Speaker 1: Why on Skyins Australia. This is de Nika de Georgio.
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to the show. Coming up tonight. Anthony
Speaker 2: Albinezi issues his strongest condemnation of Israel to date, saying
Speaker 2: its actions cannot be defended or ignored. What about the
Speaker 2: actions of Hummas Labour's green hydrogen and energy plans are
Speaker 2: off the rails yet Chris Bowen remains in denial, saying
Speaker 2: everything is going swimmingly and I'll speak with just Into
Speaker 2: Nampajimpa Price about the fiery clash in the Senate over
Speaker 2: Welcome to country, but first tonight. The relationship between Australia
Speaker 2: and Israel has hit its lowest level since the Middle
Speaker 2: East Crisis began. The Prime Minister has released his strongest
Speaker 2: statement to date condemning Israel and actually had the nerve
Speaker 2: to dictate how the Jewish state should be defending itself
Speaker 2: against barbaric terrorists. He says, the situation in Gaza has
Speaker 2: gone beyond the world world's worst fears. This conflict has
Speaker 2: stolen far too many innocent lives. Tens of thousands of
Speaker 2: civilians are dead, children are starving. Gaza is in the
Speaker 2: grip of a humanitarian catastrophe and Israel's denial of aid
Speaker 2: and the killing of civilians, including children, seeking to access
Speaker 2: water and food, cannot be defended or ignored. Now, this
Speaker 2: is the sort of commentary on the world stage that
Speaker 2: would embolden humus. And isn't it fascinating that it was
Speaker 2: only last week the Prime Minister was whining and dining
Speaker 2: in China, a communist regime that has intimidated US militarily
Speaker 2: and economically, has committed human rights abuses, and is cozying
Speaker 2: up to the dictators of Russia and Iran, and not
Speaker 2: a peep from Anthony Alberizi on any of it. He
Speaker 2: seems to only find his voice when it's convenient, and
Speaker 2: yet is all too happy to alienate our allies. The
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister also reiterated the PM's call.
Speaker 3: The situation in Gaza is beyond the world's worst fears,
Speaker 3: and children are starving, civilians are dying. What is occurring
Speaker 3: in Gaza in relation to the lack of aid and
Speaker 3: children and the deaths of civilians seeking to gain aid
Speaker 3: is indefensible.
Speaker 2: Now, let's be very clear, Israel is fighting for its existence.
Speaker 2: It's fighting a war on multiple fronts against Hamas, the hooties,
Speaker 2: hesbla a ran. It's fighting a war it did not start,
Speaker 2: and a war which could end tomorrow if Hermus just
Speaker 2: release the hostages. It's not done that. In fact, her
Speaker 2: Mus even today refused a new cease fire deal by
Speaker 2: Israel and the United States. President Donald Trump's Special envoy,
Speaker 2: Stephen Whitkoff, says that Harmas's latest response shows a lack
Speaker 2: of desire to reach a truce. He says, while the
Speaker 2: mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear
Speaker 2: to be coordinated or acting in good faith. We will
Speaker 2: now consider alternative options to bring the hostages home and
Speaker 2: try to create a more stable environment for the people
Speaker 2: of Gaza. He said, it was a shame that Hermas
Speaker 2: has acted in this selfish way, and yet our prime
Speaker 2: minister is blaming Israel, saying we call on Israel to
Speaker 2: comply immediately with its obligations under international law. He wants
Speaker 2: Israel to comply. What about calling for Hermas to comply
Speaker 2: with international law. Hamas is seeking to wipe out Israel.
Speaker 2: It's still holding fifty hostages and who knows how many
Speaker 2: of those are dead or alive, and Albo wants Israel
Speaker 2: to comply. I mean, the PM is pandering so far
Speaker 2: to the left of his party. His moral outrage is
Speaker 2: so entirely misplaced. Her Mus has killed its own Palestinian
Speaker 2: aid workers in Gaza, It's taking control of food trucks
Speaker 2: and has used Palestinians as human shields, all the while Israel,
Speaker 2: along with the US, launched the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to
Speaker 2: get aid to the Gaza strip. Her Muss is the issue,
Speaker 2: it always has been. And what is the terror group doing?
Speaker 2: What's its subjective? Well, it's taking the aid to fund
Speaker 2: its own terror activities, turning the lives of innocent people
Speaker 2: into a profit making machine. Even as Israel fights for
Speaker 2: its survival on every front, Anthony Alberinezi and Labor again
Speaker 2: seek to demonize it, and much of the media agree,
Speaker 2: constantly distorting the issue and painting Israel as the enemy.
Speaker 2: Labour's dwindling support of israel I fear has now gone,
Speaker 2: as of today, beyond the point of no return. I mean,
Speaker 2: this government has sunk Solow. Just this week it joined
Speaker 2: twenty eight countries condemning Israel and calling for an end
Speaker 2: to the war. And this was a statement which was
Speaker 2: welcomed by Hamas. Anthony Albanesi still has not visited Israel yet,
Speaker 2: He's had the time to jet set around the world
Speaker 2: and to China. When the Foreign Minister went to Israel,
Speaker 2: she refused to watch the footage of the Harmas massacre.
Speaker 2: And yet Anthony Abernezi wants Israel to comply. I mean,
Speaker 2: Israel is not at war for the sake of it.
Speaker 2: It's not like it's having a good time in the process.
Speaker 2: He didn't ask for this war. There are fifty hostages
Speaker 2: still being held by that same terror group that murdered
Speaker 2: twelve hundred Jews and raped and tortured women. All Israel
Speaker 2: wants is its people back from the hands of butchers,
Speaker 2: and all Albo cares about is compliance. While we've been
Speaker 2: told time and time again that green hydrogen is the
Speaker 2: way to get to net zero and that Australia would
Speaker 2: be a key player in the resource despite billions of
Speaker 2: dollars of investment, Labour's green hydrogen and energy plans a
Speaker 2: surprise surprise off the rails yet again. I mean, how
Speaker 2: much of our money is being wasted on a source
Speaker 2: which has been an absolute bust up already here in
Speaker 2: Australia and around the world. Green hydrogen is expensive, it
Speaker 2: requires so much energy generation and is unevenly regulated. And
Speaker 2: now we see another nail in the coffin. Today BP
Speaker 2: has pulled the pin on the Australian Renewable Energy Hub
Speaker 2: in WA's Pilbra region, just two years after acquiring a
Speaker 2: forty point five percent stake. Now this is massive and
Speaker 2: perhaps reality is finally setting in because this project would
Speaker 2: have ranked among the largest energy projects globally. But it
Speaker 2: is decision. BP says the hub no longer aligns with
Speaker 2: its strategy. Also this week, Andrew Forres Fortescue pulled the
Speaker 2: pin on two of its most hyped green hydrogen projects.
