From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live.
Hello for you and James Morrow for filling in over the past few days.
How's your weekend here?
I know I'm asking that question a little bit too late. Mind spectacular?
Oudam a skin? Amazing?
Why my favorite team in my favorite sport, Erebus wins Baptist. My favorite owner, my favorite team in my favorite sport. Betty and Daniel, Congratulations their second win at Baptist, this one even sweeter than the first. Congratulations to Brodie and Todd the drivers are my favorite team in my favorite sport. And Barry Ryan, of course, the man who puts the whole team together behind the scenes. Congratulations to all of them.
I could go on all night, but I won't, but I can tell you Friday practice, Saturday qualifying, Sunday race. I'm screaming at the telly the whole time because I was hanging out with other mates in Queensland. What a weekend. What a feeling that sport can give you. I hope you get the chance to feel it in your favorite sports sometimes soon.
Congratulations.
I have chat to Betty a little bit later in the week, but first let's deal with some of the stuff anything that's happened since Sireo has it been a one.
I had a secure roof over my head of public housing, which was council owned. But I had that security and that game and my mum, that security of a starting life. And we've said that our priority is cost of living.
With Australia in the middle of a housing crisis, the Prime Minister has defended his new multimillion dollar investment.
Anthony Abinezi is the proud new owner of a Central Coast beach house worth more than four million dollars.
What the Housing Commission guy has found more money bound the back of the lounge to be able to buy an even bigger investment property than he had before. Gees, times are good if you happen to be at that end of the plane, the private plane, if you will
you know this one. You've heard it all day and by the way, this man Alex will turn around saying Scott has mentioned six times X shows okay, but as if this isn't worth mentioning four point three million dollars, wasn't the one he was selling one point nine So I don't know where the extra money comes from. But wow, now the Prime Minister had a few little crack at this about how to explain this pretty tone deaf moment. And I'll explain to those that are saying nothing to
see here, why this is the tone deaf moment. This is the Prime Minister explaining how it was really important that, despite the fact that he doesn't plan to go anywhere anytime soon, he's got two taxpayer funded mansions.
He had to buy this one rollotape.
I'm planning to be in my current job for a very long period of time.
Okay, So it's not because he's planning to retire. So why would you put your head in the proverbial line's mouth of how this looks. It wasn't because he had to spend more time with his family. It wasn't because he had to choose family over work.
No, it's just because he could.
Again, well, Jody and I are getting married, as is known, and I'm pleased about that. And Jad's a coasty. She's a proud coasty. She's as proud of being a coasty as Jimmy is here of being a Logan lifelong resident. There are three generations of Hayden on the Hayden's on the coast there, and when your relationship changes, your life changes and you make decisions. But what I'm focused on is making sure that everyone can get a roof over
their head. I'm focused on increased public housing and social housing investment.
So the wedding, which remember we were told was put off until after the next election. So if you're not planning to live in the house, and you don't need to live in the house, and she was a coasty before and she's going to be a coasty after again, just because you can is the reason why he made the decision that he did to buy the house. Now, we've spoken before about people who have money in politics
versus those that don't. But when you've made a virtue of pretending that you're not like everyone else and you're actually worse than many, if not everyone else, in terms of how tone deaf you are, that's why this becomes the story, the thing worth mentioning, the reason we're talking again tonight. Now, remember, by the way, this bloke has
two taxpayer funded mansions. That's why the purchasing of extra homes behind the scenes, well presumably and obviously he's not paying the mortgage of the lodge or Curebilly house, so he's able to take his entire wage and throw it towards potentially a mortgage of a property that's twice as much as the one that apparently he's been selling. Now again, would you and I do the deal?
Yes?
Probably on a financial level. But when you're a politician, you know it's not just about how it is, it's about how it looks, and how it looks is bloody awful. Also again, so okay, third Bote at the Prime Minister trying to explain exactly what the heck is going on here and about why there's nothing to see that he still is the boy who understands what it's like to struggle because he's just work so damn hard and he's that damn good.
Of course, I am much better off as a Prime Minister.
I earn a good income.
I understand now, I understand now I've been fortunate, but I also know what it's like to struggle. My mum lived in the one public housing that she was born in for all of her sixty five years, and I know what it's like, which is why I want to help all Australians into a home, whether it be public homes or private rentals or home ownership.
Now I'm going to say the quiet pit art loud if this bloke had somehow built a business outside of politics and found a way for that business to continue, but he was all arms length through trusts and all the rest of it in OK, we understand what's going on here. We understand that yes, it's his right as a private system to buy a private citizen to buy and sell.
