From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live.
Thank you, Jerry, Welcome to the man Cave. On a night where it's no silks, no left He's the carry out. A cham Bromwin Bishop is here Kristin Abram from Melbourne as well, with a libertarian perspective. But we know how much you love the former Speaker of the House. The worst poll yet of twenty twenty five for Anthony Arbernezi. And it doesn't matter how much money or how many self is.
He's in the world of trouble.
Peter Dutton way up as preferred Prime Minister in that one and the video that is sending the Internet a blaze.
The whole thing no clips, no edits full celebration.
And speaking of the final things to say about an incredible past couple of days in the United States is you may all have noticed quite a few people in the flatter about the Amazon boss, his fiance, Jeff Bezos's fiance, and what she decided to wear to the inauguration. Some say incredibly modern, some say a little too low cut.
What does Meghan Kelly say?
This is not my first time saying she dresses like a hooker, because she does have some dignity and some respect for your setting. In your circumstances, no one should be talking about your tits.
I love that lady.
As for Mark Zuckerberg, his opinion currently under review.
Meghan's on the show tomorrow night. I can't wait to have her. That's why we love her, love her very much.
Now still in Washington before we move back to Australia. And believe me, this poll in and around Elbow, it's not one that he's going to be excited about, nor many of his supporters. Those of us who want to see the back of him, You'll be happy in a couple of seconds time. The Foreign Minister, Penny Wong was the representative of Australia along with Karen, the current ambassador,
but the focus wasn't on him. Instead it was on her and some of the people that have gone a little bit overboard that any critic of the way that the government that has previously bagged him personally is now right back in the front seat. Have a look at this for some sickening stuff. Sydney Morning Herald Pennywong's golden ticket will he wonke style? She's got a golden tier kit. She's got a golden tierket.
Wow.
Now, of course they even had the photo showing that there she was a couple of rows from the Frondais circle that even sec there's nothing wrong, and no one's ever said that there was going to be something massively wrong. It just was pretty obviously the team that has said bad things about him publicly is not going to be as tight as the people who've said nice things about him publicly.
But have a listen to how they spin the ball.
Pennywong and Donald Trump, the cerebral, cautious champion of labors left and the brash real estate tycoon turned Republican hero otherwise known as President. But anyway, at Hardley it hardly sounds like a match made in political heaven. Yet there was Australian's foreign minister in prime position at Trump's inauguration in the Capitol rotunda, seated next to his elder sister. It goes on Wong was one of only a handful of foreign dignitaries in the actual room, receiving the volunteer
cat to the event. Despite the crowd size being dramatically cut back when the inauguration was moved indoors because of the freezing temperatures. Countries with far bigger populations and economies.
Like Australia, such as.
France or Germany, they didn't make the cut. The vast majority of countries would have been desperate to trade places with Australia as they navigate the choppy waters caused by Trump's remarkable return to the pinnacle of global politics. Okay, and at all Penny Wong, she was able to work out exactly where to sit and all the rest of it.
And then there was a meeting today between the brand new Secretary of State and Australia's Foreign minister, and the media again saw this as an absolute q and a coup of the kind they.
Like as well.
Penny Wong one of the first foreign ministers to meet new Secretary of State Marco Rubio, not.
Even twenty four hours into the new presidency, and the White House had an Australian guest Foreign Minister.
Penny Wong US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is side by side with Australia's Foreign minister.
Okay, great, but calmed down.
The reason Australia had the prominent position, and it was Australia, not the person who was sitting in the seat on the behalf of Australia was all to do of course, with the COAD. This is the relationship between Australia and India, Japan, South Korea to have an understanding and to be able to share intel and information, principally about pushing back on China. Now, the reason that whoever was representing the Quad got the great seats on the behalf of the Quad.
Well, it has to do with.
This that we are part of that relationship again with those other countries.
And all of.
Those ministers met today with Marco Rubio, India, Japan, Australia, the United States. I apologize, South Korea not part of it. Those are the four countries. They all met with the
brand new Secretary of State. And I'll tell you the reason why the Quad gets the billing that it does in terms of foreign policy and Donald Trump specifically, and I'm sorry I issue a trigger warning you are about to see a ghost, a ghost of Prime Minister's past, because you see, the Quad was revived by Donald Trump in twenty seventeen and in the same way as you've used the Abraham Accords as the key to Middle East peace,
ones he put in place. He views the quad and Australia, Japan, the United States and India working together in that quad. He sees that as the way of trying to battle China.
