WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 3 April 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:06.840 From the sky Center. This is Paul Murray Live sang 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:08.320 your Rockstar, Welcome the man Cave. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:09.039 Come on in. 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:10.479 We'll do a winner and Loser of the week in 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:12.320 a moment or two time. Can I be very clear 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:17.079 off the star. I don't care that the Prime Minister 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:18.160 fell over today. 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:40.879 Photos with everyone, Okay. 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:39.080 I repeat, I do not care that Anthony Albanezi fell 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:56.680 over today. Human beings trip, we fall, we're clumsy. It's 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.160 what happens in the old days. We used to be 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.320 called UNCO. In fact, the Australian Institute of ruled me 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.279 to be an UNCO, which is why I've never been 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.600 able to compete in sport. What I kind of do 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.840 care about, though, is that the Prime Minister is well lying, 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.720 and he lies about many many things, but he's even 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.880 lying about whether he fell over today. This was the 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.840 live blog that was existing I think on the Citney 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.479 Morning Herald in the age. There you go watch PM 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.600 falls off stage. Next update, PM says he didn't fall 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:34.600 off stage. This is what he told an interviewer on 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.800 the ABC in Newcastle this afternoon. Remember I don't care 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.600 that he fell off. I truly don't. Human beings do 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.520 it Julia Gillard famously did it. Oh, we don't have 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.560 that tape. That would be wrong, that would be too much. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.680 But when he was asked about it, he pretended it 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:52.600 didn't happen. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.880 No, I stepped back one step. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.160 I didn't fall off the stage. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.600 Leg went down, but I was sweet. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.680 Okay again, I don't care. But he fell off the 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.680 freaking stage. Okay, two seconds, got back up. It's not 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.040 a metaphor for politics, but him lying about it is 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.840 an absolute sign that if you can't tell the truth 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.480 about even falling over, then how can you trust him 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.160 on everything else? Like I really care about cost of living. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.880 For some reason, people of the center left and people 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.680 like Albo truly think that they have the powers of 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.800 Obi Wan Kenobi to have a Jedi mind trick against 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.799 the week to make you forget what's pretty obvious when 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:43.440 you see it. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.080 Let me see your identification. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.200 You don't need to see his identification. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.680 We don't need to see his identification. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.920 These aren't the droids you're looking for. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.320 He's had the droid. We're lucky. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.639 Before he can go about his business, you can go 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.960 about your best move alone. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.840 Ah ah. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.120 And just to drive home the point that sometimes they 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.640 actually do think that they have Jedi powers. This was 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.960 a meme that Labour put up during the last election 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.919 May the Fourth which is as in, may the Force 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.680 be with you, but may the Fourth be with you. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.440 They actually did him up as a Jedi Knight. He 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.320 does not have the power to change people's minds, but 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.320 he thinks I did not fall off the stage. Again, 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.240 it doesn't matter, just make a joke. Oh look, it's 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.480 the most rest I've had this campaign. But this Jedi 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.320 mind trick is one that he has tried to use 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.520 for three years that he didn't promise of the last 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.760 election that and I quote, a Labor government will lower 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.720 the cost of living because then he'd have to be 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.760 held accountable for the cost of living going nuts and 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.160 he would have to be held accountable for it going 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:01.560 nuts and sending people broke. Now, I was amused to 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:06.320 see how he's a Pratorian guard in the six pm news. Well, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.240 how are they going to deal with this, because you 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.120 know they love a picture and these are the best 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.680 pictures you can possibly have. Again, it doesn't matter, but 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.240 how did they do it? Over at Channel nine. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:24.920 Even the most familiar surrounds can be slippery the Prime minister' 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.680 stumbling from the stage before bouncing back to cheers from 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.719 mining workers in the New South Wales. 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.240 Hunter bouncing back the metaphor that he can't keep a 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.240 good man down Channel seven in Melbourne, though they kind 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.600 of took an egg beater to it. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.280 Good evening, the Prime Minister is lucky to have avoided 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.719 serious injury after taking a major tumble on the campaign trail. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.719 Anthony Albanizi was posing for photos when he fell off 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.560 a platform this afternoon. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.200 Just just one last time, I do not care that 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:16.800 the Prime Minister fell over today. Thirty days to go 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.919 in this election, the end of the first of five 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.599 weeks campaigning. It's not just thirty days to go. More importantly, 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.960 nineteen days until the first votes are cast, depending on 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.440 your state, depending on whether you're private or public. School 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.000 holidays kick in as early as next week, so the 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.280 cover of look over There is going to be very 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.400 big with an awful lot of people. But as always 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.480 I'd like to tell you what happened during the day 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.720 rather than just what the six per News decided was 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.360 the most important thing to talk about, including the Prime 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.600 Minister's brush with death. As it was tonight on Channel seven. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.640 Come on, Verdi. Petty Dunnen was in Western Australia today where, 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.680 among other things, they made a major announcement I think 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.520 about six hundred million dollars for regional roads. And as 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.720 a person who at least once a month is out 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.200 there doing our town country roads are shockers. And there's 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.680 a promise that if there's a Dutton government they'll do 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:05.440 something about it. 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:11.240 An elected coalition government will fund a new program to 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.400 the tune of six hundred million dollars over the next 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.640 four years to support the supply chains for our agriculture 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:18.560 mining industry. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.200 Just me, I love when she wears the suits. She's 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.920 a very fashionable young lady. All right, let's keep going 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.200 here with the Prime Minister. And he today was in 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.360 the Hunter Valley of New South Wales making a whole 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.719 series of half announcements re announcements. That was him in 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.920 Victoria in fact, where he started off the day. Then 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.919 he made his way out and about today, you know, 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.040 to respond to Trump. I'll get to that in a second. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.200 A couple of protesters along the way, and as we know, 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.000 the media lover protester more than a story for. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:48.320 A new CONCAF company WANs on the line, I have 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.520 a safe place to say flight children. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.360 Now these people are posing as journalists, which means they're 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.840 able to get close enough to the Prime minister. One 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.640 of the things I love most about this country is 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.839 regardless of who the Prime minister is, regardless of whether 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.239 they are standing or falling, which again I don't care about, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.200 is that we have very close proximity. There's not the 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.000 huge rings of security. But it's going to get pretty 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.080 tough to be around these leaders in the next little while, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.880 because they obviously want to invite people from new media along. 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.000 But these people are using that to get close enough 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.040 to be able to cause the disturbances that they currently are. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.560 Also not particularly classy, and you're not really taking the 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.200 high ground when you're screaming in a hospital ward about 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.800 the future of the planet. Meantime, as we know, next 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.600 week the first of the leader's debates. It happens here 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.520 on Sky News and it's the best of them. Why 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.480 because it's not really about the leaders. It's definitely not 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.760 about the journalists. Is of course the People's Forum were 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.400 one hundred apparently undecided voters. While they get to ask 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.640 whatever they want of the Prime Minister or the prospective 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.920 Prime Minister. That's next Tuesday night in primetime here on 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:57.680 Sky News. A week later Wednesday night in primetime on 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.240 the ABC and no doubt simulcast here on Sky News 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.040 is that there will be a face to face studio debate, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.200 apparently the first time since nineteen ninety three that both 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.960 leaders have been in an ABC studio and our old 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.040 mate Speersy will be the one who will be calling 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.160 the balls and strikes in the middle of that. Meantime, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.720 the treasurers have confirmed that they too are going to 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.680 have a debate. It'll be here Sky News primetime Wednesday 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.360 of next week, so the day after the People's Forum, 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.119 and the climate ministers will be having a debate as well. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.559 This one will be at the National Press Club where 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.800 no doubt Chris Bowen will be playing a home game. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.600 But the debates are starting, which is good and nightly. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.400 Look at how the media spun it for the Prime 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.280 Minister did their best to give the benefit of the 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.520 doubt to the Labour Party. No giant surprise there, but 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.920 guess what. Plenty more examples again. I'll get to the 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.560 trump of it all in a moment or two time, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.680 but the soft questions. They were soft for the Prime 0:08:50.679 --> 0:09:00.520 minister today for the Greek quess iemon, I'm on the 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.800 road and you run out of these things as you do. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.240 Indeed, I mean you're so relief, right, I mean, this 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.960 is the best case scenario that we worked toys. Can 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.839 you promise that you're next tent? 