What he wants.
But this bloke is only financially able to buy a four and a bit million dollar holiday house because he's worked for us for decades.
That's weird.
According to the Australian Parliament House Biography section, where you can check every single MP and what they're willing to tell you about their life before politics, here's what it says about Albow. It says, of course, that he left Sydney University. He then worked as a bank officer, otherwise has known as a teller for twelve months. There's then a missing four years, and from nineteen eighty five to twenty twenty four he's worked for the government. He worked
as an advisor to a federal government minister. He's worked for the party while doing so he's worked as an advisor to the former Premier of New South Wales in nineteen ninety six, he eventually became an MP as which he has.
Been to this very day.
What I find amazing about all of this is that you can see so many parts of the media, particularly the television media, they did not really want to do this today. And a perfect example is, and I'll post the whole story up for you on the Facebook page. The Channel nine treatment of this story was as pro elbow as you could possibly get. Not to mention the fact that they ran it not in the first break, not in the second break, but after sport and at about seven minutes before the.
End of the bulletin, when most people had gone.
And in terms of the number of questions the Prime Minister got about this, well that's the bit that's interesting as well. You see he received just three questions about this, just three. As best as I could tell. They were often from the same place. And the amazing reason why I'm saying they only asked three questions about it was because the very reason for the press conference was about
building more social housing. On the day when you want to focus on the people who have the least you are one of the ones who has the most, supposedly pretending to be the new style politician who's going to lift everyone up. We'll make the only person who's been lifted up is you by us, because you don't have to pay a single dollar for a single thing in one of two private mansions that you have right now.
And just to drive home why I am annoyed about this, It's not because Anthony Albernese's financially doing better than the rest of us. It's not because Anthony Albernese is playing four D chess and he's somehow getting into our heads for free. It's because the reality in Australia today two news stories from today.
Is that there are a lot of people on the bones of their backside. Now.
Poor people have not been invented under this government, but they've got worse under this mob. So you would think that the Prime Minister would have a little bit of self control as opposed to just playing like no one's looking, or assuming that if anyone looks, no one will turn a blind eye or no one will turn a judging eye to his actions. Today, Labour faces backlash of a housing affordability crisis as concerns amount over falling standards of living a Red Bridge Pole, which is done also in
conjunction with the organization ACCENT. People are asked, do you think home ownership is attainable for young people without family assistance? Three quarters of the country in every state said no. Now parents have a very dear friend of mine. We got the chance to chat every now and then, and they said that whoever came up with some sort of policy to make sure that their kid could buy a house, regardless of it's team red, team Blue or team green,
they're probably going to flip that way. Look back against again at this ory, because I'm going to go on the state by state right, Let's start in Queenslane and work our way around. Seventy seven percent of people say no without banker, mum and dad in Queensland, the same in New South Wales, seventy six in Victoria, seventy seven in the Act, seventy six in Tasmania, seventy seven. Nationally, seventy six in Western Australia, seventy nine in the Northern Territory.
Nowhere in this list does more than fifteen percent of people say people are able to buy a house without the assistance of Mum and dad. That's why today it mattered that the Prime Minister, who was overseeing a system that has that result, decides to spend twice as much on his next holiday house or next investment property as he did in his last investment property. From one point nine in our four point something that is just rubbing people's face in it. It really is right to do it.
He can legally do it. Nobody's going to get him to resign. But this bloke is either on a death wish like Malcolm turmb but where he does not care or does not know and he is just running off the cliff, or he's so high on his own supply and his ego is so through the roof that he thinks it doesn't matter that no one will notice in thew any people who do notice are nasty buggers like me, or people who are never going to vote for him,
like many watching this program. Second story about why this is a prime minister delivering a giant fu to millions of Australians today and then, when asked about it barely by the press or barely reported by some television networks, why this is just rubbing salt in the wounds no longer a crisis of temporary hardship, grim warning as Ozzie's reports,
skipping food for days due to cost of living. The man who is the Prime Minister, who is most responsible and therefore in charge of a system and a country that is having this result, decided to go and buy a new property he doesn't need because she's a case Ian. Come on, please really imagine how.
They would have reacted if this was a liberal.
