WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 27 November 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:07.120 From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray live speak Shun. 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:08.760 I'm looking forward to it. Thank you so much for 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.120 watching us this Wednesday night problem with Vishop Stephen Conroy 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.320 in a couple of minutes time. Remember you sent me 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.960 and mlpots Gonews dot com. Do you now you've heard 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:18.640 today what happened in the Senate? But can I just 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.079 have my say on it? What a bunch of sooks 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.920 Fatima Payman was and Lydia Thorpe as well. If for 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.160 whatever reason this is the first time you're hearing about it, 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.919 let me see you the fast version. Fatima Payman has 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.080 dual citizenship. She has duel citizenship to Australia, a country 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.040 that she came to as a refugee in Afghanistan, the 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.400 country of which she left and therefore became a refugee. 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.879 She cannot renounce her citizenship from Afghanistan because the Taliban 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.320 won't let her. But of course if you have dual 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.640 citizenship in Australia, then that means you can't be part 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.960 of our parliament. People like Jackie Lamby learnt this lesson. 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.200 Remember she had to leave the parliament before being re 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:04.120 elected to the parliament and in every single time there 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.040 has been a by election, either the candidate who was 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.760 booted out for this technicality won their place back or 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.039 the party that they represented won their place back. So 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:17.160 Australians do not believe that it is an ultimate disqualifier. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.760 But the law is clear that if you have dual citizenship, 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:25.320 you can't serve in the parliament. Fatima Payment is able 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.320 to serve in the Parliament because no one is willing 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.200 to put her to the test that other dual citizens 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.840 have had to go through. Now, none of that is 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.880 an allegation. All of that is fact, and all of 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.720 that is by her own admission. Well, today in the 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:46.000 Parliament there was an attempt by Pauline Hansen to refer 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.440 this to the relevant authorities to trigger the potential and 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.880 seemingly obvious removal of Fatima Payment from the Parliament. Now, 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.800 of course she has her own political party. Now what 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.320 is the Australian's Voice or whatever garbage that is. She 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.960 thinks that she'll be able to get people elected to 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.960 the next election, or she'll be able to get a 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.960 run up of what five and a bit years until 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.280 she's actually up for grabs. But remember it's not Pauline 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.560 Hanson who started this story. It was the Labor Party, 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.400 because the Labor Party knew that this was a scenario 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:23.639 where Fatima Payman had dual citizenship. But remember she was 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.360 sitting so low on the Labor ticket in Western Australia, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.720 no one thought she'd win. But because the Labor Party 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.000 did particularly well in Western Australia, she came along for 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.239 the ride because she was part of the governing party. 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.280 Nobody was going to rock the boat. And then of 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.480 course she jumped out of the boat and Labor itself 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:45.040 started talking about going after her on this subject. So 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.440 again today in Parliament there was an attempt to do 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.320 what apparently the Labor Party knew when it came to 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.920 this senator and her status about whether she can or 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.919 can't be in the Parliament. Let's start with Pauline Hanson 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.040 trying to take this to the next level, the. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.560 Urgent investigation in the Senate payment's eligibility to sit in 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.120 this Parliament under Section forty four. Australians deserve to know 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.240 that every member of this Chamber is eligible under the Constitution, 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:17.120 no exceptions. Senator payment situation through Uchair raises serious concerns 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.240 if she had been elected during the citizenship crisis of 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.200 twenty sixteen seventeen, there is no doubt her case would 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:24.440 have been referred to the High. 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:25.200 Court to review. 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.880 So all of this makes sense now, right in fatim 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.800 a payment claims I can't get out of this situation 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.960 because the Taliban won't let me out of this situation. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:39.440 But her response today and that of Lydia Thorpe, was ridiculous. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.720 They turned this stuff up to eleven and then try 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.680 to get it to twelve and even thirteen if they 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:49.800 possibly could. How's this for a ridiculous response to the 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.600 matter that was being raised. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:58.520 The fact that you would say, just weeks ago to Senator. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:05.920 Perouki to Pakistan, you're not just vindictive, mean nasty, you 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:12.760 bring disgrace to the human race. Really, honestly, you're a 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.960 disgrace to the human race because somebody is saying you 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.800 should be held to the same standard as every other 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.000 person in the Senate and every other person in the 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:25.120 lower House. Now, this clearly is a new type of 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.680 politics that particularly the identitarians love to play, which is 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.720 as soon as you hold them to the standard of 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.560 everybody else, that's when you're a racist. That's when you're sexist, 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.320 that's when you're a homophobe. Now again, she had every 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.680 right to stand there and say, look, I'd love to 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.600 be able to fix this situation. Clearly I love this country. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.839 But if the Taliban won't let me off the hook, sorry, 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.920 that's it. Then you sit down, that's it. But instead 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.320 trying to create a moment to distract from the central 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:59.600 issue that she herself has admitted is the problem, it 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:05.400 doesn't work. And also, these identitarian politics politicians need to 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:10.039 understand that the vast majority of the country does not 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:15.320 share their hyperbolic views about race, about sex, about gender, 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.760 and about faith. We deal with people based off their 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.599 first name and their character, not from where they come 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.720 or what they look like. No matter how many times 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.960 when these people are being held to the same standards 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.960 as everybody else, they claim what the motivation is behind 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.960 somebody saying that they should be held to the same standards. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.000 You see, this has always got under my skin as 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.840 a person who has used words for a living and 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.560 given an opinion passionately for a long time. Now, I 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.240 absolutely realize that when I say something, somebody can say 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.400 something back just as passionately. But you do not get 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.839 the opportunity to tell me what was in my head 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.440 when I was thinking about what I was going to say. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.680 What I said is what I said. What you think 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:10.760 it means? Is you making up motivation? The senator was 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.719 not done with a performance that shows herself not to 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:19.520 be emotionally mature enough to sit in our federal Parliament. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.480 Perhaps the very reason the Labor Party knew that this 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.520 was a person who could be on the ticket because 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.800 of her passion, could be on her ticket, perhaps because 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.400 of the story that she brings and so many bring 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.479 to this country. But perhaps they knew she wasn't ready 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.600 for prime time because she's a passionate person. Yes, in 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.599 her early twenties, but as we all know, the person 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.960 we were in our early twenties is a lot different 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.120 than what we would be by our mid thirties, forties, 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.840 fifties or even older. This is not an emotionally mature 0:06:52.920 --> 0:07:00.920 person reacting to a parliamentary procedure that is not racist. 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:01.560 What is it? 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.000 Oh it's not racist. Oh, somebody bring. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:12.360 The dictionary, because Santa Hanson does not know the definition 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.440 of racism. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.600 Again, the idea that because you say, hey, this person 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.440 who by their own admission has dual citizenship and therefore 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.760 potentially to be disqualified from being able to sit in 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.920 the Parliament, the same standard under which multiple members of 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.040 the Lower House and some members of the Senate had 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.200 to give up their careers or have their careers interrupted. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.000 Like Jackie Lamby. Nobody said it was racist when it 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.200 was applying to Jackie Lamby. Why is it racist because 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.760 it applies to Fatoma Payment. Now there's some danger in 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.800 me even saying what I am saying tonight, because unlike 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:53.920 Fatima Payment, unlike Jackie Lamby, unlike Lydia Thorpe, unlike Pauline Hanson, 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.080 I don't have parliamentary privilege where you can stand up 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:03.200 and say defamatory things like the senator said about Pauline Hansen, 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.920 things that if she had said in the public arena 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:11.560 there could be potential legal consequences. Now again, the door 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.840 is open if Fatima Payman would like to come into 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.400 the man Cave or our studio in Canberra and try 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.080 to explain what I clearly can't see here. But I 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.200 think what we all saw today was a ridiculous performance, 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.400 and that's what it was. It was this volcanic performance 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:33.079 of emotion and accusation that may well have worked at 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.200 the peak of the Twitter movement when it was called Twitter, 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.440 but in the world of x where we are in 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:44.960 twenty twenty four, this stuff just rings hollow. Of course, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.840 somebody very well practiced in all of this was Lydia Thorpe, 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.080 who decided, here's an opportunity for me to ring the 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.640 same damn bell that she does at any chance she gets. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:04.960 It's an absolute vile act against Senator Payment and I'll 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.720 have her back and any other black or brown woman 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:09.440 in this place. 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:15.880 What does that mean Jackie Lamby had to give it 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:22.600 up over dual citizenship. Fatima Payman is not defined by 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.880 her racial identity in this question. It's about the dual citizenship. Now, 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.319 maybe she will be able to convince an authority a 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.120 call to somebody else that look, I'd love to give 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.680 it up, but I can't give it up because the 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.760 country that needs me to give it up won't let 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.959 me give it up. Maybe that's a way, or maybe 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.120 the absolute technicality is I'm sorry. Even though that's the case, 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.120 you can't sit in the Parliament. But of course Lydia 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.000 wasn't done, and the media was there. Click click click film, film, film, 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:50.040 write it all down. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:10:00.240 Where's Hanson's legitimate claim to be in this country? Where'd 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.960 she come from? Who's her ancestors? So let's talk about 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.760 section forty four for the white people who came here on. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:16.440 Boats again, and I forget it, I'm talking about her, 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.600 which is what she wants, the woman who hates the 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.800 institution but loves getting paid by the institution, loves the 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.680 power of the institution, but hates everything about it. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.720 Who do these people think that they are convincing to 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:31.400 their cause? 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:31.520 Now? 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.600 Lydia Thorpe is a politician who has said that she 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.800 doesn't want to seek re election after the next federal election. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.720 She's here for at least another three years, and given 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.880 Senate timings, it might be slightly longer than that. But 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.240 because she won under the cover of the Greens and 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.640 then pretty obviously was ready to jump early, so she 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.439 could be this character for the next five years. This 0:10:55.480 --> 0:11:00.680 is the character that she's been, the supposed side of politics, 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.319 and this particular politician who allegedly wants to bring people together. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.240 But every chance she gets here, it is roll the 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.320 verbal grenade in and here we go again, over and 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.160 over and over again. Well, as the vote was taking 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:19.040 place to refer the senator. Now interestingly, Labor, who had 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:23.560 spoken in one way, seemed to vote another, but still 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:28.840 lydia Thorpe then takes the defeated motion and according to 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.679 the Guardian, I have to be very clear, I want 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:36.880 to quote their headline on this appearing to throw paper 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.439 at Pauline Hansen. Does that look like appearing or she 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:44.120 actually did it? And then of course the fingers up 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.960 as she leaves the chamber and now very cleverly, technically, 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.320 once you go past the door, that's not the chamber, 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.600 So she did it in the champion'd be different. The response, 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.439 of course, was that she is suspended, not allowed to 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.040 participate in the parliamentary debate, not allowed to vote, not 0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:59.959 allowed to step onto the floor for the rest of 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.760 the week, which is one more day, maybe two more days. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.440 But because things like the Misinformation Bill have disappeared, largely, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.199 everything that's going to happen and set in the Senate 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.640 for the next couple of days will go through on 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.120 bipartisan support. They don't need her vote. So that's when 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:17.080 Labor decided. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:18.439 You've gone too far. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.640 You've gone too far. By the way, could somebody Please 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.319 explain to me how an elected politician in this country 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.880 is able to say what Senator Thorpe said today in 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.280 Canberra without there being some sort of a consequence to 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.960 her ability to continue to sit inside our federal Parliament. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.559 They talk about harmony, they talk about reconciliation, they talk 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.600 about bringing this country together, yet they don't walk the talk. 0:12:52.160 --> 0:13:00.520 They allow racism to continue to hurt us and everybody 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.720 else in this country who is not white. What do 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:08.200 they want a civil war in this country? 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.360 Honestly, seriously, think about some of the characters that we've 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.640 had through the Upper House of recent years. What would 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.680 the collective response be of the canber Press gallery to 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.880 a politician saying civil war? Now, there's not going to 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:28.360 be one. There ain't going to be one because the 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:33.360 extreme majority of Australians again don't care from whence you 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.920 come and what you believe in. They deal with you 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.800 face to face. We all know someone from somewhere else 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:44.480 we are or someone from somewhere else, including Lydia Thorpe. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:51.400 The reality of what she's selling is ridiculous, But just 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.400 like payment, it all goes the way it does. Now 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.040 the Parliament has shown that it has the capacity to 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.640 turn around and say sorry, you do actually have to 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.000 have a certain series of minimum standards to be able 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.960 to turn up in the Parliament and to vote in 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.480 the parliament and to speak in the parliament. Now she's 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.679 an elected person, so she can't be booted out of 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.680 the parliament. But every time she does this stuff, why 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.240 is she not suspended by the Parliament for that sitting week. 