WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 3 February 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.080 From the sky New Center. This is Paul Murray Live. 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.280 You know, Happy Monday, coming to the man Cape. I've 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.119 got a lot for you tonight. Thoughts with everyone and 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:12.440 dealing with fires, floods, fire and all the rest of it, 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:14.840 of course, people in the Grampians and Victoria and our 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.680 focus about North queens Land in a moment. This is 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:19.520 a big one tonight. You're gonna love it because one 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.000 of our favorites just sent to Namba jimper Price on 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:23.959 the show tonight. She's got the job without trying to 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.599 find a pretty obvious waste and where to say. But 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.520 she's got plenty more to say, and I've got plenty 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.520 more to say about the people already coming for her, 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.960 the great Senator, the hope of the site. On this 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.640 show tonight, No looks now Left is Mac Canavan, James Mora. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.960 They'll go on about all of the events of the 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.559 day that weeken lebs some fun along the way, and 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.800 not just going to talk about Donald Trump and Tariff's 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.360 There are some other very big decisions which have got 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.880 Left is tearing their hair out, which makes me rather happy. 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.040 But I'll get the more of that a little later tonight. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.920 But first yeah, let's go to North Queensland. Strength and 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.280 love to everyone who is dealing with things, particularly around Townsville. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.360 It does go a little higher, it does go lower, 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.520 it does go further inland, or more to say about 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.680 that in a moment. As you can see the images 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.959 coming from the area, it is incredibly difficult. You can 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.240 see what was and what is right now. You can 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.000 see the types of things that people are responding to, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.040 and they are responding to with the resilience that Australians 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.080 always have in these scenarios, I think any person who 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.560 is part of a surging army of volunteers that are 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.160 taking care of strangers or the neighbors that are taking 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.240 care of each other. I love seeing the images of 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.720 people in high pubs that are a little higher in 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.480 the ground, and even with water lapping at their ankles, 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.479 they're still serving the beers and cooking up the sausages, 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.080 trying to make sure that people who are taking care 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:45.800 of everyone else is fed and appropriately hydrated. But this 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.240 is the situation. There are six evacuation centers up and 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.840 down the areas most affected. Four hundred people are in 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.200 them right now. Now. The rain well, as we know, 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.280 the best part of a meter. In fact, one point 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.200 two of rain has fallen the past twenty four hours 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.040 in parts of this area, which means that while the 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.680 rain has while the rain may subside from the intensity 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.359 of the past couple of days, the rain that's a 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.359 little uphill, a little further in is going to start 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.120 heading your way, which means flood waters can continue to rise. 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.240 So please, even if you're an old timer who's seen 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.320 it all before, please leave when they tell you to. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.440 I get it. You would prefer to be in a 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.000 scenario where there's an overreaction than you having to wait 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.200 to the very last minute to be pulled to safety 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.880 in a deinghi where no one knows what's underneath it, 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.680 or being pulled off your roof after a long time 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.519 by a helicopter. Our mates in Charterstowers, I love Charter's Towers. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.919 Beautiful country town. You know our ninety minutes are in 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.400 from Townsville. Shout out to Steve and everyone, particularly at 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.520 the drive in. You know how much I love that place. Well, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.680 drinking water is disrupted as a result of things that 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.160 are happening here, so people are being told please boil 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.400 water if you can bottle it, but do not drink 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.520 the water as it currently is. So just an example 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.160 where our focus might be, say on the biggest city, 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.359 there's stuff that's happening in towns and even further out 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.960 on farms all over the place. Here are some of 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.680 the people having to deal with it. I make this 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.359 the lead story tonight because it is the most important 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.639 thing in the world to these people and those of 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.000 us in Australia who love. 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.400 Them, jump out made dump it out. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:40.240 From frightening and then moments where people are taking care 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.160 of each other. If there aren't people around, then the 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.000 capacity for you to be taken care of. That's how 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.160 serious it is. I get it. You've seen it before. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.600 It goes high, it goes low, this year, that year, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.520 all the rest of it. Right, I get that these 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.200 days there are more warnings, more warning sirens screaming on 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.920 your radio, and it might sometimes feel like overkill. But 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.520 I'm telling you, I'm telling you, if they tell you 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.880 to move, please move. If you've got family that won't move, 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.000 please convince them to move, because we love them and 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.400 we want them to be around. Okay, I prefer overreaction 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:13.440 than an under preparedness here. As for the officials. Here's 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.520 the latest they're telling us. We have not seen the 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:17.479 peak of that flood. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.200 It is expected in the early hours of tomorrow, so 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.360 areas of that low lying black zone area are still 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.039 expected to receive inundation. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.040 Part of the job of every premiere, but in particular 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.120 the Queensland Premiere is to respond to natural disasters like this. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.560 For David Crucifully it is his first as premier. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.000 We're urging residents to please listen to the advice and 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.600 stay in contact with communications. Please don't go back to 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.360 those homes because the modeling is showing that the water 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:52.080 could continue to rise. It's been an amazingly monsoonal event. 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.440 As always, twenty four seven Sky News has our website 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.800 with the latest information, rolling blogs, all the rest of it, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.160 but also we have our weather chain. Here's a little 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.120 explanation about where we are and where we go in 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:04.159 the next twenty four hours. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.159 Multiple locations receiving a month's worth of rain in one day. 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.479 Others like Mount Sofia have seen more than a meter 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.320 of rain in the past week. The Herbert River is 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.880 now finally falling. The concern moving forward though for a 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.080 number of these rivers, especially the Ross River which feeds 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.120 into suburban Townsville. Is that there is significant downpourse forecast 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.159 at a minimum across both Tuesday and Wednesday. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.120 Wild stuff. Be safe, Please be safe, Take care of everyone, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:34.880 no matter whether you've been through it for your first 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.000 time or this is your one hundredth time of doing it, 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.960 because that's part of life in North Queensland. Again, everyone 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.479 in the Grampians in Victoria, I'm aware the bushfire situation 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.400 and all of what I've just said applies to you too, 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.200 even though the danger is of a completely different element. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.640 But strength and love to everyone dealing with it, and 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.160 thank you to everyone who is helping now. On this 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.320 program we have followed you. Enter Price, from a passionate 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.960 Australian who was a local councilor on the Alice Spree 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:04.080 Council all the way through to her barn storming into 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:09.120 the Senate speaking truth to power about the difficulties in 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:14.680 the heart of our country, and her advocacy passion, of course, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.799 led the country to rejecting more talk and a commitment 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.480 to more action about helping the people in Alice Springs. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.920 Of course, Peter Dutton has been by her side, championing 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.160 her all the way into his shadow cabinet, and as 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.000 you will have heard over the past few days, she 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.040 has been promoted. She will, of course has always re 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.920 maintain a complete passion about Indigenous affairs, but her passion 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.240 and her capacity to prosecute an image is now an issue, 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.799 I should say, is now being moved into an area 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.360 where she's now going to start to talk about some 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.200 of the finances of this country. She'll be on the 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:52.960 show a little bit later. But there's a reason I 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.120 am talking about all of this. At the start. The 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.320 left is frightened of how effective Jacinta Nampa Jumper Price 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.479 is at getting to the heart of the matter, exposing 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:09.080 the failures of the system and willing to tell uncomfortable truths. Now, 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.480 remember when she was in Canberra in the early days 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.840 of being a senator and she brought people who were 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:20.600 victims of abuse to Canberra and went from door to 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.200 door to door to media organizations who weren't interested because 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:24.880 it was candidate to the narrative at the time that 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:29.440 was all about changing words in the constitution. Yet she's 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.760 still powered on. Well, she will now do so about 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.280 the finances of this country. She's been moved to the 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.200 position now where she is going to be having a 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.200 look at government efficiency. This is not just your classic 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.240 opposition wastewatch person, but a person who understands where all 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.080 of the money is shuffled around, moved about, wasted, hidden. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.400 She'll be It'll be her job between now and the 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.400 election to expose it and hopefully after the election to 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:54.760 do something about it. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.680 I think the work that you sent it will do, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.600 which will come up to the Prime Minister and cabinet 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.520 portfolio in government, will be to find labour's waste. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.880 But because she is effective, and that is often the 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.960 greatest indication about the loudest voices that scream back at you. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.520 When you are effective, when you are hovering over the target, 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.760 when you are getting close to the big red button 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.480 that industries of people want to protect, they go at you, 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.840 and they go at you very personally. Examples of it 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.960 that are already up and online are trying to float 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:40.679 a ridiculous characterization that just center nampajimper Price is a 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.800 person who, while looking for efficiency in the federal government, 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.280 is living the high life via the taxpayer dollar on 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.439 top of her wage, particularly through things like travel claims. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:54.000 This sort of crap is all over the internet, screeted 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.600 by people who are running for the Senate as well. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.439 Rather rod for a senator who is amongst the top 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.720 spenders on parliamentary expenses in relation to a current position 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.240 considering the new role, plenty of other senators spend way 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:13.959 less than Price, so she's not really efficient with taxpayers money. Now, 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.959 this has been tried a few times. The Sidney Morning Herald, 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:22.120 the Age they tried this. They tried this, remember at 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.480 the heart of the Voice campaign, to pretend that somehow 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.040 there was something inauthentic about a woman who is from 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:35.480 has represented, lives and loves Alice Springs. Now to all 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.520 of the lefty So we're going to try this again, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.959 which is sent to Nampa jimp for Price. I want 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.480 to arm everyone who sees this crap to respond with 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.960 the facts. Okay, now, let's start at the very simple 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.400 level for those who will have no interest in the truth, 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:58.360 but they need to be educated. Obviously. Alice Springs requires 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.920 a lot more travel to get to place like Canberra 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.000 than other parts of our country. It is literally in 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.480 the heart of our country. If you've been you know 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.559 how special the country around it is. If you have not. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.719 You know how difficult some of the times are in 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.319 the town, and if you have truly been to the 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.080 town at night and traveled a little further away from 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:22.080 the lights, you know about the men and particularly women 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.280 and children of which she speaks and represents, truly forgotten people. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.719 To give you an idea if you are going to 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.520 be one of these lazy people that is going to 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.840 try this crap on with this very effective, very passionate 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.040 Australian who should be at the absolute front of our 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:47.400 political class. Alice Springs is hard to get to. In fact, 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.360 I did the numbers for you today. If you want 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.120 to drive from Alice Springs to Darwin, it's fifteen hours. 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.480 If you want to drive to Melbourne, it's a twenty 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.200 three every hour forty nine minute. It is a day 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.440 in the car, no stops, no rests. It's even longer 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.920 if you want to drive to Canberra, because there's not 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:13.800 actually a direct route. You've sort of got to go 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.000 down South Australia Victoria back up, or you've got to 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.959 go over the top through Queensland and down. That is 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:29.839 why just enterprice. Obviously, when possible, we'll try to use 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.679 the fastest form of transport like every other MP is 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.240 entitled to, which of course, is to fly. But let 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:42.040 me explain how difficult flying is from Alice Springs. There 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.520 are no direct flights from Alice Springs to Canberra, and 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:51.199 they're expensive, and the first flight is not when the 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.160 sun comes up. Instead, you actually have to wait for 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.240 the first flight to come from say a place like 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.960 Sydney or Brisbane, to get to Darwin, then turn around 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.400 and go from Darwin to Alice and then that's your 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.040 first chance to get out of there. So I thought 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.439 about this. Okay, let's show how difficult it would be 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:07.920 for at your centerprice or anyone else to go from 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:13.080 Alice Springs to Canberra quickly tomorrow. The first flight leaves 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.520 at eleven forty in the morning, you don't get to 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.720 Sydney till four o'clock. Remember the time zones flip around here. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.160 You then have to wait for an hour and a 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:27.679 half at the airport before at five point thirty you 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.960 get to fly from Sydney and arrive in Camber at 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.559 six point thirty. You can't leave by plane until eleven 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.360 forty in the morning, and you don't get to where 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.719 you're going till six thirty at night, an entire day 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.160 in the air, meaning if you've got meetings on a Monday, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.160 you're probably flying on a Sunday. All right, May I 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.880 continue to again hammer home the point to the idiots 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.760 who are going to try to come after this woman 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.040 pretending that she is something other than what she is 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.959 when you got to fly back just as difficult. Imagine 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.520 the journey of having to go from Camber to Melbourne, 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.760 then having to wait, then going from Melbourne Adelaide, then 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:05.040 flying from Adelaide to Alice Springs. You would leave the 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.679 tarmac at ten in the morning, you get home at 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.400 three point fifteen. That's the reality. And by the way, 