WEBVTT - Sharri | 17 September 0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:08.280 Why On Sky News, this is Sharry Good Evening. Welcome 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.600 to the show tonight. The Labor Party in panic mode 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.800 after polling shows Dutton could win the next election. Well 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:18.880 it turns out he may not be as unelectable as 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.759 the PM hoped. Meanwhile, Penny One refuses to rule out 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:26.800 supporting a pro her Musk motion at the United Nations. 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.200 I'm going to get stuck into this in a minute. 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:34.519 And an ABC executive today has refused to apologize to 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.760 Heston Russell for doctoring a video in a report accusing 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.479 him of war crimes. This as new claims emerge of 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:48.280 fabricated evidence that arrogance continues. Also on the show, a 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.080 cover up to avoid implicating a public figure. That's the 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.720 damning findings of a review into the Daniel and Catherine 0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:00.400 Andrews twenty thirteen car crash. Well, one of those in 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.959 the probe will break down these revelations shortly plus, Donald 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:09.440 Trump breaks his silence. All of a sudden, we heard 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:14.800 juds being fired in the air, the former president speaking 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:19.880 candidly about the second attempt on his life. But first tonight, 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.720 a legendary labor figure and the business community are today 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.360 accusing the Albanese government of losing its way. Tonight, as 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.720 we speak, the business community is delivering a damning verdict 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.479 on the Prime Minister, saying he's taking our country backwards 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:41.039 with a deteriorating economy. In a major speech tonight, the 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:45.639 Business Council of Australia's Bran Black says Australia is losing 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:50.680 its way thanks to Labour's workplace laws and industry regulation. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.520 My message receiving is that wish key that is real 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.320 and all Australia's already feeling in consequence. You be one 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.120 of the twelve hundred plus businesses that close their doors. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.840 If they're an equidation in July, you feel that if 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.000 you are the employees of those businesses, and you feel 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.400 if you're in Australian worry about future. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.680 And his sentiment was echoed by the trailblazing Bill Kelty, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.240 who has made scathing remarks about the current Labor Party 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.280 to leading figures. At a private lunch, he said, what 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.040 we do not need is a self congratulatory government telling 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:33.880 people they have really cared and looked after them. Pretty 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.080 strong for the man described correctly by the Finn Review 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:41.200 as one of the architects of Australia's modern prosperity. Well, 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.280 this all comes after the Mineral Council of Australia Chief 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:49.120 Tanya Constable's attack last week on Labour's ir laws, which 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.360 she called reckless. She said they were bringing conflict to 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:58.000 the workplace. Well, both Anthony Alberesi and Jim Chalmers are 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.600 in the room tonight as the Business Council ramps up 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.160 its political attack on the government ahead of the next election. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:10.080 Already this election is shaping up to be highly competitive. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.720 Labour had long dismissed Peter Dutton as a serious challenger. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.680 They shrugged him off as too unpopular to be elected. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.600 But now his tough exterior and his policy convictions seem 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:30.280 to suit the times. He's exceeding voters and Labors expectations 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.639 and a Dutton minority government certainly isn't out of the question. 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.200 The seemingly never ending cost of living crisis is hurting 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.240 families and the business community. And in his speech tonight, 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.320 well here's what Bran Black said. 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.200 He should rather feeling confident in that growing posterity. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.680 Many CEOs feel so we are losing our way instead 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.480 the beases on things that matter. We's having incremental but 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.240 noticeable in such a giving its setbacks and this shouldn't. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.680 Be smissus talking Australia down. He's a belief by Helsown 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.560 membership that we can and must do Earth for the 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:10.960 same future generations. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.840 Now representing Corporate Australia, Black said there needs to be 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:21.559 cuts to regulation, more flexible workplace laws, simpler planning laws 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:26.200 for new projects, a more efficient tax system and that's 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.839 just the start. Political editor Simon Benson writes that it's 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.359 taken the Business Council long enough to work out that 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:38.440 the Albanese government's political agenda was not favorable to economic activity. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.360 They have now finally woken up and it's come at 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.400 the same time as trade union legend Bill Kelty's intervention. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:52.240 He was that Labour needs to dramatically reshape its economic 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.920 agenda to lift productivity, and he's criticized the Albaneze government 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.280 for well, as he says, having no plan and to 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:05.680 revitalize a near stagnant economy. He's critical of high personal 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:10.000 income tax brackets and the effects of bracket creep. He 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.320 says people are not impressed by politicians telling them, or 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.520 at least implying that a tax cut has fixed their 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.160 problem paying bills, especially a tax cut that leaves them 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:24.039 paying more tax than they were two years ago. And 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.320 Kelty paints a realistic picture of the dwindling Australian gene. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.240 He says for a great number of people, they face 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.520 a world of renting, not home ownership, total marginal tax 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.960 rates including GSD of over fifty percent, and jobs in 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:45.400 which the real value of their wages have declined. Radical 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:51.360 policy decisions taken across industrial relations, foreign policy, national security 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.520 and environmental laws are now coming home to roost for 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.920 the Prime Minister, and they well may very well cost 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.560 him the next election. 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:06.120 Well. 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.560 Now to revelations, the Bayner administration is putting pressure on 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.840 alban Easy to oppose an extreme pro Palestinian motion at 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.839 the United Nations that calls for Israel to immediately withdraw 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:24.440 from Gaza. Now, to be clear, this motion demands an 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:29.560 unconditional withdrawal from Gaza. It calls for sanctions and travel 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.440 bands on Israelis and a ban on armed sails to 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:38.880 the Jewish State. It also supports global boycotts on Israeli companies. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:44.760 That is just simply racist and anti Semitic. It can't 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.640 be described as anything other than pro Hamas. And yet 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:53.080 again this demonstrates how the United Nations is a discredited 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.880 body that no longer protects the very people it was 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.680 created to act as a guardian over this UN motion 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.200 would mean forgetting about the hostages and allowing a terror 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.720 group to remain in control, free to commit massacres of 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:13.400 Jews over and over again. It's absurd that the Americans 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.280 have to pressure Australia to vote down this UN motion. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:24.120 Australia was once a sound and rational, reliable international partner 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.040 that could be relied on to be a friend of Israel, 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:34.640 now no longer. Now Pennywang hasn't said whether Australia will 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.960 support this or not, but that it's even a consideration 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.600 is unthinkable. She declined to comment today when we contacted 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.440 her office. The coalition's position is that alban Easy and 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:52.520 Penny Wang should categorically oppose this UN motion and really 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.640 this is a statement of the obvious. But here was 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.560 Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham on Pete Stefanovick this 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.320 morning and he made the point that this is a 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.120 one sided motion that the government just shouldn't support. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.320 It is a motion that would be deeply counterproductive to 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.520 long term peace efforts. And it's an entirely one sided 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.360 motion that makes no mention at all of Hamas of 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:21.400 the horrors and atrocities committed back on October seven last year, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.080 or of the hostages who have now continued to be 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:25.520 held for almost a year. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.560 And importantly, Birmingham pointed out how Australia is now becoming 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:36.439 out of step with our closest international ally, the United States. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.120 The decision for the Albanesi government should be clearcut, that 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.160 should be to oppose it, to stand with friends in allies, 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.679 and to continue to support long standing bipartisan policy in 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:51.640 Australia about how we ultimately negotiate a two state solution 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.720 for Israel and the Palestinian people. 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.040 Now, Colin Rubinstein, who'll join me here on the show tonight, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.480 he says the UN motion and support setting up an 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:06.199 international Commission of inquiry that would effectively dismantle Israel as 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:11.800 a Jewish national home. He calls this an ultra extreme motion. 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.920 He says it would be the ultimate reward for terrorism, 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.839 turning October seven into a victory for Hermas. And Colin 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.840 Rubinstein says, mass murder, rape, and torture would not be punished. Instead, 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.840 they would become the successful Palestinian tactics that prompted the 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:33.600 international community to attempt to impose via coercion all the 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:41.000 extremist demands of the Palestinian leadership. It's bewildering how terrorism 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.360 has come to be excused by the international community, and 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.800 it's a sad indictment on the United Nations. The very 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.040 organization set up to protect Jews in the wake of 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:57.160 the Holocaust, it now perpetuates anti Semitism and acts as 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:01.559 a vehicle for bloodthirsty terrorists and evil regimes like Iran 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:07.440 seeking to dismantle the Jewish state. How has this come 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:13.920 to pass? As I said, I'll be speaking with Colin 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.680 Rubinstein about the UN vote later in the show, but 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.960 now let's bring in our regular Tuesday panel, former Speaker 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.199 of the House Bronn Bishop and Sky News host Caleb Bond. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.520 Welcome to you both. Look, I want to start by 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.520 getting your reaction to the news. It's unfolding as we 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.320 speak the Business Council dinner, the fact that the Business 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.600 Council is now turning on the Albanesi government Brunwan. Back 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.360 in twenty twenty two, Albanesi promised he was going to 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.240 be a pro business prime minister. Well it's taken the 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.600 BCA a long time to realize that that's actually not 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:47.160 the case. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.080 Well, Alberzi made a lot of promises, didn't he before 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.440 he's elected. I don't think one of them has been 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.320 delivered except to the trade unions. That's the only promises 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.080 he's delivered in So I'm very pleased to see that 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.160 the Business councilor is finally coming to its senses, dare 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.679 I say, and realizing that this government is absolutely in 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.719 their not in their interest at all. And I think 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.800 they're making a strong case. And I watched Albanezi's response 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.000 to the draft being leaked out and getting the points 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.240 coming out, and I can only describe it as pathetic. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.319 I mean, he stands there when people are hurting, when 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:32.200 inflation is still sticky, when people are being talked about 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.839 of losing their houses, and he talks about for each other, 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.320 lowering the cost of childcare and free medicine or words 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.719 to that effect, and people just listen to these words 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.400 as if he's proud of what he's achieved, which is nothing. 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.560 So it is important that the Business Council will come 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.160 out and say that what you're doing is destroying this country. 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.280 Two surpluses charmbers. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.080 Start and by the way, comments supported by Bill Keilty absolutely. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.840 Remember well, bro I do remember well, and I do 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:07.280 remember that he and Bob Hawk with their accord was 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:12.440 aimed at stabilizing and brings them wages claims down so 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:16.440 that you could beat inflation and start to have people 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.240 have faith in the ability of their door to buy 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.320 the things that they need. All we're doing now is 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.880 with the wages chasing infletion is people have more money 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.679 in their pocket, but it buys lets, it can't pay 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:31.280 the bills. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.880 It's a very different labor government what we're seeing today 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.600 from the Wholke Keeting era. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.520 You know it was very different and understatement speak well, this. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.319 Is a radical left government. You know, it's not mainstream 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.000 at all. Even under Kevin Rudd labor was much more mainstream. 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:50.120 Caleb correct. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.440 And you know the fact that the Business Council is 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.319 speaking out. I mean fights between business and labor are 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.480 not a new thing. But what it indicates is a 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.560 lack of business confidence right now, and a lack of 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.520 business confidence ultimately leads to less investment and less employment, 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.560 and that will be the biggest issue for the government here. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:08.120 Potentially. 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.880 One of the things that's been spoken about tonight at 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:16.200 the dinner is the collective bargaining multi employer bargaining that 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.000 has come in as part of the government's IR laws. Now, interestingly, 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.720 that's something that actually benefits in some ways big business 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.640 over small business, So it's interesting that the BCA is 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.600 speaking out about it. But ultimately what it means is 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.079 that businesses that perhaps cannot afford to pay the higher 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.520 wages that a larger employer could absorb get put out 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.920 of the system. You move them out of the system. Well, 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.480 where those people going to go to work? And that 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.800 will ultimately be the problem. The union's now talking about 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.080 setting up a work Choices style campaign when it comes 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.040 to the next federal election. Good luck to them. The 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.720 Coalition and the Business Council have to run a campaign 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.720 on if you want a job, you have to defeat 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:58.679 these IR laws. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.240 You think that would be a fight coalition would welcome. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.360 Well let's turn now to the shocking allegations against the 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.200 ABC that they doctored gunshot audio on a story that 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.160 accused the retired Special Forces soldier Heston Russell of war crimes. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.959 We spoke about this at length last night on the show. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.000 Well today Heston Russell has doubled down and he's accused 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:23.560 the ABC of fabricating more footage. Here's that breaking news 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:24.360 this afternoon. 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.760 But mister Russell alleged today that another broadcast on the 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.640 flagship seven point thirty report has even more added gunshots. 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:33.640 How many shots did. 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.360 You count there? It's about eleven or twelve? Do you 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.040 think they should take this down? Absolutely? 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.520 This is completely new audio brought in from somewhere else 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.760 that digging themselves a deeper hole because there's been many 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.800 edits made to sensationalize this story. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.560 The ABC has been contacted for comment, but mister Heston, 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.480 who's already won a successful defamation case against the broadcaster 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.080 for four hundred thousand dollars, also wants an apology and 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.200 is calling for a parliamentary inquiry into the issue. 