Speaker 1: General Man. Welcome the Late Bay.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson, with Joe Hildebrand and Liz Storer coming
Speaker 3: up tonight. The Trump Dance has become even more popular
Speaker 3: than the Macarena. We might even be able to get
Speaker 3: Joe Hildebrand to do it a bit later. Plus, when
Speaker 3: we look at the papers, Sydney residents told not to
Speaker 3: wash their clothes or their dishes in order to conserve power.
Speaker 3: I thought this was a first world country. And the
Speaker 3: front page of the Canberra Times tomorrow details which government
Speaker 3: department has increasing levels of harassment and bullying. We'll share
Speaker 3: that with you a bit later when we get to
Speaker 3: tomorrow's news.
Speaker 2: But first some good news.
Speaker 3: Should we dream for a moment that the woke mind
Speaker 3: virus might just be on its deathbed. According to Pew Research,
Speaker 3: fifty two percent of American workers have been trained in diversity,
Speaker 3: equity and inclusion at a cost can you believe it
Speaker 3: of eight billion dollars a year to industry. But DEI
Speaker 3: policies popularized in twenty twenty after the death of George Floyd, Well,
Speaker 3: they're starting to be wound back as people get sick
Speaker 3: to death of being pitted against each other. Walmart is
Speaker 3: the latest corporation to announce they are completely abandoning DEI policies,
Speaker 3: and this is not a tweak. This is an absolute
Speaker 3: overhaul of all of their policies.
Speaker 2: Here's what they've announced.
Speaker 3: They've announced that they will close down their Equity Racial Center,
Speaker 3: which they established in twenty twenty at a cost of
Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: That's gone.
Speaker 3: They've said they're no longer going to take into account
Speaker 3: the racial and gender mix of suppliers when ordering contracts.
Speaker 3: They've said they're no longer going to monitor LGBTQ plus
Speaker 3: inclusion in their workplace.
Speaker 2: But more than that, they're going to.
Speaker 3: Review the sponsorship of all Pride events, so they're not
Speaker 3: financially supporting anything that sexualizes children, which basically means they
Speaker 3: won't be supporting any Pride events. And on top of that,
Speaker 3: they're reviewing all of their products and getting rid of
Speaker 3: anything that sexualizes or promotes trans and non binary products
Speaker 3: to children. Now bear in mind walpart Walmart employee one
Speaker 3: point six one point eight million Americans, So this is
Speaker 3: a big deal. But they're not the first company to
Speaker 3: do this. The Ford Motor Company Low's, Boeing, Harley Davidson
Speaker 3: have all announced prior to Walmart's announcement that they too
Speaker 3: are abandoning DEI principles.
Speaker 2: So, Joe and Liz, here's my question. Is this because
Speaker 2: of Trump?
Speaker 3: Or was this already happening and Trump kind of tapped
Speaker 3: into a groundswell that existed already and is growing stronger,
Speaker 3: not just in America but maybe here in Australia as well.
Speaker 2: Dare we dream?
Speaker 4: I think this was definitely already happening, as these companies
Speaker 4: just came to bear with what they were actually doing
Speaker 4: and going what are we getting out of this? It's
Speaker 4: certainly not floating with our base. On top of the
Speaker 4: companies that you've already listed, there's John Deere, tractor supply,
Speaker 4: Molsen cause Jack Daniels, I think they've just realized we're
Speaker 4: spending all these money on this DEI initiatives. It's simply
Speaker 4: not floating with our customer base and perhaps just the
Speaker 4: general question of what are we doing this anyway? Like
Speaker 4: John Deere is a tractor company, what interest do you
Speaker 4: have in DEI in preaching to people, whether it be
Speaker 4: your employees or your clients, your customers about this kind
Speaker 4: of thing. Also, what helps really get this on the
Speaker 4: nose is a new study by a place called Network
Speaker 4: Contagion Research Institute NCRII in America. They've done some study
Speaker 4: on these DEI practices, which are very prolific, not just
Speaker 4: in workplaces but in.
Speaker 5: Schools, in universities, very.
Speaker 4: Much in America and as we know here in Australia
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 5: So here's the guy who headed up this study. His
Speaker 5: name is.
Speaker 6: How do you know it?
Speaker 5: To him, Liz Finkelstein, he said.
Speaker 4: What we did in this study was we took a
Speaker 4: lot of these ideas that were found to still be
Speaker 4: very prominent in a lot of these DEI lectures and
Speaker 4: interventions and training, and we said, well, how.
Speaker 5: Is this going to affect people.
Speaker 4: What we found is that when people are exposed to
Speaker 4: this ideology, what happens is they become hostile, without any
Speaker 4: indication that anything racist actually happened. These findings from this
Speaker 4: research were so shocking and forceful that the author'smedia automatically
Speaker 4: they'd use three hundred and twenty four participants in the
Speaker 4: original piece of work in which they gave some people
Speaker 4: just to completely race neutral piece of text on corn
Speaker 4: of all topics to read, and then they gave other
Speaker 4: participants these really race baty articles by well known Kendy
Speaker 4: and DiAngelo, who you are really big on all things racism.
Speaker 4: So they got all these participants together and then they
Speaker 4: gave them a completely race neutral scenario in which a
Speaker 4: student is rejected from college, and they ask for.
Speaker 5: These people's responses.
Speaker 4: Well, the research was absolutely comprehensive. The implications of these
Speaker 4: findings can simply not be downplayed.
Speaker 5: The research clearly showed that instead of.
Speaker 4: Achieving equality dismantling systemic oppression, which is what all these
Speaker 4: dei tichboxes are supposed to be doing, they may well,
Speaker 4: in fact be deepening divisions and this cultural resentment between races.
Speaker 4: So well done to all the corporations spending eight billion
Speaker 4: dollars a year on this rubbish, you may well be
Speaker 4: undermining the very cause that you claim to be promoting. Now,
Speaker 4: this research was, like I say, so comprehensive, so decisive.
Speaker 4: The researchers couldn't believe it, and they said, okay, let's
Speaker 4: go again.
Speaker 5: Let's go again. We'll do the exact.
Speaker 4: Same thing, but with almost three times the amount of participants.
Speaker 4: So this time they got together just under a thousand people,
Speaker 4: much much bigger set of participants there, and they found
Speaker 4: exactly the same thing. They got exactly the same research
Speaker 4: data back.
Speaker 5: I think it's.
Speaker 4: Absolutely incredible as well that this research has been suppressed.
Speaker 5: The New York Times refused to.
Speaker 4: Touch it, despite the fact that they had over twenty
Speaker 4: times previously publicized the ncri's findings on other research that
Speaker 4: they'd done, and Bloomberg just turned around and said, not
Speaker 4: on your life.
Speaker 5: The editor was like, I'm not touching this.
