WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 29 October 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:04.480 General Man, welcome the late base. 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:07.160 Well, good evening. 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.960 I'm James Macpherson with Lizta and Caleb Bond. Great to 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:13.160 have your company. We all know that Australia is becoming 0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.280 a highly litigious society, but of course the United States 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.319 is next level. We'll talk a bit later about a 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:21.560 woman who's swing an airline because they served her an 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.640 inflight ice cream without telling her it was icy. 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:26.239 Get to that a little later. 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.200 Plus, when we look at the papers, the COVID pandemic 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:33.559 Response report has been released. It's pretty scathing of the 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:37.640 pandemic response, describing it as a betrayal of trust. And 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.440 Anthony Albinezi is not the only labor MP receiving freebies 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.559 from quantas who knew. We'll get to all of that 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.600 when we look at tomorrow's newspapers, but first, the Victorian 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.080 government is set to introduce major changes to its judicial 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.920 system in a bid to protect complainants in domestic violence 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:59.520 and sexual abuse cases from being re traumatized by the 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.920 court's says. The proposed changes mean complainants would not be 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:08.320 allowed to be cross examined before a trial, so instead 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.720 of giving evidence at a committal hearing and then again, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.279 if the matter was deemed worthy of going to court, 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.760 they would only need to give evidence at a trial. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.720 The Attorney General in Victoria, Jacqueline Symes, said survivors of 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:28.520 sexual offenses, stalking and family violence deserve justice, not further trauma. 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.440 These reforms will ease the burden of repeated testimony, helping 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.559 them move through court proceedings and get on with their lives. 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.360 Committal proceedings have evolved over time, she said, the need updating. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.039 That's why we're modernizing them by streamlining processes and removing 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.280 the committal test now, calebn Lis, I'm sure you would 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.320 agree it's a noble endeavor to try to make the 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.240 court process as easy as possible, particularly for people who 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.360 are later found to have been victims of things as 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.960 horrific as sexual abuse. But of course we've also got 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.080 a legal system that is and must continue to be 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.200 based on a presumption of innocence, which would seem to 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:11.240 be violated if you're moving an accusation straight to trial 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:17.240 without a committal process. On top of that, procedural fairness demands, 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.480 does it not that if you're accused, you should be 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.360 allowed to examine the evidence against you before you find 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.160 yourself on trial, and of course then there's always the 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.200 matter of unintended consequences where you could end up with 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.960 matters going to court that should never have gone to 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.560 court in the first place, which just clogs up the 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.280 courts and ends up costing taxpayers a lot of money. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.960 So it's a fine idea and I think we'd all 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.480 support the intention, sure, but is it really something that's 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.760 workable and does it keep the integrity of the court system. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:52.600 Firstly, what on earth is going on in Victoria? Just 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.280 last week we discovered that they are slashing the amount 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.280 of children's courts in Victoria by more than half bite 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.640 youth crime in Victoria being at a fourteen year high. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.760 Last night we were talking about Victorian magistrates being lectured 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:14.520 on how to sentence a non citizen child molesta in 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.720 such a way that it won't result in their deportation, 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.600 And tonight we're talking about this potential new move in 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:26.680 their courts, which, like you say, wonderful, wonderful aim. We 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.720 can all get around that, but at the end of 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:34.960 the day, this unquestionably erodes the rights of the accused. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:36.760 How on earth is a. 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.640 Defense team supposed to put their case together without asking 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.400 the necessary questions. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.800 Before trial, because if we are. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:48.080 Going without cross examination, that's exactly what we're talking about. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.600 And cross examination is so important also because not all 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.680 accusers are entirely honest, and that's what they are at 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.400 this point in the game. They are complainants. They are 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.000 not victors. Nothing has been proved in a court of law. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:08.360 So this complainant gets to state their case and that's it, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.160 and how on earth is a judge then supposed to 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:16.160 come to a clue as to whether this is trial worthy. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.240 This will undoubtedly also end up in more trials then, 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:25.360 because you don't want to risk telling a potential legitimate victim, Sorry, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.560 your case doesn't sound legit enough, We're just going to 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.760 clear up the courts, not send all these to trial, 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.479 and well, sorry about that. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.800 You don't get your proper day in court. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.080 So whichever way you look at this, it seems to 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.640 be completely ineffective. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:49.640 Well, Jacquelin Simes has suggested that this would help prevent trials. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.640 She says she wants fewer trials to go ahead. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.760 Now, there is one means by which this could possibly 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.880 result in fewer trials, and that is that you simply 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.279 plead guilty in the first instance, instead of pleading not 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.159 guilty and then going to a trial. Because of course, 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.520 what we're talking about here is cases that would end 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.960 up at trial that haven't been tested before going there. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.359 So if you go, well, hell, I know I'm going 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.440 to have to go through all this nonsense anyway, there's 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.120 no chance that this might be thrown out at the 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.000 committal stage. Then I'm just going to plead guilty and 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.280 let's just get it over with, ill cop, whatever the 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.200 damage is here, because I don't want to go through 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.440 the further damage that going to a trial will cause me. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.240 The legal system, the justice system is based on a 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.320 very basic principle of innocent until proven guilty, and of 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.080 course it is far better for ten guilty men to 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.400 go free than for one innocent man to be locked 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.400 up or woman for that matter, or they them as 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.599 it might be in the current circumstances. And I know 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.800 that is uncomfortable for some people, and everyone feels like 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.080 if they are a victim, that they ought to be 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.200 vindicated by the court. But you cannot have such a 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.800 system without also locking up people who ought not be there. 