Let's go through the story, because I have quoted one statistic to you for a very long period of time, and there's a new version of it tonight. Australians are going entire days without food as a hunger relief charity issues are stark warning, paying attention. Nearly fifty percent of households earning less than thirty thousand dollars are experiencing food insecurity. Repeat, nearly fifty percent of households earning less than thirty thousand
dollars are experiencing food insecurity. This comes from my mates at Food Bank and the Food Bank. Hunger reports in twenty twenty four to thirty two percent of Australian households. That's three point four million households experienced food insecurity. That means the Prime Minister who's got enough cash to be able to turn his one point nine million dollar investment property into a four point three million dollar holiday house, good luck to him. But the people watching that's not
on the news. Thirty two percent of Australian households, three point four million people do not know where their food's going to come from.
Oh I've got more. The report also found that more than half of households.
Affected by food and security are often skipping meals or going entire days without food. So while you're buying the new joint, the new holiday house for when eventually either Australia, the Labor Party or you yourself choose to walk off the stage, you'll be right power. But you know three point four million people who supposedly you understand, you empathize, that's where you grew up, that's where mun.
Lived her entire life. You couldn't care less.
Why do I know that to be the case, Because this federal government spends more money, more tax money, advertising its own political schemes than it does supporting organizations like food Bank. We showed you their budget submission where food Bank second bite other organizations that get together trying to take care of this very issue of people who can't feed themselves. They asked for forty five million dollars collectively.
When it comes to the budget, this government is spending just forty million dollars alone flogging the two little too late tax cuts, let alone another twenty million dollars on the maid in Australian stuff automatically, two policies, two bits of government slash political advertising that dwarf the entire amount of money that this could this Prime Minister could decide to send the way of those who don't have enough
food to eat. But because his assumption is that the greater Australians do not care about the poor, or they always assume that the poor exists. While at the same time, three quarters of Australian say that their kid would not be able to buy a house without theirinancial support. And if you don't have the financial support mom and daddy wanna joint or Nana and papararona joint, then.
Your stuffed ah. But she's a coasting. Three quick numbers.
I'm going to show you ninety seven percent of the families in this survey who have food insecurity, worry that the food's going to run out before they've got enough money to buy it. He's going to brand new house that he's not going to move into, he's going to rent out. He's going to live off the cream four point three million bucks. That's why it's bad news day. Those in some food insecurity who can't afford balanced meals, meaning the ready crap, junk food garbage.
Ninety three percent.
Severely food insecure households where adults don't eat so their kids can ninety seven percent of the millions of people three and a bit million people who can't eat this year.
Forty five percent.
Some months, not every month, cut back on what they eat so their kids can eat. Forty four percent they do cut back every month so their kid can eat. That's why I unpeeded off. That's why it's a story.
That's why we lead the show with it, because it is the ultimate manifestation of a man who just says things about the poor, while the poor get poorer, while the hungry get hungrier, Where the homeless stay as far away from accommodation as possible, where three quarters of the country believe they're not possible for the person that they love as much as the Prime Minister loves his family for them to be able to buy a house unless
somehow financially things work for them. This is the same prime minister, the same prime minister who promised us something very different.
Reality, it's all worse.
He rubs salt into the wounds, the protection racket and the media.
I will report it, but.
Quick change the subject. Three questions today. Let's see it three. I guarantee it'll be zero tomorrow because we couldn't possibly have back to back bad news days for the greatest Prime Minister of all the time, after all, way back when he used to be poor.
Now he's thinking rich. Anything else happened while I was away. We're ahead.
We haven't lost to go back to nemesis. We haven't lost a newspoll since I've been Prime Minister.
The latest News poll with a coalition leading for the first time since the last election.
Seven months out from the next federal election. The Coalition has taken a surprise lead in the polls.
As voters give the government a right royal thumbs down.
Coalition ahead for the first time since the election.
I'm very focused on continuing to lead a majority government. My government has a record that we're very proud of, a record that's cut inflation in half.
Oh so it does matter if you lose a new What a surprise that the bloke who promised this.
The how is important. I'm serious about the how. We need to change the way that politics operates in this country. We need to be more inclusive, We need to be prepared to reach out, We need to be prepared to engage. What we can control is ourselves. We can control the way that we handle ourselves, the way that we conduct ourselves as a government.
Who behave like this last week.
The idea that way, have you got to retx or something?
You know, you know, you see there babble babble, bab order who says this.
We have said that our priority is cost of living, whose.
Number one priority in the Parliament last week was to do this.
We've introduced this legislation into the House today that safeguard's the future of the NBN.
