Tonight 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: starring this confused lass who seems to think that there's 15 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: no difference between a fetus and. 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 4: Assist abortion is anything. If I had a cessed on 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 4: my uterus that would be considered an abortion. 18 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 3: Yes, but first. 19 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: Simon Holmes Accord, the man behind the Till movement, has 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: issued an eleventh hour plea to support us to funnel 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 2: even more money into Climbate two hundreds million dollar fighting fund. 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: He's been warning that the Till's enemies had been underestimated 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: and that four MPs, in particular Monique Ryan, Zoey Daniels, 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: Sophie Scamps and Kate Cheney, are at risk of losing 25 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: their seats. This comes after volunteers for TILL MP Monique 26 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: Ryan were films saying they were instructed to vote for 27 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: her by the Hubei Association, an organization which has in 28 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 2: the past been accused of working with the United Front Department, 29 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: a Chinese Communist Party agency tasks with carrying out Beijing's 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: foreign influence operations. Monique Ryan has distanced her self from 31 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: the volunteers, claiming that she doesn't know them. 32 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this, There's News. 33 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: Corpse senior writer Patrick Carl and Patrick are the Tills 34 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: in trouble. Some like Zoe Daniel have flown under the radar, 35 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: while Monique Ryan, she seems to be a bit of 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: a headline magnet. 37 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 5: Well, she's had a muddled campaign, if you want to 38 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 5: put it like that. There's been so many awkward moments 39 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 5: for Monique Ryan. She's been very visible, very busy, but 40 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 5: starting with her husband, I think been caught ripping out 41 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 5: the campaign sign. 42 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: It hasn't gone the. 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 5: Way that they would have hoped, and look, the world 44 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 5: has changed since twenty twenty two. I think the Till 45 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 5: vote back then was in a reflex almost to the 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 5: disdain that so many people felt for Scott Morrison and 47 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 5: for Scott Morrison's government. Climate change was a very big 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 5: issue then. It's still a big issue, but it's not 49 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 5: in the top five as we speak, so that hit 50 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 5: headwinds in a way that they certainly didn't face in 51 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 5: twenty twenty two. 52 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: I think there'd been a lot more trouble if the 53 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: Coalition mounted a stronger campaign on energy policy, because cost 54 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: of living is such a huge issue, and we've seen 55 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: the tlmps show that they're not conservative alternatives. They're far 56 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: closer to the Greens than they are to the Coalition, 57 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: and that was the cell. Initially, this was supposed to 58 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: be an alternative for disenchanted liberal voters, Coalition voters, but 59 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 2: when you look at how they're voted, their voting record, 60 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: I mean you might as be voting for the Greens. 61 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 5: Well, we've had three years of reality since I've been elected, 62 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 5: and we've seen that those ideals that they talked about transparency, 63 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 5: they talked about accountability, ability in politics, and those really 64 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 5: did appeal, as I was saying before, because Scott Morrison 65 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 5: didn't seem to represent those things. 66 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: The world has changed a lot. 67 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 5: You've had issues of transparency with some of the campaigns 68 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 5: and it will be really interested to see how they go. 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 5: It's one of the the big questions I think for 70 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 5: Saturday Night. 71 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: How do they go? 72 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: Now, I'm going to play you an extraordinary little exchange. 73 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 3: Listen here to two. 74 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: JB's Mark Levy put pressure on the Prime Minister over 75 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: power prices and his personal property. One minute he says 76 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: he doesn't have a private property. 77 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: In the next minute. 78 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 6: He does, you do have a personal property in Sydney? 79 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 6: Has your electricity bill gone up or down? 80 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 7: Obviously?

My question to you is, 91 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: Doessky bill. 92 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 6: At your private resident's gone up all down? It's a 93 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 6: very simple question. 94 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 7: Well, I live in the lodge. 95 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 9: That's where I live. 96 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 6: So you're not there to tell us what your private 97 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 6: property your electricity, but whether it's gone up or down, that's. 98 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 10: Where I live. 99 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: Patrick PM didn't handle that too well. One minute he 100 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: doesn't have a private property, next minute he does. One 101 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: minute he's living a life of privilege, next minute he's not. 102 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: What do you make of that? 103 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: Look it was a poor moment. 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 5: Look you would think that his strategists would be saying, well, 105 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 5: you're going to be asked these questions, and that he 106 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 5: would have been better prepared. 107 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: Look, I think he just got caught out. 108 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 5: He was dreadful in the moment, which does happen to 109 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 5: be fair from time to time. You would have thought 110 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 5: he would have been in a position to actually try 111 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 5: and distract that question. 112 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: Away in a way that he couldn't. 113 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 5: Obviously, and you cringe when you listen to that, don't you. 114 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: You would think someone with his experience would handle those 115 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: sort of questions much better. 116 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 11: Now, SMP Global has worn. 117 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 2: That Australia's Triple A credit rating is at risk thanks 118 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: to the huge election spendeth on from the major parties 119 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: and the massive growth of off budget funds. But the 120 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: Prime Minister is not heeding this warning that he is 121 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: instead lashed out and attack the agency. Here's what he 122 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: had to say on the seven thirty report. 123 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 7: The Triple A credit rating is there and what we've done. 124 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 7: They must have been beside themselves whoever wrote that particular 125 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 7: report when the coalition left us with a seventy eight 126 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 7: PM dollar deficit. 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 11: I'm confused, hear Patrick. 