From the sky Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Hello, Happy Monday, Come on into the man Cave. So much to do tonight. I can't wait to deliver what we've got for you, most importantly, no sooks, no lefties, the way you like it and the way it's definitely going to be tonight to you here on Paul Murray Live with Matt Canavan and James Morrow as our guests in the man Cave and in his own man Cave in Queensland.
It's Christmas Eve for Trump fans. The big Guy is going to be coming down the stairs with presents for everyone. Executive order here, Executive order there, preview for in a second. And Die Lee, the KK killer of the last election. Well she's going round up against the Labour Party. You think they've worked out how to knock her off. I don't think they've got a chance. We'll talk to her a little bit later as part of our ever trending
eye towards that upcoming election. Now you may will have heard that the latest opinion polls are not good for the Prime Minister. They are the same as the ones towards the end of last year, and they now show that Peter Dudden is there and level with Anthony Abinezy as the preferred prime minister. I'll give more detail about that a little bit later, but we have two very different ways of trying to convince Australians to vote the
way they want us to at this upcoming election. Peter Dunton has been giving major speeches where he explains his values. Remember this great line from his speech in Melbourne.
That we send our children to school for an education, not for an indoctrination.
Well in Brisbane, he continued on the weekend, hitting it out of the park with the three questions which have an obvious answer.
The coalition, the Liberal Party, of the National Party, of the LMP.
We are the party of sport business.
We are the party of managing the economy. We know how to fix up labors miss We've done it before and we will do it again after this election.
As for the Prime Minister, well yet again another day, another not one but two billion dollars. Not his money, your money. Money that of course will not turn up in a budget if they happen to pop one out before the federal election. Why it's all investments, you see. Therefore it is off budget. But we decided to go back over the twenty days that we have been together in twenty twenty five and have a look at the Prime minister's wild spending, because a desperate and weak politician
is getting wilder by the day. Have a look at this stuff, right, join me over here today two billion, ten million five days ago, then five million, then twenty million, but we keep going three billion. There was also the best part of four point two billion. Another seven point
two billion dollars. Now all of this has added up to billions, literally billions of dollars that have been promised by the Prime Minister, extraordinary amounts of money, extraordinary amounts of money, which, to be honest, he should be embarrassed by, but of course he's not because he thinks somehow this is all going to turn it around. That's the number that he is currently promising when it comes to the
upcoming election. But guess what, it's not moving the polls because in this election year, one thing is very clear as we must remain laser focused every night, the key questions, the key data, and no one's waking up surprise. But as it was in twenty nineteen, it is again in
twenty twenty five nothing is inevitable. Minority government is not inevitable for this government, likely but not inevitable, but it doesn't Being able to get into a position to form a minority government not inevitable, yet not impossible either, So we have to pick keep an eye on the data. The best data is, of course, the book is they all stay, the coalition is going to form government. Doesn't know which type they say. There's going to be a
change of government at this election. And the latest poll in the Financial Review today shows us that the ALP their primary vote is basically exactly where it was at the last election. Now that means it will be able to hold on too many of its seats. However, however, important to note here that the primary vote at thirty two percent basically the same as the last election. For the LNP, you can see that they are back up
now to the magical forty. If there is a four in front of their number, then they can win an election. In fact, they most likely would win an election. The X factor, as always the teals the fact that the independents across the country are hitting at fifteen percent. Well, this of course matters in lots of different areas. It matters from Dyli in Western Sydney through to Bobcatter in
North Queensland. Of course, it also means the Teals the Greens thirteen percent and there was no number given for one nation or anything else that is on the deck. That means in a two party preferred as you saw before fifty one forty nine, a change of government potentially
on its way. As for the overall trend of things, thankfully, the Financial Review puts together the poll of polls where they show us the image heear of time since the two thousand and twenty two federal election where they went up and then they went down, down and down, and have been sub the best part of fifty certainly for the part us twelve months and if not slightly longer depending
on your different pole. But the bit that is going to cause the Prime minister worry, despite the fact there's a billion here and a billion there, an announcement every single day hoping that somehow people will will run towards a prime minister that they've otherwise wanted to throw into the bin. Well preferred prime minister. Let's have a look at this. Forty three percent for the Prime minister. Forty
three percent for Peter Dunton. It's the exact same findings as the Resolve poll from a few weeks ago, now that had them at thirty five each with a much bigger undecided number. But look at that number, just four percent of Australians still haven't made their mind up, just four percent. And as always, if you take undecided split it fifty to fifty, well they both end up on forty five. Now if it goes you know, three to one, well obviously one of them is going to pull ahead here.