Speaker 4: We're all about DEI, So god forbid we let people
Speaker 4: know that in fact, research shows this stuff ain't even working.
Speaker 4: Not only is it not working, it's undermining the very
Speaker 4: causes we think.
Speaker 5: That we're achieving. It's just incredible, Joe.
Speaker 4: Nobody wants to admit familiar it is incredible.
Speaker 6: I mean, I suppose what the report's right to get
Speaker 6: out is that if you are if you are told
Speaker 6: that racism is absolutely everywhere and that you've got to
Speaker 6: be hypervigilant and look for it everywhere because it is
Speaker 6: everywhere and you just haven't been seeing it before, then
Speaker 6: obviously you're going to see it everywhere. And the problem
Speaker 6: with seeing it everywhere is then you miss it when
Speaker 6: it actually matters, and when it's so. This is the
Speaker 6: whole problem with anything to do with identity politics or
Speaker 6: race based politics. It doesn't address the disadvantage that someone
Speaker 6: may or may not be suffering because of their race.
Speaker 6: It just means that you see racism everywhere, and you
Speaker 6: are more likely to see all this racism and in
Speaker 6: it experience all this racism if you are alive to
Speaker 6: awake to or if you will woke to the racism,
Speaker 6: which means that it is usually the most overprivileged, tertiary educated, affluent,
Speaker 6: well educated people and I use that in air quotes,
Speaker 6: who feel the most racially oppressed even though they are
Speaker 6: in fact the most privileged of their race.
Speaker 1: Typically so.
Speaker 6: So that is why it is completely perverse and backward,
Speaker 6: and it's why I think we should always see things
Speaker 6: in terms of disadvantage instead of seeing things in terms
Speaker 6: I've raised them and saying, all right, who is worse off?
Speaker 6: Who is really sorry? Now, there's no question that, for example,
Speaker 6: there are Indigenous communities in Australia that are terribly disadvantaged
Speaker 6: and have horrible outcomes in terms of violence, substances, health,
Speaker 6: educational outcomes, job opportunities, all that sort of stuff. But
Speaker 6: you focus on those disadvantages and you fix them rather
Speaker 6: than saying, okay, well, because this terrible disadvantage is happening
Speaker 6: in will Kenya, we better make sure that we're not
Speaker 6: racist to you know, you know, affluent indigenous people who
Speaker 6: just happen to be indigenous but living in you know,
Speaker 6: say in a city Willara or Glebe or Newtown or
Speaker 6: North Kirk. And so the whole problem with seeing things
Speaker 6: through the lens of race, through the lens of color,
Speaker 6: is it actually ignores disadvantage. And that is why it
Speaker 6: is so attractive to the new Left, if you like,
Speaker 6: so the West East and West Coast elites, because they
Speaker 6: can claim disadvantage, they can claim oppression that say, I've
Speaker 6: been you know, hi, I'm from MSNB, say and I'm
Speaker 6: discriminated against because despite the fact i own three hundred
Speaker 6: thousand dollars a year, I'm black. Where instead of ignoring
Speaker 6: the fact that there are heads of disadvantaged people who
Speaker 6: are not getting a look in because rich, privileged elites
Speaker 6: are soaking up all the oppression for themselves because they're
Speaker 6: the ones who are alive.
Speaker 1: To it and can see it everywhere. It's a sickness.
Speaker 3: The other problem with DEI is it teaches people about
Speaker 3: race to the point of obsession. So then you get
Speaker 3: people who are obsessed with race. Well, what do you
Speaker 3: call someone who's obsessed with race?
Speaker 2: A racer? And so I wrote a column for the Australian.
Speaker 3: Newspaper because, as you guys know, I've got twin boys
Speaker 3: who were born in Ethiopius. They're black, and I wrote
Speaker 3: a column for The Australian saying that the biggest thing
Speaker 3: I'm trying to protect my kids from is not from racism,
Speaker 3: it's from imagining racism is everywhere. So the whole diversity,
Speaker 3: equity and inclusion stuff is terrible for my kids because
Speaker 3: what it does is it would teach my black children
Speaker 3: to be hyper sensitive about race, and then it would
Speaker 3: teach everyone around them to be walking on eggshells because
Speaker 3: you know, don't look at them sideways, because they'll interpret
Speaker 3: that as you're looking at them sideways because they're African,
Speaker 3: and it actually brings a division. So my kids are
Speaker 3: hyper aware. In this scenario of a fence, you don't
Speaker 3: want to offend them, so you keep your distance. They
Speaker 3: interpret that as well, you're keeping your distance. Obviously, because
Speaker 3: I'm black. So the whole thing snowballs, and it just
Speaker 3: creates more and more division when the intention was supposed
Speaker 3: to be to bring people together. So the best way
Speaker 3: to end racism is just to stop talking about race.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 6: Martin Luther King said it judge a man by the
Speaker 6: content of his character, not the color of his skin.
Speaker 6: It is pretty effing simple. And all the great crimes
Speaker 6: that have been commit when people didn't do that, when
Speaker 6: they said, because you are this race, because you are
Speaker 6: a different color, that is what makes you different, and
Speaker 6: we have to treat you different.
Speaker 1: I've got to turn you flying the same principle.
Speaker 3: Lot of times in our apartment building, my boys will
Speaker 3: comment on the fact that the older people when they
Speaker 3: get in the elevator with them, they look at them
Speaker 3: a little bit like, and I said, well, you're six
Speaker 3: foot two and you're black, and you're athletic, and there
Speaker 3: are older people, so they might I said, what happens then,
Speaker 3: and they said, well, we smile and say hello, and
Speaker 3: I said we'll end. And they said, well, the older
Speaker 3: people instantly melt and they love us. And I said, exactly,
Speaker 3: because they're getting to know you.
Speaker 2: And that's the point.
Speaker 3: You don't get to know someone based on their melanin
Speaker 3: or their sexuality or whatever.
Speaker 2: You get to know them as a human being.
Speaker 6: I mean, I've got a few people based on their sexuality.
Speaker 5: God Joe every time. Every time, it.
Speaker 4: Was Morgan Freeman who said, if you want to end racism,
Speaker 4: just stop talking about it, stop talking about race. I
Speaker 4: think you hit the nail on the head to the
Speaker 4: UK now where MP's in the House of Commons are
Speaker 4: about to decide regarding a bill on Friday which will
Speaker 4: decide the future of assisted suicide.
Speaker 5: In the UK. It's the first of its kind.
Speaker 4: These guys have racked their brains for weeks now as
Speaker 4: to where they stand on.
Speaker 5: This morally fraught issue.
Speaker 4: But imagine you're just tubing around London, as pretty much
Speaker 4: everyone does, especially you come across what has now been
Speaker 4: dubbed as the Westminster death Tunnel. These have been hung
Speaker 4: throughout the walls of the Westminster Tube station. My dyinglish
Speaker 4: is my family won't see me suffer and I won't
Speaker 4: have to. These ads were put up by dying in Sorry,
Speaker 4: dignity in.
