WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 17 June 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.320 Lately. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:08.000 Welcome to the Late Debate. Well, thanks for joining us 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:08.720 on the Late Debate. 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.720 I'm James Macpherson with Caleb Bond and freyer Leitch coming 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:16.000 up tonight. Remember Pamela Anderson from Baywatch Days, Well, who 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.840 says Hollywood is agus She's back on the big screen. 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.599 We'll show you a preview from her upcoming movie a 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:26.920 little later. That'll excite the teenage boys that we're talking about. Plus, 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.319 when we look at what's making news tomorrow, pressure on 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.080 Anthony Albinezi to lift defense spending after he missed his 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.360 scheduled meeting with Donald Trump at the G. 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.599 Seven, and Israel takes out Iran's. 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:42.120 Military chief on the fifth day of fighting with Iran. 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.440 We'll get to all of that. 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.559 Shortly, but first, you know, I remember growing up and 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.760 being able to easily recognize all the cars on the road. 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:54.960 You had Ford's, Holden's, Toyotas, Mazdas, Mitsubishi's. But these days 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.960 I hardly recognize any of them, and it feels like 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.160 there's a new brand pretty much every other week. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.000 Now. If you feel the same as I do, you're 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:05.240 not imagining it. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.240 Australian roads are increasingly dominated by Chinese vehicles. In fact, 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.959 one in every six cars sold in this country is 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.040 now a Chinese vehicle. In fact, in the past twelve months, 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.720 ten new brands from China have been introduced to our market. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.880 Consider the pace of change when it comes to cars 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.720 in this country. Back in nineteen seventy we had a 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.120 population of twelve and a half million people. We manufactured 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.760 in our own factories four hundred and seventy five thousand cars. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.520 We exported cars to other countries. But in the space 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.640 of just fifty years we've gone from manufacturing and exporting 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:48.280 vehicles to importing every single car on our roads, and 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.480 increasingly from China. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.040 So here's the question. Is that a problem and if 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.200 it is, Caleb, what do we do about it? 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.280 Well, at this point there's not much we can do 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.640 about it. I mean, it's an interesting point you raise 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.280 about the loss of manufacturing in this country, which, of 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.640 course you know we all know quite acutely, particularly when 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.639 Holden shut down in the great state of South Australia. 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.480 I mean, there are people who lost their jobs at 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.480 Olden who never got a job afterwards because they'd spent 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.399 their whole career working in a car manufacturing plant. They're 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.720 in their mid to late fifties. What hope did they 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.040 ever have of getting another job afterwards. We used to 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:27.760 make everything in Australia. Refrigerators, washing machines, Kelvinator, Westinghouse were 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.840 all manufacturing here. In fact, if you go to the 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.680 National Motor Museum in Birdwood in South Australia, you can 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.200 see a car built by a washing machine company. Yes, 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.760 we used to do these sorts of things in Australia 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.400 and then it all disappeared. And of course we had 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.400 the introduction of Japanese cars in the eighties and. 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.679 Everyone said, oh, want this jap crap. But of course 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:50.360 it turned. 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.160 Out that Japanese cars were quite reliable. But of course 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:58.919 the biggest Japanese manufacturer, Toyota, built cars here in Australia. Ford, 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.400 of course, was an American company, but they built cars 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:03.559 here in Australia. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.760 Holden was an Australian company. 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.000 Brought out by GM, which is an American company, but 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.800 they still built cars in Australia. What we're talking about 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.880 now is total imports. Every car in this country is imported. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.960 We have given so much manufacturing to China specifically, I 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.720 don't mind so much a car that's imported from Japan 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:27.240 or Germany or elsewhere in Europe or Korea, countries that 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.320 we're pretty sure we're not going to have any sort 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.200 of military conflicts. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:31.640 With these days. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.800 But China is a country that we might have military 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:35.440 conflict with. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:36.240 And we have a. 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:41.480 Situation where nearly everything now, including cars, comes from China. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.760 What happens on the day that war comes and our 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:50.080 supplies are totally reliant on China, they can turn the 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.920 tap off like that, and then we are stuffed. We 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.200 have become too reliant on China, and I think that 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.880 is the greatest danger of this, and I think there's. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.600 A deeper issue here as well. 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.480 Yes, the future potential for conflict is concerning for our 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.680 supply chains, but the danger has already arrived with the 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.920 thousands of Chinese cars that are already on Australian streets. 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.719 Biden banned Chinese and Russian cars from going into the US. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.560 If Biden, if Joe Biden is banning something and actually 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:23.560 taking action. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.880 You know, it's really bad. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.200 And part of the problem with these cars is the 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.160 amount of data harvesting they can do. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:31.320 They can see your location. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.920 They have cameras, so they can see you while you're driving, 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.599 they can see where you're driving, and under Chinese law, 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:44.080 Chinese companies are legally obligated to pass that data back 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:48.160 onto the CCP. So we are hopelessly exposed. But it's 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.440 even more concerning because our Minister for cyber Security, Tony Burke, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.440 himself drives a Chinese car and he's been questioned on this, 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.279 what if you're going to sensitive sites, how much data 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.479 are they getting from you? What steps are you taking 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.039 to mitigate the national security risk of this? And the 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.240 typical answer will take that on notice, no answer, And 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.480 this is happening from our ministers down and we are 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:14.680 so exposed. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.560 And that's the issue with automobiles now because they're not 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.440 like they were, but they're basically computers on wheels now, 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.680 hence the national security risk that was not a factor 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:25.800 twenty years ago. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.200 We wouldn't have been even thinking these thoughts. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:32.799 But now suddenly it's not just about our manufacturing base 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.680 that's been lost, it's not just about supply chain being interrupted. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.200 It's about national security and it's a big problem. But 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.679 whether anything will be done about it, if Tony Burke 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.599 won't change his habits because of this you can't expect 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:46.560 anybody else in there. 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.760 Yeah, And Chris Bowen's also been flogging Chinese cars on 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.600 his social media because of course the EV tax credit 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.240 is one of Labour's proudest achievements, so he's literally flogging 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:02.040 byd Chinese cars as the minister for the Australian government. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.560 And imagine as well, because of course data is collected centrally, 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.479 and we know it's being collected centrally because you've had 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.960 car manufacturing companies actually selling data to insurance companies so 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.320 they can track how you drive your vehicle. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.600 When you go through anew your insurance. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.080 You know, imagine if mister Jijinping wakes up one day 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.640 and says, can you just go and hackle those cars 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.520 we've sent out there and make them go one hundred 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.840 mile an hour? I mean, these are the things that 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.880 they could conceivably do. And as for being watched with 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.279 the cameras Tesla was doing that, we know of a 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.000 case where they had had footage. They'd taken footage from 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.840 the camera on someone's car where they'd approached their car 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.000 in the nutty and this footage had been shared around 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.400 in chat groups inside of Tesla and that got out 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.520 and they had to deal with that. So if they're 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.840 doing it at Tesla, don't think that they're not doing 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.679 it over in China. While we're talking about the Chinese 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.800 infiltration of the West. 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.440 Of course, TikTok, you'll remember, that's another. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.920 Thing that Biden wanted to ban in the United States 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.040 that was meant to come into effect on January the nineteenth. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.279 It did come into effect for just a few days, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.840 and of course President Trump came to power and he 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.880 put a stop to all of that. I mean, it 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.160 was the worst twenty four odd hours that I think 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:19.560 many people had ever experienced in their lives. Normally, when 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.080 something happens, I would get on TikTok AND's are complaining 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:23.440 and I can't even do that. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:29.880 We learned so much about things we didn't know about, opportunities, 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.360 places to eat, movies to watch, books to read. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.680 I just seen the video of the girl that made 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.920 the Renegade dance, and I'm curing because I read a 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.040 comment that was like the algorithm saying good biteers, Okay, 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.280 this app was literally supposed to be my way out. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:49.720 So sad. 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.120 Now, of course, the deal was that if TikTok wanted 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.520 to avoid a bite Dance Switch is parent company of TikTok. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.200 TikTok wanted to avoid being banned in the United States, 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.400 they had to divest to top that was being used 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.800 in the United States, so therefore it wouldn't be linked 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.120 to China and then data wouldn't be sent back to 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.480 the CCP. Trump said, look, we'll put a three month 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.280 stay on this and we'll try to come to an 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.280 agreement where fifty percent of TikTok is owned by. 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.000 The United States. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.840 That came up in March, and he then extended it again, 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.400 and so it will come up on June the nineteenth, 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.960 in just two days. There still has been no sale 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.640 of any part of TikTok. 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:24.880 Now. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.000 Donald Trump has said tonight that he thinks he will 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.640 probably extend the deal again so they can. 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.240 Try to find a buyer. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.080 But as far as I'm concerned, TikTok has had far 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.520 more time that it was originally offered to get this done. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.040 They have not been able to sell it off. I 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.640 don't think they have any interest in selling it off 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.280 because China thinks it's far more valuable to own a 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.080 service like TikTok because it gives us all this data 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.640 on the people who are using it, gives them access 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.679 to the mobile phones with the people who are using it, 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.920 and more importantly, it gives them influence in the West 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.040 because they get to control the algorithms and decide what 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.000 people in the West are looking at. They don't want 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.560 to sell it. They are playing Trump for a fool here. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.640 And he ought to turn around and say, if you 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.720 haven't been able to sell it by now, too bloody bad. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.320 Your banned until you've done it. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.800 So what hope do we have dealing with Chinese cars 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.760 if we can't even deal with a Chinese social media app. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.800 And this is the test for Donald Trump, who of 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.520 course made a big song and dance about the dangers 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.400 and the evils of TikTok, only to then change his 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.400 mind when of the Pido might be helping him with 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.000 younger voters. Have he extended the deadline a couple of times? 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.280 If he extends it a third time, does anyone really 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:38.320 believe he's serious? 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:39.080 But he should be. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.160 Remember this clip from US sixty minutes talking about the 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.040 fact that the Chinese produce one version of TikTok spinach 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.760 if you like, for their own children, and yet leave 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.920 us with a version of TikTok, which is like a 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.319 drug that's messing with our kids' minds. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.120 If you're under fourteen years old. They show you science 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:02.160 experiments you can do at home. Is exhibits patriotism videos 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.080 and educational videos, and they also limit it to only 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.480 forty minutes per day. Now, they don't ship that version 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.560 of TikTok to the rest of the world, so it's 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.520 almost like they recognize that technology is influencing kids development 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.760 and they make their domestic version a spinach version of TikTok, 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.440 while they've shipped the opium version to the rest. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:23.760 Of the world. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.160 When you've got a social media app that is so 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.600 obviously being used to influence Western young people for bad, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.040 why wouldn't you just get rid of it rather than 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:36.760 carry on this. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:38.720 Yeah, not of the deal. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.840 Well, it is a bit of a charade because realistically 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.560 there is about a zero percent chance that TikTok will 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.320 actually manage to find a buyer. The first issue is 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.600 it is so expensive, So the app is valued at 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.280 around between one hundred and two hundred billion dollars. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:56.400 To put that into. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.800 Perspective, Elon Musk bought the whole of Twitter for forty 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.440 five four billion dollars, so you're talking about something that 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:06.040 is double the size. The other problem is that algorithms 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.280 to the CCP are actually considered a core national asset. 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.040 So algorithms have even. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.520 Been put on a list of restricted technology, which would 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.200 require the CCP to consent to the sale of it 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.199 to any Western buyer, which naturally they're not going to 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.800 do because, as you've pointed out, they have so much 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:29.160 power and influence in the Western world through these algorithms. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.400 And then you have the other factor of that there 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:38.600 are simply no Western companies technologically able to run TikTok. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.440 Microsoft has tried and back down. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.880 Oracle thought about it but couldn't. Meta would or would 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.240 have a monopoly on social media if they did take 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.600 it on, so it probably wouldn't be allowed to I 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.320 think the best bet for someone to buy TikTok would 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.160 be Elon Musk, but I don't think he's going to 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.760 be doing Trump any favors anymore, and that was probably 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:57.520 the only option. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.000 I have to ask though, as someone who uses chickens 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:07.120 compied into it, do you worry about the data that 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:08.800 the CCP is harvesting on you? 