Speaker 1: From the sky New Center. This is Paul Murray Live.
Speaker 1: You know, Happy Monday, coming to the man Cape. I've
Speaker 1: got a lot for you tonight. Thoughts with everyone and
Speaker 1: dealing with fires, floods, fire and all the rest of it,
Speaker 1: of course, people in the Grampians and Victoria and our
Speaker 1: focus about North queens Land in a moment. This is
Speaker 1: a big one tonight. You're gonna love it because one
Speaker 1: of our favorites just sent to Namba jimper Price on
Speaker 1: the show tonight. She's got the job without trying to
Speaker 1: find a pretty obvious waste and where to say. But
Speaker 1: she's got plenty more to say, and I've got plenty
Speaker 1: more to say about the people already coming for her,
Speaker 1: the great Senator, the hope of the site. On this
Speaker 1: show tonight, No looks now Left is Mac Canavan, James Mora.
Speaker 1: They'll go on about all of the events of the
Speaker 1: day that weeken lebs some fun along the way, and
Speaker 1: not just going to talk about Donald Trump and Tariff's
Speaker 1: There are some other very big decisions which have got
Speaker 1: Left is tearing their hair out, which makes me rather happy.
Speaker 1: But I'll get the more of that a little later tonight.
Speaker 1: But first yeah, let's go to North Queensland. Strength and
Speaker 1: love to everyone who is dealing with things, particularly around Townsville.
Speaker 1: It does go a little higher, it does go lower,
Speaker 1: it does go further inland, or more to say about
Speaker 1: that in a moment. As you can see the images
Speaker 1: coming from the area, it is incredibly difficult. You can
Speaker 1: see what was and what is right now. You can
Speaker 1: see the types of things that people are responding to,
Speaker 1: and they are responding to with the resilience that Australians
Speaker 1: always have in these scenarios, I think any person who
Speaker 1: is part of a surging army of volunteers that are
Speaker 1: taking care of strangers or the neighbors that are taking
Speaker 1: care of each other. I love seeing the images of
Speaker 1: people in high pubs that are a little higher in
Speaker 1: the ground, and even with water lapping at their ankles,
Speaker 1: they're still serving the beers and cooking up the sausages,
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that people who are taking care
Speaker 1: of everyone else is fed and appropriately hydrated. But this
Speaker 1: is the situation. There are six evacuation centers up and
Speaker 1: down the areas most affected. Four hundred people are in
Speaker 1: them right now. Now. The rain well, as we know,
Speaker 1: the best part of a meter. In fact, one point
Speaker 1: two of rain has fallen the past twenty four hours
Speaker 1: in parts of this area, which means that while the
Speaker 1: rain has while the rain may subside from the intensity
Speaker 1: of the past couple of days, the rain that's a
Speaker 1: little uphill, a little further in is going to start
Speaker 1: heading your way, which means flood waters can continue to rise.
Speaker 1: So please, even if you're an old timer who's seen
Speaker 1: it all before, please leave when they tell you to.
Speaker 1: I get it. You would prefer to be in a
Speaker 1: scenario where there's an overreaction than you having to wait
Speaker 1: to the very last minute to be pulled to safety
Speaker 1: in a deinghi where no one knows what's underneath it,
Speaker 1: or being pulled off your roof after a long time
Speaker 1: by a helicopter. Our mates in Charterstowers, I love Charter's Towers.
Speaker 1: Beautiful country town. You know our ninety minutes are in
Speaker 1: from Townsville. Shout out to Steve and everyone, particularly at
Speaker 1: the drive in. You know how much I love that place. Well,
Speaker 1: drinking water is disrupted as a result of things that
Speaker 1: are happening here, so people are being told please boil
Speaker 1: water if you can bottle it, but do not drink
Speaker 1: the water as it currently is. So just an example
Speaker 1: where our focus might be, say on the biggest city,
Speaker 1: there's stuff that's happening in towns and even further out
Speaker 1: on farms all over the place. Here are some of
Speaker 1: the people having to deal with it. I make this
Speaker 1: the lead story tonight because it is the most important
Speaker 1: thing in the world to these people and those of
Speaker 1: us in Australia who love.
Speaker 2: Them, jump out made dump it out.
Speaker 1: From frightening and then moments where people are taking care
Speaker 1: of each other. If there aren't people around, then the
Speaker 1: capacity for you to be taken care of. That's how
Speaker 1: serious it is. I get it. You've seen it before.
Speaker 1: It goes high, it goes low, this year, that year,
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. Right, I get that these
Speaker 1: days there are more warnings, more warning sirens screaming on
Speaker 1: your radio, and it might sometimes feel like overkill. But
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm telling you, if they tell you
Speaker 1: to move, please move. If you've got family that won't move,
Speaker 1: please convince them to move, because we love them and
Speaker 1: we want them to be around. Okay, I prefer overreaction
Speaker 1: than an under preparedness here. As for the officials. Here's
Speaker 1: the latest they're telling us. We have not seen the
Speaker 1: peak of that flood.
Speaker 3: It is expected in the early hours of tomorrow, so
Speaker 3: areas of that low lying black zone area are still
Speaker 3: expected to receive inundation.
Speaker 1: Part of the job of every premiere, but in particular
Speaker 1: the Queensland Premiere is to respond to natural disasters like this.
Speaker 1: For David Crucifully it is his first as premier.
Speaker 4: We're urging residents to please listen to the advice and
Speaker 4: stay in contact with communications. Please don't go back to
Speaker 4: those homes because the modeling is showing that the water
Speaker 4: could continue to rise. It's been an amazingly monsoonal event.
Speaker 1: As always, twenty four seven Sky News has our website
Speaker 1: with the latest information, rolling blogs, all the rest of it,
Speaker 1: but also we have our weather chain. Here's a little
Speaker 1: explanation about where we are and where we go in
Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours.
Speaker 5: Multiple locations receiving a month's worth of rain in one day.
Speaker 5: Others like Mount Sofia have seen more than a meter
Speaker 5: of rain in the past week. The Herbert River is
Speaker 5: now finally falling. The concern moving forward though for a
Speaker 5: number of these rivers, especially the Ross River which feeds
Speaker 5: into suburban Townsville. Is that there is significant downpourse forecast
Speaker 5: at a minimum across both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Wild stuff. Be safe, Please be safe, Take care of everyone,
Speaker 1: no matter whether you've been through it for your first
Speaker 1: time or this is your one hundredth time of doing it,
Speaker 1: because that's part of life in North Queensland. Again, everyone
Speaker 1: in the Grampians in Victoria, I'm aware the bushfire situation
Speaker 1: and all of what I've just said applies to you too,
Speaker 1: even though the danger is of a completely different element.
