From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Take you gain no sooks, no left is this Sunday night, looking forward to that debate your bold predictions and wait till I show you the latest example of albonomics. If there's any debate about how bad the last budget was last week, well we'll drive it home for you in a moment of two time. But first, and most importantly, did you say that a police officer was stabbed in
Sydney this afternoon? Happened in broad daylight. Presumably some footage will come forward in the next little while, but a police officer was stabbed not once, but twice in the head. This happened on Elizabeth Street in the heart of the city. The person who police believe is responsible ultimately was tasered
and taken into custody. Now, this does speak to a horrible problem that exists with knife crime, specifically knife crime in New South Wales and Sydney specifically, But there speaks to a broader issue I'll get to in a second. Here's what police updated this afternoon about this event.
Shortly after one pm today, a thirty three to three year old male approached two constables who were performing traffic duties on the corner of Castle Raham Park Street. That thirty three year old male has produced a kitchen style knife about thirty centi minutes long and stabbed the mile constable in the back of the head a number of times.
The injured officer and a female officer then given chase along Park Street up to Hyde Park near Elizabeth Street, where, assisted by a number of other police officers, that offender was arrested.
Now let's just all take a second. How bad is this. We're not talking about somebody who produced a weapon while they were being arrested. We're not talking about somebody who had produced their weapon in order to commit an earlier crime, and in the tussle of being arrested, the police officer was stabbed. No, as the police just told us, they were sitting there, this bloke comes up behind them and twice in the back of the head. The officer is struck.
Now for every very obvious reasons. If producing a blade, they want to hurt, If they're going after the head, well pretty obvious that they want to kill. Now. Charges will be laid in the next couple of hours, so we'll all be limited about what we can say from here, but this is a horrific incident and an example of the type of crap that police officers have to put up with every single day. Did you know that there are two and a half thousand assaults against police that
happen each and every year. That's according to the crime statistics in New South Wales. Now this was referred to as stable in the statistics, but when you break down two and a half thousand, that is six point nine or seven assaults on police officers every single day, Sunday in winter, Thursday in summer, every single day, public holiday, weekend, long weekend, leap year. Seven officers every day are assaulted. Now, they are not a soul as badly as this officer
has been. We'll find out exactly what his status is in hospital throughout the hour. But to the men and women of our police force, it must be incredibly hard to get up and go to work each and every day. Think about even on the best day, you meet most people on their worst. If that people who've never interacted with the police before, this is something that they will never forget if they're a victim of crime, no matter
how allegedly small. All the way through the most serious, of course, it changes your life, but for the police who have to keep going back to the same houses, or back to the same streets, or back to the
same suburbs. And now the idea, as has been too frequently remembered on Police Remembrance Day, that there is a chance, every time you say goodbye to your family before you go off on the twelve hour shift, which is always extended because of the paperwork that you have to do, you may never come home to the men and women of the police force who get up and go towards trouble every day. Thank you to their families who lend us the women and men of the news of us
police force. Thank you to any and everyone who is thinking about joining the police force, please do, and good on you. These people are amazing. Let's see how our culture reacts to what is an absolutely sickening and despicable act, but one that I believe has been too normalized. Show the numbers again. Two and a half thousand officers every single year. Two and a half thousand assaults on police,
seven every single day. That's in one state, one year. Disgraceful. Now, in a second, i'll show you the polling in and around the federal budget and surprise. Surprise is laded with a thud. But there's something that we haven't spoken about in the past couple weeks because it's all this other news around airbus elbow. Of course, this prime minister loves flying overseas, to fly overseas, to fly overseas. He's even apparently nicknamed it Toto one after the dog Ah the
kid so relatable. And of course he turns up in every country waving as if there's hundreds of thousands of people there to meet him, even though it's often just local officials shake your hand and some people taking photos. It's not the president of the United States, it's the
Australian Prime minister. And like all labor prime ministers, he gets a little bit too excited with the world stage because it's not as complicated as dealing with things here back and home, and it's millions and millions and millions of dollars. Well, last week, while the federal government was so generously giving people thirty six dollars a week in a tax return, so generously giving us twenty five dollars a month to help pay off the power bills, guess
what was buried in the detail. Elbow's getting a new plane and they're buying another one for the ministers too. This story is just breaking as we speak on the Australians website. Will be on the front page of the paper tomorrow. Two planes, four hundred and fifty million dollars luxury private jets for the Prime minister. He gets one for himself, the puppy and CEOs who want to suck up to him, and the ministers and high ranking public
servants they get one too. Seriously, is there any other better example of other people's money than we're dealing with the cost of livering by giving you a fistful of nothing, whereas they get not one, but two private jets that they can fly at the same press conference at the same time. Welcome to our bonomics, ladies and gentlemen. Big stuff to talk about. Out of Melbourne now, there was
a rally today against anti Semitism. Now, for those who saw the rally, they saw that this was an attempt by in part the Christian community as well as a Jewish community to push back on what has been an identifiable, growing problem that has been going on for the past few months. But then there was a thing called a counter protest. The counter protest no subtlety here, smash racism, crush Zionism, put the booth through the country of Israel in the genocide. Now, this is all the stuff that
pretends to be pro Palestinian, but it's not. It's pro Hamas because it is about flushing away a Jewish voice here in Australia. The protests as they made their way through Melbourne today, well, of course the counter protest to the reasonable protest ends up producing an awful lot of police pushing shav and all the rest of it. Now I have had enough of the counter protest because it
is the counter protest that always causes the trouble. You know that, when it's women who want to speak for their rights on the front steps of the Parliament, it's the counter protest that brings out all the police and begins the scuffles. The left always think that they are able to confront on the streets the ideas that they
disagree with. Now inevitably, this is why things turn violent, and inevitably it's why people who should be able to stand up and speak on their own behalf don't because they're afraid of the intimidation that's going to come their way.
