WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 11 June 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:05.120 Lateens General, Welcome to the Late Debates. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.440 Good evening and welcome to the program. I'm Caleb Bond 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:15.000 with Liztora and Joe hildebrand Well. Electric vehicles may not 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.520 be the great environmental panaser. Who would have thought it, 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.279 But one university has a solution. Will tell you what 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.800 it is later in the show when we get into 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:28.040 the papers, will tell you the Australian suburb whose tapwater 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.279 has the most cancer causing chemicals in the country. And 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:36.800 two Russian women have been arrested on suspicion of murder. 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.479 The reason they allegedly murdered this man will shock you. 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.000 But first over at VIC Rhodes, it's been a case 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.200 of wrong way go back because they've looked at all 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.000 the regio renewal notices they have sent out for the 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:53.280 next financial year. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:53.960 So these are. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.720 People whose regio are due in July and onwards, and 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.480 they've worked out that one hundred and eighty thud thousand 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.759 people have been undercharged and they are threatening that if 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.720 you don't pay up the extra money they want from you, 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.000 your car is going to be unregistered. Now, basically what 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.600 happened was they were sitting there at VIC Rhodes, and 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.679 of course, you know, we know, bureaucrats have got nothing 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.640 better to do than not look at the work in 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.680 front of them, so they just hit the button that 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.560 sent off the regio renewal notices, which in Victoria usually 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.840 come by email. What they failed to do was add 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.280 on the price hike that comes for the new financial year, 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.880 which is three point four percent. So people have received 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.360 their renewal notice and gone, you see that looks like 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.000 the same amount it was for the last three months. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.200 They've paid it, assuming that from July onwards their car 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.240 will continue to be registered. But the Transport Department says, no, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.880 we actually want more money from you. People who got 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.080 the email saying we need more money or your car 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.760 is not going to be registered, they thought it was 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.200 a scam. One motorist was quoted in the Herald sound 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.559 Is saying there are so many dodgy emails and texts 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.600 going around and then I got one from VIC Rhodes 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.320 saying they want me to pay more. And you can 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.440 understand why you would read that and go, hang on 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.280 a minute, this smells a little bit. Vic rhads itself 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:18.000 has said incorrect pressing on registration renewal notices was recently 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.000 sent to some customers. This has now been fixed, but 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:25.000 we apologize for any inconvenience. Cause now I'm sorry Joe. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.160 If Roads sends you. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.720 A renewal notice and you pay the amount was written 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.520 on the renewal notice, you know, tough titties. If they 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.560 didn't put the right amount of money on it, you 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.440 paid it. You deserve to get what you paid all 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:39.080 week money. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.760 Let's just have it so that it's fair for both parties. 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.280 I'm going to give VIC Rhodes what I think I 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.960 owe them, and then if they complained that it's not enough, 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.080 oh no, I'm sorry, but that was what I felt 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.680 that you were entitled to pay. This is just this 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.200 is phenomenal. So just to recap, just to put this 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.240 in context, we are in the middle of a cost 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:03.160 of living crisis. The Victorian government is jacking up the 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:07.200 price of its registrations to help fill the budget black 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:12.120 hole caused by all its COVID lockdowns. It then forgets 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:17.360 that it's actually doing this savage, just out of control 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.840 cash grab, sends it for the previous amount, and then 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:25.079 has to remind almost two hundred thousand people that it's 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:30.280 actually charging them more, and that this then gets interpreted 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:36.680 by said people as so hopelessly, transparently incompetent and such 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.720 a malicious, bare face, shameless cash grab that it must 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.640 be a scam from a Nigerian prince. This is the 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.920 level we have gotten to in the People's Republic and 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.600 it is just unbelievable. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.800 I'll tell you. Registration in Victoria is extortionate. I've had 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.240 a car registered in Victoria. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.560 You can't be worse than New South What minds you 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.760 to this state? I seriously, it gave me. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:12.360 Anxiety, the ridiculous system. Seriously, if New South Walians, yes, 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.160 that is a term, because I keep using it. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.520 And you have a winning idea. How straightforward this is. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.960 In my home state of Western Australia, it would curl 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:26.960 your hair. No pink slip, green slip, blue slip nonsense. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.800 You just pay your red Joe and included in that 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.720 is your comprehensive insurance and none of this all the 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.000 colors of the rainbow jolly slips. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.880 You again, forget different. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.920 Things from green slip mechanic. He's going to grease. I 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:44.880 don't know if he's coming back. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.200 It is a cash strap. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.400 He just made up the most complex system that they 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:56.440 possibly can, so New South Wales can pocket all this rubbish. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.839 Rubbish. You're raising money on rubbish. A pink slip. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.600 Now you need a blue slip, the green slip. Yeah, okay, 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.240 that one's needed. But just call it what it is instead. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.840 Of at least to South Wales they rip you off 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:09.400 to your face. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:15.919 True, but they have a slip. It's called that we 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.200 got it wrong slip here it is coming under your door, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.000 please pay us more money. I don't know how they 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.880 can legitimately get away with this because if your sension, 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.400 if you perform a job for someone, or someone performs 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.039 a job for you, and they send you the invoice, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.920 and the invoice is it's payable by this date. It's 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.919 two thousand dollars to have your plumbing done. Right, you 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.800 pay the two thousand dollars to your plumber. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:41.880 Okay, that's a good deal. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.960 Argument, It is a good deal. But for argument's sake, right, 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.200 then the plumber comes back to you a month later 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.280 and oh, sorry, mate, I undercharge you for that. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:53.880 Yeast. 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.160 The government, the government can just say, oh, we got 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:58.920 it wrong, we want to charge you more money. 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:03.640 Is firstly a ginormous bungle that they have not given 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.000 any explanation for not that we need one. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.799 It's government. We know that you're incompetent. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.400 Above all else, but you wouldn't think that in the 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.120 middle of a cost of living crisis. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.920 You just save face. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.120 And be like, you know what, I just thought you 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.960 wo'd help you guys out. 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.000 In the message explaining how much they've stuffed it up, 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.000 they almost try to get some credit by fixing the 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.920 screw up that they did in the first but they say, 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.560 you know, incorrect pricing and registers was recently sent some 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.239 cases this has now been fixed. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:34.400 Well done. 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:41.480 You store in Australia, if something is unclearly priced, you 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.120 are more than entitled to buy it for the. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.320 Lower price or to steal it again. If you've invoiced 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:48.880 me twice. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.200 Just take that. 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.000 Surely I'm under Do you remember to cough up the rest? 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:58.440 Do you remember when they first introduced the scanners and 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.360 everyone said, oh, those to check out scanners. 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:02.920 They're never going to work. That's a rip off. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.520 It's never going to catch on. We need to check 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.960 out chicks and all the supermarkets said, you know what 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.240 if it scans the wrong price. Every says, how do 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.120 we know it's the right price. They said, it scans 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.760 the wrong price, and it's less. That's it. That's yours 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:15.360 for that price. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:15.760 That's it. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.840 If it doesn't scan properly or whatever, it's yours for free. 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:20.000 What happened to that? 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.680 Try to try not know about that? 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:23.240 Yeah, they said it everywhere. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.840 I'm literally just going to camp out in the self 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.520 serve checkouts now and every time someone puts their hand 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.400 up because another one of those babies is malfunctioning, I 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.880 will just be like, did you know they promise this 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:34.559 would be free? 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.520 Because it's just stuffing up in. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.320 Human Rights Warrior moving on now. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:43.120 Too, Yes, no, I am. I love this stuff. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.080 Did you know that if a store has their policy saying, oh, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:51.040 after thirty days you can't return this, or it's on sale, 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:56.040 you can't return this. Both those things are complete bogus. 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.760 Ladies, especially tune in. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.760 If you were in the Consumer Watch, I would be. 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.600 Checking more than thirty days, literally, and I've never lost 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.840 once when I go to the counter and I say, look, 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.720 I understand that's what you're taught. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.440 To say, and that's your store policy. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.360 But according to Australian consumer law, you've got to give 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.040 me my money back because I'm bringing your product back. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.760 End of the manager refunds you every single time because they. 