Speaker 1: But strength and love to everyone dealing with it, and
Speaker 1: thank you to everyone who is helping now. On this
Speaker 1: program we have followed you. Enter Price, from a passionate
Speaker 1: Australian who was a local councilor on the Alice Spree
Speaker 1: Council all the way through to her barn storming into
Speaker 1: the Senate speaking truth to power about the difficulties in
Speaker 1: the heart of our country, and her advocacy passion, of course,
Speaker 1: led the country to rejecting more talk and a commitment
Speaker 1: to more action about helping the people in Alice Springs.
Speaker 1: Of course, Peter Dutton has been by her side, championing
Speaker 1: her all the way into his shadow cabinet, and as
Speaker 1: you will have heard over the past few days, she
Speaker 1: has been promoted. She will, of course has always re
Speaker 1: maintain a complete passion about Indigenous affairs, but her passion
Speaker 1: and her capacity to prosecute an image is now an issue,
Speaker 1: I should say, is now being moved into an area
Speaker 1: where she's now going to start to talk about some
Speaker 1: of the finances of this country. She'll be on the
Speaker 1: show a little bit later. But there's a reason I
Speaker 1: am talking about all of this. At the start. The
Speaker 1: left is frightened of how effective Jacinta Nampa Jumper Price
Speaker 1: is at getting to the heart of the matter, exposing
Speaker 1: the failures of the system and willing to tell uncomfortable truths. Now,
Speaker 1: remember when she was in Canberra in the early days
Speaker 1: of being a senator and she brought people who were
Speaker 1: victims of abuse to Canberra and went from door to
Speaker 1: door to door to media organizations who weren't interested because
Speaker 1: it was candidate to the narrative at the time that
Speaker 1: was all about changing words in the constitution. Yet she's
Speaker 1: still powered on. Well, she will now do so about
Speaker 1: the finances of this country. She's been moved to the
Speaker 1: position now where she is going to be having a
Speaker 1: look at government efficiency. This is not just your classic
Speaker 1: opposition wastewatch person, but a person who understands where all
Speaker 1: of the money is shuffled around, moved about, wasted, hidden.
Speaker 1: She'll be It'll be her job between now and the
Speaker 1: election to expose it and hopefully after the election to
Speaker 1: do something about it.
Speaker 6: I think the work that you sent it will do,
Speaker 6: which will come up to the Prime Minister and cabinet
Speaker 6: portfolio in government, will be to find labour's waste.
Speaker 1: But because she is effective, and that is often the
Speaker 1: greatest indication about the loudest voices that scream back at you.
Speaker 1: When you are effective, when you are hovering over the target,
Speaker 1: when you are getting close to the big red button
Speaker 1: that industries of people want to protect, they go at you,
Speaker 1: and they go at you very personally. Examples of it
Speaker 1: that are already up and online are trying to float
Speaker 1: a ridiculous characterization that just center nampajimper Price is a
Speaker 1: person who, while looking for efficiency in the federal government,
Speaker 1: is living the high life via the taxpayer dollar on
Speaker 1: top of her wage, particularly through things like travel claims.
Speaker 1: This sort of crap is all over the internet, screeted
Speaker 1: by people who are running for the Senate as well.
Speaker 1: Rather rod for a senator who is amongst the top
Speaker 1: spenders on parliamentary expenses in relation to a current position
Speaker 1: considering the new role, plenty of other senators spend way
Speaker 1: less than Price, so she's not really efficient with taxpayers money. Now,
Speaker 1: this has been tried a few times. The Sidney Morning Herald,
Speaker 1: the Age they tried this. They tried this, remember at
Speaker 1: the heart of the Voice campaign, to pretend that somehow
Speaker 1: there was something inauthentic about a woman who is from
Speaker 1: has represented, lives and loves Alice Springs. Now to all
Speaker 1: of the lefty So we're going to try this again,
Speaker 1: which is sent to Nampa jimp for Price. I want
Speaker 1: to arm everyone who sees this crap to respond with
Speaker 1: the facts. Okay, now, let's start at the very simple
Speaker 1: level for those who will have no interest in the truth,
Speaker 1: but they need to be educated. Obviously. Alice Springs requires
Speaker 1: a lot more travel to get to place like Canberra
Speaker 1: than other parts of our country. It is literally in
Speaker 1: the heart of our country. If you've been you know
Speaker 1: how special the country around it is. If you have not.
Speaker 1: You know how difficult some of the times are in
Speaker 1: the town, and if you have truly been to the
Speaker 1: town at night and traveled a little further away from
Speaker 1: the lights, you know about the men and particularly women
Speaker 1: and children of which she speaks and represents, truly forgotten people.
Speaker 1: To give you an idea if you are going to
Speaker 1: be one of these lazy people that is going to
Speaker 1: try this crap on with this very effective, very passionate
Speaker 1: Australian who should be at the absolute front of our
Speaker 1: political class. Alice Springs is hard to get to. In fact,
Speaker 1: I did the numbers for you today. If you want
Speaker 1: to drive from Alice Springs to Darwin, it's fifteen hours.
Speaker 1: If you want to drive to Melbourne, it's a twenty
Speaker 1: three every hour forty nine minute. It is a day
Speaker 1: in the car, no stops, no rests. It's even longer
Speaker 1: if you want to drive to Canberra, because there's not
Speaker 1: actually a direct route. You've sort of got to go
Speaker 1: down South Australia Victoria back up, or you've got to
Speaker 1: go over the top through Queensland and down. That is
Speaker 1: why just enterprice. Obviously, when possible, we'll try to use
Speaker 1: the fastest form of transport like every other MP is
Speaker 1: entitled to, which of course, is to fly. But let
Speaker 1: me explain how difficult flying is from Alice Springs. There
Speaker 1: are no direct flights from Alice Springs to Canberra, and
Speaker 1: they're expensive, and the first flight is not when the
Speaker 1: sun comes up. Instead, you actually have to wait for
Speaker 1: the first flight to come from say a place like
Speaker 1: Sydney or Brisbane, to get to Darwin, then turn around
Speaker 1: and go from Darwin to Alice and then that's your
Speaker 1: first chance to get out of there. So I thought
Speaker 1: about this. Okay, let's show how difficult it would be
Speaker 1: for at your centerprice or anyone else to go from
Speaker 1: Alice Springs to Canberra quickly tomorrow. The first flight leaves
Speaker 1: at eleven forty in the morning, you don't get to
Speaker 1: Sydney till four o'clock. Remember the time zones flip around here.
