The 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.800 Albanezi government green hydrogen dreams turn into a nightmare. 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:22.160 Adam Crichton will be. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.600 Here to discuss that. In the day's other top headlines, 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:30.880 including the West Australian Premier labeled a full great, reckless. 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.479 Attack against J D. Vans and President Donald Trump. 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.280 Army Horowitz will join me to discuss President Trump's address 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.640 to Congress and President Zelenski's backflip. 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:42.320 Later in the hour, D D. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.160 Leeby will tell you what you have to know about 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.640 the tropical cyclone Alfred and left. 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.000 He's losing. It features more than one angry woman. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.520 He's not going to be He's not going to, you know, say, oh, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.320 you're with a white guy. I'm going to keep you 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.000 from being deport No. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:00.800 You're going to pourt you and put the white guy 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.000 with someone else. The man is out there now. 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.920 We'll have the latest on President Zelenski's stunning backflip in 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.000 just a moment, But first, Australia's crime crisis is becoming 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:16.440 increasingly dire, including right here in Melbourne, where residents in 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.479 the bayside suburb of Brighton are banding together to hire 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:25.400 private security to patrol streets seven nights a week, costing 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.640 some three hundred thousand per anom. The private security push 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.520 comes after another terrifying home invasion, this time a. 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.000 Machete wielding thug. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.600 Look at the size of that machete. These thugs broke 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.200 into our family home, stole two luxury cars, a handbag, 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.440 a wallet, garage, remotes, and even the piggy bank of 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.960 a nine year old child who was left terrified by 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:51.600 the ordeal. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.800 Joining me now for more on this. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.800 As senior fellow and chief economists at the Institute of 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.960 Public Affairs, Adam Cricht and Adam all having to pay 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.760 for their own security. It should not come to that 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.720 atom in a first world city, No. 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.760 And certainly in a state and city like Victoria and 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.920 Melbourne where the tax rates are already so high, so 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.400 people are paying through the nose for public services, and 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.560 of course that should include a good police force. 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.320 But carly that is not happening in this case. 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.320 This sto is actually a little bit personal for me too, 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.040 because I just moved to Brighton and actually some of 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.400 the locals that I've been talking to there have actually 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.280 been talking about this crime spree, and at first I 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.240 didn't believe them, but. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.679 You know, the facts, the facts are now out there. 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.600 The other thing that I was already surprised about was that, 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.600 you know, this is a state that had absolutely no 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.639 shortage of policemen during the COVID crisis, where you know, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.440 you couldn't even go outside without a mask on. There 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.680 were thousands of thousands offices everywhere it looked like. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.200 So I don't think it's a lack of offices. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.000 I just think it's a lack of concern perhaps about 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.160 certain parts of Melbourne. 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.799 Oh yeah, we had elderly women on park benches being 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.000 I asked, families at the beach for. 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.600 Not being masked. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.000 There seem to be no shortage of police officers back then. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.440 Now, I want to play you some video of Peter Garrett. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.200 Of course, he disgraced himself with comments about Australia's most 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.079 successful business person. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.400 Man or woman, Gena Reinhart. 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.640 Is said to his audience at the Perth Festival, Pretend you're. 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.639 Dancing on Gena ryan Hart's grave. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.120 But he wasn't done. Yet let's listen to some of 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.520 the rant here now. 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:36.480 When I see the CEO, the Texan born CEO of Woodside, 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.520 start to gaslight the people of Western Australia by suggesting 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.240 that if you don't support and if politicians don't support 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.680 a carbon bomb on the Northwest Shelf as the oceans 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.360 are heating up and ninglu roofs going under a scott 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.600 Reefers jet jeopardized by saying that, well, in that case, 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.240 you're going to have more coal. I realized two things. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:04.880 One these people have no shame whatsoever, and secondly they're wrong, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.360 and they say the spirit and the full sightedness and 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.840 the faith in the future that people really have but 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.120 will have to fight like hell to secure it. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.400 Adam, imagine paying good money to go to a concert 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.240 hoping to hear some tracks from the eighties, you know, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.680 last time they produced anything worth listening to, and you've 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.719 got to listen to that die tribe and more. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.760 Well, look, it's probably subsidized by the West Australian taxpayers 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.840 too as well, I suspect, and of course it shouldn't 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.200 be getting a cent of that. But more broader, his 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.839 comments are just absolutely atrocious. I mean extremely juvenile, extremely 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.400 unbecoming of a former cabinet minister. I mean what he 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.360 said about Gina Reinhart is absolutely awful. She's a great Australian. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.840 She's given back so much of a time and resources 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.279 to the community. She certainly does not deserve to be 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:55.279 spoken about like that. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.560 And it's just it's sad. He's obviously seeking relevance. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.520 And I think he's just you know, he's brought shame 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.120 to that festival and I think, just as the West 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:08.239 Australian Premier said, you know, he's showing he's a sewing 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.919 rather the seeds of hatred and behaving in a highly disrespectful. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.480 Way, absolutely hateful. 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.120 And yet we haven't really heard much from the so 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.039 called sisterhood who see misogyny everywhere. Tony Abbot only needs 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.719 to look at his watch and they're up in arms 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.920 about that. There's a misogynistic but these appalling comments about 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:33.000 Gena rein Hart, Australia's most successful business person. Garrett didn't 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.760 say anything like that about Twiggy Forest or all the 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.400 other mining billionaires who happened to be male. He had 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.320 that comment about Jena Einhart, and yet we're not seeing 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.240 these loud and proud feminists coming out and saying that 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:48.440 is just so hateful. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:49.160 It's appalling. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.599 Wishing death on someone saying you should dance on their 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.280 grave is not what we should be hearing from a 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.520 former minister, federal minister. And he's seventy one too. I 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.480 mean that age you would hope you'd have some sense. Now, 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:07.479 let's hear from WA Premier Roger Cork who made some 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:12.039 ill conceived comments about Donald Trump and his vice president 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:12.880 jd Vance. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.159 This is at a pre election Q and A hosted 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:21.120 by the West Australian newspaper. Jd Vance is a knob. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.880 Sorry, you've got to have one unprofessional moment, DJA. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:32.400 That was it. 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.800 Does Donald Trump still represent a dark road for the world. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.520 Well, I certainly think he represents an uncertain one. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.880 So again, let me just say, at times of. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.559 Uncertainty, you need a steady head, experience, head at the wheel. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:50.520 He's comments on Donald Trump were, I guess a little 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.400 bit more, a little bit more sensible. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:59.119 Still, I would say ill advised. But calling jd Vance 0:06:59.120 --> 0:06:59.800 a knob. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.880 You've been really it's so idiotic. He says, it was 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.400 just a light hearted thing. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:06.400 It was a gibe. 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.400 It wasn't trying to be insulting, but if he hopes 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.120 for his state to do any business with America in 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.840 the next four years, I would say that is not 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.360 something a leader should be saying. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.400 Yeah, no, that's certainly right. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.840 I mean, just in general, I don't think state leaders 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.680 should be talking about foreign leaders or foreign policy in general. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.240 So that's the first mistake. And then I think the 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.120 second one is the word nob. I mean, it's so crass, and. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.440 You know, I don't think people could even agree on 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.080 what it means. So it's just a stupid word. It's 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.440 embarrassing and I wins as an Australian when I hear 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.320 those sort of comments about foreign leaders. Also, I think, 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.480 finally it's really disrespectful of the very large chunk of 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.640 Australians who quite like Donald Trump and who quite like 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.000 Jode Events and so basically the Western shown premier is 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.320 insulting them. So I think that there's this kind of 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.960 mindset in the political elite in this country that everyone 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.200 hates Donald Trump and that they can make these sorts 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.000 of jokes about Trump and Dvans that is totally not true, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.440 and I think they will eventually get a rude shop 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:04.160 with the ballot. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:09.440 Box and the likes of Roger Cook having a go 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:09.960 at JD. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:10.400 Van's. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.520 I mean, when you put those two men next to 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:17.080 each other, their intellect, their achievements, please you know, it's 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.640 like having an os kick kid having a go at 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.560 an AFL star. It's just a little bit, you know, 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.040 it's a little bit pathetic. But let's move on to 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:33.679 Ukrainian President Voldimir Zelenski. He's done a stunning one eighty. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.160 Just yesterday we were talking about his comments. He said 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.960 the end of the Russia Ukraine war was and I 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.959 quote very very far away, but today he wants to 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.080 end the war and sign the minerals deal with the 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:52.480 US immediately. He also said, our meeting in Washington did 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.560 not go the way it was supposed to. It is 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.320 regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:02.400 make things right. Adam, that's the understatement of the decade. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.360 Well, look, I mean I think this goes to show 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.840 you the power of Donald Trump and the US president 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.959 in general. I mean, basically, he's had to come back 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.760 to Washington begging, who's had to apologize and effect and 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.800 he's going to sign this deal, although it's not clear 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.480 I think yet whether the US now wants to sign 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.320 that deal or whether they want to change the deal. Look, look, 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:22.920 I think you know the fact that there's a push 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.000 for peace I think is great. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:24.800 That is terrific. 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.800 But I still think there's so much uncertainty on what 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.120 the Americans want, what the Russians want, and what the 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.000 Ukrainians want. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.040 Here it's very hard to say where this is going 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:33.440 to land. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.560 But I do think we all should hope that it 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.960 does land in a permanent ceasefire. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.920 Well, yeah, absolutely, we all want to see that. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.640 We want to see Ukraine get an advantageous steal, but 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.959 we want the killing and this war to stop. Before 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.600 you go, Adam, Revelations that another one of Chris Bowen's 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:57.280 climate dreams has completely crashed and burned. Ninety nine percent 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.400 of the planned one hundred billion dollar green high hydrogen 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.920 supply has failed to progress beyond the concept stage. 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.680 This is astonishing and a further blow. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.800 None of the six projects shortlisted under the Albin Easy 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:16.239 government's two billion dollar green hydrogen plan are now considered 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:17.880 viable or bankable. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.959 Financial sponsors have walked away. 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.719 Adam, We've got sixty one individual projects being quietly archived. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.240 That's a nice word to say. They've been dumped anyway 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.640 you look at it. This is a disaster and expensive disaster. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.120 It certainly is. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.520 And look, I think sensible scientists and engineers could have 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.319 said from day one that this was never going to work, 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.160 and of course many people did say that. And now 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.600 we've fritted away billions and billions of dollars on these 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.360 pipe dreams just to fill up column inches in the 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.840 newspapers so readers can feel good about themselves that they're 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.800 supporting some sort of renewable form of energy or whatever, 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.880 a low carbon energy. You know, it's all completely nonsense, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.000 and you know, it's just so sad that we've just 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.200 wasted so much money as a country on these things 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.880 when we neglect, you know, the proper and the best 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.200 sources of power that we have from fossil fuels, et 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:12.760 cetera and hopefully one day nuclear And so we've damaged 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.520 ourselves so much in doing this. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:17.160 It is. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.320 It's all self inflicted damage, very expensive self inflicted damage. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:22.360 Adam Crichton, thank you. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.200 So much for your time tonight, joining me now, is 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.240 head of advocacy at the Women's Forum Australia. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:30.160 Stephanie Bastion. 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:36.840 Stephanie, this story beggars belief. The Sydney Local Women of 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.240 the Year twenty twenty five has apparently been awarded to 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.199 a transgender woman that is essentially, well not just essentially, 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.200 it is a man who identifies as a woman. Talk 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.880 about the patriarchy is striking again. The Local Woman of 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.320 the Year awards as a new South Wales government initiative 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.680 which allows each local MP to select a woman for 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.000 their electorate to recognize with an award, and this year 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:09.600 Independent MP Alex gram Greenwich announced that Brianna Skinner was 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:15.319 his peak, praising Skinner's contribution as a proud transgender woman 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:22.240 and a fierce advocate for equality and the community. Stephanie again, like, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:26.439 it's it's almost done to provoke a response, isn't it. 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.360 You'd think so, Rita, And I think everyone now knows 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.000 that Alex Greenwich is an activist on this issue who 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.520 will do and take any opportunity to implement his social agenda. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:46.240 I think that it's absolutely ridiculous, of course, and more 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.760 importantly it undermines the awards, which I think is really 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.360 disappointing for community. 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.800 For his community these awards. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.520 Should mean something, and by making a by this decision, 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.280 he's undermined those awards. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.760 Now, steph let's turn our attention to the Sydney Mardi 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.640 Gras and this photo from the event showing a man 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.360 in a well fairly bold strip of boots. I think 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.640 they're called they're pretending to spear a man dressed as 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.760 Jesus in fishnet stockings. 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.120 I mean this has understandably. 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.400 Stirred up some controversy, Stephanie, what are your thoughts? 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:28.360 Well, a couple of. 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.360 Weeks ago, a man in Wa was fined two thousand 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.760 dollars and ordered to pay for the five thousand dollars 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.880 in compensation for building a river a bridge over his 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.800 private creek on his private property because he disturbed the rainbow, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:48.160 serpent and mythological aboriginal creature. Meanwhile, in New South Wales 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.880 you can mock Christianity. Here we have an aboriginal man 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.360 in kinky boots mocking Christ at the taxpayer's expense. I 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.440 think it shows a great double standard from the so 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.439 called diversion and inclusive crowd. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:03.800 But there are greater issues. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.880 I think with Marty Gras, there was full nudity on display, 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.240 there were sexual fetishes on display, and there was a 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:14.280 blatant promotion of gender ideology, which is extremely harmful to kids. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.600 So I actually question the MPs who turned up cheering 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.680 and supporting this event, particularly Prime Minister Albanezi and the 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.240 New Southeld's Premier Christmans, because this is not appropriate for children. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.360 Marty Gras is a radical political movement. It is not 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.200 family friendly at all and quite frankly, it should be defunded. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.880 Well it is, and I've heard this commentary from members 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.440 of the gay community saying that he has become so pilarticized, 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.000 it's become so hard left that it is it's an 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.040 activist event masquerading as again in lesbian Marty Gras. That 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.280 seems to almost be an afterthought. It's all about the activism. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.080 That's why they don't like to have anybody who's even 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.600 remotely on the other side of politics, because it's not 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:06.120 about celebrating people who identify as gain lesbian. It's about 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:10.760 just pushing this hard left agenda and at taxpayers expense. Now, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.000 I'm sure you'll remember this, we discussed it on this program. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.960 This comment from Federal Health Minister Mark Butler. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:21.360 What is slabor's position on trans participation in professions. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.800 Well, I'll have a go. Katie might want to add 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:28.720 to this, but this is not an issue in Australia. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:33.320 We're very clear legal provisions in the Sex Discrimination Act, 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:38.040 Section forty two says that sporting codes are able to 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:46.600 put in place measures to ensure that particular sporting competitions 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.160 reserved for in this case, the case you're referring to biological. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.360 Women, well, it actually is an issue for a number 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:59.240 of reasons. And Steph, you posted this ad Victorian Labor 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:00.600 produced share. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:01.320 Let's have a quick look. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.560 So on the one hand, they say this isn't an issue, 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:18.200 it's not happening, but then they're producing ads saying it's 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.320 wonderful that it's happening, it should happen more. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.840 I know that it's absolutely ridiculous. And while you can 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.320 criticize the liberals for their inaction, Labor is actually responsible 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.040 for the confusion because prior to the twenty thirteen amendments, 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.840 where Julia Gillard amended the Sex Discrimination Act to remove 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.600 the definition of woman and to include gender identity, state 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.200 labor governments across the country from as early as two 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.760 thousand and three introduced gender identity as a protected attribute 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.360 under their sex discrimination Acts. 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:51.440 Now, a lot of. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.360 These issues, particularly in community sport at a state level, 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.400 will go through state courts. There is a clear conflict 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.080 between state legislation and the Federal Act when it comes 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.800 to protecting women's sport. Here the Labor government has used 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:12.160 AFLW a clear example where stamina and strength would be 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.600 in contradiction to the so called protections in the Federal Act, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.199 where it mentions those as legitimate reasons to discriminate. So 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.280 we actually need clarification. We need Peter Dutton and Anthony 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.840 Abernezi to have a policy on this or a commitment 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.280 to support Claire Chandler's Save Women's Sports bill, because the 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:31.600 issue is clearly there. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.480 It is and Donald Trump has put it firmly on 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:41.359 their agenda. But even in the States, the Republican bill 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.399 to keep men out of women's sport was blocked in 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.960 the Senate after not having a single Democrat senator voting 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.840 for it. This is incredible because we've got around eighty 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.240 percent of Americans being in support of keeping women's sport 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.440 for biological women, even the majority of Democrats sixty seven 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.639 percent of day Democrats support that, that's according to the 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.879 New York Times, and yet the Democrat politicians refused to 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:07.680 vote for it. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.359 Not a single Democrat and a United States Senate voted 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.760 to keep biological men out of women's sports. Not a 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.320 single one of these guys. So congratulations all of you. 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.720 You are with the eighteen percent who support that position. 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:22.800 According to the New York. 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:23.639 Times, incredible. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.720 The Protection of Women and Girls in Sport Act needed 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.879 sixty votes to clear the Senate's legislative a filibuster, but 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.080 it got only fifty one because Steph, as you heard, 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.000 they're not a single Democrat backed it. 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.080 Look, the Democrats are out of touch with their base, 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:43.879 they're out of touch with voters, and they're out of 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.280 touch with women. It's an absolute shame that they cannot 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.679 see common sense to protect women in sport. 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:52.000 I mean, if you have. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:53.960 A look at the issues that are coming out of America, 0:18:54.240 --> 0:19:01.560 the injuries in volleyball and total the total discrimination and swimming. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.240 I mean, they are just so ideological on this issue, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.720 and I think they should be looking into their party 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.040 to see why, why will they not show common sense 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.760 on this issue. The tide has turned Donald Trump and 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.560 the Republicans won with a clear mandate to change this issue. 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:18.840 It just doesn't make sense. 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.040 It was certainly an election issue, and the polling after 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.960 the election showed that it was one of the top 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.520 three issues, and for independent voters is actually was the 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:31.439 number one issues. 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:33.119 These things aren't French. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.400 People care about this, people care about fairness. And Sephanie Bastian, 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.240 we always enjoy having you on the program advocating for 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:42.440 women and girls. 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:43.200 Thanks for your time. 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.399 Still to come Lefties Losing It, Plus we dissect the 0:19:47.480 --> 0:20:01.960 highlights of Trump's congressional address. Mihrowitz joins me. Next, you're 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.960 watching the Reader Paney Show, and it's time for Lefties 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.800 Losing It and good news. I have a view extravaganza 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:13.280 coming up. But first let's hear from the view's target audience. 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:17.679 You know, those angry, ill informed caarents. This one is 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:19.280 particularly Matt. 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:24.160 They brought Sealin Skin to the Oval office and attacked him. 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:33.359 And ask people who are celebrating home, you every one of. 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:37.600 You not actually what happened, but you know facts aren't 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.080 important to the left, as you'll see in the next 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:40.760 few clips. 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:42.840 Because it's time to check. 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:46.120 In with the dangerously delusional ladies of the View, and 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.960 I regret to inform you they are increasing in number. 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.280 You think about journalists, you think about the reason they're 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:53.960 in the press briefing, when you think about the reason 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.800 they're in the pool, it's called the protective pool. They're 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:57.359 thirteen members of the pool are trying not to get 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:01.640 to wonky here, and their job is to provide unbiased 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.560 information to the American people because of the American people 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:06.280 deserve that. 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.639 Yes, that's former White House Press secretary and professional liar 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.200 Kareein John Pierre. 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.560 At the View on the View desk. 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.720 I wonder is that a little bit of an audition 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.560 as for the American people deserving the truth? 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:22.560 You think we've forgotten this. 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.960 I've spent sometimes countless hours with him, whether it's on 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.199 the Oval office, whether it's on the road, And I 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:32.800 believe for me, you're asking me my personal opinion. 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:34.240 He is sharpe. 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:36.160 He is on top of things. 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:40.240 Sharp and on top of things. Yeah, cool story, bro. 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.880 And she repeated that liar and approximately five thousand times 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.520 in recent years. But Karein has some ways to go 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:52.119 to reach the derangement levels needed for a full time 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:53.720 gig on the View. 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.680 As a co host, can she reach that pinnacle? 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.480 The pinnacle set by Say Whoopee also known as Karen Johnson, 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.720 Yes that's her real name. Here is Karen claiming that 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:07.439 Donald Trump is going to break up the marriages of 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:08.760
