WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 2 April 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:04.479 On scoring leaves Oustrodia. 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.240 This is the Wader Panalty Show. 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:11.879 Good evening, A welcome to the Rita Panekey Show coming 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:16.160 up tonight. The Victorian government plunged into a fresh crisis, 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.200 with the acting Chief Police Commissioner sensationally quitting the force 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.000 after just forty one days in the top job. The 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.040 latest wacky ads from Labor and the Liberals as the 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.240 major parties flood social media with campaign ads. 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.280 Democrats in Congress find new. 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.159 Lows they're approval rating, hitting a record low of twenty 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:36.919 one percent. 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:38.720 Link Lauren will. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:43.560 Have the latest, including Cory Booker's marathon filibuster and Alex 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.960 Stein will tell us why he was attacked during trans 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:51.080 Day of Visibility celebrations and we never forget left. 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:52.040 He's losing it. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:57.320 Is there anything anything, oh earn you thing it are 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.960 that they could do to lose your supper? 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:00.520 Worried at this. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.400 Point, But first Labor has been weaponizing all things Trump 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.959 to attack Peter Dutton, and it must be said the 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:13.160 Opposition leader is not dealing with these attacks particularly well. 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.759 But the Prime Minister himself has been struggling to explain 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:21.400 some of his own commentary regarding the US President, watch 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.280 this rather bizarre exchange. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.679 Prime Minister, you previously said that Donald Trump scares the 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:27.319 ship out of you. 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.679 What scared the ship out of you? 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.920 And are you still frightened by those things about Donald Trump? 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:33.160 Now? 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.120 It's Prime Minister. I have a constructive relationship with the 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.160 President and I've had two very constructive phone calls with him. 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.640 But no, no, sorry, So what skipped out of the question? 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.800 What actually scared me about him? 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:45.679 As Prime minister? 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:46.800 Said this? 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.280 As Prime Minister, I have a constructive relationship with the 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.800 President and I look forward to continue and engage with him. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.080 Dear, what we have there is a weak, reckless leader 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.040 who made I advise comments about a former president who 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.680 anyone with a fully functioning brain knew was likely to 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.400 be a future president. Joining me now for more on 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.080 this is their panel. We've got Sky News contributors pri 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:17.520 McSween and Tina McQueen, Tina Labor and the media have 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.560 been using Donald Trump to attack Peter Dutton, trying to 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:26.320 capitalize on the well almost uniformly terrible coverage of US 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.040 politics that we get in this country. Is it working 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.040 in scaring the electorate and making them think Peter Dutton 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.760 is Donald Trump two point zero. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.960 No, I don't think it's working at all. And I look, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.560 I think Peter Dutton bedwise to agree and go hand 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.560 in hand with Donald Trump on a lot of policies. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.040 So this won't work at all. I mean, this alban 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:53.760 easy continuing Trump thumping. 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.880 Isn't going to work. 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.280 There's a lot of admiration for what Trump's doing in 0:02:55.680 --> 0:03:00.320 the US by Australians around the country, so this tactic 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.200 will not work and may very well backby against Prime Minister. 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:06.720 Prue. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.040 But Dutton isn't really leaning into it either. He seems 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.480 to be scared of even talking about it. You either 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.240 embrace it and point to the great things that are 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.400 happening in the US and point out, you know where 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:23.200 a different country has got different policies, or you tackle 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.519 it in some other way. He seems to just sort 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.520 of be allowing Labor to set the tone when it 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:30.840 comes to this issue. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:35.000 Well, he's underestimating the fact that labor are street fighters. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.360 They play dirty, they play the man, as we know. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.720 And I don't necessarily agree with Tina in this. I 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.520 think that their policy of attacking Dutton and weaponizing Trump 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.640 against him is working in some cases. You know, he's 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.240 I think that it's true that Albanize is hoping for 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.040 a Trump bump. That's what they're all predicting if his 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:05.000 liberation tariffs come in, And any sane person would understand 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.440 that what Dutton is actually supporting of Trump is things 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.920 like abandoning woke policies in school and generally in the community, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.640 and cutting back on the federal Department of Education. Why 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.520 the hell do we have a federal Department of education 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:27.040 when we have states governments running the education system. So 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.440 I think draining the swamp of public servants is a 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.720 good idea, and he's been very clear, Dutton about not 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.120 you know, draining the swamp when it came to frontline workers. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.000 So I just think that Dutton needs to be more aggressive. 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:43.640 Generally. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:49.839 We have big fisted, chest pumping Albanezi, who was missing 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.480 in action for so long when it came to trying 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.120 to advocate for against these tariffs. I mean, apart from 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.320 not being able to even get a phone call with 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.719 the president, you know, we have useless rut whose demeaned 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.360 Trump so much being our advocate. 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.280 Well, no wonder we're in this situation. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.680 But I think you're right, reader. 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.880 I think mister Dutton really has to man up on 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.160 this and not be wishy washy about it. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:14.679 These ads will work. 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.760 If Dunton does not stand up for his relationship with 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.599 Trump and the policies that he admires and will take. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:26.200 On board, well he needs just to be bolder across 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:31.280 the board. Let's talk about those tariffs, though Tomorrow has 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.760 been dubbed Liberation Day in the US, with Donald Trump 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:39.000 said to announce a list of tariffs impacting Australias as 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.839 well that it should be taking place with immediate effect. 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:49.640 Australian meat, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, even the media all face possible tariffs. Tina, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.240 we have shot ourselves in the foot here with the 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:58.000 negotiation because some of those unwise comments that we've had 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.880 from labor ministers, from the PM as we just heard, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.599 and form the prime ministers who cannot keep out of 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.360 the media. None of that helps when you're trying to 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:13.000 negotiate an exemption. And Australia wasn't a fairly unique position 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.040 because we've got a trade deficit with the US and 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.520 most countries don't, so we perhaps could have got an 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.599 advantageous still if our politicians were a little bit smarter. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.360 Yeah, they're really blown it, particularly markham turmalus Preu said 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.640 Kevin Rudd. And you know President Trump, he doesn't take 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:37.760 kindly to these remarks and he's got a long memory. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.279 So I think we've handled very poorly. We've gone totally 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.360 in the wrong way about it. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:43.400 There are plenty of. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.400 Avenues we could have used to get to President Trump. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.479 That Albanese did not take advantage of. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.360 There's a number of private Australians that have a close 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:55.120 relationship with the President. We could have gone that route. 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.360 So I think, yeah, it's a real shame that that's happened, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.440 and clearly these tariffs are going to have some effect 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.320 in our country. All I can hope for is a 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.320 change of government where I'm certain that relationships will be 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.880 better with the president. So we just have to hope 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.920 that the government just changed and we can readjust our 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.840 relationship with President Trump and fix some of these arrangements 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.840 that will be no doubt be put in place on 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:19.520 April fourth. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:25.000 Over here, Now, let's check in with the social media 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.080 campaigns of the major parties. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:40.480 Let's start with Labor. This is their latest efforts. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.880 Authorized p rickson alp camera. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:50.040 Okay, it looks like the Liberals are taking a page 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.280 out of Labour's playbook and trying to appeal to younger 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.520 voters with these sort of left field ads. They've used 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.280 the awful Snow White movie to mock lay up. 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.240 This movie is such a flyp Yeah, people would walk 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.240 out even if they played the film on a plane. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.280 But it's still better than this mid on Libra government. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.280 You think this trash movie is better than their debt 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:12.000 filled budget. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.040 Liber are terrible, but this movie is a tougher watch 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.640 than TikTok and The Mean Depression. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.000 Look, I know we got two out of ten on IMDb, 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.400 but have you seen the power prices under Libra? 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:28.080 Authorized? A host liberal Canberra prue? You are the pr Maven. 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:30.720 What do you think of what you've just seen? 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:31.800 Look? 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.640 I can understand why they're targeting this generation and online 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.160 media because it's the main consumption now of many many 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.600 voters of all demographics. But I think these two attempts 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.400 are really quite pathetic. You know, too hard, too long 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:47.760 to cryptic. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.080 I just you know, I just don't understand it. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.280 I suppose one could argue that they're a bit better 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:58.360 than Claire O'Neill's attempts, you know, homegrown attempts, but Bowen's attempts. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.360 But really, you know, they're not hitting the mark. What 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.160 they need to do is probably get some younger people, 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.679 not these you know, sort of advertising types who are 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.559 probably snipping all sorts of different things in between you 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:15.200 coming up with creative campaigns, you know, to come up 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.800 with some ideas. But I just think these missed the mark. 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.040 Well we've got another one for you, because it's not 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:26.880 just the major parties, the minor parties, the independence, they're 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.560 all joining in. Let's have a look at Senator for 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:35.760 Teama Payman's effort is that we're capping. I've just said 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:43.720 he's capping ic L TSPMO, SDB, wilted Rose emotion Tina. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.520 I'm not sure exactly what that was about, but I 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.920 did have a look at the Instagram comments and they 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:51.959 weren't complimentary. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.920 As all I can say, Reader, I must be ancient. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.120 I don't get any of these ads, the labor one 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.640 in particular, the liberal one I think was silly to 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.280 lose us. The snow White reference, because that actress in 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.760 Snow White is the workest of Woken, although the movie 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.360 apparently is shocking she'd still have plenty of fans, so. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:12.319 I wouldn't touch that. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.199 And Fatima, look, I very few people know who she is, 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.080 shows very little to say and are going to be 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.120 even more confused by watching that. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:27.160 Yes, yes, Now the Liberals have started adding Monique don't 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:32.000 take this sign posters alongside their Amelia Hamer posters in 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.480 the seat of q Yol. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:35.160 This is clever. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.480 This is after the husband of the TLMP, Monig Ryan, 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.959 was caught on camera removing one of Hamer's campaign ads 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:46.280 last week. Tina, this is this is actually clever. It's 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.880 an employing humor and it's making the point. It's reminding 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.439 that electro of what happened. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:52.439 That's right. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.640 Look, I think it's brilliant and I was having a 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.880 particular tough day the other Dame when I first saw 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.480 this ad and it really made me just burst out laughing. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.240 I'd be a joyous, clever ad and we need. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:08.720 More like this to win an election. Proue. 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.240 What else can the major political parties do to get 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.760 through to the electrop Because not everyone is obsessed with politics. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:17.880 As we are. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.839 Much of the country is apathetic that kind of consume what. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.400 They have to. How do you get through to the 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:27.359 average Australian. 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.679 Well, I think that the messaging just has to be 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:37.760 simple and clear. Everything they do needs to have a resolution. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:42.440 Why when I heard Dutton during his pub test on 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.920 Sky and he was talking about the fuel excise, but 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.320 then he didn't drive at home and saying every person, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.040 whether you pay text or not, will pay less for 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:58.240 their fuel. You know, they don't sell properly, and so 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.959 I think they also because Labor is so clever and 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:05.240 obfuscating and taking the eye off the ball. They talk 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.800 about things, but they don't get the clear message out there. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.400 And I just feel that the lips in particular allow 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.280 Labor to get away with lies and murder generally, you know. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.440 So I think that you know, going cutting very clear 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.920 communications is the way to go across all channels. 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.600 I think you're right, Prue and Read. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.600 We need to go back to when Tony Abbott won 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.960 and you know the three word slogans work, cut the tax, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.360 stop the boats, things like that. Short and concise messages 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.160 is what Peter dut and the Liberal Party need to adopt. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:38.680 Yep. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.280 Absolutely, just the word xcise. I think people tune out. 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:50.040 People understand tax and they understand dollar amounts. So if 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.840 you say that will save you twenty dollars per week, 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.760 whatever the amount is, that's what gets through. Now let's 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:02.440 talk about Victoria. Victoria Police Commissioner Rick Nugent, who was 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.200 sworn into the top job after Shane Patton was forced 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.679 out of the role in February, has made the shop 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.160 decision to quit, plunging Victoria Police and the Allen government 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.559 into even greater chaos. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.480 Prough, the acting Chief. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:22.160 Commissioner, quit after just forty one days in the top job. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:29.240 There's allegations of inappropriate conduct involving a conflict of interest. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.760 This is during his previous stint as a commissioner, and 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.720 these complaints have gone to the Anti corruption watchdog. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:42.880 But pro it's a mess, well, who would touch it? 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.640 You know, the job is really toxic when you think 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:52.679 that everything that is done in Victorian particular is politically motivated. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.640 The police commissioner's job, I don't care who's sitting in 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.600 the chair, is virtually untenable unless you you capitulate and 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:07.080 commit to what Allen and co. Dictate you as well 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.720 give up. And I don't know whether this guy's past 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.960 had any real influence or if it's a political gotcha 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.840 where they've decided this guy isn't playing balls, so we 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:17.920 need to get rid of him. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.000 Let's dig up. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.080 Some potential dirt. 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:21.120 I don't know. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.440 All you know is that everything that happens in Victorian 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:25.560 politics stinks. 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.400 Well, yes, and if you want to see Victoria nationally 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.680 another term of the Alban Eazy government may just get 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:35.120 you there. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:36.320 Now before you. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.560 Go, Tina, I've got to ask you about this piece 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:44.200 I saw in The Australian's Margin Core column. A bit 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.000 bizarre if you ask me. It was an attack against 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:52.080 the white Haven cole director Raymond's age because he likes 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.120 posts on social media that are in support of Trump 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.760 and Elon Masker. He noted that Elon Musk would be 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.920 a fantastic president. It's a shame he can't run to 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:09.480 be president. This anonymous columnists label that embarrassing and nutty. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.400 I mean, where is this coming from? Where is this 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.840 It's almost like we're back into twenty sixteen, where they 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.640 don't seem to appreciate that this is the duly elected 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.240 president of the United States and he. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.600 Enjoys enormous support, not just in America. 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:30.160 Yeah, look, he's been over overwhelmingly elected, so you know, 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.560 everyone's got the right to say I think, and if 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.440 you want to support Trump and praise what him and 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.840 must be doing, you should be able to without being ridiculed. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.080 I mean, it's just ridiculous. And good on him for 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.800 saying what he really believes and what his thoughts are 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.760 regarding the US. And you know that's a bold, brave 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.560 move and I think more of us should do it. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:52.280 Absolutely. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.200 And I had to look at the again the comments 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:58.080 from The Australian's readers and that they were not too 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.520 impressed with the angle the columnists taken. The unnamed columnist 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.080 Pru McSween, Tina McQueen, thank you so much for your 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.840 time tonight. Joining me now is research fellow at the 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.560 Institute of Public Affairs Saxon Davidson. Saxon Peter Dutton has 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.680 spriaked a policy that would force the banks to slash 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.560 their serviceability buffers for home loans by a third, as 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.280 well as direct them to ease capital rules for borrowers 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:27.040 with small deposits. Analysis conducted by Canstar estimates that such 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.040 measures would allow the average person to borrow up to 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:34.320 forty thousand dollars more than they otherwise would, But Canstar 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.720 says that the person who is most likely to benefit 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.680 from this structural change is the person selling the property, 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.360 not the person taking on more debt. It's a drop 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.920 in the ocean. That's a direct quote there, Saxon. Housing 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.000 is going to be a huge issue. What do you 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.720 make of the policies of the two major parties? 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.160 Well, the policy of the two policies of the two 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.920 major parties are pretty poor. Actually, the main issue with 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.120 housing is affordability, and the biggest lever that the. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.520 Federal parties have to pull this lever is immigration. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.800 Demand for housing is far too high and it is 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.720 lifting housing and rent prices for everybody. Now, this policy 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.200 from Peter Dutton is a positive one and will allow 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.520 people to enter the market that otherwise couldn't. But without 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.520 significant cuts to migration, demand for housing is simply only 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.160 going to rise further and further up. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.520 What about the policy of allowing people to access their 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.480 super to buy a home. This seems to be a 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.080 philosophical point for the liberals where they say it's your money, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:37.919 you should be able to access it to do with 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.480 as you wish. What do you think about that, because 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.240 it's certainly something Labor do not back well. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.800 Obviously, Labor wouldn't back any taking out of the super 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.760 taking any money out of the superannuation funds. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:49.919 I'm a big. 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.200 Supporter of this policy because ultimately superannuation does act as 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.240 a double taxation on top of your income tax. And 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.480 being able to use your own money to purchase a 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.920 home for you to be able to build your life 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:06.040 savings around like most Australians do, shouldn't be as outlandish 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.359 a policy as some people in the political cost make 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:08.840 it out to be. 