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.160 I know it's difficult to understand, but it is the 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.680 least worst option to have a system that properly tests 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:19.800 everything and if it meets the required threshold, well yes 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.719 you're off to jail and you've got the new South 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.440 Wales DPP, for instance, in recent years has been accused 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.599 of running rape cases in particular which they knew they 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:35.159 had no chance of actually achieving a conviction. There have 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.880 been inquiries into all of this because the DPP has 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.760 wasted its time on cases that simply could not achieve 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.800 a result. That's what the committal stage is for, so 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.599 the court can look at it and go, hang on, 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.320 we don't have enough evidence here that if it goes 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.919 to trial that anything could possibly be achieved. So you 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.160 end up in more public money being spent. You end 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.320 up with victims potentially being left up the garden path, 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.400 or alleged victims being led up the garden path and 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.440 told by the DPP whatever the equivalent is in Victoria 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.320 that you don't worry, They're going to plead not guilty 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.880 and we'll go to trial and it'll all be hunky dory. Well, 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:17.400 a case that could potentially have been sorted six months earlier, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.880 they'll actually have to go through the full trial stage. 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.280 And then get to a decision of not guilty because 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.720 they didn't have enough evidence to begin with. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.120 Tell me how that's good for victim. 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.040 Back to the intention of trying to do good for victims. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.280 If they really want to do that, the better way 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.840 rather than mucking around with a committal process, is up 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.480 the punishments and the sentencing for those who are found 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.760 guilty of domestic violence of sexual abuse, and make the 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.560 sentencing reflect the community outrage and the seriousness of these crimes. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.400 If you want to support victims, do that, punish these perpetrators, 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.600 do it harshly, have mandatory sentencing, and I think the 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.000 community would be much more satisfied. And that's a better 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.960 way to show compassion to victims. Give out proper sentence. 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.360 Yeah, but as we discussed last night, that's not necessarily 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.320 the first thing in the minds of the judiciary in 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:07.480 Victoria at the moment. 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.480 As Liz described before, some extraordinary. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.000 Stuff keeps coming out of that state, and of course 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.240 it always seems to come out of Victoria. Now let's 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:18.120 turn our attention to the United States. It is precisely 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.720 a week until ballots will be cast over there, and 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.960 I know you're waiting for it just as much as 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.000 I Am Kamala Harris has realized. Despite a week ago 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.520 in an interview with the NBC playing down the fact 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.560 that she has a problem with male votes, she's finally 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.560 realized that she does. Now. The polling at the moment 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.320 shows that Harris leads with women fifty. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.160 Four percent, but it's forty two percent with. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.960 Men, whereas with Trump it is forty one percent with 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.920 women and fifty five percent with men, particularly young men. 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.120 And that is important because people will try to spin 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.760 all of this that, oh, it's a sexist thing, that, oh, 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.640 my god, men don't want to vote for a war. No, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.400 it's not about men not wanting to vote for a woman, 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.560 particularly young men who've been raised in an era of 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.480 equality more than anyone else who's come before them. No, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.880 they're reacting to the culture in the United States, and 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.120 they can actually see through the fact that Biden has 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.559 been a total disaster and Harris would be a continuation 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.440 of that. But let's get back to the point. She's 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.080 finally realized she has a problem. So she sits down 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.120 with Gretchen Whitner, who's a governor in the United States, 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:33.080 and trying to have just a quiet conversation in a 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:34.400 public place. 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:40.680 We have. 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.280 Everything. They didn't realize that. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.080 All these boom mics, I didn't realize they were there. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.720 Is she genuinely the stupidest person to have run for president? 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:58.200 That was either entirely deliberate to put some sort of 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.600 message out there that, you know, the is something going 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.360 on with men here. We've got to turn this around, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.240 or she is genuinely dumb. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.640 I'm not sure which is worse. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.120 Straight after that clip that we show, she leans back 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.280 and she says, we're drinking a beer, and then she 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.960 uses an expletive, which is clearly an appeal to men 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.960 to say, you know, I'm just like you guys. 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.000 We're all so manly here, look at us with our 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:20.400 beer and swear. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.240 But I mean, they do have a problem with men. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.800 Sixty percent of registered Democrats women, and half of those 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.280 are college educated, and all the latest research says that 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:35.000 college educated women are much more concerned about LGBTQ rights 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.160 and about equality than men. And I went on the 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.880 Democrats website. They've got a section that it says who 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:47.320 we serve, and they've got sixteen demographics listed. I won't 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.920 read them all, but here's a taste, African Americans, Americans 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:55.480 with disabilities, Latinos, Native Americans, the LGBTQ community, young people, students, women. 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.400 We can go on on sixteen different demographic groups. You 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.840 know the one that is missing though, no men, no men, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.040 men not. Is that an oversight or is this libriate? 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.040 They could have just used one word that encompassed all 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:10.640 of them. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.800 Americans, Americans, sub Americans. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.240 How hard would that doo? 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.480 We stand for, which is what everyone wants to hear. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.240 If someone is running for the president of your country 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.920 or prime minister in our case, you just say I 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.120 stand to represent all Australians. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:27.760 You don't want to. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:32.760 Hear someone being like these categories in particular. And when 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.360 you look at how strongly she's leading with the female 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.160 vote it's fifty four to Trump's forty two. I think 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.960 it is such a sound argument for us to do 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.319 away with the female vote. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.240 I know I known't hear me out. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:49.560 Though hear me out because across the Western world, which 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.440 is basically the only places women can vote, they always 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.199 side with the left. I can only speak for myself, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.199 but I'm happy to give it up with those of 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.640 their main concerns. Do you think of how it would 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:09.400 transform politics in the West if all these politicians weren't 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:14.840 trying to appeal to these women rather than population roughly 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.920 fifty presented the population to try and appeal to them 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.640 with all their we care about lefty issues. I do 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:26.960 declare that even if the suffragettes knew just how badly 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.240 the right that they were fighting for wouldn't be abused 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.360 in the future, and how badly it would have so 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:38.320 many poor outcomes for the Western Empire that once was, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.120 they may not have four they may not have fought 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.640 so violently. Indeed, some of them died in the pursuit 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.240 of this cause. I genuinely think whenever I see these 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:54.440 polls and it happens every single Western election where women 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.280 are like, we just found all the touchy feely issues 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.920 and we're going to vote for the left, I'm like, 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.319 you know what, I would be more than happy to 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.160 just go leave it to the men for the greater 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.079 good Ian. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:08.760 Will she is. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.839 You know, I never know what's going to come out 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.800 of your mouth, but I've got to say tonight you've 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:13.880 totally surprised you. 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.680 Specifically specifically with this election. Right, so we know the 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.760 Dems ran very hard on abortion, and we've once again 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.360 found out you give women the vote, their number one 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.760 political concern is being able to eliminate their progeny unborn. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:33.240 And once again I'm just like again, I'd happily leave 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:33.559 it to. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.520 The men, because then you have entire powerful political parties. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.560 But bending over backwards, almost running on a single issue. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.240 That's what the Dems have done this time round. It's 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.760 a highly emotive issue, it's a highly controversial issue. They 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.080 knew exactly what they were doing, and I do not 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:54.840 believe given the sheer state of Kamala Harris that had 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.240 not been one of the bastions, if not the bastion 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.720 of the Democratic camp pain, that woman vote would not 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:02.439 be this high. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:03.080 Period. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.360 Well, I can't buy too much into into the where 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.360 the women should have the vote discussion, because that's no. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.320 I don't advise it away from that. I assume you 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:13.520 identify as a woman. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:18.000 I just want to check I do not identify woman. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.200 But it would be the same if it was Biden 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.880 still running, right, And I think to go to the 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:28.000 women's issue thing, right, because there's there's an expectation among 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.680 someone we go back to Hillary's campaign, who was it 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.240 that the name escapes me. Famous feminist said, you know, 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.600 any woman who doesn't support other women has a special 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.320 place in hell. I can't remember who it was it 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.000 was campaigning for Hillary at the time. I'm sure someone 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.040 will be able to send me an email very quickly 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.600 and tell me who it was. But if it was 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:52.400 a female Republican candidate, you wouldn't see the same results 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.240 in terms of the great support from women, because it's 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.240 not about the woman or man thing. It's about the 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.440 left right, and as you said, particularly people who have. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:02.400 A college education. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.760 And speaking of women for Kamala Harris, she had such 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.120 a rally rally might be a stretch, but anyway, she 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.920 has such a rally in Michigan. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.120 Women for Harris and Watts and have a look at 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:17.880 the turnout. 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.880 Let's get to work and get out the vote for 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:22.800 Kamala Harris and Jim Wallace. 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.040 I mean, what a ripper that is. Compare and contrast 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:33.680 with Trump. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.840 I'm not going to talk about women for Trump if 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.600 for the allegations to be believed, there are plenty of 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.560 women who have been interested in Trump over the years. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.120 But I mean, you know, if that's the best she 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.080 can pull in terms of if she's leading the female 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.720 votes so well, and she has a woman for Harris 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.520 rally and that's the best do I mean? It would 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.280 seem that across the board, the enthusiasm for Harris has 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.080 just died, Like in the last month, the enthusiasm has 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.000 just totally gone away. All of that wind that she 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.640 got behind her when she replaced Biden has disappeared, and 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:16.800 she's in serious true. 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.040 We're looking at the tiny crowd she was addressing there. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.560 It reminded me, was it just last week that she 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.760 abused a Christian who dared to voice out opposition lord 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:31.040 to her abortion policy, and she chastigated this Christian saying, 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.040 I think there's a smaller meeting down the road that 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.760 you can't get much smaller than Kamala Harris. 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:36.680 I don't think we've. 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.680 Seen any Trump gatherings being smaller than the dam gatherings. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.960 Can you remember how small they were back into twenty 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.880 twenty when Biden was running and we just kept looping 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:52.000 footage of these tiny little get together as people going here, 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:56.400 I go Biden. Hardly anyone showed out for him. But 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.040 if you needed any further proof that the mail in 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.440 ballot voting system in America is forraught. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.160 Look no further than this headline. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:12.359 One mail in ballot's box has been lit on fire 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.960 in Oregon and another in Washington, very very blue states these. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.800 Oregon has voted Democratic in the last eight federal elections. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:27.919 Washington has been blue since nineteen eighty eight. So you 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:32.199 do wonder who lit these on fire and why. But 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.440 it also points to this ridiculous system, right because here 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.720 in Australia we two have mail in ballots, but you. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.639 Just put them in a normal post office box. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.920 It's only in America they advertise this is a mail. 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.680 In ballot box. Put all your mail in. 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:55.760 Ballots here, enabling someone with nefarious intentions to then just 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:01.440 drop a little flame inside. Here's what the Tomaha County 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:06.520 Elections Division said about their fire. Fire suppressant inside the 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.680 ballot box protected virtually all the ballots they reckon. Only 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:14.359 three ballots were damaged. Voters should be assured that even 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.880 if their ballots were in the affected box, their votes 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.440 will be counted. But take a look at this footage 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:25.640 of the box in Washington. Something tells me that these 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.880 ballots won't be able to be counted. 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.159 We're basically talking about a pile of ashes there. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:38.119 Washington says that potentially hundreds of ballots were burnt to 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.439 a crisp Why can't these guys just come up with 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:42.920 the same system as. 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.440 Ows, where their normal. 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:48.920 Postal mailing system is making sure these ballots arrive safely, 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.800 as opposed to special postage boxes where they're like, hey, 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:57.200 if you want to mess with the election result, mess 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:58.639 with these boxes. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.600 You're advertising for trouble. 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.560 The other strange thing about this is you can't do 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:07.280 anything anywhere without CCTV footage capturing you, right, and yet 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.560 here are these ballot boxes, which, as you rightly point out, 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.640 basically is a big sign saying if you want to mess. 