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:20.760 I'm sure she'd loved to go off to a court 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.480 and work out whether they have the legal power to 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.680 do so at some point in time. But how is 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.080 our politics any better for somebody talking about civil war 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.640 or making accusations of racism when somebody says the rule 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.200 that says you can't have dual citizenship to sit in 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:42.280 the Parliament, which affected Jackie Lambey, may well apply to 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.800 the senator who, by her own admission, is in a 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.440 dual citizenship scenario, one she doesn't want to be in, 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.880 one she's trying to get out of. But still, remember 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:57.440 when Nick Xenophon went through this, nobody was screaming racism 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.720 when they were trying to do it to Josh Friedenberg 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.520 who saying racism, the reality is whether you like or 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.040 dislike and clearly the Australian people do not have a 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.560 problem with dual citizenship. Why because, as I said, everyone 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.760 who got booted out either came back or the party not. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.560 None of them lost seats, no one lost ground. But 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.960 because Fatima Payment made her decision to walk away from 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.359 the Labor Party and in my view, has no statistical 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.360 way of getting back into the Parliament, just like Lydia 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.720 Thorpe that somehow everything has to be treated differently. This 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:37.760 is outrageous, It is ridiculous, and I get it, evil 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.400 white man on television talking about it, but I don't care. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.400 We've got to see past this garbage. We're going to 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.760 call this stuff out. But you know what, the first sign, 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.720 the first sign of stepping away from this sort of 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:57.480 inflammatory garbage or rewarding this inflammatory garbage, is that if 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.840 the media wanted to, they could apply the same lack 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.120 of interest that they do to other members of the 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.920 Senate cross Bench. You don't see many interviews with Jerriet Reddick, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:15.640 do you. You don't see appearances on Insiders by Malcolm Roberts. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.160 You don't see much about Ralph Babbitt either, do you. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.840 Now these are all legitimately elected members of the cross 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.160 Bench who have the ability to vote whichever way they want, 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.680 but the media just pretends they don't exist, push them 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:36.080 to one side, no talkie talking about those people, but 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.920 the lady who talks about civil war gets profiled on 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:46.920 sixty minutes. I'm not even going to get involved in 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:48.800 double standards and all the rest of it. The media 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.240 make their choices, and I've got a feeling that many 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.440 of them make their choices because they disagree with the 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.360 three that I just showed you who they ignore, and 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:03.040 parts of them agree with some of the stronger parts 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:10.639 of Senator Thorpe and Senator Payments Mark. There was a 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.600 huge pole that dropped today and it tells us yet 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:19.000 another building block on a foundation of the potential removal 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.639 of Anthony Albernesi as our Prime Minister and Labor as 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.240 the government of the country. Now, every time I say this, 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.159 because I know there's plenty of people who are just 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.960 sitting there waiting, because I've said things like I just said, 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.960 just sitting waiting for the first technical mistake to run 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.359 off to the umpire. I don't think that it's going 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.360 to be a one term government because until I see 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.000 data about the teals the Liberal Party and National Party 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.600 most likely don't get near the seventy six seats required 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:49.879 to become a majority government but minority. Who knows but 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:55.359 three issues have absolutely buried Anthony Albernesi. They have since 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.639 almost day one. The bloke who promised to make everything better, 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:04.560 what cost of living on every possible count. The bloke 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.320 who says that he thinks about the little guy every 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.760 day we now has his hand out for an upgrade 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:16.639 when he's going on personal flights. And the bloke loves 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.440 spending other people's money, for example himself and every other 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.760 MP not one, not two, but three pay rises since 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.720 the last election, thirty thousand extra public servants, let alone 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.600 the new planes, and all the other money that's been 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.160 pittled up against the wall, including that referendum of four 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:35.359 hundred and fifty million dollars. Well at the heart of 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.520 federal elections, be they are in Australia, the UK, New Zealand, 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.280 or of course the United States, where this question became 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.720 crystallized all those years ago by Ronald Reagan in a 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.719 presidential debate, is are you better off this election than 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:54.080 you were at the last election? Pol drops today from Redbridge, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.199 asking the question of our Australians better off than they 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.600 were two and a half years ago, fifty seven percent 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.800 of people say no. The darker the red the stronger 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.399 the feeling. But you can see that fifty seven percent 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.720 of people say no, just thirty one percent, which is 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.000 about the labor primary, say they're better off than they 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.920 were since this government came to power. Have a look 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:16.520 at it. When it comes to the amount of money 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.080 that people earn. If you earn a thousand dollars or less, 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.480 sixty three percent of people say no. Two way, you're 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:26.439 better off since this bloke became Prime minister. People were 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.600 in between one and two thousand dollars a week, again, 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.400 sixty three percent