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.200 And then, quite amazing timing, the ABC's director of News, 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.960 Justin Stevens, happened to be giving a speech at the 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.000 Melbourne Press Club today and he was asked whether he 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.240 was going to apologize to Heston Russell, and once again 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:16.480 he refused, he said, I'm not going to preempt that. Well, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.720 the arrogance here is just unbelievable. Heston Russell now considering 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:24.720 further legal action against the public broadcaster. But bron When 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.480 Christa in The Nightly wrote a brilliant piece where he 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.400 spoke about Mark Willersey the journalist to arrogance, he said 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:38.200 he was caught out basically spinning a battlefield rumor into 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.080 a war crime. And I think that really captures the 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:42.320 nub of what's happened here. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.280 This is really shocking. The ABC has been doing some 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.960 awful things, but this is just beyond the pale. And 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.600 if they think they can get away with just firing 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.280 some poor person who was in the editing booth and 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.200 letting everybody else float along on, that's not going to wash. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:02.640 Do you know? 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:08.200 It's interesting the staff of the ABC are public servants, 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.440 so they are actually covered by the knack and perhaps 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.000 this is an issue it should be referred to the knack. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:23.960 Interesting thought, Well, it's serious enough to because there's an 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:29.360 academic who wrote who said Stephen Morris, professor of Politics, 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.600 said political corruption is the illegitimate use of public power 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.040 to benefit a private interest. And if a pursuit of 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.280 in the words of mister Stevens today, trying to say 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:47.920 that journalists seeking to gain acclamation as journalists was. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:50.320 A pursuit. 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.840 I think we're getting into very murky territory. I'm not 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.720 making any allegations. I'm just saying that this may matter 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.040 is so serious it cannot be left to the ABC 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:06.960 to investigate itself. The idea of a parliamentary inquiry is one, 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.600 but perhaps the NACKT does have a role. 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.520 Well, and Heston has said there might be further legal action. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.240 That is something and you considering and talking about with 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:16.200 Supersanthro and. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.320 Rebecca Jill as well as not instead of. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.960 But Caleb, I think a lot of people looking at 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.600 this and they see the errors. They watch that amazing 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.040 spotlight show on Sunday Night on seven that revealed all 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:31.200 of this, and they think, how can that ABC keep going, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.960 keep pursuing something to the point where he might nearly 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.320 be on the verge of taking his life, and then 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.359 just refuse to apologize. Well, when it's been found in 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.000 a court of law that they got it wrong. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.720 Because the ABC is so high and mighty, and many 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.520 of the people who work at the ABC are so 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.879 high and mighty. They believe that they are more superior 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.400 than the rest of us, those who work or work 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.480 in the quote unquote tabloid media or the Murdoch Media 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.199 or the nine media or what you're all scum. We 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.479 at the ABC are above all of you, and so 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.600 they feel like they can do anything without impunity. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.240 A bottom of correct as willis he said. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.480 And the problem is, though, that the ABC has engaged 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:15.320 here in fake news. I mean, this is just absolutely news. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.720 And I do not for one second by this argument 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.320 that it comes down to an error that was made 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.320 in editing. Right now, you might forgive a print journalist 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.600 who wrote a story and there was a headline that 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.720 went on it that was a little bit misleading, but 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.200 it wasn't the breaking story of the day. Whatever. Right, 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.560 you make a complaint, someone complains about it, you go 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.760 to the subedter, to the subeter apologizes. If you're breaking 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:44.560 a major exclusive story, whether it's in television, print, online, whatever, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.280 you go over every single little bit of that before 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.160 it goes to where or is printed, because it's ultimately 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.400 your name is the journalist, your barline that goes next 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.520 to it. I do not buy for a minute that 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.439 other people in the ABC were not aware of the 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.720 fact that was docted. Either they were aware or they 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.000 took very little care in checking the product they were 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:05.840 going to put to it. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.000 Just adding there. Of course, the journalists have denied that 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.760 they had anything to do with it. Now, let's have 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.159 a look at the fallout from this freshwater polling that 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.920 suggested a Dutton minority government is within reach for the Coalition. Well, 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.000 Labor is hitting back, going on the defense. They are 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:26.000 using the line that Darton has extreme right views and 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.720 a lack of policy and that this is going to 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:33.520 see Poles tighten up closer to the federal election. But Bronwin, 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:37.320 this is the issue Labor has always believed Albanezy has 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:41.720 always believed that Peter Dutton is unelectable and so this 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.000 has in a sense given them a bit of protection. 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:46.600 But it's just not the case. 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.520 Well, they also said the same thing about Tony Abbott. 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:50.200 They did. 