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.840 Yes, I need to get a bernafhone. I think that's 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.560 the solution. And because my approach has always been TikTok 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.920 is such a powerful app in that you can go 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.800 viral very quickly, you can reach a lot of people. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.360 My TikTok's during the Voice referendum got over four million 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.000 views and similarly during the last federal election, so it 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.000 is very powerful. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.840 As long as young people are there, we have to 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.400 use it. But I should take some more precautions. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.320 But your Twitter feed was spinach for Australian young Yes, yes, 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:38.960 I was. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.880 Up there upholding the quality of TikTok. But of course 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.880 the other impact of social media on kids is mental health, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:52.000 and mental health is an issue that seems to be exploding. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.120 In our country. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.840 Fifteen percent of six year old boys are now on 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:03.280 the NDIS, with issues mostly around autism and being neurodivergent. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.240 But a pre eminent psychologist, Pat McGrory wrote an interesting 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.560 opinion piece today where he essentially says what we're seeing 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:17.679 is the rise of unmet need and met unneed in 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.439 our mental health system. So what he means by that 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:27.079 the unmet need, people with serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:32.240 are not experiencing not having the same access to support 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.280 that they did when things like institutional care existed. Those 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:41.080 were obviously dismantled in the nineties and nothing similar has 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.559 replaced them. So people who really do need structured environments 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.360 aren't getting that support. But on the flip side, people 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.679 with low levels of mental illness like autism or depression 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.000 and anxiety are getting a lot of support through the 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.400 bloated NDIS. So what he points out is there is 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:06.319 a really unfair mismatch in need versus support provided by 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.920 our system, and it's the most vulnerable again that are 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.040 paying the price. And now, he says, our mental health 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.840 system is like an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.160 There is no support to stop them jumping off that. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.240 And what he's called out is that there are people 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.760 in the system now who really shouldn't be in the system. 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.880 He writes in the column, rates of diagnosis of ADHD 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.320 are also surging, driven in part by a welcome catch 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:36.960 up for historical underdiagnosis, but equally by a wave of misdiagnosis, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.400 which includes substantial met and need. At the same time, 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.800 severely disabled older adults with severe mental health illnesses are 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.280 locked out of vital health and psychosocial care. And basically 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.800 what he's saying is that the divide between these people 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.760 has actually grown. And of course we talk about, oh, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.240 mental health is such a big issue now and we're 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.240 spending more mo on mental health. Well, he points out 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.320 that the proportion of health funding that is spent hasn't 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.600 really changed in thirty years. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:09.680 The numbers of. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.600 People committing suicide in this country are not really moving 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.240 because you have all these people coming into the system, 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.160 and he points out largely come from wealthier parts of 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.160 the country who can afford to access mental health care, 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.200 but in the process of clogging up the mental health 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.040 system because they think they have anxiety, or they think 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.280 they have ADHD, or they think they have depression or whatever, 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.880 because they've been told that everything that they experience in 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.960 their life has to be medicalized in some way, as 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:43.080 opposed to it being just, you know, sometimes part of life. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.680 Those who need real care and. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.840 Could be a danger to themselves and to others cannot 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.560 get it. What he is saying, and he's been on 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.320 this case for a very long time. Of course, was 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.680 Australian of the Year in twenty ten, is that we 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:00.360 are just not up to scratch. We say we care 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.760 about mental health. We don't care about mental health. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:04.560 We care about. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.840 Mental health being fashionable, and we have you know, are 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.720 you Okay? Day and they give out some cupcakes in 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.760 the workplace and say, oh, if you're feeling depressed, go 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.120 and talk to someone. But if you have a real 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.800 mental health problem and you want to get help in 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.600 this country, it's nigh on impossible. Try to take yourself 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.080 to a public hospital and get help for mental health. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.960 It is impossible. I know from personal experience, not me 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.160 going to a hospital, I. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.280 Know people who have like they have gone to a hospital. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.320 Desperate for help, and they cannot get it because we 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.400 cannot provide it because we have too many people clogging 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.520 up the system, and we don't spend the money where 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:45.600 it's need to be spent. 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.560 I think it is an absolute disgrace. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:48.800 Well, if you want to know how bad it is, 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.720 I mean the conversation about what are we doing for 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.760 people with schizophrenia. That conversation really didn't exist much until 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.840 the Bondai a Junction stabbing, and then when it came 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.920 to pass that we realize this is a guy who's 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.000 slipped through the system multiple times, all of a sudden, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.000 there's a conversation. It took something like that to get 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.960 people talking about this issue, and the labor government haven't helped. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:13.320 They cut by half the number of Medicare subsidized mental 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.560 health appointments you can make from twenty to ten. And 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:22.200 I was talking to a psychologists recently who said the number. 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:23.960 Of people requiring. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:30.320 Psychology appointments since the pandemic just exploded. But the frustration, 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.199 she said was you get just a few sessions with people, 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.520 it's enough, she said, to put a band aid on it. 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:36.680 But then you send them. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.280 Back out and you just know they're going to have 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.760 ongoing problems, either with themselves or with other people. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.560 But that's it. There's no more funding, and they just 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.000 move on to the next one. So it's frustration all. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.600 Around because it's much easier to do that are you 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.000 okay day everyone feels good about themselves than to deal 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.040 with the really hard pressing issues. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.280 Yeah, exactly. 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.440 And the other problem that I've heard from psychologists about 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:04.760 the increased subsidies is the challenges It drains resources from 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.399 the psychology and psychiatrist profession, but it's not necessarily going 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.200 to the most vulnerable And the interesting point that was 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.800 raised in this article is that when they were called 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:21.560 asylum centers mental asylums, but really structured institutional care for 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.840 people with severe mental illness. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.280 When those were disbanded in the nineties. 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:32.040 Everyone promised that some new revolutionary model of integrated community 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.320 care would happen. But it just hasn't, and so they've 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.640 broken that promise and now the people who are most 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.280 in need have been left with nothing. 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.600 Indeed, let's go to the Middle East, where everybody is 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:44.280 on tetorhooks. 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:44.760 At the moment. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.520 The Israeli Defense Forces and her Masterol eagerly waiting the 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:53.520 outcome of tonight's Northern Beaches Council meeting, where our councilors 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.240 here in Sydney will debate whether or not they should 0:18:56.240 --> 0:19:00.639 call for a ceasefire in Gaza. The motion been moved 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.439 by a Greens counselor you're not surprised at all by that, 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:07.600 are you, Ethan Henjik, who is just twenty one years old. 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.600 So I'm not sure Cayleb whether this is because he's 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.600 twenty one or because he's a Green. Maybe you put 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.760 those two things together and you get ridiculous motions or 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.959 he's a bit thick, or it could be that a 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.359 combination of all three no doubts. So this Greens Council 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.200 at twenty one years old, as I said, he's having 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.240 the Northern Beaches Council debate tonight to call for a ceasefire, 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.800 to boycott Israel companies and get this to formally commend 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:38.000 activists aligned with the anti Israel movement. 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.480 Now, he says, this vote is very important. 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.080 Because there's one other thing on the agenda tonight in 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.000 the Northern Beaches Council, and that's a twenty five percent 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.399 rate rise. Now those two things are connected. I'll let 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.159 the Greens councilor explain. In his own words, he says, 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.320 considering we may be asking residents for an increase in rates, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.359 this meeting is the perfect time to put our community 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.880 at ease. That counts is not complicit what in this 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:06.000 complex international issue. Because of course, if you're living on 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.520 the Northern Beaches of Sydney, you don't want. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.120 To copp a twenty five percent rate rise. 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.040 But if you know that your council members are calling 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.680 for a ceasefire in gas, I tell you it helps 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.760 you deal with that twenty five percent rise. Far more 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.159 easily caleber. Everybody knows this to be the case. 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:26.520 I'm gone, I'd take a twenty five percent increase in 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.520 my council rates any day to know that my council 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:33.439 really cares about geopolitics. I mean, how dumbed do you 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.359 have to be? And by the way, how slow do 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.639 you have to be? How slow are they in the 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.560 Northern Beaches. I think we're up to twenty twenty months 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.560 since since the war started October twenty twenty three, and 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:48.000 now we get. 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.879 A motion at the council to talk about it. Please 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.440 stick to your knitting. This is none of your business. 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:58.280 Roads rates rubbish, like I know why they do it 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:02.440 because councils populated and you can you know, he's twenty one, 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.680 he's a member of the Greens, so clearly he has 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:08.399 political ambition and he can't quite hack the fact that 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.600 in order to work up to where he wants to get, 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.080 which is state or federal politics, is to do his 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:14.280 dues in local. 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:15.040 Government for a while. 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.280 He's really care about the issues of local government. He's 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:19.959 just doing it so that when he goes for pre 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.920 selection one day, it'll look good on the piece when 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.439 he gives it to the members to say, pre select me. 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:27.920 He doesn't actually care about the roads or the rape 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.480 or the rubbish. He cares about other stuff, So he's 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.520 trying to insert his pet politics into the council. 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.160 Go away, say if the Liberal Party cared enough about 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:37.840 the people of the Northern Beaches, they would have got 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.280 their nominations on time and we probably wouldn't have this 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:43.600 Greens guy whose previous work experience. 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:45.280 According to other council members. 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.280 I'm not sure if this is in jest or if 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.200 it's true, but Vincent de Lusa, an independent councilor there 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.160 with the Green, said this immature twenty one year old 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:57.200 whose highest experience is working at conducting fried chicken, and 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.679 nothing wrong with using the Northern Beaches Council to climb 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:00.240 the Green. 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.520 Political No, but you will laugh at this motion. 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.480 And while I'm not one for pro Palestine motions, especially 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.480 ones that don't mention Hamas or bringing the hostages home, 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.679 I will say there is one aspect of this that 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:17.159 I particularly like, and that's where he says the Northern 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:22.800 Beaches Council needs to offer targeted support to Palestinian refugees 0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.120 on the beaches. One I would like to know how 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.679 many Palestinian refugees are there on the beaches and if 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.840 there are none, could we take this as an offer 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:37.359 to host the three thousand gardens who've just been granted 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.800 tourist visas, because I think the Northern Beaches would. 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:41.880 Be a perfect place to put them. 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:46.560 And if after receiving three thousand gardens, the Northern Beaches 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.960 still wants to vote in the Greens councilor I will 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:50.360 be very shocked. 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.040 Well, I tell you, if you think the Northern Beaches 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.359 Council is bad, it could be worse. You could be 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:58.080 living in Melbourne, where the Merybeck Council has just realized 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:02.800 twelve years after the fact they overcharged two hundred and 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:08.720 forty eight thousand motorists by twelve million dollars on parking fines. Now, 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.080 I think the reason why it's taken them so long 0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:15.520 to realize they've overcharged locals twelve million dollars for parking 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:19.040 fines is they were otherwise occupied occupied on things like well, 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:23.639 they changed the name of their council area. They changed 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.560 it from Morland to Mirriback. Spent half a million dollars 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.960 doing that because Morland was associated with a Jamaican slave trader. 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.199 Back in April, they spent forty five thousand dollars on 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:38.240 Pride crossings. They in twenty twenty three came up with 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:42.159 an eleven point resolution on the conflict in Gaza, so 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:45.720 little wonder it's taken them so long to realize. Back 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:50.720 in twenty thirteen, they overcharged residents by twelve million dollars. 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.840 They've promised to repay the money, but get this calib 0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:57.560 it's an opt in refund system. So rather than them 0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:01.159 going to residents who have been over charged, they are 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.680 waiting to see residents come to them, what twelve years 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:07.480 after the event, for a refund on the money that 0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:09.800 they were not supposed to have paid. 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:12.960 This is a scam and mary Beck, by the way, 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:16.480 is not a real term when they came up with that. 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:18.280 I was at the Herald Soun in Melbourne at the 0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:22.840 time and one local Indigenous elder said that he'd scoured 0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:24.919 through the local language and he could not find the 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.600 word beck anywhere, that the closest translation was probably actually 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:31.960 big bb ik, and that the word they come up with, 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:34.520 mary Beck, which Brent me rocky country, is not. 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.040 Grammatically correct in the language. So there you go. 0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:38.639 They did a great job when they went out to 0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:39.760 be culturally sensitive. 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:41.879 But this is a scam. 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.960 The idea that a council or any level of government 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.639 for that matter, can find you more than they are 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.000 allowed to and they think it was about fifty dollars 0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:56.200 per fine above what they should have been charging for 0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:58.440 twelve years, twelve odd. 0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:01.240 Million dollars more than they we're allowed to ask for. 