WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 4 February 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.960 On scoring leaves Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show. 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.720 Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panecky Show. Coming 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.080 up tonight, the Victorian Premier forced to concede that the 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:18.520 state's bail laws are in disarray. The Queensland town in 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.920 an uproar about a garbage late intensity that's popped up 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.159 at a local reserve. We'll have the latest from the 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.320 US with Kosher Gata and Professor Ian Plymer will unpack 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.280 the climate craziness that is sending your power bills through 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.680 the roof. And later in the hour special guest takes 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.600 a stand for Milania Trump after she was attacked by 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.320 the ideologues at Vogue magazine. 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.480 And of course we never forget left. 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:49.440 He's losing it tonight featuring stars from the Grammys. 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.960 And it changes the game. DEEI is not a threat, 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:53.760 it's a gift. 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.840 But first let's bring in News Corps Senior writer Patrick 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.160 Carl and Patrick Welcome to the program. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.639 Let's start with business and. 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.360 Industry groups preparing to launch what would be the largest 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.800 third party election campaign in Australia's political history. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.600 Amid fears of a hung parliament. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.080 The groups are expected to launch campaigns to try and 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.360 influence swing voters and what is being called one of 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.120 the most crucial elections of our time. 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.760 Patrick. Finally, we're seeing these. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.920 Business groups actually advocate for their own interests, for the 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:33.200 interests of their shareholders, their staff, other stakeholders, as opposed 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.200 to being tied up in all these social woke issues 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.600 they normally like to involve themselves, and this is actually 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.440 about how these policies will impact the running of their business. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.880 Look, this is fascinating because the data is so specific. 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.040 Now you can have these groups, whether it's unions or 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:53.920 business groups, actually targeting specific polling booths and they can 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.480 work out apprentices live near that polling booth and a 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.960 lot of people with negative gearing investments live near that 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.680 polling group. And so you're going to have this very 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.400 targeted micro campaign for an election where nobody knows the result. 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.240 It's all based on the fact that the ALP soft 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.560 primary vote is so soft at the moment. These sort 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.320 of micro strategies in very targeted area is going to 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:20.840 have a real impact on the result. 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.040 What do you say to fears that this is akin 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.280 to buying an election. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.480 You're going to have the. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.480 Top end of town determining how people vote. Do you 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.120 buy that because we know how much the unions spend 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.120 in this arena. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:36.880 That's right. 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.160 Look, look, those fears are warranted, perhaps in the sense 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:42.520 that they're going to be in the game in a 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.120 way that they haven't been in the game before. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.600 And it's because of the data. It's because of the technology. 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.440 They will be very targeted and you'll see them really 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.320 campaign hard in very very specific areas in a way 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.679 that they haven't before. And you can argue, yes, they're 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.120 going to have more sway potentially, but that's sort of 0:02:58.240 --> 0:02:59.920 it's a product of the technology. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.880 The world is moving forward slowly. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:03.640 Indeed it is. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.959 And Robert got Bleison has written a fascinating piece in 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.760 The Australian newspaper about Labour's new unrealized gains tax, a 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.000 tax which here calls one of the most vicious taxes 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.360 ever conceived by an Australian government. This tax will not 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.600 be index and has got beliefs and rights. The biggest 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.160 victims will be those trying to develop a new business 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.080 and asking for capital to help. Nobody will invest if 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.440 they have to sell assets to pay for the unrealized 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.520 gains tax and if there is a later loss, they 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.640 must wait for capital profits to get the money back. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.840 Patrick's what happened to Labour's election promise. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.320 I'm sure I remember something back in twenty twenty two 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.480 about no new taxes. 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.160 Yes, vaguely, yes, Robert's under something here. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.720 I mean, very few countries in the world have taxes 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:58.040 on unrealized profits, and so they're basically potentially going to 0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.960 ask for you to pay for money that you actually 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.560 don't have, which will force people to businesses to sell assets, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.120 investors to sell things merely to pay the tax. It's 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.640 not fair, it's anti aspirational, it's anti innovation, and it's 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.480 anti productive in the sense that you want investment, and 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:16.520 this is anti investment. 