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.159 With the election, here's where to do it. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.239 You'd think that'd have some cameras on the thing, but 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.239 there's no vision, there's no footage. So it looks like 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.840 these two instances are connected. It's clearly deliberate, it's nefarious, 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:25.960 but there's no clue as to who's doing this. 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.560 Or what They did find the same volvo, and no 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.639 doubt that was due to CCTV footage. I'm sure whoever 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.840 did this was smart enough to wear a ballet, lava 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:34.600 or something. 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.280 Confirms everything I've always thought about Volvo driver. 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.560 Which is what everyone knows. That are a few Volvo drivers. 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.000 My sister drives a Volved. Now we know what you're 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.520 thinking your system. Hello person. 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.480 I always thought Volvo drivers were boring people. I didn't 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:53.359 think they'd have it in them. 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.440 Oh, come on, classy car. 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:58.879 Hello to Peter Gooz. 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.480 If you're watching South Australian viewers will know who I'm 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.920 talking about. He's been driving around in a banged out 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.920 old Volve over about fifty years. But it just goes 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.840 to prove how divided the United States is that you 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.400 would take it upon yourself to go and set fire 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.680 to other people's balance, Like it would be one thing 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.160 to try and steal the box or try and break 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.160 into it and take those ballot papers away, to actually 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:25.520 set fire to it. 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.320 What you're not just saying, oh, I'm. 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.480 Setting fire to some voting papers. You're actually saying, I 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.760 want to set fire to democracy. You are trying to 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.920 subvert the system of democracy. That is what that means. 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.160 And whether they meant that symbolism or not, I don't know, 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:42.960 but it was a pretty good example of it. 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:44.800 If that's what they meant, I mean that is I 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.480 could not think of anything. 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.920 Well, I probably could think of something more disgraceful, but 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.040 it is hard to think of an act that is 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:55.240 so overt in saying I want to do away with 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:59.240 democracy then literally setting fire to ballot paper. 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.719 But if that's what their intention was, why on earth 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.920 would you do it in two dead blue states? 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.840 They have been blue forever. Nobody is thinking that these 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.440 two states are going to flip. We're talking about Oregon 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.040 and Washington. 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:18.000 So if you wanted to subvert democracy, you'd at least 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.760 be smart enough to try this on in a swing state. 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:23.600 We don't know. 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.920 That's like, this is going to be the dumbest arsonist ever. 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.200 The rumor online is that it's Antifa who are responsible, 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.359 who have the stated goal of making America ungovernable. But 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.520 no one ever argued that ANTIQUA members were smart. So 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.560 there you go, speaking of no one ever arguing that 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.520 such and such are smart. Let's talk about local government, 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.800 which continues to provide much amusement. In South Australia, a 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:51.920 council staffer is suing the council for workers' compensation. Now, 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:55.119 many of us work from home, and it's. 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:56.000 Quite a privilege. 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.439 This particular council worker was working from home and at 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:03.000 the same time minding a colleague's dog, so the council 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.879 worker put up at home a little sixty centimeter metal 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.520 fence to make sure the colleague's dog, which she was 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.520 mining while working from home, didn't get to her rabbit 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:16.040 at her home arrangements well, during a coffee break one morning, 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:18.680 she tripped over the fence that she herself had erected, 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.480 hurting her leg, having to go to hospital by ambulance, 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:27.960 and now she successfully sued the council for workers' compensation. 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:32.720 When the first hearing occurred, the insurer maintained that the 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.239 erection of the pet fence across the walkway, creating a 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:40.760 clear and unusual hazard without the council's direction or approval, 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.679 meant the injury was not caused by her employment. But 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.480 the woman went to the South Australian Employment Court and 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.560 they found that she had created the hazard. The hazard 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:53.679 was not known to council, and yet that did not 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:58.040 mean that it was unrelated to her employment, because they 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:02.320 said the council had encouraged flexible working arrangements from home 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.800 and had actually said that you could take regular breaks 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:09.080 when working at home and quote unquote enjoy time with 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.880 your dog. So she tripped over a fence she'd created 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.360 to enjoy time with her colleagues's dog. The council are 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:20.879 now responsible and a compensation payout will be determined in 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:26.440 the coming weeks. I mean, personal responsibility is completely gone now. 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:29.239 I remember years ago a maid of mine who if 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:31.359 I named him, you would know who this is, and 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.320 he was staying it I think, at novertel and it 0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:35.520 was raining one night. He got back to the hotel, 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:37.560 he got out of the taxi and he slipped on 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:41.920 the driveway, hurting his ankle, and he was telling me 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:43.560 I soon and I got to pay out for such 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:46.760 and such, And I remember being flabbergasted that you would 0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:48.359 even I would never even thought. 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:48.879 To have done that. 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:51.840 I mean, it was raining, I slept in the rain 0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:55.600 exactly understood. Well, they'll be liable and it's it's all 0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.159 just insurance, right, But of course we all end paying 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.359 through the nose every time we have to pay our 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:01.000 own premium. 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:02.760 I can't remember the name of the case now, but 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:04.920 when I was a court report, you'd come across these 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:08.000 weird sort of workers' compo cases, and the case law 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.919 would always refer back to someone who would suit a 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:15.040 supermarket for having slipped on something on the floor in there. 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.560 I can't remember it's quite a famous case. But I mean, 0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:21.160 this should be the end of working from home. I've 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:25.480 been campaigning for this for so long. This should be 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.840 the nail in the coffin for working from home, because 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:32.040 if this is to be followed through, and this sets 0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:36.920 the precedent, that means that employers are now responsible for 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:41.600 the workplace, that being people's houses and the condition that 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.440 those houses are kept in. And I put to one 0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:47.400 of our bosses earlier today that because I do. 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:50.640 A portion of my work from home, like I come. 0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:53.280 Into the studio at night, but during the day we're 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.679 working out what stories we're going to talk about, and 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:57.919 we have phone calls and all this sort of stuff 0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:59.400 that's work I'm doing from home. 