1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Steve Price is with us out of Australia this morning. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: You hate speech laws, Steve, Good morning to you in 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: New South Wales. 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, today Ryan. This comes off the back, obviously of 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,079 Speaker 2: the latest anti Semitic attack in the eastern suburbs of 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 2: Sydney that happened on Thursday night. There's now vision up 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: about the cars being fired Bond and the anti Jewish 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 2: sentiments being spread on the house of a formerly owned 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 2: by one of the senior Jewish spokesmen in Australia, Alex Rufchin. 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: And so Chrismins, the Premier is announced today that he'll 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: strengthen hate speech. A lot of people critical of these 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 2: laws exist and they're not used and so I mean 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: good on Chrismins for doing this, but will they actually 14 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: then be implemented. He said he was increasingly of the 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: view that hate speech was the initial spark of this 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: brazen antisemitism. You might remember, way back just after the 17 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: October seventh terror attack by Hamas, there was a gathering 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: on the steps of the Opera House in Sydney and 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: there was some conjecture about what was being chanted, but 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: it was certainly anti Semitic, and so he says the 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: governor's strength and the laws. If someone's preaching hatred in 22 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: the community that doesn't manifest itself two or three months 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: later in a fire, bombing or an attack or something worse, 24 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: no stone we left unturned. This will include bans on 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: protests that are scheduled to take place out of outside 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: religious institutions. So that's going to be pretty a pretty 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 2: big and significant change to those laws. 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: I believe it certainly will be, and quite a job 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: for the police side to menge. The Dozen's unofficial campaign 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: launch taking off. 31 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, both Dunton and Albaneza yesterday. Look, we've got an election. 32 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: We don't know the date. Our system is that it's 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: a floating date. The Prime Minister decides he has to 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: go by sometime before June this year. The conjecture is 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: that it will be probably April or May. But yesterday 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: Peter Dutton was in Bridgin, thin year's home state. He 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: made a major announcement that small businesses that turn over 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: less than ten million dollars a year will now be 39 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: able to claim back twenty thousand dollars as a tax 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: deduction on entertainment. Now we used to have a tax 41 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: deductible entertainment in this country. For Keating stopped that bought 42 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: in a fringe benefits tax and so your boss couldn't 43 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: take you out to lunch and fill you up with 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: red wine and give you a good stake and claimant 45 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 2: on his tax. Well that's going to come back in now. 46 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: Peter Dunton thinks that'll bring him some boats. While he 47 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: was doing that, Anthony o Aneasy was in the western 48 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: side of the Sydney with the new Southwales Premier christ 49 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: Wins I just mentioned, and they're going halves in a 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: billion dollar road widening project to Sydney's new second airport. Now, 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: this second airport, we've been talking about it since I 52 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: was in shorts at school. But it is being built 53 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 2: and it will be finished. But there's only a two 54 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: lane road that heads into that region at the moment, 55 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 2: and so they're going to spend a billion dollars. What's 56 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: this all about, Well, the road is needed. He was 57 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: probably already factored in and it was probably already announced, 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: but they've re announced it hoping that will bring some 59 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: votes for the western sobs of Sydney. The Labor Party 60 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 2: whenever that election. 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: Is is Novak Djokovic right, where is he justified and 62 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: refusing to be interviewed by this Channel nine reporter. 63 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: No I was there last night at the Djokovic match 64 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: and he would normally have a chitty chat with Jim 65 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: Courier live on the coverage. He grabbed the microphone off 66 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: Courier and said until he gets an apology from Channel nine, 67 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: he won't be appearing on any of which is a 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: bit ridiculous given nines to the actual tennis broadcaster, he 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: won't appear on air with anyone from Channel nine. Tony 70 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: Jones is a crusty old veteran sports reporter from Melbourne. 71 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: He was doing a live cross to nine News last 72 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: week and he had a joke about how Djokovic would 73 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: boot it out of Australia, who might remember he got 74 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: chucked out of the country during COVID. He then had 75 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: a bit of a crack at Serbian supporters. No one 76 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: was taking it seriously. Intil Novak decided to go on 77 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: line on his social feed and complain about it and 78 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: says he now won't appear on Channel nine, which is 79 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: a bit silly. He's now going to play Alcoraz in 80 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: the quarterfinals, which will be a massive match. I think 81 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: Channel you'll find Channel nine will be pretty quickly putting 82 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: Tony Jones out there today to apologize. But they really 83 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: shouldn't need to. 84 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: All right, Steve, thanks so much for that, Steve Price, 85 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 1: our Australia correspondent, I thought to play you that clip 86 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: just so you can make up your own mind.
