WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 13 May 0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:04.720 On scorids Australia. 0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.040 This is the Reader Panalty Show. 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:11.560 Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panety Show. Coming 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.160 up tonight. Tax revenue and jobs under threat as mining 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.200 and gas executives warn the Albanesi government that red, black 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.840 and green tape are jeopardizing investment in the sector. Professor 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.680 I Plymer will join me shortly to discuss that crucial issue. 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.600 Elon Musk and X have a big win against the 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:34.320 Safety Commissioner in the Federal Court. Australia's Jewish community speaks 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.880 out against the Albanesi government's betrayal at the UN. Doctor 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.640 Colin Rubinstein joins me later in the hour, and why 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:47.120 is Prince Harry reportedly crying Kinsey's schofield with the latest 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.640 celebrity and royal news and talking about left is losing it? 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:56.720 Tonight we feature a Eurovision extravaganza, including this little communist 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:57.680 doom goblin. 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.800 Yeah, to show that I think it is outrageous and 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:07.120 inexcusable for Eurovision to let Israel participates while committing a genocide. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.720 Let's bring in Sky News contributor Pro McSwain. Prout's starting 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:16.240 to see Greta so effortlessly go from science expert to 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.080 Middle East expert while wagging years of school. She really 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.319 is quite an impressive young woman. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.200 She just sort of comes out of the woodwork and 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.680 lay's claim to know everything about everything, when in fact 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:37.120 she's totally unemployable, she's got questionable intelligence, and she's just 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.960 she is a goblin. She's a bloody public nuisance. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:46.640 Absolutely well, you know what. I would ignore her input, 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.800 except she has such a profound influence on young people, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.400 and we've seen so many young people suffering from things 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.280 called climate anxiety. Now people are in treatment. I've spoken 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.960 to psychologists on this program who are dealing with these 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.120 traumatized kids who've been convinced by the likes of Greta 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.280 that the world's ending and they have no future and 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:14.800 that they're experiencing all this trauma unnecessarily. So we do 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.240 have to pay attention to what she's up to. But 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.720 let's talk about a significant win today for Elon Musk 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.959 and X at the Federal Court where a temporary order 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.519 by Australia's East Safety Commissioner Julie mon Grant to block 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.800 Australians from viewing footage of the alleged terrorist stabbing attack 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:36.200 of Sydney Bishop mar Mari Emmanuel that has now been 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.800 refused through this request from the ET Safety Commissioner wasn't 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.280 just blocking Australians. This was wanting the footage to have 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:50.080 be banned globally at takedown order with global implications, which 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.640 is absurd. The power trip this woman must be on. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:03:00.840 Barrister Brett Walker, representing X, told the court that the 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.840 reasons supplied by these Safety Commissioner to support this takedown 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.240 order looked informal under the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act, and 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.520 he also said there are strong reasons to doubt the 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:21.240 validity of the notice. This is again it shocks me 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:26.040 that so many in the media are enthusiastically supporting what 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.919 amounts to censorship here. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.359 Well, this is the problem. It's a huge play by 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.480 this government we're seeing in South Australia as well where 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.320 they want to control everything we see, read and hear. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.720 And I am so glad that this judge has knocked 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:48.160 this out of the park. This woman, Julian mcgrant, has 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.640 vendetta as we know against Twitter, which is was a 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.720 former employer, and the fact that she was going to 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.040 try and impose her views on the world and that's 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.720 what it would would have happened, as the judge said, 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.360 was totally insane. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:10.080 Oh absolutely, And as Elon Musk himself pointed out a 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.000 couple of weeks ago, you could have any government anywhere 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.640 in the world have a similar order requesting footage to 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.679 be taken down, and every country would have to abide 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.039 by it. If if this set some sort of a precedent, 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.280 I mean, that's just madness. And we should also point out, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.280 as it was pointed out in court, that the alleged 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:34.920 victim in all this, the Bishop Emmanuel, doesn't want this 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.800 footage to be banned from social media or from X 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.320 so that was also something that was mentioned in court. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:48.520 Throu South Australian Premier Peter Malanascus has announced his government 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.039 is examining a ban on children under the age of 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.240 fourteen from having social media accounts. He posted this on 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.880 social media side X this nation leading move, we'll see. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.719 Former Chief Justice of the High Court, Robert french ac 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.719 tasks with examining the legal, regulatory and technological pathways for 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.920 the state government to impose a ban while also giving 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:18.320 due consideration to the constitutional framework. Two things here pro One, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.919 it sounds unenforceable. I don't know how they're going to 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.960 enforce this for kids who can run rings around all 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.360 of us when it comes to social media and technology. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.720 And two, shouldn't this be a parental decision as opposed 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:34.720 to a government one? 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.440 Well, these are the grand gestures that labor loves to make. 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.040 And as you say, it's totally unenforceable, how can they 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.760 possibly do it? And secondly, we are sick of parents 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.560 being disempowered. I mean, we have this situation where we 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:57.200 are seeing kids, you know, boasting and posting fights and 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.840 things like that at school. And part of the problem 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:04.520 is that teachers are not allowed to a discipline children 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.839 anymore and supervise them to the extent that when I 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.919 was going to school, I mean I would never have 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.840 dared do something like this. So we have parents disempowered. 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.440 They can't complain about the fact that there's no discipline. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.960 And rules in schools. 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.360 And we have, you know, this nanny state situation where 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.640 the politicians sing they can go into a kid's bedroom 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.960 and tell them and determine what they can and cannot watch. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.599 I mean, it's not going to happen. We do know 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.200 that social media has very dangerous implications when it comes 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.360 to young minds. We've witnessed that with radicalized kids, et cetera. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.320 But in the end, it's up to the parents to 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.919 impose restrictions on their kids instead of trying to be 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:49.920 a friend with your kid. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:51.720 Take the phone away. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.560 If they're going into their bedroom at night, they do 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.480 not need their device with them for goodness sake. So 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.360 you know, parents need to start guarranting. 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.600 Absolutely, And I wouldn't be against having some sort of 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:10.040 a ban in schools, in class and lunchtime and recess. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.160 Just if you're in school, you don't have your phone 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.880 unless it's some sort of an emergency. I think that 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.200 that would be widely supported and that's something you could 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.840 actually enforce. But yeah, what they're talking about here, I 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.400 think is fantasy land. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:25.240 Now. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.120 It's taken a while, but finally some acknowledgment that the 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.680 way Victoria police treated anti lockdown and vaccine mandate protests 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:38.520 during COVID was a violent use of excessive face. In 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.120 the County Court, Judge Liz gain Or ruled police were 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:46.240 the aggressors during an anti lockdown protest in May twenty 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.920 twenty one, and in her singing judgment, the judge ruled 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.080 the arrests were unlawful, and she called the response from 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:59.240 the police immediate and violent, saying I'm satisfied that police 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:04.960 were they dresses in the situation and they employed unjustified 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.760 violence prove there are now calls for the police to 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:14.120 be perhaps investigated and charged, and I think we're going 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.360 to hear a lot more about these because these cases 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.720 are now finally before the courts and the evidence is 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.200 being examined, including bodycam footage. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.640 Well, I'm not an apologist for the police, and I 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.840 think they have totally overstepped the mark and they were 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.240 aggressive and incredibly violent. But we have to point the 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.440 finger at Andrew's, the premiere, because you know, it's a 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:43.040 psychological thing almost that he empowered them. He was ruling 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.839 that state with an unreasonable iron hand. He was demanding 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:52.560 measures that were absolutely an infringement on people's human rights. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:58.240 And I suspect because the police force in Victoria was 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:04.040 and still remains a very big political arm of the 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.040 premiers of the state, and you know they have been 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:12.439 were empowered by Andrews to do this in aggressive enforcement. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.280 So he's to me as culpable as the police who 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.360 did seriously overstep the mark. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:25.400 Oh absolutely, we need a Royal Commission with everybody to 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.560 answer questions, including the state premieres. Now the budget. You're 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.520 not going to escape a budget question, Peru. I know 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.480 you thought you were going to, but it's tomorrow night. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:38.960 And the Australian Financial Review notes that Treasurer Jim Chalmers 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.959 is breaking from the market based economic model favored by 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.560 the Hawk and Keating governments that help deliver years of 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.719 national prosperity. John Kio rights, Jim Chalmers is ripping up 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:55.080 the economic textbook, the labor Treasury is embracing a bigger 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.400 role for government to direct capital and allocate resources. But 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.280 prou how can a government that, let's be frank here 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:09.280 has next to zero business experience pick out winning projects 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.680 to back with our money. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.760 Well, we've already seen that they are totally inept at it. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.440 When with this future made in Australia and we have, 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.480 you know, the one billion dollars into the solar panels, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.600 when we know there's a glut of solar panels and 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.679 that China and many other countries can produce the much 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.079 cheaper than we we could possibly ever do. And then 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.520 we've got this very questionable tendering process over the quantum 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:42.520 the pair Zi quantum allocation of another billion dollars. I mean, 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.120 they're not they're not demonstrating that they have any prowess 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.320 at doing this. And as you say, I mean, Charmers 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.559 and Co. Have never had any business experience. They don't 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:58.600 understand market forces. Keating and Hawk certainly did. And that's 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:04.360 where this country was, you know, really reinvigorated. And these fools, 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.920 these arrogant fools, who think that they are going to 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.520 be able to pick the winners with our money and 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.560 with of course the union power of the super fun money, 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.720 which you know, got to help all these people who 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.200 are in industry funds because your money is going to 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.800 be invested in loser businesses and this country is going 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.840 to go down the toilet. And he keeps saying, Charmers 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:26.640 that he knows. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.040 Better than the. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.840 RBA that we are going to have inflation down to 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.840 two or three percent by Christmas. 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.040 Give us a break. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.240 I mean, the man is you know, he did work 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.800 for Wayne Swan was into the universe's greatest treasure, and 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.320 he never ever produced a surplus. And this is the 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.680 guy who worked for him. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.319 So God help Australia. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.199 Is all I can say. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.600 Yeah, I think Wayne Swan promised US four surpluses, but 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.880 I don't think he actually delivered one at all. 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:55.120 Not. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.560 Yeah, yes, we'll see how we go here, but it's 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.160 just not need an expansory budget in the current environment. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.840 The last thing we want is the Reserve Bank spooked 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:11.640 with inflationary pressure and rates remaining high or even going 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:16.120 up further. Now, speaking of poor Keating there, I don't 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.800 know if you called this story in the Sunday Telegraph 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.720 and Net's sharp reporting there that the former Labor Prime minister, 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.040 who is now eighty years old, has found love with 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:32.440 a thirty something Polish waitress got a hand it to 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.840 Paul Keating. No one ever said he was boring proof. 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.360 No, there must be some life in the old boy yet, 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.480 unless they just wind clocks together and you know, talk 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.640 about art or something. I don't know, but good on him. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.440 You know, at least it might keep him off the 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.200 media trail, and you know, throwing grenades at various people 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.880 as he loves to do. And of course closing up 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.880 to China. It's interesting, does Poland and trying to get 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.000 on I'm not quite sure. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.920 Well, yes, the less he says about China, the better 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.400 I think for all of us. Now, let's go to 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.400 the US, where a small number of students at Duke 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:21.040 Universities staged a walkout, a very loud walkout, in protest 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.640 of Jerry Seinfeld's appearance at their commencement ceremony. You can 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.880 see them, they're getting up and leaving. My doubt Jerry 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.920 really was too fussed about these Let's have a listen 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:32.880 to what he had to say. 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.640 My point is, we're embarrassed about things we should be 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.840 proud of, and proud of things we should be embarrassed about. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.720 So on my staff in the nineties, we had a 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.440 lot of Harvard guys. They were fantastic, But I could 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:49.280 never understand why these guys were so embarrassed about being 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.760 from Harvard. They would never talk about it, they would 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.000 never mention it. I'm not talking about Harvard now, I'm 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.480 talking about the way it used to be. You're never 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.880 going to believe this Harvard, it used to be a 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:02.640 great place to go to school. 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.960 Prou He told them not to be ashamed of their 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.960 privilege and to maintain a sense of humor, and I 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.320 think that's very good advice. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.400 Indeed, Well, definitely, but clearly they were humorless and if 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:24.040 they didn't really celebrate the fact that Jerry Seinfeld, who's 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.960 one of the greatest comedians, and you know, I think 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:31.320 social anthropologists we've seen, you know, I think it's pretty 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.880 pathetic that they walked out. You know, it just shows 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.080 how juvenile and how dumb they really are. 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:39.160 Oh. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.440 Absolutely, But I think it was with Duke University a 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.960 small but loud minority. When you look at the numbers 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.080 who actually got up and walked out, a few of 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.040 them had banners and they looked they were in the dozens, 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.360 not their hundreds. So I guess that's a positive sign 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.120 for prou mcswede, Thank you so much. Joining me now 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:04.680 is renowned geologists professor in plymber In. We've had gas 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.920 mining giants issuing the Abenezy government a budget eve warning. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:15.480 They're saying that huge tax revenue contributions and the regional 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.320 jobs the sector provides they're at risk unless this restrictive 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.960 red black green tape is removed. What are the chances 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:29.040 that the treasure Jim Chalmers will heat their calls. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.479 Well, it's got very little choice. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.520 This has now become a political matter a couple of 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:39.440 years ago, the outgoing Japanese ambassador warned the government about 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:44.640 investment in gas in Australia and the time taken for approvals, 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.120 the massive amount of red, green, black and blue tape 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:53.640 from the UN that gives massive investment uncertainty, and investment 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.480 wasn't made because of the uncertainty. 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.320 Now the chickens have come home. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.680 Now we've got a gas ortage, and that means that 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.440 the knock on effect is with making fertilizers and making plastics, 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:10.160 and foundries operating and even green steel and making hydrogen. 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.200 So this has been coming for a long long time. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.440 Now I have to declare an interest. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.040 I'm the chairman of Senex, which is a gas company 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:22.320 in Eastern Australia. It's a company with Posco, the Coorean 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.880 steel giant. I was with Posco last week in Korea. 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.960 They expressed huge concern about the time taken for approvals 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.640 and the fact that our government has just locked gas 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.600 development in red tape and black tape such that it's 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.640 impossible to do anything. And in Senex we want to 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.640 increase our production from twenty to sixty pedadules. This would 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.520 help the problems in Eastern Australia. Now the government is 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.760 a hindrance to gas development in Australia. It's not helping 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.520 and they should have done this years ago. So they've 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.560 killed off coal, they've killed off nuclear, there's very little 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.400 hydro wind and solar are unreliable. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.600 All we've got left is gas and this is. 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.720 Being totally absolutely destroyed by the federal government. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.000 Is it just the federal government or is it the 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.960 state government who are real hindrance when it comes to 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.240 increasing gas production in this country. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.560 In Queensland, the state government is a little bit more 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.720 cooperative than in Victoria or in New South Wales. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.320 And you have to remember that gas is produced from 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.520 rural areas. There are very few jobs left in rural areas. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.120 Almost all the primary industry has. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.760 Been destroyed in rural areas and gas creates a lot 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.879 of jobs. And in the case of Senex, the jobs 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.320 are in places like one Dowan and Roma. These jobs 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:55.600 are absolutely vital because there is little employment in rural Australia. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.959 So it's a national issue which has been totally ignored 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.960 for ideological reasons by the government. It's been ignored because 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.960 gas is a fossil fuel. It's been ignored because they 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.679 want to create unreliable energy, which is not going to 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.800 make plastics, it's not going to make fertilizers, it's not 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.280 going to solve any problems. 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:18.440 Now. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:23.000 Being one of your favorites, Minister for Climate Change Chris Bowen, 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.760 he has taken to X the social media side to 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:30.840 boast about a surge in electric vehicle novated leases. He 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:35.639 says it's all thanks to Labor's EV tax cutter. But 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.840 is this really something to boast about. It'sn't it more 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:43.720 market manipulation to push evs to people who are now 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.080 going into debt to lease an asset that it's going 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.440 to be almost worthless at the end of that lease 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:50.800 in some cases. 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.720 Well that's the case. EV's lose the value quicker than anything. 0:18:55.440 --> 0:19:00.720 Evs have an awful track record of performance and resale, 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.600 and mister Bowen should look at what's happening in the 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.240 UK and in Europe, and there's a massive glut of evs. 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.639 People are moving away from evs and back to the 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.480 time proven internal combustion engines. 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.399 We've got tens of thousands of evs lined up on 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:18.480 waves in Europe. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.479 These have come from China, places like Burmerhafen, you can't 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.560 actually have any more evs there. And in Germany the 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:32.680 ev construction has actually slowed down. We have so many 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.720 evs floating around that people don't want to buy, and 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.880 they don't want to buy them for the right reasons. 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:42.920 They're too expensive. They depreciate it very very fast rate. 