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:00.800 So I climb up. 0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:04.440 The stairs, half pissed in the afternoon and do myself 0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:05.520 a miss day drinking. 0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:07.600 Are we out and happened? 0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:10.400 That explains a number of our phone calls. I might 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:11.920 have had a couple of glasses as much. 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:14.560 But anyway, if I go up the stairs and give 0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.640 myself above me, does that then mean that Sky News 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.359 is responsible because that was an injury I sustained in 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.879 my workplace. If that is seriously the precedent that is 0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:28.160 now going to be said, why would any business ever 0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:31.119 allow anyone to work from home without I don't know, 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:34.080 seeting an ock health and safety officer out to inspect 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:36.439 your house proper and make sure that it's up to 0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:37.840 spec It's just insane. 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:42.080 What means this story even crazier is that she had 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:45.560 erected this sixty centimeter fence in. 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:48.320 The doorway off her home office just. 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:52.600 The day before, so she put it up the day 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.639 after she trips over it. So how was her workplace 0:25:56.720 --> 0:26:00.760 ever supposed to know that this had occurred? But get this, 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:05.399 she also had neglected, at any point in her working 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:08.560 from home tenure, to fill out the form that the 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:13.399 employer had given her regarding the required working from home 0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:16.760 safety checklist. If you've worked from home at any point, 0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.320 your employer has probably required you to fill in one 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:22.080 of these. I know during COVID I had to because 0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:25.199 that's their due diligence done. So not only has she 0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.359 never filled it in, but the day before she tripped 0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:30.280 over it was the day she put it up. 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.000 How can they possibly be liable for this? 0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:36.960 By this line of reasoning, I could put up some 0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:40.960 sort of laser beam. I don't know, those the ones 0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:42.600 that you see in spy movies where you've got to 0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:45.359 crawl through all the lasers. Put it up in my house, 0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:46.800 be working from. 0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:47.280 Home that day. 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:50.720 Forget I've put it up, burn myself to a crisp, 0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:52.560 and sue my employer. 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:54.640 That is exactly what you'd expect this story. Most people 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:56.160 would put up like a little metal fence. 0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:57.719 You put up late laser beams. 0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:00.000 I got to keep that bunny rabbit safe. 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:01.440 When you talk about you know, you have to fill 0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:03.159 out all this working from home stuff, and we have 0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.200 to do it at Sky right. It takes forever. You're 0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:07.280 on your laptop and they say, you know, have you 0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:09.640 made sure your chair is ergonomically comfortable? 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:11.679 Why on earth are we having to do all this? 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:12.760 Now we know why. 0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:18.080 It's employers trying to protect themselves from unscrupulous employees such 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:19.520 as you said that you would be. 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:21.480 Well, I didn't say I would be unscrupulous. 0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:22.679 That sounds that you already are. 0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:24.199 I was just saying. 0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:27.239 I was just saying, if it ever eventuates, I just 0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.600 know what I can do now. James was doodling away 0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:31.800 on his piece of paper there while Liz was talking 0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.200 look like a pram or something, So you're already planning 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.320 what you're got rammed. 0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:38.880 The other lesson from this for employers is when you're 0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:42.199 interviewing people, you really need to be careful that the 0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:44.760 kind of people you're interviewing are not the sort of 0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:49.520 people who would be likely to complain Wine Wings lead 0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.080 Laques shift, go legal it the first thing. 0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:55.840 Lead question, lead the questioning all interviews from now on. 0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:58.600 Do you plan on building any things in your living room? 0:27:59.000 --> 0:27:59.919 Or the memes. 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:03.280 So now we know the circumstance under which you can 0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:04.159 get compensation. 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:07.320 You fall over a fence that you built in your. 0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:10.600 Own home and the worker compo comes through. So people 0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:13.199 who'd like a bit more compensation of farmers down in 0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.239 Victoria Now we've known for a long time that there 0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:19.399 will have to be swathes of new power lines built 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:22.960 through the middle of Victoria for an interconnector between Victoria 0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:26.000 and New South Wales in order to make the grid 0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:28.640 work with all this new renewable energy that. 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:29.760 Is coming online. 0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:32.000 Now this has to go through the middle of Prime 0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:34.919 agricultural land, and of course farmers have been kicking up 0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:38.560 a stink, wanting to know exactly where these lines are 0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:41.280 going to go, how much of their land is going 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:44.600 to be taken away. The Victorian government has until this 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:47.800 point kept its secret. Now they're apparently going to make 0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:51.520 it public next week, but the Weekly Times has seen 0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.720 already where they are going to go and have dutifully 0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:59.200 revealed the line, which you can see on your screen there. Now, 0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:03.920 this thing will stretch two hundred and forty kilometers right, 0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:07.960 and it will be roughly seventy to eighty meters wide. 0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:11.600 So we're talking some farmers are going to have kilometers 0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:14.760 in length taken out of their land to the tune 0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:19.200 of seventy or eighty meters wide, not an insignificant part 0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:21.800 of their land that is going to be taken over 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:26.840 by the Transmission Company of Victoria. Now, for that, they 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.800 are due to be compensated to the tune of two 0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:35.280 hundred thousand dollars per kilometer over twenty five years. That 0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:40.680 equals eight thousand dollars a year. Guess what the government, 0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:44.400 the state government in Victoria, the Allen government, brings in 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.000 as a result of the land tax on this land. 0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:51.080 Though they generate seventy six million dollars a year on 0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.880 this land, which is equal to one hundred and seventy 0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:59.120 seven thousand dollars per kilometer per year, and they are 0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:03.240 going to give these farmers are poultry eight thousand dollars 0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:07.280 a year in compensation. Well, the farmers are not having it. 0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:10.440 One of the farmers from Southland, Barry Batters, he says, 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:12.880 we're not going to let him in. He says, everyone 0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:15.240 is going to stand at the gate and say no 0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:19.720 to TCV, that's Transmission Company Victoria. Ninety nine percent of 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.880 the landholders from Bulgana to ten kilometers north of Wurronook. 0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:27.360 We're ready to join forces to block tcv's access. 0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:30.760 Will make it hard for them, he said. They're going 0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:33.280 to go, you know, old style and chain themselves to 0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:34.560 gates instead of trees. 0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:35.200 I suppose. 