Paul Murray Live | 1 October

over to the UK where Nigel Farage. The only place to Seemlozsi Telly is here each and every week on a Tuesday, So I'm glad that's going to be the case. So a couple of things you may not have heard about thus far today. As we know, Australians are finding it very difficult to find a place to rent. Your kids, your grandkids are finding a very difficult time because they're competing against more people than ever before for fewer homes than ever before. Now, in part that's because we are

not building enough houses. We know that there's been a whole series of building companies that have collapsed in the past couple of years. But remember the greatest Prime Minister of all time was going to fix all of that by now.

kind of the same as last month. You can see that when it comes to things that aren't houses, like say unit blocks that may well be available to rent, townhouses, villas, granny flats, all of that is down by sixteen and a half percent year on year. Now I point this

out to you because there's an obvious consequence. Right In fact, if you actually have a look here at this graph, you can see that Australia is nowhere near building the amount of homes or approving the amount of homes that say, under the previous government peaked at in March of twenty twenty one, were was twenty two thousand, eight hundred homes. By January twenty three that had fallen to twelve thousand,

two hundred and five. And as we speak tonight, the numbers for August have come out as we start October and it is thirteen thy nine hundred and ninety one. Now this matters because firstly, we don't have enough houses for all of the people who are currently here, let alone all of the people that this government has brought into the country. Now again, I'm terrible at MATS. I did MATS in space in my year twelve, and even

then I ailed it. I went to one of those schools where basically they knew we couldn't add up, so they just taught us probability because they know we'd probably end up as degenerate gamblers. But I can still work

these numbers out. The last two years of data that we have for net migration is that nine hundred and sixty four thousand people have come to the country However, the total number of new dwellings that have been improved but it houses or units, is only two hundred and seventy three six hundred and eighty seven, So not even a third of the extra people that have come into the country are being serviced by new dwellings, meaning that the line for rental cues gets longer, the line for

a home to buy gets longer. The federal government gets to pat itself on the back because we've got a budget surplus, but you are competing with more people than ever before to have a roof over your head, but nothing to see here. We've got a plan, Well, the plan isn't working now. Today, the first of October is a major day when it comes to some health ideas

in this country. Now, as you know, vaping has largely replaced the smoking of cigarettes or other tobacco products, mainly yes, for young people, but also for a whole collection of people who are trying to get off the stuff they had made be smoking for years. And it does feel like every second shop in many of our suburbs, certainly the further you go out from the city on our vape shops. Well, from today, vapes are no longer allowed to be sold in shops because of a decision that

the Health Minister, Mark Butler made. His decision was that the place from today that you can get your vapes is not at a tobacconist, not at a vape shop, not at the service station, but from your local chemist. And unlike previous scenarios where generally speaking you'd have to go to the doctor first to give you a prescription and then the is filled by said chemist, you can walk in off the street and try to purchase effectively a tobacco replacement product that of course has things like

nicotine in it. Now, the absurdity of this situation is that basically there's an honor system at play here. Let me explain, you don't need a prescription anymore. People will just wander into the chemist and they will say, I need a couple of apes pith, Okay, well how much. Well what they will give you is a month's worth of vapes based off what you tell them is your current monthly nicotine intake. So if you are a pacadet smoker, they would give you the equivalent of that when it

comes to vapes. If you're the occasional party smoker, they will give you, of course much less, but if, like many people in this country, it's even a little more than all of that, you will end up getting a huge supply of vapes. Now, it's not going to take a lot of people to work this one out. But my criticism of this system apart from turning chemists into the place where now you can get your tobacco product or the tobacco replacement product, because it's all about getting

people off the vapes, right. Despite the fact that you can walk in and say, yeah, no, I bang out a cart in a week, Okay, here's all the vapes you need for a month, that there are going to be people who may well keep some of those vapes from themselves. But I think we all know where it's

going to end up, the black market. But of course the government is completely unwilling to say that this is one of the consequences but also one of the problems here that will increase the sales on the black market, just like the tobacco products that are currently on the black market, because this government is such a genius government to keep increasing the taxes on legal tobacco, meaning that in many of those vapor and tobacco shops which are

in your local suburbs. You can get crap from China Chop Chop as a way of filling your nicotine rush. Should that be what you wish to do now? Of course, smoking is bad. Smoking will kill you, no question about it. As somebody who smokes too many cigars, I know what my future has in store for me. That's the reality. But chemists are now saying they don't want to stock them. In fact, they can't be forced by the government to

stock them. So we're now going to have a scenario where the only place that you can legally get your vape is that the chemist, but not all chemists will stock them, meaning that certain chemists will see their profits go through the roof from this product. And the honor system means that they give you the amount that you ask for, because that's what you've said, is your monthly nicotine does some of the chemists that won't be selling vapes are the ones that you, of course should be supporting.