The Prime Minister, who was overseas again last week, in fact moving question time to make it look like he was really in the country on a day when he was flying out of the country, was starting to get into.
A world of trouble last week.
This all just happened last week, shock results in the poll when the same government that is looking to change the negative gearing system that the Prime Minister see editorial subject above is using to its absolute hilt so he can by a four point three million dollar holiday house that he has no plans to move into, no plans to stay in, plans to rent out as soon as possible because it'll be the prime minister for as long as possible, meaning you'll make as much money as possible.
What a giant surprise.
That the bloke who's done all of those things is now the captain of the losing team. Or maybe something better happened today for the Prime minister. Perhaps he surrounded himself with winners today. Did he Where was he today? Let's have a look. Oh he was in Queenstand with Stephen Miles.
Wow.
You know Stephen Miles is excited when he's got the sunglasses on to make it seem like he's not walking with Anthony Oberneze. But anyway, are the Prime Minister and Premier very excited today that they were riding around on the fifty cent fares that in part will push the Queensland budget deeper into multi billion dollars worth of debt.
I want people to vote Labor in Queen Center and a return Stephen Miles as the premier and this Blake here as a deputy premier, because I want a government that actually cares about Queenslanders.
Oh don't they just it just helps if you're a Labor MP.
If they care about Queenslanders, you know they would expect that when you call Triple O, the police will be able to turn up, actually arrest the person responsible, in the person responsible for the crime it's been committed to actually be punished. If you really want to take care of Queensland as you'd like, assystem where if you call Triple O, the ambulance will actually turn up.
People have died of course waiting, which it's nothing here, right, nothing to worry about. We're just doing a press conference. The idiots or fall for it. Right that if you do get in the back of an ambulance, you won't have to go to a hospital.
They have to sit and wait in the corridors of a hospital where yes, you might die, that's happened too. You may will actually be able to call t get in the back of an ambulance and then go into a hospital. I know that doesn't happen either because of hospital waiting an ambulance waiting.
But nothing to see here.
Stephen Miles has got a brand new idea that will signal handedly win him the election. Free lunch is for every private, very public school kid in Queensland. Now think of this matter what you will. It's on the latest pile of stuff they've got no money for. But you know this will win some people over. I can't pretend it's not. They've just got so many of these different announcements. But the question should always be going to pay for it? But it's not quite an idea that he's always believed in.
You see, while Stephen Miles on Sunday was all smiles along with the Education Minister and even his own family members when he was announcing the policy, is slightly different from what it was when the policy was suggested just a few years ago. For example, here is Stephen Miles at this election.
Free school lunches don't just improve the cost of living for parents by lowering grocery bills. Free school lunches improve educational health and life outcomes well.
The Education Minister, who was at the announcement on Sunday, giggling and laughing as long as the Premier was making his free lunches and making his free lunches promise, What was herview about the taxpayer funded lunches when it was an idea from the LNP at the last election role tape.
What we're trying to do here is solve a problem that really doesn't exist.
And they wanted at one point one six billion.
Dollars to see Oh yeah, and the promise that was one point one six billion that apparently was solving a problem that didn't exist. It is now one point four billion dollars And how's that going to be paid for?
Again, Premier, this will be fully costed in our plans. The additional spending will need to be funded through debt until we return the budget to saplus.
Credit just credit card. Don't worry.
Doesn't matter what happens in two years time, two months time. It always one matters what happens in two weeks time. As these people desperately do any and everything they can to scratch the walls, will hopefully the gravitational pull of the Queensland people drags them from office. Billions upon billions upon billions of dollars they don't have. But so he can stand in front of a sign, or he can cut an ad in between the shows that.
You watch faedecon.
Oh you surely schools who are demanding this right, that would be the perfect example of the people who may well be able to chat that. So it's an idea that was in search of a problem four years ago. It's now costing more and it'll go on the credit card meantime. David Cruci fully today the alternative premier in Queensland. He's remaining laser focused on youth crime rightly so, among other things, he held up the numbers today to say why there'll be more police should he become premier for.
The last election the government promised and I believe it's about fourteen hundred and fifty additional full time equivalent police officers. Well as of today there are eleven hundred short. Well, that means the thin blue line keeps getting thinner, so what we're offering is an end to that.
He's also made a very practical decision that if the person who is driving the high speed car that has been stolen, it doesn't matter how old they are you will still keep pursuing them. Under the lefty world, what happens is is that the thirteen year old has allowed but then doesn't get chased by the police in case they crash the car. And now, of course they still may crash the car because they're speeding the car.