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.200 And then they say it's all good because we've set 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.800 up a bit on our website where you can go 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:08.600 and apply to get. 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:09.280 Your money back. 0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:13.680 I mean they should be compelled by law to give 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.520 this money back to people. How can you take more 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:21.080 money from people than they owe to you and then 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:23.440 say well, you've got twelve months to claim it back. 0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:24.760 That's theft and. 0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:25.840 No one's going to do it. 0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:30.000 Who on earth is monitoring the council website in Merrieback 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:33.280 and will happen to assemble across the fact that, oh, 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.360 maybe that one time I was fined a decade ago, 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:38.359 I may have been overcharged. 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:40.959 Let me just apply and with that receipt. 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:41.879 But it gets worse than that. 0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.160 Let's imagine they do pay back the twelve million, right, 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.880 what council these days, has got twelve million dollars down 0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:48.560 the back of the couch. Where will they get the 0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:49.040 money from? 0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.920 Caleb? I reckon they'll probably add a little bit more to. 0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:52.760 The rates, you know what. 0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:55.199 They should be banned from doing so they should have 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:58.520 to pay for this quite literally in all the money, 0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:00.320 and then have to deal with the fact that they 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.760 don't have the money to make up for him and parsulably, 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.400 they've already spent that twelve million dollars, So good luck 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:08.719 to them. If you didn't overcharge people, you wouldn't have 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:13.000 a problem. Speaking of overcharging overseas in Europe, they're going 0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.000 tropo at the moment about all the tourists who are 0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.119 coming over. Of course, it's summer in Europe now and 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:21.159 tourists are flocking there to soak up some of the 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.760 warm weather. Made de Mands just done two weeks in 0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:26.280 Morocco and then arrived in Spain the other day, and 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:27.600 he's thoroughly enjoying that. 0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:28.560 Spoke to him. 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:33.000 I think it was last night at about ten am 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:35.480 local time. It was already over thirty degrees. He was 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.439 about to jump into pool, which sounded quite pleasant. As 0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.639 I was driving into work here in Chile, Sydney, but 0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:44.320 they're angry. Would you believe you can see it on 0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:47.760 the screen here with all these tourists. They've been protesting 0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:52.400 in Spain, in Barcelona, They've been protesting over in Milan, 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:56.119 in Venice, Lisbon, Naples, on and on it goes because 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:58.560 there are too many tourists, the locals say. 0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:00.520 They say they've been over by. 0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:05.040 Tourists and everything is now far too expensive. They can't 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:08.160 afford coffee, apparently, they can't afford to go out to eat, 0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:11.399 they can't afford to buy an alcoholic drink because of 0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.840 course they're jacking up all the prices in the restaurants 0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:17.040 and the cafes to cater to the cashed up tourists 0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.360 have come in with all their money from the UK 0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:23.360 and Australia, etc. And I can kind of understand bother 0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:25.800 they were shooting tourists with water pistols, which is actually 0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:29.600 quite funny. I can kind of understand where they're coming from, 0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.040 because I get it. If you're a local and all 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.680 of a sudden you're essentially priced out of your own 0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.719 city because the city is now overrun with tourists who 0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:40.439 are awash with money, you would go well, what the 0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:41.680 hell this is my town. 0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:43.800 I've lived here my whole life. I should be able 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:45.480 to afford to live here. 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:50.359 And Barcelona had twenty six million tourists last year. It's 0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.439 a city of one point six million people, so that 0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:56.040 these are sizeable numbers of people. But are they not 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.600 biting the hand it feeds them to some degree? Because 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:04.520 to tourism is huge business for Europe. So you can say, look, 0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.439 it's become too expensive to live here, and I don't 0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:07.879 like that. 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:09.280 But if you took the. 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:14.480 Tourists away, what underpins the economy, particularly this time of 0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.400 year for these countries, they'd find themselves in recession, would 0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:18.679 they not? 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:19.280 Exactly? 0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:23.840 And in those Mediterranean states where they were protesting Spain, Portugal, Italy, 0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:30.040 tourism makes up to twenty percent of their GDP twenty percent, 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.080 millions and millions of jobs. If tourism was taken away, 0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.520 if those cashed up Aussies and Brits didn't get to 0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:39.680 go to Spain, then they would also suffer. So, yes, 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:43.200 things are more expensive, but you're also making more money. 0:28:43.480 --> 0:28:46.560 And tourism is also critical for Europe because they have 0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:51.720 barely any innovation. Their productivity is lagging they're extremely overregulated. 0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.080 It's hard to do business in any other sector other 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:58.720 than tourism and agriculture and a lot of these Mediterranean countries. 0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:00.880 So if they don't have that, what else do they have? 0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:03.000 Do these protesters want to get out onto the farm? 0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:03.760 I doubt it. 0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:05.360 I've got a lot of sympathy for these guys. 0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:08.160 You mentioned the stats, right, So Barcelona one point six 0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:11.720 million people living there, twenty six million tourists a year. 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:15.840 Santorini fifteen thousand people living there, three point four million 0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:19.000 tourists a year, Lisbon half a million people living there, 0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:22.080 six million tourists a year, compared to Sydney five and 0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:24.880 a half million people living here three point five million 0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:25.600 tourists a year. 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:27.760 So I can understand why they'd be upset. 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:30.680 So they're trying to take some measures to counter this, right, 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:34.920 So they're not anti tourists, they're just anti mass tourism 0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:38.520 that is unregulated and unchecked. In Venice, they've introduced a 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:42.959 tourism tax to try and mitigate some of the lifestyle 0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:46.760 factors that are impacted by huge numbers of people in Barcelona, 0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:50.320 that put regulations on airbnbs to try and mitigate the 0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:56.080 housing crisis caused by mass tourism. I like in Santorini, 0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:59.600 they've actually regulated who can and can't ride on donkeys 0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.240 because they had so many people arriving and needing to 0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:05.200 go up the hill on donkeys. There were complaints from 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:09.320 locals that donkeys' spinal injuries were through the roof, and. 0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:10.800 So now it's actually a regulation. 0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:15.000 Tourists who weigh one hundred killing rounds are not allowed 0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:16.480 to ride on donkeys. 0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:17.680 No Yanks allowed. 0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:21.120 Yeah, so they're put in sub mitigating strategy. But I understand, 0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:22.560 and the villain here is not the tourists. 0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:26.120 The villain is the socialist governments who have stripped manufacturing, 0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:28.760 gotten rid of all the jobs. They've created a massive 0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:30.479 welfare state and the only way to pay for it 0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:33.400 now is to show off the ruins of their culture. 0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:36.320 What about modern day now? What's happening now? 