Speaker 5: Dying, because of course, unless.
Speaker 4: You're offering yourself, where's the dignity if you're just leaving
Speaker 4: it up to mother nature. I mean, seriously, I do
Speaker 4: not understand the brains behind such marketing ploys.
Speaker 5: The big question is who funds these people.
Speaker 4: I couldn't find that out, and I'd love to know
Speaker 4: if anybody else can, because this would have cost an
Speaker 4: absolute motza.
Speaker 5: It's a really.
Speaker 4: Strange marketing ploy right because right now this is before
Speaker 4: the House of Commons, So the only real people that
Speaker 4: you should be targeting if your pro assisted suicide are
Speaker 4: the people.
Speaker 5: In the chamber. Why would you be advertising.
Speaker 4: This, this pro death culture in a society which already
Speaker 4: has a serious suicide issue. This is true sadly across
Speaker 4: the West.
Speaker 5: Why on earth would you be promoting this?
Speaker 4: And I was very heartened to see today that people
Speaker 4: from the Samaritans have come along and slapped their little
Speaker 4: signs on top of these huge billboards. The Samaritans are
Speaker 4: a charity which supports people suffering emotion or distress, struggling
Speaker 4: to cope, or are at risk of suicide. So they
Speaker 4: wanted to make their presence known and be like, hold up,
Speaker 4: while you're encouraging people to off themselves, we want to
Speaker 4: encourage people to stay alive. As long as possible, and
Speaker 4: if they are struggling, give us a call.
Speaker 5: We are there for them. Now.
Speaker 4: I can understand people who are very pro this issue,
Speaker 4: wanting to write submissions or contacting their local MP.
Speaker 5: But this isn't that.
Speaker 4: It's literally promoting amongst society, this pro death culture, and.
Speaker 3: Of all the places to promote it in the Tube,
Speaker 3: which is a well known place where people go to
Speaker 3: end their lives. There's been sixty eight suicides and or
Speaker 3: suicide attempts in the London Tube in the past twelve months.
Speaker 3: So can you imagine having a sign there promoting volunteer
Speaker 3: suicide or assistant suicide where they call it these diet days,
Speaker 3: where you've got people actually contemplating ending their lives.
Speaker 2: On top of that, the Transport.
Speaker 3: For London organization which approves ads in the Tube, say
Speaker 3: they will not approve ads or images or messages which
Speaker 3: relate to matters of public controversy or sensitivity.
Speaker 2: And yet they've approved this.
Speaker 3: But it gets even more outrageous because you're not allowed
Speaker 3: to advertise fast food in the Tube because it's unhealthy.
Speaker 3: There was a comedian ed Gamble I share how ridiculous
Speaker 3: this is. A comedian ed gamble. Just a little more
Speaker 3: than a year ago, he was advertising a stand up
Speaker 3: comedy show he was doing and in the advertisement for
Speaker 3: his stand up comedy show, he's holding a hot dog. Well,
Speaker 3: that advertisement was not approved because you can't advertise hot
Speaker 3: dogs in the tube. It's not healthy. There was an
Speaker 3: ad for a weight loss and it asked women, are
Speaker 3: you beach body ready? And Sadik Khan, the Mayor of London,
Speaker 3: said nobody should feel pressurized while they travel on the
Speaker 3: tube into unrealistic expectations surrounding their bodies. So you can
Speaker 3: advertise assisted suicide in the tube, but you can't advertise
Speaker 3: with Big.
Speaker 2: Mac and coke.
Speaker 6: There's a big difference there, James, and you know it.
Speaker 6: I mean, you can advertise euthanasia and that's a legitimate politically.
Speaker 6: You can advertise euth in asia in the tube, but
Speaker 6: your advertised fast food. I mean, let's be serious, fast
Speaker 6: food could kill you.
Speaker 3: That's exactly the irony, Joe, you pointed it out.
Speaker 1: Although I have to say, but why are they turning.
Speaker 2: A blind eye to this?
Speaker 3: Why does Saidik Kahan get all up at you about
Speaker 3: fast food?
Speaker 2: We all know, but it's just will tell me why.
Speaker 6: We all know what, because because people don't find things
Speaker 6: controversial if they agree with them. And so if you've
Speaker 6: got an electorate, a constituency like London, which tends to
Speaker 6: be apart from.
Speaker 1: The glorious years of Boris.
Speaker 6: Johnson, that tends to be like in a city, in
Speaker 6: urban constituencies right around the world in the West anyway,
Speaker 6: they're very progressive and they you know, can't like I'm
Speaker 6: sure you know, if he was living in Australia, all
Speaker 6: his friends would have voted for the Voice, if he
Speaker 6: was living in the US, or none of his friends
Speaker 6: would have voted for Donald Trump, and so he'd be thinking, oh, well,
Speaker 6: this is nothing controversy about this. This is what ninety
Speaker 6: percent of people think. But that is why again, that
Speaker 6: is why they put these things out there instead of
Speaker 6: targeting MPs directly, because if you have just people bombarding
Speaker 6: MPs inboxes with stuff that spam, but if you are
Speaker 6: getting people like us to talk about it, but more
Speaker 6: importantly getting people in London to talk about it, and
Speaker 6: they are then talking to their MPs. So when their
Speaker 6: MPs go and talk to their constituents this sort of
Speaker 6: thing is brought up, they think, oh, this isn't just
Speaker 6: a letter writing campaign. This is a real issue in
Speaker 6: the community. In the community, and so they take it
Speaker 6: more seriously. But I have to say the first thing
Speaker 6: I thought when I saw this and I said my
Speaker 6: dying wishes this was someone just sent me a message
Speaker 6: on Instagram. Paul said, I have two dying wishes. One
Speaker 6: is I want my remains to be spread around Disneyland,
Speaker 6: and two is I don't want to be cremated.
Speaker 3: I just this may well backfire on proponents of euthanasia
Speaker 3: because advertising it publicly like this before, as you said,
Speaker 3: it seemed, and to do it in the tube where
Speaker 3: people do tend to go to take their lives is
Speaker 3: just unbelievable. Let's stay overseas, but go to France for
Speaker 3: a moment you might remember. Back in twenty twenty, a
Speaker 3: thirteen year old Muslim girl accused her classroom teacher of Islamophobia.
Speaker 3: She said that during class he held up pictures of
Speaker 3: a Charlie Hebdo magazine that showed images of Mohammed, but
Speaker 3: prior to doing that, he sent all of the Muslim
Speaker 3: children out of the class. Now she complained to her
Speaker 3: father and mother about Islamophobia. They went online and started
Speaker 3: the campaign against the teacher, which resulted in the Muslim
Speaker 3: community getting very upset. Eventually, an eighteen year old Chechen
Speaker 3: migrant got a knife, tracked down the teacher with help
Speaker 3: from some of the students, and publicly beheaded him.
