Speaker 1: From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Have
Speaker 1: you made now? As you know, I am swimming in
Speaker 1: information about the American election, but there is one that
Speaker 1: is more important than it happens before Queensland. Thirty three
Speaker 1: days to go for Queensland to have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: flush a terrible premiere and a useless government. Thirty three
Speaker 1: days to get rid of the smile of Giggle's face. Well,
Speaker 1: latest poles tell us that they're in the hole by
Speaker 1: the best part of ten points and they most likely
Speaker 1: will lose the election. But Pole's Poles, nothing is inevitable.
Speaker 1: We'll wait and see and we work towards a result.
Speaker 1: Now this blog is willing to say him do anything
Speaker 1: to try to stay in office, but we all know
Speaker 1: what the consequences are of another few years of this
Speaker 1: terrible government. Now he's trying to do any and everything
Speaker 1: he possibly can, including literally Remember I just love showing
Speaker 1: this footage. This was at a by election where Labor
Speaker 1: got thumped. Ployase vote for me. I'm wearing a Maroon's hat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not going to happen, pow Well. Interestingly, today the Australian
Speaker 1: newspaper Great story Labor people are pretending they're not Labor
Speaker 1: people because they know this is a good chance they're
Speaker 1: going to lose their seat. If people know that they
Speaker 1: are part of the team that's down by ten points
Speaker 1: and on its way to a flogging. MP after MP
Speaker 1: after MP have decided they're either going to go pink
Speaker 1: and somehow pretend that that's going to save them literally
Speaker 1: again billboard after billboard, or for some of the blokes,
Speaker 1: they're just pretending they're not from any party, like there's
Speaker 1: some sort of local independent. Now, of course, the joy
Speaker 1: of the election ballot means their party name will be
Speaker 1: underneath their name. But tell your mates not to fall
Speaker 1: for this stuff. If you're watching us in Queensland, this
Speaker 1: is a government that's terrible and as I said, is
Speaker 1: willing to go as low as possible to raise any
Speaker 1: doubt about a potential change in government. Stephen Miles and
Speaker 1: the Labour Party are particularly fidling on the edges and
Speaker 1: trying to move female voters. Presumably that's why the pink
Speaker 1: color is being sent around. But people are smarter than that.
Speaker 1: What about this? Stephen Miles is now claiming that abortion
Speaker 1: may be under threat if the NP becomes the government.
Speaker 1: This is rubbish. It's utter, total, complete garbage. It's a lie,
Speaker 1: it's a low lie, and it's an American political playbook.
Speaker 1: Stephen Miles and his front bench have launched a scare
Speaker 1: campaign on abortion. It's a large last deployed to stay
Speaker 1: in power thanks to female voters. Despite the LNP leader
Speaker 1: David cruci Fully's insistence that he will not change any
Speaker 1: of the laws that are currently in place, and he
Speaker 1: will continue to fund forty two million dollars if people
Speaker 1: want assistance in that area. Now, unions, the independent third
Speaker 1: parties that are going to be able to out spend
Speaker 1: any political candidate other than the Labor Party by a
Speaker 1: margin of ten to one in every seat. I'm going
Speaker 1: to try to weaponize this garbage. Here's a social media
Speaker 1: post from a few weeks ago from the premiere. But
Speaker 1: when you hear this, I apply it to you at
Speaker 1: the start of tonight's show because it is a lie,
Speaker 1: a stone cold lie.
Speaker 2: On this side of the house, we will always stand
Speaker 2: up for a woman's right to choose.
Speaker 3: That's very demure, very.
Speaker 2: Mindful, because abortion is healthcare. It is a decision between
Speaker 2: a woman and her doctor. This is not Donald Trump's Usa.
Speaker 2: I am concerned about what those opposite will do to
Speaker 2: queensland women's right to choose if the government changes in October.
Speaker 1: This is appalling. It truly is. Oh, I don't want
Speaker 1: to be Donald Trump's America. Well, this sort of garbage
Speaker 1: is how Democrats run in the United States. In Australia,
Speaker 1: this question is settled, well settled, and has been for
Speaker 1: a long time. There is nothing in the policy platform
Speaker 1: of David Crucifoley or the LNP that in any way,
Speaker 1: shape or form changes every current law and every current dollar.
Speaker 1: In fact, a statement that was given to the Australian
Speaker 1: newspaper via the opposition leader makes this very point where
Speaker 1: the statement of The Australian via mister Kruciphilie's office at
Speaker 1: the LMP would not repeal the legislation if elected next month.
Speaker 1: He's also reaffirmed his commitment that abortion would remain available
Speaker 1: on demand up to twenty two weeks. Now. Remember there
Speaker 1: was laws in and around all of this that were
Speaker 1: debated in the Parliament. But it's settled, it's done. Twenty
Speaker 1: two weeks is the line in Queensland, as it is
Speaker 1: in most, if not all other states in the country.
Speaker 1: It will not change. So every time you see this lie,
Speaker 1: that is exactly what it is. Every time you hear
Speaker 1: it in the media, it is from a friendly media
Speaker 1: who know better. It is a lie. A stone cold
Speaker 1: line should know as many people as possible every time
Speaker 1: it comes up to push back and say one hundred
Speaker 1: percent lie. Something that is also an absolute fact is
Speaker 1: youth crime and the failures of this government in Queensland,
Speaker 1: the one that in about a month's time you will
Speaker 1: be able to press double flush and get rid of.
Speaker 1: May it be the case from cool and Gata all
Speaker 1: the way to the Cape, get rid of this mob.
Speaker 1: They are terrible. They say that they're taking on youth crime.
Speaker 1: We all know that they're not. They put in place
Speaker 1: laws which judges just ignore, like this one COURIERML today
Speaker 1: youth crime and Queensland. Three quarters of youth offenders who
Speaker 1: breach their bail so they've already been brought before the
Speaker 1: court on an accusation of committing a crime. They have
Speaker 1: been given bail as opposed to being kept in jail
Speaker 1: only to break their bail. Three quarters who've gone through
Speaker 1: that system, the queens and juvenile offenders who breached their
Speaker 1: bar conditions, were given a slap on the wrist by courts,
Speaker 1: receiving a reprimand and being released in three quarters of cases.
Speaker 1: This is just a couple of months after the government
Speaker 1: tried to pretend they had a solution in this area.
Speaker 1: Sixteen years were charged between March and June, so only
Speaker 1: a couple of months here with breaching their bail. In Queensland.
