1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Oliver Peterson six PR Perth Live Presenters with us Ali Hey, Heather,

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: I can not at all a surprise that Albanez has

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: taken this position.

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 2: Right, It's not a surprise, and he said he had

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: a very short and sharp conversation with Benjamin Etnia who

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: in the last.

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 3: Couple of days.

8
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: But Australia will recognize the right of the Palestinian people

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: to a state of their own, which is predicated on

10
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: the commitments Australias received from the Palestine authority. Prime Minister

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: arguing that this is the best chance for peace in

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Gaza and he will take this to the United Nations

13
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: General Assembly in New York next month when that official

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: recognition will be made. He's made it very clear there

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: is to be no role of Hamas in any Palestinian

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: state moving forward. But a big change I suppose in

17
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: what Australia is acknowledging a Palestinian state and policy direction

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: from the governments. Prime Minister though, was saying again that

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: this is the best chance for peace and that he

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: will be taking this forward.

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Is he going to get broad support for this or not?

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 3: Look, I think he will gets I don't know.

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: That's a very very good question that you ask, Heather,

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: because he will get broad support within his own rank

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: and file. Yes, the opposition is already saying you cannot

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: do this, and I think Australians are on the fence

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: with this at the moment. I do believe that a

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: lot of Australians are very concerned about what he's continuing

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: to go on in Gaza at the moment. But I

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: think it's a little bit I hate to say this,

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: out of side, out of mind for a lot of

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: Australians at the moment, and it's been going on for

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: so long that it just it almost unfortunately get swept

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: under the carpet, which it shouldn't be done. But this

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: is a bold statement obviously the Prime Minister, and as

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: I said, he's been under an internal pressure even going

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: back to the days of the former Foreign Minister Bob Carr.

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: He put this forward back in twenty.

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: Fourteen at the Labor National Conference and he's been advocating

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: at every opportunity that this would happen. So I think

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: it'll be very interesting and when I jump on with

42
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: my show a little later today here on six, power'll

43
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: be very interesting to hear what the took back in

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: the feedback's.

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Like, did we get much deeper tell on what that

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: phone call with BB was like.

47
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: No, he wouldn't go into much detail at all, other

48
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: than he's had the call. He's let him know what

49
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: he thinks and why this is going to happen.

50
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: He said that.

51
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: Countries like Australia that as you've heard now Benjamin Etna,

52
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: who's come out and criticized Anthony Albanese before that, saying

53
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: to have European countries and Australia march into that rabbit

54
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: hole just like that.

55
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: He's disappointing and it's actually shameful.

56
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: So Penny Wog our Foreign Minister, she's also been on

57
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: the phone to Marco Rubio of the Trump administration to

58
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: let him know. And obviously, as we know, we are

59
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 2: in a very interesting situation politically with the Trump administration

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: over the Orchest Deal. Whether this declaration by the Australian

61
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: governments in any way jeopardizes any of that or did

62
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: it have any conversations with the Trump administration before Anthony

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: Albanese he made that call this morning.

64
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Hey, I am shocked that your evs don't pay road

65
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: user charges.

66
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: Well, see we're copying you we're copying what you're doing

67
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: in New z So we're going to look at that.

68
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: We've got that big roundtable, this whole Productivity Commission roundtable

69
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: thing that a Jim Chalmers is trying to get everybody

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: talking about what we can do to make the country

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: more productive.

72
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: He wants to scrap the fuel excise.

73
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: And put on that road user charge, which I know

74
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: you announced in New Zealand just last week. I assume

75
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: we're probably going to be basically copying what you are doing,

76
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: because that's what we do. New Zealand does something good,

77
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: we take it, we do it, we claim it as

78
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: our own. So the idea is that we'll get rid

79
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: of the fifty one six cents a lead a fuel excise.

80
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: And yeah, the EV's obviously, I meant everyone's buying evs

81
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: at hybrids at the moment, so you have to pay

82
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: a bit more.

83
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: But you know what, I think it's fair. You use

84
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: the roads, you pay.

85
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: For it, mate, It's beyond fair. Those things are pothole makers.

86
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: I totally think so Holland heavy yees so heavy mate,

87
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,640