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.440 The villain is the socialist governments who've left these people 0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:42.040 with not much option now to make abut them to 0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:42.840 wait tables. 0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.640 Yeah, exactly right, And in that respect, I do feel 0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:46.120 bad for them. 0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:49.320 Their city has basically become a theme park rather. 0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.440 Than while they're mad it is. 0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:56.320 Yeah, here's another interesting story also coming out of Europe. 0:30:56.680 --> 0:31:03.200 Could sunlight become the next whapon and in global warfare? Well, 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:06.920 A leaked memos headed for Downing Street thinks it may. 0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.840 Technology is designed to combat global warming, mainly where you 0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:12.480 reflect sunlight back. 0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.720 Into the atmosphere could potentially. 0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:18.840 Be used by hostile powers in a form of geo 0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:25.320 re engineering to disrupt climate crops and cause mass catastrophic 0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:29.000 weather events. Essentially, it sounds pretty dire, but the UK 0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:32.760 government is taking this so seriously that they're spending about 0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:36.960 fifty seven million pounds on a research study into the 0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:42.560 potential for geore engineering through sunlight by hostile foreign powers. 0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:43.520 Yeah, we don't. 0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:46.720 Want to do soular geoengineering, but we're worried that others 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:48.440 might do it, so we're going to research and learn 0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:48.960 how to do. 0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.840 It ourselves, just so we know what our enemies might 0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:53.280 get up to. But this is ridiculous. 0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:56.480 Really, Russia is going to destroy the UK by producing 0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:57.400 an actual summer. 0:31:57.720 --> 0:32:00.280 That's their strategy. And what will the UK do if 0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:01.320 Russia are successful. 0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.280 They'll issue everyone with hats, so it'll be like the 0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:05.280 Iron Dome for people in Britain. 0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:06.959 They'll get a hat and they'll be fine. 0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:10.520 To attack the UK with sun, you have to have 0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.080 somen in the first instance. 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.640 Even Doctor Evil wouldn't go with a plan this stupid. 0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:18.440 No, you'd attack the UK or any other part of 0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.560 the world by making it rain all the time, because 0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:23.680 you can destroy the crops by doing that. 0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:25.680 It's already raining in the UK all the time. 0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:28.479 I know. Well, they actually over the last couple of years, 0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:32.800 they've had significant rainfall in the UK, to the point 0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:36.040 where it's like been the worst farming conditions that they've 0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:39.400 experienced in a century. Farmers saying we just can't do 0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:43.000 this anymore because we can't plant anything, we can't pull 0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:45.520 crops out of the ground, nothing is growing properly. So 0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:48.080 they've had serious problems in the last few years. So 0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:49.920 my worry would not be so much that they were 0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:51.880 going to allow you to have sun, because it would 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:53.880 be rather pleasant. But if you can find a way 0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:56.719 to manipulate the weather to cause lots and lots and 0:32:56.720 --> 0:33:00.680 lots and lots of rainfall, you can harm food security 0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:04.000 quite significantly. If you cut off the supply of foods 0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.440 from other parts of the world and then make it 0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:08.760 rain three hundred and sixty five days a year in 0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.960 the United Kingdom, they won't be able to sow seeds 0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.040 in the ground, and they won't be able to go 0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:15.920 they do this, that's what they want to do. 0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:18.680 I think you'd see the Russian plane flying across London, 0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:23.000 you know, spraying aerosol into the atmosphere, or well, seedy cloud. 0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:26.800 Who knows what technology we might have in ten, twenty, thirty, 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:29.640 forty fifty years time. I just want to say though, 0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:32.400 I mean, the idea of weather modification we were told 0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:36.040 was a conseriracy theory, right, it must be, you know, 0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:40.320 column A for the conspiracy theorists one hundred, column B 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:41.480 for the people who say it's all. 0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:43.560 Conspiracy theory zero at this point. 0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:46.400 Because every time there's a conspiracy theory like weather. 0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:48.440 Modification, it seems to come true. 0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:49.960 It's true. Let's go to Melbourne. 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:53.680 Now, we're never glad about a business going out of business. 0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:54.920 That's never a good thing. 0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:57.960 But there has been a bakery in Melbourne that's just 0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.880 shut their doors and it's a rather curious. The bakery 0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:05.560 is called All Are Welcome. There's three locations around Melbourne. 0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:08.360 This bakery came to our attention in the first instance 0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.280 because they used to advertise that they would be open 0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:14.279 on Australia Days. That they never called it Australia Day. 0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:18.279 They advertised will be open on Invasion Day, and they 0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:21.840 would put a little note on their Instagram adding sovereignty 0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:22.880 never seeded. 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.080 So this bakery was very. 0:34:24.840 --> 0:34:27.920 Keen to be seen to be on the right side 0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:31.719 of these sort of progressive issues. Well, now, sadly they've 0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:35.000 gone out of business. But what's interesting is they've left 0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:39.759 their approximately sixty staff almost four hundred thousand dollars out 0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:43.080 of pocket. According to a report by the ABC, this 0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:46.320 very woke bakery owes two hundred and forty three thousand 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:49.640 dollars in superannuation payments and about one hundred and twenty 0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:53.880 five thousand dollars in leave entitlements to their staff. So 0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:56.840 again not rejoicing they've gone out of business, Freyer, But 0:34:56.880 --> 0:35:00.360 it's a little interesting when you're signaling how virtual you 0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:02.799 are in terms of what happened in this country two 0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:06.239 hundred years ago, but can't pay your staff the superannuation 0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:07.600 they're owed today. 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:09.640 It's a little bit hypocritical. 0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:11.920 Well, it was definitely all a marketing ploy. 0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:15.040 If you look on their Instagram where that graphic was posted, 0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:18.400 that had over three hundred likes, whereas their typical post 0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:21.600 only has one to two hundred. So clearly the people 0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.880 of Inner Melbourne love that stuff and so the progressive 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:28.880 issues they drive business, whether or not they're actually committed 0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.920 to being virtuous in their own management of the business. 0:35:31.920 --> 0:35:33.920 WHI seems like people like the Instagram posts. They just 0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:36.160 didn't go there and buy the product, otherwise that you'll 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:36.760 be in business. 0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:39.200 I guess it's the old case of go work, go broke, 0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:39.600 isn't it. 0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:41.320 But my advice would. 0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:44.399 Be, if you want to signal your virtue, perhaps make 0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:46.480 sure you have some virtue in the first place. 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:47.839 We're going to go to a break. 0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:50.480 When we come back, we look at what's making headlines tomorrow, 0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:54.359 including Anthony Albanesi under real pressure now to increase our 0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:57.640 defense spending after he missed that meeting with Donald Trump 0:35:57.680 --> 0:35:58.359 at the G seven. 0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:08.759 That and more in just a moment, welcome back. 0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:11.319 Let's take a look at what's making headlines tomorrow, and 0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:13.640 of course, Freyer, most of the papers are talking about 0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:17.880 that G seven meeting and Anthony Albanese's missed schedule with 0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:19.000 Donald Trump. 0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:19.879 It's pretty huge. 