But generally speaking, unless the government is absolutely guaranteed to be terf the sitting prime minister remains the preferred prime minister. But if the opposition leader overtakes the prime minister, you can start to put your bets on with those bookies. But the left immediate reinforcements are there. Our old mate
lefty Laura Tingle, who's been hosting over there on Taxpayer TV. Well, she of course, writing in Taxpayer article on the Taxpayer website, says that Peter Dunn't can't dodge the spotlight as the election draws closer or his unresolved problems. There's something nobody's really seen about this guy. That they're willing to put
level pegging with the current Prime minister. Quote. It feels like for all the world that the Coalition is relying on the disgruntlement of voters with the government for what they are really in for when it comes to tough times for a lot of people, rather than actively producing
serious policies to do nothing about. So she's now having a go at the Liberal Party for being too small a target, when of course I didn't notice any criticism or in fact any reference to what little was offered of the small target at the last election of Anthony Abernezi, where the promise was this, Remember that the Labor government will lower the cost of living. That was the promise. That's
what they got the job. That's what they sat in front of the twenty seven minion Australians as the board of directors and say we will lower the cost of living. None of that has happened, not one bit of it has happened. In fact, everything way higher under this government, you know it from everything from the cost of eggs all the way through to trying to pay off a house.
Oh but Laura's not done yet. She's trying to find the crack inside the Dutton armor, and she thinks, well, to play the old tactic, let's go to the anonymous sources. Some believe that Dutton is just not comfortable talking economics. These some apparently are members of his own team. Whether he is or isn't, there are increasing frustrations among some of his colleagues that it needs to be done. This is the classic Camber game, right, Oh, the leader doesn't
have the full support of the team. There's some discriment with the tactics that they're putting in place. So then all of the camera people turn around and rather than talking about the values that have been expressed in the speeches, the lies that are there for all to see, the
failures that also are as clear as they to all Australians. No, no, no, the question that comes from the professional political classes Prime Minister about what Laura Tingle says, do you have the full support of every MP about everything you are ever doing? And then the story gets written up Dutton unable to confirm. Everyone thinks he is amazing on every point. It's a game.
It's one of the many games. One of you, the many silver bullets that they are going to try to fire in the direction of the person who the Poles are telling us consistently is now even pegging with the Prime Minister who isn't even at the end of his first term. I'll explain the issues about why that's the case. More polling on that in a moment or two is time. But don't forget as well every time when Lifty Laura Tingle or the people who are her anonymous sources play
this game. She thought that Australians response to Peter doesn't saying that we need to lower immigration and stop foreign buyers being able to buy Australian property for the first two years of his Prime ministership. Why he doesn't talk about this more often I don't know, but still that is his policy. Remember what she thought would happen that racist whites would turn on anyone who looked different at an auction.
Major pulling the callity of us be saying, as Nicky says, you know everything that's going roll in this country is because of my grants, and you know I had a sudden flash of people turning out to try to rent a property or at an auction and they look a bit different. What have you defined different?
As?
Basically he has given them licensed.
To their views whatever, But where are their games. I've been around long enough to know how they play them, and I can see them coming a mile off. They are going to go full personal. They think that they can do the full Trump on Morrison and the full Morrison on. But they think they can do all of that. But when Australians are feeling the way they currently are about issues, I don't think they're going to care what
the lefty establishment is going to try to do. You see in the same opinion poll, Let's have a look at the issues and what people consider to be the priority issues. Put simply, you get people in a room, you ask them to mark out of one hundred what the number one priority is for them going into the next federal election. Have a look at this. Seventy three percent say cost a living. What was that promise that they made a couple of years ago that things would
be lower under a labor government. Well, at the end of their first term as we head into an election, seventy three percent of people say it's a number one issue. Therefore, the government has not killed the issue off. In fact, in my view, they've made things worse. As I've been talking about particularly in our State of the Race segment which each every Sunday, we're going to do now and I'm really excited about this, which is on Sunday night.
Michael Krog is going to be here as well as somebody from a polling company who's going to tell us the research they're getting. And Michael knows all the tactics right. And I mentioned that there is a factor in and around this election that I think there are people who are willing to vote Liberal for the first time in their life, or maybe even Greens the first time in their life, if they think it is a way of their kids being able to afford to home. How you
work this out, I don't know. We know the federal government's position is, oh, will help buy the house for you, and then you have to pay us back. Of course, do you have to double check with them if you have to do renovations or put in an air conditioner.