Speaker 2: Now this was a few years ago.
Speaker 3: Eight people have been charged with being accessories to this murder,
Speaker 3: and they're now on trial.
Speaker 2: But here's what happened just this week.
Speaker 3: The thirteen year old girl who made the accusation, she's
Speaker 3: now seventeen. She's admitted in court she made the whole
Speaker 3: thing up. She lied about it because she had been
Speaker 3: suspended from school for two days and was scared her
Speaker 3: parents would be upset with her, so rather than tell
Speaker 3: them she'd been suspended, she told them the teacher was
Speaker 3: Islamophobic and had kicked all the Muslim kids out of
Speaker 3: the classroom. She made a public apology in the courtroom
Speaker 3: this week, saying, I would like to apologize to the
Speaker 3: family of slain teacher Samuel Patti, who, as I said,
Speaker 3: was publicly decapitated.
Speaker 2: She said, I'd destroyed your lives. I am sorry.
Speaker 3: She's been given eight months of probation for slander, but
Speaker 3: this is just an unbelievably sad story, but beyond sad,
Speaker 3: it highlights the danger we now have in Western countries
Speaker 3: where you've got unchecked immigration, where you've got these different
Speaker 3: cultures living in ghettos, where you've got the accusation of
Speaker 3: Islamophobia that can result in some people starting to become violent.
Speaker 3: And this is not an isolated incident. Think about Batley
Speaker 3: Grammar in the UK, where a teacher was accused of
Speaker 3: showing Charlie Hebdo magazine images of Mohammed. He was doing
Speaker 3: it for a six ethics class, and immediately there were
Speaker 3: demonstrations for days outside the school. The school publicly apologized,
Speaker 3: the apology was read by police. Can you believe it
Speaker 3: to demonstrate us to try and shew them away? There
Speaker 3: were death threats against the teacher. He's been in hiding
Speaker 3: with his wife and four children for the past three
Speaker 3: years and is still in hiding to this day. And
Speaker 3: I found about another three, just really quickly, another three examples,
Speaker 3: so we don't have time to go into but you've
Speaker 3: got school teachers who are petrified now of talking about Islam,
Speaker 3: of talking about basic ethics as to whether or not
Speaker 3: you can show an image because of what happened to
Speaker 3: this teacher in France and to adssault to the wound.
Speaker 2: The whole thing wasn't even true.
Speaker 3: She wasn't even in that classroom of the teacher she
Speaker 3: accused of being Islamophobia.
Speaker 4: Here we have these Western countries that have allowed radicals.
Speaker 4: Obviously we're not talking about the vast majority of Muslims,
Speaker 4: we're talking about radical Islamists into their countries because on
Speaker 4: an application form you can't tell the difference between a
Speaker 4: garden variety someone who follows the Muslim faith, and someone
Speaker 4: who is capable of literally taking someone's head off their
Speaker 4: body simply over an accusation of Islamophobia.
Speaker 5: I remember years and years ago a.
Speaker 4: Priest in France was in the middle of mass and
Speaker 4: these two blokes ran in Islamists and beheaded him in
Speaker 4: front of the entire Catholic Mass that he was conducting
Speaker 4: at the time. And look, there is no punishment severe enough.
Speaker 4: But this means that these Western countries, especially the UK
Speaker 4: and France, have seen far more of this than God
Speaker 4: God willing, we will ever see in Australia. But these
Speaker 4: instances of utter brutality. Charlie hebdo itself is another perfect example,
Speaker 4: these journals gave their lives simply for mocking the prophet Muhammad,
Speaker 4: and people now feel.
Speaker 5: Like they're held hostage in their own country.
Speaker 3: Should point out it's not just in Western countries where
Speaker 3: you've got unchecked immigration, and as you said, it's not
Speaker 3: all Muslims. There's a small group of radicals, but even
Speaker 3: in countries like Pakistan where you can make accusations of
Speaker 3: blasphemy against people you don't like or against people of
Speaker 3: another faith. And that's why Western nations need to be
Speaker 3: very careful with de facto blasphemy laws and need to
Speaker 3: make it very clear we don't tolerate this in the West,
Speaker 3: because if you start to have de facto blasphemy laws,
Speaker 3: you are providing.
Speaker 2: Encouragement to some people to think.
Speaker 6: Of that is exactly right. And that's what I was
Speaker 6: going to say. I don't I don't think this is
Speaker 6: an immigration problem so much as a cultural problem. And
Speaker 6: we see ice is killed I killed far more people
Speaker 6: in Syria than it did in France. The Isis ideology
Speaker 6: is slaughtering far more people in the Arab world than
Speaker 6: it is in the Western world, and has and that
Speaker 6: was when a lot of these things took place, saying
Speaker 6: with al Qaeda, same with other extremists, they killed more
Speaker 6: in Nigeria than they are here. So it's not the
Speaker 6: problem is that these people exist at all, not necessarily
Speaker 6: where they exist, they shouldn't exist. They shouldn't think the
Speaker 6: things that they think, and that is a product of
Speaker 6: a diseased mind.
Speaker 1: Where the West.
Speaker 6: Again fails, or where supposed sort of smart people who
Speaker 6: are meant to be in charge fail, is when they
Speaker 6: give these acts a fig leaf of legitimacy. So again
Speaker 6: we're just talking about it before. If you are conditioned
Speaker 6: to think that Islamophobia is everywhere, or encourage people to
Speaker 6: see Islamophobia everywhere, then that is exactly what they are
Speaker 6: to do, and that then makes what you do next
Speaker 6: as a result of that more legitimate than it otherwise
Speaker 6: would be. And it's exactly the same as we've seen
Speaker 6: with the outrage and debate and protest over Israel and Palestine.
Speaker 6: People say, oh no, we're not anti jew we're just
Speaker 6: anti Zionist. Oh no, we don't hate Jewish people, we
Speaker 6: just hate the State of Israel or Israeli project. Then
Speaker 6: wouldn't you know it, You've got people torching cars or
Speaker 6: drawing swastikas on synagogues or doing whatever you've got potential
Speaker 6: hate crimes against Jewish properties. I'm sure it will only
Speaker 6: be a matter of time before Jews are physically well.
Speaker 6: In fact, some Jewish people have been physically assaulted already.
Speaker 6: So again, and then all these people are doing these things.
Speaker 6: But it's okay because I was told by the left,
Speaker 6: by the cultural elites, that I was perfectly justified in
Speaker 6: my outrage and my fury because genocide, because apartheid. Because
Speaker 6: so again, if you fuel the if you legitimize this
Speaker 6: extremism and create a sort of political ideological, sort of
Speaker 6: infrastructure around it that makes it look normal, except makes
Speaker 6: it look sympathetic and okay, then that is exactly what
Speaker 6: these people are going to do. Islamophobia this person.