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:24.000 The headline in the Australian says rock Starmer locks in 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:29.160 subs as PM MISSUS gig Anthony Albanezi will face extreme 0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:32.600 pressure to ramp up Australia's defense spending following Donald Trump's 0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:36.440 decision to cancel their long awaited meeting in Canada shortly 0:36:36.480 --> 0:36:40.359 after delivering British Prime Minister Keir Starmer tariff exemptions and 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.600 assurances on the future of the three hundred and sixty 0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:46.480 eight billion dollar or Casteele on the last day of 0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:49.279 his one week overseas trip. Geared around his first in 0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:52.160 person meeting with the US President, The Prime Minister was 0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.439 blindsided when the White House revealed mister Trump would leave 0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:59.400 the G seven summit too early to deal with the escalating. 0:36:59.000 --> 0:37:00.359 Israel Iran war. 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:04.680 Now can't blame Trump for leaving early to deal with 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:08.600 what could potentially turn into a global conflict, but it 0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:13.279 does underscore how low on the list of priorities for 0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:17.360 the US we in Australia are like. The meeting initially 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:20.120 was only supposed to be twenty minutes, which is pretty embarrassing. 0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:21.840 In the first place, it was at the back of 0:37:21.840 --> 0:37:23.880 the agenda. Now we're not even getting that well. 0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:27.040 Anthony Albanizi has been reduced to trying to pick up 0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:30.560 clues from Kios Starmer's meeting with Trump as to what's 0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:34.040 going to happen with Australia. Keir Starmer says that Orcus 0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:37.200 is going to be okay, So Albanezi is taking that 0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:40.279 as a hint that Trump believes that's where our relationship 0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:41.319 with the US is at. 0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:42.160 It's ridiculous. 0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.000 Penny Wong defended the Prime Minister as you would expect 0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:47.239 her to do, saying, well, you know, the fact he's 0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:49.839 missed this meeting is not a big deal. Trump missed 0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:52.799 meetings with other world leaders. But Anthony Albanzi has had 0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:57.120 three quote constructive phone calls with the US present. Well, 0:37:57.160 --> 0:37:59.640 if they were that constructive, why do we still not 0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:02.360 have anyemption on tariffs? Why are we're still not sure 0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:04.200 on the orcst submarine deal. 0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:05.320 They're the issues. 0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:08.160 We don't know what's happening, So they can't have been 0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:09.120 that constructive. 0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:12.160 Yeah, and also, you know, while I acknowledge, I understand 0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:15.359 why Trump left, and he didn't have to like get 0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:16.960 up from his dinner seat and. 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.160 Bugger off back to the United States straight away. 0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:22.640 It did he could have you know, organized twenty minutes 0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:25.640 with Albanzi on the way out, but that clearly was 0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:26.120 not at the. 0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:27.000 Top of his mind. 0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:30.560 And we should also note as well that Albanze has 0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:32.840 gone to the G seven, of which we are not 0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:36.080 a member, to be on the sidelines, so he can 0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.840 have twenty minutes with Trump. He's not gone to the 0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:42.319 White House like basically everyone else had. I mean even 0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:45.640 Cyril Ramaposa went to the White House for heaven's sake, 0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:48.560 and Albanesi has gone then now, of course. 0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:50.200 He's still in the region. 0:38:50.440 --> 0:38:53.240 Albaniese is in Canada at the moment, so he should 0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:55.080 be getting on the phone or his people should be 0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.440 getting on the phone to organize a meeting at the 0:38:57.480 --> 0:38:59.880 White House in the next few days if possible. 0:38:59.880 --> 0:39:01.759 And if we can't pull that off, we should be 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:02.400 asking why not. 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:04.880 If we had a decent relationship with our major Ally, 0:39:04.920 --> 0:39:07.160 Trump could have said, hey, it's a what three hour flight, 0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:09.239 jump on Air Force one, come for Arrival'll have a 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:11.120 chat on the way and then I'll be off in 0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:12.319 my office dealing with things. 0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:15.600 Part of me does think this is a negotiating tactic 0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:19.560 by Trump string Albanesi along to increase the pressure in 0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:21.359 Australia to actually. 0:39:21.000 --> 0:39:23.439 Come to the table and defense spending, so we'll see. 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:25.680 I don't think Trump will even consider meeting with him 0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:28.920 unless he actually changes the stance on lifting defense spending. 0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:32.360 Well, the next schedule is a UN meeting in September, 0:39:32.400 --> 0:39:34.560 So in vain, Anthony Alberizi is going to be pacing 0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:37.360 the corridors hoping for a chance meeting with the leader 0:39:37.400 --> 0:39:38.120 of the free world. 0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:43.040 It's embarrassing for Australia, but also in the Australian. On 0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:48.000 a similar note, Israel takes out Iran's military chief. Israel 0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:51.400 says it's killed Iran's top military commander as the nation's 0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:54.640 escalating war prompted Donald Trump to leave the g seventh 0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:58.239 Summon early, ordered a second carrier strike group to the 0:39:58.280 --> 0:40:02.880 Middle East and call for Tehran's evacuation. As Israel and 0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:06.440 Iran exchanged missile fire for a fifth consecutive day, there 0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:09.360 were growing fears the conflict could spiral out of control, 0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:14.080 with Tehran warning the US of unfathomable consequences if it 0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:17.480 joined the Jewish States attack. I mean, this is the 0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:21.240 difficult position Trump is in. Internally, within the MAGA movement, 0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:25.480 they're divided between the neocons, and the isolationists. But this 0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:29.000 really is the Western world's one chance to take out 0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:30.960 the head of the octopus of terror. 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:32.400 If they don't do it now, when are they going 0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:32.839 to do it. 0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:36.280 They're upset right because Trump promised not to drag America 0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:39.080 back into a foreign war. I think this is very different. 0:40:39.120 --> 0:40:41.279 He's not talking about putting troops on the ground. He's 0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:44.839 talking about using some specialized bombs. They have to once 0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:47.600 and for all eliminate the nuclear threat that Iran boses, 0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:51.520 not only to Israel but also to the United States. 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:53.560 I don't see why Mega people are upset about it. 0:40:53.880 --> 0:40:55.840 And I think we should be cleaned. Trump is not 0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:57.879 in isolations. There may be people in the Mega movement 0:40:57.920 --> 0:41:00.400 who are Trump is not an isolation think he's an 0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:04.000 anti interventionist. He doesn't want boots on the ground under 0:41:04.000 --> 0:41:07.080 any circumstances, and I think he's right from that perspective. 0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:09.279 But I think it was very interesting to see his 0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:14.080 post on Truth today, of course, saying evacuate Tehran now, 0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:16.400 and all the people who got in their cars and 0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.040 in the middle of the night drove out of Tehran 0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:22.160 at the mere thought that the US might do something 0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:23.040 over there, and. 0:41:23.000 --> 0:41:27.480 We should note Israel taking out the military leader of Iran. 0:41:27.920 --> 0:41:30.480 That's the second time they've done that in just five days. 0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:31.959 And that's the other thing. 0:41:32.320 --> 0:41:35.200 Just quickly on this note, the MAGA camp doesn't want 0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:37.920 to be dragged into an unwinnable war. But this is 0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:40.520 one of the longest wars Israel's ever been in. Normally 0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:43.640 there wars last around six days, so it's very different 0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:45.560 to going into Afghanistan or Iraq. 0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:46.000 Inde. 0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:48.359 Let's go to the front page of the Adelaide Advertiser. 0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:53.880 Ozempick use in kids skyrockets. The number of children injecting 0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:58.480 prescription drug ozempeck to manage diabetes has risen nine hundred 0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:03.000 percent in three years in South Australia, prompting alarmed gps 0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:07.640 to warn families to tackle diet before drugs. The startling 0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:10.480 jump in children as young as twelve being prescribed the 0:42:10.560 --> 0:42:14.280 anti diabetes JAB is revealed in data obtained by the Advertiser, 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:18.240 showing an increase from eleven to one hundred and eleven 0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:20.040 over a three year period. 