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.400 Absolutely, it seems mad that it's a particularly when you're 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.080 investigating property and we've seen historically how much that has 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.560 gone up in value, So why deprive people of the 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.359 opportunity Now, Labor said that it will urge the Fair 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.200 Work Commission to back above inflation pay rises for two 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.560 point nine million low paid workers, in a move that 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.800 will no doubt spark a political war between the party 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:37.520 and businesses across the country. Saxon is Labor backing a 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.600 winning plan here. This is certainly going to be popular, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.639 but will it be inflationary? 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:44.760 It's absolutely going to be inflationary. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.919 Any arbitrary increase to wages which is not met with 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:52.040 equivalent increase to productivity is going to be naturally inflationary, 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.240 which I mean is to the detriment of the entire population, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.800 particularly low paid workers. And I mean the other thing 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.159 that's been missing out of this converse is the effect 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.480 this is going to have on businesses, particularly particularly small 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:09.680 and medium enterprises. Smaller medium enterprises are being burdened at 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.200 a double rate at the moment due to record energy 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.240 prices and also by a record amount of red tape 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.080 at both the federal and the state level. If this 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.280 is going to be again, if they're going to be 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.679 burdened even more by an increased labor cost, that just 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.480 means more businesses are going to go under which means 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.160 that a lot of those workers who labor supposedly support 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.359 with this policy shift are just going to lose their jobs, 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:32.280 and no one wants that. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.920 Well, the fear here is that this is, as you explain, 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.720 going to be particularly bad for low income earners because 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.919 it's going to be inflationary, but it's probably going to 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.000 be most attractive because they're going to end up with 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.080 some more money in their pocket initially before that inflation 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.440 takes it all away. So I think politically it's very 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.480 clever from Labour. Now, finally, before you go, Saxon, let's 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.760 talk about Victoria. The Allen government is set to ink 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:01.480 the most expensive contract of the suburban rail loop is 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:06.800 going to be billions dollars more. They're going to do 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.680 this despite Peter Dutton threatening to cut federal funding for 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.919 the project if he wins. So we could be looking, 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.880 Saxon at an eleven point five billion dollar black hole 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.919 in this project. What is the business case for the 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:22.960 suburban rail Loop? 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.760 There simply isn't one. This is a boondoggle. 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.520 We have spent billions and we're about to spend many, 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.120 many billions more and there's no business. 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:32.640 There's no business case for this project. 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.440 And it's just a continuation of the storied history of 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.400 this Labor government, which is now eleven years old, of 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:44.280 budget blowouts, project delays and unfulfilled promises, all three of 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.400 which were seen with the most recently canceled and repurposed 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:53.080 now Glasgow Commonwealth Games. And we've seen project after projects 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.000 there are simply more delays, more budget blowouts, and this 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.879 eleven point two budget hole that's now in this pre 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.600 is probably only going to get larger considering that we 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.720 know based on history, what the results will be. 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.000 The longer this project. 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.400 Goes on, Saxon Davidson, Thank you so much, Vin, Thank 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:10.960 you for having me. 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:15.600 Still to come a Lefties Losing it plus Democrats sink 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.680 two new loads with their approval. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.640 Rating committing to twenty one percent. Link. Lauren joins us 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:22.280 next with the. 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:34.560 Details Welcome back. It's time for Lefties losing it. And 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.520 there has been much controversy among the humorless joyless left 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.720 because this alleged comic Amber Ruffin has been removed as 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.760 the headline act for the White House Correspondence Dinner. 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:49.480 A tragedy for comedy. Let's get back to the monologue. 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:54.040 During the Houston Astros World Series victory parade on Monday, 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.240 Senator Ted Cruz was reportedly hit with a beer. 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:59.840 Can in the chest and neck. It missed his fine 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:01.320 because he doesn't have one. 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:05.359 Oh dear, and she's not only painfully and funny, she's 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:09.359 also a lefty losing it who intended to use the 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:10.920 occasion to grandstand. 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:16.159 You're kind of a bunch of murderers. I mean so 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.679 like they were like you need to be you know, 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:23.679