Speaker 1: Twelve of them got a reprimand three of them got
Speaker 1: a good behavior bond. Only one was given a court
Speaker 1: diversional referral. All of this comes from the Queensland Sentencing
Speaker 1: Advisory Council thirty three days to go. I talk a
Speaker 1: lot about the American election, I obviously care about Australia more,
Speaker 1: and before we even get to a federal election, there's
Speaker 1: lots of polls around all of that. Queensland is the
Speaker 1: next battle. Queensland is the front line. There is only
Speaker 1: one option, and whatever option it is, it is not
Speaker 1: the existing government. Get rid of them. They are terrible
Speaker 1: now as we know, the Prime Minister is in a
Speaker 1: world of trouble at the federal level because he promised
Speaker 1: that the world would be better, even though he knew
Speaker 1: at the time that he couldn't deliver the promise, but
Speaker 1: the media will. Of course, they never called him out
Speaker 1: for this broken promise. I do in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: a labor government would lower the cost of living. Well,
Speaker 1: we're now being told that. Apparently he doesn't break his promises,
Speaker 1: he doesn't tell lies. He's just being tactical. An opinion
Speaker 1: piece from a liberal hater former Labour staffer in the
Speaker 1: Channel Line newspapers makes that point. But as you will
Speaker 1: have heard today, Newspoll hits the government right between the eyes.
Speaker 1: Housing in particular, number one issue when it comes to
Speaker 1: cost of living, which is the overall number one issue.
Speaker 1: They started to dive into it today. Housing which can
Speaker 1: include everything from your mortgage, your interest rates, or your rent.
Speaker 1: Forty percent of people say that's the number one thing
Speaker 1: when they say cost of living. A quarter of people
Speaker 1: say it's groceries, twenty percent of people eighteen they should say,
Speaker 1: say electricity bills. Eleven percent say insurance is number one
Speaker 1: thing they think about when they're talking about cost of living,
Speaker 1: and as you can see, transport a pretty low number
Speaker 1: after that. But what was it about this bloke? Again?
Speaker 1: The promise was to lower the cost of living if
Speaker 1: he became the Prime minister. But what happened since he
Speaker 1: became the Prime minister was not one, not two, not three,
Speaker 1: not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight,
Speaker 1: not nine, not ten, not eleven, but twelve further interest
Speaker 1: rate rises. It may well have stayed stable right now.
Speaker 1: The Reserve Bank is having a meeting as we speak today,
Speaker 1: announcement tomorrow. Remember as late as last meeting they were
Speaker 1: thinking about putting them up. Most likely it'll probably stay
Speaker 1: on hold, but don't bet the house on it. But
Speaker 1: that's how bad things have become. As I showed you
Speaker 1: last night, and I know Sunday night, not everyone's here,
Speaker 1: but be here on Sunday nights because we get in
Speaker 1: before everyone else, not just on our opinion, but we
Speaker 1: also set up the week and what we're going to
Speaker 1: be talking about that According to data from the Reserve Bank,
Speaker 1: there is a staggering increase in the amount of people
Speaker 1: who are paying way more on their monthly mortgage bill Nationally.
Speaker 1: Two three hundred and forty four dollars was the average
Speaker 1: monthly mortgage repayment before the last election. Today it's four
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five dollars. What was that promise again,
Speaker 1: what was that promise that they made. Well, that's right,
Speaker 1: that the Labor government would lower the cost of living
Speaker 1: well on the number one part of the number one
Speaker 1: issue housing. If you're paying off a house, you are
Speaker 1: paying it off by a huge margin. Then me there's
Speaker 1: of course, the people that are trying to get into
Speaker 1: a rental property, a rental property that is costing more
Speaker 1: because there are more people than ever before that are
Speaker 1: going for fewer places. There's been a fourteen percent increase
Speaker 1: in how much it costs in median rent in Melbourne,
Speaker 1: sixteen percent in Brisbane, nineteen percent in Perth. The numbers
Speaker 1: will they speak for themselves nationally up thirteen percent, but
Speaker 1: above that average number is Perth, is Brisbane and is Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Why are rents as high as they are because this
Speaker 1: government is committed to bringing in hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: people each and every year to make the federal budget
Speaker 1: look better, but your life worse. There's a per capita
Speaker 1: recession in this country. It's been going on for eighteen
Speaker 1: months now. Again, that immigration factor is one that supposedly
Speaker 1: was going to change this year. Again, the rest of
Speaker 1: the media that desperately is trying to save the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister's backside over attending it's all tactical. Well, he promised
Speaker 1: in December that the immigration rate would fall by this time,
Speaker 1: the number of people coming into the country would fall
Speaker 1: by this time. But grim Jim, well, he had to
Speaker 1: tell the truth, which should be racked up as a
Speaker 1: broken promise. But we couldn't possibly list a broken promise
Speaker 1: in this government, could we. How's your power bill going
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five dollars down? No, of course not,
Speaker 1: he admitted, of course to the migration is going to
Speaker 1: be higher than forecast, which means the promise in December
Speaker 1: broken net overseas migration. We showed you this number that
Speaker 1: over the past couple of days, nine hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: four two hundred people. Now I could add more to this,
Speaker 1: that gets it over the million, which is all of
Speaker 1: their time in office in twenty twenty two, But put
Speaker 1: the two full years of twenty four and twenty three
Speaker 1: together you get basically a million people. So that's why
Speaker 1: your rent's going up. And then why do things cost
Speaker 1: more when it comes to buying things, Because many things
Speaker 1: in this country are imported into the country, and in fact,
Speaker 1: if you check the latest numbers. We import more to
Speaker 1: the country than we export to the world, which means
Speaker 1: you are buying things with an Australian dollar that is
Speaker 1: worth less than it was before these people became the government.
Speaker 1: Oh it's all cyclical, it's all Ukraine. No it's not.
Speaker 1: You see, the higher Australian dollar means it's more expensive
Speaker 1: for somebody to buy something from overseas to try to
Speaker 1: sell it to you in a shop here. Everything from
Speaker 1: clothes and white goods and even cars. But you already
Speaker 1: know this because you live in the real world. You know,
Speaker 1: live in the spin world. Which brings me to what
Speaker 1: happened with supermarkets today. Now groceries are too high. They
Speaker 1: have been going up exponentially since the power pandemic and
Speaker 1: certainly since this government came to power. Now the government
Speaker 1: got a bit of a win today because they have
Speaker 1: now an example of the two major supermarket chains frankly
Speaker 1: bsing about how big the discounts are. When they claim
Speaker 1: there are discounts put simply for a couple of days,
Speaker 1: they raise the price and then they drop the price,
Speaker 1: but they don't drop the price back to the number
Speaker 1: before it rose. Perfect example explained here about cookies via
Speaker 1: the A Triple C.
Speaker 4: The A triples C alleges that the price discounts as
Speaker 4: promoted were misleading because the discount was illusory. For many years,
Speaker 4: each of us, as consumers, will have seen the campaigns
Speaker 4: of will wors and calls that have led us to
Speaker 4: understand that the prices dropped and down down prices promotions
Speaker 4: relate to sustained reductions in regular pricing. However, in these cases,
Speaker 4: the new prices dropped and down down promotions were actually
Speaker 4: higher or the same as the prior regular price.