But don't tell anyone.
Crucif fully says, if you're old enough to reach the pedals and you can make it go that fast, yeah, the cops will follow you.
We want to find a balance between safety of officer but sending a message to young crims that the days of them so they're living in an episode of Grand Theft Auto has to be a thing of the past.
Now, apart from Stephen Myles ads the whole time where they refer to as the new Premier, new Premier, new Premier.
All the time in Queensland.
Wow, it's annoying those ads, but still someone will fall for them. There is a particularly impactful ad and it features this man, Russell Field. Russell Field is running for the LNP, but the only reason he came to prominence was for the most devastating of reasons that his daughter, who was pregnant, died.
You know the story if you know Queensland.
But this man, rather than sitting back, just like the Markhams, has decided to turn family tragedy into something to make sure that tragedy does not happen to other people. The Great Jonathan Lee sat down with him earlier today. He's part of their conversation about what drives him. Went through years after the accident of nothing happening, and there were still victims time after time.
So I thought, well, you know, if i'd understand.
Up, who will Russell wants youth defenders who do adult crimes to do adult time.
If it stops one kid from stealing a car and go and killing somebody that's done its job, good on your mate.
All the best. Hope you get elected. I hope the government changes Queensland. It's up to you. Don't assume somebody else is doing it. Don't assume somebody next door is going to do it. Next week, the stories will come out that the Poles getting tired. They always do during an election. The government's currently there.
It's just spending other people's money, like the drunken sailors that they are using a very sharp political team that they have to try to convince people there's nothing to see here.
You know, there's plenty to see here.
Maintain the rage, maintain the focus, get rid of this government.
You've got a couple of weeks to do so. Early voting has started, yes.
Meantime, there's an election before the queens An election, which is just before the American election, and that is the Act election. In fact, it's happening this weekend. The Act leaders they debated of recent days, the Act Libs trying to get closer than they've gotten a long time. The same government's been in place for what twenty something years. Andrew Barr one of the worst of the chief Ministers that the Joints ever had.
Well, of course, because he's.
A labor man, he never gets expected to be pushed off his perch. But hopefully that happens, hopefully by the Liberals, if not by the lefty Canberra Independence connected back through to Pocock and all the rest of it, but most likely out of a surge in Greens.
Why because we all know.
How not quite the real world at the time, the left.
Wing part of the Act is.
But I wanted you to see just how crazy the Greens have become and just how fearless they are about the types of people that they believe should get responsibility of running a government in Australia.
What about this bloke?
This blow claimed the politicians are called for them to be hanged, and he had bragged in the past about his drug use. Let's focus on the hanging. This guy still a candidate. Didn't get sacked as a candidate. Remember if somebody was a one nation candidate, THEYD said stuff like this, imagine what everyone would be saying.
But I don't know what's a green.
The party was forced to clarify to the candidate for the seat of Courageong disavows violence after social media post surfaced where he said he wanted to quote effing killed politicians and send them to the Hague and hang them in the street because of the treatment of asylum seekers. Again repeat, if this was a center right party, could you imagine how dare you preference this part? That's no problem.
He gets to continue past, go collect two hundred dollars fingers Cross become a member of the glorified local council in the act. Oh yeah, not the only one. What about this one? Green's candidate apologizes after door cam catches her, removing queens and Liberal pamphlets.
I loved this footage.
The footage shows Libs putting it under the door and then the Green turning up noticing the Liberals putting hers under the door and yanking it. No problem, nothing to see here. But if you think that's just small fright again same person. The ABC has revealed a twenty year old candidate in the electorate of Murrham Bidji wrote a blog post which you compared the terrorist figure September eleven
mastermind to Jesus Christ. An Act Green spokesperson said the candidate's post was fiction and creative writing exercise.
Oh okay, okay, two candidates two in the Act.
How can anyone vote for the rest of the Greens team who are fine with those people being those that make it up? Politicians should be hanging in the streets or Asama bin Laden and the masterminds of it are like Jesus Christ. Meantime, another if you think the current level of elected Greens are out there, what about the next level the young Greens that are coming through. The young Greens have said that it is legitimate to you attack MP's officers. Less than five percent of Australia agrees.
With this position. I can show you the polls.