Who knows, great idea move on. As for the opposition, their position is that the kids should be able to use part of their super Why because yes, it'd be a chunk of change at the start, but they'll be able to rebuild it as the value of their home would go up, and ultimately, when you play financial coplunk, all of the money ends up working out. I think housing is a big issue. This poll again shows us that forty two percent of people say that it is
a very significant issue to them, deeper into the top five. Now, again, all of this doesn't have to add up to one hundred because it's each issue. How do you rank it out of one hundred. The fact that nothing is over fifty percent other than cost of living tells you that's the election. So the prime ministic can run around with the billion here and a billion there and pretending that he's going to sure up the sea wall of an
electorate that he desperately needs to hold on to. But if the people who are visiting that sea wall don't have enough money to buy ice cream to walk along it, guess what's going to happen? Health and social care, managing the economy. That's your top four. And guess what is now above climate change, crime and social order. Now, of those issues, you'd have to say that the change of government, well,
the vibe would be then with them. When it comes to cost of living and managing the economy and crime and social order, you'd have to say that towards the left would be things like housing and obviously health and social care, which is generic issues. But once you start to get down to the single figures again, knocked out of the top five. The climate change election, the climate
change war. Guess what the issues are all lining up along with where people are telling posters they are planning to put their vote, which means one of the smartest brains in that Camber Press gallery. And yes, while I pet with a very very broad brush, I do save just a few little dots here and there for the common sense people, including the great Phil Cury writing in the Australian Financial Review. You must read his stuff because he says here when interpreting the Pole and all of
the information that I have just given you. Fundamentally, however, the Pole remains dire for labor. When looked at as a whole, it lags the Coalition and Dutton on every meaningful indicator, including economic management and the issue on the issue of the management, sorry, of the issues that matter most of voters. Moreover, in the last month, during which Dutton has pledge universal nine laws, community funding for security, cameras and lighting, and law and order has now jumped
up three points. It's up into fifth. What has it replaced? Climate changed down by six and out of the top five. This is the most interesting because he's got data that I assume they're published in the next couple of days, but it tells us who Australian voters are backing on the key issues of the five issues, cost of living, housing, health, economic management, and law and order. The Coalition has a strong double digit lead in four of those areas. Labor
has a seven point lead in health. Everything else, including housing, including the idea of superannuation for your kids to be able to afford a home or grandkids. It's all flowing Dutton's way. Hence why there will be more attacks. There will be more games, there will be more anonymous sources, there will be more former ghostly prime ministers who will come out to try to tell us all that is terrible. Don't forget the Prime minister. The day after the Voice
was defeated, he fired up the dirt unit. And there are plenty of people in and around Australian politics who are happy with the arrangements they currently have with the current administration. They've got plenty of access and they like the way things are. They most likely wouldn't have the same access under a new prime minister, so they'll do everything they can to a very least benefit of the doubt, but most likely spin the ball in the Prime Minister's favor.
My summer has been nothing but country music. Gonna see Luke Combs in Brisbane this weekend, Chris Stapleton, Well, I can't wait. He is my new music god. Like wow, incredible, mind blown about how amazing he is. And then for my kids, which means me too. We've seen Wicked a lot. In fact, I've seen Wicked three times. We've already got it on the DOV thing so we can watch it at home. We've paid that sort of stupid price to get My kids love this movie right, They dance, they sing.
It is such a joy to see your kids, all little ones running around after this movie. And yeah it's got too much workness, but who cares. They love it, which means I love it. Shout out to the girls if they're watching right now, and their way to somewhere
special for the next little while. But we've laughed at places like the UK who decide to put ratings that make no sense on movies like normally you sort of have your PG or your G or your M or your m are and it's normally violence, nudity, and that's pretty much it. Or swearing no, no no. In the UK, this is the warning that UK senses put on wicked discrimination. A green skinned woman is mocked, bullied, and humiliated because
of her skin color. A disabled woman in a wheelchair is treated in a condescending manner by able bodied people. Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical thought. It's wicked. We've also joked as the Sooks have started to get involved with film classics like Gone with the Wind, which now come with trigger warnings and people saying that it's
undeniably racist. Gone with the Wind, of course, now has a trigger warning in the United States because of hurtful or harmful aspects of the nineteenth century, including slavery, as if anyone watching the film now doesn't know that's bad. And then there are the people who want to go in sense of the books to say not as the author wrote, but as the author should write. Now the James Bond novels turned into those incredible films fingers cross, we get a new James Bond announced this year in
a film in a couple of years time. I don't care where they go as long as it's not woke. Remember the James Bond novels were edited to remove racist content. Again, just because it exists in the book does not mean that you reading it in twenty twenty five go, you know what, Right on, let's go back to those days. They are the way they are, and we're all grown up enough to understand what the flaws of some of these things are.
Now.
We've laughed when it's the UK, we've rolled our eyes when it's the United States. But there's a plan to do it here. And I'm not talking about some sort of per clutcher. I'm talking about the official body that does the classification the censorship in Australia, that declares what
is G or M, or R or PG. They want the ability to get into a time machine and to review and change the classifications of everything that's ever been released or is available now in Australia, from the very first book that came here to the one that's coming out tomorrow, the Od's Great one on this today. The federal government agency wants to reclassify publications every ten years and it's tied a review of Australian classification. It's taught
a review. Why am I reading so poorly tonight? I apologize? They are citing the British census reclassification, so the Brits who have a trigger warning about wicked and the green Lady isn't treated as well as the pig dress lady. My goodness, these are the people who went after Mary popp'ams. The Australian Censor says that it needs the power to proactively reclassify anarchic books and out of step movies, books and TV shows that no longer align with current guidelines
or community standards. Seriously, a bunch of people want to go back and have a look at the films of the past and try to put the twenty twenty four lefty label on the things that may well have been classics or won awards, or launched careers or been part of the fabric of our culture. You know how this
is going to go. But please let me read directly from the bureaucrats who are trying to win over the federal government to have the opportunity to review everything every ten years, which would mean when they got the power to do it tomorrow, it'd be everything that has ever been, and then they would review those decisions every ten years.