So yeah, okay, great, here's the deal.
No one thinks that Australia was going to get such a cold shoulder that he just would withdraw the troops from Darwin, get rid of the submarines from Perth and Pine Gap. Well, that could be turned into some sort of glamping establishment. The point was, and the point that anyone who has been critical of the things that have been said in the past, is that the people have had to do a pretty obvious about turn. But each way, Albo is the way that, of course our Prime minister
chooses to be no doubt. Eventually, once ambassadors talk to ambassadors, and ministers talk to ministers, eventually leaders talk to leaders. At some point there will be some sort of a warmer embrace. And whether that's under Anthony Arbernezi, Peter Dutton or whenever and whoever is the Prime minister when in
the next four years there is an opportunity to meet. Now, first it'll be face to face in all those group meetings like the g seven, or the G twenty, or the Quad meetings, or the asiat and meetings, or all the other reasons why Airbus Albo has to leave the
country every five minutes. Australia will be warmly welcomed. But the point is that if they didn't say the things they had said in the past, then there would be no water that needed to go under the bridge for a better relationship, a real and enthusiastic relationship.
Let me compare the.
Pair, as those Union superads like to say, former Prime Minister Scott Morrison was with Donald Trump, in fact invited to his house on New Year's Eve. He does not have an official position anywhere representing Australia anymore, but of course he was one of only very small bunch of countries who were recognized with the State Dinner. Le Australia gets this honor again in the next four years. But you see, when you're invited over to somebody's house, it's a little bit different than when.
You are.
Chasing them around a golf course and yelling at their golf cart and.
Not riding with them.
You see, Kevin Rudd has been desperate to say that despite the fact that the former Prime Minister is invited over for New Year's Eve. He's the one who's got all the connections in the world, and even the ABC writing the most sympathetic version couldn't really cover up for the difference between the two former Prime ministers. The ABC has learned that mister Rudd briefly met with Trump at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida,
near his house in Mary Lago. You mean the one that Scomo was invited over to on Year's Eve. Rudd reportedly conveyed the good wishes of the Prime Minister and told Trump and the Foreign Minister.
That he we're looking forward to the inauguration. In fact, I think we have a video of just how long that meeting took place. I planned to go to law school.
After I graduated, but it looks like my folks won't have enough money.
It's put me through college.
Well, the world is Stitchtiggers too.
Nice, Tray, you have no idea how excited I am after just pointing that out about Kevin Rudd. I was able to play perhaps my top three favorite films of all time. We found a way to get it in there. But anyone who knows the film. You get the point. One is invited over for New Year's Eve, the other is trying to pretend, oh, it's closer than ever, despite the fact that he's again running after him in the car park. So let's get too A poll has just dropped.
It is just dropped via the nine network on television and its assets in the newspapers, and it is the worst start to the election year than Anthony Alberize could possibly have. Because let's have a look at some of these numbers here. If we can bring him up on the screen, where the preferred Prime Minister, which was dead level at thirty five, is now thirty nine, thirty four, Albow goes backwards, Dutton surges forward, and once you start to cut this up state by state, it gets really
bad for the prime minister. The most number of people in the country, well they live in of course New South Wales and Victoria. But what is the findings here, Well, again as the preferred prime minister, the numbers here in New South Wales pretty significant. Now, that was the Freshwater pole from a couple of days ago. If we can focus in on the pole that is there today, you'll see that in New South Wales in particular, there is
a huge leap forward for Peter Dutton. The same in Victoria, where things are ever so slightly better for the there we go for the prime minister. But still Dutton is the preferred prime minister in New South Wales, in Victoria, in Queensland, if we can there we go. Have a look at that ten point lead. The East Coast preferred prime minister where the majority of the population is, the majority of the seats are, that is no longer the current prime minister for the rest of the country, So
say South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, Western Australia. Yes, Anthony Umbernezi doing better. But the way these poles work is that they would ask fewer people from Tasmania or West Australia or South Australia because of the populations compared to the populations of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. So the prime minister level pegging at the end of last year thought that was as bad as was going to get.