Speaker 3: A lot of people would say, this all goes back
Speaker 3: to Selman Rushian. Was it the eighties when he had
Speaker 3: a fart white issued against him. Instead of standing up
Speaker 3: midnight right at a free speech and instead of saying
Speaker 3: this is not on in the UK, politicians cowed to Islamists.
Speaker 3: Selman Rushbi went into hiding, and the lesson was learned.
Speaker 3: You can make these accusations work. Facto blasphemy laws and
Speaker 3: it works, and then you've got people who are willing
Speaker 3: to enforce them.
Speaker 2: So it's a major problem.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent Vigilante justice feels like, well, you guys
Speaker 4: approve of this right wrong. Back to Australia now we're
Speaker 4: speaking of a clash of the cultures. Senator Payment has
Speaker 4: taken Senator Pauline Hansen to task.
Speaker 5: This morning.
Speaker 4: Senator Pauline Hanson simply got up in the chamber and said, hey, look,
Speaker 4: no one is allowed to serve in this place as
Speaker 4: a senator or MP in Federal Parliament if they have
Speaker 4: duel citizenship. This is very clear in Section forty four.
Speaker 4: You simply can't do it. But she said, Senator Payman,
Speaker 4: we seem to have made some sort of acquiescence here
Speaker 4: because while Senator Payment has claimed to try to do
Speaker 4: a due diligence to relinquish her Afghani citizenship, she's not
Speaker 4: been successful. So we do indeed have a dual citizen
Speaker 4: in our Senate.
Speaker 5: Is this okay? Shouldn't we have an inquiry into this? Now?
Speaker 5: The inquiry didn't.
Speaker 4: Get up, but Payman was absolutely inceensed at this perfectly
Speaker 4: logical question by Senator Pauline Hansen. You would not believe
Speaker 4: Payman's reaction.
Speaker 5: Here's some of it.
Speaker 7: All that Senator Hansen does in this place is spread hatred,
Speaker 7: spread division, because that's what that's what you're made to
Speaker 7: do here. And it's outrageous, it is it. It's beyond comprehension.
Speaker 4: She then goes on to quote old quotes from Senator
Speaker 4: Pauline Hanson, saying how can you not consider these racism?
Speaker 4: And gosh, doesn't she work herself into a ladder?
Speaker 5: If that is not racist?
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 5: Oh, it's not racist?
Speaker 7: Or somebody bring the dictionary because Senator Hanson does not
Speaker 7: know the definition of racism.
Speaker 4: The fact that you would say.
Speaker 7: Just weeks ago to Senator for rookie piss off back
Speaker 7: to Pakistan, You're not just vindictive, mean nasty, you bring
Speaker 7: disgrace to the human race, no dignity whatsoever as a.
Speaker 4: Senator, picking off, no dignity as a senator. The irony
Speaker 4: seems to be completely lost on payment there.
Speaker 5: What do you call this shrill tantrum?
Speaker 6: It's not lost on Ralph Babbitt, though, the said of
Speaker 6: the sitting behind her, He's expression, I just talk about
Speaker 6: just chewing up the scenery. This guy steals the show.
Speaker 6: It is amazing and he does it all without saying
Speaker 6: a word.
Speaker 4: You would, if you haven't been paying attention to send
Speaker 4: it to Ralph Babett sitting in the background.
Speaker 5: Here, here's one last clip. Pay attention to his facial expressions.
Speaker 7: But you know what, Santa Hanson, how do you live
Speaker 7: with yourself, Santa Hanson, with so much violent hatred? How
Speaker 7: do you live through your days spreading hatred?
Speaker 5: How do you go to sleep?
Speaker 7: How do you look your neighbors in the eye, knowing
Speaker 7: that you come to this place and spreading the vile hatred,
Speaker 7: the vile she's holding up yup business of the day
Speaker 7: because she is obsessed with me.
Speaker 5: Wow, well done.
Speaker 4: Wow, Okay, that wasn't embarrassing for you at all, Senator Payman.
Speaker 4: I mean, these kinds of outcries are just so embarrassing
Speaker 4: to watch. This rade went on for over five minutes,
Speaker 4: and then she finishes it by accusing Senator Pauline Hanson
Speaker 4: of being obsessed with her. You don't think you're a
Speaker 4: bit obsessed, Senator payment It's a perfectly logical inquiry that
Speaker 4: Hanson put up. I mean, we'd all love to know
Speaker 4: what you are doing in our Senate with a dual citizenship.
Speaker 5: Nobody else gets that privilege.
Speaker 4: In fact, between twenty seventeen and twenty and eighteen, fifteen
Speaker 4: members of Parliament were stood down, some by their own
Speaker 4: admission and.
Speaker 5: Others by the High Court because they.
Speaker 4: Were found to have duel citizenship. You don't get to
Speaker 4: do it. And Hanson, even after this to rage, believe
Speaker 4: it or not, she's not back down, says I'm still
Speaker 4: going to be looking into this because it's not lawful,
Speaker 4: which is perfectly fair.
Speaker 5: And then of.
Speaker 4: Course we had Senator Thorpe throwing Payper.
Speaker 6: Well, this is why I'm disappointed with Fatima Payment. I mean,
Speaker 6: she's just not taking it to the next level. She's
Speaker 6: already got a senatorial colleague who's pretty much in her
Speaker 6: exact same position, got elected with one party and then decided,
Speaker 6: I f you. I'm just going to sit by myself
Speaker 6: because you know reasons. And Senator Thorpe's going around, she's
Speaker 6: you know, she's barnstorming the King, she's tearing up Pauline
Speaker 6: Hanson's notes, she's flipping the bird, and Fatima Payment thinks
Speaker 6: she can just get up and say a few crosswords,
Speaker 6: and that's going to make the six o'clock news.
Speaker 1: Try harder, Senator, try harder. That's all.
Speaker 6: But yeah, there is so with the secrety forty four stuff.
Speaker 6: There is if you have taken The reason why everyone
Speaker 6: else got caught out is because they hadn't taken and
Speaker 6: reasonable steps to get rid of the articitisztenship. So she
Speaker 6: does have a defense where she can say, look, the
Speaker 6: Taliban's in charge of Afghanistan. I can't Actually, I've tried
Speaker 6: to get rid of it. I've sent them a.
Speaker 5: Letter, has taken those and he's asking for.
Speaker 3: Chris Bowen was sitting with the Teleiban just last week
Speaker 3: at the that was.
Speaker 6: To tackle climate change perfectly.
Speaker 3: He could have asked, it's not like the Taliban contactable.
Speaker 3: They're going to un events these days.