0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:38.880 But what a disgusting situation where people who are simply 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.640 trying to run cattle and sheep and grow food and 0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.680 whatever keep us alive, to keep us alive and give 0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:48.320 us clothes to wear, et cetera, are going to have 0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:54.160 their land compulsorily acquired for this infrastructure that we only 0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.840 need because we're pursuing this crazy. 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:58.200 Green dream of renewable energy. 0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:02.040 They'll get eight cane compensation a year and the state 0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.360 government gets one hundred and seventy seven k. 0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:05.520 That is a joke. 0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:09.080 The other outrageous part of this is Transmission Company Victoria 0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:12.200 are currently in the process of getting licenses to be 0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:16.400 able to take this land by force. And yet the 0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:19.560 map that we showed on screen just a moment ago 0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:21.320 has only just become public. 0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:23.440 Has all been They've only just found out. 0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:27.080 Yeah, so locals have just learned this and preparations are 0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:29.760 already underway. The other thing is it's not just farmers 0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:33.360 who are being affected, but every Victorian person who pays 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.400 their electricity bill. This transmission line is costing three point 0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:39.560 five billion dollars, and of course the cost of that 0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:44.000 is added to everybody's electricity bill and it's blown out 0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:47.760 of course, as everything does with renewables, and in Victoria, 0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.400 by another five hundred and seventy seven million dollars, So 0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.840 it's now up to close to four billion dollars that 0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:56.520 gets added to people's electricity bill. So everybody is losing 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:56.800 from this. 0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.480 Yeah, and we know it well, they now know. We 0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:02.040 just found out along with them. This effects at least 0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:06.520 one hundred and forty one different private properties elsewhere in 0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:10.120 different shires. The numbers are unknown, they haven't crunched them yet, 0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:12.280 but that is a heck of a lot of farmers 0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:15.840 who have just found out these massive swathes are going 0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:18.640 to be cut through their land if and when this 0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:23.640 application is approved. And like you say, the tcv's parent 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.600 company who made this a lot more expensive by making 0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:30.320 the transmission lines how of a lot longer, that's just 0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:34.520 going to be paid off by Victorians via their electricity bills. 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:38.280 This isn't fair on anyone at all in this equation. 0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:41.440 Well, speaking of not being fair to anyone in the equation, 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:45.720 Tanya Plibast continues to upset everybody. In her role as 0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:49.760 Environment Minister. She's been making a decision or supposed to 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:53.040 be making a decision on salmon farming in Tasmania, which 0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:56.440 is worth about one point three billion dollars to the state. 0:32:57.040 --> 0:33:01.880 The issue is a skate fish which is classified as 0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:06.560 endangered in Macquarie Harbor, where they do salmon farming. She's 0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:09.400 been asked to determine whether or not the skatefish is 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.400 endangered or whether it's critically endangered, the difference being if 0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:17.480 it's critically endangered, then salmon farming in that harbor will 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.360 be shut down. But she's just announced she's going to 0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:24.800 delay making a decision until after the federal election. She's 0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:28.400 put it off by twelve months, thereby angering everybody. The 0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:31.160 salmon farmers are upset because they've got no certainty about 0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:34.240 their future, and of course the environmentalists are upset because 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:37.720 they're demanding something be done to save the skate semon. 0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:41.760 Tasmania Chief Executive Luke Martin said there is clearly no 0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.680 justification for her to string out a decision on that 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.640 process any longer, and she must end this completely unfair 0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:51.720 process for our workers, their families and communities have listened 0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:55.360 to salmon farmer Adam Saltmarsh and his wife Samantha, who 0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.720 say they have no idea whether or not they've got 0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:01.479 a future in Tasmania waiting for Tanya Plipasek to make 0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:03.880 a decision. She doesn't want to make until after the 0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:06.280 election less it costs labor votes. 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:10.200 This is where we always dreamt of raising our children. 0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:15.120 It's a beautiful town, it's a safe place to raise children, 0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:18.040 and they have a wonderful backyard and this is where 0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:20.360 we want to stay. We don't want to go anywhere else. 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:24.640 We believe that the salmon and the skate can coexist together. 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:26.640 For us to move away. 0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:28.840 To mean I'd have to move away from our kids probably, 0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:32.279 you know, to shift work, fly and fly out maybe 0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:35.520 for weeks of the time. So that means missing our 0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:41.120 kids school events growing up. You know. Yeah, it's pretty daunting. 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:42.399 It worries us a lot. 0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.759 So while those families employed by the salmon industry have 0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:49.239 to sit on their hands for twelve months not knowing 0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:52.680 if they've got a future, environmentalists are unhappy as well. 0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:56.839 Bob Brown spoke to the media saying Tanya Plipasek has 0:34:57.000 --> 0:35:00.399 decided to do absolutely nothing. Sorry not Bob Bread, Bob 0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:04.560 Brown Foundation campaigner Alister Allen I should have said, he said, 0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:07.600 Tenni Plimer section has decided to do absolutely nothing. Minister 0:35:07.600 --> 0:35:10.959 pilbi Sek is ignoring her role as environment minister while 0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:14.440 we're seeing a global extinction crisis and potentially putting the 0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:18.400 decision off to someone else post federal election. This is 0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:21.840 fairly typical of labor Caleb not wanting to make decisions 0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.400 because they're worried about certain electoral seats and how they 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:28.760 might be affected at the next elections. So to simply 0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:32.080 put off a decision until after the election smacks of 0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:34.839 someone who's paid to do a job deliberately not doing 0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:35.160 a job. 0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:37.440 Well, everything seems to be political in terms of the 0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:40.919 environmental decisions that Tania Pilbysik makes at the moment, because 0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:43.840 of course we can't have the Blainey gold mine because 0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.680 that might look bad at home in her seat and 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:50.040 the other seats in the inner city of Sydney where 0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:52.359 they're worried about the Greens vote, And of course can't 0:35:52.400 --> 0:35:54.120 make it a decision on the other hand down in 0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:55.640 Tasmania because. 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:57.000 It might cost labor votes. 0:35:57.000 --> 0:36:00.719 And as Paul Murray outlined in his program early, those 0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:03.239 seats in Tasmania are going to be very important to 0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:06.080 whether or not Dutton has any chance of forming a 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:09.680 government at the next federal election. Seriously, though, I mean 0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:12.040 the more genan skate and you can have a look 0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:14.080 at this thing. Here is an ugly look and bagger, 0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:16.040 but why don't. 0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:17.120 We put the people first? 