WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 1 April 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:08.600 Welcome to the Late Debase. Good evening and welcome to 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.440 the program. I'm Caleb Bond with Joe Hildebrand and Liz Storer, 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.239 and shout out to our mate James McPherson who's gone 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.680 away on holiday for two weeks. I can't believe he's abandoned, 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.439 but he's having a wonderful her I'm overseas, so I 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.159 can understand that. Yet another reason to hate counsels. A 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.040 woman in Queensland has been find more than eight hundred 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.640 dollars for slipping in her own car while her house 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.519 is being renovated. Can you believe it? When we get 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.960 to the papers, school in Sydney is allowing children to 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.720 opt out of an ANZAC service, and Victoria's getting its 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.080 second police commissioner in just as many months. And we've 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.680 finally found the answer. The federal government has found the 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.640 answer of how to get people to quit smoking. They've 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.080 enacted it today. We'll tell you what it is a 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.880 little bit later on. Now, can you believe this story 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.520 out of the UK that apparently a child as young 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.680 as three four has been expelled from nursery school. So 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.040 that's the equivalent of preschool or kindergarten here in Australia 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:11.679 four being transphobic or homophobic. I mean, I wish I 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.559 was joking about this, but the Telegraph from the UK 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.200 got their hands on data from the Education Department and 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.360 it found that in the twenty twenty three, sorry twenty 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.399 twenty two, twenty three academic year, there was at least 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.600 one child between the ages of three and four who 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:33.360 was expelled for the offense of quote abuse against sexual 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:38.399 orientation and gender identity. There were ninety four primary school 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.480 children in all who were either expelled or suspended for 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.720 that crime. Ten of them were in year one and 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.320 three of them were in year two. So we're talking 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.080 about children of three, four, five six years old here 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:57.080 who have apparently been homophobic or transphobic. The Education Department 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.320 said that all pupils and staff should feel safe and 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.640 protected at school and should never face violence or abuse. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.800 I mean, what on earth is could a three or 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.960 four year old child be doing in preschool that would 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.960 be deemed homophobic or transphobic? I mean, you know, did 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.240 the kid happen to miss gender a teacher or something, 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.280 because you know, the kid can see better than anyone 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.040 else that missus is actually a mister, and then mister 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.120 was offended by it. Seriously, this is beyond belief. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:37.000 If your ideology punishes children for not complying, you know 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.359 you've gone off the deep end. And we don't get 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.880 any examples of what these children have apparently said or 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.720 done in order to be rendered guilty of this also 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.960 terrible crime. You've also got to wonder who the heck you. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.200 Are owned these schoolrooms. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:59.320 Who are the teachers reporting on these children for having 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.840 been transfer phobic or homophobic? Who are these teachers who 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.520 are obviously very much wedded to this ideology to the 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.880 extent that they're happy to take it out on children. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.200 I loved this tweet by JK. Rowling, who's been a 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:20.240 massive defender of women's rights and who has consistently railed 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:26.040 against trans ideology. She says, this is totalitarian insanity. If 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.480 you think small children should be punished for being able 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.919 to recognize sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.720 be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.800 over them. It's that simple, for crying out loud. We've 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.800 got enough terrible examples out of the UK of adults 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.600 being arrested over memes they've put on social media thousands 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.400 of arrests in the year twenty twenty one alone. I'll 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.960 get to that in a bit, But now we're talking 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.440 about kids. How are they expected to know any better? 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.600 And why should they their children? 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.240 It's amazing. I mean talk about kids being you know, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.120 homophobic or transfer. Kids are everything phobic, I mean everything 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.600 A kid says, he's inappropriate, that's what, that's what, that's 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.640 right exactly, and the idea, I mean, I can't There 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.680 was a thing in my son's preschool and it was unbelievable, 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.279 how ridiculously serious they seriously they took it. But my 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.800 son and I think we have moved past it now 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.719 that he's in grade six. But my son and another 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.839 two kids managed to steal the iPad, the teacher's iPad 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:43.120 at the childcare center, the preschool or whatever, and went right, 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.400 we've got an iPad, what should we do with it? 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.280 And of course the very first thing that they did 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:54.200 was take photos of their naked asses, calling it as 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.760 kate and the educators, look, this is terribly so we 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.679 have to make you aware. This is been a potential 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.800 there's been a sexual incidentally, there is absolutely nothing sexual 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.919 about this kid. It's the first thing that any idiotic 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.920 boy will do. You kind of get the feeling that 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.520 with the best of intentions, I'm sure, but that in 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.039 applying these rules for the so called quite un quite 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:26.400 safety of kids, they're actually inserting all these kind of 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.320 concepts that kids are just not ready for. They just 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.960 do not want to know about. It's potentially dangerous or 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.800 creepy to actually familiarize with this sort of stuff all 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.120 in the name of protecting them. And that's what I've 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.800 just always found it just so weird that that we 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.720 seem to have done this, you know, and that we're 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.280 sort of sexualizing our kids out of the fear that 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.240 our kids are being sexualized. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.360 And we talked about this a decade ago with the 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.200 safe Schools program that was being rolled out in New 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.279 South Wales. You might remember, what on earth could a 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.200 three or four year old kid be doing knowingly that 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.839 is homophobic or transphobica. It's just not a thing. Kids 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.919 don't think that way. Kids don't have prejudices. I mean, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.159 they're pretty good bullies, it should be noted, but they 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.440 don't have prejudices like that. And to introduce the idea 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.200 that they would even think that way stupid, but it's 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.080 an attack on free speech, as there is a lot 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.640 of going on in the UK, yet another example of 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.559 just how badly things have devolved over there. You can't 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.640 even we're talking about schools. You can't even criticize your 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.680 child school anymore without having the roses rock up at 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.120 your door, six of them in this case, and take 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.360 you away for questioning because you committed the crime of 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.600 saying something unsavory about a teacher or a principle in 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.080 a WhatsApp group. I can't believe this is actually real, 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.920 but this is what happened to a couple in the UK. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.360 You can see footage hear of them being taken away 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.960 by the coppers. Maxi Allen and his wife Rosalind Levine 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.680 were the ones who faced the questioning from police. They 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.760 were called in by the school. Now the problem for 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.040 them is the police studies. Is that Maxie Allen is 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.440 a journalist. He works for Times Radio in the UK, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.080 so of course he was going to tell the public 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.960 about it. He explains here exactly what happened on that 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:21.760 WhatsApp group. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.440 Like most parents, we chunted about a few things. One 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.280 thing we talked about on that group was a letter 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.920 from the school commanding all parents not to talk about 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.480 the school on Facebook or social media or WhatsApp groups. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.040 We thought that was a bit off. My partner Roslin 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.560 made a handful of vaguely spicy comments. She referred to 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.680 one school leader as a control freak. She said the 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.240 chair of governors didn't know much about anything out of 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.840 the blue. On the twelfth of July last year, the 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.520 Chair of Governors wrote to Rosalind and me. She accused 0:07:55.600 --> 0:08:02.760 us of posting disparaging and inflammatory comments on WhatsApp and Facebook. 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:04.360 Control. 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.360 We better call in the police. How is this even real? 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.560 The police, the Hertfordshire Police, the arrests were necessary to 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.600 fully investigate the allegations, as his routine in these types 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.800 of matters. Following further investigations, officers deemed that no further 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.920 action could be taken to do insufficient evidence. What do 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.840 they mean, Joe routine? How many times do the police 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.320 callen for like a rude WhatsApp? 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.720 Clearly there is just not enough crime in the UK. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.400 The police just enough today, that's right, But it just 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:44.080 like we forget about the insufficient evidence, insufficient evidence of 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.840 what what crime could possibly have been committed here. And 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:52.079 more importantly, who in that WhatsApp group is snitching. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:52.880 To the school exactly? 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.880 That's what I want to know, that they've got a mole, 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.720 they got someone in that is going. I mean, anyone 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.600 who's in a WhatsApp group and has as you have kids, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.520 you will just realize that they just spring up instantaneously. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:09.280 People say stuff all the time. There's just it's just honestly, 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.960 the idea that you could be held responsible for something 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.680 said what's that group at all? Let alone that the 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.320 cops would actually show up to your house. I mean, 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.000 it's not like that would ever happen in Australia. It's 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.600 not a Victorian police whatever rock up at your door 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.960 for something you'd said on social media. I mean, that's 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.280 just outrageous, isn't it. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:31.359 But a five week investigation. This was a five week investigation, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.680 no wonder you think there mustn't be any crime in 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.760 the UK and six cops coming round to arrest this 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.199 couple in front of their two crying daughters. They also 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.120 have a three year old who naturally will live with 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:45.800 this for the rest of her life. She's like, I 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.480 saw my mom and my dad being taken away by 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.600 the cops. I'm standing in that as it is about 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.600 what have my parents done? Now they herd Fordshire Police 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.880 statement reads are Look, this is just routine. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:02.440 He says. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.680 The arrests were necessary to fully investigate the allegations as 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.160 his routine in these type of matters, Like you say, 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:16.920 this is routine, really ordinary at all for them, And 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.560 this is now what the UK is famous for the 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.520 world over. They arrest women who aren't even visibly praying. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.640 They are by themselves with their eyes wide open, in 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.680 the vicinity of abortion clinics. You get arrested for that. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.160 I still remember the case. This was a twenty eighteen case. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.120 You can look it up. Her name was Chelsea Russell. 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.240 She was a nineteen year old girl. This is how 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.600 bad it's been, and this is how long it's been 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.840 this way in the UK. She lost a friend in 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.800 a car accident and by way of tribute to him, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.719 she posted his favorite rap song the lyrics of his 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.280 favorite rap song on her Instagram account, and like many 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:02.200 rap songs, it featured the N word in it. Well, 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.840 she was taken to court, she was found guilty. She 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.280 was given five hundred hours of community service. She was 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.680 fined and for a year she lived under a eight 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.920 pm to eight am curfew. So we're not punishing the 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.000 rapper who wrote the lyrics. We're punishing a girl who 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.240 posted her friend's favorite song for crying out loud. People 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.760 are being arrested for memes. Like I said before, in 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:35.520 the year twenty twenty one, Russia arrested four hundred people 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.640 for online posts, and we say, oh, well, that's to 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:43.319 be expect Russia. Yeah, now the day another dollar, it's Russia. 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:48.679 In the same year, the UK arrested three thousand, three 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:54.000 hundred people for things that they had posted online. Far more, 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.600 by the way, we're visited by police. We're just talking 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.120 about the arrests here. So it was no surprise to 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.560 anyone that a couple of weeks ago, when Kirs Starmer 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.040 was in the White House, JD Vance did not miss 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:12.120 a trick raising the dire case of free speech in 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.360 the United Kingdom with the Prime Minister Kis Starma. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.840 We also know that there have been infringements on free 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.920 speech that actually affect not just the British, of course 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.000 what the British do in their own country is up 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.680 to them, but also affect American technology companies and by extension, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.160 American citizens. So that is something that we'll talk about 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:32.800 today at launching. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.240 We've had bretis speech for a very very long time 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.839 in the United Kingdom and it will last for a 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.880 very very long time. Well no, I mean, certainly we 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.840 wouldn't want to reach across US citizens and we don't 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.880 know that's absolutely right. But in relation to pre speech 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.319 in the UK, I'm very proud of our history there. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.720 Of course, Americans know that as of August last year, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.920 that is a lie. They can too reach across and 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.640 punish Americans for things that they post. They can indeed 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.120 look that one up as well. So vance knew sitting 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.240 there that the Prime Minister was lying, and so does 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.960 every single American saying in American matters. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:12.160 Now. 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:17.120 Elon Musk remains under fire, quite literally under fire now 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:21.960 with Tesla centers burning in Rome and Stockholm. Check out 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.360 this footage and overnote. Fire at a Tesla dealership in 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:30.120 Rome destroyed seventeen cars, while in Sweden to dealerships and 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.880 cars were also vandalized in this latest string of attacks 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.400 on Tesla's by virtue of Elon Mausk being a supporter 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.520 of Donald Trump. These people will stop at absolutely nothing. 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.319 They know that Tesla shares have plummeted over fifty percent 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.960 in just the last three months alone, and that's before 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:55.199 they got started. These domestic terrorists are certainly earning their 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:59.560 name of domestic terrorists. And yet if you tune into 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:00.920 some of their rallies. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:19.040 It looks like a dance party. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.280 Would you believe it? A woman who has written a book, 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.720 just innocently written a book, but made the mistake of 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.760 having one of the characters say something nice about Elon 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:36.920 Musk has now had her publisher cancel on her simply 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.360 for two lines from a specific character, her main character, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.600 and now her novel Sparrow and Vine, has just been 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.720 plucked off bookshelves. In fact, didn't even make it to 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:54.960 the printing press as she'd been promised. Elon Musk's heart 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.800 has of course gone out to this poor woman who 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:02.040 was about to become a published or Today, he shared 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.800 social media this little clip read out of the Communist 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:10.840 directive of nineteen forty three, and his tweets said nothing's 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.520 changed in all these years. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.880 In nineteen forty three, the following directive was issued from 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.760 party headquarters to all communists in the United States, it read. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:28.280 When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:33.320 build ups, as fascist or Nazi or anti Semitic, and 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.040 use the prestige of anti fascist and tolerance organizations to 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:41.720 discredit them in the public mind. Constantly associate those who 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.120 oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.200 The association will, after enough repetition, become fact in the 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:50.960 public mind. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.120 True that Tit's as true today as it ever was. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.680 And Musk is rightly saying, good grief. My cars being burned. 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.960 I've been labeled in nazy. My gars are being burnt 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.200 to the ground. Tesla dealerships are going up in flames 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.240 all over the Western world. Now this woman can't even 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.960 publish her book anymore because there's one line in it 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.160 in which the main character says, quote, I was inspired 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.680 by Elon Musk, I use his five step design process. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:24.040 That was literally it. That was it the line. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:28.840 That cost her her book in the Communist defense, that 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:34.600 is terrible dialogue. It's just awful. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.880 And that a romance book had been pulled by the 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.880 publisher for something to do with Elon Musk. I thought, 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.640 oh my god, someone has written a book where like 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.760 someone falls in love with Elon Musk and it's like 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.880 some weird, just disgusting story. No wonder it's been pulled. 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.080 And then I read it was just her saying I 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:53.640 was inspired by Elon Musk and the. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.480 Other actually the scenario you just mentioned earlier, Caleb, that 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:57.600 was actually real life. 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.160 I'm not just doing here. But the other thing that 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.480 a character, the same character says in this book, and 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.920 for this she's been deemed racist. Top of that, remember 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.480 this is just an author writing for a character. Now 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.240 you know there are racist characters in did you Did 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.719 you know that there is? Buddy Hell, there's even phobic 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.679 characters in books and movies and films. I suppose we're 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.840 going to have to cancel every actor who's played a 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.840 homophobic person or a racist person, you know, a very long, 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:37.200 a long list. But the offending line was, quote, shouldn't 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.240 there be a crew of people with questionable work visas 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.720 picking these grapes for us? Said that the hate crime, 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:45.320 it's got to go. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.919 The nylon should have gone. After I had finished realizing 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.720 that Elon Musk's five point strategy was anything but inspiring, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:57.120 but was in fact a quasi fascist neoliberal hate. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.200 Crime came out of mind. Case. 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.520 I then turned to my friend who is of African 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.000 American descent, even though I don't see color, and said 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:09.479 black lives matter. Then we went to the movies, but 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.879 I had to have a trigger warning because it was 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:16.960 gone with the wind. What do they want people to 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.399 talk about? But this is the thing, they're just trites. 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.880 Are just not very good at democracy. And that's the thing. 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.000 They're not very good at stopping Donald Trump from getting elected. 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.040 They're not very good at actually, you know, manipulating the 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.040 market in such a wack was that I actually believed 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.040 that the market should have a right to exist in 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.280 such a way that Tesla actually you know, collapses of 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.080 its own accord ie by it not buying Tesla's, which 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.800 is difficult because they were the ones who went out 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.639 and bought all the Tesla's, when having a Tesla was 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.399 a sign of virtue, signaling what are wealthy overprivileged inner 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.919 city was be to what you were instead of being what, 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.919 you know, an advocate of hate criminal and Trump supporter 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.679 Elon Muskular. And so the problem is that these are 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.080 the sort of people who have actually aid Elon Muster. 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.360 The billionaire is and now that they've bought all the Tesselas, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.680 they can't unbuy them, and they can't sell to anyone 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.399 else because no one else wants to buy them, and 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.320 so they just decided to blow them all up and 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.960 then do that dance. If you want to talk about 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.760 a hate crime pokey thing with all the all the 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.320 pink haired boomers kind of wiggling around with their sandwich board. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.200 It's a pretty good demonstration that is the mental state. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.439 Or you know, seeing your mom there, well you might 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.520 do so. But but this business of them going around 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:38.240 and fire bombing dealerships and just attacking innocent people's cars, 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.439 it's not just Dan, We're going to end up with 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.560 someone dead here, Like they are eventually going to get 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.879 the wrong car and it'll have someone in it, or 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.439 someone will be in a dealership later or something, and 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.480 they're going to kill someone. This is domestic terrorism. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.200 Well I think that is their aim, not to kill someone, 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:02.000 but inevitably there's already been people taken to hospital from 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.160 some of these protests. I watched a video just today 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.240 of a woman who was cut off in traffic. Men 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.760 jumped out of the car because she was driving a 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.600 Tesla and she's got all this recorded because she had 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.360 a dash can and this guy's trying to grab her 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:21.480 through the window. She was rightly, utterly terrified, and of 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:25.119 course people watching this take place it just like I 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:30.960 would be mad to drive my Tesla when the temperature. 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.360 Is this hot. 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.439 We've got people cutting them off in traffic, their cars 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.520 going up in flames, They're leaving them in a car park. 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:39.679 You're just getting your grossery. 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.680 Does come back to the mines to death with their mobility? 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.520 Is it any wonder? Check out this footage from a 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:55.000 car lot next to PERF car Sorry PERF Airport, which 0:20:55.080 --> 0:21:00.720 was taking by car industry expert Paul Marrick, pointing out 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.520 just how many Teslas are sitting in the car park 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.960 lot and nobody knows what to do with them because 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.879 nobody wants to buy them. You're just asking at the 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.919 moment to have your car either blown up, vandalized, or 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:20.119 heaven forbid, have a horrific instance like that poor woman 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:24.080 who was simply innocently driving along and these mugs in 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.520 this car in front of her cut her off and 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.440 decided to take it out on her personally. 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:33.639 No who drives a Tesla. Chris Bowen. So the next 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:34.399 time these. 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.480 Vilence, So the next time. 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:43.879 Some crazy knuckle dragging, violent eco terrorist trot wants to 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.600 attack someone in a tesla, they could be attacking the 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.560 actual climate change minister who is delivering net zero for 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.960 you lazy, no good, dirty footed hippies. 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.160 And who would have thought that it would take this 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.399 to get left wingers to hate electric vehicles, sir, we 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.080 would have done long time ago. And while we're talking 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.680 about vehicles, Spah thought for Belinda Lee Rose. She lives 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:09.040 on the Gold Coast. Her house is currently being renovated, 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:13.359 so while that's going on, she's been sleeping in her vehicle. Now, 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.879 she says her car was parked on her driveway. I 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.960 suspect it probably was on the part of the driveway 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.679 that includes council land, because the council came along and 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.000 gave her a fine more than eight hundred dollars for 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:31.000 daring to sleep in her own car outside of her 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:31.800 own house. 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:37.680 Here, she is explaining, they issued me with this notice 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:42.680 and is unlawful camping in a public place, which carries 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.240 an eight hundred and six dollar fine. 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.240 Where was I parked? I'm happy you asked on my 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:52.919 property in my driveway. Let's not pay attention to the 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.520 fact that I pay over three thousand dollars in council 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.800 rate for my property that I purchased, and not to 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.720 the fact that I pay registration cost and road costs 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:06.119 for my vehicle to be on the road. 0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:09.760 I mean, what a joke. Why can't you sleep in 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.840 your own car? Anyway? I understand you might come into 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:14.919 a problem if you've got you know, one hundred and 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.600 twenty people all lined up sleeping in their cars and 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.479 turning the local park into an encampment. But that's not 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.280 what we're talking about here. We're talking about one woman 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.560 out the front of her house, which is being renovated, 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:28.760 sleeping in her car, and some council officer comes knocks 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.760 on the window. She's eight hundred and six dollars thanks now, 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.520 thankfully the Gold Coast Mere Tom Tat has now said 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.199 he's looking into it. Since so there's been public attention 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.000 put on it. But you know, you give some people 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.720 an ounce of power, Liz, and they just take it 0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:47.840 so far they become so overly officious. What makes what is. 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.240 The extra sickening about this is one of her neighbors 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.880 had to have dogged a rim so when they came 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:57.000 and knocked on her door. She obviously wasn't sleeping in 0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:00.919 the car at that time, but some one had to 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.280 have noticed that she was doing this. 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:04.920 It was the same person in the WhatsApp. 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:10.960 Chaselve clearly taken upon themselves to call up the council 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:16.240 and say, this woman, who obviously isn't homeless, she must 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.560 own the place because she's renoing it for crying out loud. 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.879 So they've taken it upon themselves to call up the 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:27.520 council and dab in this woman who's simply, in a 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.159 very creative way, trying to get around the fact that 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.520 her house is doing an extensive reno at the moment. 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:33.440 And heck, why. 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.800 Wouldn't you take advantage of your own free accommodation. It's 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.480 like a granny flat, but it's in the front, not 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:41.120 the back, and mobile. 0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:41.720 Grastead of it. 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:44.199 Yeah, the backyard you want for this again? I mean, 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:46.160 if if she was homeless, it would be even worse. 0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:48.119 And I happen to know quite a lot about this 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.679 because one of the things I did to help raise 0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.920 money in whares for the Salvos twenty years ago is 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.479 basically the beginning of my relationship with them was I 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.879 slept in the car. It actually belonged to a Salvo's 0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.600 worker and he gave me his beat up old car 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:08.280 and I slept in it for a night and then 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:10.919 filmed it to show how more and more people are 0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.520 living cars because people homeless. People being forced to live 0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:15.600 in their cars is actually one of the fastest growing, 0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:19.600 highest growing areas of homelessness. Is a massive, massive concern, 0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:22.760 and so we did that and generated heaps of it. 