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.960 It is definitely anti investment. And when you've already got 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:24.560 an environment of high regulation, high tax, it's just another 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.159 reason for people to invest elsewhere. And we know what's 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.120 happening in the US and environment's been created there that 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.279 is very pro investment. So if you're a big multinational 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.640 you've got to wonder why you would invest in Australia 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:41.440 at with the current conditions. Let's talk about Victoria. The 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.960 state is buckling under the weight of record debt and 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:51.440 premiages into Alan seems to be preoccupied with other priorities. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.120 Here's what she's been posting on X. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.159 She wrote, I want. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.839 To send a message to every LGBTQ plus Victorian in 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:00.640 our state today. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.960 I know that right now you might look at. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.800 The world with fear and uncertainty, fear for your community, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.599 fear for your safety, fear for a future that might 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.040 end up looking a lot more like the past. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.320 But I want you to know this. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.640 In Victoria, you have a government and a premiere who 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.240 believes in equality and believes. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.160 In a you. Oh, dear man. 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:27.440 Now, she has been ratioed to Helen back on X 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.479 for that incoherent virtue signaling that basically means Patrick that 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.520 she has been flooded with negative responses, people taking her 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.520 to task for what she has written there, her failure 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.040 to stand up for women's rights, women's spaces. After all, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:48.160 Victoria is a place where we have a male sexual 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.520 predator identifying as a woman in a woman's prison. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:52.080 That's right. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.880 I mean, this is the sort of madness that the 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.840 rest of the world can only imagine it's happening in Victoria. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:05:58.360 Yeah. 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.560 Look, I think most people Victoria, Australians, the world sick 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.040 of the woke sort of ideology. And I think this 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.960 is sort of presented as a heartfelt message of love. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.280 It's actually very cynical. I think it's actually saying I 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.840 feel your fears, you have reasons to be fearful. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.240 We might go back to what was a long time ago. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.360 And that's very why because Donald Trump has said take 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.760 the pronouns out of your email address if you're a 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:26.000 government employee. That's what's requiring the Victorian Premiere down a. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.760 Year to look. 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.279 There's been no hate related incident in Victoria that prompted this. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.640 This comes out of nowhere, and I would expect that 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.239 the negative sort of X reviews, as you say, would continue, 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:38.640 because it's misplaced right. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.400 Now, especially when you look at the many, many real 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.160 issues happening in Victoria, and one of them that the 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.320 Victorian Premier has acknowledge is ordered yet another review, this 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.480 time into the state's bail laws, conceding that something has 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.120 gone seriously. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.000 Wrong in me to record low polling figures. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.359 And I do wonder really whether she has grasped what 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:06.120 the problem is here or whether she's just reading the 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.760 polls and knows that crime is a big issue in 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.080 this state, and coming up to an election, it's an 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.840 area where labor struggled because pretty much everything they've done 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:23.440 has weakened the criminal response, and it's in boldened the 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:28.440 criminal class, particularly when you see these bail laws, kids getting. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.800 Out ten, eleven, twelve times, well. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.880 There were sixty times. In one case November last year, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.840 a fourteen year old was bailed for the I think 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:42.560 the fiftieth time. He'd been accused of home invasions, driving 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.640 stolen cars, and police pursuits. And we've had people die 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:50.120 on our roads from this kind of behavior. Obviously, his 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.920 rights were put ahead of the rights of everybody else 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.680 to feel safe, and that's been the problem. People don't 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.880 feel safe. It's as much a perception problem as a 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.280 reality problem. People were having, you know, waking up at 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.280 two am to thleeves in their homes trying to find 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:06.080 their car keys. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.800 They're being menaced and terrorized. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.080 And I think if just Allen was saying this back 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.440 in September twenty twenty three, once you took over from 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.440 Dan Andrews, you'd say that's great, we welcome these It's 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.200 far too late. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.320 It is it's too little, too late. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:24.120 And when you've got police telling frightened Victorians, well, you know, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.800 just leave your keys by the door so they don't 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.480 come and try to confront you when you're in your 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:32.160 own home. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.240 That is not a good place for a first world 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:35.840 city to be. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.960 And things haven't changed here in a very very negative 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.120 manner and it's hard to deny it. Now let's go 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:46.040 to Queensland, where residents of Morton Bay have expressed their 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.800 outrage over a garbage late in tense city that has 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:54.280 popped up in a local reserve. Seriously, how hard is 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.880 it to show some respect and keep your area tidy. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.599 I feel for those who are struggling, but this is appalling, 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.720 said one local. Another person wrote human dumping ground. Seriously, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.520 there is no reason to live in filth. Morton Bay 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.840 Mayor Peter Flattery has also condemned the state of the site. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.679 He said, when public spaces are misused resulting in serious 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.880 health and safety risks and destruction of property, we will 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.480 unequivocally act to protect the broader community and council assets. 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.800 The rubbish there is horrendous, but again, this is a 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.920 failure of government to have people living in these sort 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.000 of tent cities. We are a rich nation, We've got 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:45.280 a very generous safety net, very generous welfare system, and 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.319 yet we've still got people in this state. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.320 Look, I feel firstly very sorry for the local residents 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.280 who are putting up with this, and for the mayor 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.280 as well. I mean, he's sort of saying the right things, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.400 and he's making the point. This is not about the 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.360 politics of homelessness, which is a very important discussion I 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.280 have about public safety and health, and I think people 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.960 are being threatened. There are police escorts for council offices. Look, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.000 I agree with that. We are a first world nation. 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.320 We have lots of safety nets. The fact that this 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:16.199 is happening anywhere is outrageous. It should not be happening. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.920 It should And when you look at places like La 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.959 San Francisco, anyone who's visited those cities in the last 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:28.679 five years, last ten years, the homelessness issue has just 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.800 got worse and worse and worse. And we don't want 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.320 to be even contemplating being anything like that. And you 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.640 see those tense cities all around there. I've seen it 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:45.560 in Melbourne. Queensland is now grappling with it. Do you 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.920 see this as as a wider issue with the housing crisis. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.640 I think officially there's one hundred and twenty thousand homeless 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:52.720 people in Australia. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:53.839 If people are living in. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.040 Tens, I mean, look, we have a good welfare system, 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.040 we have good minimum wages to protect workers. We've got 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.920 most things right in ways that parts of America do not. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.400 This should not be happening, and it does go. The 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.319 obvious place to go is where have governments failed in 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.359 looking after and taking care of citizens who are struggling. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.840 It shouldn't be happening here. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.320 Now, just quickly, let's have a look at Matilda's captain, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.520 a soccer Servers star, Sam Kerr. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.160 She's on trial in London for. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:28.840 Legend racial abuse of a UK police officer, and we 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:34.959 now have the police bodycam footage showing what Kerr actually said. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:50.079 Honestly, you have stupid and white Okay, stupid, I'm talking 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.240 over this. This is the world problem. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:12:00.240 Wait on the call, Wait on the call. Call does 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:01.320 not look great. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.680 But as much as I'm not an enormous fan of 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.760 some of the politics of some of our sporting stars, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:15.320 including Zam, I do think to be on trial for 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.400 something like this it's just a bit too much a fine, 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:24.720 a caution, But to actually be in a criminal trial. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.240 Is that what's happening now in the UK? 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.840 It's the old rule read nothing good happens after two 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:34.360 am anywhere in the world. Look, it does seem ridiculous 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.199 that some has got to be she's playing out in public. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.000 Everyone's hanging on every word and every piece of footage 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:40.520 in a way. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.720 Which is a brash. But that a very bad night 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:44.720 a court case. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.559 Yes, to suggest. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.440 That's criminal or somehow caused offense, I mean that law 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.040 was not brought in for white people. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.960 You can argue whether it's a good law or not. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.320 But to sort of suggest that the police officers somehow 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.200 suffered dramatically from what came out of her mouth that 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.000 point in time is crazy. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.679 I agree with that, But I've got to say, if 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.720 you're going to apply these laws and send people to 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.800 court over hurty words, then they've got to apply across 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.640 the board, whether you say white or black or anything 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:16.240 in between. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.280 It's got to apply equally. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.640 But I would just rather not see the court's time 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.360 wasted with this sort of nonsense. Patrick Carline, thanks for 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:23.959 your time. 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.520 Thanks for Enoch joining me. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:31.760 Now is a steam geologist and author, Professor in Plymber. Professor, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:36.479 Let's talk about the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:42.520 Australia's largest business body, slamming labors eighty two percent renewables target. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.160 They say it's unrealistic and in urgent need of a revisit. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:48.320 The group says that. 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.600 The government must drop its green energy targets and fast 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:57.200 track gas exploration in order to return power prices to 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.880 affordable levels and make the grid reliable again. I'm sure 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.160 this is exactly what you and I have been talking 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.600 about for years on this program, but it's fantastic to 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.040 hear this from a peak business lobby group. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.880 Well, they're exactly right. We have nine percent of all 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.720 energy at present comes from renewables. Ninety one percent of 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.080 all energy is from coal and from oil and from gas. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.360 So if you want to get to eighty three percent 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.800 or eighty two percent, you've got a very long way 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.680 to go. And if you want to do it before 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.320 twenty thirty, you've only got five years. 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.000 So it's just a time problem. It's just not able 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:40.720 to do it now. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.480 The economic reality is there's a total, absolute waste of money. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:50.800 We once had very good, reliable, cheap electricity, especially in Victoria. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.080 This came from coal, and we burnt coal. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.360 In Queensland and New South Wales and apparently the gas 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.240 of life, the carbon dioxide, has now been deemed so 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.320 we've stopped burning coal, putting carbon dioxide back into the 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.360 atmosphere where it originally came from, and denying plants food 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:13.640 for some ideological reason. So reality catches up with you, 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.880 and it's catching up with a labor party. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.440 Now it's also catching up with the Libs. You have 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:19.600 the same sort of policy. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.760 Well, yes, the Libs seem to be in denial themselves 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.560 because yes they've got a nuclear plan, but they seem 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.400 to be staying with Paris at a time when the 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.840 entire Paris climate Deal is now irrelevant. The biggest countries 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.239 have walked away or it doesn't. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:41.840 Apply to them. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.520 Now, let's talk about TV star Katrina round Tree unleashing 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.360 on the Victorian government over its plans to destroy seven 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.360 hundred and seventy hectares of picturesque farmland at the base 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.040 of the u Yangs. This is the Yu Yang's Mountain range. 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.920 They want to put a huge newable energy project right there. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.760 It's going to be near her her farm and the 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:11.360 smaller country town of Little River. And we're seeing these 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.800 projects pop up across the country. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.480 How much consultation is. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.280 There with the local community before these projects go ahead. 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.080 Well, there's apparently consultation. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.960 And this is basically where they listen and don't absorb 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.960 anything and do what they originally plan. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:34.200 And you have to remember that Australian governments are borrowing. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.640 Money for these projects. This money goes to foreign corporations 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.480 who build the solar and wind industrial complexes, take the 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.680 money out of Australia and then leave Australians with the 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.680 mess to clean up. This is not very good practice. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:53.240 And as we should know, wind turbines are dreadfully polluting. 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:58.560 They release from the blades chemicals which spread wide and far. 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:00.400 When you try to get rid of the blow aids, 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.200 you have to cut them up and bury them because 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.679 you can't recycle them. They kill birds, they kill bats, 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:11.040 they kill wales. This is not environmentalism. This is passing 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.360 money to your cronies elsewhere in the world, giving them 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.760 a fortune of taxpayers money. And every time we put 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:21.400 new renewables into the grid, our electricity costs go up. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.520 So these are very very silly plans which are costing 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.600 us dearly, especially those people in rural areas where they 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.720 don't have the electoral power. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.639 That inner city greens who don't see the mess can 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.560 actually drive the whole agenda. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:44.520 Now, the Guardian and newspaper Guardian Australia has reported on 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:49.600 a study by Monash University about attitudes towards climate science. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.720 I'm loving how they have spun this. They he say 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:58.240 that of those who believe the climate crisis was a conspiracy, 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.200 more than a third twenty seven percent picked commercial TV 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:06.080 and radio as their main source of news, while only 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.359 eight percent chose non commercial TV or radio. Just eight 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.879 percent of those who believe the human induced climate crisis 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.880 was a conspiracy use public radio and television as their 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.480 main source of news. So, in other words, in those 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:28.600 who support the climate cause seem to have been brainwashed 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:34.840 by far left publicly funded broadcasters like the ABC Spares, 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.639 while those who consume a range of media seem to 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.120 get a broader picture and they can think for themselves. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.760 They're not being alarmed about all of us dying within 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:47.600 five years. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.080 Is that what you got out of this study? I 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.119 thought it was very amusingly presented. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.840 Well, once you the word Guardian, I turn off and 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:02.760 think of something else, because you can be guaranteed that 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.560 their interpretation of data is very different from reality. 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:08.960 Now, maybe it's not a conspiracy. 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.000 Maybe there's a bulk of people out there who think 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.720 about reality and maybe they look at the costs. Maybe 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.399 they think of the environmental damage. Maybe they think that 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:25.360 years ago we once had cheap, reliable electricity and for 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.720 some reason, perhaps renewables, the electricity costs have gone through 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.400 the roots. So I think the Guardian is heading for extinction. 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:38.160 This article demonstrates it. So good luck to the Guardian. 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:43.080 If you're a Guardian reader, you shouldn't be watching this program. 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:43.840 Now. 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.600 Finally, I let's check in with what is purportedly Australia's 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.920 leading independent think tank. Independent is doing a lot of 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.639 heavy lifting there. The Australian Institute recently published this video 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.720 to their social media side. So if you can make 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.120 sense of this, we're not. 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.880 To stop exiting holding gas in Australia. It's a huge industry. 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:05.800 It's huge industry. 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.840 It doesn't bring much to the Australian economy though, if anything, 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.840 it costs the Australian economy. You're right, it's an absolutely 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.000 huge industry. It's not a big employer though it doesn't 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:16.240 pay much tax, doesn't pay. 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:17.920 Much in royalties and the profits go offshore. 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.919 So I don't know why we're not going to get 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:22.440 rid of the gas industry in Australia. 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.400 It doesn't contribute that much. And is that a sound advice? 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.080 Firstly, they pay royalties. 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.800 Secondly, she should go to a town like Roma in Queensland, 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:37.199 which was a struggling cattle town until gas came there. 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.159 There is full employment, a town is booming and gas 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.679 has done a huge amount for local communities in rural 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:49.200 areas where there's not much employment. So these people should 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.359 get out of the cities, should get into rural Australia 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.080 and actually have a look and possibly even talk to people, 0:20:56.119 --> 0:21:00.080 although they need to speak a different language. 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.399 Oh yes, that is not going to happen. I just 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:07.760 cannot believe the confidence with which she spewed all that 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.199 incredible professor Ian Plymer, thank you so much for your 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:11.919 time this evening. 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.840 Thank you still to KRMA lefties losing it. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.639 Plus, have the Democrats finally moved on from their d 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:33.639 race obsessions Kosher Gator is up next watching the Reader 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:37.280 Paney Show. And now it's time for lefties Losing it 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.560 and let's take a look at the Grammars. They were 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.000 just on though no one with a life seems to 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.200 care too much, But we had an assortment of lefties 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.960 losing it. So let's have a look at the top five. Now. 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:55.880 While much of the attention was on the tachy exhibitionist 0:21:56.119 --> 0:22:02.040 antics of Carnie and his Australian victim or i mean wife, Biankersen, Sorry, 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.520 it was the usual suspects with their TDS afflictions that 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:11.880 sought to turn a night about music into one about politics. 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:17.080 Let's start with an award that was nakedly political. Giving 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:22.000 Beyonce the Best Country Album is just pure politics. She 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:25.200 is about as country as she is a natural blonde. 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:28.480 Even she looked embarrassed by this award. 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:41.080 Cowboy coder, Wow, I really was not expecting this. 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:44.720 Yeah, we're all shocked, and no one who actually listens 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.800 to and loves country music takes that seriously, because whether 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.320 your lover her album or not, it ain't country folks. 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:56.560 Now coming in at number four and the Grammy's Lefties 0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:01.080 Losing It list is Shakira, who couldn't help but virtue 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:05.320 signal in a most vacuous and unnecessary fashion. 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:06.400