0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:21.520 Seriously, we're talking about jobs for thousands of people and 0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:25.800 we're talking about food to eat. I to be perfectly honest, 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:30.200 couldn't care less whether the more Gan skate disappears from 0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:32.680 the harbor. Go and collect some of these critters up 0:36:32.719 --> 0:36:35.600 and go and put them in aquarium or something somewhere 0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:37.640 so that they don't that thing. 0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:38.880 Can't have that thing. 0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:41.880 Go extin we have a white quality of life would plummet. 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.839 We have a way of preventing them from going extinct forever. 0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:46.400 Put them in an aquarium somewhere. 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:50.759 But this is about jobs for Australians and food for Australian. 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.400 Straight environmental less. 0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:54.960 I mean, I've got ninety nine problems, but the extinction 0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:57.719 of the skate fish certainly isn't one of them. And 0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.479 like you say, what person in their right mind would 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.840 sacrifice salmon for whatever the heck that thing was that 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:07.279 looked like a weird looking stingray. 0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:09.279 We're going to go to a break, but stick around. 0:37:09.320 --> 0:37:11.280 When we come back, we'll look at what's making news tomorrow, 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:16.040 including Anthony Albanezi not the only labor mp receiving freebies 0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:17.560 from countas. That's coming up in a moment. 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:20.440 Welcome back. 0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:22.440 Let's take a look at what's making news tomorrow. The 0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:25.040 front page of the Australian only got two stories, but 0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:28.280 both of them are big ones, Caleb, Quantus and COVID. 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:31.719 Let's start with a whopper, shall we COVID. Now they've 0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:33.480 got three stories. 0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:33.640 On this issue. 0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:35.399 I will run you through them, and they don't get 0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:37.960 any better. The first one says numbers did. 0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:39.480 Not reflect the full story. 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:43.799 Australia's COVID nineteen pandemic response fixated on case numbers and 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:47.279 lost sight of the broader mental health impacts of lockdowns 0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:51.520 and school closures, A landmark inquiry has found. Then the 0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:56.120 second story says draconian COVID nineteen measures including state lockdowns, 0:37:56.120 --> 0:37:59.799 border closures, school shutdowns and vaccine mandates were not just 0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:03.719 after the initial wave of the pandemic and fueled an 0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:07.520 erosion in trust in governments and mental health damage to children, 0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:11.720 a landmark inquiry has found. And then the third story says, 0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:15.480 across the nation's frontline workforce in health, aged care, police 0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:19.640 and paramedics, mandatory COVID nineteen immunization is a distant memory. 0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:21.400 But in Victoria, as. 0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:25.200 The summer fire season looms, dozens of unvaccinated firefighters are 0:38:25.280 --> 0:38:28.600 still banned from returning to work three years after being 0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:35.200 stood down without pay worse too, worse two worse. Now, look, 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:38.160 the result of this inquiry was. 0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:40.560 In some way scathing. 0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:44.239 I think its certainly said that the States bagged things up, 0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:47.480 that there was no justification for much of what they did. 0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.799 But let us not forget that no state premiere was 0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:54.360 hauled in before this inquiry. They will face no penalty 0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:58.120 or punishment for what they did. The biggest suggestion that 0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:01.560 comes out of this inquiry is that we need a 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:04.759 federal CDC in the event, which is like what they 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:07.720 have in the United States, the Center for Disease Control, 0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:11.239 in the event that there is another pandemic. Now, if 0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:13.520 you read all of this, and it's saying the States 0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:16.120 bagged everything up and there was no justification for all 0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:18.560 the things that were done. The biggest problem, one of 0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:21.000 the biggest problems we had during COVID was lots of 0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:24.920 bureaucrats dictating what should or shouldn't be done. 0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:27.960 And now they say we should have a CDC. 0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:31.520 That will be the whole of bureaucrats telling us how 0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:34.760 we should run ourselves during a pandemic China. 0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:36.680 Make it make sense, well, I mean, the irony of 0:39:36.680 --> 0:39:38.440 that is that we knew what to do during a 0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:42.200 pandemic because Tony Abbott, as Healthminess, had written they dropped 0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:45.000 a pandemic plan that sat in the bottom of a 0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:48.759 draw somewhere while we seem to take our cues from 0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:52.719 the Chinese Communist Party and copy their response. The thing 0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:55.920 that I found most interesting in this report, and by 0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:58.440 the way, this report bears witness to why we need 0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:01.960 a Royal commission, because if there were that many mistakes, 0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:05.080 then state premiers, most of whom have now left office, 0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:07.440 but they should be hauled back in to explain things. 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:12.839 But the report points out that it's fuelled a distrust 0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.359 of government, so next time we're in a crisis, most 0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:19.640 people will be most disinclined to believe, let alone do 0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:22.600 anything the government advises. And from a personal point of view, 0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:26.240 I well remember that first press conference where Scott Morrison 0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:29.160 as Prime Minister came on and I remember standing there, 0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:32.160 shot we're closing the borders, we're closing the airports, we're 0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:36.080 closing schools, and I said to my kids out of 0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:39.600 school immediately, because I reasoned, if it's this bad that 0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:42.800 they are going to this must be very, very bad. 0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:45.480 But after about a month and a half, I'm starting 0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.080 to think something doesn't add up here. 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:50.839 And remember two weeks to flatten the curves. 0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:55.080 Do you remember the AFL they're wiping down the goalposts. 0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:58.600 Do you remember the health minister in South Australia saying 0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:01.840 if the ball is don't touch the bill. 0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:05.440 Your same public health officer who said that the only 0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:07.480 place in the world where COVID had spread on a 0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:09.600 pizza box was Adelaide exactly. 0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:12.960 We all remember Pizzagate. That was a classic. 0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:16.400 It's really interesting though, because we forget there are still 0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:23.000 workers who can't work. I mean this story about Victoria's fieries. 0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:28.279 As summer looms, they can't go back to work. We're 0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:31.279 so far behind America on this. There has been so 0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:34.600 many cases where people who were fired due to not 0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:39.799 being vaccinated, not obeying the mandates have been paid out 0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:42.880 masses of money. Just a couple of days ago. The 0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:45.840 most recent case I'm aware of in Chicago, a federal 0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:51.759 court has awarded a million dollars to each person who 0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:56.120 was fired by Chicago's state transit company for refusing to 0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:59.920 take the vacs. They said, we wanted religious exemptions for 0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.759 religious reasons. We did not want to take this. We 0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:07.520 were fired instead they now get a million bucks age. 0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:10.840 But this is one of many of these cases in 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:13.200 the States, and I do wonder how far behind we 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:18.080 are in terms of Ozzy's realizing that if they take 0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:21.200 them to task, we've had a few successes. Up in Queensland, 0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:25.120 they too could be getting really good payouts for the 0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:29.279 fact that they were cast out of their jobs by 0:42:29.400 --> 0:42:31.240 virtue of not giving into the mat. 