WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 23 September 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:06.559 From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Have 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:09.600 you made now? As you know, I am swimming in 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.720 information about the American election, but there is one that 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:15.520 is more important than it happens before Queensland. Thirty three 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.560 days to go for Queensland to have the opportunity to 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.560 flush a terrible premiere and a useless government. Thirty three 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.720 days to get rid of the smile of Giggle's face. Well, 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.240 latest poles tell us that they're in the hole by 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.200 the best part of ten points and they most likely 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:37.480 will lose the election. But Pole's Poles, nothing is inevitable. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.239 We'll wait and see and we work towards a result. 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:43.960 Now this blog is willing to say him do anything 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.919 to try to stay in office, but we all know 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.159 what the consequences are of another few years of this 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.280 terrible government. Now he's trying to do any and everything 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.240 he possibly can, including literally Remember I just love showing 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.720 this footage. This was at a by election where Labor 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.280 got thumped. Ployase vote for me. I'm wearing a Maroon's hat. Yeah, 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.320 not going to happen, pow Well. Interestingly, today the Australian 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.199 newspaper Great story Labor people are pretending they're not Labor 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.600 people because they know this is a good chance they're 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.000 going to lose their seat. If people know that they 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.840 are part of the team that's down by ten points 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.039 and on its way to a flogging. MP after MP 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.880 after MP have decided they're either going to go pink 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:26.120 and somehow pretend that that's going to save them literally 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.600 again billboard after billboard, or for some of the blokes, 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.920 they're just pretending they're not from any party, like there's 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.040 some sort of local independent. Now, of course, the joy 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.160 of the election ballot means their party name will be 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.000 underneath their name. But tell your mates not to fall 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.960 for this stuff. If you're watching us in Queensland, this 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.720 is a government that's terrible and as I said, is 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.520 willing to go as low as possible to raise any 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:57.680 doubt about a potential change in government. Stephen Miles and 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.920 the Labour Party are particularly fidling on the edges and 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.880 trying to move female voters. Presumably that's why the pink 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.040 color is being sent around. But people are smarter than that. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.320 What about this? Stephen Miles is now claiming that abortion 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.919 may be under threat if the NP becomes the government. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:24.440 This is rubbish. It's utter, total, complete garbage. It's a lie, 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.800 it's a low lie, and it's an American political playbook. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.840 Stephen Miles and his front bench have launched a scare 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:35.000 campaign on abortion. It's a large last deployed to stay 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.800 in power thanks to female voters. Despite the LNP leader 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.720 David cruci Fully's insistence that he will not change any 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.280 of the laws that are currently in place, and he 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:51.200 will continue to fund forty two million dollars if people 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:58.280 want assistance in that area. Now, unions, the independent third 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.440 parties that are going to be able to out spend 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.400 any political candidate other than the Labor Party by a 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.280 margin of ten to one in every seat. I'm going 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.280 to try to weaponize this garbage. Here's a social media 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.680 post from a few weeks ago from the premiere. But 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.840 when you hear this, I apply it to you at 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.359 the start of tonight's show because it is a lie, 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.840 a stone cold lie. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.560 On this side of the house, we will always stand 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.600 up for a woman's right to choose. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.080 That's very demure, very. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:36.880 Mindful, because abortion is healthcare. It is a decision between 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:41.800 a woman and her doctor. This is not Donald Trump's Usa. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:46.200 I am concerned about what those opposite will do to 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:51.880 queensland women's right to choose if the government changes in October. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.880 This is appalling. It truly is. Oh, I don't want 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.440 to be Donald Trump's America. Well, this sort of garbage 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:05.760 is how Democrats run in the United States. In Australia, 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.600 this question is settled, well settled, and has been for 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.680 a long time. There is nothing in the policy platform 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.880 of David Crucifoley or the LNP that in any way, 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.800 shape or form changes every current law and every current dollar. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.320 In fact, a statement that was given to the Australian 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.360 newspaper via the opposition leader makes this very point where 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.880 the statement of The Australian via mister Kruciphilie's office at 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:34.160 the LMP would not repeal the legislation if elected next month. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.880 He's also reaffirmed his commitment that abortion would remain available 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.839 on demand up to twenty two weeks. Now. Remember there 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.800 was laws in and around all of this that were 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.920 debated in the Parliament. But it's settled, it's done. Twenty 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.800 two weeks is the line in Queensland, as it is 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.960 in most, if not all other states in the country. 