Speaker 1: From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Take
Speaker 1: you gain no sooks, no left is this Sunday night,
Speaker 1: looking forward to that debate your bold predictions and wait
Speaker 1: till I show you the latest example of albonomics. If
Speaker 1: there's any debate about how bad the last budget was
Speaker 1: last week, well we'll drive it home for you in
Speaker 1: a moment of two time. But first, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: did you say that a police officer was stabbed in
Speaker 1: Sydney this afternoon? Happened in broad daylight. Presumably some footage
Speaker 1: will come forward in the next little while, but a
Speaker 1: police officer was stabbed not once, but twice in the head.
Speaker 1: This happened on Elizabeth Street in the heart of the city.
Speaker 1: The person who police believe is responsible ultimately was tasered
Speaker 1: and taken into custody. Now, this does speak to a
Speaker 1: horrible problem that exists with knife crime, specifically knife crime
Speaker 1: in New South Wales and Sydney specifically, But there speaks
Speaker 1: to a broader issue I'll get to in a second.
Speaker 1: Here's what police updated this afternoon about this event.
Speaker 2: Shortly after one pm today, a thirty three to three
Speaker 2: year old male approached two constables who were performing traffic
Speaker 2: duties on the corner of Castle Raham Park Street. That
Speaker 2: thirty three year old male has produced a kitchen style
Speaker 2: knife about thirty centi minutes long and stabbed the mile
Speaker 2: constable in the back of the head a number of times.
Speaker 2: The injured officer and a female officer then given chase
Speaker 2: along Park Street up to Hyde Park near Elizabeth Street, where,
Speaker 2: assisted by a number of other police officers, that offender
Speaker 2: was arrested.
Speaker 1: Now let's just all take a second. How bad is this.
Speaker 1: We're not talking about somebody who produced a weapon while
Speaker 1: they were being arrested. We're not talking about somebody who
Speaker 1: had produced their weapon in order to commit an earlier crime,
Speaker 1: and in the tussle of being arrested, the police officer
Speaker 1: was stabbed. No, as the police just told us, they
Speaker 1: were sitting there, this bloke comes up behind them and
Speaker 1: twice in the back of the head. The officer is struck.
Speaker 1: Now for every very obvious reasons. If producing a blade,
Speaker 1: they want to hurt, If they're going after the head,
Speaker 1: well pretty obvious that they want to kill. Now. Charges
Speaker 1: will be laid in the next couple of hours, so
Speaker 1: we'll all be limited about what we can say from here,
Speaker 1: but this is a horrific incident and an example of
Speaker 1: the type of crap that police officers have to put
Speaker 1: up with every single day. Did you know that there
Speaker 1: are two and a half thousand assaults against police that
Speaker 1: happen each and every year. That's according to the crime
Speaker 1: statistics in New South Wales. Now this was referred to
Speaker 1: as stable in the statistics, but when you break down
Speaker 1: two and a half thousand, that is six point nine
Speaker 1: or seven assaults on police officers every single day, Sunday
Speaker 1: in winter, Thursday in summer, every single day, public holiday, weekend,
Speaker 1: long weekend, leap year. Seven officers every day are assaulted. Now,
Speaker 1: they are not a soul as badly as this officer
Speaker 1: has been. We'll find out exactly what his status is
Speaker 1: in hospital throughout the hour. But to the men and
Speaker 1: women of our police force, it must be incredibly hard
Speaker 1: to get up and go to work each and every day.
Speaker 1: Think about even on the best day, you meet most
Speaker 1: people on their worst. If that people who've never interacted
Speaker 1: with the police before, this is something that they will
Speaker 1: never forget if they're a victim of crime, no matter
Speaker 1: how allegedly small. All the way through the most serious,
Speaker 1: of course, it changes your life, but for the police
Speaker 1: who have to keep going back to the same houses,
Speaker 1: or back to the same streets, or back to the
Speaker 1: same suburbs. And now the idea, as has been too
Speaker 1: frequently remembered on Police Remembrance Day, that there is a chance,
Speaker 1: every time you say goodbye to your family before you
Speaker 1: go off on the twelve hour shift, which is always
Speaker 1: extended because of the paperwork that you have to do,
Speaker 1: you may never come home to the men and women
Speaker 1: of the police force who get up and go towards
Speaker 1: trouble every day. Thank you to their families who lend
Speaker 1: us the women and men of the news of us
Speaker 1: police force. Thank you to any and everyone who is
Speaker 1: thinking about joining the police force, please do, and good
Speaker 1: on you. These people are amazing. Let's see how our
Speaker 1: culture reacts to what is an absolutely sickening and despicable act,
Speaker 1: but one that I believe has been too normalized. Show
Speaker 1: the numbers again. Two and a half thousand officers every
Speaker 1: single year. Two and a half thousand assaults on police,
Speaker 1: seven every single day. That's in one state, one year. Disgraceful. Now,
Speaker 1: in a second, i'll show you the polling in and
Speaker 1: around the federal budget and surprise. Surprise is laded with
Speaker 1: a thud. But there's something that we haven't spoken about
Speaker 1: in the past couple weeks because it's all this other
Speaker 1: news around airbus elbow. Of course, this prime minister loves
Speaker 1: flying overseas, to fly overseas, to fly overseas. He's even
Speaker 1: apparently nicknamed it Toto one after the dog Ah the
Speaker 1: kid so relatable. And of course he turns up in
Speaker 1: every country waving as if there's hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: people there to meet him, even though it's often just
Speaker 1: local officials shake your hand and some people taking photos.
Speaker 1: It's not the president of the United States, it's the
Speaker 1: Australian Prime minister. And like all labor prime ministers, he
Speaker 1: gets a little bit too excited with the world stage
Speaker 1: because it's not as complicated as dealing with things here
Speaker 1: back and home, and it's millions and millions and millions
Speaker 1: of dollars. Well, last week, while the federal government was
Speaker 1: so generously giving people thirty six dollars a week in
Speaker 1: a tax return, so generously giving us twenty five dollars
Speaker 1: a month to help pay off the power bills, guess
Speaker 1: what was buried in the detail. Elbow's getting a new
Speaker 1: plane and they're buying another one for the ministers too.
