WEBVTT - Credlin | 13 August 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:04.480 Peter Quedlin Live from year twenty four. 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.600 Good evening, Welcome to the program. Here's what's coming up 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:14.000 tonight on kredline two point five billion. That's how much 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.000 taxpayers you are going to shout out to keep the 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:20.360 tommygo smelter afloat. And the PMS still under fire for 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.759 crude commentary about the Japanese leader despite a bump in 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:28.600 the polls. Andrew Bragg risks coalition in fighting with a 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.280 speech yesterday full of politic thought, bubbles across a whole 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.680 host of portfolios, and Goes Taylor forced to shut him down. Today, 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.560 last ad shock departure of White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.440 What does this mean for the Trump administration just a 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:48.040 few months out from the midterms, and astounding scenes where 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:52.360 else but in Melbourne of high school kids protesting against 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:58.040 Pauline Hansen. A TGV ignorance on display was phenomenal, but 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:02.040 they went after our own reporter Georgie Dickerson. 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.080 Aimless sentiment to where cazer. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.559 Is, don't. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.959 Yeah, crazy kids protest seem pretty stupid commentary, ignorant commentary. 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:17.800 I'll get to that at the moment, but first, as 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.720 much as he mightn't wish it otherwise. In the Parliament today, 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.919 the Prime Minister was still dogged by his crew commentary 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:29.280 about his Japanese counterpart. Here's Opposition Leader Angus Taylor kicking off. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.440 At the top of question time. 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.880 This morning, the Prime Minister was asked yet again about 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.319 his classless comments on the Bush Deep podcast. Yet again 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.480 he refused to give a straight answer. To save him 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.160 from embarrassment, the new South Wales Premier stepped in and 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.640 shut down the question why won't the Prime Minister Manner 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:57.000 stop hiding behind his colleagues and take responsibility for his 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.240 grubby behavior? 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.480 And I direct into the comments of the Ambassador of Japan, 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.000 who's stated very clearly the dinner hosted by Prime Minister 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.679 Albanezi during the Prime Minister's visit to Australia this May 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.600 was held in a very relaxed atmosphere and we believe 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.919 it helped build a personal trust relationship between the two leaders. 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.640 Indeed it did. We have a very good relationship with 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.800 Japan and I look forward to continuing to work with 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.120 our friends on economic issues as well as interests of 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.600 peace and security and prosperity in our region. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.200 Now I chose to play the Prime Minister's response in 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.840 full tonight because I wanted you to see that there 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.440 was not even anything remotely resembling an apology to Japan's 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.920 first ever female leader. And then I want to play 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:52.800 you something that no one should miss after that question 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:57.120 from the opposition leader, Well, the government then gets to 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.960 ask itself a question. Asking yourself a question in parliament, 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.400 we call that O Dorothy Dixon. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.400 So with the Prime Minister on the. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.120 Ropes about the melon comments and the disrespect he showed 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:14.440 Sono Takachi, he showed Japan, even the disrespect shown to 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:19.000 Carlie Minogue and his own wife over those shagging comments. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.640 Have a listen to VI from one of the labor 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.440 backbitch was. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.960 The Albanezy labor government working to prevent family, sexual and 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.440 domestic violence, improve early intervention and make sure women and 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.600 children can access support they need free from violence. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.720 How more shameless can this bloke get? 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:45.080 The man who makes smutty, crude jokes about women now 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.400 wants to lecture the nation about treating women and girls 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.400 with respect. Well done on the opposition heading back with 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.600 this follow up question. A month before he made sexist 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.720 remarks about the Prime Minister of Japan on the Bushjeep podcast. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.560 The Prime Minister did post this comment online. No matter 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:08.720 who's support in politics, it is completely unacceptable to demean, objectify, 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.160 belittle or offend women. So why won't the Prime Minister 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.120 stop hiding behind his female front benches and the new 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.600 South Wales Premier and take responsibility for his disrespectful behavior. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.919 Good on y Thigh McKenzie for calling it out, and 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.680 shame on every one of those labor women running a 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.920 protection racket for the Prime minister. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.279 The Liberals have absolutely lost the plot. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:39.000 Trying to perpetuate this ridiculous, this ridiculous thing. 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.120 The remarks from the Prime Minister have been misinterpreted. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.640 He has enormous respect for women. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.840 Those opposite who have engaged, who are so desperate to score, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.440 so desperate to score political points that they are confecting 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.760 a diplomatic issue. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.440 All of you women, His sheerler shields you, diminish, all 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.640 of us making excuses for grubby innuendo filmed from the 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.359 couch at the lodge instead of calling it out now, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.320 not so, Chris Mins. Some journalists today said that Min's 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.839 defended alban Easy at the press conference they held together 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.400 today in the Hunter Valley. Mins did not. Chris Mins 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.039 did not. He spoke up to change the topic. But 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.839 if you listen carefully, he didn't make excuses, unlike the 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.359 labor women for smart that just can't be defended. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.000 Here's a clearly. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.400 Under pressure and frustrated Prime minister today and then that 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.000 intervention from Premier Mins. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.440 I've answered this question many times. The fact is, well, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:47.279 the fact is, the fact is that the Japanese Prime 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.039 Minister and I have a very good relationship the Japanese. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:56.560 The Japanese Ambassador's made very clear statements indeed about how 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:01.200 warm our dinner was, and it was indeed, it was fair. 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.480 Go and ask a thousand workers what they care about today. 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:05.640 Witnestly, this is the. 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.120 Biggest announcement to this region in a generation. Can we 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.719 just talk about it for five minutes. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.240 Now. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:18.760 You'll recall last night I said this about Min's when 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.400 it comes to integrity the left of frauds. I couldn't 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.200 imagine Peter Malinowskis or Chris Min's behaving as the Prime 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.760 Minister did in that low rent podcast. I couldn't imagine 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.840 Kim Beasley entertaining a question about shagging Kylie. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.000 Mino, I just can't. 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.160 Look if your emails to me today are any indication 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.159 of many of you agree with those comments. Almost all 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.239 of you say just how embarrassed you are that almin 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.280 Easy represents us and our country on the world stage. 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.159 And I agree with you, but questions of character to 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.680 one side. We'll come back to this. Let's get into 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.280 the reason why Min's was there with Alban Easy this 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.120 morning in the Hunter Valley. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.680 It is in our national interest to have an economy 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:12.440 that has manufacturing that is not dependent upon something somewhere 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.000 else occurring, because we know that can lead to disruption. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.320 It's a complicated deal. It was not straightforward. You've got 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:25.239 the federal government, the state government alongside Tommygo. We wanted 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.640 to make sure that any agreement wouldn't just last past 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.320 a media release or a meeting like this, but decades 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.120 into the future. 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.680 Today's announcement and risky package for tom Ago are whopping 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.360 two point five billion dollars to bail out a smelter 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.600 and keep heavy industry in this country. And it's not 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.040 government money. There's no such thing as government money. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.040 This is your money. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.760 It's your money bailing out Rio Tinto because without the 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.360 cash that leave Australia and go and set up in 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.720 a country where power prices are cheaper. That's the reality, 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.520 and who can blame them? We have done this to ourselves. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.760 Australia is only in this position because we've all drunk 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.280 the green energy cool aated have gone from being a 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.480 country rich with God given natural resources that we used 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.000 to use like colon gas, to one fast drowning and 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:22.120 dead and energy insecurity. Because we think Chinese wind turbines 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:26.800 and pels solar panels make more sense, Well they don't 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.880 and they never will not when the coal and gas 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.239 that we won't use here is shipped off to China 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.840 and India for them to use anyway, how's that saving 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:41.679 the planet? It's not, you know that it's powering their economy. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.960 It's making China and India richer, but doing nothing for 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:51.160 the environment. It takes China just twelve days to produce 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.319 the same amount of carbon emissions that we in Australia 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:59.120 produce in a whole twelve months. We are one percent 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.760 of global emission. But somehow we think we can change 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.160 the weather here or by ourselves. We just have to 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.760 go back to the dark, dark ages, junk jobs and 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.680 make ourselves poorer as a result. Now, years ago, business 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.200 writer Terry mccran warned that net zero policies were an 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:23.319 economic suicide note and he was right. At today's announcement, 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:27.640 alongside Albanezy and Chris Mins was Energy Minister Chris Bowen. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.440 I mean it's like the arsonist standing there at the 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.280 fire brigade, isn't it. I mean, who does alban Easy 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.920 and Bowen think they are kidding? We all know that 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:41.440 the only reason tom Ago needs this bailout is because 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.120 of labour's net zero madness. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.199 This is a two and a half billion dollar admission 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.520 of failure on energy policy in this country. Why are 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.160 we paying this because we've butchered our energy system. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:55.680 That's why. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.800 Because when we had Caulfi power stations, Tommogo was never 0:09:58.840 --> 0:09:59.640 asking us for money. 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.080 Was it part of today's bailout? I should add? 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.000 It is about labor trying to hold off a push 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:10.720 by one nation into those Hunter Valley coal mining seats. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.960 Now there's a state election in Victoria, of course, in November, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.560 but there's also one in New South Wales in March, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.720 and labor are worried, so they are using the two 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:25.280 point five billion announced today to shore up workers' jobs 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.720 and votes using your money. If you work it out, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:35.160 that bailout equates to about two million dollars per worker's job. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:41.600 Two million per job. You are getting your private health 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.280 insurance rebate taken off you. You're being slugged with new 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:49.200 taxes so that labor can spend two million dollars per 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.720 job two point five billion overall to save this smelter 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:59.559 and save labor votes in labour seats. Honestly, almost every 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.000 night I say to myself, I don't think he can 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:02.240 get him bad, and he worse. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.760 I don't think Australia can. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:09.000 Slip even further down a slide to where nowhere land. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:10.280 And then we do. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.120 It gets worse, It gets worse every night. I don't 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.760 think I've ever seen a government this bad on so 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.920 many levels, but here we are. And if I feel 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:29.760 like that, I suspect you do too. All Right, one 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.760 week of a sitting, We've got another week next week. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.240 Of course, the politicians they. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.600 All get out of town on your dime on the 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.480 planes for the weekend. We'll get the lattice out of camera, though, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.840 with the headlines. Political reporter Rubon spargo Good Evening. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.120 The Opposition leader is warning his shadow Housing minister to 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.720 stick to Coalition policy after he sparked an internal fight 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:55.559 over migration. Andrew Bragg angered National zmps by suggesting the 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.560 number of backpackers coming to Australia should be cut. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.280 Andrew expressed some of the his personal views yesterday. I 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.280 made clear to him that his job is to experience them, 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.239 or can I finish that his job is to express 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.800 the views of the coalition. 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.640 Angus Taylor insists net overseas migration will ultimately be determined 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.240 by housing supply. The federal and New South Wales governments 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.199 have struck a deal to save the Tommago aluminium smelter 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.480 from imminent closure. The agreement will secure longer term renewable 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.120 power for the facility at a cost of taxpayers of 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:30.760 two and a half billion dollars. 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.000 We wanted to make sure that any agreement wouldn't just 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.520 last past a media release or a meeting like this, 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.600 but decades into the future. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.560 Workers are welcoming the deal after months of negotiations. The 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.240 New South Wales Premier has stepped in to defend the 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:50.680 Prime Minister over his infamous podcast appearance I've talked. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.320 To you today, just Mahant. 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.560 This is the biggest announcement to this region in a generation. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.439 Can we just talk about it for five minutes. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.520 It was Anthony Abernzi's first press conference since returning from holidays. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.280 I'll make it clear he did not defend the Prime Minister. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.800 He deflected the question a very different thing. Let's get 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.920 into the headlines now. I've got a panel a lot 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.840 to talk about. Joining me now in News twenty four 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.000 host James Morrow and of course another host on Sunday 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.800 Night Lover Show, Jamie Rogers. 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.080 Welcome to you both. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.080 I'll get in James to the economic detail of this bay. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.199 Lad in a moment with Ross Greenwood. But politically this 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.000 says to me that labor and New South Wales is 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.520 spooked by one nation. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.800 This deal is as much about. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.120 Votes in the Hunter and you know one nation got 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.840 close to taking that seat of Hunter off Joel Fitzgibbon 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.800 when he was an MP, as it is about sovereign manufacturing. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.960 I'd say it's more than about the jobs and about 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.199 the Hunter than it is about the sovereign manufacturing. I mean, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.880 this is a government that talks a big game about manufacturing, 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.599 Peter was there future Made in Australia, slush funds and 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.000 everything else. But you know, we've seen what this government 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.160 is all about. It's all about simply buying votes in 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.280 key constituencies with your money. That's exactly what's happening here. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.319 You worked it out in your editorial two two and 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.079 a half million dollars per job. And the language, the 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.600 language that they used in that press conference, particularly when 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.920 Premier Mins you know, jumped on the grenade for elbow 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.160 there to help him out and deflect that question, was 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.200 all about you know, this is the biggest announcement for 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.840 the Hunter. It wasn't the biggest announcement for Australia's sovereign 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.760 manufacturing capability. The tell is in the language. This was 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:42.800 a campaign. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.920 Stop, you're not wrong. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.400 And of course it was also the first time we've 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.800 had the Prime Minister in front of journalists in two weeks. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:52.600 He's very good at this. 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.880 It gets the sort of headwind and he hides away. 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.960 He puts his head under the desk, key does staged events, 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:03.040 but he avoids top questions. He couldn't hide today, are 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.240 you right? That's a good one. On the grenade went 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.360 Chris Min's, as Matt Canavan said, is about the only 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.560 adult in the room but Jamie all week and we 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.800 saw it aget in the chamber today. All week he's 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:19.600 been dogged by the Japanese comments, sorry, the comments about 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.440 the Japanese Prime Minister. What really gets under my skin 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:30.040 is all these Labor women deflecting and defending that crude 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.360 and embarrassing podcast. I mean, where is their spine on 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:34.880 this stuff? 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.040 Jamie? Just what I'm Peter. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.760 They have all lost their credibility when it comes to 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.720 talking anything about women. And aren't they the party that's 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.640 supposed to be all about women and supporting women or 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.600 where are they? This is the time that they need 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.320 to be standing up and actually showing women that they 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.720 do have their back. What we have seen repeatedly from 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.600 this Labor government is to shear hypocrisy when it comes 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.560 to women that aren't on the left. If you don't 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.520 believe in their side of politics, well you're not worth defending. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.760 We saw it happen with Gina rein Hart and the 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.040 ABC issue. But let's not forget how quick all of 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.880 the Labor politicians, including the Prime Minister, were to come 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.360 out and condemn that ditch the witch campaign around Jacinterer Allen. 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.200 But then when it comes to the Japanese Prime minister, 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.440 who is a conservative, Oh, nothing to see here. When 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.880 it comes to Gena rein Hart, there's silence and all 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.480 of them saying that they didn't watch that footage on 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:31.440 the ABC. It's just sheer hypocrisy on display. I think 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:35.680 it's incredibly disappointing and they've now lost all their credibility 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.480 and we should be reminding voters this going into the 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:39.120 next election. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.080 Well, I won't let it rest on make sure right, no, 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.600 you are, they have no leg just down on when 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.880 it comes to commentary about women in particularly the Liberal 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.200 Party and women, let's. 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.280 Go to migration. Yesterday. 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.920 Of course we touched on this last night with the 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:58.800 Angus Taylor. A speech by Andrew Bragg at the Press Club. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:04.000 He went way beyond his policy rebuilt. He made announcements 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.760 in relation or I guess prognostications, if I can call 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.119 them that, because they're not official announcements. He's not the 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.760 official minister and is certainly not the leader of the opposition, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.159 but he made a statement that about one eighty thousand 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.080 should be where the coalition lands in terms of the 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:27.679 net overseas migration number. But James, this really rankled with 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.040 the Nationals have a listen. 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.760 As leader of the Nationals Party, we will not be changing, 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.439 will not be seeking chasseeing changes to working holiday visa makers, 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.000 because that's not the reason why we've had the surgeon. Migration, 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:45.200 often colloquially referred to backpackers, are not taking a house 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.159 in a major city away from others that could be 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:47.679 using it. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:52.199 I look, Andrew expressed some of his personal views yesterday. 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.119 I made clear to him that his job is to 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.399 experience them, or can I finish that his job is 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:01.320 to express the views of the coalition and the senior 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:02.639 team of which he is a member. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.280 Yeah, ticked off publicly there, of course by leader. 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.520 I know that there's been shadow ministers who have spoken 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:11.639 to him personally. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.119 And I say Bragg by name, Bragg. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.399 By nature, James, but there's a not a lot he's got. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:18.119 To brag about. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:23.040 Andrew Bragg's behind the disastrous era of Susan Lee's liberal leader. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:24.240 We all know how that ended. 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.439 I think he should just sit down, stick to his 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.240 knitting and perhaps not get into everybody else's policy turf. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.879 Well, this was such a piece of freelancing, Peter. But 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.679 you know, there's so much unpack with this here. I 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.360 want to know, did Angus Taylor's office see the speech 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.960 before he went to deliver it. I mean, it just 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.680 seems remarkable to me that he would go and freelance 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:48.520 like this, come up with a number one hundred and 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:53.920 eighty thousand that's only twenty percent lower than where Labor's targets, 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:55.520 and we know they're going to overshoot him by a 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.480 lot of two hundred and twenty five by twenty seven 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.159 twenty eight. Is this whole idea? It was so politically 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.679 cynical there to remind everybody that there's divisions in the 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:10.160 coalition about migration by you know, talking about the backpackers 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.480 and the working holidaymakers and all of that who the 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:17.840 agricultural sector relies on. Everybody knows those aren't the people 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.120 we are concerned about. I mean, maybe if you've got 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.120 to clean up the mess on New Year's Day at 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:26.320 Cougie or Branti, that's about it. The trouble the backpackers cause, 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.760 not the trouble in the housing market, not all the 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.480 tertiary education mills that we have. Everybody knows where the 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.600 problem is that, ain't it. This was a really really 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:41.439 underhanded and disgraceful performance, I thought, And you know, I 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.280 just don't know that Angus Taylor has done enough to 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:45.359 pull him into line. 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:48.080 I agree with you there. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:49.280 I think this has got a lot to do with 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:53.159 faction of politics, sinewsath Wales, and I don't think this 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.520 will be the end of it. I think brags absolutely 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.120 on notice and Angus is due to have a race 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.160 shuffle he hasn't had. And yet I know exactly where 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.400 I reshuffle Andrew Bragg to. Let's go to the rallies 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:08.040 across the nation, kids who should be in school. It's 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.880 not as though Australia's leading the international league tables at all. 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.840 It's anything but. But they're out protesting against one nation. 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.800 Have a look at what happened to our own reporter, 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.600 Georgie Dickerson in Melbourne in les. 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:29.240 Sentiments to where Cazer is and dot. 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:32.760 Give it back, give it back, give it back, give. 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:34.480 It back, give. 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:44.520 It She saw the microphone. 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.359 We had to actually just chase that protester through the 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:49.240 packed crowd. 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.200 They actually put it inside a cools bag and sprints 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:53.920 it off with our microphone. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:57.399 I looked at a lot of the Rushes coming in 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:00.720 today on this Jamie, and you know kids screaming fascism. 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:06.320 Most of them could spell fascism talking about President Pauline Hansen. Well, kids, 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.760 that's not how democracy works. We don't have a president 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.600 as our head of state. I would love to see 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.960 them sit in class. I'd love to see them learn 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.480 to debate ideas, disagree with civility. 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:20.320 You're a mum, Jamie. 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.280 You must look at that and think what the heck 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.360 is happening with kids in Australia. Parents too, they bear 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:30.440 responsibility here, but also our education system. 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.879 Your spot on Peter. All week when we've been talking 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.879 about the lead up to these protests, I really wanted 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.439 the schools to step in and also the government, I 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:44.560 mean Marine Feruki was signing a pass to give students 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:46.760 the day off school. I think what we should have 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:48.680 been encouraging is for the students to sit in the 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:52.640 classroom and actually analyze one nation's policies and actually talk 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:54.680 to each other about what is it that I do 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.480 like or I don't like and actually start to learn 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:01.080 how to think for yourself, not be told what to think. 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.480 And this is what's getting really concerning about the education 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.480 system is that children are being forced and told about 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.480 a certain ideology and then they are absolutely just running 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.800 with it. And we saw that on display today. A 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.200 lot of them couldn't explain exactly what it is about 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.680 Pauline Hanson that they didn't like. I find it really, really, 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.879 really distressing, and I often refer back to a quote 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.080 of Abraham Lincoln that said, what is taught and learned 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.480 in the classrooms today is what will be policy in 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.520 the future. So it makes me worried about where our 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:32.160 country is going when we look at these young kids 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.800 who are going so far to the left, which of 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.440 course is fine, but they're still so young. And also, 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:39.480 why wouldn't you do a protest on a Sunday? I 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.160 reckon a lot of those kids there were just trying 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:42.960 to get the day off. But it is also a 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.960 breeding ground for being able to get the left radicalization 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:46.960