Let's go through this here. This is from the Pharmacy Guild and what they had to say about the types of businesses that will not be involved in this little attempt to change things. Feedback from our members and the industry suggests that most pharmacists do not intend on stocking these products. Priceline Pharmacy, Terry White Kem Mart Blooms, the Chemist Pharmacy, Triple seven and National Pharmacies, particularly focused in

South Australia already indicating they will not be doing this now. Yes, it's some of these places. There are other nicotine alternatives, and we are waiting to see what chemist Warehouse, one of the biggest providers of prescription medication and lots of other stuff in all of those aisles that you don't need a prescription for. What their plan is, I'll tell you what they tell us when they get back to

us over the next twenty four hours. But can you think of a dumber solution to the problem of vaping than literally creating an entirely new black market, rather than a market where, if they wanted to, they could continue to sell these thingsanists, but tax them in the same way that they tax other tobacco products as a way

of making up revenue. No, instead, we're going to pretend that if magically it's no longer available, then nobody will want to use it, because that's worked with everything else that the government tries to ban right, why do that to chemists? They don't want to be tobacconists. Now, a couple of other things in and around politics that I would like to get to here, which is who would end up backing who should we end up with the hung parliament? That most likely is going to be the case after

the next federal election. Now, as we know, the Prime Minister thinks that they budget surplus where they have no more money for charities dealing with cost of living, no more help when it comes to cost of living, that somehow that's going to result in them getting a majority government. But as was written today in the Australian newspaper, they think that all of these numbers basically say we're off

the way March election. Some people say there's an very small window of something in December, but most likely March would be when we are headed. So we know that minority government is most likely what is going to happen? Why because the Poles have told us the Labour Party's primary vote the last election was thirty two and a half percent. Newspole say it's at the same mark. However,

Resolve says it's way lower than that. Essential says it's way lower than that, Redbridge says it's about the same. JWS says about the same. And Morgan, who, by the way tonight has in two party preferred the coalition in front, by the way, fifty one to two forty nine. They

too show that the Labour Party vote has fallen. But let's focus in on one particular pole, a JWS pole which has turned up in the Financial Review, which we told you before about how many seats the coalition would win, how many would lose, and there was a chance of this becoming not an each way albow but potentially an each way Liberal Labor minority government because under their calculations right now, they claim that right now it's fifty two

forty eight, which means that a Dutton minority government may well be a potential outcome of the next election. Now, I think this is a little too generous, and you've heard me say this one thousand times before, But let's imagine there was a position where the Liberal Party was mathematically close enough to form government, the Labor Party was

mathematically close to form government. Who would they pick? Well well, under the Financial Review, because they actually picked up the phone and started to ring some of these people and start to put some pressure on them so we would start to know what would happen when the government inevitably goes into minority. They ended up reaching out to five members of the current cross Bench, that being Rebecca Sharki, Helen Haynes, a legal spender, Bob Catter and our mate

die Lee. Rebecca Sharky's the only one who's given an actual quote, but she says that she believes that her community would expect her to have a conversation with the Liberal Party first. Why because, of course the seat of Mayo is one that has been represented by, among others, Alexander Downer and the Liberal Party for a very long time, so a potential win there for Peter Dutton. Also worth noting,

how two that die Lee. Now, you would say, Die Lee is from a place where that it used to be hardcore labor, so presumably she'd be pro labor right, No, because according to the AFR Today that while the rest of the country swung towards labor, Fowler had swung in the opposite direction. She pointed out to the local council results, which also showed that Labour had lost a swath of seats. She says that to me is an indication that something is happening. So maybe she could end up backing in

a Dutton government. I would think it unlikely, but still potential. So what about Bob Catter. Bob Caatter has been through these negotiations plenty of times before. Of course, in twenty ten he ended up backing the coalition, but he told the Financial Review that he was very close to Anthony Abernezi and there was no guarantee that Dunton would get

his support. While he labeled the opposition leader the pick of the bunch on both sides of politics when it comes to leadership, he is, however, critical of the people who are around him. So again questioned Mark, but you would presume that whoever's got the best deal for his part of Queensland, which you would have to think potentially could come from Peter Dutton. Well that'd be a good thing.