As you saw yesterday, a bunch of allegedly pro Palestinian, but most likely Prohomus people were marching against the Victorian Labor Party conference amazingly while they were inside and the doors were being kicked down or kicked in, i should say, by the protest as the Prime Minister was behind those locked doors telling delegates that they've done a wonderful job with social cohesion. The Premiere, in response to these scenes out of the race course, I'm disgusted. No one should
be cowered by these bullies. Just into Allen says, today's protests and intruders brought violence, homophobia and antisemitis in the front door of the State conference. I'm disgusted. No one could be cowered. No one should be cowed by these bullies. As Premier, my priority is a cohesive society were all Victorians feel safe and respected, and that's what she's allegedly fighting for. Well, what's the response to what happened today?
What's the response to people who wanted to have an antisemitism rally, not pro Israel, not thank goodness they're dropping the bombs, not let's take the death Tolder thirty six thirty seven forty five thousand in Gaza. It was a protest trying to fight antisemitism, hatred of Jews. Oh no, but that protest can't just happen. I know that people that are righteous, the ones that are right on man, decided to get in their face. Now, as you know,
this is wildly complicated. But where the line is drawn very clearly for me, is that when an event is being held to mourn the dead of October the seventh, yet people turn up on that same day to try to intimidate Jews. That is not for the Palestinian people. When there is a protest this weekend to stop antisemitism, people try to confront it and scream and carry on in their face. That is not for the people of Palestine.
That is people who believe like that image has shown us that the state of Israel should be white from the map. That's not about two state solutions. That's not about the ability to freely move from the West Bank into Gaza, for it to be a country where the Israelis and Palestinians operate equally, equal voice, all of that nut. That is about the overt intimidation of one population. Now, there is an absolute reason why there are protests in our cities each and every week about tens of thousands
of people being killed in Gaza. And you can simultaneously be somebody who like myself, supports the state of Israel, but also believes there has to be a limit to what the response is to October seventh. That's big and complicated. But the idea that people frankly intimidating Jews because they can and then pretending that they're doing it for the right reason is garbage. BS. Now, it's interesting behind closed doors at the Labor Party conference, that was the line
in the sand for the premiere. What about what happened on the steps of the Parliament today. Let's see what she says tomorrow. After all, she's kind of been softly softly on many different allegedly pro Palestinian but at times pro Hamas marches that have happened in Victoria. Now, as for the actual war itself on the show, I've always tried to tell you about what might move the needle. Now without boring you, Benjamin Netanyah, who is only the
Prime Minister of Israel because of a coalition government. Now that coalition government has got insight at some very hardcore people that have basically said they want to wipe Gaza off the map through to puposedly more centrist or slightly left leaning people, and one of the slightly left leaning people is now saying they will walk away from the
government and thus it will collapse. No one will be in charge of Israel until yet another bloody election unless Benjamin Nenya, who comes forward with what does winning look like? How long are we still going to continue to do this now? Some will push back and say you can't possibly rule an end date, because then you're telling the terrorists what to do. The point is for Benjamin na who to be in power, for his Defense minister, to
stay in power, they need to have this coalition. The news is big tonight if one of the members of the coalition is willing to walk away from it unless those plans are articulated. You can like or dislike the news. That is the news tonight. Will update you again in greater detail tomorrow. But again, one of the reasons why Israel is under the pressure that it is right now
is because of the effect on Joe Biden electorally. You see Joe Biden in the United States as a chance of losing the presidency because of younger voters who do not agree with his position. In fact, some forty four percent of Democratic registered voters responding to a poll just this weekend or sorry, last week so that they disapprove of Biden's handling of the crisis. Democrats who have who have disapproved of his response and now say they are
less likely to vote for Biden at all. Now they're not going to go over and vote for Trump and they're not going to vote for Biden. The question is if all of this magically ended tomorrow, would they eventually come back to Joe Biden or have we passed many many points of no return and therefore they won't vote. So that's the politics, that's the news. Always try to tell you what's going on, and we can all have
our opinions after that. But it's pretty precarious in the United States for Joe Briden, it seems to be if that coalition breaks, even more precarious for Benjamin Nia and whether that means you double down or you start to pull back or wait and see together. Now, while this weekend was supposedly all about the prime Minister and the Treasurer going from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea. As we move around to tell us how amazing the
federal budget was. Remember best case scenario average tax power about thirty six thirty four to thirty six bucks in tax cuts per week. Think about your last weekend. How far would that have gone? Lett alone twenty five dollars a month, seventy five a quarter or three hundred a year, which you don't get, by the way, It just paid to the power company to bribe them to not put up your bill that you end up getting. That's the government.