Well, the news to US Greens, they showed this post of Peter Khalil, the Labor MP's office, being attacked because he's backing the wrong side in Israel. Gaza News of Wals Greens consider property damage as a legitimate form of non violent direct action. The News of the Walds the Young Greens acknowledge the long standing history of the Green
supporting nonviolent direct action. Oh, because it's only property. I remember rememberhen Adam Ban said that when idiots were gluing themselves to parts of the Federal Parliament or setting things on file, and those baby carriages just property. Of course, if it's the property that they own, they'd go. No, it's if it's a property that the taxpayer owns, well whatever, there's just money on the credit card for that. All right, America, Let's go to Trump and Harris.
Here latest, Betty.
As we get close now less than three weeks, less than three weeks, we'll be in the States.
We've got a lot to do between now and then.
In fact, I think I literally have one day off in the next few weeks, and I'm very happy because we get to go everything from Tazzy this weekend with our town to Queensland for the election, and then over to the US bookies fifty five forty six in favor of Trump. They say, according to the money, that Trump wins Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, that she wins Michigan, she wins Nevada, she wins Wisconsin.
If that's the case, he.
Wins and he wins only just what about the polls going into this the third last week, Trump is winning the polls in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. If that happens against more than three hundred electoral votes, he needs just two seventy to win.
If people think on it, all could be wrong and Harris is fine.
Let's compare. Harris nationally is up one point seven. Biden four years ago was up nine point two. Hillary is up six point seven and she lost.
Johnson.
She leads, but currently Trump leads in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Biden led by bigger margins, but the polling was off, and of course Clinton couldn't be
more wrong in twenty sixteen. But before you think, oh well that's it home in host time to go and put the fight fight fight flag out the front, you need to know there are other people who look at poles and then they start to pull poles out of the average poles because they think they're two left wing or their two right wing. Generally speaking, I think they pull out too many right wing poles to get a result
that's good for left wing five point thirty eight. Their data says Harris wins fifty four out of one hundred times. When you look at the data, Trump fifty six. I think this week, if the numbers keep going the way they do the Nate Silver version Nate Silver used to run five point thirty eight. Since then, they've changed some of their methodology. Harris fifty one percent chance of winning Trump forty eight percent. That should change this week if
pols kept going the way that they are. Why because his belief is that she will win Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada.
She holds onto all of that. She has the presidency.
But apart from the data, apart from the money, let's just look at who you think is the winning campaign, the one who's booking Madison Square Garden in a state that they absolutely will not win, but still the Trump campaign wants it because it's an iconic venue. Do you think they're winning? Or the Harris campaign, who are putting out ads with blokes pretending to say, I'm a man and I'm a real man, and a real man cries, and a real man is a farmer, and a real
man votes for Kamala Harris. Or Another sign that Harris is not where she wants to be is that she's now getting back into the mind games. They were successful at the debate when she was pushing him on crowd sizes, all the rest of it. He lost his brain. She won the debate. So this is what she said on television just yesterday.
His staff won't let him do a sixty minutes interview. Every president for the last half century has done when anyone who's running for president, everyone has done it except Donald Trump. He will not debate me again. I put out my medical records. He won't put out his medical records. And you have to ask why is his staff doing that, And it may be because they think he's just not ready and unfit and unstable and should not have that level of transparency for the American people.
All Right, Donald tam done Fulford.
The reason he didn't do sixty minutes is because when he died four years ago, they said the Hunter Biden thing was a complete makeup of Russian disinformation, the medical records thing. Who cares as for the debate, well, of course, as the president problem President has said, the only reason you want to rematch is if you have lost.
But the audea about medical records.
Kamala Harris is aware of who her boss is and has been for the past four years. She is aware that she was part of the entire story that has never been explained about how long they knew that Biden was as cooked as he was, but they kept cheering him on, clapping him on and giving him a standing ovation as good old Yeah. Last thing we learned today is that Kamala Harris will be doing an interview this week Fox News. Brett Bell will be the one who'll
be doing the interview. But she thinks this is a reaching into the lions den, and she's more courageous because Trump on't go into the other deck.
Well, guess what Brett Bea is going to do?
Ask her about how long did you know about Biden going to ask her about flip flopping all the stuff she's been afraid of, and she's crumbled when she has been asked by a friendly journalist. Too clever by half and starting to get desperate. The money, the polls, the data and always look at what they're doing.

Thank you, sir.
Hello, So I'm got to ask you this question all right last week. Yeah, we're pushing it uphill, telling us that the Turett's see nothing to see Okay, okay, Prime Minister, cost of living, housing, all the rest of it. On a day when food Bank comes out and says three and a bit million people, Food Insecurity decides that's the
day four point three million dollars. Not for the house he's planning to move him to because he's about to finish up, but it's a place he's going to rent out because Jodie's a coasting Yeah.
