I love it. 14 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: Okay, I've only got halfway through, but I'll go back 15 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: and find it and pick it up. It was a 16 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: challenge because I'm younger than a generation exit. Anyways, talk 17 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: to me about this big economic roundtable in Canberra. What 18 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: have we got from it? 19 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: Well, look today we had Look, it's a round table business, 20 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: union's government, the community sector. It got in the way 21 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: this morning. Three days of all of this. And first 22 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: that was a presentation from the Governor of the Reserve Bank, 23 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Michelle Bullock. And look, she emphasized the importance heather of 24 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: domestic measures to boost productivity, you get the economy ticking 25 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: over again a lot more strongly, boosting living standards. She 26 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: spoke about globalhead wins. That was something that the Treasurer 27 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,919 Speaker 1: Jim Charmers also spoke about his opening address, International risks, 28 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: particularly disruptions to global trade and sort of dominated by Washington. 29 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, I mean, the Prime Minister Anthony Ebernez, 30 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: he says this, all the good ideas to come out 31 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: of this three day conference will be embraced very quickly 32 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: by the government. But the opposition points out quite rightly 33 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: that's going to be a bit difficult because Elbow's taken 34 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: off the table things like any reform of the tax 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: system at least at this point, and there's no overhaul 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: promised of industrial relations. So as far as the oppositions 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: concerned and business leaders do, say, can you, Bunny Well 38 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: cut red tape, we are strangling in this stuff. Free 39 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: up the economy a bit and watch us go. But Elbow, 40 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: he's going to squander this massive majority he's got. That's 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: the big fear of it. 42 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: Ah, they always do, don't they. Hey, what do you 43 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: make of this blocking of the Israeli politician? 44 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Well, It's divided Australia, no doubt. The Jewish community says, well, 45 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, how come, but the government is not backing down. 46 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: He's a far right member of the coalition that runs 47 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: Israel with Benjamin Naho. His name is Simpcha Rothman. He is, 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: as I say, very hard right. He is spoken about, 49 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: for example, guards and children as enemies of Israel and 50 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: that was a step too far for the federal government. 51 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: It said that he's been banned from his speaking to it. 52 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: Here the Australian newspapers said had seen documents that say 53 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: Rothman's been banned for his comments that mentioned that you know, 54 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: the kids or enemies, but because his inflammatory remarks quite 55 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: could disrupt the Australian Muslim community. Well, you know, maybe 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 1: the case. The government hasn't mentioned that. But Tony Burke, 57 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: the minister involved here, he's the Home Affairs said listen, 58 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: this guy is the right wing rat bag spouting nonsense. 59 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: He's not welcome. 60 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: Maz okay, tell me why you think this is a 61 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: hideous palace. 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Well, I'll just paint the picture. This was a beautiful 63 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: piece of pristine bush south from Sydney, a river on 64 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: one side, trees and birds and koalas everywhere, and it 65 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: was all been stripped. Nearly four thousand plants, six hundred 66 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: mature trees, all gone, illegally gone because this fella he's 67 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: a developer. Now, look, there are good developers, I understand, 68 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: both of them are currently working nicely, but the vast 69 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: majority apparently are rat bags. This bloke, this bloke, he 70 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: wanted to put a six bedroom mansion on this thing. 71 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: How I guess are some of the inclusions. He wanted 72 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: a gym, a sauna, he wanted, a man cave, a 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: popcorn bar, he wanted six a tenpin bowling alley and 74 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: indoor basketball court, a library, a big pool that included 75 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: a floating quote hammock island. I'd ask and about that 76 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: a hammock island. Bugget of mine o too. But in 77 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: any event, not only did he not get permission from counseling, 78 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: now is to pay back around and ten thousand dollars 79 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: and promised to replant all these native plants and trees. 80 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: The local people down there, who took this matter up 81 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: with the council said, are you kidding? This guy spends 82 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: that for lunch? What are you talking about? This lovely 83 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: bit of boosh, that's home to Koalas and all the 84 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: rest of it has gone, maybe forever, because how's this 85 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: guy going to restore that lovely piece of bush land? 86 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: He did own the land, but he'd been banned from 87 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: clearing it and has had the people before him who 88 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: owned that same block of land. 89 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: Brilliant mozz thank you has always appreciate it.