But as we showed you on Thursday, Peter Dutton a lot clearer, a lot easier to understand than the if. But maybe he's carry the one stand on one finger. Look for the asterisk that the government is putting forward now. He believes that one of the main things we have to do in this country is stop the number of people that are coming in. Not because he or anyone who supports him hates the color of people, what they
believe in any racial issues. This is because we know when you've got already record waiting for ambulances, when you've got infrastructure that is crumbling. When you've got lines around the block for a house, adding more people to that is not very clever. So he says if he becomes Prime Minister that he will absolutely take a slash for a couple of years to those that are coming into
the country. We believe that by rebalancing the migration program and taking decisive action on the housing crisis, the Coalition can free up almost forty thousand additional homes in the first year and well over one hundred thousand homes in the first five years. We will reduce the permanent migration program by twenty five percent from one hundred and eighty five thousand to one hundred and forty thousand for the
first two years, in recognition of the urgency of the crisis. Now, I love these people who say, well, hang on, but what about the skilled migrants. Yeah, there's place for them, but maybe not their families, maybe not the extra world of foreign students. And I do of the foreign students argument. Now, for a couple of years, every university in the world, including ones here in Australia, learned how to deliver degrees
not in person. So could somebody please tell me why if you want to study, and you qualify to study, and you pay up front to study at an Australian university. You can't do it on the internet from another country. Again, you were able to work from home to this very day in the public service. Why not study from home? Because apparently the economy is all connected to the many, many versions of the Ponzi scheme that just means keep adding more people, more people, more people, and everyone who
eclips a ticket makes money. But everyone else who is amongst the community sees the problems that exist as a result. So I think it's very clear, let's cut immigration. Lot's any in a second wire. Australians agree with that and agree with it in absolute drives. But then there's the other issue, the issue that I talked about last week, the issue that I believe is being talked about in homes even more than the tax policy energy policy, which is how the hell are their kids or grandkids going
to be able to buy a house? Well, an idea that costs the government nothing, And don't you love all the labor people saying, worry on, how do you cost it? This costs nothing? Ban the number of people from overseas bringing their money or sending their money here to bid against your kids and grandkids for a house. We will implement a two year ban on foreign investors and temporary residents purchasing existing homes in Australia. And I watched it
in real time after the speech last Thursday. What was the lefty talking point, da da da da get done? And how was it? Well, apparently it was a populist speech on Channel two. Things like Australia first, well, that's not really Australian politics. And a real reference to Trump, because I remember they're going to try to go Trump
Trump Trump on Peter Dutton. But who has a problem with cutting immigration which stops the pressure everywhere from our hospitals and the bidding and stopping overseas people bidding on houses, that stops the pressure on prices. Well, of course Jim Chalmers, who's still out there saying, hey, I deserve a gold star. I'm buying the Prime Minister a jet. I'm getting a jet, but you're getting thirty six bucks a week.
It'll cost the economy billions of dollars. But even the kinds of estimates that you will see are conservative because it's not possible to fully capture the damage that Peter Dutton would do to the skills base of this country, to our hospitals, on our building sites, the sorts of things that he hasn't thought through.