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.040 how much does that cost? I did this on webject 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:17.360 today fifteen hundred bucks, So there is no sort of 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.160 you know, thirty dollars Jetstar option, not that any politician 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:21.880 or many of the people that will be hanging it 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.559 on her will be doing that. So yeah, it's expensive 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:30.480 to be a politician in remote regional Australia. It's expensive 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.960 to not live in a capital city. It is expensive 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.360 to fly from the middle of the country. So next 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.760 time you see some sort of garbage story pretending that 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.480 the person in charge of searching for government efficiency is 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.880 a person who just is spending taxpayers money with abandon 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.679 Send them this video because it's bs. They know it, 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.000 and it's up to you to push back as well, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.000 and speaking me off. I've been waiting to do this 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.480 for a couple of days now. The new ad the 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.160 Labour Party has out. I played it for you last night, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.360 so I'm not going to get him the free publicity tonight. 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.280 You know, it's all the Auger Booker, the music, the 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.679 black and white picture of Peter Dutton and this ludicrous 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.240 claim that Australia will be worse off under Peter Dutton 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:20.120 speaking financially now. Albo and Charmers have said this at 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.360 press conferences, but this is how the image is about 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.160 to be ham at home here they are. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.560 You'll be worse off under Dunn. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:32.760 As for the Liberal Party, you remember this was the 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.640 ad that they tried to run against Albanesi quite unsuccessfully. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.200 Turned out to be true by the way, but unsuccessful 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.440 after the last election, which basically was hey, and don't 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:41.920 go for this guy. It's going to get worse. You'll 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.360 be worse again. They were right, Peter, it doesn't For 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.960 his part, responding to all of this garbage. It's the 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.040 whole problem of the government. 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.960 There's nothing they can look to that people can identify 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.880 that the government's achieved over the course of the last 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.720 three years. And so you throw out these red herrings 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.800 and you throw the martin, you start the personal attacks 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.800 because you're trying to distract away from the reality of 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:06.320 the situation. 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.640 Okay, so it's now time to bring the receipts. It 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.280 is now time to go through the record. Okay, this 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.520 is what we were researching over the weekend. This is 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.120 what we were double checking today. All of this I 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.120 have sources for so if anyone would like to double 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.160 check them, I'll gladly send them the links from crazy 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:30.000 places like the Bureau of Statistics. The reason that add 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:35.720 is offensive is because this government, this bloke, promised to 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.080 make it better. Remember this was the promise going into 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.880 the last election. This was their reaction when interest rates 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.320 went up once under the previous government. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:52.120 Australians are getting absolutely smashed by the rising cost of 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:56.400 living on Scott Morrison's watch. This is Scott Morrison's triple 0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:01.160 wheremy of skyrocketing costs of living, rising interest rates and 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.960 falling real wages. This inflation number should be a wake 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.200 up call for a government which is out of touch, 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.840 out of plans and out of time. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.840 And of course people care about how much they are 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.760 paying off when it comes to their homes. Reality is, yeah, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.240 thirty percent of people have paid off the house. If 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.680 you've done that, congratulations, it was hard work. It took 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.200 a whole lifetime to do. Enjoy your garden and the 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.800 house that you have worked incredibly hard for. For thirty 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.480 percent of the country they are paying off the house 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.280 of which they live in. For another thirty percent they 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.640 are renting, which means those homes are brought by someone else. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.560 And presumably there's a lot of mortgages on those. And yes, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.280 I know interest rates for savings accounts different conversation, but 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.520 this is clearly where the extreme bulk of normal middle 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.200 Australia is. Regardless of what a local MP you've been 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.520 voting for for generations, the reality is the extreme cost 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.600 of paying off the home insane. And remember the lipstick 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.520 on the pig of the climate policies rejected in twenty 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.520 nineteen was to pretend that made power prices We're going 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.960 to fall by how much? Again? In twenty twenty five, 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:05.439 which is. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:11.040 Now deducing power prices by two hundred and seventy five dollars. 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.600 By twenty twenty five, two hundred and seventy five dollars 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:14.520 a year. 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.680 Two hundred and seventy five dollars a year to seventy 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:18.840 five by twenty twenty five. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:24.280 We stand by that. But it never happened. Why because 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.159 apparently it doesn't matter that they made the promise. Oh 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.240 you felt for it, crazy, you right, that something as 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.520 clear as that would have been delivered, not in some 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.960 sort of sugar here at twelve months, you know, twenty 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.240 five dollars a month credit your actual the cost of 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:45.080 electricity because of so many wonderful new renewables, would be 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.280 dramatically cheaper. Of course it isn't you know that? And 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.040 there's one hell of a great debate that happened on 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.639 our air here today that I will be reveling in 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.440 showing you in a moment or two's time. But let's 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:59.679 stay here with this ad. Let's stay focused. Their claim 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.440 it'll all be worse under Peter Dutton, after promising that 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:09.080 it would all be better under them. So you're sitting 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:15.480 down because it's time now to pull together three years 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.760 of holding this government to account. As I have often 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:24.720 used the metaphor, the shows like ours and moments like 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.560 this are ones where we really do sort of count 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.240 the grains of sand on the beach and we see 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.600 every little decision that they make. But the reality is 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:37.560 the wider population, for very obvious reasons, their view of 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.719 the beach is sort of from end to end. Well, tonight, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.040 right now, I'm going to put all the grains of 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.520 sand together for you so that you can tell your 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.920 mates that are just looking at the beach that it 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:54.720 ain't the same one that it was three years ago. 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.119 In fact, it is grossly eroded and we're in a 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:02.720 world of trouble. This is the record of Anthony Alberanezi. 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.640 The Labor Party and all of its minions have made 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.320 life worse for Australia. These are not fringe issues, These 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:16.320 are not side issues. These are not countures twelve interst 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:21.760 rate rises under their watch. The average home loan in 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:26.000 Australia is for about five hundred thousand dollars. It's about 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.760 twelve hundred dollars a month that all of these extra 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:33.840 little increases have added up to. That's fourteen thousand dollars 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.880 double that number. If you've got a million dollar mortgage, 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.560 add another fourteen thousand dollars to that. If it's one 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:46.440 point five, another fourteen thousand dollars. If you're on two 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.480 million dollar mortgage, and that is tens of thousands of 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.920 dollars that you did not have to find to pay 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.600 off your home, but you have had to under this bloke. 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.000 Thirty percent of home across this country are in mortgage stress, 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.240 where the percentage of money that you are spending on 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.880 paying off your house is now into a danger zone, 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.640 meaning that it is eating into your capacity to pay 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:12.960 for the rest of your life. Again, I've got the receipts, 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.760 got the data, happy to send anyone the link who 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:20.720 wants to doubt under this government the promise to do 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.280 better that claims the other one will be worse. There 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:30.359 has been twenty one months, seven quarters in a row 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:35.119 of a per capita recession where the citizenry is going 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.919 backwards where they don't have the money to catch up 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:44.200 to the type of bills that like paying off a house, 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.120 higher insurance, all the rest of it are mounting, which 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.320 means that we are in the worst living standards for 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:56.000 Australian since nineteen fifty nine. He reckons it's going to 0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:02.200 get worse under the other bloke. It's horrible under this bloke. 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.439 Twenty seven and a half thousand businesses have gone bust 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.840 since the last federal election. My far right wing think 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.960 tank source on that. The Australian Security Is and Investment 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:22.360 Commission ASSEK twenty seven and a half thousand businesses going 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:28.159 bust since they were elected. Food Bank three point seven 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:32.479 million people every week in Australia go hungry because they 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.480 will run out of food or they don't know where 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:36.879 their meals will come from at the back half of 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.439 the week because the bread runs out and they've got 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:44.560 no money to buy more. According to the current census, 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:48.360 and the numbers have exploded since. According to the homeless 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:52.160 advocacy groups, we have the highest number of homeless people 0:21:52.280 --> 0:22:01.320 in Australia ever, with three million more people on the 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:06.840 verge of becoming homeless because of how difficult it is 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:08.520 to pay for house, how difficult it is to rent 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:09.919 a house. And I'll get to that in a second. 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:16.280 Fifty eight percent of low income households are in rental stress. 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.240 This is where the amount of money that you have 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.879 to spend on rent is way higher than a third 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:27.359 of your income, way higher, meaning that the two thirds 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.000 that's supposed to pay for the rest of your life 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.680 and the kid's life, let alone, the fridge goes bust, 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.800 the cars bug it up, or for whatever reason you 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:37.879 need to get your hands on, you know, two hundred 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:41.960