Provision must be made for a simple mechanism to allow for the reclassification of content. With ever evolving community standards and a dynamic media environment affecting not only how people consume content but also its impact on them, there is a need for a flexible and rational approach to reviewing. They are archaic and out of step classifications and consumer advice for pre obviously classified media.
Really really, oh, you know, we've got to go back, go back to the odd angry shot opening a couple of lines, not fantastic, got to go back to those war films where they said the Rondom's terrible, terrible, terrible things. We've got to put a classification on Wicked because the girl in the wheel chair is spoken to in a
condescending manner. But anyone who actually understands the story understands that that's part of an evolution where the people who speak to her in a condescending manner need to learn not to speak to her in a condescending manner. The movie has a message inside it that would solve the label that they would put on the wrapping. But no, this government said you couldn't be trusted to know what
the truth was on the incident. And now a bunch of people who you do not know, do not see, and are definitely not elected, they want the capacity to turn around and tell you what you can watch read because of its impacts on people. A little bit of pushback. Now, this is a story that's around today, but this could all be backdoored a couple of days before an election where nobody's really looking when we're paying onto everything else, when we're paying attention to the overall view, and they're
moving the grains of sand on the beach. Today on sunrise, representatives of both the government and the opposition said, not a great idea.
I myself are not in that camp of rewriting things that have been pivotal to my childhood and to yours. I think these are fantastic works of art, and I love reading some of these books to my kids, and I'll continue to do so.
I'm going to show my bipartisan view. I think Michelle Rowlands a pretty good minister, and I don't think that that you's going to put up with this garbage. But watch wait and will anyone ask anyone in the next little while, the Communications Minister, the culture sector of the
arts minister. We'll all find out together. Now, of course, we are just hours away from the end of the Biden administration, one that was marked by so much success, from falling up the stairs and showing us that gravity doesn't matter anymore, through to falling up the stairs and showing us that gravity doesn't matter much. And there is a scathing pole which has come out today which shows that Americans can't mention anything that is good about the
Biden administration. Hardcore Democrats might be able to, but most Americans can't name one success or thing that will remember for him doing are you sitting down? Because they can remember one thing other than falling up the stairs. The US government made an important decision that the Western world should have followed but has largely ignored, and it came to the plight of the Wiger people being used for
slave labor in China. Early in his administration, Joe Biden passed an executive order which was the banning of importation of goods made by slave labor in these camps. Now, slave labor generally when it comes to China. Well, we can talk about many issues that are there, but certainly and specifically the wigas an ethic and religious minority, who has persecuted, who's put into re education camps, who are forced to work in horrific conditions making things like solar
panels and wind turbines. This ain't the far right wing talking about it. This is the old turnbull times. The Guardian has been consistent on this issue, and good on them for doing so. Again, I'm sorry a broken clock twice a day or in their case half of once a week. Well, the Prime Minister and the outgoing president of the United States, they've agreed on this. They've agreed on that we should do what Biden's doing on climate
change because Biden's doing it on climate change. We should do this on Ukraine because Biden sells us to blockstep right general way, if the Americans do it, we should do it. And particularly when they are of the same political persuasion, that being the center left or left, that we should be doing the same thing. Well, as I say, there was a clear decision from the United States send
a message to China. The stuff built by slaves in slave labor camps who are there because of the god they believe in must not be tolerated by the Western world. But of course nothing happened in Australia. In fact, as best as I can work out, no one's asked the Prime Minister about whether he agrees with this particular position. In fact, tumbleweeds would be the best way of describing nothing happening on this issue. There are a million people
who are in these camps. The conditions are horrific and horrible. And again, I hope you're sitting down. Don't worry. I'll get to Trump and WYMCA in the second But I hope you're sitting down because the Guardian followed up today and this should have been a much bigger story. This might be the first time that you're hearing about it. But how's this, despite the fact that Australia it's all good about human rights when it comes to other parts of the world, we give four feet to bugger all
about what's happening here because we couldn't dare upset. The Chinese could be Prime Minister, then they wouldn't call you a handsome boy. Then they might send some messages through which that people should vote for somebody else Australia is allowing thousands of imports of Chinese companies blacklisted by the United States over the alleged links to the forced Wiga labor camps, including not just Wind and Solar, but people who were involved in supplying parts for the Sydney Metro vehicles.