Speaker 2: One was a one hundred and forty two million dollar
Speaker 2: plant in Gladston in Queensland. The other a nine hundred
Speaker 2: million dollar hydrogen project in the US state of Arizona,
Speaker 2: which Twiggy is now conveniently blaming on Donald Trump's policies.
Speaker 2: I mean, really, don't forget Donald Trump said, drill, baby, drill.
Speaker 2: You can't blame him for an energy source which is
Speaker 2: not economically viable. But this just points to another complete
Speaker 2: misinvestment by labor And now it's begging Twiggy for a refund.
Speaker 2: According to The Australian, Labor has made it clear to
Speaker 2: Andrew Forrest that it expects to get back the taxpayer
Speaker 2: funds used for its now failed projects look terrific. Of course,
Speaker 2: we should absolutely be getting our money back, but we're
Speaker 2: begging for mercy or was this part of the contract
Speaker 2: gonociations by Labor from the beginning that we would indeed
Speaker 2: get a refund if the project failed to get up
Speaker 2: off the ground. There's so many unanswered questions and the
Speaker 2: reality is the best way to make green hydrogen right
Speaker 2: now is from gas. You know, that evil energy source
Speaker 2: that Chris Bowen has spent the past three years demonizing
Speaker 2: until he's recent come to Jesus moment for a gas
Speaker 2: reservation reserve on the East Coast. Yet the Minister in
Speaker 2: charge thinks that everything is just going so swimmingly.
Speaker 4: Chris Bowen, letzt with the big picture.
Speaker 2: How is the clean energy transition going? In your view?
Speaker 4: I think it's going well. We can always do more
Speaker 4: and there's always more effort needed, and the job is
Speaker 4: far from done. But when you consider what we've achieved
Speaker 4: over the first three years, I would say pleased, but
Speaker 4: not yet satisfied.
Speaker 2: It's going well. Seriously, I have a completely lost count
Speaker 2: of the amount of green energy projects which have either
Speaker 2: been scrapped or delayed around the country in recent months.
Speaker 2: We've got farmers who are suffering as their pristine land
Speaker 2: is being carved up under the net zero fantasy. In Victoria,
Speaker 2: Justin to Allen has proposed a bill to allow transmission
Speaker 2: workers onto private property and fine owners who refuse more
Speaker 2: than twelve thousand dollars. Also that solar and wind generation
Speaker 2: can be connected to the grid. I mean, we need
Speaker 2: ten thousand kilometers of high voltage transmission lines as part
Speaker 2: of Labour's renewables transition, but the project is so far
Speaker 2: behind only half of it will be delivered in the
Speaker 2: next decade. And when it comes to green hydrogen, Labor
Speaker 2: is investing billions with no return on investment. The nation's
Speaker 2: largest hydrogen project in Queensland, worth twelve point five billion,
Speaker 2: collapse last month. A plant in South Australia was scrapped
Speaker 2: earlier this year. It follows a lack of progress in
Speaker 2: a near one hundred billion dollar pipeline of proposals in
Speaker 2: the hydrogen sector being championed by Labor. So once again,
Speaker 2: we're going broken backwards, yet apparently the Minister will tell
Speaker 2: you it's all going so well. All right, let's move
Speaker 2: on now to those extraordinary scenes in the Senate yesterday
Speaker 2: when Michalia Cash gave Penny Wong an almighty spray in
Speaker 2: defense of just sent to Nampaginper Price, after the Senator
Speaker 2: spoke out about welcome to Country ceremonies. This is how
Speaker 2: it went down.
Speaker 5: I am absolutely done with the virtue signaling that takes place.
Speaker 5: I am of the belief that it is not necessary
Speaker 5: to have an acknowledgment because we are all Australians.
Speaker 6: Decency and respect cost us nothing, but it goes a
Speaker 6: long way to building a sense of unity. I would
Speaker 6: hope that it would be that the opposition would reflect
Speaker 6: on the words of their own leader in relation to
Speaker 6: welcomes to country.
Speaker 2: I will stand by and respect Senator just sent to
Speaker 2: Nampa jimper Price, who every day has lived and breathed
Speaker 2: reconciliation in this country. Her father is white, her mother
Speaker 2: is black.
Speaker 3: So please don't ever come into this place again and
Speaker 3: pontificate to us.
Speaker 2: And just sent to Nampa jimper Price, the Shadow Minister
Speaker 2: for Defense Industry joins me now from Darwin, So that
Speaker 2: to really appreciate your time. Look, that was a real
Speaker 2: impassioned defense yesterday by your colleague. How do you feel
Speaker 2: about it? I was blown away.
Speaker 5: I just felt very honored that, you know, our leader
Speaker 5: in the Senate is someone who is of conviction and
Speaker 5: who would stand up in such a situation. I think
Speaker 5: that you know, Michaylia, I mean we've all sat there
Speaker 5: and listened to Senator Wong and her pontification over and over.
Speaker 2: I mean, she talks.
Speaker 5: About decency and respect, but does not really afford that
Speaker 5: decency or respect to Indigenous people if we're conservative, and
Speaker 5: she just thinks that Indigenous people or as she calls
Speaker 5: us First Nations people, should be viewed through the lens
Speaker 5: of leftist ideologues. And so look, I'm very grateful to
Speaker 5: have a leader such as Michaelia who stood up so
Speaker 5: passionately in my defense. You know, I was very heartened.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I guess it represents a bigger narrative.
Speaker 2: And you made those brilliant comments yesterday in the Senate,
Speaker 2: And I will say that Michaulia Cash also made a
Speaker 2: good point about this again today. She said that it
Speaker 2: is the left who keep pushing this welcome to country narrative.
Speaker 2: This is what she said.
Speaker 7: The virtue sigling need to end. The left need to
Speaker 7: understand a person who holds an opinion that is different
Speaker 7: to theirs. In particular, someone like Senator justinjer nmpajimper Price,
Speaker 7: who yes, she does have strongly held views about the
Speaker 7: acknowledgment and the welcome to country issue. Those views are
Speaker 7: based on lived experience each day. Her view is as
Speaker 7: valid as anybody else. Labor and the Greens now run Australia.
Speaker 7: But that does not mean that the quiet Australian's views
Speaker 7: cannot be represented in a respectful manner.
Speaker 2: I mean, is she right, because it just seems like
Speaker 2: every time this debate is talked about, you get labeled
Speaker 2: a racist, you get labeled a bigot, and the left
Speaker 2: keep pushing this agenda.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, you know, just as
Speaker 5: so the Hansen points it out.
Speaker 2: We held a referendum.