Speaker 1: This story is just breaking as we speak on the
Speaker 1: Australians website. Will be on the front page of the
Speaker 1: paper tomorrow. Two planes, four hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: luxury private jets for the Prime minister. He gets one
Speaker 1: for himself, the puppy and CEOs who want to suck
Speaker 1: up to him, and the ministers and high ranking public
Speaker 1: servants they get one too. Seriously, is there any other
Speaker 1: better example of other people's money than we're dealing with
Speaker 1: the cost of livering by giving you a fistful of nothing,
Speaker 1: whereas they get not one, but two private jets that
Speaker 1: they can fly at the same press conference at the
Speaker 1: same time. Welcome to our bonomics, ladies and gentlemen. Big
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. Out of Melbourne now, there was
Speaker 1: a rally today against anti Semitism. Now, for those who
Speaker 1: saw the rally, they saw that this was an attempt
Speaker 1: by in part the Christian community as well as a
Speaker 1: Jewish community to push back on what has been an identifiable,
Speaker 1: growing problem that has been going on for the past
Speaker 1: few months. But then there was a thing called a
Speaker 1: counter protest. The counter protest no subtlety here, smash racism,
Speaker 1: crush Zionism, put the booth through the country of Israel
Speaker 1: in the genocide. Now, this is all the stuff that
Speaker 1: pretends to be pro Palestinian, but it's not. It's pro
Speaker 1: Hamas because it is about flushing away a Jewish voice
Speaker 1: here in Australia. The protests as they made their way
Speaker 1: through Melbourne today, well, of course the counter protest to
Speaker 1: the reasonable protest ends up producing an awful lot of
Speaker 1: police pushing shav and all the rest of it. Now
Speaker 1: I have had enough of the counter protest because it
Speaker 1: is the counter protest that always causes the trouble. You
Speaker 1: know that, when it's women who want to speak for
Speaker 1: their rights on the front steps of the Parliament, it's
Speaker 1: the counter protest that brings out all the police and
Speaker 1: begins the scuffles. The left always think that they are
Speaker 1: able to confront on the streets the ideas that they
Speaker 1: disagree with. Now inevitably, this is why things turn violent,
Speaker 1: and inevitably it's why people who should be able to
Speaker 1: stand up and speak on their own behalf don't because
Speaker 1: they're afraid of the intimidation that's going to come their way.
Speaker 1: As you saw yesterday, a bunch of allegedly pro Palestinian,
Speaker 1: but most likely Prohomus people were marching against the Victorian
Speaker 1: Labor Party conference amazingly while they were inside and the
Speaker 1: doors were being kicked down or kicked in, i should say,
Speaker 1: by the protest as the Prime Minister was behind those
Speaker 1: locked doors telling delegates that they've done a wonderful job
Speaker 1: with social cohesion. The Premiere, in response to these scenes
Speaker 1: out of the race course, I'm disgusted. No one should
Speaker 1: be cowered by these bullies. Just into Allen says, today's
Speaker 1: protests and intruders brought violence, homophobia and antisemitis in the
Speaker 1: front door of the State conference. I'm disgusted. No one
Speaker 1: could be cowered. No one should be cowed by these bullies.
Speaker 1: As Premier, my priority is a cohesive society were all
Speaker 1: Victorians feel safe and respected, and that's what she's allegedly
Speaker 1: fighting for. Well, what's the response to what happened today?
Speaker 1: What's the response to people who wanted to have an
Speaker 1: antisemitism rally, not pro Israel, not thank goodness they're dropping
Speaker 1: the bombs, not let's take the death Tolder thirty six
Speaker 1: thirty seven forty five thousand in Gaza. It was a
Speaker 1: protest trying to fight antisemitism, hatred of Jews. Oh no,
Speaker 1: but that protest can't just happen. I know that people
Speaker 1: that are righteous, the ones that are right on man,
Speaker 1: decided to get in their face. Now, as you know,
Speaker 1: this is wildly complicated. But where the line is drawn
Speaker 1: very clearly for me, is that when an event is
Speaker 1: being held to mourn the dead of October the seventh,
Speaker 1: yet people turn up on that same day to try
Speaker 1: to intimidate Jews. That is not for the Palestinian people.
Speaker 1: When there is a protest this weekend to stop antisemitism,
Speaker 1: people try to confront it and scream and carry on
Speaker 1: in their face. That is not for the people of Palestine.
Speaker 1: That is people who believe like that image has shown
Speaker 1: us that the state of Israel should be white from
Speaker 1: the map. That's not about two state solutions. That's not
Speaker 1: about the ability to freely move from the West Bank
Speaker 1: into Gaza, for it to be a country where the
Speaker 1: Israelis and Palestinians operate equally, equal voice, all of that nut.
Speaker 1: That is about the overt intimidation of one population. Now,
Speaker 1: there is an absolute reason why there are protests in
Speaker 1: our cities each and every week about tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of people being killed in Gaza. And you can simultaneously
Speaker 1: be somebody who like myself, supports the state of Israel,
Speaker 1: but also believes there has to be a limit to
Speaker 1: what the response is to October seventh. That's big and complicated.
Speaker 1: But the idea that people frankly intimidating Jews because they
Speaker 1: can and then pretending that they're doing it for the
Speaker 1: right reason is garbage. BS. Now, it's interesting behind closed
Speaker 1: doors at the Labor Party conference, that was the line
Speaker 1: in the sand for the premiere. What about what happened
Speaker 1: on the steps of the Parliament today. Let's see what
Speaker 1: she says tomorrow. After all, she's kind of been softly
Speaker 1: softly on many different allegedly pro Palestinian but at times
Speaker 1: pro Hamas marches that have happened in Victoria. Now, as
Speaker 1: for the actual war itself on the show, I've always
Speaker 1: tried to tell you about what might move the needle.
Speaker 1: Now without boring you, Benjamin Netanyah, who is only the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Israel because of a coalition government. Now
Speaker 1: that coalition government has got insight at some very hardcore
Speaker 1: people that have basically said they want to wipe Gaza
Speaker 1: off the map through to puposedly more centrist or slightly
Speaker 1: left leaning people, and one of the slightly left leaning
Speaker 1: people is now saying they will walk away from the
Speaker 1: government and thus it will collapse. No one will be
Speaker 1: in charge of Israel until yet another bloody election unless
Speaker 1: Benjamin Nenya, who comes forward with what does winning look like?
Speaker 1: How long are we still going to continue to do
Speaker 1: this now? Some will push back and say you can't
Speaker 1: possibly rule an end date, because then you're telling the
Speaker 1: terrorists what to do. The point is for Benjamin na
Speaker 1: who to be in power, for his Defense minister, to
Speaker 1: stay in power, they need to have this coalition. The
Speaker 1: news is big tonight if one of the members of
Speaker 1: the coalition is willing to walk away from it unless
Speaker 1: those plans are articulated. You can like or dislike the news.