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.240 Was the biggest story in the Daily Telegraph that day. 0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:28.000 But just since then, I've just been hyper aware of 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.200 the number of people doing it. We said all the time, 0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:33.560 there's a whole bunch in the street where I live, 0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:37.160 basically just down the road. And again people are being 0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:38.800 forced to do this in the middle of the cost 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:44.080 of living crisis, the idea on public or private land, whatever, 0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:47.560 the idea that a council officer or a council will 0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.680 be going around finding people for that. I mean, she's 0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:52.240 I suppose one of the lucky ones in that she's 0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.120 renovating her home. But imagine handing out fines to someone 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.560 that can't afford to live anywhere but the front seat 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:00.800 of their car. I mean that is just consfionable. I 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:04.000 mean anyone who could go through with doing that and 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.560 not actually, so, hang on a minute, should we really 0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.600 be doing this? So hopefully Tom Tait gets the bottom 0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:11.600 of it, puts a broom through the joint and make 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.159 sure that this is never happening anywhere again, because certainly 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.919 the local council where we are actually allows these people 0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.439 to live as they live, even protects them and sort 0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:22.800 of moves them on because they were in a flood 0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:25.280 zone for a while. So yeah, it's not perfect. In 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.280 a perfect world they'd be living, wouldn't be living their 0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:30.159 cars at all. But for the love of God, counsels 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.320 should be helping these people, not trying to slap even 0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:34.199 more penalties on them. 0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.520 What are they want tent cities like Brisbane? 0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:39.680 Like, if you're not making a nuisance out of yourself, 0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:42.840 why can't you sleep in your own car? I slept 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.320 in my car once out of necessity because I was 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:47.719 caught short on a drive from Adelaide to Sydney. It 0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:50.000 was a fee of five hundred by the way I 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:51.359 got into the passages. 0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:54.000 It wasn't because he'd knocked over too many Crown lagas well. 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.119 Well, I got to I got to Wogga Wogga, and 0:26:58.160 --> 0:26:59.520 it was nine o'clock at night, and I thought I 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.160 can't the journey through the Sydney side. Stopped and cracked 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:04.840 open a bottle of red and in the campground in 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.879 Waga Woga, and then climbed into the passenger seat in 0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:10.239 the five hundred and wound it back and slept in it. 0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:12.560 I can't tell you it wasn't terribly comfortable. But this 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.760 is the reality that a lot of people face now 0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:16.639 that they have to live in their cars. And if 0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:18.879 you're not making a nuisance out of yourself, you should 0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:21.120 not be stopped from doing so. I mean, do even 0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:24.840 think My grandparents had a motor home once, and they 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.320 came and pulled up at the front of our place 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.320 in Adelaide and stayed the night in the motor home. 0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.840 And by doing so, they apparently are committing some sort 0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.400 of an offense because they're camping at a public place 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.920 by sleeping in their vehicle. The idea that that is 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.119 illegal in the first place, I just find ridiculous. My 0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:43.879 granddie's did the same. They absolutely loved it. 0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:46.840 They do these massive road trips and come visit mum 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.600 every time she had a baby. I think Grandma before 0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.879 committing to that custom didn't know Mum intended to have 0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:55.840 seven of us, and so they ended up making a 0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.560 lot of troops around Australia while they were based up 0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:02.120 in Chi. That's a lot of illegal park indeed, indeed, 0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:05.360 but the rules were different back then as they should be. 0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:08.639 Now to France now where in the latest blow to 0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:13.080 European democracy, Marie Lapan, who's leading the polls to win 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:17.240 the presidency in France in twenty twenty seven, has been 0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:22.800 sent to prison for four years. The charge I'm glad 0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:28.800 you asked embezzlement of European Parliament funds on a vast scale. 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:30.040 Do you believe it? 0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:32.359 While we're about to find out. 0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.760 If she is on French TV this morning saying she 0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:38.960 will be appealing this and fighting it all the way. 0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:41.479 Zushi Kombatchieva, I'm a fighter. 0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:44.000 I'm not going to let myself be eliminated like that. 0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:47.000 I'm going to pursue every avenue of recourse i can. 0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:49.680 There's a small path. It may be narrow, but it 0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:52.240 does exist. In fact, I'm going to ask in the 0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:55.440 clearest possible way for the appealed decision to be handed down, 0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.440 enabling me to consider running in the presidential election. I 0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:00.840 will always stand by the French. 0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.520 Go your hardest, Lapen. This is her fourth run for 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:09.040 the presidency and she's never been doing better in the 0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:12.400 polls than now. Why because one of her biggest stances 0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:18.120 is anti immigration and what does Europe want less of immigration? 0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:21.800 So she's soaring in the polls, her opponents have to 0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:25.480 take her out somehow. And where have we seen this? Well, 0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.680 just two weeks ago Romania did the same thing. The 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:32.840 guy who had won their first round of elections they 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.560 have a very weird system over there, and was looking 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.280 set to win the second round. Well, they just came 0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:41.120 up with some charges against him and he's ruled out 0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:44.440 of running now as well. And didn't we also see 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:48.120 this with the case of one Donald Trump. Yet he 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:53.040 was elected president with a treasure trove of criminal cases 0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:56.560 hanging over his head, none of it they could get 0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:59.320 to stick. And I bet my bottom dollar the same 0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:03.880 will happen with Leapen. How is it possible that anyone 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:07.520 actually falls for this? And the troubling thing about this 0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:11.320 trend of just taking out your political opponents somehow is 0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:16.440 that you're messing with something no democratic system should mess with. 0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:19.720 The Only people who can get rid of an elected 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:24.479 representative because she is already is the people, not your 0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.880 political opponents. You start going through your dirty laundry or 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:31.320 just making it up and trying to find a way 0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:35.000 to eliminate you and therefore to entrench their own power. 0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.760 What this does is once people perceive that democracy is 0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:43.400 just a farce and anyone standing up to the current 0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:47.800 system is being arrested and carted off, you're just inviting 0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:49.240 anarchy in your own country. 