Speaker 5: Sixty percent of Australians don't want this racial division, you know,
Speaker 5: being accused of being racially divisive. But the minute you
Speaker 5: put one group of people on a pedestal or treat
Speaker 5: them differently to everybody else that there is exactly what
Speaker 5: division is, and viewing a group of people on racial
Speaker 5: heritage in a particular way and treating us in that
Speaker 5: way is what I would regard as racist. There are
Speaker 5: many Aboriginal people, people of Aboriginal descent in this country
Speaker 5: who are amongst the quiet Australians and are also very
Speaker 5: over the virtue signaling that it's patronizing to many of
Speaker 5: us that it still continues. I mean, seriously, I could
Speaker 5: be in a room full of people and there's all these.
Speaker 2: Acknowledgments, Well, what are you really acknowledging?
Speaker 5: I might be the only person of indigenous heritage in
Speaker 5: that room, But what does that really mean? It does nothing? Again,
Speaker 5: it does nothing. But all it does is signal, well,
Speaker 5: I'm one of these leftist allies, if you like. I'm
Speaker 5: a good little person that tows the line of an
Speaker 5: industry that we know that makes a hell of a
Speaker 5: lot of money out of the misery of the backs
Speaker 5: of those who are largely out of sight, out of mind,
Speaker 5: who couldn't give a damn about any acknowledgments or welcome
Speaker 5: to country or those sorts of things. And it's a reinvention,
Speaker 5: it's a reinvention. It's not traditional culture, which disregards real
Speaker 5: culture traditional culture. And that's the part that I think.
Speaker 2: Is most disrespectful.
Speaker 5: That it's a complete reinvention, but it's being palmed off
Speaker 5: as something that is all wonderful and part of culture.
Speaker 5: But there's always a price tag quite often involved in that.
Speaker 5: Let me ask you, we weren't taking money for any
Speaker 5: kind of cultural activity before there was settlement in this country.
Speaker 2: Well, i'll just see your spot on And even I
Speaker 2: noticed all the new labor MPs when they were making
Speaker 2: their maiden speeches in Parliament. Every single one of them
Speaker 2: got up on the first thing that they did was
Speaker 2: an acknowledgment of country. And you've got to wonder, why
Speaker 2: are you doing it? Do they even know why they
Speaker 2: were doing it? I agree with you. I think it's
Speaker 2: so trivialized. I want to ask you. Susan Lee says
Speaker 2: that acknowledgments have a time and a place, and that
Speaker 2: she would still stand in front of the Aboriginal flag.
Speaker 2: Does your sentiment and that of Senate to Cash now
Speaker 2: put you both at odds with the leader of the party. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Look, I mean for me personally, I've always stated that
Speaker 5: I view myself as an Australian, I don't differentiate between
Speaker 5: my mother and my father. I don't like the fact
Speaker 5: that at the opening of Parliament we've got running out
Speaker 5: the front of Parliament the indigenous flag, the Torres strad
Speaker 5: Island flag in the Australian flag.
Speaker 2: I just think on.
Speaker 5: A global scale, we look confused as a country. Are
Speaker 5: we three groups of people? Are we one person? Are
Speaker 5: we one people? In this country? And you know we
Speaker 5: are so diminished in our country. I mean, speaking to
Speaker 5: my defense personnel portfolio, we can't recruit enough people into
Speaker 5: our defense and we can't do that because as a
Speaker 5: toll to feel ashamed of who we are, because of
Speaker 5: our country's history. So you know, how are we supposed
Speaker 5: to grow our defense industry, our personnel to defend our
Speaker 5: country in the event, you know, if we're ever to.
Speaker 2: Be attacked by an adversary.
Speaker 5: I tell you all this welcome to country nonsense means
Speaker 5: absolutely nothing. All these acknowledgments to country means nothing. For
Speaker 5: those who would seek to do us harm, they wouldn't
Speaker 5: care less about any of that. But we are so
Speaker 5: confused as a country that we wouldn't be able to
Speaker 5: pull together to defend our nation and that is of
Speaker 5: deep concern.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is the real frightening part about all
Speaker 2: of this. I just want to ask you quickly about defense.
Speaker 2: The UK and Australia have deepened the Orchest Submarine Pact
Speaker 2: with a fifty year treaty sign today, Sanator. What's your
Speaker 2: understanding of what this means for Australia. But also at
Speaker 2: a time of course, when the US is reviewing the agreements.
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I mean it's all well and good that
Speaker 5: this is occurring. It's a good step in a direction
Speaker 5: toward ensuring that we secure UCUST, certainly with the UK,
Speaker 5: but again, our Prime Minister has failed to have a
Speaker 5: face to face meeting with one of the world's largest
Speaker 5: global leaders, and as a result, we still don't know
Speaker 5: exactly what our alliance looks like with the US at
Speaker 5: the moment, a long standing alliance. Our experts are telling
Speaker 5: us that we should be working closely, being proactive with
Speaker 5: the US, that we should be issuing a new direction
Speaker 5: statement signaling to the US that is, it would be
Speaker 5: wonderful for them to be here to strengthen our alliance,
Speaker 5: to strengthen AUCUST, to strengthen their presence in Northern Australia,
Speaker 5: with our northern bases, particularly during these geopolitical circumstances that
Speaker 5: we're faced with. I mean, I don't know what the
Speaker 5: Prime Minister is doing, why he keeps dropping this ball,
Speaker 5: But in terms of ourrategic partnership with the US, it
Speaker 5: is well overdue and it's required yesterday, not today, not
Speaker 5: even tomorrow, It's required immediately.
Speaker 2: That's what we need. Yeah, absolutely, just sent it. Nampajiper Price,
Speaker 2: good to catch up. Really appreciate your time. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for joining me on the show. Well, let's
Speaker 2: return now to that statement by Anthony Albanezi on Israel
Speaker 2: demanding it comply with international law, essentially dictating how it
Speaker 2: should defend its own country. Joining me now is Joel
Speaker 2: Bernie from the Australia Israel and Jewish Affairs Council. Joel,
Speaker 2: thanks for joining me. What's your reaction to the PM's
Speaker 2: comments today?
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me again, Danica. Well, i'll sum
Speaker 8: it up in a few quick buyer points. Obviously it's disappointing,
Speaker 8: but it's not unexpected and it's been a continuation of
Speaker 8: the policy since essentially October seven of twenty twenty three,
Speaker 8: so three quick buyer things. The first is is that
Speaker 8: we all know that Thamas is watching. Commented on the
Speaker 8: twenty eight member State statement from Monday congratulated the Australian
Speaker 8: government on its position. So we know that Kamas is watching.