Speaker 1: That is the news tonight. Will update you again in
Speaker 1: greater detail tomorrow. But again, one of the reasons why
Speaker 1: Israel is under the pressure that it is right now
Speaker 1: is because of the effect on Joe Biden electorally. You
Speaker 1: see Joe Biden in the United States as a chance
Speaker 1: of losing the presidency because of younger voters who do
Speaker 1: not agree with his position. In fact, some forty four
Speaker 1: percent of Democratic registered voters responding to a poll just
Speaker 1: this weekend or sorry, last week so that they disapprove
Speaker 1: of Biden's handling of the crisis. Democrats who have who
Speaker 1: have disapproved of his response and now say they are
Speaker 1: less likely to vote for Biden at all. Now they're
Speaker 1: not going to go over and vote for Trump and
Speaker 1: they're not going to vote for Biden. The question is
Speaker 1: if all of this magically ended tomorrow, would they eventually
Speaker 1: come back to Joe Biden or have we passed many
Speaker 1: many points of no return and therefore they won't vote.
Speaker 1: So that's the politics, that's the news. Always try to
Speaker 1: tell you what's going on, and we can all have
Speaker 1: our opinions after that. But it's pretty precarious in the
Speaker 1: United States for Joe Briden, it seems to be if
Speaker 1: that coalition breaks, even more precarious for Benjamin Nia and
Speaker 1: whether that means you double down or you start to
Speaker 1: pull back or wait and see together. Now, while this
Speaker 1: weekend was supposedly all about the prime Minister and the
Speaker 1: Treasurer going from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea.
Speaker 1: As we move around to tell us how amazing the
Speaker 1: federal budget was. Remember best case scenario average tax power
Speaker 1: about thirty six thirty four to thirty six bucks in
Speaker 1: tax cuts per week. Think about your last weekend. How
Speaker 1: far would that have gone? Lett alone twenty five dollars
Speaker 1: a month, seventy five a quarter or three hundred a year,
Speaker 1: which you don't get, by the way, It just paid
Speaker 1: to the power company to bribe them to not put
Speaker 1: up your bill that you end up getting. That's the government.
Speaker 1: But as we showed you on Thursday, Peter Dutton a
Speaker 1: lot clearer, a lot easier to understand than the if.
Speaker 1: But maybe he's carry the one stand on one finger.
Speaker 1: Look for the asterisk that the government is putting forward now.
Speaker 1: He believes that one of the main things we have
Speaker 1: to do in this country is stop the number of
Speaker 1: people that are coming in. Not because he or anyone
Speaker 1: who supports him hates the color of people, what they
Speaker 1: believe in any racial issues. This is because we know
Speaker 1: when you've got already record waiting for ambulances, when you've
Speaker 1: got infrastructure that is crumbling. When you've got lines around
Speaker 1: the block for a house, adding more people to that
Speaker 1: is not very clever. So he says if he becomes
Speaker 1: Prime Minister that he will absolutely take a slash for
Speaker 1: a couple of years to those that are coming into
Speaker 1: the country. We believe that by rebalancing the migration program
Speaker 1: and taking decisive action on the housing crisis, the Coalition
Speaker 1: can free up almost forty thousand additional homes in the
Speaker 1: first year and well over one hundred thousand homes in
Speaker 1: the first five years. We will reduce the permanent migration
Speaker 1: program by twenty five percent from one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: five thousand to one hundred and forty thousand for the
Speaker 1: first two years, in recognition of the urgency of the crisis. Now,
Speaker 1: I love these people who say, well, hang on, but
Speaker 1: what about the skilled migrants. Yeah, there's place for them,
Speaker 1: but maybe not their families, maybe not the extra world
Speaker 1: of foreign students. And I do of the foreign students argument. Now,
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, every university in the world,
Speaker 1: including ones here in Australia, learned how to deliver degrees
Speaker 1: not in person. So could somebody please tell me why
Speaker 1: if you want to study, and you qualify to study,
Speaker 1: and you pay up front to study at an Australian university.
Speaker 1: You can't do it on the internet from another country. Again,
Speaker 1: you were able to work from home to this very
Speaker 1: day in the public service. Why not study from home?
Speaker 1: Because apparently the economy is all connected to the many,
Speaker 1: many versions of the Ponzi scheme that just means keep
Speaker 1: adding more people, more people, more people, and everyone who
Speaker 1: eclips a ticket makes money. But everyone else who is
Speaker 1: amongst the community sees the problems that exist as a result.
Speaker 1: So I think it's very clear, let's cut immigration. Lot's
Speaker 1: any in a second wire. Australians agree with that and
Speaker 1: agree with it in absolute drives. But then there's the
Speaker 1: other issue, the issue that I talked about last week,
Speaker 1: the issue that I believe is being talked about in
Speaker 1: homes even more than the tax policy energy policy, which
Speaker 1: is how the hell are their kids or grandkids going
Speaker 1: to be able to buy a house? Well, an idea
Speaker 1: that costs the government nothing, And don't you love all
Speaker 1: the labor people saying, worry on, how do you cost it?
Speaker 1: This costs nothing? Ban the number of people from overseas
Speaker 1: bringing their money or sending their money here to bid
Speaker 1: against your kids and grandkids for a house. We will
Speaker 1: implement a two year ban on foreign investors and temporary
Speaker 1: residents purchasing existing homes in Australia. And I watched it
Speaker 1: in real time after the speech last Thursday. What was
Speaker 1: the lefty talking point, da da da da get done?
Speaker 1: And how was it? Well, apparently it was a populist
Speaker 1: speech on Channel two. Things like Australia first, well, that's
Speaker 1: not really Australian politics. And a real reference to Trump,
Speaker 1: because I remember they're going to try to go Trump
Speaker 1: Trump Trump on Peter Dutton. But who has a problem
Speaker 1: with cutting immigration which stops the pressure everywhere from our
Speaker 1: hospitals and the bidding and stopping overseas people bidding on houses,
Speaker 1: that stops the pressure on prices. Well, of course Jim Chalmers,
Speaker 1: who's still out there saying, hey, I deserve a gold star.
Speaker 1: I'm buying the Prime Minister a jet. I'm getting a jet,
Speaker 1: but you're getting thirty six bucks a week.
Speaker 3: It'll cost the economy billions of dollars. But even the
Speaker 3: kinds of estimates that you will see are conservative because
Speaker 3: it's not possible to fully capture the damage that Peter
Speaker 3: Dutton would do to the skills base of this country,
Speaker 3: to our hospitals, on our building sites, the sorts of
Speaker 3: things that he hasn't thought through.
Speaker 1: Well, this little thing eventually comes around, and I'm surprised
Speaker 1: it's come around so fast. The opinion polls. The opinion
Speaker 1: polls are that the budget has landed like the dead
Speaker 1: cat that we assumed it would be. And what did
Speaker 1: people react strongly to Peter Dutton's position when it came
Speaker 1: to immigration and stopping people being able to be foreign
Speaker 1: buyers when buying homes. This is from the Sydney Morning
Speaker 1: Herald and The Age tonight. Last year, sixty six percent
Speaker 1: of people say immigration was too high. Now they say
Speaker 1: about fifty percent of people believe immigration too high. In
Speaker 1: terms of how we're handling it all voters sixty percent,
Speaker 1: So the government is doing a poor job. It's unexplained.