Speaker 1: Now remember, the Prime Minister has long tried to pretend
Speaker 1: that supermarkets are the single problem and the only reason
Speaker 1: why inflation is where it is the only reason why
Speaker 1: rates are where they are. This ruling today, or the
Speaker 1: beginning of this court action today obviously plays into the
Speaker 1: narrative that they have been trying to build. But in
Speaker 1: the same way they tried to blame the former Reserve
Speaker 1: Bank governor for the interest rate rises, not the economy
Speaker 1: that they were ruining before our very eyes, they are
Speaker 1: going to try to do the same now when it
Speaker 1: comes to the supermarkets. I will not defend the supermarkets here,
Speaker 1: but how's this for some spin from the Prime Minister,
Speaker 1: who should know better. But let's be honest, he's knowledge
Speaker 1: of economics probably means he doesn't know anything.
Speaker 5: These are serious allegations that the a Trip will See
Speaker 5: is bringing before the courts. If this is found to
Speaker 5: be true, it's completely unacceptable.
Speaker 1: Not the Australian spirit.
Speaker 5: Customers don't deserve to be treated as fools by the supermarkets.
Speaker 1: This bloke went on to go on and say that
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why rates are too high, why
Speaker 1: inflation is not back between the magical two and three percent,
Speaker 1: is because of the supermarkets. But let's all learn together.
Speaker 1: May I educate the Prime Minister? I have Toto's by
Speaker 1: your side, power, or at least one of your five
Speaker 1: hundred staff who are paid to hate watch this show.
Speaker 1: There is a thing called the basket of goods. The
Speaker 1: basket of goods is compared month to month and then
Speaker 1: every three months, and how much it goes up or
Speaker 1: how much it goes down is the inflation number. Supermarkets
Speaker 1: are part of that, but they are not the major
Speaker 1: part of it. In fact, these are the categories that
Speaker 1: the Australian Bureau Statistics users to print out that number.
Speaker 1: There'll be one that will come out this week about
Speaker 1: the past month, and then of course the three months
Speaker 1: together the average becomes the quarterly number. Alcohol and tobacco
Speaker 1: last time I checked, not a major part of what
Speaker 1: our supermarkets do that is up by almost double the
Speaker 1: inflation rate. The financial services or insurance again not sold
Speaker 1: in your local coals or woolies, education services not provided
Speaker 1: by your local supermarket, health housing all before we get
Speaker 1: to food and non alcoholic beverages. Yes, the stuff that
Speaker 1: you buy at the supermarket, but then transport has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with coals and woolies, clothing and footwear. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: those numbers are still going up and not going up
Speaker 1: by the margin of things like your insurance and things
Speaker 1: like communications. Again, supermarkets not part of that. So for
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister to turn out today as he did
Speaker 1: and pretend that supermarket fiddles and super market fudgings and
Speaker 1: supermarket prices are the single great determinant about whether or
Speaker 1: not interest rates are going to go up are going
Speaker 1: to go down, is again a lie three in a row.
Speaker 1: Will anyone call them out? Of course not that would
Speaker 1: be required to actually understand the system that's built on
Speaker 1: an assumption that you are so stupid as a viewer,
Speaker 1: as a reader, as a listener, that you couldn't possibly
Speaker 1: understand what inflation is, how it is calculated, and how
Speaker 1: an attempt to pretend that one input into that is
Speaker 1: the whole picture. Again, as I've shown you, when it
Speaker 1: comes to the average repayment on a mortgage, when it
Speaker 1: comes to the median rent, when it comes to the
Speaker 1: amount of insurance that you pay on a house, car boat,
Speaker 1: all of that is up, way up. Their central promise again,
Speaker 1: we're going to cut immigration. Didn't happen. We're going to
Speaker 1: bring cost of living under control. It didn't happen. Interest
Speaker 1: rates went up twelve times on their watch. But it's
Speaker 1: all the supermarket's fault. Again, not true. Now you know,
Speaker 1: a club guy love clubs. I love bowling clubs, sporting clubs,
Speaker 1: legs clubs. Yes, every now and then for a slap,
Speaker 1: but also it's a place where I love that people
Speaker 1: can go get a cheap mail, cheap schooner, but not
Speaker 1: necessarily a cheap schooner. And also all of the money
Speaker 1: that they flow on into their community areas. I love
Speaker 1: a bowling club, I love an RSL. Well, we got
Speaker 1: an announcement this weekend. That was brilliant from the Nisabalas government. Now,
Speaker 1: way back when one of the ways that clubs used
Speaker 1: to make their money was from membership fees. The way
Speaker 1: to guarantee that people would pay their membership fees was
Speaker 1: to say that if you lived within five kilometers of
Speaker 1: a registered club in New South Wales that you would
Speaker 1: have to join and that would be a source of
Speaker 1: revenue for the club. Well, nowadays the sources of revenue
Speaker 1: go again from food and beverage to entertainment, Pokey's and
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. So if you actually do
Speaker 1: join a club, you'll notice you might be able to
Speaker 1: get lifetime membership for well less than fifty dollars, certainly
Speaker 1: on knowing places like Queenslay, and you can get the
Speaker 1: best part of lifetime membership for less than twenty dollars
Speaker 1: in certain clubs. What a good decision by the Men's government,
Speaker 1: which is a perfect example of how government should work,
Speaker 1: which is sometimes you should make decisions which are not
Speaker 1: based off funding but just on making life easier for people.
Speaker 1: The decision has been made that in New Subwolls no
Speaker 1: longer the five kilometer rule will apply, so you won't
Speaker 1: have to join a club. To walk into a club
Speaker 1: if you would like some discounts on food and on drink,
Speaker 1: that's why you become a member of the club. If
Speaker 1: you want to support the local club, you become a
Speaker 1: member of the club. John Grahame is the relevant minister
Speaker 1: explaining why this is happening and why I think it's
Speaker 1: a good idea.
Speaker 6: It has been a gentle b to people going in.
Speaker 6: Now you'll be able to head on into the club,
Speaker 6: try a steak without having to become a member, just
Speaker 6: simply sign in wandering have a great time with your
Speaker 6: friends and family.
Speaker 1: Now, obviously I think you still have to prove some
Speaker 1: sort of id certainly if you're going into the over
Speaker 1: eighteen areas, but it's not going to work the way
Speaker 1: that it used to. This is a great idea now.
Speaker 1: I liked in the super olden days when, of course
Speaker 1: the RSL you had to be recommended by a member
Speaker 1: of the RSL. But again that's a long time in
Speaker 1: the past and the reality of RSLs again in New
Speaker 1: South Wales, the scenario is is that while RSL might
Speaker 1: be written up on the side of the building, the
Speaker 1: reality is that the business of the poke machines and
Speaker 1: the bevies and the food. All of that is something else.
Speaker 1: The sub branch is completely in some ways disconnected and
Speaker 1: sometimes not even funded properly by said club. As for
Speaker 1: the clubs their.