128 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: The PM is questioning the economic credentials of the experts 129 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: at standard and pause. I mean, really, is that a 130 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: plausible argument against what they have said? And to be fair, 131 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: they had criticism of both sides that is that the 132 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: coalition spending promises are also too high. 133 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 5: Look, it's been a spenders on this whole election campaign, 134 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: hasn't it from both sides. I just keep sort of 135 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 5: matching one another when the other side releases a policy 136 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 5: and you've got a situation now where Look, you've got 137 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 5: to listen to the economists before you take politicians seriously. 138 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 5: When it comes to numbers, they're basically saying our credit 139 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,119 Speaker 5: rating could come down because there is so much spending 140 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 5: and there's going to be so much debt. And this 141 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 5: is on both sides, and I mean mister Albinezy sort 142 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 5: of responses, well, it'll be worse under the coalition. But 143 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 5: you look at that off budget fund which you mentioned. 144 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 5: I mean that that was supposed to be I think 145 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 5: thirty four billion dollars over five years. It's now over 146 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: one hundred billion dollars for the next five years. 147 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: It's become a. 148 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 5: Slush fund for vanity projects and it's technically off the books. 149 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: That's a worrying thing, definitely. 150 00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: But is this Australian electorate largely disengaged from those macro shoes. 151 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: They care about tax. 152 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: Cuts or things that they will see in their bottom 153 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: line in their household budget, but things like the national 154 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: debt infationary pressures they seem to be I don't know 155 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: if it's the lack of economic literacy in the country 156 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: or whether there's just too complicated an issue for a 157 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: politician to properly articulate. That doesn't seem to be much 158 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: of a concern. 159 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: Look, that's certainly true. 160 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 5: I mean, both sides have sort of launched this have 161 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 5: this sort of phony campaign, you for like, where we're 162 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 5: talking about distractions, we should be talking about immigration, We 163 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 5: should be talking about defense. Most certainly no one's talking 164 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 5: about defense. We should be talking about how we're going 165 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 5: to provide secure energy and how we're going to keep 166 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: prices down, but for the long term, not next week, 167 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 5: not next month. And this whole campaign has been just 168 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 5: back and forth. We haven't been they've panned to what 169 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 5: they think this strain electric concerns are, and those concerns 170 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 5: are relatively minor, and in the moment there's much bigger 171 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 5: issues here. There hasn't been a lot of vision, has 172 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 5: there effort. 173 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: It's all been all about immediate gratification. 174 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 11: There's not much in long term planning. 175 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 2: You'd say the nuclear policies that that comes into effect 176 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: into twenty thirties, but the Coalition barely mentions that. And 177 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: it's a real point of differentiation with Labor and I 178 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: wonder why they don't stress that point more, why they 179 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: don't come up with policies that are going to impact 180 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: energy prices in the next few years. 181 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 5: Look, they've played too safe, the coalition right from the start. 182 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 5: They've tried to make themselves a small target. You end 183 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 5: up with these infuriating debates about how much about costings 184 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 5: and whether it's six hundred billion dollars or whether it's 185 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty billion dollars. 186 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: And at that point everyone turns off, don't they. 187 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 5: I mean, people are sick of politicians sort of out 188 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 5: the other side and it's become this tip for tat 189 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 5: sort of scenario that really has left the electric very disengaged, 190 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 5: I think, and I think the coalition in the post mortems, 191 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 5: depending on the result, you'd look back and you say, 192 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 5: why weren't you bolder, Why weren't you actually describing visions 193 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 5: for the country that actually will make a big difference 194 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 5: for a long time. 195 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 3: Now before you go. 196 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 2: The welcome to Country debate has continued and got reignited 197 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 2: during ANZAC Day, and this is what happened when the 198 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: topic was brought up on the ABC's flagship Q and 199 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 2: A program last night. Greenslead Adam bad had a lot 200 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: to say. 201 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 12: It's just gutter politics from an opposition leader whose campaign 202 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 12: is in free form and he's starting to punch down. 203 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 12: Peter Dutton was the master of misinformation during the referendum 204 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 12: which is what was referred to there, spreading all sorts 205 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 12: of lies about what was going He's paying as he's 206 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 12: in free for he's punching down change from the Trump 207 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 12: pavled and we're. 208 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: Going to call it out. 209 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: All the usual lines you would expect from the Greens, 210 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: just such foolish arguments, straw man arguments, but they can 211 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: be impactful when it comes to the ABC audience. 212 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 11: But all the polling I've seen since ANZAC. 213 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: Day shows that the great majority of Australians are sick 214 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: and tired of these ceremonies. They want to see them 215 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 2: dramatically reduced or cut all together. In fact, there was 216 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: a poll I think in news dot com, an online 217 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: poll showing around seventy percent wanted to see no more 218 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: of these and around twenty percent wanted to see less. 219 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 5: Well, it becomes so divisive, haven't they, And I mean 220 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 5: they've sort of been seen to hijack public events. When 221 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 5: you look at ANZAC Day, it's about diggers, it's about veterans, 222 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 5: and when you have the welcome the country, that might 223 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 5: go too long or it really does sort of get 224 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 5: in the way of why people aren't gathered. It's become divisive. 225 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 5: I mean it was a feel good sentiment and it 226 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 5: has a place. I think most Astrains, I might disagree 227 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 5: with you. I think most Astrains think it has a place, 228 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 5: but that place is not when you land on a 229 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 5: Quantus or Virgin flight in denment it has got silver. 