1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, in Australia see Prist morning to you. 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we. I might be wrong, but I 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: think we still. You found that out, Yes you do, 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 2: and haven't and Petty wrong. The foreign ministers refused to 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: cut the funding. 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: And so suddenly Hamas is in the middle of UN 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: headquarters holding hostages. And if you were a foreign minister, 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: would you be interested in knowing that detail? 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: I would have thought so. And you're quite right that 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: there is not anywhere here today. Might develop during the 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: duck once the opposition finds out about it, and with 12 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: Parliament came back tomorrow, so I would think that they 13 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: will get some questions about that in parliament this week. 14 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: Just to explain, by a way background, I followed this 15 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: with a great deal of interest. It appears Elbow this 16 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: is the caravan last week with the explosives. Elbow knew nothing, 17 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: Men's did. But Men's, who runs in New South Wales, 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: knew because he had talked to US local Feds as 19 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: opposed to the Fed Feds that might be talking to Elbow. 20 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: Elbow's refusing to answer questions. Was he kept in the dark? 21 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he was. It seems very odd, doesn't it. 22 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: I mean the New South I was premier, came out 23 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: yesterday and said, well what actually happened and just brief 24 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 2: back and this all happened back in jan nineteen. Cavan 25 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: gets found northeast northwestern suburbs of Sydney, loaded with plastic 26 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: exposives probably stolen from a mining company, anti Semitic messages 27 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: and an address of a synagogue in it. So it's 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: being treated as a potential terror attack. They say if 29 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: the van had been blown up, it would have created 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: a forty meter radius of damage, killing a lot of people. 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: Now you would think the Prime Minister of the country 32 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: would be immediately brief on such a thing, because this 33 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: would be the biggest largest terrorist attack in Australia forever. 34 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: Mins gets told on the twentieth of January. The next 35 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: very next day, the twenty first of January, interestingly, the 36 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: Prime Minister and the New South Wales Premier are at 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: the site of remember the childcare center that God daubed 38 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,919 Speaker 2: with anti Semitic messages, not far from a local synagogue. 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: They were there together, they both gave media conferences and 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: we're to believe that Christopher Men's the Premiere, wouldn't have 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 2: taken elbow aside and said, listen, mate, got some bad news. 42 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: There was a caravan found up the road full of 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: plastic explosives. It just doesn't make any sense. Peter Dutton 44 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: has come out and said, look, if the Prime Minister 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: of our country is not across what was potentially the 46 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: biggest terrorist attack in our country's history essentially until the 47 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: public found out about it, I think that's an absolute 48 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: abrogation of his responsibility. A correct protocol Albaneze, he said, 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: was held and so we don't speak about operational matters. 50 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: No one's buying that argument exactly. 51 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of Dutton, and I note that he was talking 52 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: about did he officially announce it over the weekend or 53 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: the clip I saw he was just talking to a 54 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: woman and an Asian woman who was sort of saying, 55 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: please reinstate the Golden visa. Has he announced that his 56 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: policy or not? 57 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: No, that you're right. He was picked up on a 58 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: hot mike saying to a gathering of Chinese business people 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: that he was at with were fundraising for the election, 60 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 2: that this is going to suit you by the way 61 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: down to the ground, because I know you've always had 62 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: a great desire to kind of live here. Exactly if 63 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: you invest five million, which is small change for you 64 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 2: in to Australia, you get a Golden ticket visa. Now 65 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: these things existed under the previous Liberal government, but they 66 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: were dropped by the alban Easy government. So Peter Dutton 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: has aired his plan at this fundraiser and he says, look, 68 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: we will look at it. I won't promise to bring 69 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: it back right now, and I may do so in 70 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: the lead up to the election, but I will certainly 71 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: examine it once we get elected. What's this all about, Well, 72 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: it's all about getting the Chinese support during your election 73 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: campaign and making sure that they're talking to the Chinese 74 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: voters who might change their vote from Labor back to 75 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: the Liberals. That's what it's about. But that Golden ticket 76 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: visa will apparently now be reinstated. And it's pretty simple. 77 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: I mean, if you buy a decent house in Sydney, 78 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: that's what you're spending anyway. 79 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: Exactly, and there's there's no test, there's no language test, 80 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: there's just another words handover the day you're. 81 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: In that's exactly right. And if you invest in a business, 82 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: same thing. 83 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: The Kyle Sandlan's to explain to people here, Kyle and 84 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: Jackie Ower thing on FM radio. They're a big deal 85 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: in radio, they're very successful, all that sort of stuff. 86 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: But this aneurysm is this this morning, that's just broken. 87 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: Yes, he announced this on his radio Pregnant this morning. 88 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: So to put people in the picture, they've both signed 89 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 2: ten million dollar a year each contracts for ten years 90 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: on the radio network in which they appear. They rated 91 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: number and seen the amount of money. They rate number 92 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: one in Sydney FM and more often than not number 93 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: one overall. This year or last year's being beamed into 94 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: Melbourne very unsuccessfully, rating around about five five percent. So 95 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: they haven't worked in Melbourne. This is their second year 96 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: trying to do that. So Kyle goes on there this morning. 97 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: He was away up here on Friday and look, I've 98 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: had a real crack at the sky because of his 99 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: smutty content in a number of newspaper columns that I've 100 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 2: written and on television I've called him at buffoon. But 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: I hope all works out well for him. He's been 102 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: and had a scan and he's now got to go 103 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: and her brain surgery because they've found an aneurysm on 104 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: the brain. So I hope the surgery is successful, and 105 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: I hope he's okay. 106 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: And do you know anything about when that happens? As 107 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: that happened today, tomorrow, this week. 108 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: Nick eminently, jeez, this week sometime. 109 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: Hey, do you know Joe Halen the New South Wales 110 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: Transport Ministers.