Speaker 7: Response, this is a fantastic change for clubs in their community.
Speaker 7: We applaud these initiatives to remove red tape, to encourage
Speaker 7: those in the community to get out and enjoy their venues,
Speaker 7: and making those venues more readily and easily accessible by
Speaker 7: the removal of unnecessary bureaucracy. We absolutely applaud that.
Speaker 1: Now time to stand up for a mate. You know
Speaker 1: that Nicholas Reese has been quite a feature on this
Speaker 1: show for as long as I've had one. I think
Speaker 1: he's a great guy and while we may often sternly disagree,
Speaker 1: we're always mates either side of things, and we always
Speaker 1: take care of each other. Now, the reason he hasn't
Speaker 1: been on the show for the past few months is because,
Speaker 1: of course he has become the Lord Mayor of Melbourne
Speaker 1: and he is running for re election right now. But
Speaker 1: what about what the buggers in the Victorian Labor Party
Speaker 1: have done to this bloke who has argued their cause
Speaker 1: for like a decade publicly as well as of course
Speaker 1: working for them at a state and federal level. They
Speaker 1: are moving their preferences away from him at the upcoming
Speaker 1: mayoral election. Now, whether that results in a leeb a
Speaker 1: Green or someone else, I don't know. I don't understand
Speaker 1: the electoral politics in and around Melbourne, wouldn't pretend to.
Speaker 1: But this is a bloke who, well, rather than those
Speaker 1: of us that just sit back and bitch and moan
Speaker 1: about politics, decided to actually get involved in it. He
Speaker 1: deserves a full term to be able to put what
Speaker 1: I think is a pretty good agenda in place. Again,
Speaker 1: do I agree with everything, No, but it's not designed
Speaker 1: for me. If you would like to find out more,
Speaker 1: or support or get more information, you can go to
Speaker 1: his website. This is his website. It is Nick for
Speaker 1: Melbourne dot com dot A, Nick for Melbourne dot com
Speaker 1: dot AU. We love this bloke and the fact that
Speaker 1: he was screwed over by the Labor Party, who, of
Speaker 1: course he will defend to the death on shows like
Speaker 1: this is in my view a pretty low move from Labour.
Speaker 1: But all the best to Nick. All right quickly on America,
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of news to tell you about tonight,
Speaker 1: but let's find out with a few weeks to go.
Speaker 1: What's happening. Well, According to the bookies, they say Kamalei
Speaker 1: Harris gets stronger by the day. They say fifty two
Speaker 1: to forty seven percent chance of her winning the presidency
Speaker 1: the first Tuesday in November. When it comes to the polls,
Speaker 1: they too were starting to lean Harris's way. A national
Speaker 1: poll put out by the Left, the organization CBS Day
Speaker 1: by the Way, or the Left, the organization hosting the
Speaker 1: vice presidential debate which is taking place next week, they
Speaker 1: say that it's a four point lead for Kamala Harris nationally.
Speaker 1: This is interesting because if it's a two point or
Speaker 1: less basically, without boring you with how the statistics work
Speaker 1: inside of it, that basically is a win for Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and the Electoral College, but the marginally falls to
Speaker 1: two points in the so called battleground otherwise known as
Speaker 1: swing states. You should know that this poll was three
Speaker 1: percent wrong at the last election, and in fact, it
Speaker 1: is always the losing side of an argument to be
Speaker 1: saying this. But I am going to point out to
Speaker 1: you the polls were wrong in twenty sixteen, and the
Speaker 1: polls were wrong in twenty twenty. Now in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: they didn't see Trump coming. In twenty twenty, they overstated
Speaker 1: what they thought was going to be the result for Biden.
Speaker 1: So every now and then, when I show you a poll,
Speaker 1: I'll try and explain how wrong they got it last time.
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean they're getting it wrong necessarily this time.
Speaker 1: But like the polls that have got it very wrong
Speaker 1: in Australian elections, well you have to basically prove yourself
Speaker 1: to be right over a couple of other cycles before
Speaker 1: you get brought back into the heart of the conversation.
Speaker 1: Now again, let's have a look at some swing state poling,
Speaker 1: because this is as tight as a drum. Now again,
Speaker 1: remember if it's under two points, you can see that
Speaker 1: Trump is being undersampled here. However, let's just take this
Speaker 1: for what it is. Pennsylvania right now, Trump up by one,
Speaker 1: North Carolina Harris up by one, Up by one, Michigan
Speaker 1: Harris up by two, Nevada tie, Wisconsin, and Arizona Trump
Speaker 1: up by one. If all of this happens, Trump becomes president,
Speaker 1: by the way, and Georgia Trump by three. There's also
Speaker 1: some state poles which you've just been dropped by the
Speaker 1: new York Times, which kind of confirm that some of
Speaker 1: these southern states are still holding. So if all of
Speaker 1: this swing state polling is true, Trump would be the president. Remember,
Speaker 1: you need two hundred and two hundred and seventy electoral
Speaker 1: votes to be president. On these swing state poles, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about one pole, he would win and still
Speaker 1: have Nevada leftover, meaning even if Harris won it, he
Speaker 1: would still win the presidency. Meantime, Kamala Harris, who apparently
Speaker 1: is leading according to those national poles, who was apparently
Speaker 1: doing better in the battleground states, but when they don't
Speaker 1: list the battleground states, maybe she's not winning in them.
Speaker 1: But again, we'll all find out together in November. Well,
Speaker 1: she wants another debate, even if it's with Mike Pence.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get another debate lessee. Sorry, she was
Speaker 1: beside a playing earlier today where she says she wants
Speaker 1: to talk to the former vice president. For his part,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump quite correctly says no.
Speaker 8: The problem with another debate is that it's just too late.
Speaker 8: Voting has already started. She's had her chance to do
Speaker 8: it with Fox and A. Fox invaded us on and
Speaker 8: I waited and waited, and they turned it down, and
Speaker 8: they turned it down. But now she wants to do
Speaker 8: a debate right before the election. We're CNN because she's
Speaker 8: losing badly.
Speaker 1: Now he shouldn't do another debate because, with the exception
Speaker 1: of the Biden debate, according to the snap pole, he's
Speaker 1: lost every debate he's ever been in. He's been in
Speaker 1: seven of them, so he's won one, but he's lost six.
