WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 20 January 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:06.680 From the sky Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Hello, 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.160 Happy Monday, Come on into the man Cave. So much 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.039 to do tonight. I can't wait to deliver what we've 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.840 got for you, most importantly, no sooks, no lefties, the 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.360 way you like it and the way it's definitely going 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:18.880 to be tonight to you here on Paul Murray Live 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.040 with Matt Canavan and James Morrow as our guests in 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.599 the man Cave and in his own man Cave in Queensland. 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.040 It's Christmas Eve for Trump fans. The big Guy is 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:33.080 going to be coming down the stairs with presents for everyone. 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.320 Executive order here, Executive order there, preview for in a second. 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.840 And Die Lee, the KK killer of the last election. 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.680 Well she's going round up against the Labour Party. You 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.240 think they've worked out how to knock her off. I 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.919 don't think they've got a chance. We'll talk to her 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.440 a little bit later as part of our ever trending 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.199 eye towards that upcoming election. Now you may will have 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.600 heard that the latest opinion polls are not good for 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.120 the Prime Minister. They are the same as the ones 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.880 towards the end of last year, and they now show 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.960 that Peter Dudden is there and level with Anthony Abinezy 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.319 as the preferred prime minister. I'll give more detail about 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.600 that a little bit later, but we have two very 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.039 different ways of trying to convince Australians to vote the 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.200 way they want us to at this upcoming election. Peter 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.560 Dunton has been giving major speeches where he explains his values. 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.720 Remember this great line from his speech in Melbourne. 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.880 That we send our children to school for an education, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.160 not for an indoctrination. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.440 Well in Brisbane, he continued on the weekend, hitting it 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.480 out of the park with the three questions which have 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:34.679 an obvious answer. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.080 The coalition, the Liberal Party, of the National Party, of 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:38.560 the LMP. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.200 We are the party of sport business. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.800 We are the party of managing the economy. We know 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.000 how to fix up labors miss We've done it before 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.160 and we will do it again after this election. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.640 As for the Prime Minister, well yet again another day, 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.200 another not one but two billion dollars. Not his money, 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.920 your money. Money that of course will not turn up 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.400 in a budget if they happen to pop one out 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.480 before the federal election. Why it's all investments, you see. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.800 Therefore it is off budget. But we decided to go 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:10.120 back over the twenty days that we have been together 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.400 in twenty twenty five and have a look at the 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.840 Prime minister's wild spending, because a desperate and weak politician 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:19.960 is getting wilder by the day. Have a look at 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.640 this stuff, right, join me over here today two billion, 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:29.160 ten million five days ago, then five million, then twenty million, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:34.520 but we keep going three billion. There was also the 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:39.960 best part of four point two billion. Another seven point 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:45.800 two billion dollars. Now all of this has added up 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.880 to billions, literally billions of dollars that have been promised 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.160 by the Prime Minister, extraordinary amounts of money, extraordinary amounts 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.480 of money, which, to be honest, he should be embarrassed by, 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.360 but of course he's not because he thinks somehow this 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.160 is all going to turn it around. That's the number 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.920 that he is currently promising when it comes to the 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.960 upcoming election. But guess what, it's not moving the polls 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.400 because in this election year, one thing is very clear 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.440 as we must remain laser focused every night, the key questions, 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.760 the key data, and no one's waking up surprise. But 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.080 as it was in twenty nineteen, it is again in 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.080 twenty twenty five nothing is inevitable. Minority government is not 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.320 inevitable for this government, likely but not inevitable, but it 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.200 doesn't Being able to get into a position to form 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:34.800 a minority government not inevitable, yet not impossible either, So 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.000 we have to pick keep an eye on the data. 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.480 The best data is, of course, the book is they 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.320 all stay, the coalition is going to form government. Doesn't 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.840 know which type they say. There's going to be a 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.160 change of government at this election. And the latest poll 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.840 in the Financial Review today shows us that the ALP 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.680 their primary vote is basically exactly where it was at 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.280 the last election. Now that means it will be able 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.280 to hold on too many of its seats. However, however, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.600 important to note here that the primary vote at thirty 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.120 two percent basically the same as the last election. For 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.320 the LNP, you can see that they are back up 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.000 now to the magical forty. If there is a four 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.600 in front of their number, then they can win an election. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.240 In fact, they most likely would win an election. The 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.720 X factor, as always the teals the fact that the 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.240 independents across the country are hitting at fifteen percent. Well, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.240 this of course matters in lots of different areas. It 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.400 matters from Dyli in Western Sydney through to Bobcatter in 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.400 North Queensland. Of course, it also means the Teals the 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.680 Greens thirteen percent and there was no number given for 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.280 one nation or anything else that is on the deck. 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.400 That means in a two party preferred as you saw 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.960 before fifty one forty nine, a change of government potentially 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.480 on its way. As for the overall trend of things, thankfully, 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.039 the Financial Review puts together the poll of polls where 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.680 they show us the image heear of time since the 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.800 two thousand and twenty two federal election where they went 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.680 up and then they went down, down and down, and have 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.760 been sub the best part of fifty certainly for the 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.680 part us twelve months and if not slightly longer depending 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.760 on your different pole. But the bit that is going 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.760 to cause the Prime minister worry, despite the fact there's 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.800 a billion here and a billion there, an announcement every 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.799 single day hoping that somehow people will will run towards 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.440 a prime minister that they've otherwise wanted to throw into 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.200 the bin. Well preferred prime minister. Let's have a look 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.160 at this. Forty three percent for the Prime minister. Forty 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.240 three percent for Peter Dunton. It's the exact same findings 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.880 as the Resolve poll from a few weeks ago, now 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.920 that had them at thirty five each with a much 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.640 bigger undecided number. But look at that number, just four 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.120 percent of Australians still haven't made their mind up, just 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.279 four percent. And as always, if you take undecided split 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.440 it fifty to fifty, well they both end up on 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.440 forty five. Now if it goes you know, three to one, 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.920 well obviously one of them is going to pull ahead here. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.640 But generally speaking, unless the government is absolutely guaranteed to 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.640 be terf the sitting prime minister remains the preferred prime minister. 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.479 But if the opposition leader overtakes the prime minister, you 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.880 can start to put your bets on with those bookies. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:06.400 But the left immediate reinforcements are there. Our old mate 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:11.120 lefty Laura Tingle, who's been hosting over there on Taxpayer TV. Well, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:15.880 she of course, writing in Taxpayer article on the Taxpayer website, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.680 says that Peter Dunn't can't dodge the spotlight as the 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:25.040 election draws closer or his unresolved problems. There's something nobody's 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:26.840 really seen about this guy. That they're willing to put 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.599 level pegging with the current Prime minister. Quote. It feels 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.719 like for all the world that the Coalition is relying 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.880 on the disgruntlement of voters with the government for what 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.880 they are really in for when it comes to tough 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.320 times for a lot of people, rather than actively producing 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.560 serious policies to do nothing about. So she's now having 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.960 a go at the Liberal Party for being too small 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.320 a target, when of course I didn't notice any criticism 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.440 or in fact any reference to what little was offered 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.000 of the small target at the last election of Anthony Abernezi, 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:03.080 where the promise was this, Remember that the Labor government will 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.160 lower the cost of living. That was the promise. That's 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.800 what they got the job. That's what they sat in 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.280 front of the twenty seven minion Australians as the board 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.400 of directors and say we will lower the cost of living. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.880 None of that has happened, not one bit of it 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.120 has happened. In fact, everything way higher under this government, 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.440 you know it from everything from the cost of eggs 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.160 all the way through to trying to pay off a house. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.440 Oh but Laura's not done yet. She's trying to find 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:32.280 the crack inside the Dutton armor, and she thinks, well, 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.240 to play the old tactic, let's go to the anonymous sources. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.880 Some believe that Dutton is just not comfortable talking economics. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.480 These some apparently are members of his own team. Whether 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.080 he is or isn't, there are increasing frustrations among some 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:52.800 of his colleagues that it needs to be done. This 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:57.480 is the classic Camber game, right, Oh, the leader doesn't 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.000 have the full support of the team. There's some discriment 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.640 with the tactics that they're putting in place. So then 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.320 all of the camera people turn around and rather than 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.680 talking about the values that have been expressed in the speeches, 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.920 the lies that are there for all to see, the 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.560 failures that also are as clear as they to all Australians. No, no, no, 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.560 the question that comes from the professional political classes Prime 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.320 Minister about what Laura Tingle says, do you have the 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.280 full support of every MP about everything you are ever doing? 