230 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: Well, I disagree with you. 231 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: I don't think most Australians do think it has a place, 232 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: because the underlying message of a welcome to country is 233 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: this isn't your land. You're not as entitled as someone else, 234 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 2: based purely on ethnicity, to consider. 235 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: This your land. 236 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: Because we don't have non indigenous people doing welcome to countries. 237 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: It's only one group, and I think that sends a 238 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: strong message. I think a lot of migrants resent that 239 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: message as well. Patrick, Carla and thank you so much 240 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: for your time tonight. A state of emergency has been 241 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: declared after more than sixty million people across Spain, Portugal 242 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: and parts of France were left without power last night 243 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: in one of the largest blackouts in Europe outside of wartime. 244 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: And this comes as Spain celebrated its first ever weekday 245 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 2: of being run at one hundred percent renewables. Less than 246 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: a week later and Spain is in the midst of 247 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: a energy crisis. Electric trains of ground to hold flights 248 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: have been canceled, Traffic lights stop working. We've had people 249 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: left in lifts, stuck in lifts, and panic buying stripping 250 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: supermarket shells. As journalist Michael Schllenberger reports, the grid across 251 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: the entire continent almost redlined at about midday yesterday, with 252 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: authorities speculating that the outage originated in Spain. Schllenburger explains 253 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: that Spain's energy mix, which is largely made up of 254 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: wind and solar, is the most likely cause of the 255 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: outage because such a system has very little physical inertia 256 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: generated by coal and nuclear power, meaning it is much 257 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: less stable and more susceptible to blackouts. Now, while power 258 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: in France, where the grid is approximately seventy percent nuclear, 259 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: was quickly restored, it's taking authorities in neighboring Spain and 260 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: Portugal a lot longer to restore power. Joining me now 261 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: from France is energy market analysts Sol Cavanik. So tell 262 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: me about this mass blackout and the impact it's having. 263 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 13: Well, as you highlight there's it's still early assessments exactly 264 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 13: the primary cause here, although the fragility of the system, 265 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 13: particularly at this time and the level of ancillary services, 266 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 13: including inertia, do the higher renewables penetration at the time 267 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 13: may be one of the primary causes. As I sit here, 268 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 13: you know, in one of the countries which has a 269 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 13: very strong nuclear industry, which is the fact growing here 270 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 13: in France, where things tends to be a little bit better. 271 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 13: But I think what we need to take as a 272 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 13: lesson here is what we've seen playing out now in 273 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 13: Spain could be a sign of what we see it 274 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 13: will happen in Australia as we continue down this path 275 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 13: of ideology driven policy for energy rather than engineering driven policy, 276 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 13: and that for example, has us seeing our Energy Minister 277 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 13: Chris Bowen still targeting at eighty three percent renewal mix 278 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 13: by twenty thirty and it's harder to determine here what's 279 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 13: kind of worse the fastical notion that we can actually 280 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 13: achieve the eighty three percent with even the renewable industry 281 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 13: itself acknowledging that's quite impossible. All the question of whether 282 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 13: we should be desiring this level of renewals gen mix 283 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 13: given the instability it's going to cause Rita. But I 284 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 13: might just highlight our situation in Australia is fundamentally much 285 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 13: more dire than the issue about should we be prioritizing 286 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 13: renewables over, for example, fossil fuel based. The problem is 287 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 13: we actually need more of both, but instead we've seen 288 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 13: declining investment across the board in every single type of 289 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 13: generation mix in Australia. Pole is worth aught worse off 290 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 13: on the last three years, gas is worse off, and 291 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 13: renewables are worse off. Renewable penetration growth drop to record 292 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 13: lows last year and that's because the green activism, the 293 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 13: green over regulation, and the red tape facing our energy 294 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 13: sector hits every single part of our sector. It is 295 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 13: hurting investment in everything, including renewables. So instead of having 296 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 13: an all of above approach, we have a none of 297 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 13: above approach to our energy mix and it's causing energy 298 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 13: prices to go up. 299 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: Now, given the direction we are going in this country 300 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: and the energy mix we have the focus on net 301 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: zero emissions and renewables at what does that ultimately mean 302 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: for our manufacturing sector. 303 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 13: As we have increased energy costs and particularly increased energy 304 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 13: reliability with now three near misses in as many years, 305 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 13: the sector that fears, that feels at first is always 306 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 13: going to be a manufacturing sector. And that's because when 307 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 13: you have energy shortages events from a political perspective, you're 308 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 13: never going to see a government want people's lights to 309 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 13: turn off. So what happens is you get load shedding 310 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 13: in the manufacturing rse. You've got to remember Australia, we 311 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 13: have high safety standards, we have high labor rates, and 312 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 13: these are things we are good and we should be 313 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 13: proud of. But the reason we can have a manufacturing 314 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 13: sector where we pay people well and have high standards 315 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 13: is because we have a strong advantage in our energy 316 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 13: resource and that energy advantage allows us to still compete 317 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 13: internationally even with higher labor costs and standards. And the 318 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 13: problem we face now is we are losing our economic 319 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 13: competitive advantage of having a strong energy base and a 320 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 13: low cost energy salt in this country. And that's eroding 321 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 13: our competitive advantage that we've had for forty years, which 322 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 13: allows us to have a higher standard of living. And 323 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 13: as we're starting to say, government policy more and more 324 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 13: prioritize green activism over the livelihoods and jobs of particularly 325 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 13: blue collar workers in Australia, they're the ones who are 326 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 13: going to get here first. We're ready starting to see 327 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 13: jobs being lost. Oceano Glass shut down last year after 328 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 13: one hundred and seventy years of op operations. This is 329 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 13: the high tech manufacturing we want more of in this country, 330 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 13: but instead we're seeing it lost. And higher energy prices 331 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 13: and high energy reliability is one of the leading causes 332 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 13: of the loss of our manufacturing sector. 