These documents obtained by The Guardian under freedom of information laws. The Guardian obtained details of three thousand, three hundred and forty seven import declarations that name eight US blacklisted companies as supplies of materials to Australian importers since twenty twenty. The companies ship a ranger products Wind obviously not written up by The Guardian there, but still also worth noting car batteries, trains, safety gear for tradespeople, spices, food additives
and even things like laser printers. Now we have a federal election. We should have a federal election that is not just about you know this, and a little bit more about this, a little bit more about this, a little bit more about what our ow national values. I want to hear from the opposition saying that they would pass this ban. I would like some pressure placed upon
people like Penny Wong. Does she agree with the United States position, which as best as I understand, will have no change under Trump, that slave labor is not an acceptable source of things to import into our country, forced save labor. That has Penny Wong come out about any of this on her high horse, Well, of course, not because there are tumble weeds rolling through every single corridor of power. Because we can't dare upset the Chinese. Well,
bugger it. Just to put a finer point on this, just in case you think that I'm a little bit too hard to get yet around. This is what has happened to people who are inside those camps. Believe me, I could show you more that would turn your stomach. They were three men, which not as one, but three. They did whatever e will their mind could think of, and they didn't spare any part of my body. It's disgraceful. Where are the voices in Australian politics saying that they
will not accept these products? Because I don't think that you accept these products, and I don't think if you knew that we were paying in part at times with taxpayers money for the projects. But is it because wind and solar are part of what is made there, and because we need twenty two thousand solar panels a day. It's going to be hard. Look the other way, who's making them please? A couple of other things before I get to the YMCA and trumpetfort all today. She's exciting.
Isn't it just one more slop to go middle of the night? Who's pulling an all nighter? He'll be on TV after that all night and it will be fun. May There is a stupid idea which is coming out of Victoria where they think they're going to be able to guarantee that fuel prices are going to be able to stay lower than petro stations want to charge. They're going to say that they have to set their prices in twenty four hour increments. They can't just change things
in the middle of the day. Here's what the premier says about it.
We're going to cap and lock those fuel prices. Those fuel price fluctuations really are frustrating for motorists. But we know that by having the lowest price, finding the lowest price and holding it, we do know that that can save hundreds of dollars a year for Victorian motors.
Does anyone actually believe that if you are forced to lock in your price they're going to lock it in at the low level, or they'll lock it in at the high level. Of course, she doesn't care. She just wanted something to announce today. Speaking of Grimjim Charmers his rivers of gold which have come to the federal budget, which is meant, yes, there has been surpluss the past couple of years, largely comes from that evil mining industry, specifically iron ore. We learned today iron ore may well
go down by thirty percent. If that does, billions and billions and billions of dollars disappear from the federal budget, meaning all of those extra promises will have to be paid for by borrowed money, even more borrowed money. And if one of your dreams is to travel from one side of the country to another by train, you would know the Indian Pacific. It is one of those incredible journeys. It's one that I'd love to do before I go. In fact, let's do a week of shows from there,
just a night here into the future. If anyone wants to sponsor, feel free, Paul, it's gonews dot com that are you. And this is that the India Pacific's actually getting longer. In fact, the itinery for the epic four three hundred and fifty two kilometer Indian Pacific Rail Odyssey, which goes from Perth the Sydney, has been extended by another five days and four nights, from sixty five hours in total from one side to the other to now ninety hours. It means you'll be able to have more
off train experiences. They haven't built more track, They're just going to stop in different places. In Ghouli in Western Australia, Cook which is a remote part of South Australia, which is just on the edge of the null board, the Barossa Valley, and South Australia. Broken Hill, Oh how much we love Broken Hill and the Blue Mountains in New
South Wales. So if you get the chance the Indian Pacific, I think from now longer journey than ever before, enjoy yourself and again one day imagine doing a week of shows from a train. Oh sorry, boss, it doesn't work tonight, see you tomorrow. No, we'll be there. We'll find a way to do the tech. We're very good at that. And as I say, tonight, Christmas Eve for Trump fans, people who have hoped that he'd be able to defeat Kamala Harris and have celebrated the fact that he did.
We all know the reset that is coming and will be here by this time tomorrow night four a m. Australian est, and daylight time is midday in the United States. That's when he will take the oath of office. He of course, gave speeches today in Washington, DC, a victory rally where it was the greatest hits not just of everything you said on the campaign trial, but many of the people who joined him on it. He said, this.
Radical and foolish executive order of the Biden administration will be repealed.
Within hours of when I take the oath of office. Then he said this, we.
Are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F.
Kennedy, his brother.
Robert Kennedy, as well as doctor Martin Luther King Junior.
That's going to be fun to read. We might do an entire hour on each of those. That is fascinating to say everything the American government knows about those topics. File open file released, fascinating. But of course the highlight was this, Come on, everybody, it's funnestay it.
See fund state, you see.
Till con get to sell me. Ah good is it? How good is it? I hope that's on his phone. Imagine there he's sitting having a chat with the President of China and well names just one second, one second, President of Jana, I've got an important call. One of the interesting speakers that was at that rally today is
our very own Megan Kelly. She's on the show later this week about her experience there in lead up to DC, but she also had a warning, and it is a really important warning for those of us who want Trump to succeed. All the people who hate him still hate him. All the people who work inside the government who will try to stop him will still do so. He has a greater mandate, he has a biggest sledgehammer, He has more support than ever before. But her words important the
night before Christmas. Stay strong. We haven't won the war. We're winning. We wont a bunch of battles.
