WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 10 June 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:07.200 On scoring US Australia is the Wader Panety Show. 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.200 Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panny Show coming 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.160 up tonight, a massive program. We've what the latest news 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.960 poll data to unpack the King's birthday honors, and Dan 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.400 Andrews and Mark McGowan are not the only two shockers 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:24.240 on that list. 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.400 The ABC promoting far. 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:31.560 Left activist Clementine Ford, despite her role in deliberately dosing 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:32.920 Jewish creatives. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.040 Europe swings to the. 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.760 Right, with right wing parties recording stunning results in the 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:43.559 weekend's EU elections. The always hilarious Alex Stein joins me 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:48.040 from the US and Kinsey Schofield will explain that awkward 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.159 moment between Queen Camilla and Bridget mccron. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.040 And of course left he is losing it. Do you 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.800 condemn what Hamas has done? 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:00.720 Yeah? 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.520 But first today further evidence that the honor system in 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:13.279 this country is completely and utterly broken. It has become 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.840 hopelessly politicized. Of course there are worthy recipients, but when 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.039 you have the likes of Dan Andrews, Mark McCowan and 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:27.039 Sam Mosten receiving the highest honor in this country, you 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.160 know something is desperately wrong. All three are highly political, 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.920 highly divisive, and unworthy of such an honor. Let's just 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.800 have a reminder of Dan's great work in the state 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.280 of Victoria, where we had the worst COVID response in 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.720 the country, but none the highest death rate, the greatest time, 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.880 the longest lockdown. Indeed, we were treated to six devastating lockdowns, 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.560 the results of which will be felt for many years 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.000 to come. This is a premier who imposed a curfew 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:04.040 on Victoria, effective house arrest, who banned playgrounds, who banned 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:08.760 IVF treatment, who lectured people about watching a sunset at 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:09.559 the beach. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:11.639 Was one of the. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:17.120 Most liminal, sweeping new restrictions, including a ninety perfume within five. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.600 Their homes so far taking their lives this year. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.720 Daniel Andrewslan Dan Andrews Turing Premier Dan Andrews Sunday, I 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.200 think is going to be quite a nice day at 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.120 home at home. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.320 Otherwise there'll be lots of Sundays spent in hospital. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.880 For two hundred days in hard lockdowns. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.760 Back to compliance and anyone who thinks your fish is 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.160 over and then Victoria police are. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.360 Out there turned to face facing the whole. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.040 Bunch of people down the right back beach last night 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.160 and thought the best thing to do was. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.120 To go and watch the sunset. Nine. I'm sure it 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.840 was a beautiful sunset. That's in the. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.040 Spirit of all these. 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.880 Walking masterless seconds before saying I. 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.640 Think all of us know people in our lives are 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.880 not necessarily following those rules the community compliance. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:04.200 As they stand there. 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.520 Why do you blame Victorians around one in four people 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.240 cannot be found at home instead of. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.720 Say, acknowledging your government's failures in protol protis. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:13.960 Oh, so that's a real question. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.720 I asked a few choices. The Premier admitted he doesn't 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.800 know if he made the crucial decision to use private 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.000 security in Victoria's quarantine hotel climate. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.320 Any mistakes and all mistakes I can't specifically recall, I 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:29.760 will be accountable. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.160 For those areas. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.840 Yes, I'd almost forgotten about the selective amnesia we saw 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.640 during the Coat inquiry, but I will never forget this, 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:39.800 and neither should you. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.760 That's hour. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:04:08.000 Yeah, she's pregnant, crying stuff now and. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:10.960 They're not shooting. 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.200 Let's bring in Skinnese contributor pro mcswaen Prue Daniel Andrews 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.960 god his award the Companion of the Order of Australia 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.240 in part for his services to public health during the 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.360 COVID pandemic. If they were writing a comedy, I'd understand, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.359 But this is real life and we exist in a 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.679 clown world at the moment, Prue, it's a clown world. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.640 It really is Reta. You know, this is a tragedy. 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.000 And when you relive that recent just that clip that 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.520 you just played, I mean that should be shown before 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:06.400 every election when you think this is Australia, this was Victoria. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.719 I mean I live in New South Wales. 