Speaker 1: Live on Skyn's Australia.
Speaker 2: This is to Nika de Georgio, Hello and welcome to
Speaker 2: the program coming up tonight. An innocent woman ambushed and
Speaker 2: stabbed in broad daylight in the middle of Melbourne's CBD,
Speaker 2: Yet Victorian Premier Justin to Alan insists the city is safe.
Speaker 2: Who does she think she's kidding? Two years on from
Speaker 2: the Voice referendum and labor governments across the country are
Speaker 2: still trying to divide us by the color of our skin.
Speaker 2: The Liberal Senator Justinta nampajin for price will join me shortly,
Speaker 2: and military chiefs have begun high level talks about potential
Speaker 2: Australian involvement in guars of peacekeeping operations. But first tonight,
Speaker 2: three days ago, Victorian Premier Justin to Allan declared Melbourne's
Speaker 2: CBD safe.
Speaker 3: The CBD of Melbourne is safe, and I wish to
Speaker 3: reiterate that the Melbourne CBD is safe.
Speaker 2: Well, Justin to Alan should clip that up and make
Speaker 2: it part of her campaign material because it's such a
Speaker 2: wonderful selling point for the city, isn't it. But the
Speaker 2: only people it serves to benefit are criminals. The very
Speaker 2: words the CBD is safe is a criminal's paradise in
Speaker 2: a city where crime is out of control. Now, I
Speaker 2: don't know what the premier's version of safe looks like,
Speaker 2: because have a look at the video I'm about to
Speaker 2: show you and ask yourself, does this look safe to you?
Speaker 2: The confronting vision you're about to see shows an innocent
Speaker 2: woman being ambushed and stabbed in broad daylight in the
Speaker 2: middle of the CBD.
Speaker 4: Stalking her target from behind, the attacker pulled a long
Speaker 4: knife from her pocket, then plunged it into a random
Speaker 4: victim's chest. Thirty six year old Wine Lay left stunned
Speaker 4: and bleeding on Little Burke Street. Her sister says it
Speaker 4: was unprovoked.
Speaker 5: Suddenly phil someone touch her len very hurting.
Speaker 4: Miss Leigh had been walking to work as a sushi
Speaker 4: chef at seven thirty five am, unaware she was being followed.
Speaker 2: Horrific thirty six year old Wan Lee was stabbed in
Speaker 2: the middle of the CBD on her way to work
Speaker 2: at seven thirty five in the morning on October two.
Speaker 2: She was left with a punctured lung and spent three
Speaker 2: days in hospital. In fact, the knife just missed piercing
Speaker 2: her heart, and yesterday she moved out of her apartment
Speaker 2: as she is too scared to live there. But hang
Speaker 2: on a minute, what did you center Allan tell us.
Speaker 3: Again the CBD of Melbourne is safe, and I wish
Speaker 3: to reiterate that the Melbourne CBD is safe.
Speaker 2: No, nothing at all, nothing to see here, And here
Speaker 2: is what we know about the alleged defender.
Speaker 4: CCTV captured the attacker running off down Spencer Street with
Speaker 4: her blade still out. Police say she was on bail
Speaker 4: for other offenses at the time.
Speaker 2: So she was out on This is what Jacinta Allen's
Speaker 2: so called toughest bail laws in the country looks like.
Speaker 2: And putting this case aside for the moment, this is
Speaker 2: a government so captured by ideology it avoids locking people
Speaker 2: up rather bailing them, and the public is paying the price.
Speaker 2: Police are clearly stretched to the max with youth crime
Speaker 2: out of control and weekly protests and it's now just
Speaker 2: an all in. It's another day in Melbourne, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Peppered with a daily stabbing or two, several carjackings and
Speaker 2: home invasions. And of course these alleged tough bail laws
Speaker 2: may as well be rendered useless. They only work if
Speaker 2: the justice system obliges. These crims are laughing at us
Speaker 2: in a city deemed safe.
Speaker 3: The CBD of Melbourne is safe, and I wish to
Speaker 3: reiterate that the Melbourne CBD is safe.
Speaker 2: Now. Look what makes this even more offensive is the
Speaker 2: premier's response to the stabbing today.
Speaker 6: This alleged to Bendel was on mail have your top
Speaker 6: of oil laws Dale?
Speaker 3: Well, this act of shocking, brazen violence that we've seen
Speaker 3: on Little Burke Street in Melbourne's CBD is just absolutely sickening.
Speaker 3: It's sickening, and my thoughts and support go to the
Speaker 3: victim and her wider family who are also supporting her
Speaker 3: what is no doubt an incredibly difficult and traumatic time.
Speaker 2: Yes, thoughts and prayers again and offering up support that'll
Speaker 2: do it for a young woman who's now been left
Speaker 2: traumatized and is too scared to leave her own home
Speaker 2: because in the CBD that the premier declared safe is
Speaker 2: not actually safe. And this premier speaks as if it's
Speaker 2: just another run of the mill incident, and that's exactly
Speaker 2: the issue to her. It's another incident for her, It's
Speaker 2: another incident where she just offers up support for Melbournians.
Speaker 2: It's another worrying day of out of control crime because
Speaker 2: there is there's no support.
Speaker 3: She then went on, I want to thank Victoria Police
Speaker 3: for moving swiftly, for moving swiftly, for apprehending this individual.
Speaker 3: This individual is now on remand in jail awaiting a
Speaker 3: court date, and I thank Victoria Police for that swift
Speaker 3: work in responding to this just sickening crime.
Speaker 2: So thank you police, Well done, bravo. And well that's it.
Speaker 2: She moves on like nothing ever happened. Thanks police, you
Speaker 2: did it again. You saved just into Allan's backside again.
Speaker 2: So let's ask this again. Melbourne CBD must be safe?
Speaker 7: Right, is Melbourne CBD sad?
Speaker 3: So this was a brazen, shocking act. It was a shocking,
Speaker 3: brazen act of violence that has no place on any
Speaker 3: street in any town. And that is why I'm thanking
Speaker 3: Victoria Police for their very very quick response and that
Speaker 3: this individual is now in jail, on remand waiting for
Speaker 3: their next court appearance.
Speaker 2: So let me get this right. Three days ago it
Speaker 2: was safe. Today Justina Allan couldn't even say because she's
Speaker 2: got nothing to say. And you know what, let me
Speaker 2: just give you a quick summary of everything she said today.
Speaker 3: Shocking, brazen violence, absolutely sickening. It's sickening, raisen, shocking act.
Speaker 3: It was a shocking, brazen act of violence. The shocking
Speaker 3: act of violence. It was brazen, it was an extreme
Speaker 3: active violence.
Speaker 2: That is just sickening, terrible, shocking, sickening and act of violence.