Speaker 1: It's just all over the shop. For labor voters it's
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent. The Coalition voters seventy five percent of them,
Speaker 1: So there's a problem with immigration, and more importantly, not labor,
Speaker 1: not liberal sixty three percent of those people. And that
Speaker 1: could be everything from one nation to teel. They say
Speaker 1: the immigration system is in the wrong place. All of
Speaker 1: it is hurting the Labor Party electorally. Latest opinion poll
Speaker 1: remember primary voting here, they were at what thirty two
Speaker 1: of the last election. They're now down to twenty nine Nationally,
Speaker 1: they are currently behind the Liberal on primary vote. News
Speaker 1: of was Victoria, Queens and the rest of the country.
Speaker 1: Nationally it's thirty six percent for the Liberal Party twenty
Speaker 1: nine percent for the Labor Party. Now, obviously once you
Speaker 1: put two and two together, you end up getting two
Speaker 1: what thirty nine forty one that with the Greens, which
Speaker 1: means they've got to fight on their hands. What would
Speaker 1: happen with one nation preferences? What would happen with United
Speaker 1: Australia preferences? Well, if they do it in twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: preference a Liberal Party, this thing's going to be close.
Speaker 1: If it's a fox in all your houses, well then
Speaker 1: we get more of the same. But have a look
Speaker 1: at the comments in this poll released by the nine newspapers.
Speaker 1: One of the most anti liberal lefty joints that are
Speaker 1: out there quotes these are voters. I can't understand why
Speaker 1: millionaires would be given support. They're just trying to buy votes. Yep.
Speaker 1: We said that on Budget Night we're going backwards financially
Speaker 1: at a rate of knots. Yep. We said that on
Speaker 1: Budget Night it's very frustrating to see the government not
Speaker 1: doing anything for workers but funding bloods. We said that
Speaker 1: every night the cost of living and who's going to
Speaker 1: help more in their budget proposals about which way they're
Speaker 1: going to vote? Well again, cost of living, too little,
Speaker 1: too late, empty promises and double speak from the government
Speaker 1: has turned me off. We've set it every night for
Speaker 1: two years. I'm always changing, but the latest budget figures
Speaker 1: have turned me back to the Liberals. Well, hopefully you'll
Speaker 1: stay there. I've tuned out of Labor and Albow. They
Speaker 1: don't listen or care about regional Australia. We've been saying
Speaker 1: it since day one. This budget's a joke. I'm not
Speaker 1: voting for them anymore. Well good, I'm thinking of one
Speaker 1: Nation above the Libs as they're not offering enough to
Speaker 1: be different from Labor or reckon. The immigration stuf's pretty significant,
Speaker 1: but anyway it's out of control. So even if you
Speaker 1: vote one Nation, I think that person end up preferencing
Speaker 1: the Libs. Now in fairness, I do have to show
Speaker 1: you the polls that suggest that the changes to the
Speaker 1: Stage three tax cuts, the Made in Australia policy, the
Speaker 1: billion dollars to fight against domestic violence, and the energy
Speaker 1: bill relief, well they all got support from people, but
Speaker 1: no further del no further breakdowns abit whether they fully
Speaker 1: support or slightly support. So basically that's them trying to
Speaker 1: polish up their numbers. But the reality even with that
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars energy stuff, which really works out at
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars a month, what about the millionaires who
Speaker 1: own more than one house? Like this labor MP, is
Speaker 1: he going to claim it for every joint he owns
Speaker 1: he owns or just the one he lives in.
Speaker 4: Paul Fletcher who asked that question, My understanding is he
Speaker 4: hasn't had much of a business career in his life.
Speaker 4: He's always been employed in government or in government relations.
Speaker 4: You know, he doesn't understand how hard it is to
Speaker 4: make payroll. He doesn't understand how hard it is for
Speaker 4: a small business to grow. The Treasurer has said is
Speaker 4: that for each house where that house is tenanted and
Speaker 4: the tenant is paying the energy bill, the tenant is
Speaker 4: eligible for that rebate.
Speaker 1: Where a house is.
Speaker 4: Owned by an individual, that individual is eligible for the rebate.
Speaker 1: He earns more than one house that isn't tenant it,
Speaker 1: so albonrmic's on top of all of this. Alb normally
Speaker 1: means you get a little crumb off the table, but
Speaker 1: he gets a plane. In fact, they get two planes.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and the little fiddles with the brackets me
Speaker 1: and extra workers are going to fall into the top
Speaker 1: tax bracket next year, meaning they pay more tax. Welcome
Speaker 1: to Wilbonomics everyone where eventually you end up paying more. Now,
Speaker 1: the CFMU the political muscle of the Labor Party. Remember
Speaker 1: these unions, they're affiliated with the Labor Party. They donate
Speaker 1: for them, They go out and do the bully boy
Speaker 1: work when they get out on the poles. Well, how's
Speaker 1: about this. They protest an awful lot as well, including
Speaker 1: particularly in this case in Victoria. But what about this story.
Speaker 1: The sedation is that they want to now get people
Speaker 1: to more than two hundred thousand dollars a year who
Speaker 1: are on level one entry level jobs on sites as
Speaker 1: part of the Big Bill, taxpayer funded building projects by
Speaker 1: the state government. Entry level laborers and workers who hold
Speaker 1: stop and go signs on Victoria's big bill projects are
Speaker 1: now earning more than two hurred see thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1: The Herald Sun has seen tender documents and spoken in
Speaker 1: industry insiders about the iron grip that the union has
Speaker 1: around civil construction works funded by taxpayers, which even extends
Speaker 1: to union delegates, spanning non members from things like toilets
Speaker 1: and lunch rooms. Sorry, mate, this one's just for the
Speaker 1: Uniden whistleblowers have revealed how standouver tactics and intimidation are
Speaker 1: adding to the bills, with the union's strong arm being
Speaker 1: builders into using its preferred supplies after tender processes have
Speaker 1: played out. Oh this is really above board, isn't it?
Speaker 1: So how does all this works? Thanks to the Herald Sun,
Speaker 1: they use the data which came in part from the CFMEU.
Speaker 1: For an average week, forty hours of ordinary pay forty
Speaker 1: nine dollars, that's nine hundred bucks, sixteen hours of double
Speaker 1: time that's fifteen one hundred dollars. You get six days
Speaker 1: where the travel allowance that's three hundred and fifteen dollars.