Speaker 8: Kamas is a key and central player in the ending
Speaker 8: of this a humanitarian catastrophe, catastrophe that's in Gaza. We
Speaker 8: cannot deny Hamas's role in this. And I will say,
Speaker 8: as you said in your introduction, this war could have
Speaker 8: come to an end with the putting down of their
Speaker 8: arms and the surrendering of the hostages. It could have
Speaker 8: happened on October the eighth, twenty three, it can happen today.
Speaker 8: So in terms of that, Kamas is in complete control
Speaker 8: as to the end of this conflict. The second thing
Speaker 8: is that's on the micro there is a report of
Speaker 8: food shortages in Gaza, but I have seen clear footage
Speaker 8: from today. A scrum of media went to the border
Speaker 8: with Gaza and saw with their own eyes nine hundred
Speaker 8: and fifty truck loads of aid that has already been
Speaker 8: inspected by the Israelis and is now on the Gaza
Speaker 8: side of the border, ready to be delivered. It is
Speaker 8: not being delivered because the United Nations refuses to deliver it.
Speaker 8: In your introduction you talked about the distribution of aid
Speaker 8: by GHF that has been delivered millions of aid packages
Speaker 8: to those in need in Gaza. The aid is the
Speaker 8: bottleneck of the aid is because of the UN's inability
Speaker 8: and lack of desire to want to spread that aid.
Speaker 8: Now you might say, well, hold on the second, it's
Speaker 8: the Iron Nations. Why would they not be delivering aid?
Speaker 8: And this is the same United Nations that had embedded
Speaker 8: employees that came across the border on October seven, pillage
Speaker 8: raped and murdered. It's the same United Nations that it's
Speaker 8: UNRA command and controls as UNRA headquarters had come US
Speaker 8: command and Control center beneath it. And this is the
Speaker 8: same United Nations that has been perpetuating this conflict since
Speaker 8: nineteen forty eight. So the United Nations and what they
Speaker 8: say is not a stamp of approval to either say that,
Speaker 8: it's fact. Most importantly, the bottleneck of aid that is
Speaker 8: happening in Gaza now is specifically because of the United Nations.
Speaker 8: The third and most important point is on the macro.
Speaker 8: As I said at the start, Harmas is watching. Harmas
Speaker 8: praised the Australian government and other like minded countries on
Speaker 8: Monday for their recent statement. We also know that Harmas
Speaker 8: is responsible for the breakdown of ceasefire talks and was
Speaker 8: called out by the United States buy the categories and
Speaker 8: by the Egyptians because it's a must singular failure to
Speaker 8: agree to the terms of the ceasefire that could bring
Speaker 8: this all to an end. Exact clear statement was not
Speaker 8: present in the Prime Minister's statement today and I think
Speaker 8: that that is a clear mistake and it should have
Speaker 8: been highlighted in his state.
Speaker 2: Well even today. I mean, as I mentioned in that
Speaker 2: introduction that Harmas refused another cease fire deal in the US,
Speaker 2: so that they were being completely selfish in not again
Speaker 2: coming to the table. And this is the exact problem
Speaker 2: it's been Harmas from the beginning. I think Joel that
Speaker 2: this was probably the Prime Minister's strongest condemnation of israeltive date.
Speaker 2: What does that do for our relationship? Is it damage
Speaker 2: beyond repair? Now?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 8: The good thing is on that front, is Danika, is
Speaker 8: that the Israelis have had a very close affinity with
Speaker 8: Australia ever since its establishment. So it's not easily explainable
Speaker 8: in terms of, you know, the normal bilateral elements such
Speaker 8: as trade or shared resources or security situation. The relationship
Speaker 8: between Israel and Australia is far deeper than that. It's
Speaker 8: a friendship. It's a deep and warm relationship where Israelis
Speaker 8: love Australians, they love what Australia means to them, and
Speaker 8: they've always had this very very close affinity with each other.
Speaker 8: Now I think that that affinity is so deep that
Speaker 8: it will last the test of time. Of this current
Speaker 8: impasse between this government and the nets Nahal government. My
Speaker 8: hope is Danika, is that if people are so concerned
Speaker 8: about the humanitarian issues in Gaza, the main operator is
Speaker 8: in the main party that holds the keys to the
Speaker 8: ending this conflict. This commas and with more international pressure,
Speaker 8: including from so called friends like the Australian government, to
Speaker 8: exert pressure on Kamas to agree to the negotiated and
Speaker 8: mediated terms of the ceasefire, it will bring this conflict
Speaker 8: to an end with the aid going in and with
Speaker 8: hopeful that the hopeful suffering of the guards of people's caesars.
Speaker 8: If you have the Prime Minister really wants to end
Speaker 8: this humanitarian crisis. It's emboldened on him to pressure Comas
Speaker 8: to agree to the terms of the Sea Spire that
Speaker 8: will bring this to an end.
Speaker 2: Yes, spot on, as we keep saying, if this war
Speaker 2: good end tomorrow, if her must just release the hostages,
Speaker 2: and it's yet to do that. Joe Bernie, thank you
Speaker 2: very much for joining me on the show this evening.
Speaker 2: Appreciated Ega well. Coming up after the break my panel,
Speaker 2: we'll discuss whether the politicians should be forced to retire
Speaker 2: at sixty. That's next back, let's get into it with
Speaker 2: the panel. Our Johnny v is New South Wales Independent
Speaker 2: MP Tanyamahaler conform in New South Wales Police David Elliott,
Speaker 2: height of both of you. Good to see him. Thank
Speaker 2: you for joining me.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: I want to start in New South Wales because energy
Speaker 2: network distributors are prioritizing the installation of electric vehicle charging
Speaker 2: stations and repairing wind farms over crucial maintenance of the
Speaker 2: state's power wires. Endeavor Essential and Osgrid have been accused
Speaker 2: of seconding workers who are meant to be focusing on
Speaker 2: keeping the lights on in this country to complete compete
Speaker 2: with electrical contracts for work in the green energy space
Speaker 2: despite a massive backlog out this. I just feel like
Speaker 2: this green dream is impacting every single industry now.
Speaker 9: Well, and all these energy providers want to get into it,
Speaker 9: don't they. They want to slash the pie. I mean,
Speaker 9: there's money to be made. It doesn't surprise me their
Speaker 9: seconding staff away from much needed upgrading of poles and
Speaker 9: wires to electrical vehicle charging tenders and so forth. And
Speaker 9: you've got a government with Penny Sharp who's both the
Speaker 9: Minister for Energy and Climate Change, where she is entirely
Speaker 9: prior ties the net zero agenda in New South Wales
Speaker 9: on the back of, of course Matt Keane's old blueprint.
Speaker 9: We always going to be you know, corporate sort of
Speaker 9: subsidies and look the taxpayer subsidizing all this, and of
Speaker 9: course poles and wires have taken a back seat, and
Speaker 9: sadly it is all about renewables and.
