The Nationals leadership team, 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: consisting of David Little Proud, Bridget Mackenzie and Kevin Hogan 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 3: pull the pin on the coalition after Liberal leader Susan 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: Lee refused to agree to the National's list of four 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: non negotiables. These were nuclear energies, supermarket divestiture, the twenty 25 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: billion Regional Future Fund, and universal service obligations to ensure 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 3: reliable mobile phone coverage in regional areas. The end of 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: the coalition comes as many National MPs expressed their anger 28 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: at the fact that their party signed up to net 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: zero obligations, and as the Australian reports, was especially apparent 30 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: in yesterday's decision because the final trigger for David Little 31 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: Proud and his team was the fact that the Liberal 32 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 3: leader said she could not agree to a request from 33 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: mister Little Proud, allowing his shadow cabinet ministers a free 34 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: vote on contentious issues, including net zero emissions by twenty fifty. 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this as Sky News 36 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: contributors pri McSween and Tina McQueen Tina, is this a 37 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: case of disunity leading to death? Is this the end 38 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: of Conservatives in Australia? Oh? 39 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 5: Look, I hope not. 40 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 6: I think it's been done out of sure prostration to 41 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 6: be honest reata. This has been you know, on the 42 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 6: card since Turnbulls leadership of the Liberal Party. 43 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 5: You know, that started to drag the party to the left. 44 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 6: And then continued, we haven't we haven't been there to 45 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 6: support our base with strong conservative views. 46 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 5: And I think then that's rightly. 47 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 6: So I said, you know enough, I've had enough, particularly 48 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 6: things like phone coverage. Seems like a little thing, but 49 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 6: as someone with a daughter living in the car, I travel, 50 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 6: you know, two hours of my four hour journey there 51 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 6: is no phone coverage. So but I can tell you Riata, 52 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 6: there's been a lot of Liberal donors that donate a 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 6: Liberal Party that have contacted me specifically offering their support 54 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 6: to Matt Canaban. There's a lot of support out there 55 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 6: for Matt Canaban and where the National stands at the moment. 56 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 6: So you know, look, clearly, ideally they have to get 57 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 6: together to form government at some stage for the next 58 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 6: election if they hope to win. 59 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 5: But you know, I admire the Nationals. 60 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 6: Some of them are giving up money, you know, have 61 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 6: a massive drop in pay. Now we stand on a 62 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 6: principle and I think that's you know, I take my 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 6: hat off to that and that shows a true politician 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 6: of conviction. 65 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: That's a very good point there, Prue. It's been under reporter. 66 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: They are going to be pay cuts here, and you 67 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: don't see politicians often opting for a pay cut, but 68 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: that's what they're doing, and they're doing it on principle. 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 7: Well, it's nice to see people politicians with principle for 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 7: a change. It's not just a pay cut, of course, it'll. 71 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 5: Be a staff cut. 72 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 7: So they're really a lot of people have been saying 73 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 7: they're just posturing and you know, spoiled brats and you know, 74 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 7: playing to their constituents. But I think it had to happen, 75 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 7: and I don't believe that you can trust that Susan 76 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 7: Lee who started off. I was impressed with her first speech, 77 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 7: but we know that she's woke, we know that she's 78 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 7: a wet We know that the moderates, you know, Photius 79 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 7: has his tentacles everywhere within the liberals, and so many 80 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 7: of them want to take it to the left, to 81 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 7: the center left, and that of course will spell you know, 82 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 7: incredibly bad news for the true conservative voter. So I 83 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 7: think it was great that Matt Canavan sort of was 84 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 7: the person who threw the grenade in I think little 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 7: proud if he continues supporting net zero is a dead 86 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 7: man walking. It's time for the Liberals to wake up 87 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 7: to themselves and not even consider drifting to the moderate 88 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 7: side a labor light. And they need to get their 89 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 7: finger out and start announcing policies that are going to 90 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 7: better reflect their core constituents who are conservatives. 91 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 6: Reader, Can I just add if the Nationals ran in 92 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 6: Susan Lee an Angus. 93 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 5: Taylor's seat, they would win. 94 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 6: So I think Susan Ly and Angus Taylor are going 95 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 6: to have to carefully consider their options. 96 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 5: I have no doubt that Nationals will win both those seats. 97 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about that, but first about the path 98 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 3: to reconciliation. There are liberal parties storewards urging for the 99 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: reconciliation to happen very quickly. Former Prime Minister John Howard 100 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: is one of those storeboards. He told the Australian Financial Review. 101 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: My advice is to reform as soon as possible and 102 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: resolve their policy differences within the framework of a coalition. 