Speaker 1: You then have to wait for an hour and a
Speaker 1: half at the airport before at five point thirty you
Speaker 1: get to fly from Sydney and arrive in Camber at
Speaker 1: six point thirty. You can't leave by plane until eleven
Speaker 1: forty in the morning, and you don't get to where
Speaker 1: you're going till six thirty at night, an entire day
Speaker 1: in the air, meaning if you've got meetings on a Monday,
Speaker 1: you're probably flying on a Sunday. All right, May I
Speaker 1: continue to again hammer home the point to the idiots
Speaker 1: who are going to try to come after this woman
Speaker 1: pretending that she is something other than what she is
Speaker 1: when you got to fly back just as difficult. Imagine
Speaker 1: the journey of having to go from Camber to Melbourne,
Speaker 1: then having to wait, then going from Melbourne Adelaide, then
Speaker 1: flying from Adelaide to Alice Springs. You would leave the
Speaker 1: tarmac at ten in the morning, you get home at
Speaker 1: three point fifteen. That's the reality. And by the way,
Speaker 1: how much does that cost? I did this on webject
Speaker 1: today fifteen hundred bucks, So there is no sort of
Speaker 1: you know, thirty dollars Jetstar option, not that any politician
Speaker 1: or many of the people that will be hanging it
Speaker 1: on her will be doing that. So yeah, it's expensive
Speaker 1: to be a politician in remote regional Australia. It's expensive
Speaker 1: to not live in a capital city. It is expensive
Speaker 1: to fly from the middle of the country. So next
Speaker 1: time you see some sort of garbage story pretending that
Speaker 1: the person in charge of searching for government efficiency is
Speaker 1: a person who just is spending taxpayers money with abandon
Speaker 1: Send them this video because it's bs. They know it,
Speaker 1: and it's up to you to push back as well,
Speaker 1: and speaking me off. I've been waiting to do this
Speaker 1: for a couple of days now. The new ad the
Speaker 1: Labour Party has out. I played it for you last night,
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to get him the free publicity tonight.
Speaker 1: You know, it's all the Auger Booker, the music, the
Speaker 1: black and white picture of Peter Dutton and this ludicrous
Speaker 1: claim that Australia will be worse off under Peter Dutton
Speaker 1: speaking financially now. Albo and Charmers have said this at
Speaker 1: press conferences, but this is how the image is about
Speaker 1: to be ham at home here they are.
Speaker 3: You'll be worse off under Dunn.
Speaker 1: As for the Liberal Party, you remember this was the
Speaker 1: ad that they tried to run against Albanesi quite unsuccessfully.
Speaker 1: Turned out to be true by the way, but unsuccessful
Speaker 1: after the last election, which basically was hey, and don't
Speaker 1: go for this guy. It's going to get worse. You'll
Speaker 1: be worse again. They were right, Peter, it doesn't For
Speaker 1: his part, responding to all of this garbage. It's the
Speaker 1: whole problem of the government.
Speaker 6: There's nothing they can look to that people can identify
Speaker 6: that the government's achieved over the course of the last
Speaker 6: three years. And so you throw out these red herrings
Speaker 6: and you throw the martin, you start the personal attacks
Speaker 6: because you're trying to distract away from the reality of
Speaker 6: the situation.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's now time to bring the receipts. It
Speaker 1: is now time to go through the record. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is what we were researching over the weekend. This is
Speaker 1: what we were double checking today. All of this I
Speaker 1: have sources for so if anyone would like to double
Speaker 1: check them, I'll gladly send them the links from crazy
Speaker 1: places like the Bureau of Statistics. The reason that add
Speaker 1: is offensive is because this government, this bloke, promised to
Speaker 1: make it better. Remember this was the promise going into
Speaker 1: the last election. This was their reaction when interest rates
Speaker 1: went up once under the previous government.
Speaker 7: Australians are getting absolutely smashed by the rising cost of
Speaker 7: living on Scott Morrison's watch. This is Scott Morrison's triple
Speaker 7: wheremy of skyrocketing costs of living, rising interest rates and
Speaker 7: falling real wages. This inflation number should be a wake
Speaker 7: up call for a government which is out of touch,
Speaker 7: out of plans and out of time.
Speaker 1: And of course people care about how much they are
Speaker 1: paying off when it comes to their homes. Reality is, yeah,
Speaker 1: thirty percent of people have paid off the house. If
Speaker 1: you've done that, congratulations, it was hard work. It took
Speaker 1: a whole lifetime to do. Enjoy your garden and the
Speaker 1: house that you have worked incredibly hard for. For thirty
Speaker 1: percent of the country they are paying off the house
Speaker 1: of which they live in. For another thirty percent they
Speaker 1: are renting, which means those homes are brought by someone else.
Speaker 1: And presumably there's a lot of mortgages on those. And yes,
Speaker 1: I know interest rates for savings accounts different conversation, but
Speaker 1: this is clearly where the extreme bulk of normal middle
Speaker 1: Australia is. Regardless of what a local MP you've been
Speaker 1: voting for for generations, the reality is the extreme cost
Speaker 1: of paying off the home insane. And remember the lipstick
Speaker 1: on the pig of the climate policies rejected in twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen was to pretend that made power prices We're going
Speaker 1: to fall by how much? Again? In twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: which is.
Speaker 4: Now deducing power prices by two hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 7: By twenty twenty five, two hundred and seventy five dollars
Speaker 7: a year.
Speaker 4: Two hundred and seventy five dollars a year to seventy
Speaker 4: five by twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: We stand by that. But it never happened. Why because
Speaker 1: apparently it doesn't matter that they made the promise. Oh
Speaker 1: you felt for it, crazy, you right, that something as
Speaker 1: clear as that would have been delivered, not in some
Speaker 1: sort of sugar here at twelve months, you know, twenty
Speaker 1: five dollars a month credit your actual the cost of
Speaker 1: electricity because of so many wonderful new renewables, would be
Speaker 1: dramatically cheaper. Of course it isn't you know that? And
Speaker 1: there's one hell of a great debate that happened on
Speaker 1: our air here today that I will be reveling in
Speaker 1: showing you in a moment or two's time. But let's
Speaker 1: stay here with this ad. Let's stay focused. Their claim
Speaker 1: it'll all be worse under Peter Dutton, after promising that
Speaker 1: it would all be better under them. So you're sitting
Speaker 1: down because it's time now to pull together three years
Speaker 1: of holding this government to account. As I have often
Speaker 1: used the metaphor, the shows like ours and moments like
Speaker 1: this are ones where we really do sort of count
Speaker 1: the grains of sand on the beach and we see
Speaker 1: every little decision that they make. But the reality is
Speaker 1: the wider population, for very obvious reasons, their view of
Speaker 1: the beach is sort of from end to end. Well, tonight,
Speaker 1: right now, I'm going to put all the grains of
Speaker 1: sand together for you so that you can tell your
Speaker 1: mates that are just looking at the beach that it
Speaker 1: ain't the same one that it was three years ago.