333 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 2: Now you're in France at the moment, it's a heavy 334 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 2: user of nuclear energy. We're told in Australia that nuclear 335 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: is not commercial, it's not vible. What do Anthony alban 336 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: Easy and Adam Banded, Chris Bowen, what do they know 337 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: that the leaders in countries like France, Sweden, US Finland 338 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: don't know because they and many other First world countries 339 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: are increasing their use of nuclear power whilst we sit 340 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: on all this uranium we exported, but we don't use 341 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: it for cheap nuclear power here or even expensive nuclear 342 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: power here. 343 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: Well. 344 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 13: Look, I think it's quite clear that most of the 345 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 13: mob in Parliament, in particular our Energy minister and Arguly 346 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 13: our Prime Minister at this stage, know very little bit 347 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 13: about our energy sector. I think a very good example 348 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 13: to look at is what happened in Germany here where 349 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 13: you actually had effectively the equivalent of the Green's minority government. 350 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 13: They're an actual minister as part of the Greens Party. 351 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 13: In the face of the shut off of Russian gas 352 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 13: after the Ukraine War, they had a kind of internal 353 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 13: schism and decided the Green Party still couldn't bring themselves 354 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 13: to actually support nuclear, so they supported more qualified generation. 355 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 13: Germany has been shutting down its nuclear facilities, and of 356 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 13: course all that's happening is France is building new ones 357 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 13: just across the border from Germany and will sell the 358 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 13: power into Germany. So Germany's luckiness, since it still gets 359 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 13: to rely on nuclear power, just pays France the privilege. 360 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 13: In the case of Australia, we don't have the advantage 361 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 13: of being able to tap into our neighbor's nuclear power. 362 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 13: But if you want to have a strong again blue 363 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 13: collar workforce, manufacturing base and all the economic and national 364 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 13: security benefits that provides, having strong, stable power supply with 365 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 13: very low marginal cost is a critical component of that. 366 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 13: We've had it from coal for decades. We're now losing 367 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 13: that from coal, in part driven by policy which is 368 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 13: making it no longer viable. It cannot be replaced with 369 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 13: the newbles anytime in the next decades at least, and 370 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 13: nuclear could provide wide avenue for that. And it still 371 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 13: surprises me that we rule it out from the get 372 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 13: go and don't let it to compete in the market 373 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 13: like we do with other energy sources. 374 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: You go, if you had one bit of advice to 375 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: impart to Energy Minister Chris Bowen, what would it be. 376 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 13: Well, at this point, the best thing that Minister Chris 377 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 13: Bowen could do for the energy market is to resign 378 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 13: his position, I think, thankfully. If they're going to lose 379 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 13: his seat in this election, or even if he stays 380 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 13: in this seat, I think Lady is probably going to 381 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 13: acces him from this portfolio. We have not seen such 382 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 13: an incompetence and higher level of an attitude from an 383 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 13: energy minister in decades, and that's a really low bar 384 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 13: across both parties. Right, We've seen a level of arrogance, 385 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 13: not refusing to engage with his own industry, allowing funding 386 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 13: by the government of green activists against approvals of this 387 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 13: own government, still adhering to ridiculous things like renewable energy 388 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 13: targets and corvenuation targets which everybody knows are impossible to 389 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 13: actually achieve, and not having the hub us to not 390 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 13: actually even recognize the problems he's created in order to 391 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 13: fix them. And you know, I speak to major investors 392 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 13: in this sector who've been unable to actually get a 393 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 13: meeting with the minister in their sector this entire length 394 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 13: of this government. And that tells you everything about what 395 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 13: this meant, what Minister Chris Boone actually stands for, and 396 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 13: he's willing to actually talk to the key people in 397 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 13: this market to try and fix the problems he's created. 398 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: Soul Kavanick, thank you so much for your time tonight. 399 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 3: Thank you still to come. 400 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 2: Lefties Losing ad plus for review Donald Trump's first one 401 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 2: hundred days in office on. 402 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 3: His second term, Kosher Gator joins me. 403 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 2: Next, you're watching the Reader Pannies Show, and it's time 404 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 2: for lefties losing and and the Democrats, particularly the perpetually 405 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: outraged Karen's, are again obsessing about the I word impeachment. 406 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: Is these democracy denying hysterics want to see the duly 407 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 2: elected president impeached. Let's hear from this screeching banshee at 408 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 2: a town hall imploring Democrat Senator John Osoff to remove 409 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: the president. 410 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 11: Why are there no calls for impeachment? This is unacceptable. 411 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 11: I will not live in an authoritative country and novel 412 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 11: any of these people. 413 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 3: You can do more. 414 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 14: I'd like you, and I will vote for you if 415 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 14: you are brief and you do what we need. 416 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 15: We need him impeached, we need him removed. 417 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 3: We need him removed. 418 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: Sounds a little insurrectiony to me, lady.