103 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 3: If they are separated for too long, they will increase 104 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: their differences and make resolution more difficult. 105 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: But that is looking unlikely. 106 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: Mid suggestions that David Little Proud and Susan Lee do 107 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: not like each other. The Australian reports Susan Lee intends 108 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 3: not to reform a coalition with David Little Proud's Nationals 109 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: before the twenty twenty eight election. 110 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: Tina, what is that going to mean? It would an 111 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: extended period of. 112 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 3: A split that last three years perhaps beyond. See these 113 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: two parties become too dramatically different. See the Nationals really 114 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 3: go back to their roots and see the Liberals become 115 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: some sort of teal alternative which is not going to 116 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: be appealing to the bulk of the country. 117 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 6: No, if the Liberals go down the till track, it's 118 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 6: going to be disaster, you know, they just they'll be 119 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: non existent. Look, maybe if these two leaders, who I 120 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 6: really think don't they don't get on, perhaps there may 121 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 6: be a change in leadership for. 122 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 5: Both parties to resolve this issue. I mean, who knows. 123 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 6: But clearly common sense and anyone with half a brain 124 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 6: knows that the coalition has to exist with it. 125 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 5: As I said, any hope to form government, but very 126 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 5: very stubborn. 127 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 6: But honestly, the left of the party cannot, the left 128 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 6: of the Liberal Party cannot take over or will be doomed. 129 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 5: So I say, you know, good. 130 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 6: On the Nats and hopefully there's enough people in the 131 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 6: Liberal Party that will look after their conservative base. Prue, 132 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 6: can you see that happening leadership changes at both parties 133 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 6: If you did have a Matt Canavan led Nationals and 134 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 6: a Angus Taylor led Liberal Party, you can see that 135 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 6: reconciliation happening quite easily, and hopefully walking away from policies 136 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 6: like net zero and giving Australians a real choice it 137 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 6: an election, not just being shadows of or echoes of labor. 138 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 7: Well, I certainly think Matt Canavan is the man for 139 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 7: the job. I've got my juries out in Angus Taylor 140 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 7: because well it's no doubt very bright, he's not great 141 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 7: at prosecuting an argument, so he's you know, and I 142 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 7: like Ted O'Brien although you know he is a moderate, 143 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 7: which worries me. But I thought he was very impressive 144 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 7: during the nuclear debate. 145 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: But you know, he's yet to be proven. 146 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 7: I mean, if he's going to be one of those, 147 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 7: you know, even a hidden woke moderate within the ranks, 148 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 7: and that wouldn't work. So I believe it's going to 149 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 7: mean that they will have to have a change of leadership, 150 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 7: and I think that Little Proud and Lee are probably 151 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 7: dead people walking. 152 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: The other death nel reta for Susan Lee would be 153 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 6: if she introduces quotas. Now, I was wildly misreported in 154 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 6: a newspaper at the weekend saying I supported quotas with 155 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,479 Speaker 6: nothing for the truth, absolute rubbish. But if she attempts 156 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 6: to introduce quote quotas, I'll be one of the first 157 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 6: women to walk away from Liberal Party myself and join 158 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 6: the NATS. 159 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 8: Good. 160 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: She can't go down that worad surely, But Tina, I know, 161 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: and it's again, and she's got a history of flip 162 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 3: flopping on just about every issue, so God knows where she's. 163 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: Going to land. 164 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: But if there isn't a reconciliation here, Tina, can you 165 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: see the Nationals running candidates in her seat? 166 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: Can you see the. 167 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: Nationals un seating possibly the opposition leader in an election. 168 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 6: Look, it'll depends on their fundraising capabilities. And as I said, 169 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 6: the people that have contacted me are offering former Liberal 170 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 6: donors offering to support Matt Cannaban and the Nationals. I'm 171 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 6: quite alarmed at if they have the budget to do it. 172 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 6: They will run in those seats. They will running as 173 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 6: many seats as possible. And like I said, I mean 174 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 6: Susan Lease seat, what's formerly a National seat. 175 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 5: It's only the Cohen should deal. 176 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 6: Got no National ran in her seat, but Susan Lee's there, 177 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 6: so she knows herself that the Nationals would absolutely take 178 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 6: over her seat, and Angus Taylor as well. Now, pro 179 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 6: you mentioned Ted O'Brian, and this is further proof that 180 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 6: Liberals and Nationals aren't on very good terms right now. 181 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 6: The Deputy Opposition leader Ted O'Brien decided last minute to 182 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 6: pull out of a joint TV appearance with National Senator 183 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 6: Matt Canavan earlier this day. 184 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 9: We asked Deputy liberally Ted O'Brien on the show last 185 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 9: night and he agreed this morning at a courtesy, we 186 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 9: told him Matt Canavan was coming on too. All seems okay, 187 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 9: and then twenty minutes ago his team rang saying he 188 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 9: won't come on with Canadan. I mean, you can't make 189 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 9: it up. It's like maths the canber edition. Matt Canavan 190 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 9: is in the house. They made a good morning to you. 191 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 9: Nice to see this one morning, Carl. How'd your sleep 192 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 9: last night? 