Speaker 1: In fact, it is grossly eroded and we're in a
Speaker 1: world of trouble. This is the record of Anthony Alberanezi.
Speaker 1: The Labor Party and all of its minions have made
Speaker 1: life worse for Australia. These are not fringe issues, These
Speaker 1: are not side issues. These are not countures twelve interst
Speaker 1: rate rises under their watch. The average home loan in
Speaker 1: Australia is for about five hundred thousand dollars. It's about
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars a month that all of these extra
Speaker 1: little increases have added up to. That's fourteen thousand dollars
Speaker 1: double that number. If you've got a million dollar mortgage,
Speaker 1: add another fourteen thousand dollars to that. If it's one
Speaker 1: point five, another fourteen thousand dollars. If you're on two
Speaker 1: million dollar mortgage, and that is tens of thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars that you did not have to find to pay
Speaker 1: off your home, but you have had to under this bloke.
Speaker 1: Thirty percent of home across this country are in mortgage stress,
Speaker 1: where the percentage of money that you are spending on
Speaker 1: paying off your house is now into a danger zone,
Speaker 1: meaning that it is eating into your capacity to pay
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. Again, I've got the receipts,
Speaker 1: got the data, happy to send anyone the link who
Speaker 1: wants to doubt under this government the promise to do
Speaker 1: better that claims the other one will be worse. There
Speaker 1: has been twenty one months, seven quarters in a row
Speaker 1: of a per capita recession where the citizenry is going
Speaker 1: backwards where they don't have the money to catch up
Speaker 1: to the type of bills that like paying off a house,
Speaker 1: higher insurance, all the rest of it are mounting, which
Speaker 1: means that we are in the worst living standards for
Speaker 1: Australian since nineteen fifty nine. He reckons it's going to
Speaker 1: get worse under the other bloke. It's horrible under this bloke.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven and a half thousand businesses have gone bust
Speaker 1: since the last federal election. My far right wing think
Speaker 1: tank source on that. The Australian Security Is and Investment
Speaker 1: Commission ASSEK twenty seven and a half thousand businesses going
Speaker 1: bust since they were elected. Food Bank three point seven
Speaker 1: million people every week in Australia go hungry because they
Speaker 1: will run out of food or they don't know where
Speaker 1: their meals will come from at the back half of
Speaker 1: the week because the bread runs out and they've got
Speaker 1: no money to buy more. According to the current census,
Speaker 1: and the numbers have exploded since. According to the homeless
Speaker 1: advocacy groups, we have the highest number of homeless people
Speaker 1: in Australia ever, with three million more people on the
Speaker 1: verge of becoming homeless because of how difficult it is
Speaker 1: to pay for house, how difficult it is to rent
Speaker 1: a house. And I'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 1: Fifty eight percent of low income households are in rental stress.
Speaker 1: This is where the amount of money that you have
Speaker 1: to spend on rent is way higher than a third
Speaker 1: of your income, way higher, meaning that the two thirds
Speaker 1: that's supposed to pay for the rest of your life
Speaker 1: and the kid's life, let alone, the fridge goes bust,
Speaker 1: the cars bug it up, or for whatever reason you
Speaker 1: need to get your hands on, you know, two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars, you're in a world of financial pain.
Speaker 1: Many people are frightened about whether they're going to have
Speaker 1: a roof over their head for themselves or their kids
Speaker 1: worse under the next guy. This is the standard under
Speaker 1: this bloke. And even then, if you're looking for a
Speaker 1: rental house, how's this? Before we show the stat I
Speaker 1: want you to think of all of the houses that
Speaker 1: in Australia. I think there's about ten million homes dwellings.
Speaker 1: Obviously a little bit higher than that, right because not
Speaker 1: everyone lives by themselves family groups. What percentage of all
Speaker 1: of the houses in all of Australia I'm saying, all
Speaker 1: of the houses in all of Australia, all the granny flats,
Speaker 1: all the units, how many do you reckon are available
Speaker 1: for rent right now? Answer? Zero point seven percent, not
Speaker 1: even one percent of all of the houses in all
Speaker 1: of Australia. All of the places that are that if
Speaker 1: it was available to rent, are available to rent right now,
Speaker 1: looking for tenants right now, have a full lease sign
Speaker 1: on the properties right now. Yet this government has brought
Speaker 1: in one point three million people to add to those
Speaker 1: rental cues, to add to the people that are bidding
Speaker 1: on the auction, to add to the queue at the
Speaker 1: local hospital. The view from the beach ain't great anymore.
Speaker 1: And for three years, every night, hammer, hammer, hammer, because
Speaker 1: they promised it would be better. This is not your
Speaker 1: traditional team Red, team blue. This is about people who
Speaker 1: lied to millions of people to gain power. They got
Speaker 1: that power and they made things worse. For the extreme
Speaker 1: majority of Australians. It is worse. And if they want
Speaker 1: to argue why, it's all cyclical and everywhere in the
Speaker 1: world was going through this, ah, that was the case
Speaker 1: three years ago. You made it personal, then you own
Speaker 1: it now. I could go on about our schools, about
Speaker 1: our health, about the TRIPLEO systems, I could talk about
Speaker 1: many other grains of sand on the beach. And we've
Speaker 1: got many days between now and whenever this election happens.
Speaker 1: But I want people to understand what you know and
Speaker 1: what I know. It's worse under this bloke. Now we
Speaker 1: are living the nightmare now. Oh but it's slightly better
Speaker 1: than it was three weeks ago. No, it's demonstrably worse
Speaker 1: than when you got the job. There is a very
Speaker 1: small sliver of people, and good luck to you if
Speaker 1: you're better off than you're worth three years ago. But
Speaker 1: for everyone else, much worse off. Let alone a government
Speaker 1: and how it funds itself. When they sit there and
Speaker 1: clap themselves for their stewardship of the economy, tens tens
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars aren't even in that book. So
Speaker 1: when they say they've got a surplus, the reality is
Speaker 1: it's a deficit because all of the money that we
Speaker 1: needs to spend is way more than any of the
Speaker 1: money that is currently coming in. And what do they
Speaker 1: do with that money that's coming in. They hired a
Speaker 1: football stadium of public servants. Oh, these are teachers and nurses,
Speaker 1: and no it's not. The huge bulk of it is
Speaker 1: in the back room, the pen pushes, the eclip board holders,
Speaker 1: the computer, then people. They've also increased taxes on Australians
Speaker 1: for the choices they make in their life that are
Speaker 1: about the simple pleasures of life, because you're frightened about
Speaker 1: the roof over your head, how hard you've had to
Speaker 1: work to just hold on. So fingers crossed. In five
Speaker 1: years from now, if it's really bad, we can sell
Speaker 1: the joint and it's a little higher than.