Speaker 1: Why do it again? Why create another moment about dogs
Speaker 1: and cats and side eyes and microphones and all of that, Garba,
Speaker 1: It's just run hard on your message in the swing
Speaker 1: states and law find out what happens together. But again,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you when it's good news, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: when it's bad news. I'll tell you when it's lineball news.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be betting the house in any direction right now. Again,
Speaker 1: I can show you stats that will show you he's
Speaker 1: up by plenty and she's up by plenty, But I
Speaker 1: want to again show you the overall picture about what
Speaker 1: he's playing out before our very eyes. And just before
Speaker 1: we head off to debate, remember Australian's I don't know
Speaker 1: if we really do as much as we used to,
Speaker 1: but certainly a couple of years ago we used to
Speaker 1: love a bit of real estate porn, where you'd check
Speaker 1: out what's my suburb worth, what's happening over here? And
Speaker 1: every now and then you have a look at a
Speaker 1: house you'll never be able to afford, even if you
Speaker 1: won lotto every year for the next five years. Perfect example,
Speaker 1: a mansion in two rac Worth, apparently one hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars connections back to the famous Maya family, a stately, wonderful,
Speaker 1: beautiful old school joint in Melbourne. I like that they've
Speaker 1: got a flag pole. I want to put a flagpole
Speaker 1: up at our place, but my missess won't let me. Now,
Speaker 1: if I can't win that fight, how can I win up?
Speaker 1: But you get the point. Sometimes we lose the local fight,
Speaker 1: but we win the bigger fights. That's what one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars will get you. I say, if you had
Speaker 1: one hundred million bucks, I can save you the best
Speaker 1: part of what eighty maybe seventy million dollars given the
Speaker 1: exchange rate. Because on YouTube you can go and have
Speaker 1: a look at house tours of crazy houses around the
Speaker 1: world for twenty million dollars. In the United States, you
Speaker 1: could buy this house, this mega mansion like total retreat,
Speaker 1: amazing place in Arizona. It has a man cave that
Speaker 1: used to be a fire station. That's how massive, that's
Speaker 1: how big, that's how awesome. That's how cool this thing is.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 9: It's got a go kart track.
Speaker 1: Anyone want to chip in twenty million for me? What
Speaker 1: a joint that would be? Be bloody hot in somewhere.
Speaker 1: But there's about five thousand pools and swimming up bars
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. So good luck for
Speaker 1: the stately one hundred million dollars mansion in two reck,
Speaker 1: I'm off to Arizona. Should I win Powerball or one
Speaker 1: of those international lotteries. Right, let's get into it right now.
Speaker 1: No sooks, no lefties tonight. How good's this snow mucking around?
Speaker 1: Good solid logic between now and when we're done, Matt Cannaban,
Speaker 1: Freyer Leech and a couple of surprises before we finish
Speaker 1: up something. Thank you so much for watching. Joining me
Speaker 1: right now from the Menses Research Center. It's none of
Speaker 1: the wonderful Freyer Leech part of no sooks, no lefties.
Speaker 1: We're so glad you hear. And he's in God's Country
Speaker 1: tonight Tweed heads the South Tweed Club, in particular South
Speaker 1: Tweed's Sports. I know it very well. Other side of
Speaker 1: the river. If you just go to the other side
Speaker 1: of the road and move your way down, turn left,
Speaker 1: you can make your way to seagulls. You keep going
Speaker 1: up the road, you go to twin towns. But where
Speaker 1: you are right now, great smoking balcony. Just turn left
Speaker 1: and go around the corner. Mate, you are in God's
Speaker 1: Country in New South Wales. You're gonna have a bunger
Speaker 1: while playing the pokies, so enjoy yourself, my friend.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Paul, we've had a great time here tonight, barta bit,
Speaker 10: I had a little version of our own my town.
Speaker 10: Sorry to swipe your your your trademark, but we had
Speaker 10: a couple other people turn up here and had a
Speaker 10: great conversation. Would have been much better viewing than Q
Speaker 10: and A. I'm sure please is it still on all right?
Speaker 1: Of course, sorry Matt Canavan. Of course, sir Johnny is
Speaker 1: there from Southweed. I apologize. I was still excited about
Speaker 1: my local knowledge. So let's talk about this news poll
Speaker 1: and start to break it down, because it was fascinating
Speaker 1: to see. We know cost of living number one issue.
Speaker 1: But what is the biggest component of cost of living? Now?
Speaker 1: It's housing, all right, it's rents. I've shown you there
Speaker 1: the median rates and how they have gone up by
Speaker 1: bigger than national average, almost twenty percent in places like Perth.
Speaker 1: We've shown you about the long lines of cues for
Speaker 1: rental properties because they bring in more than a midian
Speaker 1: people on top of everyone who was looking for a
Speaker 1: rental property a couple of years ago. And of course
Speaker 1: the national average monthly repayment, which used to be two
Speaker 1: and a bit thousand dollars is now four and a
Speaker 1: bit thousand dollars now. For none of this is a
Speaker 1: surprise to you, but it really is quite interesting to
Speaker 1: see that while the Prime Ministry will get nder it
Speaker 1: in a second once to talk about supermarkets and groceries,
Speaker 1: when we're talking about cost of living, twelve intrastrate rises
Speaker 1: has a consequence, and guess what they know, the government
Speaker 1: is kind of responsible.
Speaker 11: It's refreshing to see, to be honest, because I think
Speaker 11: for a long time we saw the RBA starting to
Speaker 11: hike rates, but it was like, when are people going
Speaker 11: to realize? When are they going to wake up and
Speaker 11: realize this is actually the result of reckless labor spending.
Speaker 11: And I think now when your hip pocket is affected,
Speaker 11: and keep in mind, it's not just challenging to rent,
Speaker 11: it's virtually impossible, And it's not just challenging to repay
Speaker 11: your mortgage, it is almost virtually impossible as well. The
Speaker 11: interest you're paying on your mortgages, it's probably tripled over
Speaker 11: the last two years.
Speaker 1: And if you don't, I'd be saying for people like
Speaker 1: yourself that are trying to get in and around the market,
Speaker 1: the set of financial difficulties that and the loans and
Speaker 1: the housing stock and who you're competing with means we're
Speaker 1: back to the nineties in terms of how steep that
Speaker 1: thing is. It's not seventeen percent, but it's quite a
Speaker 1: steep client.
Speaker 11: And the question is now, and I think this is
Speaker 11: going to be really critical for the Coalition going forward,
Speaker 11: is those people that have abandoned labor, where are they
Speaker 11: going up for grabs? And so this is the challenge.
Speaker 11: I think we're seeing Labour's primary vote decline to the
Speaker 11: same level it was at the twenty twenty two federal election,
Speaker 11: but those votes aren't necessarily going to the Coalition yet
Speaker 11: they're going to the Greens and the Independence. So I
Speaker 11: think a matter of absolute priority for Matt and the
Speaker 11: coalition team up there is to come up with a
Speaker 11: housing policy asapp So Matt.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to push you forward what it is
Speaker 1: or what your idea is, because I'm not interested in
Speaker 1: giving the free kick to the Guardian to say, oh
Speaker 1: free WHEELI and now it's being denied. I don't care.
Speaker 1: But how important is it that people in and around
Speaker 1: who want to see some votes change here don't just
Speaker 1: rely on people being peed off with the government. They've
Speaker 1: got to see that there's another than the government.