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:34.879 And it is no coincidence that that persists in Victoria, 0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:37.840 the most belligerent state of all, because they will not 0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:40.880 admit that they got anything wrong. And that is the 0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:45.279 problem with this inquiry and its results. Oh they got 0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:48.360 some stuff wrong, but no one who was involved in 0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:51.640 that process will come out over the next week and. 0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:52.799 Say we got it wrong. 0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.359 I promise you they will not, and they will get 0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:57.919 away with it because not one of them was Halding. 0:42:57.920 --> 0:42:58.960 And that's the irony, right. 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:00.680 If you're going to produce a report that says the 0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:02.719 big problem here is you have fueled a lack of 0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:06.600 trust in government, and then you don't call for accountability 0:43:06.600 --> 0:43:09.880 from government, well then you're doing nothing to restore trust 0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:13.160 in government. And if democracy doesn't have trust, you don't 0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:16.520 have democracy. That may well prove to be the biggest 0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:21.080 ramification from the pandemic response, especially if we end up 0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:23.799 in a crisis, whether it's a pandemic or war something else. 0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:27.080 If the public don't trust what they're being told by 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:30.200 the authorities, then you're in all sorts of troubles. 0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:32.960 Well, I can say that it didn't affect my trust 0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:36.040 in government and always rock bottom and to every rock 0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:37.640 bottom speaking. 0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:39.840 Of a roading trust in government, Let's talk about our 0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:43.920 great mate Albo Freebies, because because it says he pushed 0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:49.440 to upgrade Freebie Albanesi to corruption watchdog Anthony Alberzi has 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:52.440 been urged by Peter Dutton to refer himself to the 0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:55.799 National Anti Corruption Commission after the Prime Minister continued to 0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:59.160 dodge claims that he asked former Quantus chief executive Allen 0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:04.440 Joyce for personal flight upgrades. I could not believe the 0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:07.680 way he conducted himself today when he was asked about 0:44:07.680 --> 0:44:09.799 all of this, trying to say, oh, you know, just 0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:12.480 Joe Aston, just trying to sell some books I haven't 0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:14.920 seen him, declared that he was a liberal star for 0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:17.239 and that he worked at Quatas, even though it's in 0:44:17.280 --> 0:44:19.480 the first line on the first page of the book 0:44:19.560 --> 0:44:23.799 that he's trying to sell you more on and he's 0:44:23.920 --> 0:44:29.280 trying to We went on about the chairman's lounge access 0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:31.640 for his son, saying it was his plus one well 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:34.320 as you would have seen on Sharry tonight. Joe Aston 0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:37.200 pointed out that that was never ever declared and of 0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:40.759 course his partner now his Fyonce is declared, so was 0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:43.919 it ever a plus one? There are so many questions here. 0:44:44.200 --> 0:44:47.360 He won't answer it because he knows he's in the 0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:48.120 pood drinking. 0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:50.640 Anthiy Albanze rang Joe Aston and tried to procure a 0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:51.360 free copy. 0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:51.520 Of the book. 0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:54.840 Can I get a pre read? 0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:57.680 I just had to laugh at Anthony Albaneze has been 0:44:57.760 --> 0:44:59.960 urged by Peter Dutton to refer himself to the National 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:03.880 Anti Corruption Commission.

How dumb 0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:54.480 do these people think we are, or maybe the press are, 0:45:55.000 --> 0:46:00.200 that something that is so find outable is never going 0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:03.480 to make the front page splash, Like, this isn't something 0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:05.960 that you have to do all that much deep diving 0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:10.520 to discover, and now we know it's from the top down. 0:46:10.719 --> 0:46:13.319 It wasn't just elbow.

So these guys have all been cashing 0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:26.400 in and little wonder they made sure that potential rival 0:46:26.920 --> 0:46:28.080 never got a chance. 0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:29.279 To be the rival that it could have been. 0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:31.400 You can read all about it in tomorrow's papers. 0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:32.280 It's everywhere. 0:46:32.280 --> 0:46:33.640 We're going to go to a break when we come 0:46:33.760 --> 0:46:36.120 back a woman Susann Airline after they gave her an 0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:39.319 in flight ice cream and didn't tell her it was icy. 0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:40.239 It's coming up in. 0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:45.919 Second all right, welcome back, Caleb. You've got a great 0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:48.479 story about a family who held out with their real estate. 0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:50.920 Who needs the castle when you've got this. 0:46:51.160 --> 0:46:54.920 This family in Adelaide, Salisbury in Adelaide watched all the 0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:58.360 land be developed around them and they said, no, we 0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:01.720 are not giving in. Take a look at the property 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:04.160 that they have lived on for more than thirty years. 0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:07.279 They've had developers coming and knocking on the door and 0:47:07.400 --> 0:47:10.160 saying we want to take over this place. Literally you 0:47:10.239 --> 0:47:13.560 can see there on either side it's been developed. Housing 0:47:13.760 --> 0:47:17.279 estates have gone in and they've said, one day we're 0:47:17.320 --> 0:47:19.239 going to make shed loads of money out of this. 0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:22.000 And that's exactly what happened to parents. 0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:24.200 Carc that the kids put it up for sale. They 0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:26.440 thought they'd get two point two million for it. They 0:47:26.520 --> 0:47:29.000 got five point five million for it. So there you go. 0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.120 If you're thinking a hold non hold on. 0:47:31.280 --> 0:47:35.560 I say, if you thought that worker's conclaim we told 0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:38.040 you about earlier was bad, check this out. A woman 0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:42.640 in the States is suing Jet Blue an American Airline 0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:46.160 because the ice cream sandwich they gave. 0:47:46.080 --> 0:47:48.920 Her was too cold. 0:47:49.280 --> 0:47:49.839 Check this out. 0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:53.120 The lawsuit argues that the sweet treat was at a 0:47:53.280 --> 0:47:57.480 temperature below what is reasonable or safe for consumption, and 0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:01.240 quanonas that's the name of the woman was not warned 0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:05.440 of the dangerously cold temperature and solid state of the 0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:09.759 ice cream sandwich she was served. This caused her to 0:48:09.960 --> 0:48:15.280 fracture one of her front teeth, and she wants some money. 0:48:15.760 --> 0:48:18.320 Stay tuned to find out whether she's actually successful. 0:48:18.719 --> 0:48:21.400 This is insane. This is insane. 0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:24.360 At what part of picking up the ice cream sandwich 0:48:24.400 --> 0:48:27.120 wouldn't you just go, maybe it's too hard for me 0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:30.239 to bite into it, or even think to be like, 0:48:30.360 --> 0:48:33.080 now that I have bitten into it, because I'm greedy 0:48:33.239 --> 0:48:36.319 and it's really hard, now I'm going to som well. 0:48:36.360 --> 0:48:38.319 I mean, you would typically hold it in your hand 0:48:38.400 --> 0:48:38.640 and that. 0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:41.440 Would tell you that it is cold. Indeed, you'd squeeze 0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:41.840 it a little bit. 0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:43.839 That would tell you it's solid, and you'd think, if 0:48:43.880 --> 0:48:45.439 I wait a moment, it will fall. 0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:49.320 But apparently you have to serve someone explain that. 0:48:49.560 --> 0:48:51.520 But this is why when you buy a cup of 0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:54.520 takeaway coffee, it's got hot written on the top of it, 0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:56.520 because some dope in the United. 0:48:56.320 --> 0:48:58.200 It's always in the United States, isn't it. They're a 0:48:58.239 --> 0:48:59.200 bit dense over these. 0:48:59.360 --> 0:49:00.879 That is a very head line. 0:49:00.880 --> 0:49:05.880 And the woman put the cup of coffee between her 0:49:05.920 --> 0:49:07.120 legs and then squeezed your legs. 0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:10.160 I'm trying to burn on my legs. It was coffee, 0:49:10.239 --> 0:49:10.919 for goodness sake. 0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:13.160 I just want to know if this woman was eating 0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:16.200 at ice cream at home as a council worker during 0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:18.920 her lunch break and she sustained that injury, would she. 0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:21.760 Be able to sue the council with her My DearS, Taylor, 0:49:21.920 --> 0:49:22.400 you would. 0:49:22.239 --> 0:49:24.000 Get a payout. That's it from us to stick around. 0:49:24.080 --> 0:49:25.759 Coming up is the readA Penny show that's up in 0:49:25.840 --> 0:49:26.279 just a moment.