Speaker 8: What it was.
Speaker 1: The taxes on fuel, the taxes on cigarettes, the taxes
Speaker 1: on booze, all higher than they've ever been because this government,
Speaker 1: this prime minister, that treasurer, that finance minister, decided to
Speaker 1: turn it up. And perhap, perhaps one of the worst
Speaker 1: elements of all of this is that the single greatest
Speaker 1: source of revenue to the Australian government is not the GST,
Speaker 1: is not company tax. It's you workers on pay as
Speaker 1: you go, paycheck to paycheck, the people who are barely
Speaker 1: holding on at the first of the month, lett alone
Speaker 1: the fifteenth if they get paid monthly. That's why your
Speaker 1: living standards are where we are. So they can cut
Speaker 1: however many ads they want, they can push it out
Speaker 1: through all the media that will help throw glitter at
Speaker 1: the problem and pretend that everything's amazing, and Jesus, won't
Speaker 1: it be worse after we are living the nightmare? Spare
Speaker 1: me the scare because we are living the nightmare. You
Speaker 1: have a chance to change it, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1: Please share this video when it's online at skynews dot
Speaker 1: com do Au because we count the grains of sand.
Speaker 1: But tonight the view from the beach wasn't particularly better
Speaker 1: for the people that were speaking on the behalf of
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister trying to again pretend that everything is awesome.
Speaker 1: We've turned the corner. Isn't everything great? Parliament back this week.
Speaker 1: Tania Plippisik, of course, is the person who, if the
Speaker 1: Labour Party members actually had a choice, would be the
Speaker 1: leader of the Labor Party. But a faction all this,
Speaker 1: that and the other, and Albo has waited his time,
Speaker 1: which means she's constantly pushed to the side. Well, she's
Speaker 1: so proud of this government and its achievement in a
Speaker 1: seat where she wins in an absolute canter. She's not
Speaker 1: doing the red color thing anymore. Instead she's holding onto
Speaker 1: the purple so you know, vote for me. I'm such
Speaker 1: a proud Labor person. I aim Labor when I'm dropping
Speaker 1: the letterbox thing off in the mail. Well, she was
Speaker 1: asked on breakfast Television today and of course breakfast television,
Speaker 1: breakfast radio. This is where huge swathes of compulsory voting
Speaker 1: Australians get a little taste of this and a little
Speaker 1: taste of that, and they got a taste today of
Speaker 1: a government who doesn't know what they're talking about. Or
Speaker 1: when it comes to that caravan and in northwestern Sydney,
Speaker 1: the mining explosives. You know the story and what the
Speaker 1: Prime minister knew and when he knew it. How's this
Speaker 1: for some questions? And good on the host for well saying,
Speaker 1: I call bs.
Speaker 8: But this is the difference between the police working with
Speaker 8: the government and the police issuing a press release about
Speaker 8: what they're telling the government. We're not talking about a
Speaker 8: prime minister.
Speaker 9: Should have been told about something so big.
Speaker 8: The Prime minister works hand in hand with our Australian
Speaker 8: federal police. He didn't go work hand in hand with
Speaker 8: I'm not going to talk about it, Matt. That is
Speaker 8: the point. We don't give a running commentary about ongoing
Speaker 8: police investigations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or the reality that we all know is the
Speaker 1: situation here. And then another one of the surrogates that
Speaker 1: were sent out today and geez, I've got a special
Speaker 1: spot in my heart for Tim Ayre's labor senator up
Speaker 1: there with Don Farrell doing his bit in the trade portfolio,
Speaker 1: sucking up to China. So of course we can hold
Speaker 1: onto the seats that matter. This is the bloke who
Speaker 1: had this response to a mere discussion in the Senate
Speaker 1: to have a proper inquiry into COVID so we could say,
Speaker 1: make sure that people don't die by themselves next time.
Speaker 10: There is a wellspring, a sort of fitted wellspring of
Speaker 10: COVID conspiracy theorists, and some of them, some of them,
Speaker 10: some of them inhabit the benches over there. And there is,
Speaker 10: of course, and always has been a group of people
Speaker 10: in the community who you know, mobilized by concerns about
Speaker 10: kem trails or lizard people or or fluoride conspiracies, which
Speaker 10: which some of these characters are also attracted to.
Speaker 9: Also also into the fluoride conspiracy theory stuff they're on,
Speaker 9: They're on the Pizzagate material, they're on, they're on all
Speaker 9: of these things. On the drip for every Internet conspiracy
Speaker 9: theory that there is, the JFK stuff, the Roswell stuff,
Speaker 9: it's all.
Speaker 1: You're all into all that stuff. I get it.
Speaker 11: The radicalization pathway that is engaged here by these propositions.
Speaker 1: Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Shot enough
Speaker 1: today on with Laura Jays and Laura I love when
Speaker 1: she's got this little look in her eye. Well you know,
Speaker 1: she's not going to put up with it anymore. She's
Speaker 1: going to put up with the garbage where he's on
Speaker 1: there today and trying to make it about Peter Dutton
Speaker 1: and nuclear power and when it all be worse under him.
Speaker 1: She knows what the reality is and she just hit
Speaker 1: this bloke right between the eyes, have a look at
Speaker 1: him trying to change the subject. And good on her
Speaker 1: for saying and no paler. Back to the talking point,
Speaker 1: back to the question, back to what I actually asked you.
Speaker 1: Well done, l Joe.
Speaker 11: You don't make electricity prices and energy prices lower for
Speaker 11: austral And industry and households by making them higher.
Speaker 1: That's what That's what Peter Batons need. That's not exactly
Speaker 1: a revelation I asked you about.
Speaker 12: Your plan is a nuclear plan? Can we stick on that?
Speaker 12: What is the total?
Speaker 9: Let me let me just the renewable plan.
Speaker 11: Let me let me let me just make this point, Laura,
Speaker 11: Peter Dunton's nuclear react to strategy in terms of about
Speaker 11: your medium right which.
Speaker 12: Where That's a pretty simple question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's.
Speaker 11: It's a it's a question that that is that the
Speaker 11: Energy Minister would be very happy to engage with you about.