What about the independence Helen Haynes and a legal spender. Now, Haines represents the seat that way back when, and I mean way back when, was a Liberal Party seat. However, has been independent so much so that she was able to replace the previous independent allegal spender of course, is the teal who is representing Wentworth. Haines has said that she would never sign away. Now listen to this. Listen to this for an absolute non answer. Right my view,

she'd back Labor. But still Haines, the member for Endi and Victoria, says that she would never sign away her independent vote on bills in a deal, but she was open to negotiations about backing confidence of the House and budget bills. So which one would you pick? Well, of course she has to sit around and pretend, oh, both sides. She would back Labor why she likes their position when it comes to climate change, and certainly she would be no fan of Peter Duttont. But that's just me going

off the entire form of her political career. Meantime, Allegra Spender, who has referred to herself as a small l Liberal and says that she views everything through a business lens, and the assumption is that this being a seat that used to be for the Liberals, that she most likely would end up potentially voting for the Libs. But again, no comment from her, so it's as clear as mud. But let me walk you through the rest of the cross bench as we head towards a minority government. If

they were all returned. What would happen now? Andrew g is a former NATS The expectation is that that seat would go back to the Nats. But maybe he ends up being out. Taeler Teel who has frightened him in the past. Russell Borben who was a person who lost pre selection but may well somehow find a way to get back into the parliament. Well, both of those guys probably for Peter Dutton. Andrew Wilkie no chance he backed Gillard, which means of course he would back albow Maniue Ryan'sy,

Daniel Zalie Steggle, Sophie Scomps and Kate Cheney. Well, all of them are in former Liberal Party seats. Now if they get re elected, would they all assume that there's been a revolution, there's no support for the Liberal Party anymore, Or if they did end up backing Labor into government, would they end up in the same position as Oakshot or windsor so. The Greens of course have four MPs and they back Gillard in twenty ten. So back of

the envelope here. The Liberal Party's case, in my view is that the best they could possibly do out of the current cross bench of eighteen is to get nine. Okay, that means they would have to get sixty five seats at the next federal election. The Labor Party's best case, most likely is that they would end up with thirteen of the eighteen seats, meaning they can afford to fall from their current seventy eight seats in the Parliament down to sixty three, meaning if there is a minority government,

most likely it would end up being a Labor one. Sadly, but apparently all of that may well just not be the case. A majority government may well be coming Labour's way because apart from the fact that it Dunton's unelectable, despite the fact that more people now are disapproving of the Prime minister of course, to sixty percent of people can't name a single thing the Prime Minister has done

to improve their lives. But whatever again. Financial Reviews sorry for the endless plugs, but they had the good story today, which was an opinion persons who jesting that a rate cut will save Albanisi, potentially even keeping him in a majority and the National Australian Bank said today that they do expect a rate cut to happen not midway through twenty twenty five, but potentially early in twenty and twenty five,

maybe as early as February. Michelle Bullock, of course, is the Reserve Bank Governor, and it's important to note that she has said there will be no change this year and it's most likely to be towards the end of next year. And remember she's also said if you're suffering under interest rates right now, you should probably sell your house. So I don't think she's planning on saving Albo anytime soon.

But that's just some of the maths. And I know you're hardcore politics people say, well, I wanted to peek behind the curtain. By the way, don't fat for anyone unless they're willing to actually tell you what they would do should they become in a position to choose the Government of Australia. If they can't answer the question and they're trying to have sor of you know, the elbow each way, don't vote for them. Meantime, Queensland official campaign

has begun Day one of the election campaign. More importantly, twenty five days now until queensa gets the opportunity to flush the Miles government and end giggles premiership. He went to Government House today and who cares David Christofully. Meantime he was on the campaign trail. In fact, as early as yesterday he started his formal election campaign and he was in Bunderberg. All the poles say he is the next Premier of the Queensland fingers cross. That's the case.