Speaker 6: After a hard day depriving women of the right to
Speaker 6: vote and girls of an education. This is I'd like
Speaker 6: to sit back and relax with the air conditioner onlike
Speaker 6: anyone else.
Speaker 1: That's why we need net zero.
Speaker 3: This issue with payment and her response is everything we've
Speaker 3: been talking about tonight, where pulling hands and raises a
Speaker 3: simple constitutional issue. How can you have dual citizenship? And
Speaker 3: still be sitting here. Should we not be asking questions
Speaker 3: and payment screens racism? And that's the problems and the
Speaker 3: earlier top xamp and goes on really too much DEI
Speaker 3: in our federal Senate.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: Props to Senator Ralph Babett who made that very enjoyable.
Speaker 6: Best supporting actor Best Supporting Actor in emotion fature by
Speaker 6: one thousand.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But not all the politicians in this country are bad.
Speaker 3: And Joe, I know you've got your favorite, so tell
Speaker 3: us about one point.
Speaker 6: Thank you, I think, Thank god, right this, Thank you
Speaker 6: very much, James. This is a little segment I'm going
Speaker 6: to call spin one oh one.
Speaker 1: Right. This is how when you dealt with a crisis.
Speaker 6: When you've got you know, the local news corp tabloid
Speaker 6: up your wazoo, you know, searching for the rent. It's
Speaker 6: got a screaming headline saying.
Speaker 1: How dare you?
Speaker 6: How could you? This is how you handle it.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 6: This is the Adelaide Advertiser this week and it had
Speaker 6: a great yarn, fantastic yarn where the Melanowskis government in
Speaker 6: South Australia. Peter Malinowskus, you may know him for being
Speaker 6: the second most handsome premier on the Australian main line.
Speaker 6: They had an article that found that he was hiring
Speaker 6: a spin doctor on a salary of over four hundred
Speaker 6: thousand dollars. And this is and this is just obviously
Speaker 6: absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Right and.
Speaker 6: They've screened it on the front page of going jumped
Speaker 6: up and down about it.
Speaker 1: Great yarn full props.
Speaker 2: Say Bill Shorten's speech, right, didn't think it was ridiculous?
Speaker 6: No, that's right, and I don't think it's ridiculous either.
Speaker 6: By the way, if anyone, if anyone wants to hire me,
Speaker 6: I'll do it for three ninety nine.
Speaker 1: So just think of the savings.
Speaker 6: But again, now, when these sort of scandals typically hit
Speaker 6: politicians or political leaders, what.
Speaker 1: Do you hear?
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, that's not true. What about the opposition
Speaker 6: they do it too? Oh no, you know that's a lie.
Speaker 6: Either the media has got it wrong again or no, actually,
Speaker 6: it's completely within the rules, et.
Speaker 1: Cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 6: What does Penn and Melanawskus do students of politics listen
Speaker 6: and take note?
Speaker 8: What's donne I think me is the prospect this person
Speaker 8: could get paid over four hundred grand a year. Turns
Speaker 8: out there was never the case. There was an advertising band,
Speaker 8: a band for wages or salary put in the ad
Speaker 8: online that went from two in a thirty thousand to
Speaker 8: four hundred and twenty nine. I spoke to the sea
Speaker 8: of DPC last night that ad is being he's decided
Speaker 8: to withdraw that ad.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 6: So the opposition actually came out and said, quote unquote,
Speaker 6: this doesn't pass the pub test, and Melanauskas came back
Speaker 6: in response and said, this doesn't.
Speaker 1: Pass the pub test. You're absolutely right. We're killing the ad,
Speaker 1: We're killing the position.
Speaker 6: They're not going to get that much.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 6: Thank you very much for bringing it to my attention.
Speaker 6: That is how you kill off a scandal. And it
Speaker 6: is just beautiful to see at least someone in politics
Speaker 6: who knows how.
Speaker 5: To do it and has any for the rest of labor.
Speaker 6: Him and Chris Mins. Just watch what they do. They
Speaker 6: are world class best of all.
Speaker 5: They can hold it a shop together.
Speaker 3: Trying best on that though when they say it doesn't
Speaker 3: pass the pub test, right, why are we spending.
Speaker 2: Two hundred three hundred four hundred k on spin doctors?
Speaker 3: They could just walk down to the local pub, run
Speaker 3: the policy or whatever.
Speaker 2: That gets sad. Do you drink for those they can
Speaker 2: have their.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you've bought a schooner in the
Speaker 6: last couple of months, mate, four hundred grand will probably
Speaker 6: get you about three rounds, So.
Speaker 1: Things go up.
Speaker 6: By way of contrast, this is how not to handle
Speaker 6: a crisis when you're faced by a massive controversy is
Speaker 6: blowing up in your face and it is backfiring terribly,
Speaker 6: and it's all over the enginet and everyone's just having
Speaker 6: a go at you. This is what not to do. Jaguar,
Speaker 6: of course, very famously put out and ad recently in
Speaker 6: which there were no cars. It was an egg for
Speaker 6: Jaguars without any jaguars. Instead, there were various people, and
Speaker 6: this did seem to cover every race, gender, sexuality and everything.
Speaker 6: Have a look, it's just I mean this to me,
Speaker 6: screams E Series V twelve. I just don't even know
Speaker 6: what it was.
Speaker 4: Basically a pile of androgynous looking people you can't quite
Speaker 4: tell whose male or female, wearing a pile of ridiculous outfits.
Speaker 4: They sit down, stand up. It starts by them coming
Speaker 4: out of a lift. Nothing about it makes sense and
Speaker 4: certainly nothing.
Speaker 5: Hearts back to Jaguar.
Speaker 6: Just like B, trans B, gender fluid, B, non binary,
Speaker 6: shag whoever you want as often as you want, good
Speaker 6: on your I'm married. I wish I could too, but
Speaker 6: that's all over for me. I'm just saying I've got
Speaker 6: my lovely wife at home and got huge.
Speaker 3: Accordingly, then how did the Jaguar boss handle all the flat.
Speaker 6: I'm glad you asked, mister Bicpherson.
Speaker 1: I thought we should ask ahead of jar.
Speaker 6: I was just you know, I like to talk about
Speaker 6: problems at home, you know, in separate beds. But we're
Speaker 6: still very emotionally. We've agreed that, you know, we're not
Speaker 6: ready to start seeing other people. But anyway, so the
Speaker 6: head of Jaguar land Rover has actually come out and
Speaker 6: this is these ads are getting absolutely buried, right you
Speaker 6: want to you want to talk about the ratio?
Speaker 1: These are numbers.
Speaker 6: They've got quantum physicists, they've got mathematicians from Harvard University,
Speaker 6: from m I T trying to figure out just how high.
Speaker 1: The ratio is.