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.080 Know you're right. But to more fury. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:27.960 Now in the state of Victoria, this one is truly unbelievable. So, 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.920 as we all know, we have concurrent crises unfolding, the 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.840 housing crisis, the cost of living crisis. So what has 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:41.280 the Victorian government decided to do in the middle of 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:47.040 these rolling out making everyone bleed, landlords can barely breathe 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.920 as it is, with inflation, with interest rates. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.840 Well, the Victorian government has. 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:57.000 Gotten together and said we're going to make new minimal 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:04.000 rental standards relating to energy efficiency across the state. What 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.800 does this mean, do you ask, Well, it means that 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.200 landlords will be forced to fork out an eye watering 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:15.120 amount of money in the name of the state's climate communism. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.920 Get this, this is what landlords will be stuck doing 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.560 if this goes ahead. They've made the proposal, and we 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.320 know what proposals turn into. It will include things such 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.760 as installing sealing installation where none exists, draft proving with 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.679 weather seals on all external doors, four star shower heads 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.000 in all showers, new electric hot water systems, and three 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.600 star efficiency calling for systems in the main living area. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.960 At this rate, renters are going to be living in 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.760 better homes than the poor mom and dad investors who 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.040 actually bought the thing in the first place, hoping to 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.320 get a little bitter head in life. Now, the state 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.440 government estimates that this will save renters five hundred and 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:02.280 sixty seven dollars a year off their energy bills. But 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.280 where is the sense in this when by putting this 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.600 on landlords, you're going to be bumping up the price 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.439 of rent, aren't you. And I guarantee that whatever these 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.200 people would save on their energy bills per year, they'll 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.080 more than make up for because if the landlord's got 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.120 to fork out that much for all these bells and 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:28.000 whistles to make the climate communism party happy, then it's 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.960 going to be reflected in what people are charged to. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.520 Rent the home. Someone explained this to me. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.800 I don't I don't think. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.720 While I don't agree with you that everything is communist, 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.960 I think in this case we are getting perilously close 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.400 to it because these guys just say. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.400 Understand. 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.319 That everything is common. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.079 Try to agree. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.360 Tell me how this isn't Because. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:59.200 I think this is really problematic. It sounds to you 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.719 with my own proper that's right. How I've agree with 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.199 you you. 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.600 So tell me how isn't it rather communisty that a 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.760 government now takes it upon itself to say, because we 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.960 believe that the world I've. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.920 Just said, I feel it right, that's what I'm trying 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:16.480 to say. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.080 You're right, get onto the community. 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.560 It won't be Obviously, people do not get into the 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.960 rental market. People do not buy investment properties to lose money, right. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.080 That's something that communists do not understand, which is how 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.440 capitalism works. And so therefore they are going to do 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.000 one of two things. If these costs are imposed on them, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.880 they will either a pass them on to renters. As 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.719 you say, of course, they will simply say, well, it's 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.720 not worth my it's not worth my while I'm going 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.880 to sell the property, which might be good news for homeowners, 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.800 but at the moment, the homeowning crisis is on the 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.800 back burner because we have a rental crisis that is 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.520 far more acute and people literally not being able to 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.360 get a roof over their heads. So either it increases 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.680 the cost of renting, or it deprives the rental market 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.800 of a potential property. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.600 And it is just absolutely. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.160 It's a lose if we may indulge, if we may 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.920 indulge in in a short musical interlude, if I were 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.160 a landlord in Victoria, this is how I would be 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:18.880 feeling right now. And I am a landlord, but not 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.280 in Victoria, thank god. And this is exactly what landlords 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.520 are saying. I mean they're saying. You know, this is 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.240 one landlord who quoted in the Herald son I reckon 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.760 a mass exodus by landlords is coming from the rental market. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.679 They are making a serious rental problem. Even worse, the 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.120 timing is appalling. And this is the problem is there's 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.840 been this argument from the Greens in particular, and obviously 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.160 this is a labor government, but the Greens argue we've 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.880 got to have rental caps and all this sort of 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.199 stuff because you know, all the evil landlords. The vast 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.560 majority of rental sorry, the vast majority of landlords in 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.800 this country are mum and dad investors. They have fewer 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.679 than three properties, and they also own the majority of 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.960 mental properties within the country. So if you do things 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.440 around the edges to say, okay, we don't want these 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.440 evil people owning rental properties. They either have to cop 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.200 the increased cost, which they don't. As Joe said, it 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.079 goes on to the renter, which is the last thing 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.600 the renters need right now, or as you said, they 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.080 sell it now. When you sell a property right now, 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.920 the property is worth a fair bit of money. That's 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.559 the market we're living in, which means that a lot 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.440 of people who are currently renting. Let's say the person 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.800 who is currently living in that rental property probably doesn't 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.480 have enough money to stump up a deposit. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:34.720 To buy it. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.880 So who do you think comes in and buys that 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.240 one bedroom unit in the city that this person bought 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:47.240 as an investment Another investor, except that investor has lots 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.120 of money because they can cop the increase in the 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.600 cost of running the thing. So what you do is 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.439 concentrate the number of landlords down from your average mum 0:13:56.480 --> 0:14:01.560 and dad investor to big investors. Happens is the communists 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.160 actually end up supporting big business because the only person 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:06.920 who will be able to be a landlord in this 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.360 country is someone who has shed loads of money, and 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.800 funnily enough, many of them profess to be close enough 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:13.840 to communists because they will. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.800 Vote for the Greens well, plenty of Green's VMPs own 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.800 mouthful investment properties. It's always a global to reveal. But yeah, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.000 perhaps side. But more to the point, what people do 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.400 not understand, what people who believe in a command economy 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.840 simply do not understand, is that the economy doesn't do 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.080 what you tell it to. You can't just order the 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:32.000 economy to do something. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:32.480 I'll do it. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.120 And this is a perfect example. Rental caps are another example. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.640 You can't put a gun to someone's head and say right, 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.680 be an investment property owner because people will look at 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.240 all these If you want more of something, you make 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.840 it more attractive for people to invest in it, not 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.680 less attractive. So you make it easier for people to 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.120 get into the investment property market and easier for them 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.640 to rent it out, and that will create more people 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.320 investing in the property market, whether they're big or small investors, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.400 and it will create more investment properties. If you make 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.640 it harder, put things like rental caps, rental freezers, you know, 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.320 forcing people to put in capital works to make it 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.120 more climate friendly, people will say, you know what, I'm 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:11.680 just going to put my money out as well, and 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.720 it might not even be and then another investment property 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.720 owner coming in. It might be another homeowner, in which 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.200 case that house gets taken over the market. And the 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.920 people who would otherwise invest in property, which would provide 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.520 more properties to the rental market, We'll say, I'm just 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.000 going to invest in something else. Ilp CBA News Court 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.280 my new podcast, The Real. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.760 Story with Joe Wants Shavelss. 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.520 I love it, But how is it that average Joe's 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.520 literally yes, I. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.480 Know this is a new memoir. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.840 By the way, it's so obvious, right, and yet our 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.400 own government who's running the place, just seems hell bent 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.600 on ruining the place. I mean, at such a time 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.480 as this, you honestly think that the best state of 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.800 play is to bankrupt landlords golf clap for you, government, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:00.280 You've simply. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:00.760 Got to be a hit. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:02.800 This is what the left. This is what the left 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.480 does when they look at these things. So they'll look 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.960 at things, and they will look at the starts, and 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.760 they'll look at all these investment property owners and say, 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.840 all right, but they've got all these people here, and 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:11.760 if we just make them do this with the stroke 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.200 of a pen, we'll deliver all this pile of money 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:15.880 over here. And then we'll make a rule say that 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.360 they can't job. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.160 To see the domino effects before. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.360 I don't understand if they don't understand human behavior, they 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.680 don't understand that they don't understand respect individual behavior and 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.320 how those kind of what Paul keating One's famously called 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.440 animal forces influenced the market. But the bottom bottom line 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.480 is if your own car in Victoria, you're screw and 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.440 if you own a house in Victoria, you're screwed. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.240 Even a few months ago that we were talking about 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.840 that patch in Victoria which had decided that every rooftop 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:45.520 now had to be white. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.720 Oh, I think actually, I think it was a climate 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.160 and it was one of the South Australia as well, 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.920 where they've manned and you can't have dark rus. And 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.040 that's not to mention that the landtek situation of Victoria 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.360 at the moment as well, which is just out of control. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.080 I know people who have property and the money they're 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:07.040 asking for has gone through the roof and everything's everything's racist. Well, 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.480 And if I were a renter in Victoria and my 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.760 landlord was told that they had to put a four 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.919 star shower head in my rental property, I'd be really 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.600 peeved because four star shower head is code for one 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.240 of those things with you know, the lowercal low meter 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.160 in it, so it literally just trickles. I don't want that. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.920 I want a shower head that actually works. While we're 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.760 on matters of the climate, let's talk about electric vehicles. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.480 I know you love talking about electric vehicles. I love 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.600 talking about electric vehicles because we hate them. And once again, 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:42.240 another study has proven exactly this. Now the study comes 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.560 to an interesting conclusion, which I will get to in 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.000 a minute, but what they're basically suggesting, this is from 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.560 Monash University's Climate Work Center, is that if we want 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.280 to reach our twenty thirty emissions targets, which of course 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.840 Peter Dutton has said if he was Prime Minister he 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.560 would scrap and ignore. If we want to reach that target, 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:06.240 we need seventy three percent of all new vehicles sold 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.480 in this country by twenty thirty to be electric. Now 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.600 that is simply not going to happen. And I will 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.960 remind you that the federal government, before it was the 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.919 federal government when it was still in opposition, forecast in 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.720 order to boost its likelihood of reaching these twenty thirty targets, 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.000 that eighty nine percent of vehicles sold in this country 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.359 by twenty thirty would be electric. The Federal Transport Department 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.439 now says it will be something like twenty seven percent, 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.160 So they're kind of losing out on that. If we 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.479 had just fifty six percent of vehicles sold in this 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:43.840 country being electric by twenty thirty, we would still miss 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:48.880 our transport emission goals by twenty one percent. I mean 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.320 you might look at that. I look at that and go, well, 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.920 surely that means that the target is just a load 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.119 of bunker. It's never going to happen. Well, Monash University 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.680 says there is another solution, which is basically, give up 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.639 your car entirely. If we can't have evs, just don't 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:08.040 drive at all. They have suggested that you basically we're 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.600 putting all our eggs in one basket talking about EV's, 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.119 And the problem is not so much that you know, 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.120 we should be moving to EV's, which means you keep 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.359 driving as much as you are now. No no, no, no, no 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.080 no no. It's much more complex than that. Get rid 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.520 of your car, get on public transport. Don't get on 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.320 a plane, they say, use a train instead. Don't use 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.160 a truck to transport cars, transport coupble cars, as well, 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.160 but cars and food and whatever around the country use 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.960 rail instead, Isn't it funny? This is where we're going. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:39.359 You know. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.000 EV's are a great idea, fantastic if our middle panasa. 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:44.680 Now they worked out that ain't going to work. So 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.439 why do we need cars at all? Just get on 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:48.760 the bus, you bludge. 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.600 Well, this is straight out of the climate communism handbook 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.399 that Joe doesn't sound. 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:00.800 We've constantly got proof of it staring at our faces. 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:06.200 But look, the EV takeup has slowed very fast here 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.400 in Australia. In April for the first time in over 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.800 three years, it was down just five percent. Now that's 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.000 not huge, but they're predicting that this is just going 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.840 to keep tanking. Tesla alone also in April their sales 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.479 were down by forty four percent. 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.240 And this is Twitter. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.640 It's not the virtue signals. Oh my god. 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:33.560