193 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: I'm not bad, mate. 194 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 3: Carl Stephanovic compared that to an addition of maths. 195 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: Tina, what was that about? 196 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: Why would he refuse to appear on a program with 197 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: Matt Canavan? 198 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 6: Well, Carl's implying there some lover stiff, you know, some breakup. 199 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 5: I think. 200 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 6: Look, Matt is a star performer, he knows his stuff. 201 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 6: I do think there'd be a little bit nervousness in 202 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 6: Tet O'Brien that he would say the wrong thing and 203 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 6: goof up. 204 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 5: But that's a cowardly. 205 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 6: Thing to do twenty minutes prior to appearance on a show, 206 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 6: because I tell you one thing, Matt Canavan will never 207 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 6: back down from a fight. 208 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: No, you would be appearing on a program with anybody 209 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 3: from Sarah Hanson Young to. 210 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: Tedo Brian. Bizarre. Bizarre. 211 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: Now let's have a look at how some of the 212 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: leftist papers are reacting to the split. The Sydney Morning 213 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 3: Herald has gone with this angle, claiming the Nationals once 214 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: got their way because they argued their corner and didn't 215 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: make empty threats. The Junior Coalition Party is reduced to 216 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: a juvenile outfit. That seems a bit harsh prove given 217 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: that they did pretty well at the recent election. It 218 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: was the Liberals who failed comprehensively. The Nationals seem to 219 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: know who they are a lot more than the Liberals 220 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: who have got this identity crisis at the moment. 221 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 7: Look, the credibility of these media outlets has just gone 222 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 7: down the toilet, you know when you look at of 223 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 7: course they're going to blame the Nats and take that 224 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 7: stance because they've all got agendas. Now most journalists have 225 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 7: agendas who are writing for these lefty papers. 226 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 3: Tina, you could have a situation where you know that 227 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: the gap between the parties is an enormous now with 228 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: the number of seats they hold, so you could have 229 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 3: the Nationals holding more seats and being the official opposition 230 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 3: party compared to the Liberals. I mean that is not 231 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 3: beyond the realms of possibility. 232 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: No, not at all. 233 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 6: I mean you've only got to look at Nigel Farage 234 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 6: what he's done, you know, And I think the Nationals 235 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 6: have been following that closely as well, and I think 236 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 6: has given them the confidence to really dig in their 237 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 6: heels and stand on their principles and realize that they 238 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 6: can win over Because as you said, they performed very. 239 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 5: Well in the federal election. 240 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 6: I have no doubt they're eyeing off a number of 241 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 6: seats they can pick up and doing their numbers closely. 242 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 6: And I think the lefty, as the lefties in the 243 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 6: Liberal Party, have to acknowledge this and be very careful 244 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 6: of the direction they take. 245 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: Rita. 246 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 3: Now moving on to other issues, the ABC is failing 247 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 3: to walk the talk when it comes to gender equality. 248 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 3: You see, there's a Workplace Gender Equality Agency data released 249 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: today and it shows that the ABC has a median 250 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 3: gender pay gap of nine point eight percent favoring men. However, 251 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: the same agency are revealed last year that Sky News 252 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: Australia does not have a gender pay gap. In fact, 253 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: the women here are paid slightly more than men on average, 254 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 3: just one percent more. Pro looks like the ABC perhaps 255 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 3: needs to launch an investigation into the ABC well. 256 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 5: On this and many other things. 257 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: Rita. 258 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 7: You know, but they can't even define what a woman is, 259 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 7: So how do they know, you know, what the disparity is? 260 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 7: You know, I mean maybe they you know, they're just 261 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 7: deluded by it all. I just find it amusing that 262 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 7: the one organization that they hate most guy is leading 263 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 7: the way. They're just you know, the hypocrites, their bedweathers. 