0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.720 Well, this embezzlement that she's been convicted of is essentially 0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:58.120 that she and others in her party employed staffers in 0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:01.240 the European Parliament and then use those staff as to 0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:04.520 work on domestic politics. Ie, they weren't doing much work 0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:07.680 in the European Parliament. That's what they've called embuslement. We 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:11.200 had a case exactly like that in Australia. It's called 0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:17.680 Redshoets in Victoria. Daniel Andrews in opposition. He denied any 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.560 knowledge of it, but his opposition, when he was leading 0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:25.600 it and was then elected, used parliamentary staff on company 0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:30.640 time parliamentary time to go out and campaign in Labor Merch. 0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:33.240 They did it. No one in the Labor Party was 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:37.040 convicted or charged or anything happened there. And you can't 0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:39.560 tell me that this is the first time that anyone 0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:42.080 in the history of Europe has employed someone in the 0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:44.280 European Parliament and then said to them, all, you know, 0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:47.400 we've got a rally on the weekend in France. Can 0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:49.800 you come along and do some work there instead of 0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:52.959 doing work in the European Parliament. This stuff goes on 0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:57.280 all the time in all facets of politics. Every party 0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.760 does it in some way, shape or form. But of 0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:03.239 course you've got Marine Lapine, You've got a Marine la 0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:04.040 Pine letting. 0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.760 The Red Shirts were in the same jurisdiction though like 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.440 at least they were actually operating issue sorry, rather than 0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:11.840 taking money from say New Zealand. 0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:15.120 Or well, France is in euros. But the threat, of 0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:18.560 course is that Marine Lapin went from thirty four percent 0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:21.880 of the presidential vote in twenty seventeen to forty one 0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.280 point four five percent in twenty twenty two. And in 0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:28.440 the legislative election they had last year, and maybe this 0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:30.840 two round thing as well. But in France, in the 0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:33.240 first round their vote was up fourteen and a half percent, 0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:35.480 and in the second round it was up eighty, so 0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:39.040 nineteen point eight percent. So they can see that La 0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.880 pen is a serious political threat and may well win 0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:45.240 the presidential election in twenty twenty seven. So they've gone, well, 0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:46.960 we're just going to take the opportunity to try and 0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:47.240 take her. 0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:47.480 Yeah. 0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:48.640 I mean, the thing is, I mean I have no 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:51.959 problem obviously with I mean, elected officials get prosecuted for 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.040 crimes all the time, and that's there's provisions in Australia 0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:56.560 where if you get convicted of a crime I think 0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:58.520 that carries more than a one year jail sentence, you're 0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.360 automatically disqualified from parts, same as if you're bankrupt, so 0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:03.280 you don't even have to commit a crime. If you're bankrupt, 0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.080 you don't allowed to sit in the parliament. But the 0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:08.400 question I always ask is, and the same with Donald Trump, 0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:10.120 I have no idea that I have no doubt that 0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:14.360 he was guilty of the campaign fraud or whatever it 0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:16.840 was he was convicted of. The point is how politically 0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:19.200 stupid it is to do that and to pursue these 0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.280 people and to make martyrs of them, because it looks 0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:23.920 like it does look, it makes it look like the 0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.440 electorate that firstly, the electorate's never going to believe they're 0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:29.160 guilty anyway, it's believe that they do it. And secondly, 0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:32.320 they're going to believe that they're so powerful and so popular, 0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:34.440 which means makes everyone think that they're on the side 0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.680 of right and the side of history. They're going after 0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:38.080 them and the court is the only way to get it. 0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:41.640 So it just strikes me, notwithstanding the legal status of 0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:44.480 any of this, but it just is so politically stupid. 0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:46.680 And you would think after you saw what happened with 0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:50.040 Donald Trump, and you know, that infamous mugshot and that 0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:53.440 infamous prosecution basically gave him a platform to stand on 0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:55.320 where it didn't really have one, like it really put 0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:57.200 lead in his pencils. Is what he's going to fight for. 0:33:57.280 --> 0:33:58.960 This is why I was going to fight the system, 0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.440 and they just go and repeat the formula in the US. 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:05.320 I just wonder in France, I just wonder, like, who's 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:07.560 running these guys, who's advising them? Certainly not me. 0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:11.280 Seems silly, doesn't it now. I was reading the ABC 0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:13.040 today and you might say, why the hell are you 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:14.799 doing that? But I do it every now and again 0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:16.720 because I think it pays to keep an eye. 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:19.520 On what the is a subscription to the Saturday paper. 0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.320 That one was I've got to go for the free version. 0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:25.440 Well it's not free, actually I am paying for it, 0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:27.359 so I figure I may as well get some use 0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:30.200 out of it and juno over there. Obviously, I didn't 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:32.640 have too much to do today or yesterday, and thought, oh, 0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:34.960 what can we do. I'll go and ask an academic 0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:38.200 whether swearing in front of children is bad. Now the 0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:41.840 answer they've come back with is not really according to 0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:46.160 the story, it's is swearing around children isn't bad for them. 0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:48.600 They don't take offense to it, It doesn't cause them any 0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:55.120 psychological harm. But swearing at children, says either commonis can 0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:58.600 be a form of emotional abuse and linked to harmful 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:02.040 outcomes for some children. She's a clinical psychologist, and I 0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:05.200 would have thought that is a statement of the bleeding obvious. 0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:08.160 But it was a good excuse, nevertheless, to show you 0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:11.759 this clip out of the UK of a kid who 0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:15.880 is asked at a panto whether their parents ever swear, 0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:20.120 and well that the kid was rather forthcoming. Have you 0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:22.960 ever used any bad words. 0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:24.600 Like bar or humbug? 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:33.319 Out of the mouths of babes a bit. It was 0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:34.200 interesting one. 0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:36.560 Of our bosses for having audience interaction. 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.200 I know that's the best part of pandomas I used 0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:41.439 to do pandos years ago back in Adelaide, and there's 0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:43.960 such great fun. They should be everywhere bringing back. But 0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.880 one of our bosses was saying earlier, you know, is 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:50.120 that the footy recently with kids around, and it was 0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:53.360 all these people swearing and carrying on. And some viewers 0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:55.120 may not know, but I swear like a trooper when 0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.000 I'm not on air. I'm not as perfect as you 0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:59.680 think I actually am. I'm not their shot. 0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:05.880 He swears it impeccable English, correct, his properdiction and the 0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:08.800 beautiful the high Adelaide access. 