Speaker 1: You get your meal allowance over six days it's one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six dollars. Jeez, I wish we've got
Speaker 1: some of this stuff when we do a weekend of
Speaker 1: our town. Anyway, side allowance for MEIGA projects two hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty plus, so that is four three hundred and
Speaker 1: nine dollars a week, otherwise two hundred hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: two dollars. Similar garbage has been going on in Queensland,
Speaker 1: but they would like the entry level to go up
Speaker 1: to two hundred and forty thousand dollars. And who's already
Speaker 1: approving of some of the stupid deals the CFM you
Speaker 1: were demanding in Queensland. Oh that's right, giggles, giggles, silly
Speaker 1: little giggles. Steven Miles, if ever you get the chance
Speaker 1: to punt him, please do so. The next election, let's
Speaker 1: go to America now, Camp down two. The first debate
Speaker 1: has just been weeks away. Oh gosh. Anyway, the meantime
Speaker 1: back in the courtroom Monday American time, which is Tuesday
Speaker 1: our time. And that's when Michael Cohen, the former lawyer
Speaker 1: and fixer fort Donald Trump, goes back on the stand. Now,
Speaker 1: when we come off the air last night, it was
Speaker 1: last week. It was incredible the lawyers were able to
Speaker 1: prove that one of the phone calls that he says
Speaker 1: was a phone call too. Trump to say, yep, sorted
Speaker 1: out the Stormy Daniel stuff. It was actually a call
Speaker 1: because literally text messages proved this. It was actually a
Speaker 1: call to his bodyguard about a fourteen year old crank
Speaker 1: calling him. It was nothing to do with Stormy Daniels.
Speaker 1: So the bit that the entire case is pinned on
Speaker 1: is a lie. But it's New York, so they'll probably
Speaker 1: still finding guilty. That said, it means the president had
Speaker 1: a chance not just to see his son graduate, which
Speaker 1: he did on Friday, but he was also able to
Speaker 1: go out and about on the campaign trail. And I've
Speaker 1: got to say that even when things go wrong, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's smart enough to know how to turn it into
Speaker 1: something else. Have a look, but Americans are not struggling.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: This is the worst platform. Who put this stage up there?
Speaker 6: This is the freaking place is falling down. It keeps
Speaker 6: tilting further left, like too many other things. What a
Speaker 6: crappy contractor this was? Now I put my hand on
Speaker 6: this thing, and the thing till silver. Oh, this sucker
Speaker 6: is really tenue. As I'm telling you, at some point
Speaker 6: I'll be staid.
Speaker 1: I won't leave and finish up.
Speaker 6: But this sucker is going to be sitting down there
Speaker 6: on the floor.
Speaker 1: So you saw what happens. He leans on the lectern.
Speaker 1: The lectern, isn't there something breaks underneath it. He turns
Speaker 1: into a bit, turns it into a riff. Well, of course,
Speaker 1: this is all a sign of the mental acuity of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Apparently the Biden campaign pounced on it after
Speaker 1: a gaff Field rally. Okay, if anyone wants to compare
Speaker 1: the pair, you just saw the format and potentially future
Speaker 1: president of the United States. He did not fall over.
Speaker 1: He did not fall over. The current president of the
Speaker 1: United States is the one who falls over. He's the
Speaker 1: one who can't put one foot in front of the other.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether it's giving a speech like that
Speaker 1: where it was a sandbag that knocked him out of
Speaker 1: the way. Whoa, come on, get up, get up again?
Speaker 1: He can't even walk up the stairs. I mean, how
Speaker 1: many times can I show you this stuff? Oh the end.
Speaker 1: Then there's the bike riding president. I'm amazing, look a
Speaker 1: gel and young Ah, that's all right, fellow, and so
Speaker 1: on and so on and so on. Compare that to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Oh, Trump's falling apart, please please, And of
Speaker 1: course the debates, which will be up in June. The
Speaker 1: reason they are in June is for two reasons. One,
Speaker 1: they can't get rid of Biden off the Democratic ticket.
Speaker 1: To Trump's able to say to the judge, should he
Speaker 1: be found guilty, don't send me to Joel. I've got
Speaker 1: a debate coming up in a few weeks time. So
Speaker 1: smart on both their cases to actually bring it up
Speaker 1: to June. But remember how Biden, of course slurs every
Speaker 1: single day, but for some reason the big occasions he's
Speaker 1: able to muster up the energy and stay focused. Or
Speaker 1: Trump says he doesn't want that to happen. He wants
Speaker 1: the real Biden to turn up to the debates, so
Speaker 1: that means time to piddle in a cup. Mister President,
Speaker 1: I'm going to demand a drug test too. By the way,
Speaker 1: I am, no, I really am.
Speaker 6: I don't want him coming in like the State of
Speaker 6: the Union.
Speaker 1: He was, heyre's a cake, he said, is that Joe
Speaker 1: up there? Beautiful rope?
Speaker 6: And by the end of the evening he's like where
Speaker 6: it was exhausted?
Speaker 1: Right? Oh yeah, Trump's falling apart. Falling apart a right,
Speaker 1: No sooks, no lefties plus Andrew Bogert no lefty either,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to wall of them in a moment
Speaker 1: or two's time. We're going to be in Parks this
Speaker 1: time next week. If you'd like to join us, please
Speaker 1: send me an email our town at skynews dot com
Speaker 1: dot au, Parks, Western New South Wales. Come say gooday.
Speaker 1: Otherwise we'll see on the telly this time next week.
Speaker 1: Plenty to fire up about next No sooks, no lefties.
Speaker 1: In a second, Thank you very much for watching those
Speaker 1: sooks no lefties here on the show. I give you
Speaker 1: because I just got my water and you almost saw
Speaker 1: one of my wonderful producers, Tom, the wonderful James ashby
Speaker 1: choice is along with the lovely Nicole Flint. Both of
Speaker 1: you hello, both running for federal Parliament and State parliament collectively.
Speaker 1: Let's talk quickly here about what happened in Victoria today,
Speaker 1: because again everyone has a right to protest, free speech,
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. But what I've just had
Speaker 1: enough of, and James, you've seen these for ten years
Speaker 1: and more right, the counter protest. Now the protest that
Speaker 1: was really happening at the front of the Parliament today
Speaker 1: was against anti Semitism, but it was the nut bangs
Speaker 1: who turned up to that protest and then created the
Speaker 1: problem now. Yesterday when they turned up at the Labor
Speaker 1: Party conference, the Premier was saying, do not give into
Speaker 1: the bullies. Will she be saying the same when it
Speaker 1: was on the steps of our own parliament today there
Speaker 1: was Jewish people, not Labor MP's that were the focus.
Speaker 7: Well, the Labor Party and the Greens for that matter,
Speaker 7: have allowed this Middle Eastern war to now enter our
Speaker 7: country and this is spilling over into all areas of
Speaker 7: not just our parliament arena, but into our university campuses.