Speaker 3: Well, you're absolutely right, Paul.
Speaker 10: And look I was outdoor knocking this afternoon in Irang
Speaker 10: with our State l and p State Candida at Biankerstone
Speaker 10: and Heather. I meant, lady called Heather and she can't
Speaker 10: find a place to live seven stay with a friend.
Speaker 10: Right now, there simply isn't enough homes in Australia.
Speaker 3: Phrase exactly right.
Speaker 10: The reason there isn't enough homes is that this government
Speaker 10: has lost control of our borders. They came into office
Speaker 10: with the job of opening up after COVID. They just
Speaker 10: opened the floodgates and we've now had two million people
Speaker 10: turn up in two years in gross terms, a million
Speaker 10: people in net terms. That rate of migration is more
Speaker 10: than double what we presided over when we were in government,
Speaker 10: not including I'm not including the COVID years, obviously taking
Speaker 10: those out, just the non COVID years that we were
Speaker 10: in government, about twildred and twenty five thousand people a
Speaker 10: year would come in net terms. It's now around five
Speaker 10: hundred thousand for the last two years.
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 10: And now Anthony Albenezi saying I'm going to reduce it.
Speaker 10: I'm going to reduce it down to two undred and
Speaker 10: fifty thousand, which is still twenty five thousand more than average.
Speaker 10: Peter Dunton saying, let's take it below two hundred thousand.
Speaker 10: Let's get back, let's catch up a bit, Let's make
Speaker 10: sure that our people aren't living in tents before we
Speaker 10: take in record at numbers of people, still above average
Speaker 10: numbers of people like this Albanezi government wants to do.
Speaker 3: We've got to look after Australians first.
Speaker 1: And let's also start to front load. No foreign buyers
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. This is again just the
Speaker 1: you know for those that are in and around that
Speaker 1: market thinking about it, for their kids, et cetera, et cetera,
Speaker 1: the no foreign buyers stuff, which of course is racist
Speaker 1: and horrible and all of that business. According to lefty
Speaker 1: Laura and the rest of them. It's good. I love you.
Speaker 1: Just mentioned Nrang again. Favorite indoor go karting circuit in
Speaker 1: the Austraight is there, slideways? Go to Spencer right. I think
Speaker 1: it is here. Spencer right, Go and pay for the
Speaker 1: last and go under you go, real it is.
Speaker 10: I'm going to spend some time with you on the
Speaker 10: Gold Coast one time.
Speaker 1: Paul, you watch out to go. If I ever turn up,
Speaker 1: run and I will be the mayor. All right, there's
Speaker 1: no question. All right, they'll call me a blow in.
Speaker 1: But in my heart, in my heart, I believe mate.
Speaker 10: This is your spiritual home, your spiritual hive is here.
Speaker 1: Bloody Earth. Could somebody tell me missus, somebody tell me missus?
Speaker 1: All right? Otherwise divorce straight away anyway, now, joke dumb.
Speaker 1: Now let's talk here about the supermarkets, because Frey, I
Speaker 1: think the government got a little bit of a rhetorical
Speaker 1: win here because they, I mean, we saw it today.
Speaker 1: The Prime minister basically trying to pretend, oh, supermarkets and
Speaker 1: groceries is the reason why interest rates are so high. Garbage.
Speaker 1: I've already listed the basket of goods that actually go
Speaker 1: in to all of that, and last time I check,
Speaker 1: Coleston Willie's not involved in housing, not involved in transport,
Speaker 1: not involved in insurance, let alone, of course tobacco, which
Speaker 1: the government is involved in. They keep putting up the taxes,
Speaker 1: but whatever, right, But the question here is is that
Speaker 1: if you're able to have an allegation of a certain
Speaker 1: bad behavior in and around pricing, then the evil mustache
Speaker 1: is able to be shoved straight onto them, and labor
Speaker 1: will do that as what they think is the chief
Speaker 1: example of cost of living. But that Pole showed is
Speaker 1: that that's only true for a quarter of people who
Speaker 1: say cost of living is the number one issue.
Speaker 11: Labor will find absolutely anyone and anything to blame other
Speaker 11: than themselves. Two weeks ago, it was the RBA. It
Speaker 11: was all the RBA's fault, the cost of living, the
Speaker 11: interest rates, all the RBA's problem. Now they've managed to
Speaker 11: find another scapegoat the supermarkets. Now, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 11: some of the discounting stuff they're doing looks pretty dodgy
Speaker 11: and it's not fair. They should be they should be
Speaker 11: brought to justice. But come on, it is just searching
Speaker 11: for scapegoats, I mean, but it gets even more ridiculous
Speaker 11: than that. The New South Wales Treasurer Daniel Mookie has
Speaker 11: also tried to blame Donald Trump's reelection on the state
Speaker 11: of eth Well's economy. It's it's honestly, it's like, okay,
Speaker 11: let's just find some imaginary issue and that is going
Speaker 11: to be the thing, anything to distract Australia from the
Speaker 11: fact that they're spending an extra three hundred and fifteen
Speaker 11: billion dollars.
Speaker 1: The rocket fuel in the place. Clock that's the reason.
Speaker 1: That's the reason it's going up all right. Now, Now again, Matt,
Speaker 1: I remember we had a conversation not after the last
Speaker 1: budget but actually one of the first that Charmers put
Speaker 1: in place, and there were all of these extra little
Speaker 1: sort of road issues in and around transport, extra taxes
Speaker 1: that were going to be placed on primary producers to
Speaker 1: have to pay for the inspection of things. Now again,
Speaker 1: I'm not defending companies that pretend to have discounts but
Speaker 1: are not actual discounts, right, They're behaving like a jeweler
Speaker 1: from sort of twenty thirty years ago. We will remember
Speaker 1: those stupid sales or the Persian rug joint that's going
Speaker 1: out of business for seven years. But let's be honest here.
Speaker 1: This government has done things to add to the cost
Speaker 1: of everything in the supermarket, including the cost of the
Speaker 1: energy to produce all of the things in the supermarket.
Speaker 10: Well, just to a check on that, that's an excellent point, Paul.
Speaker 10: You can check that for yourself when you go through
Speaker 10: and look at what are the things that have gone
Speaker 10: up most in value in the supermarket? Aisle Number one
Speaker 10: one I see that blows my mind all the time
Speaker 10: is cheese. Cheese has become so much more expensive. Just
Speaker 10: a standard block of cheese is up by well over
Speaker 10: twenty percent according to the ABS. I think it's more
Speaker 10: than that sometimes. And so why has things like cheese
Speaker 10: gone up so much? Yogurt's gone up, dairy goods have
Speaker 10: gone up, Bread's gone up. The products that have all
Speaker 10: are processed and use a lot of energy, like milk,
Speaker 10: like cheese, they've gone up more than other things like
Speaker 10: fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh beef, All those things haven't
Speaker 10: gone up as much.