But I wanted to point something out to people here who may well think that a slam done. So it doesn't matter. So you know, I just let everyone else vote to change the government. In the queens enn Parliament, you need forty seven seats to form a majority. The Labour Party currently has fifty one, meaning they can lose four seats yet still hold on to the majority. The Liberal Party needs to win twelve seats to be able to form the majority, so they need to pick up

seats all over the state, particularly in regional areas. And we'll see what happens when it comes to the Cross Beach Kadaz. Australia Party has four. There is one independent in the parliament and Green's hopefully there will be no more because today the LMP made a particularly excellent decision, which was they would put the Greens last and what actual fact preference labor over the Greens labor, of course, why would they do that. Let us turn our attention now to.

around the country. In fact, they sometimes think the Patricia Cabalis is too right wing, but still they generally get what they want now, as you know, many of the things or the people who support the ABC blindly, who think there's no problems there, who think the problems are everything outside the building, the people who think they should get two billion dollars a year despite the fact that we have not one, but two two taxpayer funded broadcasters

in the country, that and SBS, well, they of course say, there's nothing to see here. There is no fault whatsoever when it comes to the ABC, and if there is, it's sort of people have kind of got liberal party connections. The only problem was is that I thought we should actually have a look at what it's like to work for the ABC, the so called better of the rest of the Australian media, well, they underpaid their staff in fact, the number is about twelve million dollars that they have

underpaid their staff over seven years. Okay, well that's the only thing, right. Well, what about a survey of their own news and Current affairs people that suggested that sexual harassment is quite a problem for the people who work there.

In fact, according to the ABC reporting about the ABC, which we know they love to do, a survey of ABC News staff has found thirteen percent of respondents to a survey experienced sexual harassment at work, and more than a quarter have been bullied over the past two years. It's been described as pervasive. Well, okay, they've paid back the money and surely they've learned their lesson then, I mean David Anderson, the current boss, thinking of jumping ship

a couple of years early. I mean, he's done his sorries, right, except for what happened today when David Anderson says we must do better. Why because they've got a little bit of a racial problem. In fact, again, the ABC writing about the ABC says that among the experiences that have been documented in cases of racial slurs or offensive comments about a person's appearance or cultural practices and being excluded

from workplace and social functions due to their background. These are the people that are better than everyone else in the media. Just sit there and watch media Watch. They'll tell you why everything else is terrible. But this is what's going on inside their own walls. The reviewers heard of staff being mistaken for someone junior based on their racial appearance because you know, everyone looks the same, right, and staff are being passed up opportunities because you are

considered to have been hired only to meet a diversity quota. Okay, well that's you know, that's clearly problem with only a certain type of staff member. And thankfully there are more modern examples about an ABC that's got a big and bright future in front of it, including the bloke who was nominated for gold Loki Tony Armstrong of course, the former.

one newspapers and specifically the Sydney Morning Herald. Now the Sydney Morning Herald is of course one of the great news institutions of Australia, have been around for an incredibly long period of time, and they've decided to do some interesting reporting at the moment, which is to pull people together to talk about the COVID lockdowns of New South Wales. And to be honest, there's some really interesting insights into stuff that frankly you and I were saying all the

way through. But remember what they said about us at the time. One of the conclusions of their COVID panel this is running in a store in a series of stories this week. I think virus transmission alone should not dictate public health orders in a future pandemic. Really, it's that they've gone all Sky News on us. This is what we were saying at the time. Border closures must be informed by nationally agreed frameworks. According to the people

who were talking about the COVID failings. The panel, which was convened by The Herald to examine how COVID lockdowns were designed and enforced chiefly in New South Wales. Broadly agreed that policy makers overlooked social cohesion and mental health factors. Yeah, I remember saying that. You remember saying that, and you remember what they said about us for saying that. They also argued that government should not regard the health and

economic outcomes as separate. They were intrinsically linked. They've literally it's like they've gone back and transcribed the editorials from this program and other presenters on this station that we did from day one and for the years of this garbage we all had to live with also the economic damage from shutdowns and stay at home orders that would

inevitably affect people's health. Wow, I mean, surely breaking news exclusive. Thankfully, someone somewhere in the Australian media has decided to notice that there were significant issues that were visible to the naked eye at the time, but of course was shouted down, ignored, or were put into some sort of conspiracy theorist world.

Mick Fuller, the former Police Commissioner of New South Wales, is part of this series of reporting in the Citny Morning Herald and he was on with my friend Chris Kenny, who's been saying what I've been saying since day one.

look it down, look it down. Well, of course, sir the City Mounding Hero, which among other things, has concluded today as I said to you that lockdowns have greater effects than just dealing with the virus. What did they

write about Gladys spiogically and lockdowns? Well back in twenty twenty one, they wrote, for the past eight weeks the news of Pult's premier, Gladys spieragically and has dismissed COVID nineteen measures as such as curfews, outdoor masks, wearing and effective ring of steel around Sydney, and limits on outdoor exercise all better ideas that Dan was doing, but we weren't doing them enough. The same newspaper that is now saying what the consequences are of all of these things?