Speaker 2: We know that, we know that. But that was her
Speaker 2: playbook today, her labor lines written out in advance, committed
Speaker 2: to memory, to sell to the public, and we all
Speaker 2: know it's now a sick joke. Justina Alan does not
Speaker 2: have the willpower to get on top of this. Enough
Speaker 2: is enough. Her disaster is playing out in front of
Speaker 2: our very eyes. Last night there was a stabbing attack
Speaker 2: in reservoir. A man has been left with life threatening injuries.
Speaker 2: Three days ago, a man allegedly pointed a gun at
Speaker 2: police as he ran from offices in Melbourne, CBD in
Speaker 2: the middle of the day. He was on bail allegedly
Speaker 2: for stealing a car. Day in, day out, it's one
Speaker 2: machete attack after another. Kids are slashing each other in
Speaker 2: violent machete brawls. Shopping centers have become the new fight clubs.
Speaker 2: Kids have been killed, warring youth gangs, home invasions, carjackings.
Speaker 2: I could go on and on, because it never ends.
Speaker 2: Victoria is in the middle of record breaking crime. In
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, in New South Wales there were twenty
Speaker 2: seven thousand burglaries, fourteen eight hundred and ninety nine stolen vehicles,
Speaker 2: and just over twenty eight thousand fests from shops. Do
Speaker 2: you compare that with Victoria forty eight thousand burglaries, almost
Speaker 2: twenty nine thousand stolen vehicles and just under thirty nine
Speaker 2: thousand thefts from shops, and bear in mind the population
Speaker 2: of New South Wales is twenty percent larger. John Roscom
Speaker 2: writes in the Australian Financial Review Today that this crime
Speaker 2: crisis was all Daniel Andrew's doing and it started during
Speaker 2: the pandemic. He says, young Victorians were locked in their
Speaker 2: homes for months on end, without school, without work, and
Speaker 2: without support. It should be no surprise that a small
Speaker 2: minority of young people are treating Victorians with the same
Speaker 2: sort of contempt that a few years ago Victorians treated them.
Speaker 2: It was so easy to see this coming and Jacinta
Speaker 2: Allen's magic carpetride solution is a machete amnesty bin and
Speaker 2: if it wasn't so serious, you'd actually laugh at the
Speaker 2: very prospect. And all I can put it down to
Speaker 2: is this, This comes up Jacinta Allan's tough on crime approach.
Speaker 3: The CBD of Melbourne is safe, and I wish to
Speaker 3: reiterate that the Melbourne CBD is safe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, her tough on crime approach is a marshmallow. She's
Speaker 2: not up to this, she's not got the courage to
Speaker 2: get on top of this, and its innocent civilians paying
Speaker 2: the price daily. Well, what does it mean to be
Speaker 2: Australian under labor? Now? When I think of what it
Speaker 2: means to be an Aussie, I think of pride in
Speaker 2: this country, pride in our flag. I think of the
Speaker 2: values the ANZACs instilled, like madship, courage and bravery. But
Speaker 2: that is all redundant under labor, which continues to make
Speaker 2: a complete mockery of this country and a mockery of
Speaker 2: everyday Aussies through the people it keeps bringing. In. Home
Speaker 2: Affairs Minister Tony Burke has announced that as many as
Speaker 2: seven hundred Garzens could soon call Australia home.
Speaker 8: The people who we have on our caseload, there's roughly
Speaker 8: six to seven hundred of them, well, roughly six to
Speaker 8: seven hundred on our caseload. Sometimes we had peaceful on
Speaker 8: our caseload where we don't know if they're still alive,
Speaker 8: but we've got roughly six to seven hundred on our caseload.
Speaker 2: Look, this is an utter insult to every day Laura
Speaker 2: abiding peaceful Aussies. Last year they let in under two
Speaker 2: thousand gardens with little to no security checks. Tony Burke
Speaker 2: even did a private meet and greet at Sydney Airport
Speaker 2: with one family when Gardens touched down a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2: In fact, he spoke of the delight in welcoming them
Speaker 2: in just yesterday.
Speaker 8: That mother and daughter had spent eighteen months hiding in
Speaker 8: a church in Gaza before I had the portfolio. Just
Speaker 8: by chance, someone had handed me a phone and I'd
Speaker 8: found myself having a video conversation with them while they
Speaker 8: were hiding. I was really pleased to be a minister
Speaker 8: in the sort of country where I could meet them
Speaker 8: the airport and I could say you're welcome here, You're safe.
Speaker 2: Garza's neighbors, including Egypt and Jordan, have refused to take
Speaker 2: refugees despite the two year Israel Humas War, but Australia
Speaker 2: under Labor has the welcome matte unfilled. And don't forget
Speaker 2: the majority of Gazans support HUMAS and supported the October seven,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three attack on Israel. And what Tony Burke
Speaker 2: is just so sure that those he's let in don't
Speaker 2: support Humas. I mean, we already have a rampant anti
Speaker 2: Semitism problem in this country and the minister wants to
Speaker 2: bring in more refugees, some of whom may be sympathetic
Speaker 2: to Humas. Really not to mention Isis brides have been
Speaker 2: welcomed in with open arms. We have a mass migration
Speaker 2: problem as it is, what is this Australia and what
Speaker 2: does it mean to be Australian under labor anymore? Because
Speaker 2: I think Australia is a soup bowl of dangerous ideology
Speaker 2: which has been imported and throw that into a big
Speaker 2: Australia policy which has seen some people come here whose
Speaker 2: values are entirely incompatible with our own, and Labour calls
Speaker 2: of multiculturalism and keeps the door open. And look, federal
Speaker 2: labor is not immune. The Daily Telegraph revealed today that
Speaker 2: tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars have been thrown at
Speaker 2: a Sydney Islamic group with Hesbela ties and whose leader
Speaker 2: publicly vowed the annihilation of Israel. That is, South Wales
Speaker 2: government granted the Araham Benevolent Society thirty three thousand dollars
Speaker 2: in social cohesion and security payments. It comes eight months
Speaker 2: after the society's mosque and Sydney held a commemoration ceremony
Speaker 2: for three killed Hesbela fighters. And don't forget that Hesbela
Speaker 2: is a listed terror group in Australia. When will our
Speaker 2: interests as Australians be put first? Because labor is a
Speaker 2: threat to our social cohesion And I've said this before
Speaker 2: and I'll say it again. I do not think we
Speaker 2: have control over the culture where trying to create anymore.
Speaker 2: The horse has bolted and what a shame. Labor does
Speaker 2: not know what it means to be Australian. Let's go
Speaker 2: straight to the Shadow Attorney General, Andrew Wallace. Now, good
Speaker 2: to see you again, Andrew, thanks for joining me. I
Speaker 2: want to start with this stabbing in broad daylight in Melbourne.