Speaker 7: This has been happening week upon week upon week on
Speaker 7: the streets of Sydney and Melbourne, and we've seen it
Speaker 7: even in Queensland. Here I was at the upun markets,
Speaker 7: which was the last place I would have thought we'd
Speaker 7: have this conversation raised today, but it did surprise me.
Speaker 8: This morning. I had two people come up and say.
Speaker 7: They were horrified at the idea of Paul Hanson wearing
Speaker 7: the Israeli scarf around a neck during the week in parliament.
Speaker 7: And when I pushed back, jeez, didn't I see those
Speaker 7: tempers flare. There is so much propaganda that has been
Speaker 7: brought into this country and an actual fact that this
Speaker 7: war has entered many Western countries.
Speaker 8: England's the same, the US is the same. Enough is enough.
Speaker 8: We should have stamped this.
Speaker 7: Out when it started on our streets and at the
Speaker 7: Sydney Opera House, but instead Labor have fanned the flames.
Speaker 8: And this is only worsening. It's got to end well.
Speaker 1: And again, Nicole people are smart enough to know the
Speaker 1: difference between people who may well be marching in support
Speaker 1: of family members on the other side of the world, right,
Speaker 1: But when you're banging down the doors of the Labor
Speaker 1: Party conference or you're confronting people about anti Semitism, you're
Speaker 1: actually your people that are anti Jewish and pro Haamas.
Speaker 1: That's the reality. And I do think that there are
Speaker 1: gradients in this This particular gradient is where I'm absolutely
Speaker 1: going to draw triple lines. But again, as to James says,
Speaker 1: you know, everyone bringing this stuff from overseas to the
Speaker 1: fight here, we don't want it.
Speaker 9: And that's why we have been traditionally one of the
Speaker 9: most successful migrant nations in the world because people have
Speaker 9: come here for a new start and a new life,
Speaker 9: and they've less left those past tensions behind. And I
Speaker 9: just don't know why this continuing aggression is being tolerated.
Speaker 9: I don't know why we haven't seen more arrests. I
Speaker 9: don't know why we haven't seen the use of our
Speaker 9: human rights laws to address the deeply anti Semitic commentary
Speaker 9: and placards and things that continue to be used. It's
Speaker 9: just not good enough. We need to take a much
Speaker 9: tougher stance. And, as James said, in our universities as well.
Speaker 9: So we're seeing this behavior on the streets, no wonder,
Speaker 9: we're seeing it within our universities. And I just you know,
Speaker 9: am waiting for the University of Melbourne in particular, who
Speaker 9: have had a whole building shut down and classes are
Speaker 9: banned because the pro Palestine or proho Mask whatever they're
Speaker 9: claiming to be protesters have taken over a whole building.
Speaker 9: They need to take a leaf out of the President
Speaker 9: of Harvard's book, who shut down their encampment within ten
Speaker 9: days because they said, at Harvard, there will be consequences
Speaker 9: for your actions. Now, what a novel idea? Why aren't
Speaker 9: we seeing more consequences for the actions of all of
Speaker 9: these aggressive protesters wherever they are.
Speaker 1: Well, let's imagine what would happen if there was an
Speaker 1: encampment that the university bosses didn't agree with. How quickly
Speaker 1: that would be moved away? As opposed to what they've
Speaker 1: softly softly for a long time here now, Nicole, I
Speaker 1: think that Peter Dutton's budget response was bang on. Obviously
Speaker 1: the Labour Party's going to come out and pretend wasn't
Speaker 1: enough detail, rah rah police how small was the target
Speaker 1: for this moment? When they went into power let alone,
Speaker 1: they pretend they didn't lie about things like two seventy five.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what when you're going around and
Speaker 1: knocking on the doors of boothby, If you're able to
Speaker 1: say no foreign buyers at auctions for the next couple
Speaker 1: of years and a massive cut the number of people
Speaker 1: coming into the country, what do people say back?
Speaker 9: I have been so encouraged and pleased with the response
Speaker 9: to Peter Dutton's budget in reply address, there is so
Speaker 9: much support for what we're doing, and you know what
Speaker 9: people are saying, Paul, They're just like, thank goodness, at
Speaker 9: lasts some common sense action and real action, not just
Speaker 9: more platitudes and you know, as Labour keeps pretending that
Speaker 9: they're going to fix things and then giving us taxpayers
Speaker 9: money back like this three hundred dollars alledge cut in
Speaker 9: your power bills. Well, they promise to actually cut the
Speaker 9: price of power. They haven't cut the price of power.
Speaker 9: They're just using taxpayers money and giving it back to
Speaker 9: us to pretend they're cutting the price of power. But
Speaker 9: Peter Dutton's budget in reply response has been extremely well
Speaker 9: received and people are just so pleased to see a
Speaker 9: leader who has the courage to stand up and say
Speaker 9: what everyone else is thinking at long last, and to
Speaker 9: actually put some practical policies out there, and some brave
Speaker 9: policies because we know all of the left will just
Speaker 9: be what they already are tearing him down because he's
Speaker 9: taken a brave stance on migration. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 9: The population, the members of my community, many of them,
Speaker 9: most of them are welcoming it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, James, when you're at the markets, what do they
Speaker 1: talk about? They talk about the immigration side of it.
Speaker 1: Are they talking about the power side of it? What
Speaker 1: are they talking about?
Speaker 7: Look, they've been using those slogans for one nation for
Speaker 7: a long time, we've got the guts to say what
Speaker 7: you're thinking and common sense. That's what one nation has
Speaker 7: stood for for twenty six years with Paul Lane Hansen.
Speaker 7: So look, Peter Dutton's finally jumped onto the bandwagon on
Speaker 7: pleased that he's dipped his toe in the water and
Speaker 7: is talking about reduction of immigration. But when you have
Speaker 7: a look back at the history of where we thought
Speaker 7: this country was going to be, Peter Costello, when he
Speaker 7: was in government, said that Australia wouldn't reach a population
Speaker 7: of twenty five million until the twenty forties. We have
Speaker 7: smashed that. We've absolutely obliterated that number. Here we are
Speaker 7: approaching twenty seven million people and we are finally talking
Speaker 7: about the reduction of immigration. No, the truth is we
Speaker 7: have been poorly planning for the growth of this country
Speaker 7: for far too long.
Speaker 8: This has been decades in the making.
Speaker 7: The disaster that we're faced with now, the hospitals, the
Speaker 7: housing situation, the crime, it's out of control. Why because
Speaker 7: we have not been putting the resources towards infrastructure. Instead,
Speaker 7: we've just let the floodgates open. So instead of just
Speaker 7: dropping our immigration back to one hundred and sixty thousand,
Speaker 7: Peter needs to think about a moratorium, not net zero immigration,
Speaker 7: a moratorium on immigration for quite some time, because the
Speaker 7: reality is we are not coping as a country.