They went on. They've been employed in other states to varying degrees of success, but misspiergically and has rejected them, often with contempt, promising that her governments proportionate response would lead the state to freedom. She has been right to say, as we all agree, the evidence in favor of curfus and limits it outdoor activities is mixed at best, because there's simply no strong evidence at outdoor transmission. In fact, there was none according to the niss Sobel's Health Department.

But Miss Piagicklian has also failed to acknowledge that these measures would send a clear message. So we should go into lockdown, we should go into ring a steel, we should have a curfew, we should have choppers flying over because it sends a message. The same people who now have discovered that all of this has consequences. I've got more, same newspaper, gladys piagically must stop playing catch up with COVID nineteen, Premier must stop the spin about a quick

exit from lockdown. And then when she, of course she did lockdown even harder the way they wanted it. Premier shows her metal by making the tough call on lockdown. So I say well done to the Herald for joining us in common sense land, where the evidence was clear from very early on. Not the first couple of months, obviously that was all up for grabs. But after a couple of months we all knew what was going on.

But the only instrument the blunt instrument. Because three hundred cases a day, do you want to know how many are around now? How many people are apparently dying with COVID? It's a lot more than any lockdown moment during twenty twenty twenty twenty one or whatever people were dreaming of

for the past couple of years. Since so great that you're writing at But I noticed in your first story you don't make any mention of the media that helped pressure the existence of the lockdowns, who wanted them to go harder, who wanted them to be tougher, who wanted them to hurt more people. Perhaps that's in part two because today no mention of that, including their own role in making sure that terrible decisions were being made during that period of time. Dodger, no, miss you and me.

You and me be here every night, all right, be here every night because I need you as the friend. I don't have many others outside the building. But I don't care, all right, to a fault, I don't care. Now, remember how scooters have been banned in Melbourne, those rental scooters. Nicholas Race was on the show on Sunday night, the Lord Mayor saying this is one of the things that people really liked. Most of the audience clapped and agreed they don't like the scooters. Okay, personally I love them,

but that's the decision that's been made in Melbourne. Well, somebody decided to write an opinion piece in one of the newspapers the Age, saying, sure, ban scooters, but while you're at it, ban monster SUVs as well, among one of the arguments as to why big cars should no longer be allowed in and around the streets of Melbourne.

Larger cars are also, of course, a good deal worse for our emissions, using more steel and consuming more petrol, bringing forward the times of tribulation, where the crops fail, populations move all of course you've got a big car, okay, and people die of heat stroke by the thousands, all because you've got an suv all right, let alone a ram meaning that, of course scooters doesn't matter whatsoever. Well,

I over a solution for this bloke. Everyone else who does often mouth off about the size of cars that are in our cities. Feel free to complain about what China's doing. Australia is one percent of the world's problem. Should we do our part to reduce it? Yes, of course, So if you'd like to make a complaint about who's actually destroying the planet right now, forget having a go at your local suv owner and go to in this case, the Chinese consulate in Melbourne. It's on two rec road.

You could walk there, you could cycle there, you can get a piggyback from another lefty, but feel free to go to the place that's actually causing trouble rather than pretending the next door neighbour's car is the real reason thousands will die. Now, as you know, there is a significant consequence when it comes to climate change, which is storms,

not going to pretend that's not the case. And because China is currently doing what it's doing, there are particular examples about some big storms that are happening, like in the United States right now, in fact, that John hurricane across multiple states. This has been terrible. I think it's aout one hundred and thirty people that have died. Many more will find out in the next of the while,

but it's been bloody awful. Today Donald Trump was in one of the affected areas, and among other things, what he's trying to get fixed as soon as possible, like maybe as soon as like a couple of days time, is people being able to have access to the internet so they can start to communicate what's going on in their house with the emergency officials. This was a good moment for Trump today.

look like she's involved in the clean up efforts. As Trump says, correctly, you have to put the cord in the phone for it to work. Oh and by the way, you know how George Bush hated black people. According to Kanye way back was a Kanye I think so way back when one of the telethons, by the way, no plan of a telethon when it's the Southern States noticed, that's no, none of that right, There's no political advantage

in any of that. And all the stars are already, of course, hanging out with Kamala Harris literally while the hurricane was hitting these multiple areas, while it was displacing thousands of people and killing at least one hundred and thirty people. Guess where Kamala Harris was. Had she canceled all of her campaign appearances. No, back in Washington in the situation room, watching what was taking place, because apparently she is involved in the federal government when she chooses

to be. No, I'll let Meghan Kelly explain where she was when the hurricane was hitting.