Speaker 2: I'll show the clip once more and a warning it
Speaker 2: is distressing. Now you were in the city this week
Speaker 2: with Susan Lee talking about crime there jacent to. Allen
Speaker 2: has again shot down calls for Jack's Law, which is
Speaker 2: legislation in place in your home state of Queensland as
Speaker 2: well in New South Wales. It allows police to use
Speaker 2: handheld metal detectors. What message does this send to citizens
Speaker 2: of her state?
Speaker 5: Well, Donica, thanks for having me on. I mean that
Speaker 5: footage is just absolutely sickening. I'm sure that Australians across
Speaker 5: the country are very upset just to see that. I
Speaker 5: want to extend my best wishes to the young lady
Speaker 5: and her family. It is utterly unacceptable where we have
Speaker 5: a situation where Australians and visitors cannot simply walk down
Speaker 5: a street in a capital city in broad daylight and
Speaker 5: not be assaulted. It's just unfathomable that Melbourne has got
Speaker 5: to this stage. The Melbourne crime rates have increased by
Speaker 5: eighteen percent over the last twelve months. Eighteen percent just
Speaker 5: in the last twelve months, Danika, there've been nine thousand
Speaker 5: additional offenses against the person from compared to last year.
Speaker 5: That's things like rape, assault, murder, the sort of violent
Speaker 5: physical offenses. An additional nine thousand from the figures of
Speaker 5: last year. It is utterly inconceivable that this is acceptable
Speaker 5: to Australians. They're getting angry and what I'm hearing from
Speaker 5: people on the street is that it is that the
Speaker 5: crime is becoming the number one hot issue for Victorian's.
Speaker 2: Oh look absolutely, and you know the Premier had the
Speaker 2: goal to say that the CBD is safe. How much
Speaker 2: more evidence do you need that there is clearly a
Speaker 2: serious issue. You know, it's just unbelievable. Now I'll ask
Speaker 2: you what do you make of the comments by Nationals
Speaker 2: leader David little Proud saying that he would welcome any
Speaker 2: Liberals defecting to the junior party. There were reports in
Speaker 2: The Australian this week that a Liberal MP has maybe
Speaker 2: tossed up the idea that if seven of his colleagues
Speaker 2: defected to the Nationals, the balance of power within the
Speaker 2: coalition would be flipped. The differences between Moderates and Conservatives
Speaker 2: are reconcilable, particularly on energy andrew to the point where
Speaker 2: there may be defectors to the Nats.
Speaker 5: Well, Denika, I'm now in the role of the Shadow
Speaker 5: Attorney General and I can tell you now that I
Speaker 5: am absolutely fixed on ensuring that we toughen our laws
Speaker 5: in Australia. I want to back police and I want
Speaker 5: to return safety and security to Australians. That's what I'm
Speaker 5: focused on everyday. Australians aren't concerned with who's talking to who,
Speaker 5: who's saying what to who.
Speaker 1: They just want us to get on with our jobs.
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what I'll be doing, and I'll be
Speaker 5: encouraging all my colleagues to do exactly what's saying.
Speaker 2: I do agree. I think that the parties spent enough
Speaker 2: time talking about themselves, But I mean is they're a
Speaker 2: genuine prospect of defectors.
Speaker 5: Look, it hasn't worked well for others in the past,
Speaker 5: so I don't think it will work well for others
Speaker 5: and if they.
Speaker 1: Tried it in the future.
Speaker 5: But I'm certainly not hearing any whispers along those lines.
Speaker 5: So I'm just concentrating on my job as a Shadow
Speaker 5: Attorney General to make people more secure and more safe
Speaker 5: in this country.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, the big meetings coming up next week
Speaker 2: in the US. Anthony Aarbeneasy to meet Donald Trump. We've
Speaker 2: been waiting for this for a while. What sort of
Speaker 2: a reception do you think he's going to receive?
Speaker 5: Well, we want this to be a success full outcome.
Speaker 5: This is a team Australian moment. When the Prime Minister
Speaker 5: of Australia meets with a foreign leader, we want a
Speaker 5: successful outcome for the Australian people. I know that Susan
Speaker 5: Lee has written to the Prime Minister and set out
Speaker 5: various markers as to what she'd like to see out
Speaker 5: of the meeting, not the least of which is the
Speaker 5: most important military alliance that we've ever been involved in,
Speaker 5: and that is that military agreement, and that is AUCUS.
Speaker 5: Aucust remains under somewhat of a cloud at the moment,
Speaker 5: and we need to assure ensure that as a result
Speaker 5: of this meeting with the President, that the Prime Minister
Speaker 5: walks away with a solid commitment from him that the
Speaker 5: United States will continue with AUCUS.
Speaker 1: We also need to see a commitment to reduction of
Speaker 1: tariffs as well.
Speaker 5: The trade agreement between Australia and the United States important
Speaker 5: for Australians, and Australians just want to see their Prime
Speaker 5: minister and they'd be happy to see him.
Speaker 1: Have a meeting with the Prime Minister.
Speaker 5: That's taken a long time, and just like every.
Speaker 1: Other Australian, we want to see the Prime Minister succeed.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see what happens next week, but I look
Speaker 2: forward to hearing the outcome. We're almost out of time,
Speaker 2: but just very quickly want to ask you about a
Speaker 2: very important story. Child sex offenders could get a mandatory
Speaker 2: minimum of five years in jail. This is under a
Speaker 2: bill being backed by the opposition. I'm surprised it's actually
Speaker 2: not in place from the start, to be honest, Andrew,
Speaker 2: but tell us more about it.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 5: Last sitting week, Julian Lisa, who was the former Shadow
Speaker 5: Attorney General, moved an urgent bill to be debated which
Speaker 5: would increase penalties for people involved in Commonwealth child sex
Speaker 5: offenses offenses. This arose out of a case in Victoria
Speaker 5: where an individual had sexually assaulted his five year old
Speaker 5: daughter on nineteen occasions, and to make matters worse, he
Speaker 5: made seventy seven images digital images, both videos and still
Speaker 5: shots and then transmitted.
Speaker 1: Datas over the internet.
Speaker 5: And for the physical offense and the Commonwealth offenses he
Speaker 5: got two and a half years in prison, six months
Speaker 5: of which were for the Commonwealth offenses. Now those Commonwealth
Speaker 5: offenses alone carry a maximum term of fifteen years imprisonment.
Speaker 1: So Julian and Lisa moved a bill that would see
Speaker 1: those sort.
Speaker 5: Of Commonwealth offenses have a mandatory minimum sentence of five
Speaker 5: years for a first offense or six years for a
Speaker 5: subsequent offense. Unfortunately, Labor didn't support that, debating that bill
Speaker 5: and said, well, no, you can wait till Parliament resumes. Look,
Speaker 5: I'm really struggling with this. Two hundred and twenty six
Speaker 5: children a day are reported to the ACE ye and shocking.
Speaker 1: We've got to do better.