no. People earning between two and three 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:37.480 thousand dollars a week fifty seven percent no. The only 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.280 people who seemingly support are those who are at the 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.640 absolute top end of the market, and of course they're 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.560 the ones who didn't get a taxcut. But anyway, Also, 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.600 if you want to slice this a different way, let's 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.639 just go through the old demographics of age, where you 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:55.240 can see that eighteen to sixty five plus all of them, 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.960 more people believe they are worse off than they were 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.119 when this government to power. The same for men and 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.000 the same for women, despite the fact that apparently the 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.880 Liberal Party has a problem with women. What about where 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.880 people live. It doesn't matter if you live in the cities, 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.639 in the suburbs, in a regional area or a rural area. 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.080 The extreme majority of people believe they are not better 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.480 off than they were since this government came to power. 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.639 These are the building blocks of a shocker on an 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.080 election night, one that the press gallery will say doesn't exist. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.000 But they said that about Harris and the Democrats. But 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.720 apparently the smart heads in the Labour Party, so don't worry. 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.520 None that applies to us is the government focused on 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:41.119 the right priorities. No one supports that proposition. In fact, 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:46.119 your age, your gender, or all voters believe that the 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.560 government is not focused on the right priorities. In fact, 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.280 just thirty percent of all voters say that the government 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.520 is focused on the right priorities. Thirty one percent of 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.440 eighteen to thirty four year olds, twenty nine and twenty seven, 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.760 between thirty five and sixty four, thirty percent of people 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:07.480 over the age of sixty five. But of course everything 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.040 doesn't matter again to the next federal election because Uga Booger, 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.880 black and white music, cut cut, cut, cut cut, Spooky, Spooky, 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:14.280 Peter Dutton's coming. 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:19.760 Peedy Dutt, Peter Dutte, Peda Dutton And they've got the 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.560 dirt unit ready to find all of the information that 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:27.720 everyone who's tried to find stuff on Dutton internally inside 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:29.639 the Liberal Party are outside for years, has never been 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:30.480 able to turn it over. 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.600 But no, no, no, the Prime Minister's dirt Unit's going to 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:37.040 find it. Well, are you sitting down, because according to 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:43.320 this poll, when people were asked is Dutton ready for government? 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:50.320 More people said yes than no, More men say yes 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:54.199 than women who say no, but almost fifty to fifty 0:21:54.480 --> 0:22:00.880 on women. People who's qualification was leaving BEFO year twelve, 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.560 they believe that Dutton would be there by seventeen points. 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.120 People who got to year twelve either at school or 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:13.159 after school, getting that equip getting that qualification. He's up 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.280 by three The only people who don't like any university 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:20.000 degree people, and even then at single digits. So good 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.760 luck Albo with your dirt unit. Good luck pouring sugar 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.480 into the year at the press gallery who love the 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:29.000 whole new arrangements they currently have, how many people. How 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:32.640 many ways can you cut that we're worse off than 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.639 we were when this bloke became the Prime minister. This 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:40.359 guy's priorities are wrong and people are now seeing not 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:44.680 just an opposition but an alternative government. Those three strikes 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:49.879 mean generally you're out. As we know, bloody hot in 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.320 parts of the country, particular focus in and around Sydney 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.640 over the past couple of days. Apparently it'll get better 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:57.879 bit of rain into the future here. But yet another 0:22:58.000 --> 0:22:59.760 day where we are a quarter of the way into 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:02.119 the two twenty first century and the leader of the 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:06.320 most populous state in the country is talking to us 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.160 as if we're in the middle of a war. Have 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:10.880 a listen to this. 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:15.920 The government's asking individual households and businesses to, wherever possible, 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:22.720 wherever it's safe, consider not using energy intensive appliances between 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:26.160 the hours of three pm and eight pm this afternoon. 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:29.440 The reason for that is that solar production in the 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:32.760 energy market starts to come off from three pm at 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.120 exactly the same time as people return home from work. 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.800 So if you can not run your pool filter, not 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.920 run your dishwasher, not run your washing machine this afternoon 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.320 between three and eight you'll help the grid. 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:49.080 My answer is bugger all that you get charged either way. 0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:53.080 The Energy Minister similarly speaking to you as if we're 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:54.679 in the middle of the blitz and we're trying to 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:59.679 conserve energy. Of course it is not wartime. It is 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:01.800 a order the way into the twenty first century, and 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:05.679 governments are both persuasions in every state have made a bet, 0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.320 and one that results in them having to say this 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.679
