Australian banks named and shamed for their heartless 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.840 treatment of customers in a new Atzig report. All that 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.639 corporate virtue signaling during the Voice campaign doesn't hide the 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.000 ugly truth. I'll speak to an MP who has become 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.640 the first to have his maiden speech to Parliament banned 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.479 from YouTube. The Great Alex Stein joins me to discuss 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:38.360 the Trump Biden debate and the latest on disgraced music 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:44.120 mogul and Democrat Operative shown p Diddy, Combs and Kinsey Schofield. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.680 Will tell me who has been voted the UK's sexiest 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.680 man alive for the second year in a row. It 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.760 will surprise you and your favorite segment left is losing 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.120 it Later in the hour and a trigger warning year 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.200 for those in a Noble Park. 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.760 If Africa and Asia had a baby, it'd be called 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.360 Noble Park. Don't let the sign and the fancy station 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.000 for you. This place is literally like a third world country. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.520 On this side of the station, we've got the African Street. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.080 This is where the uncles hang around in suits, but 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:15.960 not one of them work a corporate job. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.320 Let's bring in Sky News contributor pro McSween prove good 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.880 to see you again. We saw yet another violent clash 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.360 between police and pro Palestinian activists in Melbourne over the 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.160 weekend with a protest advertised with this poster showing a 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.000 jack boot crushing a Star of David, which wouldn't be 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.039 surprised there was trouble. These protests were there to interrupt 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:44.479 and intimidate a protest against anti Semitism. Never again is now. 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.360 That saw thousands assemble peacefully in the CBD on a 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:53.040 rainy Melbourne day, But the pro Palestinian activists we're yelling 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.400 things like into fada from the river to the sea 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.960 in the direction of the pro Israel protesters. 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:07.000 The level of intimidation and aggression is really concerning, to 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.640 the point where I think most Australians have had enough. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.839 We are fed up. 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:16.080 Our cities are being hijacked by these activists. You know, 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.119 it's one thing to be pro Palacinian, but what we're 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:24.040 finding here is this aggression. This intimidation is striking fear 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.320 not only in the hearts of Israelis, but a lot 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.519 of just well meaning Australians. 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.040 Who just want to get on with their lives. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.800 We have this situation where you know, in this conference, 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.760 this Labor Party conference, there where something like six anti 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.919 Israel motions. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:41.560 That got up. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.160 So you know, you've got just into Alan in the 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.480 one hand saying we don't support intimidation, and you know, 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:53.040 this kind of aggressive behavior and handballing it to Alberanasi 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.760 that it's a federal issue and he handballs it back. 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.919 You know, this is the problem that the Labor Party 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:06.520 is so concerned about the Muslim vote that they're not prepared. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.040 They're trying to strabble, to straddle both. They don't like 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.600 the fact that there is anti Semitism happening here. But 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.960 at the same time, we all are unfilled by that 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.840 they're prioritizing their votes. And this is where I'm sad 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.960 to say, you know, this society is. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.520 Really I don't know lost. I mean, what are we 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.600 going to do? How long is this going to go on? 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.760 This is hijacking our cities and our lives, and Jews 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.720 are made to feel unsafe and intimidated. And this is 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:40.560 a multicultural society. We pride ourselves on tolerance and being 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.560 able to live in a harmonious way, and yet we're 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.800 finding week after week, day after day, this level of 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.320 aggression and intimidation. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:50.520 It's disgusting. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:58.280 Oh, it is absolutely disgusting, and we're just seeing behaviors 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:02.080 that we didn't think Australian would be tolerated, and then 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:07.240 waste of police resources, particularly here in Victoria. Victoria Police 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:13.320 themselves have detailed how many shifts they have devoted to 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:18.120 just policing the pro Palestinian protesters and they're blocking city 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.400 streets on a weekly basis, causing enormous disruption as well. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.680 Now let's go to Australia's oldest university and one of 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.720 its most prestigious, the University of Sydney. Like many others, 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.719 it's seen pro Palestinian protesters intimidate students, but the vice 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.440 chancellor there, Mark Scott, has written in Australia in The 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.720 Australian Today saying that calls for Interfada and the slogan 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.520 from the River to the Sea do not constitute hate speech, 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.440 and he also defended the university's response as the pro 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:57.479 Palestinian protest encampment on campus nears its four week mark. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.240 I mean it's one thing to have a protest through, 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.760 but in encampment, surely that is breaking the rules that 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.159 they've set up camp on campus. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.080 I heard Mark Scott talking today on Sydney Radio and 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.920 he was saying, how you know they won't allow them 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.479 to cross the line of bullying and intimidation. Well, I'm 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.479 sorry they have and you know, as you say, when 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.520 you've got these campsites set up where people are too 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.760 scared to walk past them, Israelis in particular, and so 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.760 they have to put themselves through, you know, some sort 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:39.360 of minefield of walking around the university to make sure 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.240 they're not going to be. 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:41.680 Abused or harassed. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.800 It's just appalling and I'm sorry all of these chancellors, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:51.520 even Deacon University that ordered the encampment to be you know, 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.279 shut down or they have never it's not been shut 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.039 down and they're not enforcing this shutdown, so you know, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.559 they're all talk, no action. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:01.640 It's one thing to. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.400 Say we support free speech and everyone in Australia does, 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.200 but when it comes to this kind of serial bulling 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:15.560 and intimidation and in aggression where people cannot go about. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:16.520 Their daily lives. 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.600 You know, every student is equal at Sydney university and 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.880 these other universities one supposed, but clearly some are more 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.080 equal than others. And this is where it's disgraceful that 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:32.160 the rights of others in masks. That it's free speech, 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.279 but what about freedom of movement? 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.320 You know, it's just disgusting. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.640 Oh, I can I can be one hundred percent sure 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.480 if this was an I don't know, anti illegal immigration 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.400 rally and camp and protest that was happening on university campuses, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.360 it would be shut down quick smart. They would get 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:59.120 security in there. Probably students would be expelled on site. 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.840 It would be a very different approach. And we're now 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:07.080 our university campuses aren't exactly bastions of free speech, so 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.720 to be trying to hide under that argument. I'm all 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.520 for free speech. I don't want any of these terms 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.000 banned under hate speech laws, but I don't want to 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.200 see students intimidated, and things like encampments are just against 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:24.520 the rules. Now let's talk about the seventh thirty Report. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.720 Host Sarah Ferguson has been criticized for an interview with 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:33.000 Peter Dutton where she interrupted the opposition leader no fewer 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:37.200 than twenty five times. There are a couple of examples. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.240 Well, they're a part of it, but we need to 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.880 house them and you can't bring. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.960 In Well, I only four percent of international students actually 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.800 are in the rental markets. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.360 Really, where are they living? 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.520 Sarah? 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.040 I'm not an expert in obviously housing, but I'll tell. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.640 You that the entire defense force is made up of 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.760 fifty eight thousand men and women. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.880 I think you're I just want to interrupt to say 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.160 that you're talking about well, I think it's important. This 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:04.880 is not a matter of interruption. It's a matter of 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:05.680 staying on topic. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.560 It was quite amusing. Really. Of course that four percent 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.080 figure was not accurate. It's bitter. Dutton said, where are 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:20.400 they living? Sarah? Jared Henderson wrote in The Australian Ferguson 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.040 may have been referring to a report that claim four 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:27.200 percent of renters are international students. That's very different to 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:31.559 the claim that only four percent of international students actually 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.400 rent a property. What did you make of that interview? 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.320 Is it fair enough in a combative interview to interrupt 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.520 the opposition leader twenty five times? 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.240 Look, it's just bad television for a start. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.960 How frustrating for the viewer to you know, who's wanting 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:56.560 to follow what the interviewe is saying, and yet they 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.240 can't of even get three words out. 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.800 I mean intimidation. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.920 If we're talking about intimidation and aggression. Well there it 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.920 was for all to see. And this woman had a 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.160 point that she wanted to make, and that was to 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.800 try and prevent the opposition leader from. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:15.880 Making his case. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.000 And we see it on The Insiders with David Spears. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.040 I'm sorry, you know, David is just as bad. 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.160 And you just think, why does anybody waste their time 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.720 watching the ABC because frankly, they may as well just 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.800 do a monologue the hosts and not bother having any 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.560 guests because they don't let them get their stories out 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:37.520 for goodness sake. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.440 I did like Peter Dutton's approach to it, though, because 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.120 you saw him get a little bit irritated, you saw 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:51.080 him push back. It's a method that we've seen from 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.439 the likes of Ron Desantas, and he's handling of the media, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.920 who are very hostile and aggressive towards him is masterful. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.000 Of course, Trump is another one, but I think DeSantis 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.600 has even perfected it further. So yeah, I think more 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:12.080 conservative politicians should take that route and push back talking 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.439 about US politics. Let's have a look at Joe Biden. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:21.120 He had the president clapping along mindlessly as an academic 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.280 calls for an immediate and permanent cease fire in the 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.080 Gaza Strip. 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.840 It is my stance as a more houseman, nay as 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:35.280 a human being to call for an immediate and the 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.439 permanent cease fire and the Gaza Strip. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:52.400 Pro One can only hope he didn't hear or understand 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.840 what was being said, because you don't want Israel's greatest 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.640 ally to be clapping along like a fool as the 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:05.000 demands for an immediate and permanent ceasefire are made. After all, 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.160 her mass is not defeated yet they're still in power 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.800 in Gaza. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.160 Well, was he awake? I mean, did anyone just check 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:14.280 that he was awake? 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.160 Sometimes I think he's got his eyes open, but he's 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:18.559 just on another planet. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.280 But prior to. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.360 That, or it may have been afterwards, Rita, when he 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:28.839 virtually said to the moor House community, which is a 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.520 black obviously a black college, that the blacks have been 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:33.679 killed in the streets. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.760 Democracy has done this to them. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:41.280 It was so anti white America. And you know, the 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.480 guy just is just on another planet. And of course 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.200 we see this with his policies towards Israel, where he's 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.840 again having a bed each way. He'll give them some weapons, 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.920 but he won't give them others. He wants a ceasefire, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.400 but he doesn't want her mask to not be defeated. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.600 It's just schizophrenic policy on the run. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:05.319 Now. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.400 Finally, pro Australian banks have been shamed in a scathing 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:14.439 report from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. ASIK examined 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.479 more than fourteen hundred bank hardship files in a landmark 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.680 one hundred and fifty seven page report released today, showed 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:28.280 banks behaving heartlessly to customers at their time of need. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.120 Let's hear now from the ATZIK chairman John Joe Longo. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:38.160 He said, in the worst cases, lenders ignored hardship notices, 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:44.320 effectively abandoning customers who needed their support. So they have 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.480 a pro abandoning customers when they need support. But these 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.480 banks are very happy to advocate on all sorts of 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:58.319 socio political issues, from pronouns to the race based referendum. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.360 I was reading where the NAB, Westpac and Commonwealth Bank 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:09.240 make fifty five million dollars profit up day and yet 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:14.960 there's foreclosures of around thirty five percent, and you think, wow, 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.440 you know, why were they even in the business of 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:23.040 lending money to couples, sometimes lending a million bucks to 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.000 couples when blind Freddie could tell you that, you know, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.880 the economy is not going to proceed the way it 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.480 has been, so they're so money hungry. But when it 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.920 comes to actually looking after their customers, abandonment is what 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.400 their slogan should be. We know that the banks are 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:48.400 totally profit minded. They're closing down now and using this 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.400 excuse that nobody's going into the bank, So it's because 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.079 you can't find one a lot open anywhere. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.160 I mean, it's just appalling. 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.120 The banks are not our friends, partic the major ones, 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.800 and we should all really seriously consider looking for alternatives, 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.440 although whether they're any good as well, who would know. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.520 From McSwain, thank you so much for your time this evening. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:18.040 Let's bring in New South Wales libertarian Impede John Ruddick, John, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.760 thanks for your time tonight. You were elected to the 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.840 New South Wales Legislative Council back in April twenty twenty three. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:31.160 Gave a wide ranging, interesting maiden speech, but for what 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.440 we believe is the first time in Australian political history 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:39.200 that maiden speech has been censored on social media, banned 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:40.680 from YouTube. 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.680 Libertarianism can be summed up in two words. Power corrupts. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:51.240 We believe in the inherent morality of capitalism simply because 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.320 it is what people will spontaneously do when left alone. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.120 The worst atrocities and histories in history were not the 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.600 result of drought, flood, pestler for a plague with a 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.080 big government throwing it to weight around like an elephant 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.160 stomping on ants. 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.080 What are they so worried about, John, Is that going 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.040 to radicalize the youth of Australia. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:12.080 What parts of. 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.360 Your speech do you think led to it being banned 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:16.120 on YouTube? 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.400 Well, what had happened, reader, is in the Westminster tradition, 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.160 a new member of Parliament gets to give the maiden's speech, 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.720 where the other members come and listen and there's no interruptions. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:30.040 That's the convention. Now, most of these speeches are all 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.120 about themselves. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.960 Okay, they want to thank everybody that they are their yearfore, 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.000 his teacher, their God, their wife and got the best 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.200 wife in the world, whatever, best kids, and don't they 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.640 just give a little bit of philosophy, but we went 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.080 for the completely different road. We just gave a hardcore 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.320 ideological speech. We're in parliam because we want to change 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.840 the world. Now, I think what happened was we put 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:54.080 it up on YouTube. About twelve hours later, about two 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.520 hundred people have seen it, probably my mum, my neighbors, 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.200 my cousins, my friends from the party, et cetera. And 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.000 then we've got a message from YouTube so that they 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:06.160 have been banned because of medical misinformation. Now I did 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.640 mention the word I've made. Oh I didn't say it 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.800 works for COVID. I just said it shouldn't have been bad. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.280 That's all I said. Okay, it got bad for medical 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.280 MISSINGVAI and I was a bit rock when I sort 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.240 of first got that from YouTube, and then I thought, 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.320 this is a magnificent opportunity. So me and my staff 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.960 went and bought a case of beer and we sat 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:29.560 down there at three o'clock in the morning and we 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.080 just told everyone, were you, hey, watch this speech. It's 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.400 just been BAEd by YouTube, and it was the classic 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.040 strides of the effect. And now I reckoned reader. I 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.640 reckoned two and a half million people on various platforms 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.680 are centered around the world, so we're very pleased with 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.600 whoever reported it did a great job. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.240 Well, yes, you can't sit it on YouTube, but it 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.600 is available on many other platforms, including other social media sides, 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.360 So that's pretty good effort. Two million plus views for 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.360 a speech to the New South Wales Parliament be the 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.800 most watched speech given in New South Wales Parliament. Staying 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.560 in your state the new anti conversion therapy laws in 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:13.480 New South Wales, you've launched a campaign to reverse the 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.800 decision to define gender identity counseling as a type of 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.680 conversion therapy in the legislation. Tell me why you say 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:22.639 this is important. 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:25.919 Well, as soon as I got elected, there was all 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.399 this talk that there's going there, there's going to be 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.720 a bill that comes to the Parliament that's going to 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:35.879 ban efforts to offer counseling for people who think they 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:37.000 may be transgender. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:38.960 But we didn't. 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.399 It was always you know, unclear when it was going 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.399 to come in, and it was you know, details were 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.840 very few, and then a couple of months ago, get 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.879 slammed in here and within a few days it's passed 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.960 through the parliament. It barely got any media attention. We 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.040 had to sit till seven o'clock in the morning in 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.399 the Upper House to get it through. Of course, you know, 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.600 I did my very best to stop it and on 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.040 the my boy with the details reader. But there was 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:06.120 two key votes, two key votes, and one of those 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.000 vote and we lost them by one or two votes. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:10.400 And we could have removed. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.480 I put up an amendment to remove the words gender 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.760 identity from the bill, which means it still would have 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.240 been legal to go and seek counseling or to offer 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.680 counseling for people who think they might be transgender. Wasn't 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.760 going to ban transgender surgeries, wasn't going to ban pub bloggers. 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.520 It was just going to not it was going to 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.399 unbann counseling. Now that law got through and then the 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.479 government sort of thought, Okay, it's done. We fulfilled our 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.920 campaign promise. Let's move on. Well, they were thrilled last 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:40.920 week dreada what I said. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.040 No, no, no, no, no, it's not over yet. I'm 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.760 going to put up another bill and we're not going 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.159 to debate it for about six months. I'm going to 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:47.680 drag it out. 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.280 We're going to have a public awareness. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.000 Campaign, which is what they did not want last time, 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:52.920 and we're going to remove We're going to try and 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:54.960 remove these two words gender identity. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.800 How do people? How do people get involved in this? 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.280 How do they? Is there a submission that can make 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:03.800 Is there a petition to sign? 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:05.400 Yes? 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.520 Yes, there's two things the public can do. Well, there's 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:09.160 probably three things. 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:10.680 The first thing they could do is talk to their 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.480 new South Wales state empty Upper House or lower House. Yes, 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.880 we're going to start a petition myself and I think 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.080 it's going to be Rachel Wong, who I think you've 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:20.960 had on a few times. We're going to start a 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.600 petition and if we get more than ten thousand signatures 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.399 and that will trigger an automatic debate into parliament. Now, 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.879 we're also going to hopefully set up an inquiry. We 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.040 tried to have an inquiry when a bill come to 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.840 the Parliament, to the Upper House sometimes we have a 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.080 vote about sending it off to an inquiry. And we 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:40.840 had a vote for an inquiry last time and we 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.840 lost it twenty one twenty. So we only need one 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.560 more person to change their mind and we'll. 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:46.000 Have an inquiry. 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:48.200 That'll be a public inquiry. I might even be the 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.199 chair of it, and we're going to hear from the public. Now, 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.520 the people I want to hear from more than anybody else, 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.760 Riata are the d transitioners, the people who have gone 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:04.000 through this process and now regret it and severely regret it. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.600 And they want to tell they want to warn the public. 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.720 Hey, maybe if you're feeling a little bit uncomfortable as 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.639 a teenager, maybe surgeries and chemicals to change your gender 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:17.080 is not the best idea. 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:25.159 Well, further on that, another good reason to have counseling 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.280 as an option as opposed to going down the road 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.960 of irreversible treatments and surgeries. A new study from the 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:37.040 NIAH on risk of suicide and self harm following gender 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:42.800 firming surgery found that individuals who underwent gender firming surgery 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:49.280 had a twelve fold higher suicide risk twelve point twelve 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:55.160 fold high suicide risk than those who did not. It's 0:20:55.160 --> 0:21:00.119 an incredible finding, John, and completely at odds with some 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.399 of the emotional black mail we've had from the activists 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.600 who say, if you don't allow people to or even 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.400 encourage them to transition after self ID, then you risk 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.200 having a loved one who becomes suicidal. 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:17.840 When we had the debate in the Parliament about whether 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.600 we should sit it loved to an inquiry. There was 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.879 a green zebulce soe that got up and said no, no, no, no, 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.680 we don't want an inquiry. If there's more talk about this, 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.680 there'll be more suicides. Okay, what this study will refer to, 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.199 which is a very very credible study from the world's 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.840 biggest medical library, it's saying it's not doubling the increase 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.280 of suicide or suicide attempts. 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.520 I think it is twelvefold increase. Now you know readA. 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:44.800 I did not get into Parliament to fight for these 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.440 types of issues. Libertarians are mainly concerned with things like 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.680 tax cuts, balanced budgets, deregulation, privatization. 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:53.600 But when I'm confronted with. 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:55.879 An issue like this, which is just a black and 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.120 white insanity of what they're doing. You know who's most 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:03.960 at risk risk of this transition stuff? Teenage girls. It's 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:08.720 nine to one, and it's teenage girls and overwhelmingly white people. 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:11.199 It's not the Chinese or the Indians, or the Arabs 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:15.760 or any other group. Okay, it's white teenage girls whose 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:17.080 mother has usually. 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:18.240 Got mental problems herself. 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.000 That is often the case, and here we are twelve 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:25.879 times increased in suicide, suicide attempts now, so yeah, something's 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.960 we need to do all we can to get this reversed. 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.960 John Uddick, thank you so much for your time. Appreciated, 0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.959 Thanks very much. Still to come a bumper edition all 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:41.560 that Lefties Losing It and the latest from the US, 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:56.840 including the p Diddy scandal. You're watching the reader Panehy' 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:01.080 show and now it's time for Lefties Lose And we 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.840 do love the crazy academics on this segment. And this 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.159 next one is extra key to starr in Lefties Losing It. 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:13.639