Speaker 6: Anyway, so the head of Jaguar land Rover, his name
Speaker 6: is Rawd and Glover, which is about it needs an
Speaker 6: extra hyphen has doubled down, and Hey has said, if
Speaker 6: we play in the same way that everybody else does,
Speaker 6: we'll just get drowned out. So we shouldn't turn up
Speaker 6: like an auto brand. We need to re establish our
Speaker 6: brand and at a completely different price point, so we
Speaker 6: need to act differently. We wanted to move away from
Speaker 6: traditional automotive stereotypes. So now it's not just straight white
Speaker 6: males that are stereotypes, it's straight white automobiles.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they're moving away from stereotypes. They moved
Speaker 3: away from automobiles altogether.
Speaker 2: But it was worse than that.
Speaker 3: He accused people of criticizing the ad of quote vile, hatred,
Speaker 3: and intolerance, a blaze of intolerance to called it. So
Speaker 3: not only did he offend Jaguar owners, but then Jaguar
Speaker 3: owners who dared to say, gee, we don't like your ad.
Speaker 3: That he went further and accused them of being hateful,
Speaker 3: vile and in toller.
Speaker 6: Accuse your customers, accuse your customers of being biggots.
Speaker 1: Always always come back.
Speaker 5: Isn't that the same?
Speaker 1: No, they should smash stereotypes.
Speaker 6: Why should cars have to have things that we associate
Speaker 6: with them traditionally, like wheels.
Speaker 3: On that note, we're going to go to a break
Speaker 3: when we come back. But look at what's making news tomorrow,
Speaker 3: including Sydney residents told not to wash their clothes, all
Speaker 3: their dishes because it's.
Speaker 2: Not enough electricity. Welcome back.
Speaker 3: Let's check out tomorrow's papers, Joe, You've got the Australian
Speaker 3: and apparently we're.
Speaker 2: In the middle of a severe heatwave.
Speaker 6: Yes, Chris Bowen, Yes, well you wouldn't know this, but
Speaker 6: apparently it was a little bit hot in Sydney today
Speaker 6: it's a little bit. Yes, in Penrith it is, I
Speaker 6: believe on fire. It is seriously so hot, especially Western
Speaker 6: Sydney that copped it in the neck. And this brings
Speaker 6: us to the question of what we do when it's
Speaker 6: really hot. Well, the answer, according to Gumman author it is,
Speaker 6: is not the dishes. The answers. Do not put on
Speaker 6: the dishruptioner, don't put on your washing machine, don't put
Speaker 6: on anything energy intensive like you know, air conditioning. Now
Speaker 6: you're allowed to put on air conditioning, but they say
Speaker 6: held off doing other appliances. And this, of course has
Speaker 6: raised a few eyebrows because we are a first world country.
Speaker 6: Mildly hot major problems is.
Speaker 1: The big pig splash and the OS.
Speaker 6: Tomorrow, climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will declare renewables are
Speaker 6: the only solution to the nation's energy wos and put
Speaker 6: the blame for volatility in the electricity grid on coal
Speaker 6: fired power stations. After New South Wales residents we're told
Speaker 6: to avoid using dishwashers, washing machines and pull filter pumps
Speaker 6: quite important on a hot day what I thought to
Speaker 6: prevent blackouts, so this is not hugely uncommon on super
Speaker 6: hot days. We had the former climate change Minister for
Speaker 6: the coalition, Matt Keane, who I know is a favorite
Speaker 6: of liberals and conservatives across the nation, but he said
Speaker 6: the same thing and absolutely copped it. And then strangely
Speaker 6: the Energy Minister, Penny Sharp went said the same thing,
Speaker 6: and then Chris Mins said the same thing, but in
Speaker 6: a much more calm and sensible and handsome fashion. But
Speaker 6: it has raised questions as to why we do not
Speaker 6: have enough reliable, secure based load power for people to
Speaker 6: be able to run their appliances on hot days. And
Speaker 6: Chris Bowen has come out and said, well, actually this
Speaker 6: is because two I think it's two coal five power
Speaker 6: stations were offline because of faults or maintenance. So it's
Speaker 6: all coal's fault for not working. And of course other
Speaker 6: people are saying no, it's all renewable's fault because the
Speaker 6: reason the three to eight pm window is the the
Speaker 6: boat and zone for using those heavy energy appliances is
Speaker 6: because that is when solar power starts to die down.
Speaker 3: I've got to say, I think the headline in the
Speaker 3: Australian is absolutely right.
Speaker 2: It was mildly hot. It wasn't a severe weak wave.
Speaker 3: Sure it might have been the nine at Penrith, but
Speaker 3: at most of Sydney it was around thirty degrees.
Speaker 1: Most of Sydney pretty harm summer.
Speaker 3: And on top of that for Chris Bow and then
Speaker 3: to blame coal fired power stations for having maintenance when
Speaker 3: the governments provide absolutely zero incentive. In fact, they've provided
Speaker 3: disincentive to keep coal fired power stations well maintained. I
Speaker 3: mean for him to blame a heat wave and the coal,
Speaker 3: and especially when and Simon Benson points it out brilliantly
Speaker 3: in a column on the front page as well, that
Speaker 3: you know, coal is the cause of climate change and
Speaker 3: if only we had a bit more coal then now
Speaker 3: electricity would have been fine today you can't have.
Speaker 4: I mean we have already have had the blackouts in
Speaker 4: the CBD yesterday and certain parts of Western Sydney as well.
Speaker 4: They didn't have power for hours and hours and they
Speaker 4: were told, oh, it's a really hot day. And then
Speaker 4: the Osgrid themselves said, actually, this has nothing to do
Speaker 4: with the fact that.
Speaker 5: It's a hot day.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now the clown show just continues. Right.
Speaker 6: Well, look, you might think that Chris Bowen's claims are ridiculous,
Speaker 6: us James I would just say hold my beer, because
Speaker 6: John Sector has some claims his own. In particular, it
Speaker 6: is a PTSD compo claim. John Secca, the infamous former
Speaker 6: head of the Victorian Division of the CFMEU and all
Speaker 6: round great guy, he has launched since he's been ousted,
Speaker 6: and you just would not believe this. He has launched
Speaker 6: a claim for post traumatic stress disorder. He's seeking, i
Speaker 6: think a four hundred thousand dollars compensation claim for the workers'
Speaker 6: comp claim, alleging he's suffering post traumatic stress disorder from
Speaker 6: a deterioration in his mental health while running the Militant
Speaker 6: Construction Union.
Speaker 9: At least we like at least they focused on deterioration
Speaker 9: of other people's physical health rather the mental health had
Speaker 9: has said to be a side effect of that.
Speaker 2: For PTSD, I thought, oh, gee, did he have to
Speaker 2: deal with the union? He was running it, that's right.
Speaker 1: How dare you call me a union thug? Word's hurt
Speaker 1: you know?