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:15.360 If you are lucky enough to be successful enough to related, you. 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.240 Could stabilize this relationship with the United States even you've got. 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.120 A minimum ten percent? 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.440 Do you consider that a relatively good deal or the 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:23.280 best we have got? 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.560 Why did you buy toothpaste? Push the big issues? Meantime? 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.560 What was the ride that they were giving to Peter 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.520 Dutton today? A little different? 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.520 Are you too easily dismissing what five hundred dollars could 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.559 do to a family in a couple of years time? 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.560 So six hundred millions, as nice as a number as 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:47.320 it is, builds three hundred kilometers of road right around 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.240 the country. It's a nice number, but it's not a 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:51.080 big solution. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.800 There's there's plenty of carry. And how you would approach 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.240 dealing with Donald Trump? 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:56.240 Is there any stick? 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.480 You've been criticized by Collie residents though for not having 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.800 a discuss with them and hearing their concerns about nuclear power. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.840 And one of the people who sends the signals to 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.160 the media about how to play is old mate nasty 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.880 Nikki Sava that he self admitted liar about how she 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.840 used to do things as a journalist, and of course 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.400 puts the books together, no doubt, she's already got half 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.000 of one written thanks to mates like the bloke in 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:21.240 the Pink House, about how terrible Peter Dutton is. Well, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.679 remember she's the one who's already said and this was 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.840 when the polls were not very good for Anthony Abernezi. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.600 So she's going to have fun walking this one back 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.960 that regardless of what happens at the election, Albanzi should 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.680 get out of the way hand over to the next generation. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.520 I wonder whether that will continue to be the case. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.080 But of course she's all about hating Peter Dutton, and 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:45.360 today wakey Wakey Dunton looks shaky her review of the 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.680 first week and the alternative prime Minister who she will 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.560 not let get out of first gear. Remember we even 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.200 discussed immigration was racist. According to these people, he sounded 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.000 flat He's looked flat footed and seeming it seemed woefully 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.880 unprepared for a fight that he knew was coming on 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.960 a territory that he should already staked out. Meanwhile, Albanizi 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.559 has performed better and Labor has prepared better for the contest. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.559 Even handed journalism give all the awards now. Dutton has 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:14.079 also winged that Albanezi has wedged a sledgeth on against him. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.000 He sounds like a school bully. See see he's a 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.240 school bully, just like Turble. He's a thug. See how 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.080 they all kind of rally around the same words, complaining 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.800 to the teacher that one of the kids that he 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.520 has punched him in the nose, the one that he 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.240 picked on in the past. Anyway, he better tough enough, 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.120 because Labor will not stop it's mission, especially in Victoria, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.240 where Labor stinks, is to make him unacceptable. Labor could 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.000 maintain the status quo in every other state, then lose 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.839 the election in a state once seen as a stronghold. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.720 I'll talk about Victoria and I'll tell you why that's 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.360 the case in a moment of two his time, but 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.320 her partner in crime, remember the one who was also 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.440 worried that a ban on foreign buyers was going to 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.560 result in apparently different looking people don't know what that means, 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:06.160 will be attacked by evil racist, presumably white Australians. Remember 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.160 lefty Laura Tingle, Well, she used her platform there on 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.680 the ABC, which is an absolutely independent journalist, and remember 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:18.040 to criticize her is bad for the national debate. She 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.160 did a thing last night about cost of living where 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.320 she was trying a little bit of revisionist history that 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.240 put simply none of it's elbows fault, despite the fact 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.040 that again three years ago, the promise was he'd make 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.840 it better. It's all got worse. None. And of course 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:32.920 these were some of the insights. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.320 While they're not really blaming the government, there's not baseball 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.679 bats out for them. There is some ownership of the economy, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:41.319 that's for sure. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.000 There's no connection between the federal government and cost of living, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.960 and she found this very helpful polster to give an 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.080 insight into the best case or the half glass full. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.080 Of course, she had to criticize the opposition because you know, 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:58.600 she's even handed. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.600 The Urban Ezy government has introduced a range of policies 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.840 to try to ease the cost of living. The Coalition opposed, 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.160 or at least criticized many of these measures, arguing government 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.720 spending was keeping interest rates higher for longer. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.640 You know those things that even polls in the Guardian 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.160 show that five dollars in fifteen months doesn't touch the sides. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.880 The two little too tax cuts last year that were 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.199 twelve dollars for people on forty thousand dollars doesn't actually 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.040 change anything. And paying twenty five dollars to power companies 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.240 to make it look like power bills are stabilizing doesn't 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.160 actually make up for a promise that by this time 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.800 they were supposed to be two hundred and seventy five 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.320 dollars cheaper. But sorry, you're in the middle of a rant. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.200 Have you got anything more from that? Polster? 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.120 If this selection is a referendum on Labour's performance over 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.360 the last three years on cost of living, then they're 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.640 in a bit of trouble. What they will want to 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.240 do is make it about change and make it about 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.760 Peter Dunnan and will he make a difference? And that's 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.200 where they've got hope, because there isn't a great amount 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.839 of hope that changing government would necessarily change things. 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.160 Yes, and the economy is not really a government thing, 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.360 despite the fact that it was a real thing three 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:16.040 years ago. But that guy just got my brain ticking. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.280 Where where have I seen him before? Where I do 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.360 I know of him before? 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:20.160 Oh? 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.200 That's right, we have to go back to the Keven 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.040 oh seven days where he is one of the consultants 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.680 who's checking the electorate's mood for the Labor Party. He 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.480 also was apparently one of the people involved in the 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.280 Keven oh seven campaign, you know, absolutely independent person to 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.520 be able to tell us that cost a living well, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.680 it's kind of everyone's problem, not the government that has 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.720 promised to make it better, but it's all worse. Okay, 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:49.880 let's talk Trump and Liberation Day in the Rose Garden 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.440 in the White House. You know the story. By now, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.840 tariffs are going to be put on friend and foe 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.800 Australia thankfully ten percent bottom of the list. It is 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.320 ten percent on five percent of our global exports. Not 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.080 unimportant and very important for our farmers, but not exactly 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.680 the end of the Australian economy and a little bit 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.560 of a fizzer because the media has been building this 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:11.640 one up for weeks. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:18.480 Tariffs tariffs, tariffs, tariffs, tariffs, tariff terriffs, tariffs are tariffs, tariffs, 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.520 tariff tariffs, tariff tariffs. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.200 Tariff because remember this bloke, if he runs on his 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.880 own record, might get a little bit wobbly. Not that 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.320 he fell off a stage today again, I don't care 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.560 about that. But instead there were going to be new tariffs, 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.120 and they were going to be mega tariffs, and they 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.000 were going to come after the pharmaceutical benefit scheme. Remember 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.000 the stories that were around for weeks. Healthcare is going 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.280 to be attacked by evil Orange Man. The pharmaceutical benefit 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.960 scheme meaning cheaper drugs. This will be the focus of 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:53.560 an evil Trump. Don't forget. Musk and big Tech are 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:59.240 urging Trump to punish Australia instead. Again not insignificant, ten 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.960 percent on five percent of our overall exports, not insignificant, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:08.000 but in the end, compared to other countries, we copped 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.840 a tap, not a kick. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:16.240 Australia bans and they're wonderful people and wonderful everything, but 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.560 they ban American beef. Yet we imported three billion dollars 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.240 of Australian beef from them just last year alone. They 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:25.600 won't take any of our beef. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.920 Okay, so you know by now ten percent largely going 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.120 to be in and around Australian beef okay. But again 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.000 to put this into context and all of that hype 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.560 which is all about trying to save Anthony Abernezi from 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.080 his own record and trying to move the federal election 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.560 to being a referendum on Donald Trump because the majority 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:49.800 of Australians don't like Donald Trump. Well, it's here, but 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:54.280 in context, again, it is significant. I'm not pretending that 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.560 it is not. But if the overall countries that we 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.800 export to, if randomly a ten cent tariff was put 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:05.200 in place, say calling a country out for being the 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.639 potential origin, if not definite, origin of a flu that 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.520 ended up killing millions of people and shutting the country 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.760 down for two years, that would be significant, right, Because 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.240 China is the place where we send the most stuff. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.439 It is thirty two percent of all of our exports 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.480 at two hundred and nineteen billion. Japan is a thirteen percent, 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.280 Korea is it six percent, India is at five percent, 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.560 the US is at five percent. Meantime, the things that 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.720 we do send to the United States, so yeah, ten 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:41.600 percent extra on meat, on some but not all, of 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.680 our precious stones and metal because gold is not going 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.639 to be involved in this because you know, there's all 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:50.240 those podcasts adds about gold in the United States, medical 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.760 tech that's two billion dollars. Pharmaceutical products that's less than 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.600 two billion dollars and one billion dollars worth of machinery. Now, 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.240 I do not agree, do not support. This is ridiculous 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.840 that Australia is going to end up getting a tax 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.879 put upon us. It is just as ridiculous, but perhaps 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.320 not quite as much as what China did to us 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.280 for a couple of years. But sh don't talk about 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:19.800 that Orange man worse than President z Well. The reason 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.600 that America claims that they are able to put a 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.359 ten percent tariff on us is because, well, we have 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.040 little ways of charging things that are brought into this country. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.640 Now they're not tariffs, but there is a charge. If 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.600 you want to export something from a country and import 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.280 it into this country, there is a ten percent tax, 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.639 a consumption tax on all of those things that are 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.960 brought into the country. If you want to buy a 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.879 car worth eighty grand or more from the United States, 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.800 you'll have to pay luxury car tax. But of course 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.120 there isn't an Australian car industry. And then, of course, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.520 depending on what it is there's those little excise taxes, 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.000 you know, the ones that could be about everything from 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:04.960 petrol to tobacco, to beer, to spirits, to textiles, to 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:09.680 passenger motor vehicles to footwear, and those get forty three 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.960 billion dollars from the Australian government each and every year. 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.640 But this is a tectonic day. The number of journalists 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:21.359 that I've heard today what a wild? What's wild? I 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.280 totally disagree with the tariffs being put in place. I 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.880 am absolutely aware of the consequences that they will have 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.639 for our beef farmers in particular. I am not minimizing 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.760 that in any way, shape or form. But of course 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.479 this was about trying to put Donald Trump heart and 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.879 center of the federal election campaign. So here was the 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:45.080 reaction across the gamut. Let me be clear, they are 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:49.040 totally unwarranted. The world has changed as of today. This 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:50.320 is a bad day for our country. 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:51.480 This is a poor decision. 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.959 This was an announcement which is very disappointing. 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.480 Now, these escalating trade tensions do cast a dark shadow 0:19:58.640 --> 0:19:59.879 over the global economy. 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.040 As for the White House, they say, lie back and 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:06.280 think of Washington. 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:12.000 My advice to every country right now is do not retaliate, 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.639 sit back, take it in, let's see how it goes. 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.359 Because if you retaliate, there will be escalation if you 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.160 don't retaliate. This is the high water mark. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.600 Now. Thankfully there were plenty of even handed, non political 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.880 people who were out there to tell us that despite 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.080 the fact that the tax is to be paid by 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.639 going into America, therefore the cost of it goes up 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.360 in America, it will be us in Australia who will 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:38.240 have to pay more. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.520 These tariffs are going to have a big impact, especially 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.600 on our struggling producers out west. 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.720 Okay. Of course, you know again, I'm glad that we 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.879 have these non partisan people who are out and about. 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.160 Oh and by the way, help me out how this works. Apparently, 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.399 according to those that are starting to guess, the Reserve 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.520 Bank next meeting, which will not happen during the election 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.840 campaign but will happen after the election campaign, will be 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:09.680 one of apparently up to four cuts in rates that 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.879 will happen as a result of the global tariffs. So 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:17.280 help me out. Is it good or is it banned? 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.640 I want to talk about China because yes, they punished Australia. 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:28.760 Why because we wanted an investigation into the Wu flu that, 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.879 as I said, killed millions, shut down the world. But 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.600 nothing to see there, right, And of course if you 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.239 don't bring up such unpleasantness with the Chinese government, well 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.919 they'll call you a handsome boy, won't they. And of 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:45.520 course they'll get rid of silly tariffs that they put 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:48.159 in place. When it came to things like wine. Again, 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.040 when there was like a two hundred and something, it 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:54.720 was somehow Australia's fault and Australian media was blaming. But 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.840 of course when it's Trump anyway, who can follow the 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.480