Speaker 2: I completely agree. Look, I'm just shocked that this is
Speaker 2: not something that's in place from the very beginning. It
Speaker 2: should be a It's so basic, really, Andrew Wallace, we've
Speaker 2: got to leave it there. Nice to see as always,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for joining me. Well. Look, a
Speaker 2: company overseeing China's controversial Belt and Road initiative has been
Speaker 2: engaged to work on Australia net zero projects. News Corp
Speaker 2: is today reporting the developers of two battery farms have
Speaker 2: outsourced work to the China Energy Engineering Corporation, which is
Speaker 2: owned and under the direct supervision of the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 2: Now one of the batteries has been handed priority status
Speaker 2: by the Albanezi government Jody. Now for more on this
Speaker 2: is Adam Morrison, the Energy program director at the Center
Speaker 2: for Independent Studies. Aiden, we now know why Albo loves
Speaker 2: spending so much time in China. The majority of our
Speaker 2: solar panels already, they're made in China. Now we've got
Speaker 2: these reports that battery farms are being overseen by the sea.
Speaker 2: How worried should we be about where our taxpayer money
Speaker 2: is going into these schemes.
Speaker 9: Look, I think we have every right to ask some
Speaker 9: questions here. It's up to Albert where he chooses to
Speaker 9: take his holidays. I suppose if China's a nice destination,
Speaker 9: all well and good. But these batteries are actually expected
Speaker 9: to play a really crucial role in our energy system.
Speaker 9: In particular, batteries and some advanced inverters that are still
Speaker 9: being developed are supposed to help with a thing called
Speaker 9: a black start capability, which means if there's a blackout,
Speaker 9: how do you get the grid up and running. And
Speaker 9: this is previously relatively simple when coal and gas plants
Speaker 9: were able to use their huge inertia of their spinning machines.
Speaker 9: But now under the wind and solar plan, we need
Speaker 9: other systems and the batteries are going to be relied
Speaker 9: on for that, and one of these Australian companies has
Speaker 9: been particularly active in trying to engage in the processes
Speaker 9: to set the standards for this black start restart capability.
Speaker 9: And so I think when it comes to being able
Speaker 9: to switch the lights back on in a critical emergency
Speaker 9: where there's a blackout, this is very important for Australians
Speaker 9: literally being able to turn the lights back on. And
Speaker 9: so you'd think there would have to be some reasonable
Speaker 9: scrutiny about the degree of trust that we have in
Speaker 9: the companies that are providing what is truly critical infrastructure.
Speaker 2: Well, you'd absolutely hope. So I just think it's a
Speaker 2: really frightening to be honest. Now, Look, there's been another
Speaker 2: blow to the renewable energy magic carpet ride. The two
Speaker 2: gigawa Kent offshore wind project on Victoria's Gippsland Coast has
Speaker 2: been dumped as global energy companies continue to quit our market.
Speaker 2: Aiden how critical was this project in terms of the
Speaker 2: state's renewables transition.
Speaker 9: Look, the Victorian government is the only one that has
Speaker 9: actually put in a special government policy target for an
Speaker 9: amount offshore wind and they expect to have nine gigawats
Speaker 9: in place by twenty forty. There's no other state that
Speaker 9: has actually had a state target mandating a certain amount
Speaker 9: of offshore wind. So two gigawa's out of that nine
Speaker 9: is a pretty significant chunk overall. But I'd also like
Speaker 9: to point out that the original plan, the premise for
Speaker 9: why Victoria one and to actually start an offshore wind
Speaker 9: policy one of the original policy papers, and that said
Speaker 9: that if they relied on onshore resources that require something
Speaker 9: like seventy percent of Victorian agricultural land to be taken
Speaker 9: up by wind and solar. So if they're not going
Speaker 9: to put it offshore, that will increase the amount of
Speaker 9: pressure that goes to onshore wind and solar. And as
Speaker 9: you can see every day, the landowners in many of
Speaker 9: these regions are extremely upset about the industrialization of the
Speaker 9: landscape that's going on there, with all the towers required
Speaker 9: for solar panels, batteries, and the transmission lines and turbines.
Speaker 9: So I think it is a big blow, but inevitable
Speaker 9: because offshore wind around the world is being canceled. The
Speaker 9: economics simply do not stack up.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't, yet we're persisting here but you're right.
Speaker 2: I mean it's prime pristine land that has been cut up.
Speaker 2: Not that you hear that from labor or the Greens
Speaker 2: or you know, the environmentalists. You don't hear that as
Speaker 2: they push forward with this renewables fantasy. And I want
Speaker 2: to ask you, what do you make of these reports
Speaker 2: from the Gratin Institute that Australian household energy bills are
Speaker 2: set to have by twenty fifty. The report claims it
Speaker 2: leaves policy room labor to cut emissions in the electricity
Speaker 2: sector without hurting households. I did laugh, aid, And when
Speaker 2: I read this, the report says that these savings come
Speaker 2: because most households in twenty fifty will have solar panels,
Speaker 2: a battery in the shed, and an electric car in
Speaker 2: the garage and all electric appliances in the home. How
Speaker 2: could they be so sure?
Speaker 9: Look, that's exactly right. So look to give Graton some credit.
Speaker 9: They don't project that power prices will actually fall, all right,
Speaker 9: so they suggest they'll remain flat, which I take issue
Speaker 9: with for a whole bunch of other assumptions, but you've
Speaker 9: nailed that particularly key assumption. It's one of these huge
Speaker 9: what if hopeful assumptions that premise all these optimistic reports,
Speaker 9: and that is that basically they've chosen to focus on
Speaker 9: the total energy bill, including your car's petrol, and then say, well,
Speaker 9: that might go down if you get electricity for your
Speaker 9: car instead through an electric vehicle, and you charge that
Speaker 9: from the sun at the right kind of time with
Speaker 9: the grid that supports it, and you've got to be
Speaker 9: home battery as well to back all that up. So
Speaker 9: it really relies a whole string of assumptions that I
Speaker 9: think year by year we just see how fanciful these
Speaker 9: kinds of things are. There are other assumptions inherent in
Speaker 9: that report as well that assume that green hydrogen will
Speaker 9: still make up a significant part of Australia's energy transition,
Speaker 9: which I think is another really poor assumption. So, but
Speaker 9: the big one is is that their claim that household
Speaker 9: bills will go down is really only possible to make
Speaker 9: because your household expenditure on all these big capital systems,
Speaker 9: which will cost you thousands per year to pay off
Speaker 9: things like a new car or two, a new battery
Speaker 9: or two because they need to be replaced every ten
Speaker 9: or fifteen years. That will make your overall energy costs
Speaker 9: a lot lot higher, and they've really been able to
Speaker 9: sort of squirm their way into sort of focusing on
Speaker 9: just a narrow part of your cost stack on bills
Speaker 9: to make that claim. So quite disappointing in my mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree, Aiden. We have to leave it there.
Speaker 2: Nice to see you. Thanks very much for joining me
Speaker 2: on the show this evening. We're coming up after the break.