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.920 And then the story gets written up Dutton unable to confirm. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.600 Everyone thinks he is amazing on every point. It's a game. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:36.679 It's one of the many games. One of you, the 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.440 many silver bullets that they are going to try to 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.600 fire in the direction of the person who the Poles 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.320 are telling us consistently is now even pegging with the 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.200 Prime Minister who isn't even at the end of his 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.840 first term. I'll explain the issues about why that's the case. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.400 More polling on that in a moment or two is time. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.440 But don't forget as well every time when Lifty Laura 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.199 Tingle or the people who are her anonymous sources play 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.480 this game. She thought that Australians response to Peter doesn't 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:06.400 saying that we need to lower immigration and stop foreign 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.960 buyers being able to buy Australian property for the first 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.760 two years of his Prime ministership. Why he doesn't talk 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.680 about this more often I don't know, but still that 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.240 is his policy. Remember what she thought would happen that 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.400 racist whites would turn on anyone who looked different at 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.240 an auction. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.240 Major pulling the callity of us be saying, as Nicky says, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.840 you know everything that's going roll in this country is 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.400 because of my grants, and you know I had a 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.800 sudden flash of people turning out to try to rent 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.800 a property or at an auction and they look a 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.760 bit different. What have you defined different? 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:42.280 As? 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.679 Basically he has given them licensed. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.440 To their views whatever, But where are their games. I've 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.199 been around long enough to know how they play them, 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.920 and I can see them coming a mile off. They 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.719 are going to go full personal. They think that they 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.040 can do the full Trump on Morrison and the full 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.240 Morrison on. But they think they can do all of that. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.880 But when Australians are feeling the way they currently are 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.800 about issues, I don't think they're going to care what 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.720 the lefty establishment is going to try to do. You 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.719 see in the same opinion poll, Let's have a look 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.000 at the issues and what people consider to be the 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.680 priority issues. Put simply, you get people in a room, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.240 you ask them to mark out of one hundred what 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.760 the number one priority is for them going into the 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.040 next federal election. Have a look at this. Seventy three 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.200 percent say cost a living. What was that promise that 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.960 they made a couple of years ago that things would 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.200 be lower under a labor government. Well, at the end 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.000 of their first term as we head into an election, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.559 seventy three percent of people say it's a number one issue. Therefore, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.680 the government has not killed the issue off. In fact, 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.560 in my view, they've made things worse. As I've been 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.560 talking about particularly in our State of the Race segment 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.280 which each every Sunday, we're going to do now and 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.679 I'm really excited about this, which is on Sunday night. 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.559 Michael Krog is going to be here as well as 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.760 somebody from a polling company who's going to tell us 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.840 the research they're getting. And Michael knows all the tactics right. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.280 And I mentioned that there is a factor in and 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.079 around this election that I think there are people who 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.839 are willing to vote Liberal for the first time in 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.760 their life, or maybe even Greens the first time in 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.120 their life, if they think it is a way of 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.600 their kids being able to afford to home. How you 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.160 work this out, I don't know. We know the federal 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.760 government's position is, oh, will help buy the house for you, 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.440 and then you have to pay us back. Of course, 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:23.960 do you have to double check with them if you 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:25.880 have to do renovations or put in an air conditioner. 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.800 Who knows, great idea move on. As for the opposition, 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.000 their position is that the kids should be able to 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.400 use part of their super Why because yes, it'd be 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:34.719 a chunk of change at the start, but they'll be 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.959 able to rebuild it as the value of their home 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.640 would go up, and ultimately, when you play financial coplunk, 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.400 all of the money ends up working out. I think 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.400 housing is a big issue. This poll again shows us 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:51.400 that forty two percent of people say that it is 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.800 a very significant issue to them, deeper into the top five. Now, again, 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:55.920 all of this doesn't have to add up to one 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.920 hundred because it's each issue. How do you rank it 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.920 out of one hundred. The fact that nothing is over 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.560 fifty percent other than cost of living tells you that's 