264 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 7: They're pathetic. We know that the quicker that can become cold, see. 265 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: Tina. 266 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: Could we see a policy shift from the coalition if 267 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: it becomes the coalition again, certainly you would accept, expect, 268 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: hopefully the Nationals to take a stronger life and against 269 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 3: the public broadcast because we've seen the Liberals in power 270 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: and they've done nothing to curb. 271 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: The ABC's activism or. 272 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: Even hold them accountable for not living up to their 273 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: own rules. I mean, they're the ones who are pushing 274 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 3: this gender wage gap nonsense constantly, but they don't practice 275 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: it themselves. 276 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 277 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 6: Look, we wasted a lot of years in power not 278 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 6: doing a thing. I mean, Tony have at once one 279 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 6: thing where no minister was allowed to appear. 280 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 5: On the ABC. But you know you need to hit 281 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 5: them where it hurts. It's just ridiculous. 282 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 6: I do think the Coalition formed government, we do need 283 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 6: to slash that ABC budget. No one watches it. It's 284 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 6: of no use, not even the regional areas, where most 285 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 6: regional areas would much prefer. And the study show Sky 286 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 6: is much more popular in the regional areas now than 287 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 6: the ABC, so they serve no purpose anywhere. 288 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: Make them subscription tolerance. That's right, Yeah, that's it. 289 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 3: You want to if you want to view it, you 290 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,239 Speaker 3: for it like you do with Sky News. 291 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: And many other options. 292 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: Now, a new Salvation Army survey has revealed some shocking 293 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 3: data of the This was a survey of vulnerable South 294 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: Australians and more than half of those surveys said they 295 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 3: are skipping meals, while nearly a quarter eating expired or 296 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 3: spoiled food in order to make ends meat, fifty six 297 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: percent said they were skipping meals so that children could 298 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: eat and Tina. Shockingly, pensioners are talking about opting for 299 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: cat food or dog food because that's the only way 300 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 3: they're going to get any sort of nutrition. I mean, 301 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: this is just shocking to read about in a first 302 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: world country. 303 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 5: It's terrible reader. 304 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 6: It really saddens my heart. But it's no surprise. And 305 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 6: this isn't just a recent thing. This has been happening 306 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 6: for a few years now where I live in Sydney, 307 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 6: across the road in the park, and it breaks my 308 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 6: heart every time, and I will make the effort. This 309 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 6: evening there's a woman living in a tent, an elderly woman, 310 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 6: and I thought maybe it was just a one or 311 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 6: two night. I've been told she's been there for weeks, 312 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 6: so this is really really shocking. There are more and 313 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 6: all homeless people when you walk up George Street around 314 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 6: Circular Key. 315 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 5: We've got Vivid starting soon. 316 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 6: I don't know what these pool buggers are going to do, 317 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 6: because many of them the only shelter they get. But 318 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 6: the pensions have been incredibly hard hit and for a 319 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 6: long time have been resorting to eating very little, as 320 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 6: you say, you know, dog or cat food. 321 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 3: It's disgraceful, absolutely just absolutely appalling. Before your ladies go, 322 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 3: I want to just bring you some international news. Italian 323 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 3: Prime Minister Georgia Maloney had a massive diplomatic wins. She 324 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 3: hosted a key trilateral meeting between the US Vice President 325 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 3: JD Vance and the EU Commission and President Ursula von 326 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: der Layan, and she's also now backing Tina Donald Trump's 327 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: suggestion that the Vatican could help mediate talks between Ukraine 328 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: and Russia. This is quite a starring role for Maloney.

The president 503 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 13: himself can't even delegate it to other people if he 504 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 13: wanted to, certainly can't do it if he doesn't have 505 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 13: the wherewithal to do it himself. 506 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 8: Right. 507 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 13: No, this is the party of democracy, the party of 508 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 13: fall the Constitution. Yet they were undermining democracy, undermine the 509 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 13: constitution by running the country essentially by say, behind his back, 510 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 13: but it was in front of his face, and he 511 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 13: couldn't realize what was going on. H This is a 512 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 13: significant and massive legal problem that needs to be sorted out. 513 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 13: And look, first and foremost among the prince lings, where 514 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 13: of course Jill Biden and Hunter Biden. And I don't 515 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 13: have to go look, you did that montage. I don't 516 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 13: have to go into who Hunter Biden was. We all 517 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 13: know he was doing crack cocaine off the back of hookers, right, 518 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 13: I mean, I don't have to go on and on 519 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 13: about what he was doing in his private life. Yet 520 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 13: he was. 521 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 8: Wed. 522 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 13: You just showed it, right, I mean, that was a 523 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 13: really great montage of the Biden's life. Look, Hunter Biden 524 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 13: was in cabinet, was in Oval office meetings, very high 525 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 13: level over Oval office meetings. So it was Joe Biden. 