Speaker 2: Electrical vehicle charges. They put two hundred and sixty million.
Speaker 9: Dollars in the last state budget towards grants and subsidies
Speaker 9: for these charging stations across New South Wales.
Speaker 2: That's not what the people are needing, that's not what.
Speaker 9: They're asking for. They want a reduction in their bills.
Speaker 2: They want a.
Speaker 9: Reliable energy service in New South Wales, which you don't have,
Speaker 9: and instead that's where the money is being redirected. And
Speaker 9: they won't fill any repercussions. These energy providers won't be
Speaker 9: any There will be no repercussions from Penny Sharp because
Speaker 9: that's the gender labor once right now.
Speaker 2: It's the agenda across the country right now, David. And
Speaker 2: you know tenure raises a good point. Our bills haven't changed.
Speaker 8: Well, that's wrong.
Speaker 2: That is a reality. So you can prioritize ev chargers
Speaker 2: and wind farms.
Speaker 10: Nothing's changing absolutely, and we were told that they would change.
Speaker 10: I mean, the reality is that a transition in whatever
Speaker 10: formula comes from, whether it's ten percent, ninety fifty to fifty,
Speaker 10: it's not going to happen by twenty thirty. It's not
Speaker 10: going to happen bou twenty forty. It's going to happen
Speaker 10: by twenty Maybe in twenty fifty we might have something
Speaker 10: that resembles what is acceptable today. But there is an
Speaker 10: upper hand. There is a new Southwest Parliamentary inquiry into this.
Speaker 10: At the moment I appeared before it about two weeks ago.
Speaker 10: And they are very concerned that the electricity firms are
Speaker 10: going to be trying to badger themselves into the market
Speaker 10: of just being the sole provider of EV charging stations
Speaker 10: and the like. We want competition, I mean the entire
Speaker 10: business community. I think the entire Australian community will want competition.
Speaker 10: But remember, these guys have have pushed their own product
Speaker 10: to a point where nobody wants to consume it. Therefore
Speaker 10: their profit margins are down. Therefore they have to diversify,
Speaker 10: and they're going to diversify it by trying to get
Speaker 10: some sort of monopoly or duopoly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Meanwhile, we're going broken backwards across the country. That's
Speaker 2: the problem. Now. Look, speaking of energy, I want to
Speaker 2: talk about net zero. Liberal leader Susan Lee. She's facing
Speaker 2: growing pressure from within the party to dump the target.
Speaker 2: The Nats, of course, have given an indication they'll walk
Speaker 2: away from the pledge, and now Liberal factions in Wa
Speaker 2: and Queensland are also moving to formally oppose it. How
Speaker 2: do you see this playing out now, Tanya, Because you've
Speaker 2: got Susan Lee, she's on a listening to us whatever
Speaker 2: that means, whatever that is. You know, she wants to
Speaker 2: discuss it with the party first, but you've got members
Speaker 2: grumbling underneath the surface. Well, she wants to discuss it
Speaker 2: with the party.
Speaker 9: I think the overwhelming result of that will be is
Speaker 9: that the members have had a gut full of net zero.
Speaker 9: I think if she's really listening to the members of
Speaker 9: the Liberal Party, they don't want their party pursuing this.
Speaker 5: Why pursue labor light policies?
Speaker 2: I agree, if people.
Speaker 9: Want to, they're going to go to Labor, They're going
Speaker 9: to go to the Greens, They're not going to go
Speaker 9: to Liberal Party. Susan Lay has a problem though, because
Speaker 9: I think she's there because of the moderates she's got,
Speaker 9: you know, Toomball whispering in one ear, Matt Keen and
Speaker 9: the other. I don't think she's going to change. I think,
Speaker 9: unfortunately for her and unfortunately for the liber Party, she
Speaker 9: will stay put with net zero despite suggesting that she's listening,
Speaker 9: and I think ultimately there'll be a revolt, be a
Speaker 9: revolt from the membership within the Liberal Party and further
Speaker 9: voter abandonment of the liber Party.
Speaker 2: I agree, instead of coming together and looking at what
Speaker 2: we can do to help you, the Australian people it's
Speaker 2: once again the folks. It's such an internal focus again, David,
Speaker 2: But how do you see this playing out as a
Speaker 2: liberal yourself?
Speaker 10: Well, I think, I mean Susan Lee's has got to acknowledge,
Speaker 10: will acknowledge and should be forced to acknowledge the fact
Speaker 10: that the Labor Party went to the election with net
Speaker 10: zero and they've got elected. So she's going to obviously
Speaker 10: say to her critics that Labor had a mandate, but
Speaker 10: that also forfeits the right because this thing's going to
Speaker 10: go to pastry. We all know it's going to go
Speaker 10: to pastry. So therefore she walks away from the opportunity
Speaker 10: in two three four years time, or particularly in the
Speaker 10: lead up to the next election, as powerble bills continue
Speaker 10: to go up to say I told you, sir, so
Speaker 10: I think you know, unless and if you want some
Speaker 10: product differentiation in Australian politics right now, you do listen
Speaker 10: to your party room, and you do listen to your organization,
Speaker 10: and you do listen to the National Party, and you
Speaker 10: do say, listen that zero twenty thirty is just unrealistic.
Speaker 10: It's not going to work. There is no plan that
Speaker 10: I think is sustainable. So therefore we're going to set
Speaker 10: that aside. But that's not going to say that we're
Speaker 10: going to come We're not going to come up with
Speaker 10: policies that are going to make us good custodians of
Speaker 10: the earth. But at the moment, I think she's going
Speaker 10: to be told that because the Labor Party won it
Speaker 10: with a mandate when the election with this policy, therefore
Speaker 10: they have a mandate. I think she's going to potentially
Speaker 10: deny herself some wonderful hits in about two years time.
Speaker 2: Well, that is a right gay detment. Yeah, I agree,
Speaker 2: complain and I just you know, back off the moderate
Speaker 2: the moderates point there. I just don't think that moderates
Speaker 2: can win government. I mean that's just my personal opinion.
Speaker 2: So yeah, look, let's see how this plays out. Now.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about a very interesting column in
Speaker 2: The Australian from Bernard Salt where he questions whether there
Speaker 2: should be an age limit on our world leaders. He argues,
Speaker 2: there comes a point in a politician's life cycle where
Speaker 2: younger blood would be better suited in the role, and
Speaker 2: that's at about sixty okay, So that means Anthony alb
Speaker 2: and Easy would be probably calling at quits. He's sixty two,
Speaker 2: whereas other major global players Vladimir Putin's seventy two, Shijing
Speaker 2: Ping seventy two, Trump seventy nine. Well, poor old Joe,
Speaker 2: I mean eighty two. Well what don't we say about
Speaker 2: Joe Biden? But Tanya, what do you think age limits sixties? No,
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that.