He has now lost his position as preferred prime minister in a poll which was released in newspapers that at the start of his prime ministership were already talking about a second term based off his polling. Let's have a look at the primary vote. This was the election result in twenty and twenty two, where as you can see, the government was at thirty three percent, the LYMPT thirty six, Greens, twelve and five apiece for the Independence and one nation.
Three years on, have a look at this, the Labour Party's lost five points. Where have they gone. They've gone to the Coalition, They've gone ever so slightly to the Greens, they have absolutely gone to the Independence. A trend that we have shown you over and over again, and remember Sunday Nights is when we get right into the reeds, when we get right into the detail in and around
election data with state of the race. That's when we get some polling people with all of their insight and data and information, and the great Michael Kroger to talk about his perspectives and tactics. What do they think of this? A five point drop? A five point drop. As for the Prime minister's personal performance, fifty five percent of the country say the Prime Minister is performing poorly or very poorly. Repeat, fifty five percent of the country thinks the bloke is
in the wrong place. He's now losing it nationally as preferred prime minister. He's losing it in New South Wales, in Victoria and in Queensland. He's going to hope that Western Australia were holding up, and that of course will mean a very long election night whenever it happens to be. And whether that is the difference between minority or majority, or who forms minority, it means strap in Western Australia you're going to matter more than ever before at a
federal election. We'll be doing plenty about this between now and then. So the Prime Minister is in a world of pain. But then you have a look at the comments that some people have been making in this pole and they're going to be bone chilling too. These are the people who told the polster why they were going to vote the way that they did, or why they had the view that they did. Labor is going down a path I disagree with Abbou is showing few leadership qualities.
The PMS given six hundred million dollars to a footy team in Papua New Guinea.
We could to build homes with that.
Cost of living has been so destructive for a lot of people and the government are doing nothing. Crime rates are horrendous, the justice system is in crisis.
And on and on and on it goes.
Now, as I've got into great detail with you, one of the things that is being laid out in the early days of twenty and I get it anyone with school kids, they're still on holidays. They'll be up the coast, down the coast, wherever it happens to be. And yes, the majority of Australia will start to reconnect with the real world over the next couple of weeks. But what we have seen since we've been back on the air, but obviously since the start of the year, is that
there have been two ways of performing. One has been Peter Dutton going around the country giving a series of speeches about his values and the Prime Minister going well door to door trying to frankly offer money for people to even think about voting for his government. And we've also seen a great difference between the two when it
comes to leadership. Leadership around an issue that is increasingly important to Australians and that is the safety on their streets because of conflicts on the other side of the world. People feeling empowered because the hate preacher seems to have more power than federal government ministers, who should have never given those people a visa, let alone wait a week
or so before booting them out. We know what's been going on in our country and we know that it was twenty twenty three when Peter Dutton said it was time for a national Cabinet meeting about what was playing out across the country, about the obvious antisemitism and the obvious threat that was existing to not just that population, but the people who may well live next door to the house, or next door to the childcare center, or next to order the synagogue, take you pick, that have
all of course been targeted. So National Cabinet it meets. Last night we had the breaking Yews and what the result of it was, which was nothing nothing in fact, just two lights of the entire thing referenced anything that was new, and what was new it was to establish a database to track anti Semitic crime. This was a
meeting that went for hours. Appropriately Peter Dutton has given it to him right between the eyes, because a meeting of those people after that long, with all that power, and they came.
Up with a scoreboard.
Ministers had fifteen months really to try and address this issue. The trouble is he's been walking both sides of the street. The Prime Minister had an opportunity to call a National cabinet very early on, he chose not to do that. Yesterday he convenes a National Cabinet meeting after saying that one wasn't necessary just twenty four hours before that, and there was nothing substantive that was delivered out of that National Cabinet meeting.
Now, just to prove how their little this announcement was. The Prime Minister popping up again today didn't talk about the single thing, the single thing that was new, and that was that national database. Instead, this was the question that he was getting from reporters.
Well, do a lot of criticism that you've been slow to act on these anti Semitic attacks. It is coming mostly from the opposition. Were you wrong to be so reluctant to hold the National Cabinet pet it up and said you should have seen that these attacks that have been ramping up this way would happen.
Have you been that's on us?
Now?