Well, this little thing eventually comes around, and I'm surprised it's come around so fast. The opinion polls. The opinion polls are that the budget has landed like the dead cat that we assumed it would be. And what did people react strongly to Peter Dutton's position when it came to immigration and stopping people being able to be foreign buyers when buying homes. This is from the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age tonight. Last year, sixty six percent
of people say immigration was too high. Now they say about fifty percent of people believe immigration too high. In terms of how we're handling it all voters sixty percent, So the government is doing a poor job. It's unexplained. It's just all over the shop. For labor voters it's thirty seven percent. The Coalition voters seventy five percent of them, So there's a problem with immigration, and more importantly, not labor, not liberal sixty three percent of those people. And that
could be everything from one nation to teel. They say the immigration system is in the wrong place. All of it is hurting the Labor Party electorally. Latest opinion poll remember primary voting here, they were at what thirty two of the last election. They're now down to twenty nine Nationally, they are currently behind the Liberal on primary vote. News of was Victoria, Queens and the rest of the country. Nationally it's thirty six percent for the Liberal Party twenty
nine percent for the Labor Party. Now, obviously once you put two and two together, you end up getting two what thirty nine forty one that with the Greens, which means they've got to fight on their hands. What would happen with one nation preferences? What would happen with United Australia preferences? Well, if they do it in twenty nineteen preference a Liberal Party, this thing's going to be close. If it's a fox in all your houses, well then
we get more of the same. But have a look at the comments in this poll released by the nine newspapers. One of the most anti liberal lefty joints that are out there quotes these are voters. I can't understand why millionaires would be given support. They're just trying to buy votes. Yep. We said that on Budget Night we're going backwards financially at a rate of knots. Yep. We said that on Budget Night it's very frustrating to see the government not
doing anything for workers but funding bloods. We said that every night the cost of living and who's going to help more in their budget proposals about which way they're going to vote? Well again, cost of living, too little, too late, empty promises and double speak from the government has turned me off. We've set it every night for two years. I'm always changing, but the latest budget figures have turned me back to the Liberals. Well, hopefully you'll
stay there. I've tuned out of Labor and Albow. They don't listen or care about regional Australia. We've been saying it since day one. This budget's a joke. I'm not voting for them anymore. Well good, I'm thinking of one Nation above the Libs as they're not offering enough to be different from Labor or reckon. The immigration stuf's pretty significant, but anyway it's out of control. So even if you vote one Nation, I think that person end up preferencing
the Libs. Now in fairness, I do have to show you the polls that suggest that the changes to the Stage three tax cuts, the Made in Australia policy, the billion dollars to fight against domestic violence, and the energy bill relief, well they all got support from people, but no further del no further breakdowns abit whether they fully support or slightly support. So basically that's them trying to
polish up their numbers. But the reality even with that three hundred dollars energy stuff, which really works out at twenty five dollars a month, what about the millionaires who own more than one house? Like this labor MP, is he going to claim it for every joint he owns he owns or just the one he lives in.
Paul Fletcher who asked that question, My understanding is he hasn't had much of a business career in his life. He's always been employed in government or in government relations. You know, he doesn't understand how hard it is to make payroll. He doesn't understand how hard it is for a small business to grow. The Treasurer has said is that for each house where that house is tenanted and the tenant is paying the energy bill, the tenant is eligible for that rebate.
Where a house is.
Owned by an individual, that individual is eligible for the rebate.
He earns more than one house that isn't tenant it, so albonrmic's on top of all of this. Alb normally means you get a little crumb off the table, but he gets a plane. In fact, they get two planes. Oh yeah, and the little fiddles with the brackets me and extra workers are going to fall into the top tax bracket next year, meaning they pay more tax. Welcome to Wilbonomics everyone where eventually you end up paying more. Now, the CFMU the political muscle of the Labor Party. Remember
these unions, they're affiliated with the Labor Party. They donate for them, They go out and do the bully boy work when they get out on the poles. Well, how's about this. They protest an awful lot as well, including particularly in this case in Victoria. But what about this story. The sedation is that they want to now get people to more than two hundred thousand dollars a year who are on level one entry level jobs on sites as part of the Big Bill, taxpayer funded building projects by
the state government. Entry level laborers and workers who hold stop and go signs on Victoria's big bill projects are now earning more than two hurred see thousand dollars a year. The Herald Sun has seen tender documents and spoken in industry insiders about the iron grip that the union has around civil construction works funded by taxpayers, which even extends to union delegates, spanning non members from things like toilets
and lunch rooms. Sorry, mate, this one's just for the Uniden whistleblowers have revealed how standouver tactics and intimidation are adding to the bills, with the union's strong arm being builders into using its preferred supplies after tender processes have played out. Oh this is really above board, isn't it? So how does all this works? Thanks to the Herald Sun, they use the data which came in part from the CFMEU.