They will try to 423 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: impeach Donald Trump as soon as they have the numbers. 424 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 16: I agree with you, but as I said at the beginning, 425 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 16: I also have no choice but to be candid with 426 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 16: you about the situation that we face and the tools 427 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 16: that are at our disposal.

If I had a cyst on my 480 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 4: uterus that would be considered an abortion. 481 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: Yes, No, it's not. 482 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 4: Yes, it is okay.

It is considered abortion. 488 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 2: Now President Donald Trump has celebrated the twenty twenty five 489 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: Super Bowl champions of the White House with the Philadelphia 490 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 2: Eagles in attendance. The team and the President were in 491 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: great spirits. This is quite a departure from twenty eighteen, 492 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 2: when President Trump canceled the celebration for the Eagles after 493 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: he was advised that most players were not planning to 494 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 2: show up. 495 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 3: Well, what a difference seven years makes. 496 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: Let me just say, fly Eagles fly. 497 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 14: Right. 498 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 11: The players presented the President with. 499 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: His own jersey, and they even got a tour of 500 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: the Oval offers, with the players lining up to shake 501 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 2: the President's hand. And Trump was certainly in a good spirit. 502 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: It was reminiscing about the Super Bowl and even had 503 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 2: a little dig at Taylor Swift. 504 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 17: It was an incredible game, a little surprising, but right 505 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 17: from the beginning. In the first quarter of the Big Game, 506 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 17: which I was there, I watched in person, I was 507 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 17: there along with Taylor Swift. 508 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: How did that work out? 509 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 17: How did that one work out? 510 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 2: I remind you how that worked out. One of them 511 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: got massive cheers and the other one got booed. 512 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: Oh it was fun. 513 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 3: What good times? 514 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: Now, there were three players missing from the White House celebrations. 515 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: They blamed scheduling issues, like they. 516 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: Have something better to do. 517 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: One of those players, Yalen Jalen Hurts, had this pitifil 518 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: response last week when asked whether he was going to 519 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 2: be there. 520 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 9: Are you putting on visiting the White House next week? 521 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 14: So? 522 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 9: Thank you so much. 523 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 11: Yes, beautifully articulated. 524 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 3: They're so eloquent, so brave. 525 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, your teammates are their hobnobbing with the. 526 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 3: President and they're taking iconic. 527 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 2: Selfies with his portrait that looks like Elias Rix there 528 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: and he declared his love. 529 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 3: For Ivanka after the. 530 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 2: White House visit, he posted this, He said, after seeing 531 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: her in person, Ivanka is exactly my type. 532 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 3: Good luck there. 533 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 2: Now let's bring in Sky News contributer Koja Gata Kosher. 534 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: We've got some serious things to discuss about the first 535 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: one hundred days of Donald Trump's second term. But we 536 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: can't underestimate the importance of the cultural phenomenon. We just 537 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: saw there the Super Bowl celebrations with the Eagles. 538 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: It didn't happen in. 539 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: Trump's first term, that visit was canceled. Very different dynamic 540 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: now for the president. 541 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 9: Very different. 542 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 14: It's almost like the arc, the story arc of his 543 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 14: cultural comeback alongside his political comeback is almost complete. Because 544 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 14: we've talked about everybody from the Silicon Valley Titans to 545 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 14: high finance people like Bill Ackman to doctor Phil to 546 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 14: the rap. 547 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 9: Industry to fifty cent to Bill Maher and now. 548 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 14: The super Bowl victors, the very Eagles who weren't very 549 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 14: enthusiastic about coming last time, as you said, pop nobbing 550 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 14: and rubbing. 551 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 15: Shoulders with him. 552 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 14: It's just it really just shows that that acceptance and 553 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 14: rehabilitation into pop culture, if you. 554 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 9: Will, of brand Trump and Trump the person has happened. 555 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 14: And people who are still holding out, the few holdouts 556 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 14: that those two players that you mentioned and Hollywood and 557 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 14: others look rather silly. 558 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 15: I would say this moment in time. 559 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 2: Now today is one hundred days of Trump's presidency, and 560 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 2: it has been a spectat. 561 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 11: Kill a ride. 562 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: No matter how you look at it, whether you're anti 563 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 2: all things trample America. First, his presidency has been remarkable. 564 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: He's set a furious pace and among his greatest achievements 565 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: is addressing and solving the border crisis. 566 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 11: The illegal immigration crisis. Kosher is over. 567 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 9: It really is. 568 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 14: It was something like at his peak, underbid on eleven 569 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 14: thousand illegal crossings per day and it's now down to 570 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 14: somewhere between two hundred and three hundred. That's virtually zero, 571 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 14: and in just one hundred days. It really is remarkable. 572 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 9: It shows that the missing ingredient. 573 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 14: Was enforcement and the political will to do enforcement, not 574 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 14: new books, laws on the books, not comprehensive immigration reform, 575 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 14: which is the thing that that was pointing to. 576 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 15: Just enforcement. That said, I think the wall. 577 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 14: While he's shown that it's not necessary to have the wall, 578 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 14: that is something that his base really want because it 579 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 14: has permanence, because all these things that he's doing now 580 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 14: around enforcement can be undone if somebody from the other 581 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 14: side gets back in. That is more for doing what 582 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 14: Biden did and reopening floodgates again. 