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.680 They catch a light, they can't go very far. And 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.120 if you're in the case of someone like Budget who 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:54.320 are renting out cars the useless and what Budget has 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.840 done they sell tens of thousands of the evs because 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.600 they cannot run a bit business. Actually renting out EV's, 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.160 leashing EV's is the same. 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.080 Sort of business. It will only operate if it's subsidized 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.840 then that is with your money. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.120 Well, that's exactly right. I mean, if there's such a 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:19.760 fantastic product, you wouldn't need all these programs and subsidies 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:25.320 and penalties on high mission cars to try to cajole 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:29.000 people into buying these. Now, it's all very confusing because 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.760 whilst we've got Chris Bowen pushing EV's very heavily in Germany, 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:39.000 the lefties are protesting against evs. Protesters are opposed to 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.320 the expansion of a Tesla plant in a town near 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:46.280 Berlin on Friday that clashed with police. Some of them 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:50.880 have been attempted to storm the electric vehicle manufacturing facility. 0:20:50.960 --> 0:21:04.480 Let's have a look and what is going on. I 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:08.760 thought the environmentalists were all loving evs or are they 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:13.280 finally realizing that they're not that environmentally friendly if you 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.880 actually look at what goes into them. 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:20.400 Well, summer is coming on in Europe, in German Germany, 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.600 and you can see from the way people were dressed 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.680 it was warm. Many of those people have not got 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.840 sick overcoats on. So this is the time for the 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:33.600 anarcho Marxists to start demonstrating, and they demonstrate against anything. 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:38.520 Now that grin Hyder factory is in East Germany. East 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.400 Germany needs the jobs. East Germany is still. 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:45.440 Recovering from communism which destroyed the economy. So here we've 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.200 got people objecting. 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.400 To actually owning a car, to having freedom, to stopping 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:51.960 the average person. 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.040 Being able to drive when and where they want to. 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.480 They want to be pleased that Germany actually has Tesla 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:03.720 into that country because companies lie BMW and Volkswagen and Mercedes. 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:07.200 And Porsche are actually cutting down the amount of production. 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:12.600 They've been very successful with their internal combustion engines, but 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.760 with the evs they've actually lost a lot of money. 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.000 So the German people should be very pleased and someone 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:23.160 is investing in evs, because after all, evs are meant 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.119 to be clean, green vehicles. 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.720 These people should be cheering. They shouldn't be demonstrating. 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.120 Well, they're not charing that you saw from that footage there, 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:40.440 we're like storming the barricades. Also a conflict in Queensland 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.720 with the L and P, the Liberal National Party, the 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:47.240 different factions there have got a showdown coming up between 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:51.680 the Moderates and the Conservatives of the party's annual state conference, 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.920 and the big issue seems to be in the Parliamentary 0:22:55.960 --> 0:23:00.000 party's support of Labour's seventy five percent in mission reduction 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.200 target by twenty thirty five, a very bold target. Indeed, 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.440 rank and file party members are said to be absolutely 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:13.560 irate with that, as are several federal MPs. How do 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:18.960 you see this clash resolving? It seems like they're determined 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.119 to snatch defeat from the Jews of victory here. Have 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:26.560 they not learned anything from the rabble we've got down 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:27.560 here in Victoria? 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:30.879 Well, there's something in the water in Queensland because the 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.760 labor parties having a massive fight at present between the 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:36.720 loopy left trying to ease out the right, and they 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:40.480 have agreements where various positions go to the left and right. 0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:43.640 They're having a massy fight and the LNP are having 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:47.760 massive fight. And in the lnp's case, it's a death wish. 0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.720 If you want to lose an election, show that you've 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:56.760 got some division. Now we have now the LNP is saying, look, 0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:57.840 we don't want. 0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.840 To have net zero on the political agenda. 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.240 We want to be the same as the labor clowns 0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:05.520 and so we're going to have the same policy and 0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.240 that means that you can't vote us out on net 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:11.760 zero grounds. They need to stand up and have some principle. 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:14.640 They need to say we are different. We don't want 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:18.879 to send Queensland broke. We have Queensland and energy exporting state. 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:23.159 We need to actually use coal and use gas. So 0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:26.120 we have people and I wouldn't call them the moderates. 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:30.320 I'd say those with common sense in their LNP are 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.360 actually trying. 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.000 To stop those who are siding. 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.920 With the loopy left and saying well, yes we should 0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:41.359 go down the net zero path and the people who 0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.560 have got common sense in the LNP are saying, we 0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:45.120 want to be. 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.760 A party where we are different. We don't want to 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.119