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.040 the election. So the prime ministic can run around with 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.760 the billion here and a billion there and pretending that 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.800 he's going to sure up the sea wall of an 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.440 electorate that he desperately needs to hold on to. But 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.880 if the people who are visiting that sea wall don't 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.440 have enough money to buy ice cream to walk along it, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.080 guess what's going to happen? Health and social care, managing 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.440 the economy. That's your top four. And guess what is 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.880 now above climate change, crime and social order. Now, of 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.480 those issues, you'd have to say that the change of government, well, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.320 the vibe would be then with them. When it comes 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:38.360 to cost of living and managing the economy and crime 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.559 and social order, you'd have to say that towards the 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.800 left would be things like housing and obviously health and 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.040 social care, which is generic issues. But once you start 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.040 to get down to the single figures again, knocked out 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.200 of the top five. The climate change election, the climate 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.280 change war. Guess what the issues are all lining up 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.880 along with where people are telling posters they are planning 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.400 to put their vote, which means one of the smartest 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.720 brains in that Camber Press gallery. And yes, while I 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.080 pet with a very very broad brush, I do save 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:07.719 just a few little dots here and there for the 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.440 common sense people, including the great Phil Cury writing in 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.280 the Australian Financial Review. You must read his stuff because 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.240 he says here when interpreting the Pole and all of 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.760 the information that I have just given you. Fundamentally, however, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.800 the Pole remains dire for labor. When looked at as 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.679 a whole, it lags the Coalition and Dutton on every 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.960 meaningful indicator, including economic management and the issue on the 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.200 issue of the management, sorry, of the issues that matter 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:38.000 most of voters. Moreover, in the last month, during which 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.320 Dutton has pledge universal nine laws, community funding for security, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.199 cameras and lighting, and law and order has now jumped 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.120 up three points. It's up into fifth. What has it replaced? 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.199 Climate changed down by six and out of the top five. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.280 This is the most interesting because he's got data that 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.160 I assume they're published in the next couple of days, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.240 but it tells us who Australian voters are backing on 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.240 the key issues of the five issues, cost of living, housing, health, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.520 economic management, and law and order. The Coalition has a 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:10.240 strong double digit lead in four of those areas. Labor 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:15.200 has a seven point lead in health. Everything else, including housing, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.920 including the idea of superannuation for your kids to be 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:23.080 able to afford a home or grandkids. It's all flowing 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.960 Dutton's way. Hence why there will be more attacks. There 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.320 will be more games, there will be more anonymous sources, 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.760 there will be more former ghostly prime ministers who will 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.760 come out to try to tell us all that is terrible. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.160 Don't forget the Prime minister. The day after the Voice 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.240 was defeated, he fired up the dirt unit. And there 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.200 are plenty of people in and around Australian politics who 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.000 are happy with the arrangements they currently have with the 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.520 current administration. They've got plenty of access and they like 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.200 the way things are. They most likely wouldn't have the 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.120 same access under a new prime minister, so they'll do 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.760 everything they can to a very least benefit of the doubt, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.440 but most likely spin the ball in the Prime Minister's favor. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.520 My summer has been nothing but country music. Gonna see 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.280 Luke Combs in Brisbane this weekend, Chris Stapleton, Well, I 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.800 can't wait. He is my new music god. Like wow, incredible, 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.520 mind blown about how amazing he is. And then for 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.680 my kids, which means me too. We've seen Wicked a lot. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.520 In fact, I've seen Wicked three times. We've already got 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.640 it on the DOV thing so we can watch it 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.360 at home. We've paid that sort of stupid price to 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.760 get My kids love this movie right, They dance, they sing. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.120 It is such a joy to see your kids, all 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.360 little ones running around after this movie. And yeah it's 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.720 got too much workness, but who cares. They love it, 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.560 which means I love it. Shout out to the girls 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.360 if they're watching right now, and their way to somewhere 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.760 special for the next little while. But we've laughed at 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:53.360 places like the UK who decide to put ratings that 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.440 make no sense on movies like normally you sort of 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.640 have your PG or your G or your M or 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.680 your m are and it's normally violence, nudity, and that's 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.240 pretty much it. Or swearing no, no no. In the UK, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:11.080 this is the warning that UK senses put on wicked discrimination. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:17.000 A green skinned woman is mocked, bullied, and humiliated because 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.760 of her skin color. A disabled woman in a wheelchair 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.320 is treated in a condescending manner by able bodied people. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:31.640 Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical thought. It's wicked. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.640 We've also joked as the Sooks have started to get 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.240 involved with film classics like Gone with the Wind, which 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.200 now come with trigger warnings and people saying that it's 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.600 undeniably racist. Gone with the Wind, of course, now has 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.240 a trigger warning in the United States because of hurtful 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.880 or harmful aspects of the nineteenth century, including slavery, as 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.680 if anyone watching the film now doesn't know that's bad. 0:16:58.760 --> 0:16:59.920 And then there are the people who want to go 0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:02.400 in sense of the books to say not as the 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.359 author wrote, but as the author should write. Now the 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.120 James Bond novels turned into those incredible films fingers cross, 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.000 we get a new James Bond announced this year in 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.680 a film in a couple of years time. I don't 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.120 care where they go as long as it's not woke. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:19.479 Remember the James Bond novels were edited to remove racist content. Again, 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.000 just because it exists in the book does not mean 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.520 that you reading it in twenty twenty five go, you 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.679 know what, Right on, let's go back to those days. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.280 They are the way they are, and we're all grown 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.200 up enough to understand what the flaws of some of 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:32.880 these things are. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:33.720 Now. 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.240 We've laughed when it's the UK, we've rolled our eyes 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.840 when it's the United States. But there's a plan to 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.320 do it here. And I'm not talking about some sort 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.760 of per clutcher. I'm talking about the official body that 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:49.840 does the classification the censorship in Australia, that declares what 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:54.760 is G or M, or R or PG. They want 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.000 the ability to get into a time machine and to 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:01.160 review and change the classifications of everything that's ever been 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.800 released or is available now in Australia, from the very 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.920 first book that came here to the one that's coming 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.800 out tomorrow, the Od's Great one on this today. The 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:14.119 federal government agency wants to reclassify publications every ten years 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.440 and it's tied a review of Australian classification. It's taught 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.680 a review. Why am I reading so poorly tonight? I apologize? 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.760 They are citing the British census reclassification, so the Brits 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.520 who have a trigger warning about wicked and the green 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:34.040 Lady isn't treated as well as the pig dress lady. 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.679 My goodness, these are the people who went after Mary popp'ams. 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.480 The Australian Censor says that it needs the power to 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:46.960 proactively reclassify anarchic books and out of step movies, books 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.320 and TV shows that no longer align with current guidelines 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:55.840 or community standards. Seriously, a bunch of people want to 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.280 go back and have a look at the films of 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.440 the past and try to put the twenty twenty four 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.879 lefty label on the things that may well have been 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.200 classics or won awards, or launched careers or been part 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.479 of the fabric of our culture. You know how this 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.800 is going to go. But please let me read directly 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.200 from the bureaucrats who are trying to win over the 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.840 federal government to have the opportunity to review everything every 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.080 ten years, which would mean when they got the power 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:24.280 to do it tomorrow, it'd be everything that has ever been, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.240 and then they would review those decisions every ten years. 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:32.679 Provision must be made for a simple mechanism to allow 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.880 for the reclassification of content. With ever evolving community standards 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:42.919 and a dynamic media environment affecting not only how people 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:48.679 consume content but also its impact on them, there is 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:52.840 a need for a flexible and rational approach to reviewing. 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:58.480 They are archaic and out of step classifications and consumer 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.680 advice for pre obviously classified media. 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.040 Really really, oh, you know, we've got to go back, 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.840 go back to the odd angry shot opening a couple 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.000 of lines, not fantastic, got to go back to those 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.600 war films where they said the Rondom's terrible, terrible, terrible things. 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.600 We've got to put a classification on Wicked because the 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.280 girl in the wheel chair is spoken to in a 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.440 condescending manner. But anyone who actually understands the story understands 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.280 that that's part of an evolution where the people who 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.200 speak to her in a condescending manner need to learn 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.760 not to speak to her in a condescending manner. The 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:37.760 movie has a message inside it that would solve the 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.440 label that they would put on the wrapping. But no, 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.240 this government said you couldn't be trusted to know what 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.560 the truth was on the incident. And now a bunch 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.680