No looks, no left, He's looking forward to it. Matt Cunningham joins us from Darwin, James Morrow in the man Cave, and then of.

wonderful hands. Speaking of Matt Cunningham joins us now not from our Darwin Studio parents on the Fritz. I think he's in his backyard. That is do it yourself TV mate, Well played wherever you happen to be. I'm glad you're here, all right, So Matt, I'm going to start first with you. We all saw what happened with Peter Dutton today, this question from the ABC and of course his response. I think it's been played a thousand times, so I won't

played one thousand and one. But what's your sense of here? Because you've seen politicians try to make things about the media, but then equally when the media asks a question as stupid as why is the Israeli flag okay? But the hes Bala flag isn't, Well, you've got to expect it right between the eyes metaphorically when you say something as stupid.

put to him. But you know, in this case, it's just simply almost bizarre that that comparison was being made. You have one organization that is a terrorist organization, has been recognized as such by both sides of politics for more than twenty years, and the other is a Western democracy, well not a Western democracy, but obviously a democracy in the Middle East. So you know, to make that comparison, it was way off the mark, and I think the opposition leader was right to call it out.

But that's a whole other story. But anyway, but the other thing too is that there's a really key education piece here too, because there is this sort of sense that there's this kind of relativist contest here. Hence be there the bottle of guys Israel, there the Jewish guys and blah blah, blah. But people need to understand what has blas all about. For forty years, they have been bombing embassies, bombing Jewish cultural centers as far away as Argentina,

hijacking airplanes, kidnapping people, torturing them. These are objectively the bad guys. And to see what we saw where we had people marching with the flags of the national artposters like it was Beirut, that's a disgrace.

fires off today. I mentioned before what the size of the hill is for the opposition, but it looks like it's going to get there. But what about Stephen mars Now, youth crime a one issue. Every time I've gone anywhere near Queen's at in Newham often I'm in queens Man, all right, But he says everything's getting better.

particularly the issue of youth crime. And I'll tell you what here in Darwin and in other parts of the Northern Territory, in fact, most of the Northern Territory baseball bats were well and truly out. The government here tried to do the same thing that Steven Miles is trying to do now. It is trying to sort of turn the ship around. You know, the previous leader has gone, Palichet's gone. I'm a different guy. I've got a different approach, and I'm trying to tell you that what we're doing

is working well. I reckon it's probably going to be too little and too late for Stephen Miles, because I think the voters in Queensland probably made up their mind a long time ago.

been an off as previously. Now, the one interesting thing about this, there's gonna be a wrinkle to the selection because I think there is no I told somebody in Brisbane a while ago, there's still a lot of support for Smiles around that kind of Brisbane area. Southeast in Southeast Queensland is very lefty and it's just going to break. It's going to be about breaking enough seats north of that.

But there's also plenty of reporting that regional MPs for the Labor Party are literally giving up and don't even really trying in all of them. So we'll all see what happens. All right, lads, I do appreciate it. Thank you very much. See you James on the weekend of course with Outsiders and the US Report Friday night, as well having a look at the vice presidential debate, which you'll see here tomorrow one Skuy News. Thank you also,

Matt enjoy the night there in Darwin. It's amazing. All right, let's get back to nosokno lefties Niger Farras straight after the break here on Paul Murray Live. Well, we're going to talk about a lot of things that are happening in the UK. Okay, we're not going to do American politics that much. There's a lot of weird stuff in the UK happening right now, so stick about. Niger Farras

is the leader of the UK Reform Party. He joins us now from beautiful England where there's much to discuss because there's some weird stuff going on with the new Prime Minister, Nigel Love it to say, you mate, thank you all right, So what's going on here where there's all sorts of freebies and gifts and things that are starting to bring the air of stink around a brand new government and everyone knows the newcast mill never lasts as long as everyone wanted.

the value of it. And then by a bit we learn that not only does he get a box at Arsenal Football Club, which by the way, I don't grudge him that, I really don't, but he's had a whole load of suits and even glasses paid for by a donor. Now this does not look like, you know, the puritanical care starm where it looks like someone on the take. And the one thing the British public can't stand is hypocrisy.

you're going to be powering this. So give us an idea about the fundamental splits inside the Conservative Party that are going to mean it's always going to be fighting with itself.

have to get blue collar and working class votes. It's something actually, but John Howard in Australia was really a pioneer of you know, over two decades ago.