526 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 13: I think the whole country needs to be worried about that. Obviously, 527 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 13: who had controlled the auto pen is another question, right, 528 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 13: who was the person in fact signing these bills, signing 529 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 13: these pardons. It seems like it wasn't. It wasn't Joe 530 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 13: Biden the auto pen. While yes, one is allowed to 531 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 13: use an autopen, which is essentially for those who don't know, 532 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 13: the president has to sign all these things physically, But 533 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 13: there has been a tradition of using this automatic pen 534 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 13: that signed his name. As long as he is there 535 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 13: and watching it happen, who had control of it, we 536 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 13: don't know. And by the way, just so we're totally clear, 537 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 13: Biden ran, and this actually adds is a very interesting question. 538 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 13: Biden ran as a moderate. Biden his whole career prior 539 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 13: to being president was in fact moderate. Yet the whole 540 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 13: country termed hard left, the administrator hard left. While he's 541 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 13: being present, we all scratched our heads and said, it 542 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 13: doesn't seem like who Joe Biden was. Well, now we 543 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 13: know that there was a cabal of people and it's 544 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,479 Speaker 13: administration who were part of the hard left, who were 545 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 13: controlling what was going on. I think this is becoming clear. 546 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 13: This is an absolute scandal of historic proportions. 547 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 3: Reader, that is well said, a scandal of historic proportions. 548 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 3: But back on the book, Jake Tapper has put out 549 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: he's admitted on Meghan Kelly's program he was being promoting 550 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 3: the book everywhere, and he admitted to her that he 551 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: has apologized to Lara Trump for dismissing her in a 552 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 3: really quite a hostile manner when she raised issues about 553 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's cognitive decline back in twenty twenty. 554 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 2: Have a look. 555 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, 556 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: Jake is very clearly a cognitive decline. 557 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable. 558 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 10: You have no I think it's so amazing. It's so 559 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 10: amazing to me that try and figure out an answer 560 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 10: a cognitive decline. 561 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: You need to tell me that what I was suggesting. 562 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 10: Was I think that you were marking his stutter. Yeah, 563 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 10: I think you were marking his stutter. And I think 564 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 10: you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline. 565 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: It's all well. 566 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 3: And good to apologize and to be making these revelations now, Army, 567 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 3: but it's too little, too late in my book, And 568 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 3: Jake Tapper was still covering up Biden's cognitive decline last year, 569 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: almost right up until he dropped out of the reelection race. 570 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 3: So what credibility does he have and what damage is 571 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 3: this book going to do to Joe Biden's legacy. 572 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: Because it does seem to be. 573 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 3: Large suedes of the country who watch CNN, MSNBC and 574 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 3: other leftist media who are surprised by these revelations who 575 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 3: seemed to have completely missed what the rest of us 576 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 3: have been reporting for the last five years. 577 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 13: I mean, the answer is is right, is self evident 578 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 13: that the media has no credibility? Right the debt If 579 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 13: one goes in Ford history and says, okay, media died 580 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 13: in America, and they point to when that happened, It 581 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 13: happened during the Biden presidency. It happened when they were 582 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 13: covering up for what they knew was his inability to govern. 583 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 13: And of course when they covered they try to cover 584 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 13: it up even after that debate, which is when it 585 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 13: actually all the you know, it all blew open. Look, 586 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 13: the question is where do we go from here? 587 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 6: Right? 588 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 13: How are they going to look at Republican conspiracy theories 589 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 13: moving forward? Right, whether or not as Republicans talking about 590 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 13: how the media has conspired on Russia Gate and Russia 591 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 13: Russia Russia, or our crazy idea that COVID came from 592 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 13: a lab in Wuhan, right, or that BLM wasn't really 593 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 13: exactly mostly peaceful. These are all crazy conspiracy theories, right, 594 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 13: every single one of them obvious he proved true. The 595 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 13: question is how they entreat the conspiracy theories of the 596 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 13: right going forward, and Rita, I gotta admit I highly 597 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 13: doubt that they're going to take them anywhere seriously than 598 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 13: they took them before, even though they were proven to 599 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 13: be wrong, and the conspiracy theorists have proven to me 600 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 13: right time and time and time again. Look, they're still 601 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 13: doubling down this. Nothing has changed. I mean, Hakim Jeffries 602 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 13: just talked about how it's a conspiracy theory that we're 603 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 13: saying that they may have known he had debilitating cancer 604 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 13: while he was president. Or David Axelrod saying that we 605 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 13: need to put criticism aside right now, right and asking 606 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 13: questions aside right now. No, David, this is exactly when 607 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 