0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:11.560 That it works. It just gives it an extra element. 0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:14.040 But but he had to ask people to, you know, 0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:17.080 not swear so much because there are so many kids around. 0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:19.560 It does raise can you swear around kids or not? 0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:23.399 I think it's a matter of opinion. Certainly, in my household, 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.680 swearing we were always taught is a sign of a 0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:29.239 lack of intelligence, because my mum would always be like, 0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:36.520 if peoples properly without using these four letter words, So 0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:40.080 as a kid, I swear I was genuinely like, oh, 0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:41.080 that person stupid. 0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:43.320 I can then conficiently confirm that my house is the 0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:47.440 dumbest house in Australia. 0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:49.200 And mine would probably be second dumbest on that front. 0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:51.839 But I don't think that's quite so true. After the break, 0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:55.080 we'll get into the paper's shocking story about the school 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:58.440 in Sydney that is allowing children to opt out of 0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:02.920 participating in an and why would you wonder why no 0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.080 one wants to sign up for the retreat? That's more, 0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:14.600 after the break, let's get stuck into the papers. Joe, 0:37:14.640 --> 0:37:16.960 you have the front page of your erstwhile employees. 0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:19.680 I do. Indeed, the Telly's got an absolute cracker of 0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:24.560 a splash tomorrow out of respect. See what they did there. 0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:27.400 Calls for state to step in as school lets kids 0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:31.360 opt out of ANZAC day. A decision by a Sydney 0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:34.200 primary school to allow students to opt out of an 0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:38.400 ANZAC service has sparked outrage among parents and veterans, with 0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:42.680 calls for the state government to intervene to ensure quote 0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:46.560 the sacrifices of those who served and died are never forgotten. 0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:50.440 Incredible story and just that headline is just fantastic. Out 0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:53.239 of respect. So we need to you know, we need 0:37:53.280 --> 0:37:55.800 to pay our respects to the ANZACs, out of respect 0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:59.800 to them, but also theols. The school is out of respect. 0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:03.600 They're opting. You're not out of respect, respect of respect. 0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:07.239 It's particulous. So this is the schools in Kellyville. It's 0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:11.600 called would be more patriot I know Sherwood Ridge Primary School. 0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:14.600 But apparently the dealer here is that there's a small 0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:17.640 number of Christian students who belong to a group called 0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:22.359 the Exclusive Brethren, and they don't commemorate war, and so 0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:25.280 they've been allowed to opt out. I don't care what 0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:29.080 your religion is, what your beliefs are. Anzac Day does 0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:33.600 not commemorate war. It is us giving thanks to people 0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:37.080 who put their lives on the line and also lost 0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:40.560 their lives in defense of our country. That's not to 0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:44.840 commemorate or celebrate war. It's to celebrate human life, is 0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:45.120 it not? 0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:50.160 It is? And look, if you have, if you're Exclusive Brethren, 0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:52.920 just keep your kids home that day. Why are you 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:56.560 involving the school and school? Why are you letting them 0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.160 just say? Look, we're not letting anyone opt out, But 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:01.319 if you want to keep, you get at home that day. 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:05.960 It's your kid that's entirely up to you. The fact 0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:10.399 that any leeway has been given with regards to this 0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:13.960 is just absolutely disgusting. How about the state government just 0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:17.960 closed the school down altogether? Because if that is how 0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:22.520 happy you are to have kids in your patch that 0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:26.760 do not recognize our fallen soldiers and respect those who's 0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:31.400 the benefits of their sacrifice you enjoy every single flipping 0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:34.239 day of your life and will until the day you die, 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:35.560 then sod it. 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:37.080 Why to opt out of education? 0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:37.960 Yeah? 0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:44.719 English because colonial a bit white supremacist. 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.280 I wish I'd found a religion that disagreed with maths. 0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:52.080 Maths is racist. Do you know that? Look it up 0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:53.880 and just google art you think I'm joking. 0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.680 To the front page of the Mercury Now News, stop 0:39:57.000 --> 0:40:01.000 Search bill debate propose new laws allow police to search 0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:04.200 anyone they suspect might be carrying a knife. Represent a 0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:09.040 quote significant and dangerous increase in police powers end quote, 0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:13.440 The Australian Lawyer's Alliance says, the Police Offenses Amendment knives. 0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:16.440 Another weapons bill was tabled in the House of Assembly 0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:19.920 on Tuesday. The new laws allow police to search people 0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:23.759 in a public place if they reasonably suspect they are 0:40:23.840 --> 0:40:27.160 carrying a knife. It says refusing to be searched is 0:40:27.200 --> 0:40:30.640 grounds for reasonable suspicion, So if you refuse to be searched, 0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:34.320 then you definitely have to be searched. And it also 0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:37.319 raises the penalty for possessing or carrying a knife in 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:42.360 public to up to two years in jail. This is 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:46.719 a very interesting one because it inarguably impedes on people's 0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:51.480 well just your right to get around without the police 0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:54.280 coming up to you and being like, well, for whatever reasons, 0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:55.879 we want to search you right now. 0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:59.040 Well, they basically just legislated away the requirement for a 0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:01.799 warrant for any kind of search, because all they need 0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:03.920 to do is say, well, we reasonably suspect you have 0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:06.120 a knife on you, and you'll say, well, I don't 0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:08.000 want to be searched, and then they go, well, that's 0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:11.200 reasonable suspicion, so now we're going out. And then when 0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:13.560 they do it, they may will find not a knife, 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:16.000 but something else on your person, like drugs or whatever 0:41:16.040 --> 0:41:18.120 it might be, and you might say, well, you shouldn't 0:41:18.120 --> 0:41:20.160 be getting around with drugs or a knife. Et cetera. 0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:23.200 And I agree you shouldn't be getting around with it. 0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:26.080 But surely if you are to be searched by police, 0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:27.799 they ought to have a warrant to do so. 0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:30.280 Well, you kind of think, you know, you could almost 0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:32.160 sort of do an identic picture of the people that 0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:34.520 would just be searching again and again and again and again. 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:38.000 I can't imagine they'd be searching too many lawyers outside 0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:42.400 the Hobart court House or policy outside the Tasmanian parlut. 0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:43.640 They what if they wanted to look for cocaine. 