Speaker 1: Sensational whole thing up right now it's gone news dot com.
Speaker 1: That are you and up on my Facebook page as well.
Speaker 1: Just go searching for Paul Murray life right quick break
Speaker 1: back with more looking forward to Matavan, James Morrow. You
Speaker 1: sit to Nampa, jimper Price or Killer no Filler, wherever
Speaker 1: you are in the country, You've got the best seat
Speaker 1: in the house. Matt Canavan, James Morrow. You know they are,
Speaker 1: You know where they're from, You know why we have
Speaker 1: them on the show, and you know they no looks,
Speaker 1: no leftiest. Lad's lovely to see you so. Joe Halen,
Speaker 1: Transport Minister in New South Wales. The story is outrageous
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty dollars that she's not going to
Speaker 1: pay back to the taxpayer because the chauffeur was driving
Speaker 1: her up and down for some drinks on Australia Day.
Speaker 1: We now learn that the chauffeur was also running kids
Speaker 1: to school sport. Yet mins won't Sacker. Why does she
Speaker 1: still have a job?
Speaker 13: James, Well, you know this is a great question, Paul,
Speaker 13: and I think that this is really starting to rebound
Speaker 13: on the premiership of Chris Bins. And now Chris Bins
Speaker 13: has come through since coming to power in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 13: The nice guy, the happy guy above it all. You know,
Speaker 13: all that is showing really poor judgment on his part
Speaker 13: because you know what people out there a watch from
Speaker 13: New South Wales, I might not know this. Joe Halen
Speaker 13: was the first of his ministers to come into real
Speaker 13: strife over a couple of different appointments of a government
Speaker 13: staffer who she was using for political work, the Transport
Speaker 13: Department secretary.
Speaker 1: All of this she was protected.
Speaker 13: And then we've had a train strike in New South
Speaker 13: Wales protected, a late metro protected and now this she's
Speaker 13: not going. And the thing is she is Labor Royalty, Paul,
Speaker 13: and this is part of the problem here. You know,
Speaker 13: she's very well connected. She worked for Alberdezi when he
Speaker 13: was Deputy Prime Minister of the old Rudd Gillard a machine,
Speaker 13: a lot of you know, all these sort of ties
Speaker 13: in and so you know she's and so it's time
Speaker 13: to dis launch as hard. But you know's he's the premier.
Speaker 13: He needs to show some leadership here and also admit
Speaker 13: really that if he had sort of this problem two
Speaker 13: years ago, this would not be blown up in his
Speaker 13: feace now because now we don't know what's next.
Speaker 1: He can't trust her. Well as a man who's working
Speaker 1: for the paper that's doing such great work on all
Speaker 1: of this, I'm sure that you know there's plenty more
Speaker 1: that will be around the corner because they're all wait,
Speaker 1: because there always is. They just always is once this starts,
Speaker 1: and they do it to themselves, not the media organizations
Speaker 1: that are revealing what they do to themselves. Matt, Queensland
Speaker 1: pulls the government on the green hydrogen garbage. You must
Speaker 1: be happy.
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think this was only a matter of time, Paul.
Speaker 3: Already private investors had backed out of this program and
Speaker 3: the only thing that was stopping it dying was the
Speaker 3: former Queensland government had promised so much on hydrogen, put
Speaker 3: so much on hydrogen jobs that they weren't able without
Speaker 3: shocking lapse of judgment on their behalf walk away from it.
Speaker 3: I mean, the problem is that hydrogen has been more
Speaker 3: over sold than the Trump mean coin. It is not
Speaker 3: ready for well, I hope no one invests events down.
Speaker 3: It's way down today.
Speaker 1: Someone sent me.
Speaker 3: A big We could have made some money for timing.
Speaker 3: Timing is everything name comes, but not with hydrogen. The
Speaker 3: time is just not right for it. It's not mature technology.
Speaker 3: I've got no problem. We should be doing with hydrogen
Speaker 3: right now is investing in research. Put some money into
Speaker 3: the universities, some really smart people. Maybe they can crack
Speaker 3: it and we'll have something in the decades to come.
Speaker 3: But instead, what's happened here is because the Labor Party
Speaker 3: had a political problem on coal jobs in central Queensland
Speaker 3: and the Hunter Valley. They couldn't support the coal industry.
Speaker 3: They couldn't support the men and women, hard working men
Speaker 3: and women those industries. They've gone out there and said,
Speaker 3: oh look, we're going to shut down your coal industry,
Speaker 3: but we'll have all these hydrogen jobs. And they made
Speaker 3: all these promises that these hydrogen jobs would be here
Speaker 3: within years.
Speaker 1: Well none of.
Speaker 3: Those promises are coming true because it's just not able
Speaker 3: to be produced commercially at the moment. And I think
Speaker 3: the lesson here is the politicians have got to stop
Speaker 3: telling lies to people. These are lies.
Speaker 1: They knew they were lies.
Speaker 3: They're happy to lie about it because they want to
Speaker 3: protect their job, and now they put thousands of other
Speaker 3: Australian jobs at risk through their lying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, James, it feels like again sort of part of
Speaker 1: the theme that I talked about at the start, about
Speaker 1: you know, counting the grains of sand versus the view
Speaker 1: of the beach, right, all of that business torture metaphor.
Speaker 1: But I didn't best. I think people are at that
Speaker 1: moment where enough right, enough of just you know, you
Speaker 1: making the constant announcements about oh, well, because we're pushing
Speaker 1: in this direction, we'll just keep going. If the reality
Speaker 1: is it's more expensive, it's unliable, and and and this,
Speaker 1: and unproven that they were just tipping it in because
Speaker 1: they believed in it, not because they knew what the
Speaker 1: outcome would be.
Speaker 13: Well, not only that they believed in it, I mean
Speaker 13: that they didn't understand it, right, Okay, because a green
Speaker 13: hydrogen list remember it's not an energy source, it's a
Speaker 13: storage mechan so it's very different to power generations, so
Speaker 13: you don't remember that. But how that nobody believes any
Speaker 13: of the stuff, you know, do you think anybody believes
Speaker 13: this whole sort of thing where they're tipped two billion
Speaker 13: dollars in to make green steel, that anybody believes that
Speaker 13: this is anything more than a government subsidy to an
Speaker 13: industry to keep their support and keep jobs here. No
Speaker 13: one believes it's about the environment. It's the same thing
Speaker 13: with all this stuff. Nobody believes, really truly that renewables
Speaker 13: work to bring your power bills down if you're on
Speaker 13: the grid.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way.