Speaker 9: I think some of the best world leaders we've had
Speaker 9: our older. I think you need that level of experience.
Speaker 9: I think you need to have as long as you're
Speaker 9: a stute and you've got your cognitive abilities. Unlike John
Speaker 9: And look at Trump, He's come back second time.
Speaker 2: It looks incredibly active to me.
Speaker 9: Let's look at Prime Minister Moti seventy five India, as
Speaker 9: you mentioned Putin Yahoo's seventy five. I mean, they're all
Speaker 9: very active leaders and they're playing a huge role globally
Speaker 9: right now. And I think they're intellect what they offer,
Speaker 9: that level of experience, that level understanding not needing to
Speaker 9: be liked, understanding that you've actually got to deliver really
Speaker 9: proper policies and strategies out there.
Speaker 2: Are they doing it? Are they doing it at sixty David?
Speaker 10: No, I mean I think I was on a comeback.
Speaker 10: It depends on your DNA, doesn't It depends on your genes.
Speaker 10: I mean, church will be Hitler at seventy and continued
Speaker 10: to serve as Prime Minister until he was eighty one,
Speaker 10: taking down the Communist Party of Western of Eastern Europe.
Speaker 10: So he was clearly up for the job at into
Speaker 10: his age, his job in the in the age you've
Speaker 10: got popes that are that run the Catholic Church into
Speaker 10: their eighties. I think Ronald Reagan was was obviously a
Speaker 10: very senior man when he was still Prime President of
Speaker 10: the United States. The Queen was still working at ninety
Speaker 10: five or whatever she was, so I think I think
Speaker 10: it's horses for course. I actually think very disappointed in
Speaker 10: Bernon for this, and I like his work, but I
Speaker 10: think it's very shallow to think that at sixty years
Speaker 10: old you have to be put out the past.
Speaker 2: I look, I agree, Sama, Maren.
Speaker 9: Do you remember the Finland prime minister, yes, six, yeah,
Speaker 9: when she was dancy.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and that's a really young leaders that are just
Speaker 10: complete dribblers.
Speaker 2: Correct, Oh, well that's true. But yeah, I'm thinking that
Speaker 2: you get to that age where you're like Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: you start talking nonsense, then you've got a problem now,
Speaker 2: really quickly.
Speaker 9: Talking nonsense at thirty.
Speaker 2: Well true, when new studies found kids under thirteen would
Speaker 2: be happier and healthier for not having a smartphone. We're
Speaker 2: almost out of time. But you're both parents. I'd love
Speaker 2: to get your views on this.
Speaker 9: I'm always for banning smartphones at a young age. I
Speaker 9: think there's so many kids now that are around twenty
Speaker 9: or nineteen and twenty that have had a phone for
Speaker 9: the last eight years that have got a lot of
Speaker 9: damage as a result.
Speaker 2: Said they're not sleeping, it's of pausing issues within the family.
Speaker 10: I thought it and fought it, and fought it until
Speaker 10: the last I think my boys got there at fifteen
Speaker 10: or sixteen, and that was only a must. But I
Speaker 10: agree with Tanya, you've got to fight this stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think I was about thirteen when
Speaker 2: I got a foe. But it was with the old
Speaker 2: noki is, you know, And I didn't do anything but
Speaker 2: play snake on it. Remember that old game that was
Speaker 2: about it. So if you could make a call, oh
Speaker 2: that's it. I can't believe we can even dial out.
Speaker 2: But you know, phones have changed these days, Tanya Mahlo
Speaker 2: David Elliott. Thank you very much, have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me. Coming up after the break more
Speaker 2: on Labour's condemnation of Israel, plus we'll cross to London
Speaker 2: and get the latest on protests against asylum seekers. That's next.
Speaker 2: Let's return now to the Prime Minister's latest condemnation of Israel.
Speaker 2: In his strongest statement to date, he said, we call
Speaker 2: on Israel to comply immediately with its obligations under international law.
Speaker 2: And after Australia and the UK joined twenty eight countries
Speaker 2: demanding an immediate end to the war this week, a
Speaker 2: statement which actually received the praise of hermus Here was
Speaker 2: Pennywong and her UK counterpart in Sydney today.
Speaker 3: What is occurring in Gaza in relation to the lack
Speaker 3: of aid and children and the deaths of civilians seeking
Speaker 3: to gain aid is indefensible.
Speaker 11: The deteriorating situation we've seen in Gaza over the last
Speaker 11: few weeks is indefensible. I repeat my call today for
Speaker 11: a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: Joiningy now is Shadow Cabinet Secretary Andrew Wallace, who's at
Speaker 2: the food and agriculture markets on the Sunshine Coast. Good
Speaker 2: to see Andrew. Thank you so much for joining me. Firstly,
Speaker 2: what do you make of the Prime Minister's latest statement.
Speaker 1: Well, Dameika, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 12: Look at fundamentally misplaces the fact that Hamas started this
Speaker 12: war in the first instance, and Hamas are refusing to
Speaker 12: lay down their weapons.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 12: You know, both the United States and Israel this morning
Speaker 12: have walked away from the deal that they had put
Speaker 12: on the table because in the United States terms, Hamas
Speaker 12: are not operating in good faith. They do not want
Speaker 12: to cease fire in the same way that Harmas don't
Speaker 12: want to.
Speaker 2: See a two state solution.
Speaker 12: They've consistently for decades stood against a two state solution,
Speaker 12: and yet the rest of the world seems to be
Speaker 12: ramming it down their throats. They don't want it and
Speaker 12: nor do they want to cease fire. So I think
Speaker 12: this latest statement by the Prime Minister is misplaced because
Speaker 12: it fails to recognize that Hamas is the problem. Hamas
Speaker 12: are the ones that killed twelve hundred innocent Israelis. They
Speaker 12: took two hundred and fifty hostages, fifty of whom are
Speaker 12: still in captivity, and they seem to be unwilling to
Speaker 12: be able to hand them over until their demands are met. Now,
Speaker 12: as far as what is going on in guards are
Speaker 12: at the moment, it is heartbreaking. Anybody with any kind
Speaker 12: of humanity would feel a great sense of sorrow and
Speaker 12: loss when we.
Speaker 1: See what's going on.