0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:21.440 That's where statistics get you. 0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:22.920 A little bit, isn't it that you read You think nine 0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:26.000 hundred percent, Well, it's gone from eleven to one hundred 0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:29.280 and eleven. Doctors, to be fair, are still worried. 0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:29.879 I'm just not sure. 0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:32.319 Is the worry that so many more children have been 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.719 diagnosed with diabetes or is the worry that they're being 0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:40.799 prescribed as particular drug rather than being put on a 0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:44.440 diet to try and alleviate some of the It's probably both. 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:45.920 Because the story goes on to say that, you know, 0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:50.640 there's concerned that they're using other similar drugs, including off label, 0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:53.839 which means they're not being used for diabeteses there being 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.480 used for weight loss, and so you know, the numbers 0:42:56.560 --> 0:43:00.240 might have jumped from eleven to one hundred and eleven in. 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:00.840 A few years. 0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:03.640 But you look at the use of a zempic now 0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:06.600 across adults, I mean it has increased exponentially in the 0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:08.840 last twelve months, and these are the numbers from twenty 0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:11.040 twenty four, So you would just expect that these would 0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:15.319 keep increasing, increasing, increasing. If you're starting kids on a 0:43:15.400 --> 0:43:18.000 zim pick now, if you want to maintain that weight 0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:20.680 loss forever, you've basically got to stay on a zimpic 0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:22.040 for the rest of your life. 0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:23.920 Is that really the merry ground we want to put 0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:24.319 kids on? 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:24.719 Yeah? 0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:27.120 But trying to get kids to stick to a diet 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:30.440 as well would be virtually impossible, so maybe this is 0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:31.080 the best option. 0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:32.840 Well, you know that's a bit of parenting. 0:43:32.880 --> 0:43:34.960 I think let's go to the Cans Post where it 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:37.960 says a common user facility in Dowd ahead of budget 0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.600 off the cuff, the Far North will miss the boat 0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:43.359 on major defense contracts and thousands of new jobs if 0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:46.600 the state government fails to commit to building critical marine 0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:50.360 infrastructure in the region. The Member for Cans Michael Healey 0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:54.319 in set says, I think it's the inset really that. 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:55.560 Is the point of this story. 0:43:55.600 --> 0:43:57.960 I mean, they haven't just put this photo on the 0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:00.960 front page of the Cans Post for nothing, because you 0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:03.920 can see Michael Learly there has rocked up to a 0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:06.080 pressa in his shorts. 0:44:06.520 --> 0:44:06.759 Now. 0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:10.520 I know it gets pretty warm up per in Cans, 0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:14.680 but we're in winter at the moment, and you know, 0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:19.000 you sort of get to mid sometimes high twenties up 0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:21.120 in Queensland at this time of year. 0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:24.359 It's a bit rich to be rocking up in your 0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:26.600 bodies to a press conference, isn't it. 0:44:26.640 --> 0:44:28.719 I think he's expecting to do a radio interview, not 0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:31.839 a television interview, and the podium is standing behind did 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.279 not provide anywhere near as much cover caliber as this 0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:35.080 desk provided. 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.040 Exactly the sorts you wear on the show. 0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:39.680 Hey, what are you talking about? I've got Chino's on 0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:40.640 under ear, Thank. 0:44:40.520 --> 0:44:41.120 You very much. 0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:43.600 He clearly just thought he was still working from home. 0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:46.840 He had the business up top, party down the bottom. 0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:50.239 But just finally, in the Canbra Times, Summer NATS is 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:53.319 too noisy. Noisy events at Summer NAT's, the annual car 0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:56.160 event that attracts more than one hundred thousand people to Canberra, 0:44:56.360 --> 0:45:00.719 cannot practicably comply with im post sound limits, an independent 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:04.680 assessment has found. I mean, perhaps the solution is they 0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:09.480 all just jump in their Chinese electric vehicle and whoosh 0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:11.960 around a memory silence. 0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:13.680 That will be a very unpopular event. 0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:16.400 But could you get any more Canberra than overpaid public 0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:20.560 servants complaining about people coming along to enjoy themselves at Samminets. 0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:22.560 It's Australia, goddamn it. 0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:25.680 Let us enjoy our noisy cars for as long as 0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:26.960 they continue to exist. 0:45:27.239 --> 0:45:28.920 Absolutely, we're going to go to a break when we 0:45:28.960 --> 0:45:31.720 come back. Hollywood, A just no, not a bit. Pamela 0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:33.560 Anderson is in a brand new movie. We'll show you 0:45:33.600 --> 0:45:39.799 a clip in just a moment. Politicians are usually very 0:45:39.800 --> 0:45:42.359 careful to appear polished and in control, but I want 0:45:42.400 --> 0:45:44.760 to show you something that happened at the G seven 0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:49.399 meeting when Trump signed a trade deal with Kirstarma from 0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:50.000 the UK. 0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:52.759 It wasn't Trump's best moment. He said he'd signed a 0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:54.040 trade deal with the EU. 0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:56.719 Of course it's the UK and the UK are part 0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:59.240 of the EU. And then to make matters worse, Trump 0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:02.719 um the freshly signed agreement all over the ground. But 0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:06.480 worse was for Kirs Starmer. You know how reluctant Western 0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:09.800 leaders are to be seen kow towing to the US president. 0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:14.040 We all know the great Prime Minister of the UK, 0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:16.520 and we just signed a document. 0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:18.319 This is about that. 0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:23.360 This is it very important document. 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:24.879 A little. 0:46:26.440 --> 0:46:29.400 We just saying it and it's done, and so we 0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:33.000 have our trade agreement with the European Union. 0:46:34.239 --> 0:46:38.160 Well immediately images of that interaction went viral online from 0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:42.000 KOs Starmer's opponents, accusing him of bowing down to Donald Trump, 0:46:42.080 --> 0:46:44.680 kow towing to the US leader. 0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:46.520 And doing whatever Trump wanted. 0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:50.080 I suspect those images will haunt Kirs Starmer for quite 0:46:50.120 --> 0:46:52.400 some time, though kind he was just being polite. 0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:54.600 Well, that's right, he was just picking up the papers. 0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:57.920 I mean, you know he's a conscientious man, is sir 0:46:58.040 --> 0:47:00.960 Ki is starmer who doesn't want the world. 0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:02.719 I don't think you can blame him for that. 0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:06.359 While we're talking about Donald Trump, we know that he's 0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:09.000 a big businessman. But while he's president, he's handed it 0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:12.120 over to his sons, Don Junior and Eric to carry 0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:14.640 on the Trump business. And they see all sorts of 0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:17.680 stuff picking off the back of mister Trump. Of course 0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:20.400 watches all sorts of Now they're doing mobile phones, a 0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:23.640 gold mobile phone. No less, you will be able to 0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:27.520 buy the Donald Trump gold iPhone with the big T 0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.520 on the back. I'm sure they'll be flying off the shelves. 0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:33.640 They're also going to start a mobile phone service, Trump 0:47:33.920 --> 0:47:36.799 Mobile lo'ks like it was all predicted on Saturday Night 0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:37.719 Live ten years ago. 0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:44.520 Guys getting in on this.

Don't you to run 0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:05.000 out and buy a gold Trump iPhone. 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:09.560 That's even if it is physically possible. To fully manufacture 0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:12.239 an iPhone in the US, which experts seem to say 0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:13.279 it's absolutely not. 0:48:13.800 --> 0:48:15.880 But never let reality. 0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:18.080 Get in the way of a good business idea, especially 0:48:18.120 --> 0:48:22.400 when you're a Trump. In other news, Hollywood Bombshell, Pamela 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:26.200 Anderson is back on the big screen in the sequel 0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:28.880 to the Naked Gun series. 0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:32.160 Check out this trailer over here. 0:48:32.160 --> 0:48:35.520 The tenant, I think someone murdered my brother.