Speaker 13: Nobody believes us. You know, we saw in the Australia
Speaker 13: all these stories about different businesses and power bills up
Speaker 13: in the food services, real all these sorts of things,
Speaker 13: you know, and all of that filters through. Everybody knows it,
Speaker 13: and industry knows that. People know it, and I think
Speaker 13: the government knows it, but they can't admit it. And
Speaker 13: that's why there's so much trouble right now.
Speaker 1: So Matt to what James was just talking about. Great
Speaker 1: thing in the Australian today about food producers be got surprise,
Speaker 1: surprise to make anything. It costs an absolute shedlight of
Speaker 1: money when it comes to power. But can I also
Speaker 1: just extend this too. I want people to think about
Speaker 1: saying their average suburban food court. Right, if you are
Speaker 1: able to strike up a relationship and have a conversation
Speaker 1: with the person who owns the thing how much their
Speaker 1: power costs your eyes? Will you will go I don't understand.
Speaker 1: How are there that many honey chickens to sell to
Speaker 1: pay these freaking power bills?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: But do you think that it is behoven on industry,
Speaker 1: on small business In the same way that the Left
Speaker 1: is always very good at being able to show their
Speaker 1: advocacy by putting a sticker on something, why doesn't business
Speaker 1: come out more aggressively and say did you know it
Speaker 1: costs X thousand dollars to have this chicken shop open today? Well?
Speaker 3: I think there's a couple of reasons for that, Paul.
Speaker 3: But before I get to that, I do want to
Speaker 3: say thank you to those businesses that have put their
Speaker 3: head above the parapet this morning in the Australian and
Speaker 3: beld the cat on this. It does take a little
Speaker 3: bit of courage to do that, and good on for them,
Speaker 3: and courage is contagious, So hopefully others will come forward
Speaker 3: now and tell these stories. There is no doubt that
Speaker 3: you'll pay more for groceries and for your food because
Speaker 3: we've lost control of our energy system. It is very
Speaker 3: energy intensive the production of food from the farm right
Speaker 3: through to the food court. There's a lot of energy involved,
Speaker 3: and the higher the energy prices, the high you're going
Speaker 3: to pay for food. I think the reason a lot
Speaker 3: of businesses, particularly large businesses, won't come out and say
Speaker 3: these things, is because the government has a big stick
Speaker 3: behind their back that they'll whack anybody but does so.
Speaker 3: They have a thing called the safeguard mechanism, which is
Speaker 3: just another word for a carbon tax and a well
Speaker 3: in word for a carbon tax. Correct, and Minister Chris
Speaker 3: Bowen can set that carbon tax at the stroke of
Speaker 3: a pen. He can make you pay double, triple, whatever
Speaker 3: he likes to do. And so, if you're a business
Speaker 3: that's potentially could be whacked by this, what are you
Speaker 3: going to do? You're probably not going to raise your
Speaker 3: voice and bring attention to yourself.
Speaker 1: Well, may I suggest a potential campaign for your good
Speaker 1: self and other people to actually start to sort of
Speaker 1: break this stuff apart and put that in the form,
Speaker 1: because we need to get the information out there. Again,
Speaker 1: information is what he's going to determine, not just about
Speaker 1: feelings here about an election and a well informed people
Speaker 1: the makeup of this stuff, knowing the cost, knowing the
Speaker 1: clips of the ticket, they'll be just as paid off
Speaker 1: as anyone who watches this show, because we pay attention
Speaker 1: to that stuff, all right, Trump and tariffs. So it'll
Speaker 1: be fascinating to see what happens in the next twenty
Speaker 1: four hours as sort of America A dawns to all
Speaker 1: of this, as stock markets, all the rest of it. Now,
Speaker 1: two things that we know Trump has wanted, which is
Speaker 1: lower prices for US consumers. He's saying maybe not right
Speaker 1: off the bat, and he loves the high stock market.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 1: If the first couple of weeks he gets the opposite,
Speaker 1: does he walk away from it?
Speaker 13: No, I don't think so. I think he sticks with
Speaker 13: it because I think that his mindset. He's a nineteenth
Speaker 13: century president, right, he is in the mold of nineteenth
Speaker 13: century men. William McKinley. Owder, it's anybody out there who's
Speaker 13: a history buff girl, read about your home William McKinley
Speaker 13: and his work in protection in tariffs to build the
Speaker 13: American economy back on track after the eighteen ninety three panic.
Speaker 13: It's a fastating story. He thinks that way. One of
Speaker 13: the first things that he did was re rename Mount McKinley,
Speaker 13: which had been changed to Denali, correct back to Mount.
Speaker 13: Here's a key, there's a telling that. So, and we're
Speaker 13: already seeing in things like Panama saying, oh, hang on,
Speaker 13: we're gonna chin out of the canal, and other countries saying, well,
Speaker 13: let's see what we can do here. We're gonna work together.
Speaker 13: He's going to get his way on this. So just
Speaker 13: I think everybody needs to panic in all the headlines.
Speaker 13: But well, Trump's gonna blow up the world economy with this.
Speaker 13: How many years we're hearing this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, we'll see you down the road, see
Speaker 1: what happens. Yeah, yeah, Look, I just hope we're talking
Speaker 1: about that sort of old school president. Maybe you know,
Speaker 1: the next summit, if there is one ever in the future.
Speaker 1: Putin Trump horseback right, putin no shirt Trump, keep it on,
Speaker 1: keep it on, keep let's see what that wants. All right,
Speaker 1: Thank you, senator. Enjoy your time in Camber. I know
Speaker 1: how much you love it. James. You'll be covering it
Speaker 1: all of course in the Telegraph and seeing us here
Speaker 1: on Sky News quick Break back with more, she said,
Speaker 1: an ampergener price. Next, pushing back on the garbage, but
Speaker 1: talking about just how much waste there is in the
Speaker 1: federal government. What can be cut? What's she going to
Speaker 1: go after? We'll talk to the great lady next. Thanks
Speaker 1: for watching. I know you don't care about the Grammys,
Speaker 1: and if you've probably heard something about them, you've gone
Speaker 1: that Sheila's nude. Oh, but she's an Australian, like, are
Speaker 1: we proud? I don't know, right, And you know most
Speaker 1: of the artists and the guy who had the castle
Speaker 1: on his head whatever. Beyonce. Beyonce beats Chris Stapleton for
Speaker 1: Best Country Album. That's a travesty. Beyonce awesome. The Texas
Speaker 1: song was great. Chris Stapleton amazing. I've been swimming in
Speaker 1: his music over summer, and yeah, if you haven't checked
Speaker 1: out his gear please he is absolutely magnificent and I
Speaker 1: could talk to you for days about it. Travesty today.