Remember first call twenty twenty three, he does it at the start of twenty twenty five and all that comes out of it is two lines, two lines and a scoreboard for a national database, so we can keep an eye and we know exactly how many things are taking place, when, of course you can see it with your own eyes each and every day, you can read it in the news.
You could get out a pen and paper if you wanted to, and you could write them all down and then you would have as much information as National Cabinet promised yesterday when it comes to action. So did the Prime Minister speak about the importance of the announcement yesterday of keeping.
Score Well, of course not. It's just a way to pretend. Peter Dutton's the problem, not at all. We're back to it from day one. And I'll tell you.
What is of some concern is people who seek political advantage from what is a traumatic circumstance. And I've worked with all of the communities. Peter Dutton, for someone who is responsible for some national security issues as Minister for Home Affairs, should know better.
In twenty twenty three, that being, Peter Dutton says, I've got a solution here, not to stop the whole thing, but to make sure that everyone around the country, all the premiers, all the Chief Ministers and the Prime Minister can all be in the same spot and then they.
Can meet again, and they can meet again.
And we all know that when it was the wurflu, they're meeting every five minutes. Of course, the Labour people wouldn't go on and do what was agreed in those because there was a federal election to be one, and we know that there's also a federal election to be one. But when the numbers are the way they are, particularly in New South Wales, the Prime Minister's attempts to have
it each way like he always does are failing. He is not going to be able to put it back in the horse or the genie back in the bottle, if you prefer to be more polite, and he is being outshone by plenty of other people in the Labor Party, including of course the News Sobail's premier. As I commented yesterday, the Prime Minister of Australia was reduced to looking like
a nodding backbencher trying to hold in a yawn. There by the way, but that's what he was reduced to, not the bloke who was in charge, but the bloke who was standing behind the guy who was in charge.
We will leave no stone unturned in combating rampant antisemitism and violence in our community.
It will never be tolerated.
If you are responsible for these criminal activities, you can expect police to.
Be visiting you soon.
This is not the end of these arrests.
Operation Pearl is just getting started.
All I was going to say was that he built upon that today and that's what you just saw. There is also something that I want to deal with here, and it is something that Chris Means is openly talking about as one of the bricks that he wants to put in the wall to deal with this problem. And it would require news of OL's Parliament to meet and pass a new law past laws trying to specifically go
after what would be defined and as hate speech. Now, pretty obviously we know that the graffiti that says if the is pretty obviously hateful as it would be if it was about gay people, people of any race or religion, disabled people. We get what that is about. But the hard thing about these laws is that how you put them together can always have unintended consequences.
Now, that's why the.
Laws were debated but were pulled back on ultimately last year, as the Premier told Charry last night that he will push on and he in fact had a regret that he didn't put the laws into place last year. He believes that the hateful language it leads to the hateful events,
and that's why he needs to introduce the laws. But the same people who had some objections to the laws, who are not, by the way, trying to find permission for people to spray if the on walls, they're just talking about those unintended consequences where they're starting to have opinions around all of this, including some concerns that the Premiere may be moving in a direction that is contrary to the advice that he is receiving, the advice that
he is receiving, not just internally or politically, not just from free speech advocates, but of course in and around legal advice as well. Now the issue here about hate laws, I've got to be very careful here because it could be very easily misinterpreted about what I'm going to say. But of course the laws will not just be for one group. Put in simple terms, they're not going to be for the group that you specifically want the most
amount of protection for. The inevitability will be that it will be all forms of religion, all forms of gender,
all forms of sexuality, forms of ability or disability. And the concern that I have about these laws, as well intended as they are, and we have to watch the process be put together and then look at the actual language, is that I don't want to have a scenario where the courts will be in a position to be able to declare that you have committed a hate crime because you are critical of the actions of a person who is a certain race, has a sexuality, a certain sexuality,
is able bodied or disabled. You see, we've seen with say human rights legislation, that there are plenty of people who want to go off and want to in the hope of trying to stamp out racism or discrimination. They end up setting a very very low bar for what is able to be claimed, and then a very very very high threshold for the potential penalties under these things.
And also, forgive me if I don't have incredible faith in the courts to be able to exercise a level of common sense here, because for obvious reasons, to make sure that the person who writes f the Jews on a car on a wall that that person goes to JAR for a significant period of time, they'll be pretty high.