Speaker 3: They typically go up and down in cycles.
Speaker 10: But the stuff that needs energy, needs to stay refrigerated,
Speaker 10: needs to be processed, that's gone up by a fortune,
Speaker 10: and it's gone up because of this government's terrible energy
Speaker 10: policies that have taken a country with beautiful and bounderful
Speaker 10: energy supplies some of the lowest power price in the
Speaker 10: world and now we're basically at the other end of
Speaker 10: the spectrum there. So we're all paying for that, and
Speaker 10: obviously the Primise is looking for a life saving raft.
Speaker 3: Here because of that.
Speaker 10: I'm not excusing all these and Carls either, but they're
Speaker 10: obviously not scared of what the.
Speaker 3: Labour Party's doing.
Speaker 10: They're continuing to act like this despite the threats of
Speaker 10: a mandatory code of conduct, which is a wet less
Speaker 10: Lettuce form of regulation. I do think we need tougher
Speaker 10: competition laws, real competition laws, like what Peter Darton and
Speaker 10: USS are proposing to introduce Divesta powers he like the
Speaker 10: rest of the world has. I think we then get
Speaker 10: a change of behavior from the major supermarkets.
Speaker 1: But also there's another issue here too, right and Peter Malanowskus,
Speaker 1: I never forget Peter malanowskis people's Forum week before the
Speaker 1: South Australian election. Okay, now he could have fallen into
Speaker 1: the elbow trap, which he did before the twenty two election,
Speaker 1: which was to say I promised to being prices down.
Speaker 1: I'm going to you know, every single item is going
Speaker 1: to come down. He said, Look, government's not involved in everything,
Speaker 1: we're not responsible for everything, so I'm not going to
Speaker 1: promise something that can't be delivered. Freyer, How politically toxic
Speaker 1: do you think is the Prime Minister's promises in twenty
Speaker 1: two that failed to deliver the expectation that slide that
Speaker 1: I show every couple of knots right cost of living
Speaker 1: will be better under a labor government. But on every
Speaker 1: single indicason, I'm just looking at what Matt was talking
Speaker 1: about before as always one hundred percent right on alcoholic,
Speaker 1: non alcoholic beverages, bed cereal, meat, dairy fruit and you
Speaker 1: name it. It's all correct, right about up let alone,
Speaker 1: everything else we've talked about, we talk about it, we're
Speaker 1: aware of it. But how potently you think it is
Speaker 1: in the general community that they were promised something better
Speaker 1: or is that just something that those of us that
Speaker 1: follow the detail are aware of.
Speaker 11: Well, I hope it's not, and I think we do well.
Speaker 11: It's hard to tell because we live in this politics bubble,
Speaker 11: and anyone watching this program right now the.
Speaker 1: Sand on the beach. Other people just drive past the
Speaker 1: beach exactly.
Speaker 11: But I do think that Albo has completely lost all
Speaker 11: credibility on energy policy. Before the federal election, he promised
Speaker 11: that your household power bills would go down by two
Speaker 11: hundred and seventy five dollars. He promised that, and Matt
Speaker 11: can fact check me on this, but I think it
Speaker 11: was ninety two occasions. He repeated that. I don't think
Speaker 11: people will have forgotten. And when I say I'm active
Speaker 11: on TikTok and I'll post stuff about cost.
Speaker 1: Living exact that I understand.
Speaker 11: I know, but look that's where jen Z is, so
Speaker 11: that's where we have to be as well.
Speaker 1: And the stuff that's annoy when my Trevor loves.
Speaker 11: It, it's pretty addictive. The content I post about cost
Speaker 11: of living resonates so strongly. It always does well on
Speaker 11: the algorithm. People engage with it, they comment, and so
Speaker 11: I think people are waking up. The question is whether
Speaker 11: they remember the promises that were made before the last election.
Speaker 11: But that's why people like you are so important Paul,
Speaker 11: to hold them accountable.
Speaker 1: Come back, all right, and I'll take you to the
Speaker 1: Southport Sharks for a buffet dinner. When we're up on
Speaker 1: the goal. I'm just going to list all my favorite joints.
Speaker 1: I'm serious, every time I go a couple of times
Speaker 1: a year about six points and over again. All right, now,
Speaker 1: just a last one on all of this, Matt, right,
Speaker 1: which is, let's also talk about what else is out
Speaker 1: in the market. Right The Greens literally in the Victorian
Speaker 1: Parliament are saying, oh, you know, price controls, We're going
Speaker 1: to literally walk around Kamala Harris style and say what
Speaker 1: can be what something can be sold for? When you're
Speaker 1: coming up against that sort of populism from the left,
Speaker 1: is there a chance that what Fray is talking about
Speaker 1: here about people who are absolutely peed off about how
Speaker 1: high everything is. They don't care what the reason is.
Speaker 1: They'll just go to where they think a solution is.
Speaker 1: And how realistic is it that they go to the
Speaker 1: Greens who are just promising, by the sheer hand of
Speaker 1: government they can bash down the cost of bread.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think that is a real threat, Paul.
Speaker 3: It's a real threat.
Speaker 10: Probably more so if we leave a vacuum and not
Speaker 10: come up with other solutions for people's problems, they want
Speaker 10: solutions and they'll be desperate for anything. You can tell
Speaker 10: the Greens right now they basically dropped climate change as
Speaker 10: a political issue. You hardly ever hear them talk about
Speaker 10: it outside of Canberra on the ground. I know in
Speaker 10: the streets around Brisbane and where they're trying to win seats,
Speaker 10: they've only really got one policy, and that's rent control. Now,
Speaker 10: rent control as a policy has but failed everywhere it
Speaker 10: has been tried in the world, but it won't stop.
Speaker 10: As you say, desperate people understandably trying to cling onto
Speaker 10: something like that. That's why I think it's very important
Speaker 10: that we do take a full set of policies to.
Speaker 3: The election, that we don't shrink on our values.
Speaker 10: So don't shy away from our principles, because if we're
Speaker 10: offering a proper and coherent set of responses to people,
Speaker 10: it's more likely to be the antidote to those cheap
Speaker 10: and lazy solutions like rent control. So I think we
Speaker 10: should take on the whole kit and caboodle, get rid
Speaker 10: of this net zero rubbish, all these climate targets, the
Speaker 10: only target we should have going for election for the
Speaker 10: Australian people is a cost of living target.
Speaker 3: Should be our number one and only focus.
Speaker 10: In everything we're doing, controlling our borders, promoting housing ownership,
Speaker 10: getting an energy system fixed, are all focused on that
Speaker 10: cost of living target, not meeting an international climate target
Speaker 10: which no one in the world is taking simiously anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, which might completely implode on what may be happening
Speaker 1: in November in the United States. Plenty to talk about
Speaker 1: about that, and a whole lot more. No, looks, no lefties,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're there wherever you happen to be, from
Speaker 1: the Tweed to anywhere else on the mighty Gold Coast
Speaker 1: all the rest of the country. Yeah, okay, that exists too. Hey,
Speaker 1: thank you to Graham who just sent me an email
Speaker 1: paulitsguy news dot com dot au. He says, well, I'm
Speaker 1: all fight up at the Queensland election, and rightly so.