Speaker 8: And yes, if.
Speaker 7: We stop it, we will reduce those rent prices, we
Speaker 7: will reduce the cost of housing in this country. But
Speaker 7: until we take a tough, hard line here, we're going
Speaker 7: to continue down this path of suffering. That's young people,
Speaker 7: old people. You know it's two years to get into
Speaker 7: a nursing home in yr Pun. Nurses here are saying
Speaker 7: you can wait two years to get into a nursing home.
Speaker 7: Bugger that No wonder older people are staying down in
Speaker 7: the southeast corner and not moving the regional parts of
Speaker 7: this country. We're ill prepared, ill equipped stop the immigration.
Speaker 1: All right now. The concept of the number of people
Speaker 1: that are on the doll, I know that Pauline's talked
Speaker 1: about this a lot. How the heck a seventy sixty
Speaker 1: seven thousand people on the doll after ten years? I mean, James,
Speaker 1: this problem has been identified multiple times, but nobody ever
Speaker 1: seemingly wants to pick it up and deal with it.
Speaker 1: So how do you shake sixty seven thousand people off
Speaker 1: the doll? If they've been there for teen years.
Speaker 7: Well, you've got to take a tough approach, and the
Speaker 7: reality is we are not here to make a lifestyle
Speaker 7: out of being unemployed at every other hard worker's expense.
Speaker 7: If you're a penchianner, you've earned your right to have
Speaker 7: some time to yourself and not work and rely on
Speaker 7: those who do work in this country for a better life.
Speaker 7: But those grubs that just want to sit there and
Speaker 7: constantly have their handout, shame on you, because you're not
Speaker 7: only doing it to yourself, but you're also raising part
Speaker 7: of your family to think that that's okay as well.
Speaker 7: So we're ending up with multi generations of these people
Speaker 7: that think it's okay to live off the taxpayer. We've
Speaker 7: got to pull this up because it just can't keep
Speaker 7: going on. We're going to end up broke as a country,
Speaker 7: and we need people to go back to work because
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, working's good for you
Speaker 7: as much as it is for the economy and for
Speaker 7: your own self wealth as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean, nicole people watching us right now
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. If there's a person who can't work,
Speaker 1: there's a whole series of other categorizations or payments that
Speaker 1: one can go on to. So the idea that somebody
Speaker 1: keeps sitting on unemployment benefits, which in my view are
Speaker 1: too low, but they should be higher the shorter that
Speaker 1: you're on them, as opposed to somebody who just is
Speaker 1: able to sit on close to minimum wage. Fourteen years
Speaker 1: in unemployment.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's pretty extraordinary to hear that length of time
Speaker 9: that people are spending on welfare. And I mean, I
Speaker 9: would imagine after a year or two, they've probably lost
Speaker 9: most of the skills they need to effectively operate in
Speaker 9: a workplace. And you know, let's remember not to put
Speaker 9: the burden onto businesses by forcing them or trying to
Speaker 9: force them to take on people who actually have lost
Speaker 9: all of the skills. You know, it's related. I remember
Speaker 9: that Bill, Bill English and John Key had a really
Speaker 9: good program that supported single mums to get off of
Speaker 9: welfare in New Zealand, and they did it through a
Speaker 9: very careful program. And I just wonder if we need
Speaker 9: to look at something along those lines for really long
Speaker 9: term unemployed, because they start going to need some skills
Speaker 9: to enable them to actually get back into the workforce
Speaker 9: and not put the burden onto employers.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there wasn't anywhere in Laura Tingle's essay
Speaker 1: about what Australia could learn from New Zealand when it
Speaker 1: was all just about the dissenter our turn years now
Speaker 1: quickly to both of you before we get to some
Speaker 1: bold predictions to the wak ahead. It was ready a
Speaker 1: story today in Queensland about people who actually live in
Speaker 1: Fortitude Valley. Now, Fortitude Valley's kind of always been where
Speaker 1: the rock and roll, the parties, the strippers, all the
Speaker 1: rest of its arts, where the fun times are. Yet
Speaker 1: locals are saying, oh, too much noise. I must complain now,
Speaker 1: I'm sick of this sort of sook Like if you
Speaker 1: deliberately live in the city, then there's a certain amount
Speaker 1: of noise that comes with if you live in the
Speaker 1: parts of it where there's a rock venue at the
Speaker 1: other end of the street, then Nicole, why are people complaining?
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason you live there is for the
Speaker 1: action of the area. Yet they turn around and winge
Speaker 1: because at eleven o'clock someone might be playing the drums.
Speaker 9: Precisely, you know, if the pub or the live music
Speaker 9: venue has been there, and usually they have been there
Speaker 9: for you know, fifty one hundred plus years. Do your
Speaker 9: research before you move into the air and if that's
Speaker 9: not your sort of lifestyle, don't move in there. Don't
Speaker 9: try and shut down again hardworking Aussie businesses providing a
Speaker 9: wonderful service for the community and keeping our live music
Speaker 9: scene alive. We've got a very similar issue here in
Speaker 9: Adelaide at the moment with the Cranker, the Crown and
Speaker 9: Anchor Hotel that developers are trying to build residential apartments
Speaker 9: above it, and they are a protests going on at
Speaker 9: the moment to try and save it. Because we all
Speaker 9: know precisely.
Speaker 1: What will happen.
Speaker 9: Those people who move in will try and shut them down.
Speaker 1: I literally remember enough one of my favorite pubs in
Speaker 1: the world went to every single weekend for the best
Speaker 1: part of twenty years. Then it two got renovated. The
Speaker 1: people who moved into the apartments above the pub complained
Speaker 1: about the pub. Simple solution here, state government gets together
Speaker 1: with local government. Your grandfather the existing properties for as
Speaker 1: long as they have been there, and therefore anyone who
Speaker 1: moves in loses the right to appeal about what has
Speaker 1: already been there before them, bugging them. James Bold prediction
Speaker 1: for the weak ahead.
Speaker 7: Bold prediction is label will claim that they were the
Speaker 7: ones behind eight million dollars for a hospice facility here
Speaker 7: in Rockampton that opens tomorrow. The truth is it was
Speaker 7: One Nation and I've got to say thank you to
Speaker 7: Josh Friedenberg for seeing reason in funding this facility that
Speaker 7: opens tomorrow, ten new beds, the most northern hospice in Queensland.
Speaker 7: And we say thank you to both the Coalition and
Speaker 7: the One Nation.