583 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and the media is making the wall a big 584 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: issue despite the fact that their legal immigration crisis is over. 585 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of talk about the wall and Who's 586 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 2: going to pay for it? This is something the borders 587 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 2: are Tom Homan addressed overnight. 588 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 18: Trump said in Mexico and pay for the wall, they 589 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 18: have been a roundabout way have been that putting ten 590 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 18: thousand military in the northern and southern border, taking the 591 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 18: action they did remain in Mexico. 592 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: They did not do that. 593 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 18: They're doing it, putting military on the southern boarder, have 594 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 18: moved all immigration to a record law. We're saving millions 595 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 18: of dollars every day on detention, transportation, removal proceedings. We've 596 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 18: more than made up for the. 597 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 11: Costs that wall kosher even without the wall. 598 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: The border crisis is over, and it's because clear that 599 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 2: the part and administration could have stopped or at least 600 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: reduced this issue. The flood of illegals coming in more 601 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 2: than two million a year under Biden, it seems like 602 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: it was a choice not to address the crisis. 603 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 14: It's pretty undeniable because everybody can see the numbers. And 604 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 14: that is really the conclusion that the American people are drawing, 605 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 14: which is that they did not want to stop the 606 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 14: crisis for whatever the reason is that you know, pouring 607 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 14: genographics in and whatever that does to the vote bank 608 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 14: and every other issue dependent how nefarious you want to 609 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 14: think their motives were. It was a choice because he's 610 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 14: proving how quickly and this has happened, and it's the 611 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 14: lowest it's been under any administration going all the way 612 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 14: back to Bush and before, so that really really is remarkable. 613 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 14: The wall, as I was mentioning, still has value, and 614 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 14: that's why his base does hope that he'll go through 615 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 14: with it. But the media nitpicking about who's paying for 616 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 14: it and all that. They're going back to what they 617 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 14: do on other issues that they have lost on so 618 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 14: dramatically in the political arena. They just go to my 619 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 14: nusha and getting into these granular arguments about little issues 620 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 14: because they've lost on the big issue and everybody can 621 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 14: see it now. 622 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 2: Having death, having dealt with illegal immigration, the administration is 623 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 2: focused on deporting the millions or in the country illegally, 624 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 2: and they're now posters of violent illegal immigrants who have 625 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 2: been arrested right outside the press. Tense Kosher, this is 626 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 2: on the White House lawn. It's sending quite a message 627 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: to the media, Kosher, because they are preoccupied with the 628 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 2: so called Maryland Dad, the gangbanger, and they are ignoring 629 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: the fact that violent criminals, killers, rapists are being arrested 630 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 2: and deported. 631 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 14: This is classic Trump, because the man understands media unlike 632 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 14: anybody else. And now those posters, as you say, are 633 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 14: going to be in the backdrop of every hit that 634 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 14: they do unless they try to reposition their cameras. 635 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 15: So that's really funny. 636 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 14: And the reason why is because he again has won 637 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 14: on the issue politically, He's one with the public, and 638 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 14: he's forcing them into a corner where they end up 639 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 14: having to keep defending people like who you see on 640 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 14: those posters. It look like, you know, blug shotting criminals 641 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 14: of tattoos on their faces, Maryland Dad, the sweet. 642 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 15: Student Khalil, all these people. 643 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 14: They're backing into defending the most indefensible people out of 644 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 14: the bunch of illegals. And this is just a strike 645 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 14: reminder every time they go to air. So it's going 646 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 14: to be really funny if those posters stay up. 647 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 2: And despite all the relentlessly negative media about the deportation program, 648 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 2: the polling shows that the majority of Americans are still 649 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 2: in favor of deporting all illegal immigrants, not just those 650 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 2: with criminal convictions, And I think that is a significant 651 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 2: point to note now the major battle right now for 652 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 2: the president is the trade wall, particularly with China. 653 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 3: This is a long. 654 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 2: Term strategy, kosher, but it involves a fair bit of 655 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,879 Speaker 2: short term pain. You're in the US right now. Tell 656 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 2: me how the administration's handling. 657 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 3: This difficult issue. 658 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 2: How do you sell a policy that's all about the 659 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 2: long term interests of the country when you're going to 660 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 2: suffer a little bit of short term discomfort. 661 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 14: You know, it's not easy, and he is paying a 662 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 14: little bit of a price for it, including in his 663 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 14: own base somewhat, but by and large they still are 664 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 14: trusting him and sticking with him, just because the alternative, 665 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 14: which is the status quo, has not worked for the 666 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 14: last half century. So that's something that he can use 667 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 14: to his advantage that even if there's a bit of 668 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 14: fear of the unknown over here, and the short term 669 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 14: pain is something that's a tough pill to swallow, it's 670 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 14: better than the alternative. 