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.960 It will not change. So every time you see this lie, 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.640 that is exactly what it is. Every time you hear 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.200 it in the media, it is from a friendly media 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.719 who know better. It is a lie. A stone cold 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.159 line should know as many people as possible every time 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.119 it comes up to push back and say one hundred 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.560 percent lie. Something that is also an absolute fact is 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.080 youth crime and the failures of this government in Queensland, 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.480 the one that in about a month's time you will 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.440 be able to press double flush and get rid of. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.480 May it be the case from cool and Gata all 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.599 the way to the Cape, get rid of this mob. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.360 They are terrible. They say that they're taking on youth crime. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.400 We all know that they're not. They put in place 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:43.159 laws which judges just ignore, like this one COURIERML today 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:48.120 youth crime and Queensland. Three quarters of youth offenders who 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.719 breach their bail so they've already been brought before the 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.520 court on an accusation of committing a crime. They have 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.560 been given bail as opposed to being kept in jail 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:01.200 only to break their bail. Three quarters who've gone through 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.240 that system, the queens and juvenile offenders who breached their 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.680 bar conditions, were given a slap on the wrist by courts, 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.880 receiving a reprimand and being released in three quarters of cases. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.920 This is just a couple of months after the government 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.760 tried to pretend they had a solution in this area. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.800 Sixteen years were charged between March and June, so only 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.840 a couple of months here with breaching their bail. In Queensland. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.440 Twelve of them got a reprimand three of them got 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.239 a good behavior bond. Only one was given a court 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.239 diversional referral. All of this comes from the Queensland Sentencing 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.719 Advisory Council thirty three days to go. I talk a 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.720 lot about the American election, I obviously care about Australia more, 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.560 and before we even get to a federal election, there's 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.039 lots of polls around all of that. Queensland is the 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.440 next battle. Queensland is the front line. There is only 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.200 one option, and whatever option it is, it is not 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.560 the existing government. Get rid of them. They are terrible 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:02.920 now as we know, the Prime Minister is in a 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.400 world of trouble at the federal level because he promised 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.000 that the world would be better, even though he knew 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:09.960 at the time that he couldn't deliver the promise, but 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.840 the media will. Of course, they never called him out 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.480 for this broken promise. I do in twenty twenty two, 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.120 a labor government would lower the cost of living. Well, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.440 we're now being told that. Apparently he doesn't break his promises, 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:26.560 he doesn't tell lies. He's just being tactical. An opinion 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.880 piece from a liberal hater former Labour staffer in the 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.560 Channel Line newspapers makes that point. But as you will 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.760 have heard today, Newspoll hits the government right between the eyes. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.800 Housing in particular, number one issue when it comes to 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.440 cost of living, which is the overall number one issue. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.560 They started to dive into it today. Housing which can 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.600 include everything from your mortgage, your interest rates, or your rent. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.560 Forty percent of people say that's the number one thing 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.320 when they say cost of living. A quarter of people 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.520 say it's groceries, twenty percent of people eighteen they should say, 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.480 say electricity bills. Eleven percent say insurance is number one 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.559 thing they think about when they're talking about cost of living, 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.200 and as you can see, transport a pretty low number 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.240 after that. But what was it about this bloke? Again? 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.840 The promise was to lower the cost of living if 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.360 he became the Prime minister. But what happened since he 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.600 became the Prime minister was not one, not two, not three, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.680 not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.520 not nine, not ten, not eleven, but twelve further interest 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:26.040 rate rises. It may well have stayed stable right now. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.480 The Reserve Bank is having a meeting as we speak today, 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.679 announcement tomorrow. Remember as late as last meeting they were 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.960 thinking about putting them up. Most likely it'll probably stay 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.520 on hold, but don't bet the house on it. But 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.040 that's how bad things have become. As I showed you 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.040 last night, and I know Sunday night, not everyone's here, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.640 but be here on Sunday nights because we get in 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.320 before everyone else, not just on our opinion, but we 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:48.840 also set up the week and what we're going to 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.559 be talking about that According to data from the Reserve Bank, 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.480 there is a staggering increase in the amount of people 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.920 who are paying way more on their monthly mortgage bill Nationally. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.199 Two three hundred and forty four dollars was the average 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:08.480 monthly mortgage repayment before the last election. Today it's four 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.320 hundred and forty five dollars. What was that promise again, 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.320 what was that promise that they made. Well, that's right, 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.240 that the Labor government would lower the cost of living 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.040 well on the number one part of the number one 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.680 issue housing. If you're paying off a house, you are 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.200 paying it off by a huge margin. Then me there's 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.640 of course, the people that are trying to get into 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.880 a rental property, a rental property that is costing more 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.720 because there are more people than ever before that are 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:35.400 going for fewer places. There's been a fourteen percent increase 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.400 in how much it costs in median rent in Melbourne, 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:46.040 sixteen percent in Brisbane, nineteen percent in Perth. The numbers 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.760 will they speak for themselves nationally up thirteen percent, but 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:54.360 above that average number is Perth, is Brisbane and is Melbourne. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.240 Why are rents as high as they are because this 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.520 government is committed to bringing in hundreds of thousands of 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.840 people each and every year to make the federal budget 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:09.240 look better, but your life worse. There's a per capita 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.640 recession in this country. It's been going on for eighteen 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:18.440 months now. Again, that immigration factor is one that supposedly 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.720 was going to change this year. Again, the rest of 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.680 the media that desperately is trying to save the Prime 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.400 Minister's backside over attending it's all tactical. Well, he promised 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.440 in December that the immigration rate would fall by this time, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.720 the number of people coming into the country would fall 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.840 by this time. But grim Jim, well, he had to 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.280 tell the truth, which should be racked up as a 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.040 broken promise. But we couldn't possibly list a broken promise 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.640 in this government, could we. How's your power bill going 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.240 two hundred and seventy five dollars down? No, of course not, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.800 he admitted, of course to the migration is going to 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.240 be higher than forecast, which means the promise in December 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.439 broken net overseas migration. We showed you this number that 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.319 over the past couple of days, nine hundred and sixty 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.000 four two hundred people. Now I could add more to this, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.439 that gets it over the million, which is all of 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.400 their time in office in twenty twenty two, But put 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.760 the two full years of twenty four and twenty three 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.240 together you get basically a million people. So that's why 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.400 your rent's going up. And then why do things cost 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.640 more when it comes to buying things, Because many things 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.680 in this country are imported into the country, and in fact, 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.000 if you check the latest numbers. We import more to 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.480 the country than we export to the world, which means 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.560 you are buying things with an Australian dollar that is 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.880 worth less than it was before these people became the government. 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.880 Oh it's all cyclical, it's all Ukraine. No it's not. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.240 You see, the higher Australian dollar means it's more expensive 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.160 for somebody to buy something from overseas to try to 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:42.120 sell it to you in a shop here. Everything from 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.920 clothes and white goods and even cars. But you already 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.480 know this because you live in the real world. You know, 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.560 live in the spin world. Which brings me to what 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:56.880 happened with supermarkets today. Now groceries are too high. They 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.520 have been going up exponentially since the power pandemic and 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.680 certainly since this government came to power. Now the government 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.720 got a bit of a win today because they have 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:10.079 now an example of the two major supermarket chains frankly 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.160 bsing about how big the discounts are. When they claim 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.439 there are discounts put simply for a couple of days, 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.120 they raise the price and then they drop the price, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.920 but they don't drop the price back to the number 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:26.960 before it rose. Perfect example explained here about cookies via 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:27.640 the A Triple C. 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.720 The A triples C alleges that the price discounts as 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:39.920 promoted were misleading because the discount was illusory. For many years, 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.839 each of us, as consumers, will have seen the campaigns 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.760 of will wors and calls that have led us to 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:54.440 understand that the prices dropped and down down prices promotions 0:12:55.160 --> 0:13:00.680 relate to sustained reductions in regular pricing. However, in these cases, 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:05.800 the new prices dropped and down down promotions were actually 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.640 higher or the same as the prior regular price. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.199 Now remember, the Prime Minister has long tried to pretend 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.400 that supermarkets are the single problem and the only reason 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.240 why inflation is where it is the only reason why 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.640 rates are where they are. This ruling today, or the 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:25.080 beginning of this court action today obviously plays into the 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.840 narrative that they have been trying to build. But in 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.880 the same way they tried to blame the former Reserve 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.160 Bank governor for the interest rate rises, not the economy 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.800 that they were ruining before our very eyes, they are 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.480 going to try to do the same now when it 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.720 comes to the supermarkets. I will not defend the supermarkets here, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.680 but how's this for some spin from the Prime Minister, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.520 who should know better. But let's be honest, he's knowledge 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.360 of economics probably means he doesn't know anything. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.120 These are serious allegations that the a Trip will See 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.240 is bringing before the courts. If this is found to 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.880 be true, it's completely unacceptable. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:01.520 Not the Australian spirit. 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.760 Customers don't deserve to be treated as fools by the supermarkets. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.080 This bloke went on to go on and say that 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.680 one of the reasons why rates are too high, why 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.560 inflation is not back between the magical two and three percent, 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.240 is because of the supermarkets. But let's all learn together. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.880 May I educate the Prime Minister? I have Toto's by 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.760 your side, power, or at least one of your five 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.440 hundred staff who are paid to hate watch this show. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.200 There is a thing called the basket of goods. The 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.240 basket of goods is compared month to month and then 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.640 every three months, and how much it goes up or 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:43.120 how much it goes down is the inflation number. Supermarkets 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.760 are part of that, but they are not the major 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.440 part of it. In fact, these are the categories that 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.320 the Australian Bureau Statistics users to print out that number. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.560 There'll be one that will come out this week about 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.760 the past month, and then of course the three months 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:04.320 together the average becomes the quarterly number. Alcohol and tobacco 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.640 last time I checked, not a major part of what 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:14.600 our supermarkets do that is up by almost double the 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:19.800 inflation rate. The financial services or insurance again not sold 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.160 in your local coals or woolies, education services not provided 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:30.800 by your local supermarket, health housing all before we get 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.960 to food and non alcoholic beverages. Yes, the stuff that 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:38.680 you buy at the supermarket, but then transport has nothing 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:43.240 to do with coals and woolies, clothing and footwear. Thankfully, 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.160 those numbers are still going up and not going up 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.120 by the margin of things like your insurance and things 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.680 like communications. Again, supermarkets not part of that. So for 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.160 the Prime Minister to turn out today as he did 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:01.320 and pretend that supermarket fiddles and super market fudgings and 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.240 supermarket prices are the single great determinant about whether or 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:06.880 not interest rates are going to go up are going 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.680 to go down, is again a lie three in a row. 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.320 Will anyone call them out? Of course not that would 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.680 be required to actually understand the system that's built on 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.680 an assumption that you are so stupid as a viewer, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.600 as a reader, as a listener, that you couldn't possibly 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.800 understand what inflation is, how it is calculated, and how 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.800 an attempt to pretend that one input into that is 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.640 the whole picture. Again, as I've shown you, when it 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.640 comes to the average repayment on a mortgage, when it 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:47.000 comes to the median rent, when it comes to the 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.800 amount of insurance that you pay on a house, car boat, 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:56.080 all of that is up, way up. Their central promise again, 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:00.400 we're going to cut immigration. Didn't happen. We're going to 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.680 bring cost of living under control. It didn't happen. Interest 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:09.000 rates went up twelve times on their watch. But it's 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:15.320 all the supermarket's fault. Again, not true. Now you know, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:20.520 a club guy love clubs. I love bowling clubs, sporting clubs, 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.480 legs clubs. Yes, every now and then for a slap, 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.280 but also it's a place where I love that people 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.040 can go get a cheap mail, cheap schooner, but not 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.639 necessarily a cheap schooner. And also all of the money 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.440 that they flow on into their community areas. I love 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.159 a bowling club, I love an RSL. Well, we got 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:43.080 an announcement this weekend. That was brilliant from the Nisabalas government. Now, 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.440 way back when one of the ways that clubs used 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.120 to make their money was from membership fees. The way 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.560 to guarantee that people would pay their membership fees was 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.359 to say that if you lived within five kilometers of 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.560 a registered club in New South Wales that you would 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.000 have to join and that would be a source of 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:05.040 revenue for the club. Well, nowadays the sources of revenue 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.280 go again from food and beverage to entertainment, Pokey's and 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.080 all the rest of it. So if you actually do 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:11.960 join a club, you'll notice you might be able to 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:16.720 get lifetime membership for well less than fifty dollars, certainly 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.480 on knowing places like Queenslay, and you can get the 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.240 best part of lifetime membership for less than twenty dollars 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.840 in certain clubs. What a good decision by the Men's government, 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.800 which is a perfect example of how government should work, 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.399 which is sometimes you should make decisions which are not 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.320 based off funding but just on making life easier for people. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.960 The decision has been made that in New Subwolls no 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.359 longer the five kilometer rule will apply, so you won't 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.080 have to join a club. To walk into a club 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.840 if you would like some discounts on food and on drink, 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:48.640 that's why you become a member of the club. If 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.399 you want to support the local club, you become a 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.200 member of the club. John Grahame is the relevant minister 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.600 explaining why this is happening and why I think it's 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:57.280 a good idea. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.679 It has been a gentle b to people going in. 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.720 Now you'll be able to head on into the club, 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.960 try a steak without having to become a member, just 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.040 simply sign in wandering have a great time with your 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:11.959 friends and family. 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.719 Now, obviously I think you still have to prove some 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.960 sort of id certainly if you're going into the over 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.040 eighteen areas, but it's not going to work the way 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.240 that it used to. This is a great idea now. 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.280 I liked in the super olden days when, of course 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:26.920 the RSL you had to be recommended by a member 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.000 of the RSL. But again that's a long time in 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.040 the past and the reality of RSLs again in New 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.800 South Wales, the scenario is is that while RSL might 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:36.840 be written up on the side of the building, the 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.479 reality is that the business of the poke machines and 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.080 the bevies and the food. All of that is something else. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.439 The sub branch is completely in some ways disconnected and 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.600 sometimes not even funded properly by said club. As for 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:51.399 the clubs their. 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:55.879 Response, this is a fantastic change for clubs in their community. 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:01.320 We applaud these initiatives to remove red tape, to encourage 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.639 those in the community to get out and enjoy their venues, 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.280 and making those venues more readily and easily accessible by 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:12.879 the removal of unnecessary bureaucracy. We absolutely applaud that. 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.960 Now time to stand up for a mate. You know 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.119 that Nicholas Reese has been quite a feature on this 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.000 show for as long as I've had one. I think 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.480 he's a great guy and while we may often sternly disagree, 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.080 we're always mates either side of things, and we always 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.880 take care of each other. Now, the reason he hasn't 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:31.680 been on the show for the past few months is because, 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.000 of course he has become the Lord Mayor of Melbourne 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.800 and he is running for re election right now. But 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.440 what about what the buggers in the Victorian Labor Party 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.280 have done to this bloke who has argued their cause 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.680 for like a decade publicly as well as of course 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.680 working for them at a state and federal level. They 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:53.160 are moving their preferences away from him at the upcoming 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:58.840 mayoral election. Now, whether that results in a leeb a 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.080 Green or someone else, I don't know. I don't understand 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.520 the electoral politics in and around Melbourne, wouldn't pretend to. 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.760 But this is a bloke who, well, rather than those 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.640 of us that just sit back and bitch and moan 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.760 about politics, decided to actually get involved in it. He 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.960 deserves a full term to be able to put what 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.320 I think is a pretty good agenda in place. Again, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.800 do I agree with everything, No, but it's not designed 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.480 for me. If you would like to find out more, 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.560 or support or get more information, you can go to 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.919 his website. This is his website. It is Nick for 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:31.200 Melbourne dot com dot A, Nick for Melbourne dot com 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.320 dot AU. We love this bloke and the fact that 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.080 he was screwed over by the Labor Party, who, of 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:39.439 course he will defend to the death on shows like 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.359 this is in my view a pretty low move from Labour. 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.840 But all the best to Nick. All right quickly on America, 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:48.720 There's not a lot of news to tell you about tonight, 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.680 but let's find out with a few weeks to go. 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.520 What's happening. Well, According to the bookies, they say Kamalei 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.320 Harris gets stronger by the day. They say fifty two 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.600 to forty seven percent chance of her winning the presidency 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.640 the first Tuesday in November. When it comes to the polls, 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:07.440 they too were starting to lean Harris's way. A national 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.000 poll put out by the Left, the organization CBS Day 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:11.960 by the Way, or the Left, the organization hosting the 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:14.960