For an average week, forty hours of ordinary pay forty nine dollars, that's nine hundred bucks, sixteen hours of double time that's fifteen one hundred dollars. You get six days where the travel allowance that's three hundred and fifteen dollars. You get your meal allowance over six days it's one hundred and eighty six dollars. Jeez, I wish we've got some of this stuff when we do a weekend of
our town. Anyway, side allowance for MEIGA projects two hundred and eighty plus, so that is four three hundred and nine dollars a week, otherwise two hundred hundred and thirty two dollars. Similar garbage has been going on in Queensland, but they would like the entry level to go up to two hundred and forty thousand dollars. And who's already approving of some of the stupid deals the CFM you were demanding in Queensland. Oh that's right, giggles, giggles, silly
little giggles. Steven Miles, if ever you get the chance to punt him, please do so. The next election, let's go to America now, Camp down two. The first debate has just been weeks away. Oh gosh. Anyway, the meantime back in the courtroom Monday American time, which is Tuesday our time. And that's when Michael Cohen, the former lawyer and fixer fort Donald Trump, goes back on the stand. Now, when we come off the air last night, it was
last week. It was incredible the lawyers were able to prove that one of the phone calls that he says was a phone call too. Trump to say, yep, sorted out the Stormy Daniel stuff. It was actually a call because literally text messages proved this. It was actually a call to his bodyguard about a fourteen year old crank calling him. It was nothing to do with Stormy Daniels. So the bit that the entire case is pinned on is a lie. But it's New York, so they'll probably
still finding guilty. That said, it means the president had a chance not just to see his son graduate, which he did on Friday, but he was also able to go out and about on the campaign trail. And I've got to say that even when things go wrong, Donald Trump's smart enough to know how to turn it into something else. Have a look, but Americans are not struggling.
You know.
This is the worst platform. Who put this stage up there? This is the freaking place is falling down. It keeps tilting further left, like too many other things. What a crappy contractor this was? Now I put my hand on this thing, and the thing till silver. Oh, this sucker is really tenue. As I'm telling you, at some point I'll be staid.
I won't leave and finish up.
But this sucker is going to be sitting down there on the floor.
So you saw what happens. He leans on the lectern. The lectern, isn't there something breaks underneath it. He turns into a bit, turns it into a riff. Well, of course, this is all a sign of the mental acuity of Donald Trump. Apparently the Biden campaign pounced on it after a gaff Field rally. Okay, if anyone wants to compare the pair, you just saw the format and potentially future president of the United States. He did not fall over. He did not fall over. The current president of the
United States is the one who falls over. He's the one who can't put one foot in front of the other. It doesn't matter whether it's giving a speech like that where it was a sandbag that knocked him out of the way. Whoa, come on, get up, get up again? He can't even walk up the stairs. I mean, how many times can I show you this stuff? Oh the end. Then there's the bike riding president. I'm amazing, look a gel and young Ah, that's all right, fellow, and so on and so on and so on. Compare that to
Donald Trump. Oh, Trump's falling apart, please please, And of course the debates, which will be up in June. The reason they are in June is for two reasons. One, they can't get rid of Biden off the Democratic ticket. To Trump's able to say to the judge, should he be found guilty, don't send me to Joel. I've got a debate coming up in a few weeks time. So smart on both their cases to actually bring it up
to June. But remember how Biden, of course slurs every single day, but for some reason the big occasions he's able to muster up the energy and stay focused. Or Trump says he doesn't want that to happen. He wants the real Biden to turn up to the debates, so that means time to piddle in a cup. Mister President, I'm going to demand a drug test too. By the way, I am, no, I really am.
I don't want him coming in like the State of the Union.
He was, heyre's a cake, he said, is that Joe up there? Beautiful rope?
And by the end of the evening he's like where it was exhausted?
Right? Oh yeah, Trump's falling apart. Falling apart a right, No sooks, no lefties plus Andrew Bogert no lefty either, and we'll get to wall of them in a moment or two's time. We're going to be in Parks this time next week. If you'd like to join us, please send me an email our town at skynews dot com dot au, Parks, Western New South Wales. Come say gooday. Otherwise we'll see on the telly this time next week. Plenty to fire up about next No sooks, no lefties.
In a second, Thank you very much for watching those sooks no lefties here on the show. I give you because I just got my water and you almost saw one of my wonderful producers, Tom, the wonderful James ashby choice is along with the lovely Nicole Flint. Both of you hello, both running for federal Parliament and State parliament collectively. Let's talk quickly here about what happened in Victoria today, because again everyone has a right to protest, free speech,
all the rest of it. But what I've just had enough of, and James, you've seen these for ten years and more right, the counter protest. Now the protest that was really happening at the front of the Parliament today was against anti Semitism, but it was the nut bangs who turned up to that protest and then created the problem now. Yesterday when they turned up at the Labor Party conference, the Premier was saying, do not give into
the bullies. Will she be saying the same when it was on the steps of our own parliament today there was Jewish people, not Labor MP's that were the focus.
Well, the Labor Party and the Greens for that matter, have allowed this Middle Eastern war to now enter our country and this is spilling over into all areas of not just our parliament arena, but into our university campuses. This has been happening week upon week upon week on the streets of Sydney and Melbourne, and we've seen it even in Queensland. Here I was at the upun markets, which was the last place I would have thought we'd have this conversation raised today, but it did surprise me.
This morning. I had two people come up and say.