Speaker 1: I won't keep listing the places fat freddies no anyway
Speaker 1: that are in and around and up for grabs at
Speaker 1: this upcoming election. There is an election before the Queensland election.
Speaker 1: It's the Act election. So yes, a glorified local council
Speaker 1: one but still, yes, that's the election that comes before Queensland.
Speaker 1: Thank you fact checkers one and all live now from
Speaker 1: the South Tweed Sports Club. Oh, he's going to give
Speaker 1: it a massive, a massive session. He will be doing
Speaker 1: it at the conclusion of this moment. Is sending it
Speaker 1: a Matt Canavan one who's yet to learn of the
Speaker 1: joys of the South Tweed Club or many others and
Speaker 1: all gladly shower is of course framely. The means is rich.
Speaker 1: Now we see yet again government's trying to move planning
Speaker 1: controls for renewable projects out of the hands of locals,
Speaker 1: making it easier and easier for these massive companies to
Speaker 1: be able to just bulldoze and get whatever they want. Matt, again,
Speaker 1: the suggestion of the teals or the ruling class in
Speaker 1: the Labor Party is it doesn't matter the national Party
Speaker 1: seats anyway. So give us an idea of how political
Speaker 1: pressure is applied in reverse to the people who are
Speaker 1: doing this.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 10: Look, I think ultimately, Paul, all politics is local. Now,
Speaker 10: there's the reason that you've outlined there that politicians are
Speaker 10: trying to take away that local powers. They vote overwhelmingly
Speaker 10: against these things. You've seen that in the polls recently
Speaker 10: that now less than fifty percent of people in regional
Speaker 10: Queensland support the scale industrialization of their landscapes. Support is creating.
Speaker 10: It's also falling in the cities as well. So the
Speaker 10: way we win this, the way we do apply that
Speaker 10: reverse pressure, as you say, is to keep highlighting the
Speaker 10: plight of poor farming families out there in the bush
Speaker 10: that having their livelihoods destroyed, our beautiful landscapes that are
Speaker 10: being now pop marked by these unnecessary and ineffective energy systems.
Speaker 10: The more that that gets highlighted by the people on
Speaker 10: shows like yours right around the country, the less the
Speaker 10: support is for these things. And you know, if you've
Speaker 10: got to keep in mind the only reason politicians, well,
Speaker 10: we'll take for example, the Queens of Goverment spending millions
Speaker 10: of your money on renewable energy ads. Every second, every
Speaker 10: second YouTube video open has a bloody ad that's been
Speaker 10: paid for by my taxes to promote the Queens and come.
Speaker 10: It's political agenda. The reason they do that is they
Speaker 10: think it's popular. That's as simple as that. They think
Speaker 10: it's popular, but it's losing its popularity, it's losing its
Speaker 10: currency and that's why you're seeing so much desperate reguard
Speaker 10: actions from the renewab energy sector trying to attack you there.
Speaker 3: It's not about climate change.
Speaker 10: If this is about climate change, they wouldn't be so
Speaker 10: passionately against nuclear power. Only passionately about one thing, and
Speaker 10: it's making money for themselves of this massive scam for
Speaker 10: renewable energy one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: One day we will use the term big wind and
Speaker 1: big solar and will mean the same thing in terms
Speaker 1: of an awful lot of people getting rich and in
Speaker 1: this case off certain government policies. It's certainly what I've
Speaker 1: always been focused on, and I'm glad that Matt and
Speaker 1: Barnaby particularly involved in the fight. Donald Trump gave an
Speaker 1: interview today where he was asked would you run again
Speaker 1: if you lose at this upcoming election. Unsurprisingly, he says no,
Speaker 1: and which means this is the last time he will
Speaker 1: be standing. He'll either be the president or he won't.
Speaker 4: If you're not successful this time, do you see yourself
Speaker 4: running again in four years?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 1: I don't. No, I think that that will be that
Speaker 1: will be it. I don't see that at all. Frail
Speaker 1: if he loses the election, what I'm afraid of is
Speaker 1: that he'll go to jail, but it won't be having
Speaker 1: to worry about whether he's running a ginning four years time.
Speaker 1: Are you obsessed with it? Do you follow every little detail?
Speaker 1: Or you know what, it's another country whatever. Get back
Speaker 1: to me in the morning.
Speaker 3: After I.
Speaker 11: Try to protect myself from the craziness. It is US
Speaker 11: politics and how it seems to come. I was going
Speaker 11: to say, there is there's definitely this spiral of doom
Speaker 11: that you can go down with US politics. So I
Speaker 11: try to remain sort of a bit detached, but I
Speaker 11: actually think I mean good on Trump actually acknowledging his age.
Speaker 11: In another four years, he'll be what eighty two. He's
Speaker 11: already been going since twenty fifteen, almost.
Speaker 1: Ten years until twenty and eighty six. There's no democracy.
Speaker 1: Democracy is on the ballot. Ironically in the police Matt,
Speaker 1: you know that I'm too far down, But I love
Speaker 1: it right. I love it down here in the detail.
Speaker 1: You can send down a rope lader if you want,
Speaker 1: you know, occasionally, little bit sick sometimes when I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the postal applications in Pennsylvania compared to four years ago.
Speaker 1: How tight are you on this stuff?
Speaker 10: I'm following it very closely. I mean, the last selection
Speaker 10: changed our own politics. None of us got to vote
Speaker 10: for lots of claims that dead people varted, that out
Speaker 10: of state people varted. I don't think any claims that
Speaker 10: Australians varted. But we apparently had to change our climate
Speaker 10: change policies because Joe Biden got elected and Scott Morris
Speaker 10: and the prime is to send that to us at
Speaker 10: the time.
Speaker 3: So it's very important.
Speaker 10: And if Donald Trump gets elected, I think, as you
Speaker 10: said earlier, we'll see a sea change on climate change
Speaker 10: policy around the world, and that'll mean a big thing
Speaker 10: for people who work in the cole industry, the gas
Speaker 10: industry at my home state and makes so much money for.
Speaker 1: Us all again, so we focus on Australian politics. We
Speaker 1: mentioned the international stuff because of its consequences and there's
Speaker 1: such big characters, big data, all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: So that's my reason, not a justification, just an explanation.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Frayer, Thank you very much, senator.
Speaker 1: Enjoy the tweed, mate, kiss the ground for me.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: It's a great part of the world, isn't it. By
Speaker 1: the way, we are going to be hitting our town
Speaker 1: this weekend, but it's going to be in and around Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Four Grand Final weekend lines versus Swans see tomorrow