13: we have to be asking questions. This is when we 608 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 13: should be pushing this issue right. No, they have not 609 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 13: given up the ghost. They are not contrite. They are 610 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 13: push forward with this and the whole and all of 611 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 13: America and the world to understand what we're dealing with 612 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 13: when it comes to the media and how they view this. 613 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 13: And by the way, I don't think there's any small 614 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 13: you know, I think there's a connection between the fact 615 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 13: that we're seeing this happen right these stories are coming 616 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 13: out and Trump's approval rating are actually spiking for the 617 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 13: first time. I think people are looking at what the 618 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 13: quote unquote president was before and the president now and say, 619 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 13: I think we have a pretty good comparitive. We had 620 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 13: four years of last four years, So yeah, I think 621 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 13: there's a connection there. 622 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 3: And you make an excellent point on the timing of 623 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 3: this cancer diagnosis, because again this will be called a 624 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 3: right wing conspiracy theory, but I would suggest the majority 625 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 3: of Americans at this point don't believe the official narrative 626 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 3: that that only discovered in recent days that this advanced 627 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 3: cancer exists. 628 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 2: In fact, a number of experts have come out and said. 629 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 3: That's almost impossible to believe, given he is the president 630 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 3: who would be subjected to regular health checkups, fairly thorough checkups. 631 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 3: And it's just to me army, mind blowing that Joe 632 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 3: Biden's family. 633 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 2: Seeing his mental and physical. 634 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 3: Decline, wanted him to run again, wanted him to serve 635 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 3: four more years, and the Democrat machinery were happy to 636 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 3: help him do that until that disastrous debate performance. 637 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 2: It's almost cruel. 638 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 3: I mean, put aside everything else, the lack of transparency, 639 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 3: all the constitutional issues, but just the cruelty to a 640 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 3: man who's obviously not fit to lead. 641 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, and I'll say one of two things happened. Redo, Okay, 642 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 13: I think this is much is clear and none of 643 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 13: them are good. And one is they knew about the 644 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 13: counter diagnosis and how severe it was and held it 645 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 13: back and hit it, which is bad enough, right. And 646 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 13: two is they didn't test him because they knew he 647 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 13: probably had it, didn't want anyone to know, didn't want 648 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 13: him to know, and held back this diagnosis four more years, 649 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 13: leading to a more severe metastating form that's cancer. It's 650 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 13: one of those two things, and neither one are pretty READO. 651 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: No, they're both pretty ugly. 652 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 3: And just the family members is mind blowing that they 653 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 3: would be party to any of that. 654 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 2: Now, this next story should be satire, but sadly it's not. 655 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 3: You'll remember Rachel Levine, formerly Richard Levine, the Biden Administration's 656 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 3: Assistant Secretary for Health. 657 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: Well, he's been. 658 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 3: Honored by a woman's college. Yes, Smith College presented Levine, 659 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 3: a man identifying as a woman, with an honorary degree, 660 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 3: and he also spoke to the school's graduating class. Now 661 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 3: to qualify for this on our Smith College requirements, state 662 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 3: that the college will consider women who are exemplars of 663 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 3: excellence in a wide range of fields, both academic and 664 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,399 Speaker 3: non academic, and the criteria also says the college will 665 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 3: also consider individuals who have had a special impact on 666 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 3: Smith College, on the education of men, or on women's lives. 667 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 3: I don't know, Army, what do you make of this? 668 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 3: To me, it's almost satire material. But we continuously see 669 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 3: men identifying as women being honored with awards that are 670 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 3: normally reserved for just real women. 671 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 13: Yeah, first of all, Rita, if I can admonish you, 672 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 13: it is Admiral Levine, right, and so yes, I salute 673 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 13: Admiral Levine. Look, I gotta be honest, it doesn't really 674 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 13: matter to me. Okay, Smith College. Look, they give honorary 675 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 13: degrees to pretty much anybody. It's really not that big 676 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 13: a deal. I don't think it's I don't think that 677 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 13: part of the story is a big part of the story, 678 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 13: although I do want to point out right is Smith 679 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 13: College itself and the absurdity, nay, the lack of morality 680 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 13: of that of that school, that college. There's a couple 681 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 13: of stories that you may not known about. But Smith 682 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 13: College not that long ago had this story where there 683 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 13: was a black woman who went and was sitting eating 684 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 13: her food in a cafeteria that was closed in back 685 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 13: specifically said no one's allowed to eat this cafeteria for 686 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 13: a number of reasons, and a janitor who was given 687 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 13: that instructions walked up to her and said, excuse me, 688 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 13: but you're actually not allowed to eat here. She then 689 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 13: went to full meltdown mode and said, you are doing 690 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 13: this because I am black. I am eating while black, 691 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 13: not kidding. She had a total hissy fit. 692 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 2: Oh yes, I recall that story. 