Speaker 1: But in the tradition of the award show, I have
Speaker 1: in my hot little hand, well, we've sort of ruined
Speaker 1: the surprise. I was going to do a whole thing.
Speaker 1: Babman's Bay the first place we are going to for
Speaker 1: our town this year, Badman's Bay. I was going to
Speaker 1: announce it, but I had that all in my heead
Speaker 1: and I should have told the control room my apologies,
Speaker 1: team and viewers. Town. It's gone to news dot com
Speaker 1: that are you Bateman's Bay, Sunday the twenty thirty February. Now,
Speaker 1: our plan with outtown this year is to try to
Speaker 1: find the biggest rooms we possibly can to fill them
Speaker 1: with the most people we possibly can. Okay, so don't
Speaker 1: wait till the last minute. Don't hit me up when
Speaker 1: I'm walking up and down the street. Oh sorry, Free tickets,
Speaker 1: first in, first dress, best dressed. Right now, Outound, it's
Speaker 1: going to use dot com that are you looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing you in a few weeks time. Bateman's Bay
Speaker 1: on the twenty third joining us right now. The hope
Speaker 1: of the side just into namper Gimp for price of course,
Speaker 1: a passionate Australian and I want to say congratulations on
Speaker 1: a promotion. She gets further and further towards the harder government,
Speaker 1: the harder power, and that's exactly where a good woman
Speaker 1: like her should be. Congratulations mate, Ah, thank.
Speaker 12: You so much, Paul. And I feel like it's been forever, like, howp.
Speaker 1: Going wait too long?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 1: Look you look amazing, you look great, I look yeah,
Speaker 1: still myself right, but let's talk here, Okay. So I
Speaker 1: dealt with in some detail at the start of the
Speaker 1: show already this crap that floats around on the internet. Oh,
Speaker 1: just enter price gear. She loves a good travel please
Speaker 1: please you live in the middle of the country. I
Speaker 1: literally looked. It costs fifteen hundred dollars and take two
Speaker 1: days for you to be able to basically fly from
Speaker 1: Alice to Canberra. This garbage, it always comes at you,
Speaker 1: But doesn't it also tell you that you're right over
Speaker 1: the target if the right people are pissed, you're right
Speaker 1: on the target, baby.
Speaker 12: Absolutely right over the target.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you now they've I mean, they've got
Speaker 2: it wrong anyway, because it's not it wasn't my travel
Speaker 2: they were looking at. It was my whole office expenses
Speaker 2: and travel, of which is half been half the cost
Speaker 2: of the former Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Bernie. So maybe
Speaker 2: they want to double check my expenses against some of
Speaker 2: some of the other senators and Lower House members as well.
Speaker 2: It's certainly less than the current Indigenous Affairs ministers.
Speaker 12: But haters are going to hate.
Speaker 2: Of course, they're going to come out and then they're
Speaker 2: going to attack because that's what they enjoy doing most.
Speaker 12: But they should get their right before they go ahead
Speaker 12: and do so.
Speaker 1: So let's get to the focus of what you're trying
Speaker 1: to do right now. You've spoken about some of the
Speaker 1: decisions made in the era of Thatcher. We know what's
Speaker 1: playing out in the United States right now. Give me
Speaker 1: an idea about the process. All right, like you very
Speaker 1: small team, that's the way opposition works. What is what
Speaker 1: you're going to consider success in this portfolio between now
Speaker 1: and the election? To look.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I guess I take it from having
Speaker 2: you've been working within the indigenous portfolio so far and
Speaker 2: recognizing that there is so much waste that is not
Speaker 2: actually hitting the ground nor improving the lives, particularly of
Speaker 2: our most marginalized, and so looking taking a fine tooth
Speaker 2: comb and looking at where that waste exists, where the
Speaker 2: duplication exists, where you know you can use funds to
Speaker 2: invest into practical measures that are going to produce outcomes.
Speaker 12: Is you know how I'm going to.
Speaker 2: Work in this particular portfolio. But right across the board,
Speaker 2: with all my shadow cabinet colleagues, but also.
Speaker 1: That great idea that it's like, you know, you've seen
Speaker 1: an example of decision making and waste and that can
Speaker 1: be replicated across multiple portfolios. You know how they push back,
Speaker 1: which is any suggestion of any you know, they promise
Speaker 1: they give you a dollar and say I'll give you
Speaker 1: a ten in five years time you get into government
Speaker 1: say yeah, we'll pay you the dollar, but we're not
Speaker 1: going to give you the other nine cut there's a
Speaker 1: cutters of the promises of never just enterprise, all the music,
Speaker 1: all the.
Speaker 8: Rest of it.
Speaker 1: So how do you fight this fight because you know
Speaker 1: that's how they're going to come at you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look absolutely, I mean, you know, Australia has have
Speaker 2: been confronted with the cost of living.
Speaker 12: Crisis. The government has the spending outrageous to.
Speaker 2: The point where it's made everybody's lives miserable. And part
Speaker 2: of what we want to do is get Australia back
Speaker 2: on track ultimately. I mean, you know, doing ridiculous things
Speaker 2: like the corporate welfare spend where they put thirteen point
Speaker 2: seven billion dollars toward paying minors to do what they're
Speaker 2: going to do anyway. For example, Twiggy Forest's you know,
Speaker 2: dream of creating green hydrogen, which is now abandoned.
Speaker 12: I mean that's not a little amount of money.
Speaker 2: Thirteen point seven billion dollars or the one billion dollars
Speaker 2: for the quantum computer, which our own scientists, chief scientists
Speaker 2: here in Australia has said could be done at the
Speaker 2: same speed here in Australia within the private sector.
Speaker 12: So you know, where there's ways of being able.
Speaker 2: To do things better and to support our own economy
Speaker 2: here in Australia.
Speaker 12: They're the sorts of things that we'll be looking.
Speaker 2: At going forward and cutting ridiculous things like you know,
Speaker 2: forty million dollars for the Treasurer's spin unit. We certainly
Speaker 2: won't be holding an expensive four hundred and fifty million
Speaker 2: dollar referendum that you know, this government, you know, the
Speaker 2: Prime Minister knew who was going to lose anyway, but
Speaker 2: still went ahead and divided our narration at the same
Speaker 2: time while doing it. And you know, a lot of
Speaker 2: my colleagues are already indicated to me areas at which
Speaker 2: they'd like to see money better invested and less waste.
Speaker 1: I love you, You're a rock star. I could talk
Speaker 1: all night. We will give you greater time and maybe
Speaker 1: even do a whole hour with waste if at any
Speaker 1: time you'd like to put it out. We love you mate,