671 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 15: He remains more popular than the opposition. He's sort of he's. 672 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 9: Coming to the end of his honeymoon period, but he's 673 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 9: still in it. 674 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 15: So this is the. 675 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 14: Time to strike while the iron's hot, while he's at 676 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 14: his peak in terms of acceptance. He's got the majority 677 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 14: in the legislative branch, and he's got a lot. 678 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 15: Of support for it. 679 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 14: So that's why he's sticking to his broad principles while 680 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 14: being flexible on the specifics, and you're seeing some course 681 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 14: correction or carbouds. 682 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 15: For certain sectors or countries or ab testing. 683 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 14: He does get criticism for that where people say, well, look, 684 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 14: there's no coherent strategy, but many would say that that's 685 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 14: actually part of his strategy. Stick to the fundamentals and 686 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 14: then be willing to course correct on the specifics as 687 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 14: you work through your strategy. 688 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 2: Now you're in DC right now, Democrats stronghold. But let's 689 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 2: talk about another Democrat stronghold, California and the bluest of 690 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 2: blue city San Francisco. So much of the crazy far 691 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 2: left ideology we see in public policy starts in California, 692 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 2: and this latest scheme is one that is certainly raising eyebrows. 693 00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 2: They are bringing the concept of equity to speed cameras. 694 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 2: So if you're a high income owner and you speed, 695 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 2: you'll pay a lot more than someone on a lower income. 696 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 2: If you're in a lower income you get a fifty 697 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 2: percent discount kosher, and if you speed in your car, 698 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 2: but are homeless, Well, you qualify for an eighty percent discount. 699 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 2: Gavin Nuism is backing this plan. The California governor is 700 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 2: a fan Kosher. What do you think about this equity 701 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: in traffic fights? 702 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 14: It is so California because they just love progressive payment 703 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 14: curves on everything from taxes to utility bills and now 704 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 14: even speeding tickets. Everything's about income equality and you have 705 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 14: to have this progressive curve. But why it's even more 706 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 14: ridiculous here because it actually that position just doesn't make 707 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 14: sense economically. 708 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 15: It's actually immoral, many would say. 709 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 14: But here it's even worse because speeding is about keeping 710 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 14: road safe, and there's an externality component to it because 711 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 14: if you have unsafe drivers that speed and do other 712 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 14: things that are in violation of traffic laws, they're putting 713 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 14: other people at risk on the roads on top of themselves. 714 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 14: And so that's why the whole idea of speaking tickets 715 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 14: is it's a mechanism to not have that or to 716 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 14: minimize that. And then if you start segregating it, then 717 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 14: we're basically saying the lower income people are creating greater 718 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 14: risk on the roads for hurting somebody else and the 719 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 14: whole thing makes no sense. 720 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 2: And I can see this spreading throughout California, and some 721 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 2: of our lawmakers here in Australia, I think, will be 722 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 2: looking on with interest, and I nominate Victoria as the 723 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 2: first state where this sort of proposal would be considered. 724 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 3: Kosher gay that thank you so much of your time 725 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 3: tonight still to come. 726 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 2: The male athlete playing netball in eight women's competition, Stephanie 727 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 2: Bastian has the Beta welcome back joining me now is 728 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: the head of advocacy at Women's Forum Australia. 729 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 3: Ste Stephanie. 730 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 2: Let's start with this extraordinary story of a non binary 731 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 2: netball player called David Capron, who goes by he him 732 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 2: and they then pronouns. The Herald Sun reports he has 733 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 2: been playing in women's netball leagues for the past two seasons. 734 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 2: A women's netball coach whose team has played against Capron 735 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 2: has said that allowing him to compete against biological women 736 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 2: was ridiculous and a joke, and I quote so many 737 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 2: clubs were fuming because he was taking the piss and 738 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 2: the complaints have been made and a player who said 739 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 2: Capron trialed at her club said many women felt threatened 740 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 2: and upset that their spot would be taken by someone 741 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 2: who had played at a very high level in a 742 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 2: men's league. But Capron, a National Men's Championship player, has 743 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 2: told their old son he wanted to be a beacon 744 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 2: of hope for young queer kure so have little to 745 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 2: no representation in community. 746 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,919 Speaker 3: Sport, steph. 747 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 2: What has been their reaction from netball authorities? Surely their 748 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 2: first priority is to protect female players and ensure fairness. 749 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 19: Look, first of all, can I just say how encouraging 750 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 19: and wonderful it is that these female players and the 751 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,280 Speaker 19: coach are speaking out and pushing back. Netball Australia's response 752 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 19: has been mediocre at best. They came out supporting the 753 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 19: inclusion of trans players and said that if there are 754 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 19: concerns they'll look to address them. But I think Mark 755 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 19: Butler needs to be held accountable too, because two months 756 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 19: ago today he said that the women's sex based rights 757 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 19: for sport were protected under the Sex Discrimination Act, that 758 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,439 Speaker 19: there were provisions in the SDA and that this wasn't 759 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 19: an issue. Now we have a man who's playing in 760 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 19: a female sport who's also playing as an inn and 761 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 19: a male category as well. It's an absolute job now. 762 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 19: The SDA needs reforming because there is a lack of clarity. 763 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 19: The rules are murky, It absolutely is murky, and Butler 764 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 19: has been completely. 