Look, I got nothing good. It's terrible.
I'm looking allowed to buy whatever house. You know, I had assumed that this was something he was going to do at the end finished. I mean, he's already got two pretty nice houses that he was going to do after And it's just a terrible look. I can understand. I think he's in a bit of a love bubble or whatever, but it's a it's an awful look. I don't know anyone who thinks it's anything but just an awful look.
I've got.
You know, my wife is just like, what the what is he?
I'm like, I don't know, it's not my fault. And labor p labor people. I've spoken and were just going, what the actual and look?
And I'm sure that he throws the toys out of the cot and gets the Harry hits if.
You say things like that.
But the reality is, when you are somebody who is looking for all the ways to look for the positive, and we all know I've been there with certain prime ministers, there has to be moments where you turn around and go, no, sorry, and better man you than I for being able to say that about something like this, Holly, again, for all the stated reasons right now, again, is he allowed to do this? Sure? Right, but he's not about to leave. He's got two taxpayer funded homes. So it's just because
he can. So does he have a death wish? Or is he so full of himself that nothing touches him? You know, I am, I am nothing but sort of you know, slippery surfaces built on top of slippery surfaces, teflon, there we go.
Look, I just when I read it this morning, just could not believe it. I mean, it is just completely and utterly tone death. I mean, he's entitled to buy hope, can afford it great, you know, that's whatever, that's his prerogative. But when you are the prime minister of the country who promised to cheaper, more wages, cheaper cost of living, cheaper everything else that was going to be great, two hundred and seventy five dollars off your power bills, none
of which has eventuated. In fact, it has gone so far in the other direction as you've been sharing, the food bank, research, the food insecurity. I mean, this government has managed to generate a working poor, something we've fundamentally never really had before. This government, in a very short period of time, has managed to create a new class of Australians. And the fact that he is out there, I mean, I can't afford a four point three million
dollar home. In fact, I don't even think I could afford the rent from the four point three million dollar home. But I mean, you know, he's bought in an area at the Central Coast, and I look after a lot of that region as part of my duty. Seats there are people living in caravans up there because they cannot find rental properties. Now, I'm pretty sure this isn't going
to go on as an affordable rental. Pretty sure someone who's on a teacher and a policeman's wages aren't going to be able to afford the rent that's being asked on this let alone, if it's going to be an Airbnb short stay rental, because that'll be a kicker. But then we'll find out as well whether or not it's negatively geared, and whether it's being used as a tax deduction, because I'm assuming there'll be a mortgage on it, whether or not it's geared so that the rental payments will
cover that. I mean, it is so tone deaf. It is an insult I think to every Australian. And the fact that you know he acknowledges that he's on a good wicket now, but still tries to tie it back to his mother, who lives in social housing her whole life. No one is extraordinary, extraordinary, it's going to be.
Look, you know, I've got it now.
He's just showing how many days on board with Aspirational Australia and he's putting his body. That's what it negative gear.
You know.
I've actually been thinking about you all day, Joe, wondering how we were going to deal with this tonight because.
I thought how he all right?
Okay, so I want quick hits on both of you because I went along at the start.
But I want to make most of this year when.
I was in queens any if you have a look for whose names on the tinder.
Now, give me an idea here, Joe, where can you buy an election?
I was in Queensland on the sheer base of advertising alone. Labour's writing it right like right in there. Okay, we know that they're sort of going out the back door. But for people who half pay attention only said the billboard all of these things, right, I don't know. Simple question, can you buy an election? Because they're really trying.
You can and the Teals have done it, but there's nothing like there's no amount of money that labor can throw at this election, and indeed it's making the sort of promises that it makes. And you see with governments in their death throws after they've won one term too many, where they make promises that they know they cannot keep, and they make them on that basis, they propose things that are so expensive, so out there, so crazy that
they know they'll never be held account for them. This is just this furniture saving exercise appearance important.
And Kamala Harris going on Fox News ultimate sign of strength or a little bit of a sign of panic, Holly.
I think it's absolute desperation and it's actually extraordinary. I think you're right. I think I'm going to ask a hard question. She hasn't been able to coherently answer anything when it's been softball questions to her, to the point that they've had to edit her answers together to try and make them into a sentence. I actually think this will be better to watch than the debate. I think this could be an absolute cracker and bring it on.