Maximum penalties there, of course won't be mandatory minimums, and that's a good thing because you don't want somebody who is on this level of offending to end up in JARL for as long as the person who's on this level of offending. I might be making my point as clearly as I want to hear, but I want to make it crystal clear that we all want people to live in a safe and harmonious society.
We want every lever government.
Has to keep us safe. But we also don't want a handbreak on free speech. And I am not talking about the freedom to discriminate, the freedom to be hateful, but someone being able to use what is intended for this purpose to be weaponized to be used for this purpose. That's the issue that must be discussed. Again, I hope you understand the full breadth of what I am trying
to say here. But again, remember we have a court system which has multiple times looked the other way on things where governments and you would imagine the public want people to be actually held account like people who have closed the Sydney Harbor Bridge they did so, but because it was in the name of climate change and the trauma that they had in around the floods and fires. Well, of course out of jail. The same with Queensland and their scenario when it came to protest laws. This happens
over and over and over again. So I am all up for the greatest protections possible to keep people safe. I do not want a system that is so broad that it can be weaponized by someone else. And then the final point on all of this, which is perhaps the most dangerous thing I could possibly say right now around all of this. It is already illegal to assault someone, yet people do it. It is already illegal to destroy property,
but people do it. All the laws in the world, if well balanced, give us the best possible protection of holding someone accountable for their actions and hopefully a.
Deterrent from doing those things.
But any politician anywhere who is going to promise that they are going to guarantee a crime free result because they've introduced a new law is not telling you the truth. Thankfully, Chris Bans is acknowledging that there will always be people who break the law, and sadly that will be the case when it comes to this stuff, as it is with everything else. But watch this space. We can all have good intentions, we can all want to take care of each other, but how we do it is going
to matter. I hope you understand. I look forward to your view on this and many other things. Email Pauliczguyews dot com dot au. Now, of course, in the real world, that being the one that you and I live in, we are trying to buy things, and we're able to buy things because we have a job to do those things, and we do our best to help out small business. We are not relied upon the government to be able to give us the capacity to buy the things that
we want and take care of the businesses that are around. However, the government and the government sector that taxpayer, is now hiring more people than ever before. And yes, these are real jobs, particularly when it comes to nurses and police, but it's not all real jobs when it comes to the overarching wide view of government when it comes to
things like the public service. In fact, more than four out of five jobs in the past two years have been filled in the public service, so more people are being hired into the public service than working in the private sector.
At the moment.
Now, yes, it is state based as well about health and education, and economists are saying that in the same way, they have to pull in their spending in lots of other areas, adding more people for permanent wages that adds to spending. In fact, Shane Oliver from the AMP he talks about the effect that this may have on, say the Reserve Bank, its decisions around interest rates, meaning how much it costs for us to pay.
Off our houses.
He says that sectors such as healthcare are important, but had probably focused too much on boosting employment over dampening inflation. The government helped to avoid a recession, but it arguably made inflation worse. It'll be challenging in an election year, but the government probably needs to cut spending in some areas to make up for the spending that they have
in others. One more time to the United States. Because of all of the different videos and all of the things that we had to have a look at, there's plenty that I need to quickly tick off before we move on to no sook snow lefties. Now you know about how many illegal immigrants have made their way across the southern border under the former regime of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I say regime because I want to
piss a few people off on the internet. But yes, of course, the legitimate and legal presidency of Joe Biden and his vice president Mala Harris. Now these people were just in southern states. Instead, governors and places like Florida and Texas decided to say, bugger this, We're going to send some of you people to blue cities, which are sanctuary cities that are fined to be sanctuary cities because they actually don't have to deal with it like New York,
and you can see the overflow. And the New York Mayor Eric Adams had to deal with this problem, and when it became New York's problem, it was one he was willing to bring up with the president.
The President came here to New York City, the governor and I sat down went with the President and I said, mister President, I'm not sure what they're telling you about this problem, but this is a terrible problem that's planned out on the ground that we need to fix our border and we need to just stop allowing people to come into the country with no destinied.
The response of the President and the people who worked for the president, the people who thought the lefty Jedi mind trick, it's not.
Really a problem.
Well, somehow this would apply when you are talking to the mayor of one of the bluest cities in the country that is telling you fix the border.
Basically, a good democrat, Eric, be a good Democrat. That was the basic overall theme. You know.