693 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 13: Well, security guard, that's right. Security guard came in and said, 694 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 13: I'm sorry, you're not gonna be here. What does Smith 695 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 13: College do? They fired the janitor, who was a working 696 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 13: man from the area and the security guard right after. 697 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 13: It was very clear that. 698 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 8: She was wrong. 699 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 13: They were following the dictat of the university themselves. Yet 700 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 13: they fired a blue class, lower class worker because a 701 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 13: black woman was eating in a person. 702 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 5: This is Smith College. 703 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 13: And one last story, if they met. 704 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 3: Smith College, that is who they are. 705 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 2: I mean, we've run out of time. Thank you so 706 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 2: much for your time tonight. 707 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 3: Pleasures stal To carm Premier listen to Alan left fuming 708 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 3: after a stunt that saw manure dumped at her office. 709 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 3: The Liberal m P accused of facilitating that stunt joins me. 710 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 2: Next, welcome back. 711 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 3: Joining me now is the state Liberal member for the 712 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 3: Western Victorian region, Bev MacArthur. Now, Bev, you were present 713 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 3: at the Raleigh yesterday on the steps of Parliament House. 714 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 3: We saw firefighters and farmers in large numbers protesting the 715 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 3: Allen government's new emergency services tax, which, as you say, 716 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 3: punishes the very farmers who helped protect regional communities by 717 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 3: volunteering in the CFA. 718 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 5: Jane, I think you're a fine west. 719 00:40:59,520 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 3: About it. 720 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 13: Did you're also a volunteer? Have a bit ban that. 721 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 7: Tell us the story. 722 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 3: Now your party has pledged to scraped attacks should you 723 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 3: win the state election in twenty twenty six. But that 724 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 3: wasn't the only protest you were present for yesterday. Also 725 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 3: helped a farmer deliver a small gift to listen to 726 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 3: Allan's parliamentary office, a box of cow manure along with 727 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 3: a note reading, dearest Ja Center, I have considered your 728 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 3: levy and here's my feedback. It's bull dust, love, Brutus 729 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 3: and family. Now, the Premier did not take this well 730 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 3: the couple. 731 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 15: Of liberal politicians acted in a disgraceful inappropriate way in 732 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 15: a workplace, in the parliamentary workplace. Well, I condemn that behavior. 733 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 15: You know who hasn't condemned that behavior, the leader of 734 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 15: the Opposition, Brad Baton. 735 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 3: Oh mine, that's a little bit precious, bear, because I 736 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 3: understand that this incident is before the Parliament's presiding offices. 737 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 3: Is there anything you can tell us about this? Are 738 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 3: you restricted in what you can say until it's been resolved? 739 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 8: Well, nobody has comment contacted me, Rita. But all I 740 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 8: can say is this labor government has failed over a 741 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 8: long period of time since they introduced this text to 742 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 8: listen to anybody. They won't answer emails of constituents, they 743 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,280 Speaker 8: won't answer phone calls, they won't attend rallies. They weren't 744 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 8: on the steps of Parliament yesterday. They just do not listen. 745 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 8: And the farming community, and they make up a large 746 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 8: percentage of the CFA volunteer firefighters, are at their wits end. 747 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:51,720 Speaker 8: They're in desperate situations, Rita. The drought, of some estimate 748 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 8: is worse than the nineteen hundred drought. There no water, 749 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 8: there's no fodder, and they can hardly get it from anywhere, 750 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 8: even if it's available from interstate. I understand this fodder 751 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,399 Speaker 8: in Western Australia, but South Australia won't let us bring 752 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 8: it across the border. They're in a terrible situation. The 753 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 8: mental strain on farmers at the moment is terrible and 754 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 8: they're desperate and it's not fair that they impose attacks, 755 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 8: which I am so pleased the Coalition has pledged to 756 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 8: repeal when we defeat this shocking government in November twenty six. 757 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 8: This is what has to happen. You can't just keep 758 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 8: hitting people like this government's doing, and especially people that 759 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 8: feed those inside the tram tracks one hundred percent of 760 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 8: the time. It's a very sad situation out in the country, Rita, 761 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 8: and I'll stand with the farmers and the volunteer firefighters 762 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 8: and the professional firefighters. Every day they're looking after us. 763 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 8: They leave their properties to go and fight fight us, 764 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 8: often on state land, state forests, national parts. That's where 765 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 8: the fist start because of absolutely shocking management by this government. 