Speaker 2: Military chiefs have begun high level talks about potential Australian
Speaker 2: involvement in Gaza peacekeeping operations. That are more with my panel.
Speaker 2: Next welcome back. Joining me is New South Wales Independent
Speaker 2: MP Tanya Mahalik and former New South Wales Police bitister
Speaker 2: David Elliott hid to both of you, thanks so much
Speaker 2: for joining me. Now I want to start with this
Speaker 2: story that military chiefs have begun high level talks about
Speaker 2: potential Australian involvement in Gaza peacekeeping operations. Should Anthony Albernezi
Speaker 2: call on the military to provide air, Navy, army or
Speaker 2: tactical support for peace, of course, which was broken this
Speaker 2: week by Donald Trump. Now, David, I know that you
Speaker 2: were once a peacekeeper, a young army officer. Do you
Speaker 2: think that we would indeed be called up for support.
Speaker 2: And what would that look like?
Speaker 10: Well, I think we should. I think we should offer it.
Speaker 10: I think we should be proactive. I mean, remember Australians
Speaker 10: have served in the Middle East to stop Islamic terrorism
Speaker 10: since eighteen eighty five. We went over to the Sudan
Speaker 10: in eighteen eighty five, and I think you know we've
Speaker 10: since then, we continue to have a presence in the
Speaker 10: Sinai Peninsula as observers.
Speaker 11: So we're ready to do it.
Speaker 10: What would it be, Well, it depends do they want specialists,
Speaker 10: do they want an army medical team, do they want
Speaker 10: intelligence support? Do they want, like David Hurley led into
Speaker 10: Somalia in the mid nineteen nineties, a battalion, a full
Speaker 10: infantry battalion. But I think at the moment that the
Speaker 10: operational temper of the Astraian Defense Force lends itself to
Speaker 10: being there.
Speaker 11: I think we should do it.
Speaker 10: I think we've been vocal enough about what we want
Speaker 10: and you can't say that we want a separate state
Speaker 10: there without offering the type of security that that state
Speaker 10: would require.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look fair enough, as you mentioned, I mean we've
Speaker 2: had a long history of peacekeeping. Good move. If we're
Speaker 2: asked Tanya.
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, David suggesting paths we offer it. I'm not
Speaker 12: sure whether we should offer, but certainly if we are
Speaker 12: asked by the US, I think we should agree to
Speaker 12: participate in the end of the US and I think
Speaker 12: Donald Trump has said he doesn't want to actually be
Speaker 12: on the ground himself or the US themselves. They want
Speaker 12: the Our League and the neighboring countries to play.
Speaker 2: A big role.
Speaker 12: But ultimately the UK, France as well as Our League
Speaker 12: will have to actually probably have a UN Security Council
Speaker 12: resolution to assist them, if not some type of resolution
Speaker 12: to legally assist. I think it would be very fitting
Speaker 12: for Australia to assist. We have always been participated, as
Speaker 12: David has said, in peace making and peacekeeping missions, and
Speaker 12: we're well renowned for our terrific officers that we have
Speaker 12: and the skills that Australia can offer. Look, it requires
Speaker 12: a global solution. This is you know, the world has
Speaker 12: been a standstill for two years now. We need a
Speaker 12: global solution and we're going to need everybody to play
Speaker 12: their role, and I think Australia will have to play
Speaker 12: their role. And I think you've already seen it seems
Speaker 12: like the Australian government is getting ready for that, and
Speaker 12: I hope that the Opposition will support it and there'll
Speaker 12: be a full support, although imagine the Greens won't support this.
Speaker 2: Well, the Greens were never supported. I'm just glad that
Speaker 2: we're now talking about peacekeeping missions and we're gone from
Speaker 2: war and you know, finally we're actually seeing some progress.
Speaker 2: Well done, Donald Trump. Now, the Home Affairs Minister Tony
Speaker 2: Burke has announced that as many as seven hundred gardens
Speaker 2: could soon call Australia Home. I spoke about this earlier
Speaker 2: in the show that I think this is an utter
Speaker 2: insult to everyday law abiding, peaceful assies. David last year,
Speaker 2: of course, labor let him just under two thousand gardens
Speaker 2: with little to no security checks. We've got isis brides.
Speaker 2: There's already a big Australia policy. What on earth is
Speaker 2: the minister thinking here.
Speaker 10: Well, that's right, all while he will tell the South
Speaker 10: African whites that they're not welcome. And so, I mean,
Speaker 10: I think this is very dangerous and it is unnecessary
Speaker 10: because if we're going to send peacekeepers into the Middle East,
Speaker 10: and this is another argument why Australia would send peacekeepers
Speaker 10: into the Middle East is because we want to make
Speaker 10: sure that there is a safe environment for the guards
Speaker 10: for the Palestinian refugees to go home. And that's what
Speaker 10: we did with the Bosnians, That's what we did after
Speaker 10: the Balkans disputes in the nineteen nineties. And I think
Speaker 10: it's only appropriate. I mean, as I don't understand, God
Speaker 10: forbid the day occurs where there was trouble like that
Speaker 10: in Australia and I didn't come home to help fix it.
Speaker 10: And so I think that these Palestinians need to work out.
Speaker 10: They're given the opportunity to have a peaceful existence. The
Speaker 10: international community is now going to provide them the military protection.
Speaker 10: It is safe to go home. It is time for
Speaker 10: you to return and build that nation that you wanted
Speaker 10: so desperately.
Speaker 2: So I completely agree here, you know, I just the
Speaker 2: strategy that laboring. What are they doing seriously.
Speaker 12: Well, I think labor strategy is very simple. They want
Speaker 12: to win the next election and they can see this
Speaker 12: as a boat winner for themselves. Tony Burke's seat, there
Speaker 12: are a lot of people there very sympathetic to Palestine
Speaker 12: and to the cause there, so he is bringing in
Speaker 12: people that he knows will suit the demographic of his
Speaker 12: electorate and help Labor win and continue to hold some
Speaker 12: of these Southwest and Western Sydney seats. So this is
Speaker 12: a political strategy on the part of Tony Burke. This
Speaker 12: is not a refugee or humanity project for him. It's
Speaker 12: not about caring about these people. This is about building
Speaker 12: the numbers so that Labor can win the next election
Speaker 12: and to peace the union movement and the labor branches
Speaker 12: where he's got a lot of people there. I mean,
Speaker 12: where did the grassroots campaign start for Gaza and for
Speaker 12: Palestine in the In Australia it started in a later
Speaker 12: party in the national estate crisis.
Speaker 2: This is a problem and that's what this is about.
Speaker 2: For Tony births very political.
Speaker 12: It's just virtue signaling is completely ru.
