university degree. So the priorities

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:06.480
<v Speaker 13>of the universities are really warped and undermining their ability

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:11.400
<v Speaker 13>to become competent and happy teachers, So that program to

0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 13>be fair of them will take while for it to

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:15.239
<v Speaker 13>work through the system. But it still doesn't mean we're

0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:17.839
<v Speaker 13>going to have capable and competent teachers at the end

0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:18.640
<v Speaker 13>of the four years.

0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:21.840
<v Speaker 2>So what are they spending their time on If so

0:45:22.000 --> 0:45:24.400
<v Speaker 2>much of it isn't on what you would expect them

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:27.200
<v Speaker 2>to be spending it on. What's the priority?

0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:32.160
<v Speaker 13>Well, the priority is like the national curriculum, it's woke content.

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 13>You know, university courses that are called things like is

0:45:36.120 --> 0:45:38.160
<v Speaker 13>skin color a pigment of your imagination?

0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:39.239
<v Speaker 2>For example?

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:45.360
<v Speaker 13>So the priorities in the university curriculum are as warped

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:48.479
<v Speaker 13>as the national curriculum. They're not prized prioritizing the skill

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.319
<v Speaker 13>set that's required to do the job, which of course

0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:52.840
<v Speaker 13>then means that the people who are coming at the

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 13>other end are not skilled in the job they have

0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 13>to do. To manage a classroom, our classrooms are some

0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:01.480
<v Speaker 13>of the worst in the world, are seventy first out

0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:05.640
<v Speaker 13>of eighty in the OECD in terms of classroom discipline

0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:07.680
<v Speaker 13>and requirement. And if you've spent four years of your

0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:11.240
<v Speaker 13>university degree learning how to be a global warrior instead

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:12.880
<v Speaker 13>of how to be a great teacher. That's not going

0:46:12.920 --> 0:46:15.319
<v Speaker 13>to be very satisfying at the end of the day.

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And if we're basically telling anyone who's got a

0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:24.279
<v Speaker 2>conservative ideology, you're not welcome in this profession because you're

0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:27.560
<v Speaker 2>going to just have to be indoctrinating kids relentlessly in

0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:31.959
<v Speaker 2>leftist group think. That's a large chunk of the potential

0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:36.200
<v Speaker 2>teacher pool that's gone. And we're also really not encouraging

0:46:36.280 --> 0:46:39.520
<v Speaker 2>men to enter this profession. It seems to be dominated

0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:41.720
<v Speaker 2>by women. And again, so you've got another fifty percent

0:46:41.760 --> 0:46:44.840
<v Speaker 2>of the population gone that can't be helping with the

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 2>teacher shortage.

0:46:45.880 --> 0:46:49.759
<v Speaker 13>Well, statistically, that's clearly true, but the real issue is

0:46:49.800 --> 0:46:54.200
<v Speaker 13>that teaching as a profession is not really sort of appealing.

0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:55.799
<v Speaker 2>To most people at the moment because of.

0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:59.520
<v Speaker 13>The conditions of the curriculum, of having the cross curriculum,

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.840
<v Speaker 13>priorities of prioritizing Aboriginal and torrest rate Islanders history and

0:47:03.880 --> 0:47:08.200
<v Speaker 13>cultures and sustainability ahead of actually the skill set that

0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:09.400
<v Speaker 13>the children require.

0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:13.200
<v Speaker 2>The way they in check that into every subject from

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:19.480
<v Speaker 2>music to mats is astonishing. Sustainability and what they call

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:21.040
<v Speaker 2>first Nations.

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:25.279
<v Speaker 13>Correct yeah, so that's a stated priority in the national curriculum.

0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:27.880
<v Speaker 13>So it doesn't state our priorities to make sure that

0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:30.560
<v Speaker 13>kids can read and write to become critical thinkers in

0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:34.240
<v Speaker 13>their own variety. It actually states the priority that sustainability

0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 13>in Aboriginal and touristate Island is what they should be

0:47:36.800 --> 0:47:38.239
<v Speaker 13>learning at every opportunity.

0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 2>And I do also worry about the state of our

0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:46.200
<v Speaker 2>universities because the hostile environment that's been fostered. They're the

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:50.239
<v Speaker 2>far left activism that is scaring off some Jewish students.

0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Some of them are deferring, declining to tend classes. And

0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:57.879
<v Speaker 2>then we've got people from all sorts of backgrounds, not

0:47:57.920 --> 0:48:00.879
<v Speaker 2>just Jewish students, who are self sense, who are really

0:48:01.000 --> 0:48:04.480
<v Speaker 2>scared to say what they think because they are worried

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:09.160
<v Speaker 2>about an attack from academics and their fellow students. It's

0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:13.280
<v Speaker 2>not a healthy culture we've built in academia, not at all.

0:48:13.480 --> 0:48:17.960
<v Speaker 13>And that the universities have rolled over to a small

0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:23.360
<v Speaker 13>minority with a very specific activist agenda is a terrible

0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:27.359
<v Speaker 13>precedent that has been set. Universities are supposed to be

0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:30.840
<v Speaker 13>places of the big contest of ideas and the freedom

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.880
<v Speaker 13>of speech, to position, to take your position on a

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:37.359
<v Speaker 13>point and argue it out, and that's not happening at all.

0:48:37.760 --> 0:48:40.760
<v Speaker 13>On that first day of those protests at Melbourne University,

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:44.880
<v Speaker 13>six thousand students were declined the opportunity to go to

0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:49.400
<v Speaker 13>their own classrooms so and learn, you know, enjoy the

0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:53.600
<v Speaker 13>subjects that they're paying to study. And the university is

0:48:53.600 --> 0:48:55.920
<v Speaker 13>a capitulating to this is a terrible problem.

0:48:56.440 --> 0:48:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I do worry about the learning outcomes because we've already

0:48:59.440 --> 0:49:01.799
<v Speaker 2>gone through that COVID era where we had so much

0:49:01.880 --> 0:49:05.280
<v Speaker 2>remote learning, and now some people are opting for remote

0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:09.680
<v Speaker 2>because the campuses have got encampments happening and all sorts

0:49:09.719 --> 0:49:15.840
<v Speaker 2>of protests and hostility, and the university heads don't seem

0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:19.360
<v Speaker 2>to be too concern They are more concerned about the

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:22.520
<v Speaker 2>overseas numbers coming in which are pop up the balance.

0:49:22.640 --> 0:49:25.959
<v Speaker 2>Sheeter Colin Harken. We could talk about this all day.

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for your time this evening. Really

0:49:28.160 --> 0:49:31.520
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. And that's it from me. I'll see you

0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:35.520
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night at eleven up. Next is Newsnight