One of his a's told me that listen, this is like a goldstrong it a.
Pass unbelievable, truly unbelievable.
I can't believe that of all of.
The things that we looked at and talked about about the Trump inauguration that I didn't like devote the entire hour of last night's program to one thing that happened at one of the inaugural balls.
This could be.
The most amazing and awesome thing I've seen all year.
Enjoy with the sword left his hands.
And yes, that was a new air Force, one that was in fact ordered and designed by Trump. Biden never got the flowing at Trump will. Trump gave a massive press conference today where the media started to find their way to have a crack. He decided to say buggarov
and push them back. There's been understandable controversy in around the January sixth pardons, particularly the people who had committed violence, Like any wonder of a common sense view on that, which is, people who committed that violent should have stayed in jail. Other people, well, that's a decision that's been made.
By the president.
But in the same way I admired Donald Trump for having the balls the stones to speak truth to power in front of Biden and his failures yesterday, I've got to say I admire the same about a pastor who decided to deliver a very negative message directly to Donald Trump today at a church service. Now you may disagree with this, but in a country that truly believes in free speech, you can say this to a president and nothing happens.
There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in democratic, Republican and independent families. And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants, and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.
Trump understandably didn't like it, but he also didn't take the bait and start some fight with a person in the clergy and said he thought that they could have done better with their choice. But a clearly better choice for Donald Trump and certainly for ater timement value was the pasta from Detroit.
Who was there when he was being sworn in. This bloke is a star.
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops up New Hampshire. Let freedom ring, or from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening aleghaties of Pennsylvania.
That freedom ring from.
Every state, every city, every village, and every hamlets.
In fact, Trump actually said you're a star while hugging him after it. All right, no sooks, no lefties, Let's get into it, Bromin, Bishop, straight after the break, send me em my, Paulskynews dot com dot AU, big discussion, big debate, big night ahead. I'm glad you, no sooks, no lefties, tonight, joining me as always in the man cave, the carryover champ. How do your favorite none of them, the wonderful Bromwin Bishop, how are your rockstar terrific?
Thank you?
Very much, Love you to see you. A rock star in the making, and equally one of our favorites, none other than the wonderful Christenaden, of course, say passionate libertarian joining us for the first time this year.
Love you to see you mate.
Hopefully you've had a good summer as well, and I'm sure the three of us could have a very good, long philosophical discussion about hate laws and the over extension of these things and the infringements of around free speech. I will save that for when they start to become a potential reality in New South Wales. But let's start on where I mentioned the worst poll that Albo could have going into an election year. Where As we said, fifty five percent of people say that he's doing a
poor or a very poor job. The preferred prime minister number is now thirty nine to thirty four Nationally. It's forty two thirty three in favor of Peter Dutton in New South Wales, thirty eight thirty four in favor of Peter Dutton in Victoria, forty two thirty two in favor
of Peter Dutton in Queensland. Bromwin polls aren't elections poles up the beginning of trends, Darta da da da da book bookies, all the rest of it, But your sense about the start of this year when the numbers are coming in as clear.
As that I told you before. They were ready to go on the seventh of December, and they will be beating themselves up that they lost their nerve and didn't go because it's not going to get any better. I mean,
the Prime minister performance today was pathetic. I mean truly it was cringe worthy when you start hear him try and push away the responsibility for what is happening in this country because of his poor leadership on the antisemitism and trying to say it's foreign actors when the one word that the Commissioner used was could, yeah, good point, not make could, and he turns it into a full blown thing. It's not my fault, it's all them overseas.
Yes, it's the crypto people. Absolutely.
It's just unbelievable that the man who got to be Prime minister can be that pathetic. You know, I heard somebody say today anyone who gets to be leader, well, they have to have something gave for them, not this land.
You don't see it now.
He never did, and it's just so apparent. Somebody pointed out today that the best week he had in the lead up to the last election was the week he had offered covid.
Well Kristen again in favor of Dunton forty two thirty two in Queensland, thirty eight thirty four in Victoria, forty two thirty three in New South Wales.
You said, whils Victoria, Queensland.
That's the seats now, Are there enough to fully pull it all together? Yes, but it all depends on the performance in and around the teals. But let's talk about you know, Woktopia that is Victoria. Well, it's back on the trend and they don't want this block, No.