765 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 2: Dismissive of this as an issue in Australia. He seems 766 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 2: to think it's just something that happens overseas and the 767 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 2: US and the UK and they're no local examples when 768 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 2: week after week, Sephany we seem to highlight local examples 769 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: and the women who speak out are often attacked or 770 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 2: just ignored. 771 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,879 Speaker 19: Absolutely, they face serious legal repercussions if they speak out, 772 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 19: they can be sued and dragged caught. But I think 773 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 19: the clubs are often in a similar position as well, 774 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 19: where they're afraid that if they do push back, or 775 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 19: they're afraid of litigation because under the STA they're not protected. 776 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,479 Speaker 19: There needs to be greater clarity and if you read 777 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 19: the SDA revisions in conjunction with the austral Human Rights 778 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 19: Commissioned Sporting Guidelines, it's just it's a legal mindfield that 779 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 19: needs to be cleared up by Parliament now. 780 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 2: As we're reported last night, the women will speak rally 781 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 2: in Melbourne on the weekend, organized by Women's Voices Australia 782 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 2: descended into chaos after was disrupted by pro trans protesters. 783 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,760 Speaker 2: There was a counter protest which quickly became violent. 784 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 20: Street fights break out in the city. Fists fly as 785 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 20: transgender rights protesters and opponents scuffle in skirmishes, Capsicum spray 786 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:45,720 Speaker 20: used to disperse crowds, police storming in to arrest two people. 787 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:53,240 Speaker 20: Across four hours of mayhem, this protester unmasked on Swanston Street. 788 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 20: Others obstructing roads and blocking trams as they marched through 789 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 20: the city. Our of cat and mouse with police through 790 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 20: the CBD steph. 791 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 2: There was four hours of mayhem in the Melbourne CBD, 792 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 2: only a couple of arrests and women again were intimidated 793 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 2: for just holding a peaceful protest. 794 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 19: It's extraordinary. I mean, look at the heavy police presence 795 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 19: to protect these women speaking out. We are constantly told 796 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 19: that these transwrts activists are marginalized, they're victims, but for 797 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 19: such a well supported, well funded lobby group, they're extremely violent. 798 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,280 Speaker 19: They're absolute bullies. There were shop owners closing their stores 799 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,240 Speaker 19: to protect their customers and their merchandise from the rabble 800 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 19: running through the street. 801 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 3: And once again there's been. 802 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 19: A lack of political leadership in calling out and condemning 803 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 19: their behavior. This behavior will not stop until it is 804 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 19: condemned in the media and by a political leaders across 805 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 19: the board. 806 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 2: And we've seen this behavior over and over again. Obviously, 807 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 2: the more demail incident is the one that we have 808 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 2: spoken about repeatedly, the fact that she was attacked, despite 809 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 2: the fact that she was a victim of this phenomenon 810 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,720 Speaker 2: where women try to hold a rally to talk about 811 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 2: their rights and these counter protests to show up. They're violent, 812 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 2: they're feral, more deeming was physically assaulted, she was verbally assaulted, 813 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,399 Speaker 2: and then her own party leader attacked her. Have we 814 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 2: come some distance from that that was a couple of 815 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 2: years ago, Stephanie. Is there a little bit more sanity 816 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 2: when we see these sort of scenes and some of 817 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 2: the media reporting seems to be a little bit more 818 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,479 Speaker 2: balanced now compared to a couple of years ago. 819 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 19: Absolutely, the conversation has definitely changed, and that is a 820 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 19: silver lining in this whole scenario. I couldn't find any 821 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 19: fault with the reporting. It was very the way that 822 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 19: it was discribed women's rights rallies, trans rights activists. It 823 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 19: was all very accurate and I think that, you know, 824 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 19: the new leader, Brad Batton, has been very supportive of Moira, 825 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 19: which is very encouraging. So yes, I think the conversation 826 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 19: is shifting, and I think the police also should be 827 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 19: commended for their wonderful role in protecting women. The dial 828 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 19: is moving that these society's attitudes are changing and shifting, 829 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 19: which I think is really positive, and it's helped by 830 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 19: decisions in the UK and Trump's executive orders, and hopefully 831 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 19: we see more of this to come. 832 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:37,879 Speaker 3: Now. 833 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 2: Talking about the UK, actor Pedro Pascal has attacked author JK. 834 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 2: Rowling on x following the UK Supreme Court's historic ruling 835 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 2: confirming that a woman is indeed an adult female. Pascal 836 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 2: was responding to a comment from an activist urging people 837 00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 2: to boycott JK. Rolling's works. This is what he said 838 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 2: about the best selling author and women's rights champion. And 839 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 2: excuse me for the language here he said, awful, disgusting 840 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 2: shit is exactly right. Heinous loser behavior, Steph. This is 841 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 2: just such a hideous attack against a woman who should 842 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 2: be a hero to the left. She is off the 843 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,479 Speaker 2: left politically other than on this issue. She is very 844 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 2: so called progressive and yet this is how she is 845 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 2: smeared for merely standing up for women's rights and being 846 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 2: on the right side of history. 847 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 19: Absolutely, he comes across as another entitled male celebrity telling 848 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 19: woman what they can and can't think. I mean, we 849 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 19: hear words like misogyny and the patriarchy thrown around, and 850 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 19: I don't buy into those terms too often, but I 851 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 19: see it a lot in this movement, and it's just 852 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 19: not acceptable. It should be called out and condemned by 853 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 19: the media industry. 854 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Stephanie Bastien, thank you so much for your time tonight, 855 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 2: and that's all the time we have tonight. 856 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night. Up next, it's Newsnight.