They were horrified at the idea of Paul Hanson wearing the Israeli scarf around a neck during the week in parliament. And when I pushed back, jeez, didn't I see those tempers flare. There is so much propaganda that has been brought into this country and an actual fact that this war has entered many Western countries.
England's the same, the US is the same. Enough is enough. We should have stamped this.
Out when it started on our streets and at the Sydney Opera House, but instead Labor have fanned the flames.
And this is only worsening. It's got to end well.
And again, Nicole people are smart enough to know the difference between people who may well be marching in support of family members on the other side of the world, right, But when you're banging down the doors of the Labor Party conference or you're confronting people about anti Semitism, you're actually your people that are anti Jewish and pro Haamas. That's the reality. And I do think that there are gradients in this This particular gradient is where I'm absolutely
going to draw triple lines. But again, as to James says, you know, everyone bringing this stuff from overseas to the fight here, we don't want it.
And that's why we have been traditionally one of the most successful migrant nations in the world because people have come here for a new start and a new life, and they've less left those past tensions behind. And I just don't know why this continuing aggression is being tolerated. I don't know why we haven't seen more arrests. I don't know why we haven't seen the use of our human rights laws to address the deeply anti Semitic commentary and placards and things that continue to be used. It's
just not good enough. We need to take a much tougher stance. And, as James said, in our universities as well. So we're seeing this behavior on the streets, no wonder, we're seeing it within our universities. And I just you know, am waiting for the University of Melbourne in particular, who have had a whole building shut down and classes are banned because the pro Palestine or proho Mask whatever they're claiming to be protesters have taken over a whole building.
They need to take a leaf out of the President of Harvard's book, who shut down their encampment within ten days because they said, at Harvard, there will be consequences for your actions. Now, what a novel idea? Why aren't we seeing more consequences for the actions of all of these aggressive protesters wherever they are.
Well, let's imagine what would happen if there was an encampment that the university bosses didn't agree with. How quickly that would be moved away? As opposed to what they've softly softly for a long time here now, Nicole, I think that Peter Dutton's budget response was bang on. Obviously the Labour Party's going to come out and pretend wasn't enough detail, rah rah police how small was the target
for this moment? When they went into power let alone, they pretend they didn't lie about things like two seventy five. And I'll tell you what when you're going around and knocking on the doors of boothby, If you're able to say no foreign buyers at auctions for the next couple of years and a massive cut the number of people coming into the country, what do people say back?
I have been so encouraged and pleased with the response to Peter Dutton's budget in reply address, there is so much support for what we're doing, and you know what people are saying, Paul, They're just like, thank goodness, at lasts some common sense action and real action, not just more platitudes and you know, as Labour keeps pretending that they're going to fix things and then giving us taxpayers money back like this three hundred dollars alledge cut in
your power bills. Well, they promise to actually cut the price of power. They haven't cut the price of power. They're just using taxpayers money and giving it back to
us to pretend they're cutting the price of power. But Peter Dutton's budget in reply response has been extremely well received and people are just so pleased to see a leader who has the courage to stand up and say what everyone else is thinking at long last, and to actually put some practical policies out there, and some brave policies because we know all of the left will just be what they already are tearing him down because he's taken a brave stance on migration. I'll tell you what.
The population, the members of my community, many of them, most of them are welcoming it.
Yeah, James, when you're at the markets, what do they talk about? They talk about the immigration side of it. Are they talking about the power side of it? What are they talking about?
Look, they've been using those slogans for one nation for a long time, we've got the guts to say what you're thinking and common sense. That's what one nation has stood for for twenty six years with Paul Lane Hansen. So look, Peter Dutton's finally jumped onto the bandwagon on pleased that he's dipped his toe in the water and
is talking about reduction of immigration. But when you have a look back at the history of where we thought this country was going to be, Peter Costello, when he was in government, said that Australia wouldn't reach a population of twenty five million until the twenty forties. We have smashed that. We've absolutely obliterated that number. Here we are approaching twenty seven million people and we are finally talking
about the reduction of immigration. No, the truth is we have been poorly planning for the growth of this country for far too long.
This has been decades in the making.
The disaster that we're faced with now, the hospitals, the housing situation, the crime, it's out of control. Why because we have not been putting the resources towards infrastructure. Instead, we've just let the floodgates open. So instead of just dropping our immigration back to one hundred and sixty thousand, Peter needs to think about a moratorium, not net zero immigration, a moratorium on immigration for quite some time, because the reality is we are not coping as a country.
And yes, if.
We stop it, we will reduce those rent prices, we will reduce the cost of housing in this country. But until we take a tough, hard line here, we're going to continue down this path of suffering. That's young people, old people. You know it's two years to get into a nursing home in yr Pun. Nurses here are saying you can wait two years to get into a nursing home. Bugger that No wonder older people are staying down in the southeast corner and not moving the regional parts of
this country. We're ill prepared, ill equipped stop the immigration.
