WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 11 June 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:07.240 From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Hi, 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:09.560 my friend. Now, yes, of course I'm going to talk 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:14.160 about what percent of one percent of global emissions we 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.759 should be dealing with before twenty thirty. Yes, of course 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.880 I'll talk about the ludicrousness of the everything must go 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.760 closing down sale of the Queensland budget. And yes, I'll 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.360 even find a way to have a little chat about 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.760 Joe Biden celebrating June teenth and proving that yeah, it's 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:38.360 true about rhythm. Perhaps about first, may I start with 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.960 something a little dangerous. It's called a laugh. Now, I've 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.120 got to say that I didn't think that Trump could 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.559 be funnier on the campaign trail than when he was 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.640 running for reelection and he was talking about taps and toilets. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.000 Try going and buying the new faucet. You turn it on, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:58.959 nor water comes out. 0:00:59.080 --> 0:00:59.280 Right. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.600 We won't talk about toilets, but you know that's a 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:09.120 deep But how about the shower. You go into a 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.800 shower and I have this beautiful head of hair, I 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:16.240 need a lot of water, and you go into the shower, right, 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:23.280 you turn on the water. Drip, drip, drip. I called 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.200 the games something wrong with this? No sir, it's just 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:25.920 a restrictor. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.120 So you're in there five times longer than you're supposed 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:29.360 to be. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.200 It goes on a lot longer. But it was funny, right, 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.240 every now and then, just guess, everything is incredibly serious 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:37.680 and the world's all very serious, but every now and 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.360 then there's a bit of funny. And there was a 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.440 bit of funny that came out of Trump's most recent 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.520 rally in the state of Nevada. Now this is, of 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.520 course the state home to Las Vegas, where currently it's 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.600 bloody hot. But for the first time in a long time, 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.800 a Republican Trump looks like he could win the state. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.559 If he wins the state, then he's a massive chance 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.080 of being returned as the president. But I've got to say, 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.920 there was one little bit inside a speech that was yes, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.880 talking about all the very serious issues, but I couldn't 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.440 help but think, thanks for the loft, Donald, this is 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.760 probably the next president of the United States. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.800 I went to a boat company in South Carolina the 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.160 boat I said, how is it? He said, it's a problem, sir. 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.959 They want us to make all electric boats. So I said, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.200 let me ask you a question, and he said, nobody 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.440 ever asked this question, and it must. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:25.040 Because of Mit. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.560 My relationship to Mit. Very smart. He goes, I say, 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.480 what would happen if the boat sank from its weight 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.520 and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.639 powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there's 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.560 a shark that's approximately ten yards over there? 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.919 Went out of shark attacks lately, did not said a lot. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.160 Of shok Do I get electrocuted? If the boat is sinking? 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.640 Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.160 I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted? 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.800 Or do I jump over by the shark and not 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.880 get electrocuted? Because I will tell you he didn't know. 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.720 They said, you know, nobody's ever asked me that question. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:04.880 I said, I think it's a good question. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.160 I think there's a lot of electric current coming through 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:07.560 that water. 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.120 But you know what I'd do if there was a 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:10.280 shark or you. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.720 Get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time. 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.360 Who knew this was a dilemma when you woke up today? 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.200 Did you think you'd have to choose between the electrified 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.360 boat falling into the water versus the shark? Which would 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:32.040 you choose again. Just something silly that said in the 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.880 middle of a long election campaign that's still got months 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.560 and months ago, right, And for some people it's not 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.480 serious enough. I don't have a problem with it. You 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.760 don't have a problem with it. It's just silly, right. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.600 But this is how it's interpreted the next day on 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.680 lefty TV in the United States. This is like Karen 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:52.720 in four k. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.960 Some would call that completely unfit to deal with the 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.840 challenges as the leader the free world. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.120 Just completely unfed. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:14.240 M Look, as I said, the world's a tough place, war, 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.960 cost of living, poverty, whatever's going on in our own lives. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.760 People getting sick, people that we love getting sick, maybe 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:26.200 us getting sick every now and then. Can we just 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.080 giggle at the shee's silliness of it? This is the 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.120 most perfect, eloquent thing that a presidential candidate has ever said. No, 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.600 but it's a laugh. Who cares? Does anyone really think 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.080 that this is a deep psychological insight into the failures 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.080 of the future leader of the third Right? Look, come on, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.680 you can hate them on all the policies, you can, yes, 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.880 even roll your eyes if you want. But if you 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:58.440 don't find the dilemma ridiculous, Then maybe you do take 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:06.680 yourself now before again, I get to what percent of 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:11.080 one percent of global emission should we do reduce in 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.960 Australia by twenty thirty and then twenty fifty, I'll get 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:15.279 to it, right. I know that's what the rest of 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.200 everyone's on about. But there was a story that was 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.440 rather noticeable today that I'm surprised wasn't a little bit louder. 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:29.360 And it's a story about water. Now. I love my wife, 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.719 but she's a bottle water kind of person, right, She's 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.919 never really been a tap water kind of person. She 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.480 likes this. We buy it by the box every week. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.520 That's what she likes. I good old fashioned tap water 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.320 that doesn't bother me. I'll even occasionally do the Bogan 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.279 thing of drinking out of the tap myself. No need 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:52.479 for the glass. Yes, the uncouthness that comes in the 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.800 form of this presenter each and every night. However, there 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:02.919 was a interesting story today which was about potential contamination 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.799 of our drinking water supply. Now, there was a report 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.760 which seems to be a bit of an extrapolation of 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.440 something that's happened out of America. But the suggestion is 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.760 that the drinking water of like two million people Sydney 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:23.480 Melbourne in particular may will be contaminated by atmospheric issues 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.040 that end up landing in the water and if you 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.000 end up consuming an awful lot of it, well it's 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:34.120 not good for you. As the Sydney Morning Herald led today, 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.760 and this was their big exclusive, which again seemed to 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.640 be slight repurposing of some data out of the United 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.760 States and some interpretation that's come out of activist groups. Here, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.360 the mast Head has analyzed publicly available data which indicates 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.800 the chemicals that are found in drinking water of up 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.240 to one point eight million Australians since twenty ten. So 0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:00.159 headline screams the water's going to give you cancer, but 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.320 the actual numbers think about that, that's over fourteen year. Okay, 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.120 the numbers start to slow a little here, but let's 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.080 turn the machine up to eleven and scare the people 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.440 that they did in the media today. What's the type 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.000 of chemicals We're talking about. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.400 Two pre fas contaminants p FOSS and PFI And what 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.880 they found is that there is likely linked to a 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.040 number of cancer endpoints, so tarticular and breast cancer, Kinney 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.280 cancer and other health effects. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:33.960 As well just one second, probably not if that's the 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.840 case right. But interestingly, questions that followed up around all 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.280 of this today was okay, so how much do you 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.600 need to drink and how much exposure before any of 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.600 those things actually kick off in your body? The answer, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.320 even from the people that were trying to freak us 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.520 out today was we don't know. So it Does it 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.960 mean it's not a story? No, not quite. Does it 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.240 mean that we're all going to die because of the 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.880 drinking water that we have in our country? No? Now, 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.800 I know that our opinions of the chief Health officers 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.600 is a little dodgy at the moment in Australia after 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.280 they got it so right during COVID, But everyone who's 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.520 in charge of the machine and in charge of the 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:19.120 system says nothing to see here would actually encourage people 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:19.760 to drink water. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.720 We are very blessed with very safe water, so I 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.480 have no concerns about the safety and quality. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.640 Laterst data should be very reassuring. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.160 In fact, I'd be very comfortable to drink water from 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.760 anywhere in Australia at the current level. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.240 Okay, doctor Kerry Chand I don't quite trust her do 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.199 trust Nick Codsworth, because of course he was one of 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.280 the same people who came out drink COVID going okay, 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.480 kids can still go to school, and the stuff that 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.200 Daniel Andrews and Martin McGowan got a gold medal for. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.400 So this was a weird story. Today the headlines would 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.120 have you believe that all tap order is terrible and 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.160 you must get a filter because if you're exposed to 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.680 too much of it, you'll end up getting cancer. But 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.959 then if the public health officials are being very direct 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.720 and telling us no, that's not the case, well, then 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.720 who's the one being irresponsible here? I can't tend because 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.200 I don't know. I'm not the scientist. Obviously, is it 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.839 the people that are exposing the problem or is it 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.360 the public health officials that aren't taking it seriously enough? 