0:41:43.680 --> 0:41:46.480 Well, that's right exactly. But yeah, I think it is 0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:48.759 a little bit concerning. I mean, I know there was 0:41:49.400 --> 0:41:52.080 laws proposed in New South Wales. I'm not sure where 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:54.560 they're at. Where there's just a spate of nice knife 0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:57.160 crime and cops are really struggling to keep up with that. 0:41:57.200 --> 0:42:00.560 And there were cases where it's absolutely obvious to all 0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:03.400 and sundry that kids were up to no good and 0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:05.400 we're packing knives and the cops that we just need 0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:07.239 the powers to be able to stop and search, and 0:42:07.320 --> 0:42:10.319 so you kind of think you need to make sure 0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:14.359 the cops have the power to do what they need 0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:16.759 to do when it's just obvious that you know these 0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.480 kids are running in gangs where they're all packing knives. 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:22.080 But again, do you really want I mean, I'm not 0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.480 sure what's happening in the bad lands of Hobart. I 0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:28.239 know this this came after a terrible case savving death 0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:32.280 in twenty nineteen. But unless this is an endemic problem 0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:35.799 that no other measure has been able to solve, you 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:40.120 kind of think It's always said that making laws just 0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:42.520 on the basis of one single example instead of what's 0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:43.680 happening over is often. 0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:45.920 Yeah, and it often happens. But and the problem is, 0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:47.960 you know, you give up one freedom, you give up 0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:49.920 one freedom, you give up one freedom, you give up 0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:52.160 one freedom for the greater good, and then one day 0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:55.960 you wake up with no freedom whatsoever. Unfortunately, Cracking Yan 0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:59.360 on the front of the Herald Sun Tomorrow by Anthony 0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:01.720 dowsleaks exclusive He's one of the best in the business 0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:02.840 of the knives. 0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:04.279 There could be a few in this guy's back. 0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:10.120 Top cop gone again. Victoria's acting Chief Commissioner, Rick Nugent 0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:14.080 has sensationally quit the force after just forty one days 0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:16.520 in the top job. The heralds sound can reveal mister 0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.840 Newsent informed the Allen government on Tuesday afternoon he wanted 0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:23.799 to depart as soon as possible, citing the stress of 0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:29.040 the job. There's also allegations of apparently inappropriate conduct involving 0:43:29.040 --> 0:43:32.520 a conflict of interest during a previous stint as a 0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:34.280 commissioner that have been coming before. 0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:36.880 The iback, didn't you hear, Caleb was the stress of 0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:38.440 the job and it has nothing to do with the 0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:42.960 allegations of inappropriate conduct. You know the funny it wouldn't 0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:43.840 make the jobs. 0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:47.600 The funny thing here, of course, is that the Allen 0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:52.200 government pushed out the previous commissioner, then they handpicked this 0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:55.120 bloke and then he said, see you later, I'm out 0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:57.319 of here. Things are going really well for the Allen 0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:58.240 government's relationship. 0:43:58.320 --> 0:44:00.799 Well, it beats the question what's really going on here 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:02.960 because we know with these resignations you never get the 0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:07.440 full story, and obviously the assumption is being created or 0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:10.680 it's got something to do with these other allegations. Who 0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:13.920 knows if that's true. And yet we know the former 0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:17.480 guy was turfed and wasn't too happy about it and 0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:20.440 had his own story. But again you never get told 0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.919 the full story, but the idea of it wonders what 0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:27.200 is the state of the force that these guys are 0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:29.560 just falling Like Domino's. 0:44:29.480 --> 0:44:32.799 The idea that a top cop who's previously served in 0:44:32.840 --> 0:44:36.680 the role suddenly after forty one days. I didn't realize 0:44:36.680 --> 0:44:38.560 how stressful it was going to about. I mean, that 0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:42.000 just does not pass the pub test, and it just 0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:45.600 it's just fascical. Victoria is just a foul state. But 0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:47.360 if we could just look at the picture of the 0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:49.919 guy again, if we could pull up the Herald's Sun 0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:55.640 Harold's on front page again, if we've got it great 0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.560 to see that Peter Beatty has found life after politics. 0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:01.319 He is actually, if you. 0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:03.960 Squint it, Peter Betty has never been inappropriate. 0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:06.440 And look, if it was Peter Betty, you could fully 0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:08.120 understand why he's not getting along wer. 0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:12.640 Right because he's incredibly sensible, the right side of laid pad. 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.960 I'm getting the advertiser now we have and we basically 0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:19.480 just did this for the song Don's bad Medicine? Who 0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:25.000 shake it up to sack bad medicine? Albow doesn't vow 0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:27.560 to fight Trump attack on subsidized treatment. Yes, it's another 0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:31.680 unity ticket. Darts has agreed with Albo yet again, Anthony 0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:34.000 ALBERDEESI and Peter Darton on a rare Well, it's not 0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:36.879 that rare. This is Claire Armstrong actually, so Claire, whatever 0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:39.520 you say is absolutely correct, your Great recorder, on a 0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:42.680 rare election unity ticket, with both declaring that Australia's medicine 0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:46.480 subsidies and biosecurity protections are not up for debate as 0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:50.440 the threat of Trump administration tariff's loom. So there you go. 0:45:50.560 --> 0:45:52.799 Peter Darton backed in the eight point five billion dollar 0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.440 medicare package, backed in the one hundred and fifty power cuts, 0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:58.080 did not back in the tax cuts, but he's backing 0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:03.360 the government on not negotiating over the PBS chief medicines. 0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.840 I know the pharmaceutical why election again? Good point. I 0:46:06.880 --> 0:46:09.440 know the pharmaceutical companies in the US don't like it. 0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:12.319 But you know we're just using our collective power to 0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:15.080 force them, strong arm them to sell it to us 0:46:15.080 --> 0:46:17.200 for a cheaper price, don't I know what? 0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:19.560 I'm set that? 0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:22.640 All right, let's go to a break, shall we. After that, 0:46:23.280 --> 0:46:26.960 we found the answer. We're going to stop everyone from smoking. 0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:30.000 The federal government has done it today. I'll tell you 0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:30.400 what it is. 0:46:30.440 --> 0:46:30.799 After this. 0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:37.160 One number you mightn't heard out of the federal budget recently, 0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:40.280 is that the federal government has lost more than fourteen 0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:43.480 billion dollars in the tobacco excise. And that's not because 0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.040 everyone's given up smoking. It's because they've all gone to 0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:48.600 the illegal cigarettes, the top chop that you can get 0:46:48.600 --> 0:46:52.480 for twenty bucks or less inconvenience stores on every corner 0:46:52.560 --> 0:46:57.359 in basically every street in this country. People, well, yeah, right, 0:46:57.920 --> 0:46:59.920 they will have done that to which is again illegal 0:47:00.200 --> 0:47:03.080 apparently because you know, why would we have smoking cessation 0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:06.800 aids available? But the federal government has found the silver 0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:10.440 bullet to get people to stop smoking once and for all. 0:47:10.560 --> 0:47:12.040 So you got past the. 0:47:12.520 --> 0:47:13.960 Packet of it. And if they're losing all that money, 0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:16.000 shouldn't they be getting them starting smoking again. 0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:20.880 It'd be contributing more tax.