All right now. The concept of the number of people that are on the doll, I know that Pauline's talked about this a lot. How the heck a seventy sixty seven thousand people on the doll after ten years? I mean, James, this problem has been identified multiple times, but nobody ever seemingly wants to pick it up and deal with it. So how do you shake sixty seven thousand people off the doll? If they've been there for teen years.
Well, you've got to take a tough approach, and the reality is we are not here to make a lifestyle out of being unemployed at every other hard worker's expense. If you're a penchianner, you've earned your right to have some time to yourself and not work and rely on those who do work in this country for a better life.
But those grubs that just want to sit there and constantly have their handout, shame on you, because you're not only doing it to yourself, but you're also raising part of your family to think that that's okay as well. So we're ending up with multi generations of these people that think it's okay to live off the taxpayer. We've got to pull this up because it just can't keep
going on. We're going to end up broke as a country, and we need people to go back to work because at the end of the day, working's good for you as much as it is for the economy and for your own self wealth as well.
Yeah. Absolutely, I mean, nicole people watching us right now for whatever reason. If there's a person who can't work, there's a whole series of other categorizations or payments that one can go on to. So the idea that somebody keeps sitting on unemployment benefits, which in my view are too low, but they should be higher the shorter that you're on them, as opposed to somebody who just is able to sit on close to minimum wage. Fourteen years in unemployment.
Yeah, it's pretty extraordinary to hear that length of time that people are spending on welfare. And I mean, I would imagine after a year or two, they've probably lost most of the skills they need to effectively operate in a workplace. And you know, let's remember not to put the burden onto businesses by forcing them or trying to force them to take on people who actually have lost
all of the skills. You know, it's related. I remember that Bill, Bill English and John Key had a really good program that supported single mums to get off of welfare in New Zealand, and they did it through a very careful program. And I just wonder if we need to look at something along those lines for really long term unemployed, because they start going to need some skills to enable them to actually get back into the workforce and not put the burden onto employers.
I'm pretty sure there wasn't anywhere in Laura Tingle's essay about what Australia could learn from New Zealand when it was all just about the dissenter our turn years now quickly to both of you before we get to some bold predictions to the wak ahead. It was ready a story today in Queensland about people who actually live in Fortitude Valley. Now, Fortitude Valley's kind of always been where the rock and roll, the parties, the strippers, all the rest of its arts, where the fun times are. Yet
locals are saying, oh, too much noise. I must complain now, I'm sick of this sort of sook Like if you deliberately live in the city, then there's a certain amount of noise that comes with if you live in the parts of it where there's a rock venue at the other end of the street, then Nicole, why are people complaining? I mean, the reason you live there is for the action of the area. Yet they turn around and winge because at eleven o'clock someone might be playing the drums.
Precisely, you know, if the pub or the live music venue has been there, and usually they have been there for you know, fifty one hundred plus years. Do your research before you move into the air and if that's not your sort of lifestyle, don't move in there. Don't try and shut down again hardworking Aussie businesses providing a wonderful service for the community and keeping our live music
scene alive. We've got a very similar issue here in Adelaide at the moment with the Cranker, the Crown and Anchor Hotel that developers are trying to build residential apartments above it, and they are a protests going on at the moment to try and save it. Because we all know precisely.
What will happen.
Those people who move in will try and shut them down.
I literally remember enough one of my favorite pubs in the world went to every single weekend for the best part of twenty years. Then it two got renovated. The people who moved into the apartments above the pub complained about the pub. Simple solution here, state government gets together with local government. Your grandfather the existing properties for as long as they have been there, and therefore anyone who moves in loses the right to appeal about what has
already been there before them, bugging them. James Bold prediction for the weak ahead.
Bold prediction is label will claim that they were the ones behind eight million dollars for a hospice facility here in Rockampton that opens tomorrow. The truth is it was One Nation and I've got to say thank you to Josh Friedenberg for seeing reason in funding this facility that opens tomorrow, ten new beds, the most northern hospice in Queensland. And we say thank you to both the Coalition and the One Nation.
For good Man, We'll make sure that if you're not there, we'll make sure that you get the credit. And I'm glad you got it tonight. All right, go for it, Nicole.
Well, I'm in my best Liberal blue colors this evening poll because I believe that Peter Dutton's budget and reply response will continue to be far more more popular and successful than the government's budget itself.
I agree, all right, Cutting no foreign buyers is a lot easier than Oh look, you know, if you fill out this form and that form you might get you know, fifty cents back at ps. The Prime Minister gets not one but two new planes. Two new planes. Welcome to ourbonomics. Thank you guys, appreciate it. All right, quick break back with Andrew Boget straight up for this. Lots about the woke wall the sport. Now, thank you so much for watching.