Speaker 5: Feelings to the front bag of the Canberra Times.
Speaker 4: Now, bullying still haunts Home Affairs staff at Home Affairs
Speaker 4: have again scored the department worst for bullying and harassment,
Speaker 4: with new data showing the rate of poor behavior has
Speaker 4: worse set I.
Speaker 1: Thought to.
Speaker 4: Say that, like last year, more than half of the
Speaker 4: perceived bullying went unreported, so at least Home Affairs can say, well,
Speaker 4: hang on a minute, we thought we were.
Speaker 1: Half that bad.
Speaker 4: The rest of them just took it on the nose
Speaker 4: and didn't tell us.
Speaker 5: But have come out in these.
Speaker 4: Surveys and for second place in the bullying and harassment.
Speaker 5: Stakes there's a three way.
Speaker 4: Tie Ladies and Gentlemen by the Department of Agriculture, the
Speaker 4: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Department of Veterans Affairs.
Speaker 5: They have the next highest rate of perceived bullying at
Speaker 5: twelve percent.
Speaker 3: Of their employees can I just say, unlucky for the
Speaker 3: Home Affairs Department to be on the front page of
Speaker 3: the Canberra Times for bullying where Senator Payment she pursued
Speaker 3: bump them off the front page and taken number one spot.
Speaker 6: Let's go to the town I say, just as a
Speaker 6: public service James and I feel like Australians now just
Speaker 6: two words class action John Setka and the Canberra bureaucrats.
Speaker 1: Wow, get together, lawyer up.
Speaker 6: Quite unlikely to take on the Federal Public Service and
Speaker 6: the CFMU.
Speaker 1: At the same time for their pts.
Speaker 6: For the PTSD, it just makes sense.
Speaker 2: Nothing would surprise.
Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of the Townsville bulletin
Speaker 3: Mayor's costs to hamm up ratepayers.
Speaker 2: The headline says take us for a ride.
Speaker 3: Ratepayers will be slogged them extra seventy two thousand dollars
Speaker 3: as ousted Mayor Troy Thompson, who pretty much features on
Speaker 3: the front page of the Council.
Speaker 4: I don't know what they're going to put on their
Speaker 4: front page.
Speaker 1: As a man is a media's best friend, he's putting his.
Speaker 2: Feet up for twelve months.
Speaker 3: It can be revealed now for those who aren't familiar
Speaker 3: Troy Thompson was elected mayor and then after being elected
Speaker 3: there were claims that he misled voters about his military
Speaker 3: business and university qualifications.
Speaker 2: There's currently a Crime and.
Speaker 3: Corruption Commission inquiry into those claims. The state government could
Speaker 3: have just sacked him. Instead, they've decided to suspend him
Speaker 3: for twelve months while and investigate. How can investigation take
Speaker 3: twelve months to work out whether or not he like.
Speaker 5: He lied about a lot of things.
Speaker 3: Well, it's allegations, But meanwhile Townsville ratepayers are paying for
Speaker 3: him to sit and do nothing while this investment, and
Speaker 3: they're paying.
Speaker 5: For the investigation.
Speaker 6: Maybe he's lying about how much money he's getting to
Speaker 6: do nothing. Let's go to the Gold Coast bulletin now
Speaker 6: and this is again, this is a story that's kept
Speaker 6: the nation with baited breath. The state messed up in
Speaker 6: Molly Magpie saga. Queensland's Department of Environment admits it quote
Speaker 6: made an error unquote after a bombshell court judgment set
Speaker 6: aside a special license granted to the Gold Coast Cares
Speaker 6: of Molly. The Magpie is the latest twist in the
Speaker 6: Saga of Molly, made famous on social media for its
Speaker 6: relationship with a dog named Peggy. Call me o fact,
Speaker 6: I don't believe in cross species relationships.
Speaker 2: That saga continues to unfold.
Speaker 3: We're going to go to a break. When we come back.
Speaker 3: The Trump dance taking the world by storm. We might
Speaker 3: even get Liz and Joe to do a little bit
Speaker 3: of Trump dancing.
Speaker 2: That's in a moment, all right.
Speaker 3: Well, who would have guessed that Donald Trump would be
Speaker 3: responsible for a dance craze list that's gone all around
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 4: That Donald Trump dance has become an absolute phenomenon, especially
Speaker 4: now that athletes around the world have taken to performing
Speaker 4: this after they've done something really cool on.
Speaker 5: The field or on the court. So one day taken
Speaker 5: to social media.
Speaker 4: To help out those who may not be so good
Speaker 4: at the moves, to give them a step by step
Speaker 4: play by play for one one on how to pull
Speaker 4: this off at home. Sure, I love it, I absolutely
Speaker 4: love it. That kid's got the moves. What he didn't do, though,
Speaker 4: is put his head down. Trump always puts his head down.
Speaker 4: If you want to do the authentic og, it's not
Speaker 4: staring at the camera doing the thing.
Speaker 5: You've got to put your head down and do it
Speaker 5: like this.
Speaker 6: Everybody see, okay, I just want to click that up.
Speaker 6: You've got to put your head down and do it
Speaker 6: like this.
Speaker 5: This is not an R and B song, all right?
Speaker 1: Sorry, So of the.
Speaker 6: Three times context, context is important, people, Context is important.
Speaker 6: There's nothing to do, nothing else, just encourageable. No, I'm
Speaker 6: terribly sorry. I'm going to clean up my act. No more,
Speaker 6: no more, double on tundras. This next story is about
Speaker 6: a woman who was surprised by a giant snake, and
Speaker 6: they thought I'd be the perfect person to introduce it. Yes,
Speaker 6: an Australian woman got the fight of her life. When
Speaker 6: you open a garage door an enormous carpet python, just
Speaker 6: wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
Speaker 4: I would have thought someone was pranking me. How don't
Speaker 4: you literally fly out at you like, hey, how's it going?
Speaker 2: It looks like I reckon.
Speaker 3: She knew there was a snake there, but she just
Speaker 3: didn't expect them to swing out like that. When we
Speaker 3: lived in towns Well, we got a snake coiled up
Speaker 3: in our roller door as well, so I kept going up, down, up, down,
Speaker 3: up down, trying to get it caught in the gears
Speaker 3: to kill it. But survived and so can.
Speaker 6: We mash up James going up down, up down, up
Speaker 6: down with this store going you.
Speaker 1: Just that's enough.
Speaker 4: That's a wrap from us, ladies in gentlemen. I hope
Speaker 4: the kids are in bed. We apologize for Joe Hildebrand
Speaker 4: and his explicit content.
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for your company tonight. That's all we've got
Speaker 3: time for. We'll be back tomorrow night. But stick around
Speaker 3: because coming up in just a moment is to read
Speaker 3: a Penney show.
Speaker 2: Good night