Speaker 2: Well, remember the citizenship you know over I've got a
Speaker 2: citizenship before the election, ouralthies, their selfies and now you know,
Speaker 2: the meet and greet at the airport never ends. I
Speaker 2: want to ask you both about that horrific stabbing attack
Speaker 2: in Melbourne's CBD. I'll show the clip again a warning.
Speaker 2: It is distressing.
Speaker 7: David.
Speaker 2: The incident happened on October second, but we only found
Speaker 2: out about this yesterday thanks to media reports. Just Into
Speaker 2: Allen basically said, oh, you know, this was part of
Speaker 2: the process and that's just the way it is. But
Speaker 2: an almost two week delay is that normal?
Speaker 10: Well, that isn't part of the process. So that's sort
Speaker 10: of a horrendous crime. The community needs to be made
Speaker 10: aware of. It needs to be made aware of a
Speaker 10: number of reasons, not the least being that they have
Speaker 10: to be able to identified the fact that these activities
Speaker 10: are occurring and people need to increase their sense of
Speaker 10: safety personal safety. But I mean, I don't know what's
Speaker 10: going on down in Melbourne, I really don't. It just
Speaker 10: appears that the community is ignorant and blind to the
Speaker 10: fact that they've got a government that seems to excuse
Speaker 10: criminals more than excuses anybody else.
Speaker 2: Which is and that is a big that is a
Speaker 2: really really big concern. But Tanya, I mean, is this
Speaker 2: a cover up?
Speaker 12: Absolutely similar at a mile away with this one, the
Speaker 12: guy was on bail so and then the.
Speaker 2: Woman sorry, they've got bleeding bleeding heart.
Speaker 12: Sort of, you know bail laws in Victoria, and I
Speaker 12: think that.
Speaker 2: They are covering up.
Speaker 12: And you've got Brad Batton now has said, Look, they
Speaker 12: wanted to do Jack's law, the same lord that's in Queensland.
Speaker 2: But I think the Opposition need.
Speaker 12: To do more than that. They need to completely reform
Speaker 12: bail laws. They need to offer a full package that
Speaker 12: says they're going to have better bail laws that you know, basically,
Speaker 12: you commit.
Speaker 2: The crime, you're in jail. Sorry, and this and that's
Speaker 2: when Victoria's tough on crime approach at play here. Now
Speaker 2: I want to end on the fun on a fun
Speaker 2: one because David, I saw your article in the Daily
Speaker 2: Telegraph today about your gripes with technology and one of
Speaker 2: them was Siri. You know, and you talk to your phone.
Speaker 2: Siri told me this that David got a gripe with it.
Speaker 2: You've written. No one asked me if I wanted a
Speaker 2: lady living in my pocket who was prepared to answer
Speaker 2: my personal questions? So why is she there? And I'm
Speaker 2: going to say it reminded me of this mishap in
Speaker 2: the Senate estimates. Have a look.
Speaker 13: When did they leave the country to go over seas
Speaker 13: to go to Syria, whether Syria, which country were there in,
Speaker 13: which which refugee camp were they in?
Speaker 7: Okay, details.
Speaker 6: I don't mind that come up, Siri, you didn't have
Speaker 6: it all technowledge.
Speaker 1: I do apologize, yes.
Speaker 2: Sirih likes to pop up at the worst time, David.
Speaker 2: So maybe you've got a point.
Speaker 10: Well, I think I do, and it's answered some questions
Speaker 10: that I didn't ask in the past in cabinet. And
Speaker 10: I very rarely feel sorry for Queensland senators, but Paul
Speaker 10: had had my upstates.
Speaker 11: Exactly, and I mean.
Speaker 10: It just goes to show that we've got to be
Speaker 10: ever conscious of what we're doing when it comes to technology,
Speaker 10: because we worry about social media taking recording us. But
Speaker 10: that's the out that's the stuff that we're not aware of.
Speaker 2: That's it. Do you wrote your article a tragic no?
Speaker 10: No, no, no, no, no no, it's all legitimate, all legitimate.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, we'll take you on face value,
Speaker 2: David Alian. Good to see you. Have a nice weekend.
Speaker 2: We'll see you next week. Thanks for joining me. Coming
Speaker 2: up after the break. This week mark's two years since
Speaker 2: Australians overwhelmingly rejected the divisive voice I'll speak with leading
Speaker 2: no campaign senator just into NEAPERGI for price next Co'm back. Well.
Speaker 2: This week mark two years since we were all dragged
Speaker 2: to the polls and the Voice referendum and blew four
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars of our own money to
Speaker 2: do it. Sixty percent of us said no to Anthony
Speaker 2: Arberesi's attempts to divide us by the color of our skin.
Speaker 2: One of the leading figures for the No campaign, just
Speaker 2: into nampajimper Price, has written in The Australian this week.
Speaker 2: Despite Australians voting no to the Voice Treaty and truth telling,
Speaker 2: certain labor governments and leaders still won't take no for
Speaker 2: an answer and are pressing ahead with such goals. And
Speaker 2: she's not wrong. Overnight Victoria's Lower House passed the First
Speaker 2: Nation's Treaty Bill with the support of Labor and the Greens.
Speaker 2: And I'm pleased to say that Liberal Senator just Sinta
Speaker 2: Nampa jimper Price joins me. Now, Senator, good to see you,
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time. Let's start with the Voice anniversary.
Speaker 2: What are your reflections two years on? Have we learned
Speaker 2: anything from it?
Speaker 13: Well, certainly, I suppose those of us who voted no,
Speaker 13: the sixty point zero six percent of Australians that rejected
Speaker 13: the Voice, they basically ensured that we maintained our values
Speaker 13: and our democracy. We understand that the labor government, the
Speaker 13: Albanezer government, still doesn't know how to deal effectively with
Speaker 13: Indigenous disadvantage.
Speaker 7: But we also know.
Speaker 13: That labor governments around the country do not respect the
Speaker 13: will of the Australian people as well.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the voice.
Speaker 13: It wasn't a gracious request as was suggested, or a
Speaker 13: modest request as the Prime Minister suggested.
Speaker 7: It was far from that. It was racially divisive, and
Speaker 7: it would have.
Speaker 13: Made radical changes to our democracy as we know it,
Speaker 13: and it would have. It was ultimately about empowering activists more.
Speaker 7: Than anything else.
Speaker 13: It wasn't about addressing disadvantage for Indigenous those who are
Speaker 13: disadvantaged Indigenous Australians. And let's not forget that the Prime Minister,
Speaker 13: in all his arrogance, failed to listen to the warnings
Speaker 13: throughout the referendum, in that he didn't hold a constitutional convention.
Speaker 13: He failed to address the concept of having two questions,
Speaker 13: having a split referendum about recognition constitutional recognition.
Speaker 7: And perhaps the voice as well.
