1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Small update on what I said this time yesterday on

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: pay equity see my gut says and upset it a

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: couple of times. Now. This isn't going to damage the government. Now,

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. If I was the opposition, I'd

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: be prosecuting this as hard as it possibly could the

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: way they are, in fact, because they have a genuine

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: issue and ongoing issue at least until the budget that

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: they quite rightly believe is there for the taking in

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: terms of points and headlines and moral high ground. Now

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that ultimately is true, but I fully

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: get that they think it is. The tide though turned

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: yesterday in Question Time, not because Brook van Velden dropped

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: the sea word. Watching it live, it really was quite

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the moment. Question Time has become dour. As I said

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: earlier on in the program, there's limited talent in the

16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: House these days, and the speaker's cantankerous and ruins the fund.

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: But yesterday was alive with freshan. Van Velden's might drop

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: moment was in fact pointing out that Jantinetti, the questioner,

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: a former woman's minister, a woman who railed against misogyny,

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: was using misogyny by quoting a misogynistic cart authored by

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: a woman to make her point. That led to applause

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: and rightly soa and further exposed the Labour Party and

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: in fact most of the Opposition benches as frauds who

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: are arguing the pay equity issue using bogus material and

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: fake facts. The more this is debated, the more hope

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: you have that a wider grouping of us will tune

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: in and get into the detail, because it's in the

28
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: detail the truth lies, and the truth is the equity

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: laws or rules were a shambles and being milked by unions,

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: an example of which was just given on this program

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 1: a couple of moments ago. But the tide turned also

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: are because there seems genuine anger within the government over

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: what Andrea Vantce was allowed to do. And when I

34
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: say aloud, I assume she's edited and therefore cleared. The

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: odd thing for me is I struggle to get upset

36
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: at being attacked. I mean, being a public figure, you

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: are open for this sort of stuff, and I've received

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: more than most its water off a duck's back, especially

39
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: from an angsty journalist Van Velden Collins and as Vance

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: calls them, the hype squad seem though, and you saw

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: this yesterday, seem genuinely outraged. And it's that outrage that

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: turned or at least will don the dial. If they

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: argue on fact and the other side continue to argue

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: on emotion using Li's bogus material and foul language, they

45
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: will eventually lose. Hints the dent that so many thought

46
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: was coming for the government will never arrive. For more

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: from the mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to news talks

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: it'd be from six am weekdays, or follow the podcast

49
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio.