Speaker 1: For good Man, We'll make sure that if you're not there,
Speaker 1: we'll make sure that you get the credit. And I'm
Speaker 1: glad you got it tonight. All right, go for it, Nicole.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm in my best Liberal blue colors this evening
Speaker 9: poll because I believe that Peter Dutton's budget and reply
Speaker 9: response will continue to be far more more popular and
Speaker 9: successful than the government's budget itself.
Speaker 1: I agree, all right, Cutting no foreign buyers is a
Speaker 1: lot easier than Oh look, you know, if you fill
Speaker 1: out this form and that form you might get you know,
Speaker 1: fifty cents back at ps. The Prime Minister gets not
Speaker 1: one but two new planes. Two new planes. Welcome to ourbonomics.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, appreciate it. All right, quick break back
Speaker 1: with Andrew Boget straight up for this. Lots about the
Speaker 1: woke wall the sport. Now, thank you so much for watching.
Speaker 1: Wherever you happen to be. Let's have a chat right
Speaker 1: now with Andrew Boget played basketball for his country and
Speaker 1: stands by it each and every day on Twitter x
Speaker 1: and on his podcast, the Rogues Books podcast. How are
Speaker 1: you mate? Very good? Let's talk sausage sizzles. I can't
Speaker 1: believe this. There's a footy club they have a sausage sizzle,
Speaker 1: and then somebody who is operating the sausage sizzle blows
Speaker 1: up about the sausage sizzle.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Sometimes generally feed the kids and the parents and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. Will maybe provide a club fundraiser, and
Speaker 5: you know, you have someone hiking up about their cause
Speaker 5: or their political stance on Things'd be really hard to
Speaker 5: competitions and fundraisers together these days.
Speaker 1: I reckon ball. Yeah, a little bit hard. Look again,
Speaker 1: if you're vegan, good luck to you. There's lots of
Speaker 1: things you can do in and around the club. But
Speaker 1: you don't have to change the stakes that have to
Speaker 1: change because you are the one that wants it to change.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of other places to go to. Now I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you about Tom Brady. Now, millions
Speaker 1: of people around the world. I don't know how many
Speaker 1: watching us right now, but certainly millions of people around
Speaker 1: the world watch the Tom Brady Roast. Now, anyone who
Speaker 1: knows the form of roast comedy, this is when a
Speaker 1: bunch of people who know you and a bunch of
Speaker 1: comedians who don't deliberately say the meanest possible things about
Speaker 1: you for the ammusement of the audience. And at one point,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was to raise money for charity. But
Speaker 1: Tom Brady got paid like twenty million, yes that much
Speaker 1: for one night, to sit there for three hours and
Speaker 1: copy it. But he's come out and said, oh I
Speaker 1: regret doing it. Now, hang on why he got the
Speaker 1: twenty minute and he knew what he was in for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I watch the roast. First hour was
Speaker 5: pretty good. The rest was pretty crap in my opinion.
Speaker 5: But look, if you're his kid watching it, you know
Speaker 5: probably have a fact at their mother or sorry, their kids.
Speaker 5: Probably not something you want to watch and probably something
Speaker 5: you regret. I'm not sure he needed the money to
Speaker 5: do it, so maybe he should have thought it through
Speaker 5: a little bit better. But yeah, those things that are
Speaker 5: pretty brutal, and there's a lot of kind of stuff
Speaker 5: that went where over the line, but that's kind of
Speaker 5: the point of them. It's kind of car crash, you know,
Speaker 5: where you can't look away.
Speaker 1: They literally joke about teammates that were involved in murder
Speaker 1: like that's how hardcore, let alone the sort of you
Speaker 1: know what his ex wife may or may not be doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as you say now about concussions, what do you think
Speaker 1: of this report that such a significan number was at
Speaker 1: one in ten, So ten percent of all AFL players
Speaker 1: are hiding what's actually going on between their ears.
Speaker 5: Pretty concerning.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: I've only had one concussion, which I was out for
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks. It took me a while to
Speaker 5: get back into training and whatnot, just getting busy and
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff, and thankfully only one. I've
Speaker 5: acteammates that have had multiples, And it's it's tough because
Speaker 5: you still you still want to be out there for
Speaker 5: the guys and playing, and I notice clubs and people
Speaker 5: out there in all sports that will try to press
Speaker 5: you to put you back on the field faster. Have
Speaker 5: you played through things.
Speaker 1: If it's a big.
Speaker 5: Game, it'll have a big game, you know, preliminary, final,
Speaker 5: grand final. I just suck it up and you you'll
Speaker 5: be all right. But now, knowing what we know about
Speaker 5: CTE and the long term effects, it's it's a pretty
Speaker 5: it's pretty testing waters. I'd be really interested to see clubs.
Speaker 5: I don't think it'd be official pushing it, just because
Speaker 5: I think the notifications is so big, But it's just
Speaker 5: something that you can't avoid with contacts board. He did
Speaker 5: something like basketball, which isn't a direct contact bort all
Speaker 5: the time. There's multiple concussions, so you go cautiously, and
Speaker 5: I think you definitely don't like hearing those kind of numbers.
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, it would seem obvious if it's
Speaker 1: not already happening. But there's got to be some sort
Speaker 1: of a test that can be done game day, two
Speaker 1: days later, four days later, and players just know they've
Speaker 1: got to go through it. It's done independently, so you
Speaker 1: don't have you know, a club doctor or pressure on
Speaker 1: a club. And I know it's frustrating for the player
Speaker 1: who wants to it feels fit enough, and the officials
Speaker 1: who think it's all okay. But yeah, all right, final
Speaker 1: predictions here. I've got a mad Denver Nuggets fan who
Speaker 1: produces the program, and I am a longtime Knicks fan
Speaker 1: who is nervous what's going to happen to morrow?
Speaker 5: I think the league's on your side, Paul, so I
Speaker 5: think they're definitely what the Knicks in the conference finals.
Speaker 5: It might be right, but Indiana is a pretty dangerous
Speaker 5: team that can get super hot really quick, or they
Speaker 5: can be really bad. The Minnesota den begins. Want to
Speaker 5: watch Minnesota big then by forty points in Game six
Speaker 5: the time the series up, So I think it's anybody's game,
Speaker 5: and it's just cool to see new teams in there
Speaker 5: that haven't been there last couple of seasons. So I'm
Speaker 5: looking for or to see who gets those coffins files
Speaker 5: on both sides.
Speaker 1: Well, sadly we're out of time now, and no doubt
Speaker 1: this will be dealt with on the Roguespokes podcast. But
Speaker 1: if the league plays a role in who wins, we
Speaker 1: could have a whole other segment, a whole other segment here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna make some real news around the world, thank
Speaker 1: you very much, mate. But I'm with you, Yes, I