Speaker 13: And he called Australians who were concerned chicken littles and
Speaker 13: doomsayers when he failed to provide enough information or any
Speaker 13: detail to their voice, and then Australians were left to
Speaker 13: then say, well, this is what it could potentially lead to,
Speaker 13: which is what we know. So I suppose on reflection, yeah, no,
Speaker 13: we've seen that Labour's agenda and even the Greens and
Speaker 13: the Left disregard the voice of the Australian people and
Speaker 13: are continuing down a path of separatism without addressing the
Speaker 13: core issues that are really of concern.
Speaker 2: And look that division has not ended, as I mentioned,
Speaker 2: you know, Victim is pushing ahead with treaty. It just
Speaker 2: feels set at a like the progressive left, that they're
Speaker 2: ultimately seeking to tear down the values and traditions of
Speaker 2: this beautiful country with the end goal of destroying everything
Speaker 2: that British settlers brought here. And that's the point that
Speaker 2: you also made in your column.
Speaker 7: That's exactly right.
Speaker 13: I mean, it's an attack on our western values, on
Speaker 13: how we were I suppose settled.
Speaker 7: As a country as well.
Speaker 13: I mean, fifty four percent of Victorians voted no to
Speaker 13: the Voice, and here the Allen Government's going, well, stuff you,
Speaker 13: we don't care that you said no to this.
Speaker 7: We're going to continue down the path.
Speaker 13: And I mean when we voted no to the Voice,
Speaker 13: we know that it was wrapped up as part of
Speaker 13: the ullaru's statement, which was Voice Treaty Truth. So the
Speaker 13: Allen government have said, well, we're going to establish our
Speaker 13: own legislative concept of a voice anyway through this treaty.
Speaker 13: And let's not forget that only one percent Victorians identify
Speaker 13: as indigenous. They spent seven hundred million dollars of taxpayer
Speaker 13: dollars thus far through the europe Commission to get to
Speaker 13: get to this point, and effectively what they will be
Speaker 13: doing is establishing governing another governing body of a Victorians,
Speaker 13: you know, through the First Nation's Assembly, and this truth telling,
Speaker 13: this idea they call it truth telling because really, if
Speaker 13: you're chuck it in reverse, it's not really about telling
Speaker 13: the truth. It's a reinvention of our history or how
Speaker 13: they'd like to see it in order to you know,
Speaker 13: ask for well demand reparations by what other Victorians who
Speaker 13: were non indigenous, who had nothing to do with with
Speaker 13: our country's history. But it's this path of separatism that
Speaker 13: is only going to create more destruction for the people
Speaker 13: of Victoria and the complete Nutter disrespect for the majority
Speaker 13: who voted no to the voice referendum in the first place.
Speaker 13: I mean, hold your horse's Victoria. It's coming and it's
Speaker 13: not going to be pretty.
Speaker 2: No, it's not. And it's dangerous because nobody ever voted
Speaker 2: to be separated by the color of their skin. But
Speaker 2: these governments are still pushing your head. Before we let
Speaker 2: you go, Senator, I just want to ask you about
Speaker 2: some breaking news that we've just got in The Sydney
Speaker 2: Morning Herald is reporting that Barnaby Joyce is in advanced
Speaker 2: talks with Pauline Hansen to join One Nation. What do
Speaker 2: you make of these reports I've just been announced now.
Speaker 7: Well Sydney Morning Harold.
Speaker 13: I bet it's paul Sirkarle who has gone ahead and
Speaker 13: announced this. And what I find with the Sydney Morning
Speaker 13: Herald is that they like to make things up. I
Speaker 13: mean they did so, I know when it came to
Speaker 13: talking about the leaked information about our election review through
Speaker 13: the Liberal Party. I know that they like to put
Speaker 13: out what they think is going on. I suppose I'd
Speaker 13: prefer to wait and see. You know, I'm a good
Speaker 13: maid of Barnaby's as well, wait and see what's real
Speaker 13: and what's not and what's just another attempt at the
Speaker 13: Sydney Morning Herald to blow things up and keep this
Speaker 13: chatter and division going on with regard to the coalition.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I guess we'll find out so that
Speaker 2: it was Paul's Sakala that did write that article, So
Speaker 2: wait and see it and hopefully you have planted Barnaby
Speaker 2: Joyce does give us some clarifications soon, Senator just sin
Speaker 2: nampajmper Price. Always nice to chat with you. Thanks very
Speaker 2: much for joining me on the show. Now, look, this
Speaker 2: is truly extraordinary. British police have banned Jewish fans from
Speaker 2: a Europa League match in Birmingham next month for their
Speaker 2: own safety. Apparently, the Aston Villa against Maccabi tel Aviv
Speaker 2: on November six is said to be played at Villa
Speaker 2: Park without any away fans of the Israeli club at
Speaker 2: the game. Now, look, if you can't protect football fans
Speaker 2: from enjoying a national sport just because they're Jews, we'll
Speaker 2: gie something must be seriously wrong. Joining me now is
Speaker 2: Reform UK Counselor Darren Grimes. Darren, thanks for your time.
Speaker 2: What sort of two tier policing is this?
Speaker 14: Soolutely right, Danika. Look, ultimately, this is a football club
Speaker 14: in nineteen thirty eight that refused to do the Nazi
Speaker 14: salute and made international headlines for doing so, a football
Speaker 14: club that stood up to fascists and Nazis. Now it's
Speaker 14: taking the knee to is that Islamist fascists and Islamist Nazis.
Speaker 14: In my view, as you rightly say, this is our
Speaker 14: national sport. If Jews can't be protected from going to
Speaker 14: a game to enjoy watching our national sport take place
Speaker 14: for safety reasons, then Britain is on bended knee. This
Speaker 14: isn't policing, this is surrender.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 14: Football is meant to actually unite not just the country
Speaker 14: but other parts of the world too, and instead we've
Speaker 14: got police saying that Jewish fans couldn't be safe in Birmingham.
Speaker 14: Now this ought to tell us absolutely everything about where
Speaker 14: Britain is at as a country. When Birmingham, which is
Speaker 14: our second biggest city, isn't actually safe for Jews, it's
Speaker 14: a complete moral collapse and I'm afraid that the police
Speaker 14: will ultimately protect illegal migrants from protesters in pink vests.
Speaker 14: There were ladies called the Pink Ladies Danika, who were
Speaker 14: protesting in favor of the protection of women and girls.
Speaker 14: They were told they couldn't protest. But they will actually
Speaker 14: stand in to protect the illegal migrants from these oppressive
Speaker 14: pink ladies, but they won't protect Jews at a football match.
Speaker 14: It is two tier. It is actually one rule for
Speaker 14: those who break into our country and completely another for
Speaker 14: those who actually have been here for goodness only knows
Speaker 14: how long and.
Speaker 2: Help to build it.
Speaker 14: So ultimately, I think it's a sign of the sickness
Speaker 14: that is running riot in Britain. And you don't beat
Speaker 14: anti Semitists and by bannon Jews. You beat it by
Speaker 14: actually standing up to the biggots and protecting them.