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.120 We found it hard enough, but I cannot comprehend how 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:17.000 Victorians voted that boat bloke back in when you saw 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.440 what he inflicted on you. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.120 And to think that now that man is being. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:29.159 Rewarded by a political decision. Let's face it, the FEDS 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.480 have leaned on this council, the people who make these awards, 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.599 who have been totally discredited now and it means that 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:41.280 virtually every poor devil, every Australian who has deserved an 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.279 award in these honors is now thinking, well, what's the 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.440 value of my award? You know, this man has got 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:52.600 away literally with well, I won't say murder. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.640 But in the true sense. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.359 But you know, when you think about what he did 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.560 to that state, how the state is paying what is 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:04.000 it about fifteen million a day just in interest because 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:08.839 of his profligate spending. The fact that you are down 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.240 the toilet from infrastructure. I mean, it got this award 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:17.120 for infrastructure as well as public health, I mean for 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:21.400 eminent services. Will God help you if they're considered eminent services. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.440 I don't know what else you'll be having inflicted on you. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.400 It is just a disgrace, and as Jeff Kenneth said, 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.680 we should all write to the Governor General and request 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:32.560 it be revoked. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.320 Well, Victoria is in crisis. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.800 You mentioned the debt. We've got the biggest debt of 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.480 any state in the country by some margin. We had 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.680 the worst COVID outcome by every imaginable metric, from the 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.760 death rate to the numbers of days locked down, and 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.400 is awarded for it. But what's this extraordinary to me 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.240 as well, is that he accepted the award. Because you're 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.360 not obliged to accept it. I know several people who 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.680 have been offered thee awards and they've declined them for 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.960 various reasons. The fact that he would accept it in 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.640 itself just tells you he does not give us stuff 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.920 about the reaction, and then the deep. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.560 Loathing many have for him. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.920 We've had Mark McGowan in Western Australia, another COVID era 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.880 premier who excelled at scare mongering. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:22.960 He really did. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.320 He locked down his state, he went to all sorts 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.360 of ridiculous measures he's been awarded. And then we've got 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.600 Governor General Sam Mouston who was also awarded a Companion 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.680 of the Order of Australia, the highest honor, despite previously 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.400 calling Australia Day Invasion Day not too long ago, mind you. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.640 And she's also played into this culture of self loathing 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:52.000 that the political left embraced again a divisive figure, and 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.720 yet she gets this honor. 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:59.080 Well, isn't it ironic that all these very obviously stated 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:04.240 Republicans lining up to get the Kings honor. I mean, 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.679 it tells you everything about the shallowness of these people. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.320 They're all hypocrites. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.400 They just have a platform that they think that they 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.720 can sing to the masses and it's going to win 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:20.000 them some sort of support and cuteos. They're all just shallow, 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:25.680 facile people who have found themselves through luck or matship 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:32.600 or cronyism in these positions of power and influence and privilege, 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:33.960 and where. 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.920 To stand by and support it. 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.320 I mean, we see you people, we understand who you are, 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.200 and let's just hope that you know, we all remember 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:48.160 it when the time comes, because it's the political masters 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.880 here who have inflicted this on us all, you know, 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.360 and Andrews are getting this gong. And of course McGowan 0:08:55.440 --> 0:09:00.640 and now esteemed Governor General Captain's kip pickno out from 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.360 her mate elbow. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:04.400 Well. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.840 When she was appointed Governor General, a was called an 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:13.600 insult to mainstream Australians, even Douglas Murray wading this. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.559 Way in which the general public are being told to 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.360 feel guilt for things they did not do. It's interesting 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.040 that people like this new Governor General, they actually don't 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:31.360 feel bad about themselves. They love themselves. They absolutely adore 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:36.200 the position they get to by telling everyone else in 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.920 Australia that they must feel badly about themselves. But she 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.800 gets the positions of prominence by trying to tell everyone 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.840 else to feel bad and feel guilty and much more, 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:49.679 what happy luck. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.120 I'm wearing the same jacket as that segment now let's talk. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.320 About the latest news. Paul couldn't have planned it better. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.840 The primary vote for the coalition is the since been 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:01.880 for several years. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.680 As the Greens and Labor go backwards. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.160 Newspol reveals the Coalition has gained two points from May 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.160 to June. Labor has dropped down one, the Greens have 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.000 dropped back two. When it comes to a two party 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.760 preferred it's fifty to fifty right now. The opposition is strengthening. 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.560 Over the weekend, Peter Dutton gave the biggest indication yet 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.760 that is willing to fight the government on energy policy 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.360 and climate targets. Hallelujah. We've been calling for that for 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:33.719 some time. Seems to be a three pronged approach. Pro 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.400 it's taking on labor when it comes to energy, immigration 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.960 and law and order, and seems to be a winning 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.240 strategy thus far. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.880 Though I know it's early days, well it certainly is. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.960 And I have to say, you know, Hall hallelujah. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.240 As you said, it's about time, because you know, it's 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.760 been labor light with the Liberal Party for so long 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.040 and we're seeing that in the States of course, but 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.800 thank goodness that Dutton is a leader of our time. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.120 You know, we want that strength. People are waking up 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.839 to him and not you know, just judging him by 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.040 the way he looks or his awkwardness. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.319 The man, I believe. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.920 Demonstrates so much strength and he's got his finger on 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.680 the pulse, whereas alban EASi he demonstrated that during the 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:26.440 election with the voice, and you know, the referendum with 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.080 the voice, where you know, he was so out of touch. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.439 And they've remained out of touch with how much people 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.680 are hurting and instead of focusing as they have been 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.520 on climate change, what we are now realizing, thank goodness, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:44.000 is that this campaign, this obsession about climate change, is 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.920 actually hitting us in the hip pocket. They are not 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.240 able to supply us with energy and they only ever 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.880 energy only ever went up when they started stuffing around 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.000 with it. We were paying some of the cheapest prices 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.280 for energy in the world. 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.440 And we should be with this the supply we have. 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:06.240 But ever since these woke governments got in, you know 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:11.040 and started preaching about renewables, and they don't realize that 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.160 mums and dads at home are waking up to them. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.120 It's not our priority anymore. That's a luxury good, a 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.679 nice thing to have. We want to be able to 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.040 turn our lights on, to pay our bills, to feed 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:28.080 our kids, and we're so scared about our jobs now 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.600 because the economy is in. 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:30.520 Such a bad way. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:36.360 We're all, you know, really on tenorhooks and they're slowly 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.680 waking up to the fact that they need a change. 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.800 And I'm actually going to put some money on Dutton 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:46.800 winning because I don't believe that people will vote for 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:51.080 Alban easy and I really cannot see that people won't 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.199 wake up to the Greens. The worst thing it could 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.600 happen to this country is he becomes a minority government 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.120 and has to get into bed with Bant. The thought 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.920 of that is just sickening on every level. So let's 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.000 all wake up to ourselves and make a decisive decision 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.440 that that was a trip that we should never have 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.600 gone down, and we need to start getting behind the Libs. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.240 Yes, we don't want labor beholden even more to the Greens. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.480 If they were in minority government with the Greens, it 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.079 would be disastrous. Now, let's quickly talk about the EU elections. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.640 Four hundred million voters went to the polls for their 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.920 European Union elections and the results showed an incredible swing 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:40.000 to the ride the EU's ambitious climate targets. The immigration 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.640 policies of the left are now under threat as anti migration, 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.199 anti net zero members are voted in, particularly in places like. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.119 The Netherlands, Germany, Austria. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.600 French President Emmanuel mcgron he is called a snap election 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.520 later this month after suffering a massive defeat. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.679 His party gained only half. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:05.160 The votes of Mariella Penn's right wing National Party and 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.319 Belgium's Left as prime ministers already quit after nationalist parties 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.480 surged in the EU election, His party took just six 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.600 percent of the vote. Through the BBC says, and this 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.800 is an interesting note. The votes of young people are 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:25.160 the ones pushing this swing to the right. That's the 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.480 opposite of what you might expect when you look at 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.520 places like Australia and the US and the UK. But 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.920 in Europe the young are fed up and they want 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.320 to change. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.120 Well, they're finding it difficult to live, to work, find jobs. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.280 There is impacted as the rest of us on these 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:48.000 open door policies of migrants coming in, invading third world countries, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:52.360 invading these countries and competing for jobs, competing for housing, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.720 and changing the very nature and culture of the country. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.280 So I really see that this swing to the right 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.040 is going to be something that's quite profound. I think 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.240 we'll see it in Australia and thank goodness because we 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.520 need to and we need to stop having woke policies 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.080 being shoved down our throat and that's what's happening everywhere 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:12.640 in the world. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.240 Indeed, pro before you go, the ABC are spending our 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:22.080 money once again promoting Clementine Ford, despite the author being 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.960 one of the central figures in spreading the details doxing 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:33.080 a list of Jewish creatives. Here's her latest project, Divorce Party. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.760 And look at this ABC story or should I say 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.840 ABC commercial because it looks like a commercial for whatever 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:40.320 this is. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.320 Writers clem Ford and Yumi Steins have created a unique 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:50.160 ritual that takes connecting through sharing to a whole new level. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.600 Will be there for you who wants to go first, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:57.359 because here it's the audience members who take to the stage. 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.200 And I really hope what we do today is acknowledged 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.600 that feeling because it's real, and then we're going to 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:05.120 kick it in. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:12.080 The I'm seending my heartbroken friend Celeste backstage and I 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.080 hope she gets some Ino. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.080 For Celeste Prue. 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:21.320 Why are the ABC essentially giving Clementine Ford a three 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.840 minute promotional advert. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:25.800 For whatever the hell she is doing? 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.880 How is that a good use of our taxes or 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:30.640 in any way in the public interest. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.640 Well, of course it isn't you know. What's really as 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.560 starting to me is that some fool actually married these Shielders. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.040 I mean, no wonder they're in the divorce. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.720 I have to say it. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:51.200 I cannot back that. I cannot back that. Okayt Swaene, 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.760 what are we going to do with you? Thank you 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.640 so many? And then this morning. 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.000 Joining me now is research Fellow with a Woman's Form Australia, 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.400 Stephanie Bastian. 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:03.040 Stephanie. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.480 Let's start with a Victorian counselor who's been suspended for 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:11.639 thirty days after refusing to apologize for tweets highlighting the 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.880 harms of gender ideology on women and children on her 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:20.240 personal account. Mind you, the ABC are calling Melissa Ferguson's 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:24.800 tweets anti trans and they made sure to emphasize the 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.680 courage displayed by the counselor who reported her. They made 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.960 note of other counselors who said Ferguson's offensive and disrespectful tweets. 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.560 That's a quote suggest that she believed trans people in 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:43.200 general are predators, perpetrating perversion and abuse and praying on children. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.280 She's never actually said that, did she, Stephanie? What's the 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:47.160 real story here? 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:52.080 Fatally outrageous? So Melissa Ferguson has advocated for women and 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.240 children for some time under her personal account. There is 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.679 an activist on Latrobe Council, Counselor Lunde, who took offense 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:04.040 to some of her commentary, and she's weaponized council processes 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.400 to punish her and to drag her through this rigmarole 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:08.760 in order to silence her. 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.199 What assure that she doesn't have the power to do 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.239 that herself? Why she copped this thirty day suspension? If 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:20.960 what she said is not offensive, what's the most controversial 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:21.800 thing she said? 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.000 Well, it's not even about what she said. She was 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.040 ordered to apologize and so she repeated verbat in what 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.040 she was told to say, and they weren't happy about it. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.160 It wasn't a genuine apology. So it's not even what 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.400 she said, it's how she said it. It's absolutely ridiculous, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.720 and I mean, rape pays are funding these processes. We've 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.320 got high cost of living. The Trope Council put a 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.240 three point five percent increase on rates and they're wasting 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.919 it on silencing people and running their political agendas. It 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.159 is just outrageous. It is shameful that this has been 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.560 allowed to happen. The Victorian M Bardsman should be looking 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.080 into this and wondering and working out how counsels are 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.119 able to weaponize these processes. 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:03.600 In this way, Softie. 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.000 What I don't understand is why this is allowed to stand. 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:11.720 Surely there's an appeal process if there's been some injustice here. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.720 And my worry is that other women are going to 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.240 be reluctant to speak out because they see someone being 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.960 punished for stating a belief that they hold on their 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:23.040 own personal account. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.879 Look, I think she'll look at her options. But at 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:27.960 the end of the day, any sort of legal defense 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.360 is self funded. So this is the other insidious aspect 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.200 of it. These counselors can weaponize these processes, use right 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.200 pay of funds to do it as they go through 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.360 the rigmarole. These processes are there to ensure that counselors 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.119 behave in certain ways. It's not meant to be used 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.400 to try and silence your opponents. So if she does 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.439 take action, she's got a lawyer up. The cost is 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.200 at her own personal expense, and I think that makes 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:56.880 it extremely unfair because you know, particularly when you suspended 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.920 without pay and it's extraordinary, it's so unjust. 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.119 Yeah, that is I think something that just does not 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.960 pass the pup test that you can be prosecuted at 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.080 the taxpayers expense. The person who's taking the action has 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:16.879 no risk of costs being awarded against them. But if 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.440 you want to then defend yourself and appeal that decision, yeah, 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.840 that is almost setting you up for failure. 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:24.520 Now, let's talk about equality. 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.320 Australia CEO and a Brown who seems to have taken 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.080 a shot at women who stand up for their sex 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:32.919 based rights at. 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.280 An event at the Free and Equal. 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.520 Human Rights Conference in Sydney last week, she said that 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.560 we all need to stand with and support trans women. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:48.479 There's a small minority of activists that are trying to 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.840 that are attacking trans women and I think we just 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.840 all need to stand in solidarity with Aisher and all 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:55.480 trans women. 0:20:58.040 --> 0:20:59.520 What's your response to that? 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:05.879 Again, I see the overwhelming bulk of the media with 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:11.080 the transactivists. I see the corporates, the celebrity class, the 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.880 activist class. It seems the women who are standing up 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.040 for women's only spaces are the minority. I think she 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.520 is right there that they tend to be a minority 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.399 and they're attacked when they do take a stand. And 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:31.120 yet you've got the head of Equality Australia saying they 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.000 should effectively be quiet and we should all stand with 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:34.800 the trans women. 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.119 I know, and she goes on to that clip to 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.560 call for trans inclusive feminism. I mean, what is that. 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:45.919 That's men embracing feminism. It's just so confusing. But I 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.840 mean miss Brown is an activist, she is a radical. 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:50.359 I mean some of the things that she said. She 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:53.800 told SBS that she thought that miners having to seek 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:58.000 parental consent for surgery gender framing surgery was abhorrent. 0:21:58.520 --> 0:21:59.760 She is so out of touch. 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.440 But once again, she's involved in a well funded organization. 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.720 She's pushing ideas that are well and truly out of 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.600 touch with the rest of Australians. And I think people 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:12.920 are starting to wake up, particularly parents. It's no longer 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:17.240 about being inclusive and respectful, It's about their girls being harmed. 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:21.280 It's women having to deal with male rapists in prisons, 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.560 it's girls losing their scholarships and sports. What she stands well, 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:27.879 I mean, she is a radical activist and she is 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:28.320 out of. 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:32.040 Touch, but so many people in those positions are from 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:32.960 the activist class. 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.760 We shouldn't be surprised. Before you go. Let's go to 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:36.359 the US. 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:40.960 A transactivist who was guilty of a heinous crime, and 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:44.400 there's now question around whether the FBI tried to hide 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:48.840 details of the motives behind the mass shooting she was 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.200 guilty of. Audrey Hale, who wanted to be called Aiden. 0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:55.479 Hale killed three nine year old children and three adults 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:59.280 at a Presbyterian elementary school in March twenty twenty three 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:04.480 before being shot and killed by police. Now her manifesto 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:08.399 has been revealed, and it shows an obsession with gender 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:13.480 ideology and sex and transgender politics, plans to target what 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:17.639 she called white privileged people and those who don't believe 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:19.080 in transgender rights. 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.919 Stephanie, this is a tricky. 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:26.400 One, but there's accusations of particularly the FBI, but also 0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:31.719 the local police force of trying to hide this information 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:32.680 from the public. 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.320 Look, I think there's an I have an element of 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:40.040