But he's going to need all of you every step of the way.
We're going to have to be patient, We're gonna have to steal our spines.
Do not bend, never bow.
What I say is what.
What do you teach us? Fight? Fight, fight, win, win win and how are those lefties taking it? The day before Christmas in DC.
Four Politics, seven.
Souks, four am straight in eastern daylight time. That is when the swearing will take place, full coverage both before throughout the night via our colleagues in the United Kingdom and at three am. The Australian version of it kicks in Chris Kenny, who showed the day out of DC perfect perfect, great guests, great angles. He was spectacular today. He anlys Neilson, Tom Connell and of course Pete all
there before, during and after. And I'll joined both Pete and Laura again when you wake up tomorrow morning, quick break back with more plenty to fire up about here, No sooks, no lefties, and our made diary before we're done.
Thanks for watching, Paul Murray life, No sicks, no lefties, just our mates Tonight the Great James Morrow, who's doing double duty with us now they don't fit in watching the inauguration that he's on Telly Tomorrow, Merry Christmas Eve, very Christmasy outside of us report and all things good at the Daily Telegraph. Matt Canavan joining us as well. Matt, are you doing the all nighter? Will you be there watching everything from the moments before to the hours after.
Yeah, I don't know if it's like Christmas Eve, but there's not not a sound in the house and everybody's in anticipation. I'm not sure about that. But yeah, no, I did break out the Trump Place mats tonight for dinner with the family. Celebrate.
Oh tremendous. Okay, just just let's just let's just pause. The internet can can cut that up and can lose their brain, and we don't care because this is a nice little time, all right, James hit the ground running. I think Meghan Kelly's warning is really important, which is, look, there is there very quick, very soon. Right, But what are you looking forward to most about the early hours of two point zero.
Well, I mean, the great thing is going to be to see this list of executive orders that's going to come out. I suspect I'm not going to agree with every single thing that he is going to want to do there. I definitely disagree with him on the TikTok stuff. I think that's a really big point of difference there. But you know, let's focus on, you know, all the wins in here. I want to see the complete shake up reforms, detonating government agencies. I want to see DEI
departments blown up. I want to see all of that stuff done. I want to see the immigreats historically. I want to say all of those sorts of things done. Stamp makes mark the big thing I want to see short term. I want to see that he has learned his lessons from twenty sixteen about the different ways the swamp can absolutely destroy his agenda ed. I think they have learned that. Lesson the long term thing, Paul I want to see, I want to see a restoration of
that broad, prosperous American middle class. And that is what he promises. That's what he has to do. Everything has to ultimately focus on that. The big danger very quickly though, is that they're going to live trust him. They have gone RD markets set up to make it impossible to spend money.
It's all get hit tomorrow tomorrow.
So just watch the financial markets. That's that is going to be the first playbook right out.
Very good point. Now, Also for you, Matt, what do you want to see? What are you most looking forward to? Not the ceremony all the rest of it. But then let's get on with this here what do you want to see happen?
Let's I just want to see the end of this paris ridiculous climate agreement. That's a big handbreak on the industrialized world. I mean James mentioned TikTok. You know that's our information flowing through to China. But the whole climate scheme that we've lived under this last decade has just sent our jobs to China, sent our industry, sent our manufacturing, and Donald Trump's already turned that around. All the major
banks now getting out of this rubbish. The problem for us, The risk for us though, is that we we stay beholden to this bankrupt out of data gender on net zero, like holding on too like a shag on a rock as the waves crash over us. So that's my concern here is America is going to get a leaps about ahead abound on us. It's not just China, it's going to be competing with us. America will be ahead of
us and we'll get left behind. So we've got to get with the program and ourselves get out of this agreement so we can remove costs from Australian business, get back to having cheap energy prices and rebuild our manufacturing sector.
Yeah, well, really important, right is that you know, I know the green shoots, I know the feelings, all the rest of it. Right, work is still deeply entrenched in Australia, all right. America is way further down the track than we are. I think we're closer to England and Canada, where this stuff is baked in and baked in and baked in. One of the things I most look forward
to about the Trump presidency. Why I support the Trump candidacy, why I support some Trump is in general is everything else gets to be disrupted, but the established order of things is never allowed to be disrupted. It is to be disrupted. It needs to be disrupted because anyone who's been a place like America, sees the food lines, or sees the overuse of censorship, knows that there is deep things that need to be broken up and rebuilt. I
look forward to all of that. So, Matt, what the hell is green aluminium and why does it get two billion dollars as the Prime Minister spends a billion here and a billion there every day? Yeah.