Speaker 2: Spot on exactly. This is a national sport we're talking
Speaker 2: about to say the Jews don't come for your own safeties.
Speaker 2: And I'm in on flabbergacid to be quite honest, Darren,
Speaker 2: I think it's extraordinary. Now, Look, I want to ask
Speaker 2: you about the latest polling reform UK has really been
Speaker 2: accelerating in recent months. According to the latest MRP pole
Speaker 2: reforms on track to win four hundred and forty five
Speaker 2: seats labored down to seventy three MPs if an election
Speaker 2: were held tomorrow. But do you have a look at
Speaker 2: the toy is just seven Darren? Why is reform capturing
Speaker 2: the mood of the British public so well? What does
Speaker 2: it tell us?
Speaker 1: Look?
Speaker 14: I actually think Danika that they ought to go to
Speaker 14: the very heart of the problem with the Liberals in
Speaker 14: Australia as well. We have been betrayed on everything from
Speaker 14: net zra or whackery and walkery to mass migration. This
Speaker 14: pole isn't just showing a movement within political Voughton, it
Speaker 14: actually shows a protest. It shows a movement people are
Speaker 14: fed up by being talked down to by politicians who
Speaker 14: sneer at patriot the flying of our national flag. The
Speaker 14: Tories tax us to death. Labor looks down its gnos
Speaker 14: at us and sneers at the fact that we actually
Speaker 14: believe that Britain is full and Reform speaks for the
Speaker 14: millions who just want control of their country again. They
Speaker 14: want some semblance of control over their own lives again.
Speaker 14: Nigel Farage has given ordinary people a voice for the
Speaker 14: first time in many, many years. And you're talking, you know,
Speaker 14: from Durham up in the north to Devon down in
Speaker 14: the southwest. People are saying enough to open borders to
Speaker 14: the net zero madness, being absolutely terrified at the highest
Speaker 14: electricity prices in the world. It's a cowardice of the
Speaker 14: political elite. This isn't just one pole either, This is
Speaker 14: a series of polls showing this and the direction of
Speaker 14: travel shows that Reform are the only game in town
Speaker 14: to actually defeat this sham of a labor government to
Speaker 14: the very worst in LIBVN memory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, you're not wrong and you know this is
Speaker 2: the problem and we're having the same issues here in Australia.
Speaker 2: Well done to Reform and you're a part of it
Speaker 2: over there, Darren, doing such a great job. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for joining me on the show. Really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We're coming up after the break the winners and losers
Speaker 2: of the week, including Donald Trump and he's never ending handshakes.
Speaker 2: Plus will pay tribute to Ace Freeley, founding member and
Speaker 2: lead guitarists of rock band Kiss, who's died overnight. It's
Speaker 2: that time of the week where we sought the winners
Speaker 2: from the losers, and helping me to do that is
Speaker 2: Skuydy's contributed to James. James, great to have you back
Speaker 2: on the show. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 2: Your winner. This week's Donald Trump.
Speaker 11: Well, it's more the art of the handshake, to be honest.
Speaker 15: So in this Gaza P summer, Well, let's take it back.
Speaker 15: Let's take it back to twenty seventeen. So Donald Trump
Speaker 15: and Emmanuel mccrin have such an interesting relationship with handshakes.
Speaker 15: You can see this from way back when this is
Speaker 15: now a nine second handshake going longer.
Speaker 11: No one's letting go. Everyone wants to be the alpha
Speaker 11: dog with the relationship.
Speaker 15: Fifteen seconds, no sign of side grass. Trump is trying
Speaker 15: to bring other people into the mix. The handshake is
Speaker 15: still going on.
Speaker 2: God cringe.
Speaker 11: So look this continues.
Speaker 15: On like we're about to reach the thirty second mark.
Speaker 11: Are we going to get there?
Speaker 1: Of course?
Speaker 15: Seconds of pure handshake. Now, this is what happened this week. Okay,
Speaker 15: you think these two guys have been locked in battle
Speaker 15: for years on the handshake? How long are we going
Speaker 15: to last year? So we've got the handshake, we've got
Speaker 15: the smile, the handshakes still going. We're now in the grip.
Speaker 15: We're now in the grip. We're looking at each other.
Speaker 15: Grips on my side, No, it's on my side.
Speaker 2: It's intent.
Speaker 15: I'm going to point at things.
Speaker 2: We're still going what are they talking about? Do you reckon?
Speaker 11: I don't think. I think they're so pursed.
Speaker 15: I think they're so focused on what they need to
Speaker 15: do that they actually can't think.
Speaker 11: They can only think in terms of handshake.
Speaker 2: Their handshakes the alpha male. Well, that's extraordinary. My hand
Speaker 2: would get sweaty. I feel like it would fall off
Speaker 2: at this point. But you know the art of a deal,
Speaker 2: that's the thing, you know. Anyway, Look, I'm going to
Speaker 2: get to my winner this week, Ace Freely.
Speaker 15: You're found a Kiss not the biggest fan, to be honest,
Speaker 15: it's not my genre, but well I'm sure our.
Speaker 2: Audience would know. He's a founding member, of course, lead
Speaker 2: guitarist of rock band Kiss, and he's sadly passed away
Speaker 2: at the age of seventy four following a brain bleed,
Speaker 2: so I wanted to do a quick tribute to him.
Speaker 2: He was, of course the Spaceman, the iconic silver metallic
Speaker 2: face makeup have a look. Yeah, So rest in peace,
Speaker 2: Ace Freely. You know, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, they were
Speaker 2: the main songwriters, but his guitar work was magnificent in
Speaker 2: the background. Now, your loser of the week is a
Speaker 2: dad having a winge about Halloween. It did.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he's having a winch about Halloween. He has put
Speaker 15: together a change dot org petition to get kmart to
Speaker 15: stop putting Halloween decorations so close to the checkout cashier
Speaker 15: because it says it scares people. Now, look, this is
Speaker 15: an example. It's not the store. It's an example of
Speaker 15: what people go through. Come on, let's have a bit
Speaker 15: of fine a tale.
Speaker 2: It's Halloween, Okay, it's meant to be scary. If you're scared,
Speaker 2: don't go to Kmart. I say, ridiculous. Might Louder this
Speaker 2: week had to give to form a WA premier Mark McGowan.
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of Mark McGowan. Never have been
Speaker 2: locked me out of the West for a couple of
Speaker 2: years during COVID, So no surprises here, but he said
Speaker 2: James at one of his political highlights was locking football
Speaker 2: commentator Nie McGuire out during COVID when WA hosted the
Speaker 2: AFL Grand Final. Apparently it was a highlight of his career.
Speaker 2: He told her a property function this week, I mean,
Speaker 2: there can't have been many highlights if that was a highlight.
Speaker 11: Yeah, why is your highlight bullying someone?