Speaker 12: But what we don't see from the mainstream media is
Speaker 12: talking about how her Musk are keeping the humanitarian supplies
Speaker 12: from Palestinian civilians. They are stealing the humanitarian supplies that
Speaker 12: are being provided and they are either keeping it for
Speaker 12: themselves or selling it to Palestinians at exorbitant prices.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And that's what you don't hear about. And
Speaker 2: you're right, her mus is the problem, as her mus
Speaker 2: has been the issue from day dot spot on. I
Speaker 2: want to ask you about any Labour has told mining
Speaker 2: magnate Andrew Forrest it wants taxpayers money back after Fortescue
Speaker 2: pulled the pin on two of its green hydrogen projects.
Speaker 2: One was in Gladston and Queensland, the other in the
Speaker 2: US state of Arizona. Andrew, You've got to wonder what
Speaker 2: sort of a deal labor has entered into here. You've
Speaker 2: got failed projects mounting up across the country, but billions
Speaker 2: of taxpayer dollars are being spent on this with no
Speaker 2: return and now we're begging for a refund.
Speaker 12: Well he really begged his belief, doesn't it. I mean,
Speaker 12: the country and industries seem to be walking away from
Speaker 12: this green hydrogen dream.
Speaker 1: You know, they all seem to be doing it.
Speaker 12: And now finally the Labor Party are saying, well, you know,
Speaker 12: give us the money back. I hope and pray that
Speaker 12: we do get this money back because at the moment
Speaker 12: it's a windfall.
Speaker 1: The twiggy forest. Not like he's short of.
Speaker 12: A quid, but Australians can't continue to have our taxpayers
Speaker 12: used on is a folly. And you know we should
Speaker 12: get serious about continuing to invest in these pipe dreams
Speaker 12: of Chris Bowen that are absolutely bearing zero fruit.
Speaker 2: Enough's enough, No, I completely agree, Andrew Wallasey. Enjoy the
Speaker 2: fruit and veg market. It looks good out there. Keep
Speaker 2: warm and you're a great advocate for your community as always.
Speaker 1: Cool.
Speaker 2: It's cool. I bet, I bet it is, Thanks Andrews.
Speaker 2: See you next time. Well, let's move on now. Counselors
Speaker 2: in Eping outside London have unanimously voted for the UK
Speaker 2: government to close down two hotels in the area being
Speaker 2: used to house asylum seekers. Now. Housing these people cost
Speaker 2: the UK taxpayer five point seven million or eleven point
Speaker 2: eight million Aussie dollars a day a day. Would you believe? Now?
Speaker 2: It comes after furious protests outside from locals. Join mey
Speaker 2: now is Spiked Online editor Tom Slater, Tom, thanks for
Speaker 2: joining me. What on earth is actually going on here?
Speaker 13: Well, this is a long running issue which has just
Speaker 13: been brought to boiling points.
Speaker 1: It's about twenty twenty.
Speaker 13: This hotel in Epping has been used to house asylum
Speaker 13: see because it's a policy that we've seen across the
Speaker 13: country as the small boat's arrivals continue in their tens
Speaker 13: of thousands. But what happened over the past couple of
Speaker 13: weeks was that people just snapped in the area. There
Speaker 13: was an Ethiopian asylum seeker. He was in the country
Speaker 13: for eight days and he managed to clock up three
Speaker 13: sexual offense charges in that time. And this led to
Speaker 13: more protests outside of this particular hotel, many of which,
Speaker 13: it should be said, turned ugly in the evening as
Speaker 13: troublemakers showed up. But I think what people have realized,
Speaker 13: politicians in Epping, politicians in Westminster, journalists in London even
Speaker 13: is that this is clearly not just far right troublemakers
Speaker 13: as they were caricatured, as there.
Speaker 1: Are concerns within the community.
Speaker 13: There are concerns across the country about allowing unvetted men
Speaker 13: to stay in these hotels, and I think this vote
Speaker 13: that we saw in the Council is a reminder of that.
Speaker 13: It stal falls to central government to make this decision.
Speaker 13: But I think the penny is starting to drop that
Speaker 13: you cannot go on.
Speaker 2: Like this, and I mean, you don't blame these locals
Speaker 2: for being so fed up. Enough is enough. It's just ridiculous. Now. Look,
Speaker 2: former UK Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has launched a new
Speaker 2: hard left party, which I'm sure is just what the
Speaker 2: UK needs. But Tom, he's called it your party. What
Speaker 2: a stupid name.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's absolutely atrocious.
Speaker 13: They then had to clarify that that's not actually the name,
Speaker 13: that's just the placeholder name or the name on the
Speaker 13: website where they work out what the name is.
Speaker 1: It's been a bit of a shower, to be perfectly frank.
Speaker 13: I mean, it's incredible that at one point Labor we're
Speaker 13: putting this man forward to run the country.
Speaker 1: He can't even pull off.
Speaker 13: A website launch without turning into a complete shambles. As
Speaker 13: you say, we really don't need this, you know, something
Speaker 13: for voters to flock to if they feel that the
Speaker 13: Labor parties insufficiently Israelo phobic. That seems to be essentially
Speaker 13: the cell here. But there is a constituency for it,
Speaker 13: certainly a lot of inner cities, certainly amongst the kind
Speaker 13: of university graduate class who really backed Corbyn.
Speaker 1: When he was Labor leader.
Speaker 13: Not a party that's suddenly going to take power, I
Speaker 13: dare say, but something that could certainly be a problem
Speaker 13: for Labor in terms of eating away at some of
Speaker 13: their vote.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well that'll be interesting. We'll see what the
Speaker 2: official name is that once they seem to figure it out.
Speaker 2: So I want to ask you about the Royals. Prince
Speaker 2: Harry has reportedly started negotiations with the Royal family to
Speaker 2: make a joint public appearance at the twenty twenty seven
Speaker 2: in Victor's Games Tom. The event has been touted as
Speaker 2: a possible peace summit. O. Look, I don't know what
Speaker 2: do you think.
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 13: This seems like he's been in the works for a while.
Speaker 13: Some of Harry's aides, as well as some of the
Speaker 13: aids from the Palace, meeting in secret for drinks and
Speaker 13: so on. It's clear that Harry wants some kind of
Speaker 13: rap rofmone. He wants some kind of reconciliation, but it's
Speaker 13: always been made impossibly difficult by the fact that he
Speaker 13: left the royal family five years ago, he essentially trying
Speaker 13: to burn the place down on his way out, and
Speaker 13: then his wife accused everyone of being a racist. I
Speaker 13: don't understand why he doesn't see that this might make
Speaker 13: people less likely to want to embrace him, to come
Speaker 13: to his events and so on. So who knows if
Speaker 13: this might happen. One interesting detail is that it seems
Speaker 13: to be prefaced on the idea that Megan will be
Speaker 13: nowhere near the Invictors Games if they're going to appear.