766 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 8: And now they're going to be hit with one hundred 767 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:24,280 Speaker 8: and fifty percent increase in attacks, which they absolutely can't afford, 768 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:25,800 Speaker 8: especially at this time. 769 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 3: Now, You're right about the drought in parts of Victoria's 770 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 3: it's the worst we've ever seen. It's seen farmers forced 771 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 3: to send thousands of dairy cattle to be slaughtered because 772 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 3: they can't afford to feed them. 773 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 2: Feed costs of sought to record highs. 774 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 3: You've called on Victoria's Minister for Agriculture to address this situation. 775 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 3: What is being done to assist these farmers because there 776 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 3: seems to be a big divide between city folk and 777 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 3: regional people in this state. So many people in the 778 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: city aren't even aware about what's happening, and with this 779 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,760 Speaker 3: crippling drought impacting so many farmers. 780 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 8: Well, thank you Rita for raising the issue, and it's 781 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 8: great that some of the metropolitan media are now picking 782 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 8: this up. And I'm sure people inside the tram tracks 783 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 8: they have great sympathy for the farming community because they 784 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 8: know they work hard. Their price takers, not price makers, 785 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 8: and it's very hard for them to get a product 786 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 8: to market and make a profit in the best of times. 787 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 8: Now when they're confronted by adverse weather conditions, increase rate rises, 788 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 8: increase bank interest rates, and huge increase in their input 789 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 8: costs as well, and then this tax on top it's 790 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,799 Speaker 8: just been the last straw, combined with this drought. I 791 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,760 Speaker 8: know on our farm there's just dirt. You can't see 792 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 8: anything but dirt, and with this a bit to win, 793 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,399 Speaker 8: the topsails blowing away. So I've asked the Minister for Agriculture, 794 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 8: the state minister, to come and look at what the 795 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 8: situation is in our area. See for yourself how desperate 796 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,359 Speaker 8: people are and how desperate the situation is. And there 797 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 8: are dairy farmers that are having to liquidate their herds. 798 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 8: And I was told by a counselor yesterday at the 799 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 8: rally that he'd been phoned by a farmer that morning. 800 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 8: He was just going to have to shoot forty cows, 801 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 8: but tens of thousands are going to the slaughter house. 802 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,800 Speaker 8: And these are productive milking cows. Some of the beef 803 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,399 Speaker 8: cattle that people can no longer retain are being sent 804 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 8: into state. But it's a shocking situation. And what the 805 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,720 Speaker 8: government have handed out is a five thousand dollar grant 806 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 8: that you have to match if you're a farmer. Well 807 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 8: right now they don't have us spare five thousand dollars, 808 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,839 Speaker 8: And in any case, where would ten thousand dollars go. 809 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 8: If you're trying and you've got to invested in infrastructure, 810 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 8: it's absolutely nothing. 811 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 3: And we had the state budget yesterday, Bev. It's grim figures. 812 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 2: There's now the way to look at it. 813 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 3: The Labor Government's annual tax take in Victoria is on 814 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 3: track to hit fifty billion by twenty thirty. You compare 815 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 3: that to what it was when Dad Andrews came to 816 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 3: power back in twenty fourteen. 817 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 2: It was eighteen point three billion. 818 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 3: So eighteen point three to fifty billion, and the state 819 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,239 Speaker 3: debt is on track to hit two hundred billion. You 820 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 3: say you, if you were in power, you would do 821 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 3: something about this emergency services tax. But how can you 822 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 3: afford to This state is under crippling debt, the biggest 823 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 3: in the country. Surely money needs to come from somewhere. 824 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 8: Well, it shouldn't come from those who are in the 825 00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 8: most desperate situation. The Fire services levy, as it was 826 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 8: first introduced, was to pay for fire services, and we 827 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 8: would ensure that that stayed as it was, but all 828 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 8: these other services were funded out of consolidated revenue. They've 829 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 8: just foisted a new property tax on Victorians. Every Victorian, 830 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,720 Speaker 8: every household in Victoria will have one hundred percent increase. 831 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 8: Businesses and enterprises will have a further much higher increase, 832 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 8: and farmers was one hundred and eighty nine percent increase, 833 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,919 Speaker 8: downdown to one hundred and fifty percent. So these core 834 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 8: services of keeping people safe should be the first priority 835 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 8: of government, that's what they should do. The fact that 836 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 8: they run these huge projects over budget, over time all 837 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 8: the time, and they're sucking everything out of the rest 838 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,240 Speaker 8: of the economy to pay for their vanity projects inside 839 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 8: the tram tracks, and they expect people out outside of 840 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,800 Speaker 8: the tram tracks to foot the bill. Bill. It's disgraceful. 841 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 3: Bev MacArthur, thank you so much for your time tonight, 842 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,720 Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have tonight. 843 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 2: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night.