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.680 And when I look at mister Alban Easy, he sometimes 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:59.960 looks like he's come off on our selection and think 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.840 that this is supposed to be the leader of a 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.320 modern contemporary society. 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.640 Come off what sorry on our selection? 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.920 It's an old movie where it's kind of like Dad 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:09.560 and Dave. 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:14.439 Right, I'm in pieces which you have a screening, a 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.800 family screen that's by the bye. 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.520 But I mean other people say, of course, mister Chalmers 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.760 looks like I'm a pile, which is another old television production. 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:30.520 But to the point, to the point, it is a 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:35.119 matter of Peter Dutton being very mainstream. He's expressing the 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.280 views that ordinary people see are the way we should 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:42.080 be going. That labor is taking the country absolutely in 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.000 the wrong direction. You're seeing already people putting themselves out 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.280 to be alternate leaders. You've got Burke out there, you've 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.560 got charmers, and now you've got Blebersec who's busy promoting 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.000 herself as a good left wing candidate. And I was 0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:00.199 fascinated by the words of Kelty in particular that the 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.640 government was losing its way. Yes, of course, I think 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.320 I remember that there were similar words, a good government 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:09.840 losing its way the put Gillard in place of Rudd. 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.240 So I think there's no accident about some of these 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.760 words being used, and I think there is. I think 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:25.200 there is time for alban Easy to make some progress. 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:29.359 But I do think that that Financial Review poll it 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.320 shows that Peter Dutton is possible to get the keys 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.720 to the lodge, is certainly true. 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.840 And there's no question there are people in Labor, particularly 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.360 in marginal Western seats like Tony Burke, who are panicking 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:44.200 about this Caleb. 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.119 Of course they are, and deservedly so. I mean, the 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.120 great thing about Peter Dutton is that he has been 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:54.240 so underestimated for such a long time, and polling for 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.040 the better part of a year now has shown that, 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.760 at least on terms of strength, people rate Peter Dutton 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:04.119 better than the Prime minister. He doesn't necessarily win on popularity, 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:08.680 but he wins on strength. He wins on understanding issues 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.600 like cost of living, the biggest issues that are around 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:14.800 right now exactly and ultimately when it comes to an election, 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.000 they are the things that people will be thinking about. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.760 He's been strong to characterize him as you know, extreme 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.639 right or far right, as Labor is trying to do, 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.720 or at least they believe privately, is nonsense. And if 0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.359 that's how they're going to estimate him, well they're on 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:31.239 a hiding too, don't thing. 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.399 Yeah, Well, there's such a far left government, you know, 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:38.080 compared to siss governments, right, They that he would be 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.160 far right to that, you know, compared to Centrius governments, 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:44.120 like I said, like Rudds, like Gillards, like even State 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.520 Chris Men's and Peter Mullen askus there's very Centrius labor company. 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.320 By the way, Bronwin, I played a bit of Bye 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.720 Bye Birdie on the Sunday show Down the other night 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.080 and Paul chardedly for that. So you're in good company. 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:56.240 Have to give us a list of the movies to 0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.000 catch up on. Brunwin, Bishop and calebind Great to see 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:03.600 you both well. Today. Let's turn to today's bombshell revelations 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.080 around Daniel Andrews and that infamous crash with the teen 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:11.600 cyclist Ryan Mulliman will A review by a former police 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:15.280 assistant commissioner says the investigation into the crash was an 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:20.159 overt cover up to avoid implicating a political figure. The 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:25.280 review suggested that the police investigation into the accident was flawed, unfounded, 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:31.480 and contrary to the available evidence. These are damning findings now. Sadly, 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:35.760 the commissioner who did that review, doctor Raymond Shuey, died 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:41.399 in August, just days after completing his final report. The 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:45.359 review was commissioned by the cyclist's lawyers as part of 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:49.640 an ongoing Supreme caught damage proceedings into the crash. Now, 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:52.800 in response, former Premier Daniel Andrews and his wife have 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:56.040 just this afternoon made a statement. They said, this so 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.800 called report was commissioned by lawyers on behalf of their 0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.120 clients who seking money through the courts by suing their 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:05.320 former lawyers. We are not a party to this legal action. 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:09.080 We did nothing wrong. This matter has already been comprehensively 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:16.280 and independently investigated and closed by Victoria police and integrity agencies. Well, 0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:20.760 let's bring in now Colin Robertson. He's a design engineer 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:24.159 and consultant to the mueller Men family. He's been helping 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:28.639 them fight for in their eyes justice. Welcome to the show, 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:34.119 Thanks for your time. Look just how damning are these findings. 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:40.800 I'll put simply, Shari very damning. Doctor Shuey looked at 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:43.480