Speaker 13: So if it is a kind of reconciliation, it's a
Speaker 13: pretty tepid one that they seem to be going for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, no wonder that they're maybe happy to go
Speaker 2: through with it if Megan's not there and speaks volumes
Speaker 2: of what's actually going on. Tom Slater, good to see
Speaker 2: you as always, Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Back in a moment with the winners and
Speaker 2: losers of the week, including Labour's juvenile antics on social
Speaker 2: media and the ladies from the view sent packing as
Speaker 2: the show is placed on hiatus, Welcome back. It is
Speaker 2: that time of the week where we sought the winners
Speaker 2: from the losers. And helping me to do that as always,
Speaker 2: he's the lovely Proubik sway from verb communications rou Here
Speaker 2: we go again. Now you've got a few winners this week.
Speaker 2: Actually you cram them in Michaulia cash for defending just
Speaker 2: into namperjiper Price we just spoke to actually earlier on
Speaker 2: in the show, and Barnaby Joyce for his performance on
Speaker 2: Sky News yesterday. We've got to replay it here.
Speaker 1: It is bulls.
Speaker 12: Bull fight, and you know you stay away from the bulls.
Speaker 2: MVP MVP. I love him, I love him.
Speaker 14: I mean it's just fabulous, Thank goodness. Finally between him
Speaker 14: McCormick and Michaulia as well. Where reality is setting in,
Speaker 14: we need people who are actually thinkers. These two blokes
Speaker 14: have got zero tolerance for net zero at about time,
Speaker 14: and we all should we know it's a path to
Speaker 14: destruction in Saturday. It is insane. It's Emperor's got no
Speaker 14: clothes stuff. Everybody is accepting it but really knowing that
Speaker 14: it's not right. And then we've got Michaulia, who really
Speaker 14: gave it to that smart ass Penny Wong. You know,
Speaker 14: I mean, God sanktimonious, daigning and daring to talk down
Speaker 14: to and dismiss to send a.
Speaker 8: Rice.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm just so glad that we've got some liberals
Speaker 14: with some balls and fortitude and IQ let's hope it
Speaker 14: kicks in.
Speaker 2: I agree, Well done to Machayla Cash. I thought her
Speaker 2: impassion defense was just amazing. And yeah, let's see what
Speaker 2: happens with net zero. I mean, whether or not the
Speaker 2: Liberal party move on that remains to be saved. Now
Speaker 2: look my winner this week. I had to give it
Speaker 2: to women's sport because the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee
Speaker 2: they says that they will comply with Donald Trump's order
Speaker 2: of course to ban biological men from women's leagues. I mean, hello,
Speaker 2: a couple of has taken an executive order to get here.
Speaker 2: But good on the Olympic and Paralympic Committee for moving
Speaker 2: on this. The question is are we going to move
Speaker 2: on it here? Pro Why are we so far behind
Speaker 2: New Zealand today has just moved on it. They're doing
Speaker 2: the same. Sorry, we need to start actually protecting women's
Speaker 2: safety in this country.
Speaker 14: This government, the Labor Party doesn't recognize what a woman
Speaker 14: is doing.
Speaker 2: That I don't know what a woman is so.
Speaker 14: I mean, there's a bunch of lemmings and have no brains.
Speaker 14: They don't care about the safety of women. Clearly, let's
Speaker 14: hope that you know, something happened, reality hits and they
Speaker 14: do something about it. But it's a great start that
Speaker 14: the US is leading the way, and you know, thank goodness, but.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't take an executive order.
Speaker 14: All of these sporting officials should know that that's their
Speaker 14: duty to protect women the safety of players.
Speaker 2: And you actually lose men as well politically on this,
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of dads out there who are
Speaker 2: very worried about their little girls being rammed down by
Speaker 2: a biological male playing in a girl's only or women's
Speaker 2: only league. So you're not doing them any favors either,
Speaker 2: you're not doing the elector any favors. Now, look, your
Speaker 2: loser this week are the juvenile labor politicians on social media.
Speaker 2: Good grief, it's been a week for them, hasn't it.
Speaker 2: Here's some oh why do they do this? They actually
Speaker 2: look at themselves.
Speaker 14: Some little twelve year old who's running the social media
Speaker 14: department in Parliament House thinks it's really clever and cute. Actually,
Speaker 14: people on TikTok, you know, younger.
Speaker 2: Kids would see that and think it.
Speaker 4: Was a real turn.
Speaker 2: I love it. You know, I don't know that they would.
Speaker 2: I reckon they would. They think, oh, cool, they're cool,
Speaker 2: they're cool people. But I look at it and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: you're cringe and you're actually, oh, they're disgusting. And if
Speaker 2: that's the IQ. And we know IQ is not mandatory.
Speaker 14: To be a politician in Australia, we get that well.
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of very good policy there are.
Speaker 2: Let's clarify, right, I.
Speaker 14: Want certain in certain parties. Maybe we could say let's labor,
Speaker 14: let's face it so you know, look, keep doing it
Speaker 14: because you're morons.
Speaker 2: You look like morons.
Speaker 14: And maybe if they're spending that time on social media,
Speaker 14: they're not making decisions can impact on our life.
Speaker 2: Look, I completely I agree with you. I saw those
Speaker 2: this week and I just roll my eyes. Now, look,
Speaker 2: I had to give my loser to the week to
Speaker 2: the view after the show is going on hiatus.
Speaker 15: And before we go on hiatus, only have one more
Speaker 15: show after this. I'm allowed to say that. Right too
Speaker 15: late now, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, before we go,
Speaker 15: I wanted to tell people that the tit is churning,
Speaker 15: the tighter is churning, and things are changing. I mean
Speaker 15: the ultimate irony would be that Rupert Murdoch will take
Speaker 15: him down. Yeah, Fox News, who created the monster, will
Speaker 15: take him down.
Speaker 2: Okay, case you've got the gist there. They're blaming Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: of course, so I just like Stephen Colbert, the US
Speaker 2: talk show hosts blamed Trump. Not to mention it was
Speaker 2: bleeding forty million dollars a year from that show and
Speaker 2: it cost one hundred million to produce. But never mind,
Speaker 2: it's always Trump's fault. But goodbye. Enjoy your hiatus. You
Speaker 2: deserve it.
Speaker 14: Off you go see thanks, you've been giving us a hiatus, Hernia.
Speaker 14: I think anyway, the views of sheelers, I've got to
Speaker 14: tell you, good Sainara, they won't be back at.
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll be back. I mean when you've
Speaker 2: got them making their Trump derangement syndrome comments every week in,
Speaker 2: week out. Please pri McSwain have a good week. Hered
Speaker 2: to again next week. Thanks so much for joining me
Speaker 2: and thank you for your company. I'll be back seven
Speaker 2: pm Sunday Night Stay with us Steve Prices next good night,