Look, a lot of your viewers might not know too much about the eluminium sector. Just one hundred odds so kilometers south of me is one of our large aluminium smelters that basically powers a town of Gladson. Without the eleminium smelter there the industrial center of glass and probably
wouldn't be there. All of our aluminium smelters, largely owned by Rio Tinto, in the last few years, have gone woke, have gone green, how we've been saying, and they've been telling us all that they can keep going in the future without using dirty coal, which is what has fuelled them to date. They're going to install massive amounts of solar panels and winds destroy our environment, but they say power their aluminium smelters as green aluminium going into the future.
Of course we've been told that that's cheaper. We're constantly told by our government, by the Prime Minister, by Crispo.
And that renewable energy is cheaper.
Well, if it is cheaper, why does green aluminium need a two billion dollar subsidy that the prime ministers are now today If it actually is cheaper, how is it the case that we could run and build and produce aluminium as a wealth generating product when we had just coal fired power. But now we've all got to pay your taxes have to go to this two billion dollar fun to bail out some of the biggest companies in the world like Rio Tinto. Why are we subsidizing their
green addiction on woke esg rubbish. It's costing us all. If it doesn't cost us how manufacturing industries, it costs us through higher taxes. That's why I look forward to all of this ending. It has to end to save us money.
Yeah, and this stuff's not in the budget, right, This is why they were able to say, oh, we're close to this. The reality is all of it off budget. They're still paid for you and I still pay for it. But it's also of investment money. Jan well An.
You know the thing is, you know, look all these big companies, not just the industrial companies, also the big data companies and all that in the United States. You know, they're going all in. They're going all in on nuclear, they're going all in on all these other technologies, and they are not looking to the government for a handout. And I think here, you know, these companies they're already.
Going down the green road.
And the really interesting thing here, Paul, is that we've got the situation where labor has created a situation where everybody is now on the public teach. So at the top end you've got the companies with the green subsidies and the future Made in Australia. You know, down the track you've got everybody who's doing work for the ndis on triple the money that they'd be getting in the regular country. Gonna be halfway. And Bill Schwarden said that
was like a good thing. I mean, I don't know how that works, but you know the thing is, this is a big challenge for Peter Dutton now, like everybody now has a stake in this gravy train reform is hard. That means a losers and b having to work hard to be creative, to be productive, and it's like we're losing an abil to do that here.
Well, this is the thing what I am liking about Dutton's speeches. And I thought the one in Brisbane was a mile in front of the one that was in Melbourne, and Melbourne was pretty good, right, which is starting to talk about broad values right now, as I've said, the experiment of Daniel Andrews and Palische and all of that, right, which is, if you either work for the government or you're dependent on the government, or the biggest company or
your biggest customer is the government. You end up talking about seventy five percent of the people in and therefore any mention of pullback, well, then people started to set their hair on fire. What have you thought of these speeches that Dune's been made.
Look, I've been watching them very closely. I think that he is on a winner here. I think the broad theme here is that he is falling in line with other center right leaders in the West and in the English speaking world, and that is you know, the thing is strategically here, for he can come up with policies, but they will be beta scared to death right, So anything he wants to do, they're going to blow him
up on the policy. But Labor can't fight on a positive, productive, prosperous vision of Australia because they want a dependent, negative view of Australia and Australian possibilities. You know, That's why the best Albanezer can do is see, oh, well, we're a caring society, but that's not a productive or of prosperous society. And those are the things you need to ultimately really be truly caring.
Well done in the speech in Brisbane specific quote here, I want to say, these are the three questions. Are you better off than you were two and a half years ago? Do you feel safer than you were two and a half years ago? Is the country more cohesive than it was two and a half years ago? Well? No, no, no, right, we all know what the answers are and all of that. Matt about where I was on these important Chinese products
made by the forced labor in these Wiga camps. Why can't Australia take the same position that even Joe Biden could come to, which is no, this that's not a laddie. Well we can.
In fact, Satata Ralph Babett asked a very good question of Penny Wong about this almost two just over two years ago actually September twenty twenty two. He asked her, well, look, Joe Biden's band, these soul companies for using slave labor,
why can't we do the same. Pennywong actually said it was a very good question, and she said, look, this was the newly elected and she said we're going to, unlike the former go but we're going to look at the modern Slavery Act to do this and make sure no one's using forced labor and the supply chains well. Of course, as the Guardian has show and congratulate the Guardian, you won't hear me, so that too often congrated the Guardian. It's an excellent piece of work. But they've done nothing
on this despite Pennywong statements. And here you've got a situation where I think the Labor Party can't do this because it is addicted to the cheap forced labor produced, slave labor produced solar panels out of the Xinjiang Province of China.
Its whole energy plan.
It rests on the fact of getting these cheapest in the world solar panels made by slave labor. How can that be ethical at all? It doesn't even deliver us cheap priceses we know for other reasons. But even if it did, we can't do that. Why are we doing that as a civilized.