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.320 But interestingly, you would have thought that someone trying to 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.920 get stories around today that claim the evidence is that 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.000 there might be a problem with the drinking water supply 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.000 for a certain period of people over a certain period 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.880 of time would be bigger news. Or did other people 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.040 just realize maybe this isn't what it seems. Either way, 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.240 there's either a huge story. No one's talking about here, 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.920 or a story we shouldn't be talking about because it 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.600 isn't a story at all. On second thoughts, just drink up. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:50.800 It's all going to make us sick, isn't it eventually, 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.000 I assume? But take health advice from me, the morbidly 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.720 a B smoker. Anyway. Now, the thing that they were 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.800 all obsessed about today in Canberra had plenty of questions 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.040 and fingers ready to poke towards a person in power, 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:11.120 was what percent of one percent of global emissions should 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:17.240 Australia be committing to in twenty thirty. Now this is 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.680 a helpful graph. I made sure that we updated it 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.520 from the other one that we've shown you, which shows 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.880 from the Union of Concerned Scientists. It shows that of 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.840 all of the countries that are producing CO two and problems, 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.120 China would be thirty three percent, India would be the 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.960 best part of ten percent, the United States fourteen percent, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:41.280 Russia five point eight percent, Indonesia, Little Old Indonesia, Well, 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.720 little old Indonesia's two hundred and fifty million people, isn't 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.920 it five and a bit percent? The twenty seven countries 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.320 in the EU four point nine percent, then South Korea 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.320 and then others is thirteen. Now I had to break 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.120 it to you, but Australia is lumped in with others. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.800 Why because, as I've said, where one percent of the 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.400 world's problem. Now, does that mean we should do nothing? 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.720 Because who cares nine to nine problems and the atmosphere 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:14.040 ain't one. No, of course we should be doing something. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.199 But the question is should we be doing things that 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.400 end up costing too much money, hurting our economy, making 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.520 things too difficult for people, or, in the case of 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:27.160 the rapid expansion of renewable energy, should be literally destroying 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.640 the earth in order to save the atmosphere. Now, of course, 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.080 those that demand absolute urgent climate action suggest that the 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.120 figures I have just presented to you are myth leading 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.080 myth information, because on per capita amounts, Australia is one 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.120 of the biggest polluters in the world. The problem is 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.480 you don't actually measure it that way. If the problem 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.640 is how much CO two has been put into the 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.680 atmosphere by humans, the result is just how much is 0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.360 up and about, and the direct correlation is how much 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.880 each country is throwing up, not how many people are 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.640 throwing it up. Again, can we go back to the 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.800 map thirty three percent of the problem thirty three times 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:16.080 worse than anything Australia could do right now is China, 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.439 Yet under the Paris Agreement thirty one percent. I apologize. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.160 Under the Paris Agreement, of course, we have this nonsense 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:27.239 where the western country is chiefly places like Canada, New Zealand, Australia, 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.959 the United States, Well, they all have to measure their crap. 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.320 They're thrown into the atmosphere from two thousand and five. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:40.400 But China, which is currently thirty times more than countries 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.520 like Australia, they can continue to do whatever they want 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.120 until twenty thirty. That's why I think the Paris Agreement 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.040 is not quite worth the paper that it's written on. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.600 Not because we shouldn't do anything about climate change. It's 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.319 just isn't the issue that the person who's actually got 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:59.280 thirty bonfires in their backyard versus your one bonfire in 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.760 your backyard probably should put out a few of their 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.199 bonfires before we have to completely snuff out our bonfire 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.800 from which we get our heat and are able to 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.360 cook our food. Well, today the Prime Minister thinks that 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.920 he has found a way to change his slump in 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:20.360 the Poles, which was not saved by saving Andrew Giles, 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.280 the hopeless Immigration Minister, from a few weeks of failures 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.800 in the Parliament. It was not to be saved by 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.080 too little, too late in the budget. Instead, he thinks, 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.000 let's go back and let's pretend the Liberals are all 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:36.520 auger booger on climate change and China means nothing. Here's 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:37.319 what he said today. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:43.040 No twenty thirty target means walking out of the Paris Agreement. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.920 Now they have a number of policies over recent days, 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.359 but it's very clear that they can't be taken seriously 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.559 on an issue that is important to Australians today. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:58.800 And here is what Peter Dunton actually had to say, 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:00.440 which by the way, is not there will be no 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.280 target for twenty thirty. It's just you know what, you're 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.240 forty three percent, which we didn't agree to at the 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.840 last election, we won't agree to at the next election. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.920 I know Shakhara breaking news roll the tape of the 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.080 alternative Prime Minister. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.000 We know that with the energy policy which is a 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.200 complete train wreck. The renewable is only energy policy of 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.000 the government. It's driving prices up. At the next election 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.960 it will be about who do you trust to bring 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.240 your electricity prices down. It will be about who do 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.080 you trust to manage the economy and to deal with 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.760 the cost of living crisis. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:33.600 That Labour's created. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.160 It will be about who do you trust to deal 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:40.200 with the housing crisis that labor has created in our country. 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.040 So the election is soon next year, but either way 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.440 it feels like we get into that stage where we're 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.920 having the proxy election. And because it's up to the 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.000 Prime Minister whether it happens in August, which is the 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.760 earliest opportunity, or all the way through main Dune of 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.560 next year, which is the longest opportunity, we're going to 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.320 be in this cycle for some time. But how did 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.480 the media interpret all of this today? Did they lay 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:03.720 it out the same way that I have for the 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.640 past few days that they're not really pulling out of 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.880 the Paris Agreement, they're just not agreeing with what they 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.400 didn't vote for in the Parliament, which is forty three percent. Well, 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.800 of course, here's the man who called Tony Abbott the 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.680 most divisive political leader of his generation. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.800 On Channel nine, Peter Dutton says he remains committed to 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:25.280 net zero emissions by twenty fifty, but today he effectively 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:31.720 abandoned Astraita's legislated short term target electorally risky, especially in 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.440 inner city electorates. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:40.760 Yes, the opposition that didn't support the forty three percent 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:45.000 emissions cut when they were the government, and as the 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.840 opposition that did not vote for that target are promising 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:54.080 not to follow what they have opposed should they become elected. 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.480 Mind blown. Right, they never agreed with the policy of 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.000 forty three they never voted for it, and they won't 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.480 abide by it should they become the government. But of 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.440 course the sky is falling and this will just be 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.760 such a problem, and all those teal seats and they'll 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.480 never get to seventy seventy six seats, you know, all 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:18.760 of that. Right again, all of this, in honesty is 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.160 the Labor Party trying to change the subject. Because in politics, 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.760 when you're on the defense, I eat, the story is 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.200 always about you, and you have to defend yourself for 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.200 whatever reason. Then generally speaking, you are losing the day. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.120 The government has been on the backfoot since how long 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.360 in the last year on cost of living, and then 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.160 it was the tax cuts, and then it was the 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.520 immigration stuff. They've been on the back foot for months 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.480 and now it's fifty to fifty in the polls. So 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.600 as I showed you in chapter and verse in great 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.760 detail on Sunday night, Monday night, and again tonight, Petty 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.040 Dutton did not say we're yanking ourselves out of the 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.080 Paris Agreement. Instead, their position is we'll have a target 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.400 if we have to for twenty thirty, but it's going 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:01.840 to be lower than the one that you currently have, 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.600 the one that currently is forcing people to make certain 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.919 choices about cars and making the ones you want to 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.480 buy more expensive than the ones you don't want to buy. 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.240 Changing from an electricity grid that has worked to one 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.680 that hopefully fingers crossed that. A couple of years ago 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:19.760 the CSIO toldas was going to be a trillion dollars 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.119 worth of transition, but now magically it's only five hundred 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.280 billion dollars worth of transition. But nuclear is unacceptable because 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.800 it will cost billions of dollars for transition. You are 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.880 forgiven if you are a little dumb struck at times 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:38.560 by how this debate works. Well, guess what actually happened today. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.359 There was an opinion poll, which we would think would 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.160 inform some of the media coverage about whether people had 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.360 changed their attitudes from where they were. Yes, just back 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.280 in twenty twenty two, what is the likelihood that the 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.399 Urbanese government will meet its aggressive emissions target of forty 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:58.560 three percent by twenty thirty Sixty nine percent of people 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:03.000 say unlikely or very likely. And then here's the question, 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:10.120 should Australia elevate energy reliability and affordability above sustainability. That's 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.320 now clicked in at fifty one to forty three with 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.960 six percent of people still making their mind up. It 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:24.200 was true in two thousand and seven, ten, thirteen, sixteen, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:29.639 nineteen and twenty two that Australians are always in favor 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.879 of action on climate change, but I don't want to 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:37.000 pay for it. When the government is not doing enough 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.200 on climate change, the poles say, we demand the government 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.679 does more. When the government decides to do more, but 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.560 it ends up costing you more through things like power bills, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.919 the Australian population always flips back to say, I'm sorry, 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.439 this is costing me too much money. And that's not 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.040 because they don't understand the problem of climate change. It's 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.639 not because they don't want to do something about climate change. 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.080 It's because I think in all of our little heart 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.919 of hearts. We know that Australia is one percent of 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:09.760 the world's problem, China is thirty percent, India is ten percent. 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:14.960 Russia is six times more than us. So yes, should 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.520 we do something. But if we did everything, which would 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.440 shut everything down, change everything in our lives, everyone getting 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.280 around on penny farthings like the Greens would like it 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.760 to be, we won't actually change the climate. Misinformation from 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:35.080 Scarni is the primetime. No, that's the reality. If everyone 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:36.840 was moving at the same place as Australia, then yeah, 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.159 probably could probably break the problems back. But until China, 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:45.280 who was producing the most, starts having to play by 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.720 the same rules as everyone else, then nothing is really 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.240 going to happen. Because I hate to break it to people, 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.280 and while I am not a scientist, I think I 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.320 can work this out. The pollution that is produced by 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.040 one country goes on to affair other countries. For US, 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.679 yep one percent of the problem, but China thirty percent. 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.359 So even if the Green's got their way, we'd still 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:13.320 have bushfires, We'll still have flooding events, and will still 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.880 have cyclones. None of that means we do nothing. It's 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.080 just about the pace in which we do it. That's 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.880 the debate. But for the people who have replaced the 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:29.840 religion with a God and holy texts, the thing they 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.560 believe in with the same fervor as those who believe 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.520 in the burning bush, is that climate change is the 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:37.879 existential problem. If we don't do every and anything about it, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:39.159 then we're all going to die. We're all going to 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.600 be sent to hell metaphorically. Well, I can tell you 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.040 a form of hell exists right now. And it's an 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:50.240 inconvenient truth to people on the extreme left who demand 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.439 greater action on climate change because they can afford to 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.480 pay it. There are people amongst us who can't afford 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.120 the cost of the transit. These will be the same 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.480 people who will always be unable to afford the cost 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.800 of transition. But what's really happening. They're getting the same 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.480 financial relief from this government as the people who live 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:15.560 in mansions inteel electorates of twenty five dollars a month. 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.680 This is a specific example out of New South Wales. 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.480 Figures provided the Sunday Telegraph show the number of applications 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.720 for assistance emergency assistance when it comes to power bills 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.199 is two hundred and fifty a day back during the 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.040 in bits of the pandemic to now three hundred and 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:37.280 thirty a day in the past six months. Last year, 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:40.399 the combined number of government and charity issued vouchers for 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:45.720 power was just over seventy thousand one state, which is 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.800 just over sixty thousand and sixty two thousand in the 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:55.159 COVID lockdown years. Yet, because the people who are on 0:21:55.200 --> 0:22:00.359 the left of politics want to make the decisions about 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:06.000 changing our power grid by moving to exclusively or renewables 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.440 at least what eighty something percent in the next few 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.399 years and eventually one hundred percent. Now, this will make 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.400 them all feel good when they go to climate conferences, 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.879 and after you've paid it off from being built. Maybe 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.520 there is a financial change, but the cost of transition, 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:24.760 the same cost of transition that I've talked about for 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.919 ten years, can't be ignored. The question is whether the 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.040 politics is going to be with Peter Dutton that okay, 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.120 the transition that he prefers the money to be spent 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:38.679 on his nuclear versus the money being spent currently on renewables. Now, remember, 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.000 for people who live in densely populated parts of Australia, 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.159 they're probably pro renewables because it's never been built in 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.879 their backyards. See what would happen if someone suggested a 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.840 wind farm go into one of the doggy parks of 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:57.000