I love you, Holly, thank you very much, Love you, Joe, love you all, Love you all.
See you next week. You see you. We all end of lovely. That's the word should be cuddles for everyone. I don't know Nigel's a huggable.
We'll find out straight after the break You're on Paul Murray Life. Nigel Farah one of the great freedom fighters, a man who, just like myself, is hopefully get nervous of what might be coming in the next couple of weeks. Of course you can see him on GBN News. You can see him in the Reform Party in the UK Parliament. Nigel, I look at one set of data, it all feels
like twenty sixteen all over again. I look at another set of data and go, yeah, but are you obsessively looking into the this and the that of it all? Or you've just got to go with your gut and you know, the sense of things remains as strong as it did for Trump six months ago.
Well, the important point to make is that Harris, after this initial honeymoon rather false honeymoon, I should say, created by the press, that's all gone. Her performance on sixty minutes was abjacks. Now, you know, let's see how you get some old Fox news is Trump is leading in all of the key swing states of that there is no doubt. However, however, the leads are so small in three or four of them we're talking one one and a half max two percent, that it is within the
margin of error. So I still if you put me up against the wall, I'm going to say Trump wins. But goodness me, this is going to be very very tight. I've got this funny hun ship might all come down to Pennsylvania. We won't find out for about four days here.
Well, you're right, right, which is that no matter whether it was a mailing vote or an early vote, they can't count anything until election day, and even then there are restrictions about whether it's when the polls close. So imagine all of it at once. Yes, it wouldn't be nice if, just like in the UK, they just count till dawn. Instead, they sort of stop in the middle of the night and we'll see. At least it's not
like Australia. Well, where we vote on Saturday, they take Sunday off for counting and they get round again on Monday.
I know France is the best country in the world at this, and it's not often I recommend France, but they are the best at They are the best at this. They don't allow early voting, no postal voting unless you've got a reasonably good reason. You turn up, you show id right, you go into a private booth with a pencil and a piece of paper. The votes are empted before everybody counting agents can watch. They have a result within four hours of the election. The French have got
this right. There are never any accusations of fraud or jiggery pokery of any kind of tool. We should all do it the way the French.
Do correct, correct, I can sit down on a T shirt sometimes soon Nigel for us. Let's all do it the way the French do it all right now, they're King Charles and King Charles coming here in the next little while. I just can't believe that our state leaders, the premier, so many of them have basically said, sorry, something.
Else to do.
These people would turn up if, as they have big international star is turning up to play rock concert, being international star is turning up to entertain at the football. Surely you can turn up for the head of the Commonwealth.
Yeah, I mean, look, regardless of your political view on the future constitutional status of Australia. And yeah, you know there are those that you would much rather have you as a sort of rather dreary republic. But that's fine, that's your choice not to turn up, not to turn up for the head of a commonwealth, the head of state.
It's just damned rude. And for Australia, for Australian politicians to be treating your closest ally in the world, people with whom you know, many many millions of your country are directly related. I can't think of a bigger, more churlish insult than just for all of them not to turn up. I honestly, and perhaps you think I'm standing a bit stuffy in English, it's dreadful.
Oh no, I'm completely with you, because a bad from anything else. Right, not only are you guaranteed the invite, not only are you guaranteed to sit in the front row, you're guaranteed you're going to meet him. Okay, it's not like, hey, come along and look, maybe you'll set up the back of the bust and eventually we'll get to you. Right, so you know there's going to be an interpersonal moment. Surely,
at the very least curiosity about a world figure. But as you say, the obvious connections of family and the system of government. Like as I said, they would turn up to the head of insert church.
Or the head of insert lobby.
Group, the King of the Commonwealth who has a direct collection to the governor who swears you in when you win an election.
Yeah you turn up, yeah, yeah. Honestly, I don't know what they're thinking. I don't know why. But it's funny, isn't it. Because we saw this with the voice referendum. We saw this with the monarchy referendum twenty five years ago. It's a very strange thing. Often political leaders are out
of touch with their own electorate. And I bet if we did an opinion poll in Australia right now as to whether they should turn up overwhelming ority would say as a matter of common courtesy, if nothing else, they should be that well.
If there is an enterprising news organization, I hope they do so, and do so soon. Alas, the only responsibility I have is just to sit here, but I get to.
Talk to great people like you. Nigel.
Thank you so much. We'll see you again when I'll be just in case in a week's time. Thank you mate, all right, Nigel Frans There, of course, the leader of the Reform Party in the UK.