Const while simultaneously China the producers many many more or thirty more times pollution than we do. They don't even have to say that, would hear the same things we've signed up to till twenty thirty. So that gets back to the Paris conversation. Thank you lads, do appreciate it. Have a wonderful night and we look forward to your coverage tomorrow. James here on air, and no doubt Matt will be tweeting away in the middle of the night.
Keep an eye out for Matt Canavan on x Quick Break Back with more Dayly, what's really going on in Western Sydney and how can she beat labor again? Mike, who watches the show each and every night in Western Australia. He sends me an email last night. He says, I'm a compulsive viewer of the show, but I couldn't help but notice you've not had the big Gausie flag in
the background, mate, Please reinstate it into view. Well, it's always been on the set all year, but I have moved a little bit around, which means the cameras move around a little bit. But you may will have noticed tonight right back next to the screen. So every time we try to show you the things, you'll see the flag. Where As Ossie is ever before speaking of the wonderful dial League, she's worn an Australian flag and that's the lady who's going to be right there front and center
in Australia Day celebrations as well. In and around her elector at Foula. She joins us now from her office in Canley Heights and Western Sydney. Die, I love you to see you, mate. You're ready for election number two.
Oh look, I think I got ready the day after I got elected. So I've been working talking about the flagpole. I've got a little doll behind me. I don't mean you can see with.
Yes, yes, it's you. Yeah, I love it. Yes, yes, yes, that's sick. That's get somebody who's sent another one, and I'll put it right up behind me as well. So okay, let's talk about your fight for foul Yes, obviously you were the KK killer. That was awesome, right. I believe that you of the community, no doubt, in my view, the best option for Fouler for many many terms to come. But Labor have tried to do everything from who they're pre selected to how the map of the seat's going
to work. Is the hill a little steeper, is it a little softer? What's the hill like for you this time? Look?
The hill is the hill?
You know?
The new boundaries have brought in a suburb of weather Or Park, which is a very strong, good suburb actually for me, and it's in the parks and what we call the parks world if you look at the fair For City Council map, and you know, I do really well there as well. So I went door knocking there and so many people were so excited that they're no longer were part of McMahon and of the Minnesota Energy Chris Bowen. They were so glad that I became their MP.
So yeah, looks it's still though, you know, people are still struggling with the cost of living with when I went door knocking talking about the rising cost of energy bills, the rising cost of rent and for mortgages for people who have had thirteen seen the thirteen you know rises and interest rates. So yeah, people are still struggling a lot. So Paul, Yeah, I mean that's just my community out here.
And yeah, so I mean die obviously. You know we've shown you on the program talking about fuel prices, talking about insurance actually you know, taking the ball right up to them each and every day in Parliament. So you've been an absolute advocate for the community on those issues. Do they say much back to you about what they think of the government and its efforts? You know, my conclusion is too little too late on tax cards. My conclusion is, you know, a billion here, a billion there,
but none of it really changes anyone's life. What does Western Sydney tell you that? Presumably they're telling Chris Bowen, but Chris Bowen ain't going to be telling anyone publicly what the door knocking is happening in that part of Australia.
Yeah.
Look, I've been door knocking since April last year, Paul, and I think it hasn't a change in terms of the sentiment of the residents in the electoral Fowler which covers obviously Faith for City Council and part of Liverpool cityl And you know, even today there was a comment on my Facebook page of a resident who said, you know, I've been in such a long time labor voter, but the work that you and of course our mayor Frank Carboni have done, they have never seen before that we
are constantly out there being very strong advocate for our community. In my door knocking, people have said how much they
are suffering in terms of mental distress. A lot of them are telling me they have to look for two jobs because energy price has gone up, insurance price and I have spoken on your program before about you know, I think long before anybody talked about the rising cost of insurance as well, and of course constantly talking to you about petrol prices and that is still an issue, and I think that's where the government really were stubborn in not, you know, bringing forth the few excise tas
to give that short term you reprieve for people. Majority of Australians and a lot of us are still driving cars out here. And I know I was just speaking to your camera and you like to come from Western Sydney to go into the city, to go anywhere, we have to go through many tolls. We have to pay a lot in petrol and in terms of that and then of course it costs them in cast insurance have gone up as well, the premium. So honestly, our community
out here are really feeling the brunt of it. And in my door knocking, I don't believe door knocked so many suburbs. There has not been one person who's set to me, what this government is doing is good for them. And a lot of them actually are labor voters who said, you know what, I cannot believe a voted later labor last time, which meant at the last federal election.
They did not vote for me.
That's it.
No more, no more. People are saying, you.
Know, yeah they're coming together.
You know they're not better off.
Yeah. Sorry, we've got a little satellite delay. Be lave it or not. It happens from the man Cave to where you are right now. Well, all the best of Heath, who is the cameraman bringing us to you this evening, and all the best to you. Die will talk many times between now and the election. Find her on Facebook, follow her on Instagram and if you're in that part of the world, help keep Fowler independent. Thank you, Die, Happy Australia Day. That's our show for tonight. See you
again tomorrow. We're our special guests will be Analyse from the States.