Wherever you happen to be. Let's have a chat right now with Andrew Boget played basketball for his country and stands by it each and every day on Twitter x and on his podcast, the Rogues Books podcast. How are you mate? Very good? Let's talk sausage sizzles. I can't believe this. There's a footy club they have a sausage sizzle, and then somebody who is operating the sausage sizzle blows up about the sausage sizzle.
Yeah. Sometimes generally feed the kids and the parents and stuff like that. Will maybe provide a club fundraiser, and you know, you have someone hiking up about their cause or their political stance on Things'd be really hard to competitions and fundraisers together these days.
I reckon ball. Yeah, a little bit hard. Look again, if you're vegan, good luck to you. There's lots of things you can do in and around the club. But you don't have to change the stakes that have to change because you are the one that wants it to change. There's plenty of other places to go to. Now I wanted to talk to you about Tom Brady. Now, millions of people around the world. I don't know how many watching us right now, but certainly millions of people around
the world watch the Tom Brady Roast. Now, anyone who knows the form of roast comedy, this is when a bunch of people who know you and a bunch of comedians who don't deliberately say the meanest possible things about you for the ammusement of the audience. And at one point, I'm sure it was to raise money for charity. But Tom Brady got paid like twenty million, yes that much for one night, to sit there for three hours and copy it. But he's come out and said, oh I
regret doing it. Now, hang on why he got the twenty minute and he knew what he was in for.
Yeah, I think I watch the roast. First hour was pretty good. The rest was pretty crap in my opinion. But look, if you're his kid watching it, you know probably have a fact at their mother or sorry, their kids. Probably not something you want to watch and probably something you regret. I'm not sure he needed the money to do it, so maybe he should have thought it through
a little bit better. But yeah, those things that are pretty brutal, and there's a lot of kind of stuff that went where over the line, but that's kind of the point of them. It's kind of car crash, you know, where you can't look away.
They literally joke about teammates that were involved in murder like that's how hardcore, let alone the sort of you know what his ex wife may or may not be doing. Yeah, as you say now about concussions, what do you think of this report that such a significan number was at one in ten, So ten percent of all AFL players are hiding what's actually going on between their ears.
Pretty concerning.
You know.
I've only had one concussion, which I was out for a couple of weeks. It took me a while to get back into training and whatnot, just getting busy and all that kind of stuff, and thankfully only one. I've acteammates that have had multiples, And it's it's tough because you still you still want to be out there for the guys and playing, and I notice clubs and people out there in all sports that will try to press you to put you back on the field faster. Have you played through things.
If it's a big.
Game, it'll have a big game, you know, preliminary, final, grand final. I just suck it up and you you'll be all right. But now, knowing what we know about CTE and the long term effects, it's it's a pretty it's pretty testing waters. I'd be really interested to see clubs. I don't think it'd be official pushing it, just because I think the notifications is so big, But it's just
something that you can't avoid with contacts board. He did something like basketball, which isn't a direct contact bort all the time. There's multiple concussions, so you go cautiously, and I think you definitely don't like hearing those kind of numbers.
I mean, to me, it would seem obvious if it's not already happening. But there's got to be some sort of a test that can be done game day, two days later, four days later, and players just know they've got to go through it. It's done independently, so you don't have you know, a club doctor or pressure on a club. And I know it's frustrating for the player who wants to it feels fit enough, and the officials who think it's all okay. But yeah, all right, final
predictions here. I've got a mad Denver Nuggets fan who produces the program, and I am a longtime Knicks fan who is nervous what's going to happen to morrow?
I think the league's on your side, Paul, so I think they're definitely what the Knicks in the conference finals. It might be right, but Indiana is a pretty dangerous team that can get super hot really quick, or they can be really bad. The Minnesota den begins. Want to watch Minnesota big then by forty points in Game six the time the series up, So I think it's anybody's game, and it's just cool to see new teams in there
that haven't been there last couple of seasons. So I'm looking for or to see who gets those coffins files on both sides.
Well, sadly we're out of time now, and no doubt this will be dealt with on the Roguespokes podcast. But if the league plays a role in who wins, we could have a whole other segment, a whole other segment here. We're gonna make some real news around the world, thank you very much, mate. But I'm with you, Yes, I think they want the Knicks there. Appreciate it, mate, all the best. Andrew Boger there with the Roguespokes podcast. We talked to me every couple of Sundays. Quick breakback with
more The Royal Report five minutes from now. A couple of weeks ago, there was a cool art installation which meant that the people of Dublin could waver the people of New York City. Any problem is that the great idea turned out to be a bit of a problem because you see, people would walk up to the portal and do things like this, so they decided to shut it down a last a reminder that sometimes the world
just can't have good things. Or maybe it was a great thing, who knows, but international flashing not acceptable these days and the olden days, though, Oh a story I could tell you. Here comes the Royal Report.