They don't. We're sick of the cream of the crop of labor being Anthony Albaneasy. We are sick of everything that labor has done to Victoria and disseminated it. And I personally think that we're going to see something like America did, because you can already see Dutton doing better in the polls. The only risk that I find in this is that there's a bunch of minor parties left,
minor parties that will prop up labor. Yes, and that is the risk in the election, whereas the Libs don't really have that and they might not be able to get over the line in enough seats to form a majority government.
Yeah.
I mean, let's talk about that right now again Sunday
night with the full deep dive on this. But we know that in a system that relies upon preferences, if you are a Team Blue candidate or a Team Green in the Green and Yellow in the regions for the National Party, I am recognizing the differences here, but you know the point if you're a Team Blue candidate that if it's you versus forty eight people on the ballot, well forty seven of them are all going to get together and the non u vote ends up if it's
under fifty being able to over fifty being able to get you the preference discipline on the right that was shown in twenty nineteen from UAP voters and from One Nation voters, we're essentially two out of three of them backed in the coalition, meant Morrison one in twenty nineteen when that wasn't the case. That was kind of the other way around. Bugger them all, Bugger the system and all the reasons why people did what they did. Well,
we got the government that we did. What's your sense about the people who are in a very significant group of people, up to seventeen percent of people who aren't buying into Team Red, Team Blue. They're saying independent another one nation. What's your sense about what they're going to do with number two?
I think people getting to the stage where independent is a luxury good that they don't want a situation where nothing can be done about that cost of living problems, about their mortgage problems. I mean, the country is in the wrong direction when you've got the snake charmer out there saying all these jobs is created, eighty two percent of them are in the public or public dependent sector. Correct,
the private sector has been squeezed out. Now, all those people who risk their houses to have their own businesses, all those people who are struggling to pay themselves a wage to employ other people with a disastrous industrial relations laws which are starting to be felt, and they'll get to be felt more. I think they're going to think, maybe independence is a luxury we can't afford this time.
Yeah, well look again in the Senate the pictures there.
Sorry, Kristin, there are plenty of other pictures and certainly, and I'm not going to pretend that Kristin doesn't of course represent that the libertarian perspective. And again, whether they're fight is in and around the Senate will all wait and see. But again, sorry I interrupted you, Kristin.
No.
I was going to say, well, Labor, the federal labor government is taking a play out of the Victorian Labour's book in terms of stacking the deck. The more people that they put in the public sector, the more people that are going to guarantee them votes. And it's amazing that people don't see that that's what they're doing.
All right, let's talk about Trump, but more importantly the umbrella of which he has now created for Peter Dutton potentially to be able to either pull Australia out of the Paris Accord or to be able to not play the game that the left wants when it comes to
twenty thirty five targets. We know that there is a twenty thirty five target that's going to be coming, but Anthony Ambanez says, I possibly couldn't possibly tell you that before the election because we all know that it would be negotiated as one of the things to potentially keep himself in offers. This is a massive issue for Australia because now that essentially China doesn't really have to apply till twenty thirty, India the same, the developing world the same,
and now America. It's the best part of sixty plus percent of the world's emissions.
Look, what Trump has demonstrated is he said this is going to be a golden age. And you can't have a golden age with rigid policies, green policies, you just can't. They're sclerosis. They're unable to adapt to new things. Look we got from Germany three things, world War one, world War II, and the Greens Party and the Greens Party came out of the anti nuclear party, and there's bands still trotting it out today. But in Europe they're starting
to push them away. It's been a part of which has got no ability to adapt to one of the new circumstances. Now, what Trumps said is that the future of prosperity is energy electricity, that without that you cannot have a prosperostination. And he's right. We are punishing ourselves.
We have the cost of the supermarket checkout, we have the cost of the electricity bill when it comes in, we have the cost of the mortgage every month, and then on top of that we get the insurance bill now, which hits you really hard because it gets bigger and bigger each time. So unless we go back to having cheap energy and cheap fuel, then we can never get a prosperous nation again. And this government is rigid. It is unable to adapt. If it's getting warmer, adapt to
it new policies. But just don't say we've got to put our head in the sand and say, oh, the wolves all coming to an end because because because because climate change has become the world's biggest excuse to do nothing.
Great, Kenn, I know what you think about that. I'm pretty sure I know what many of you will.
Paul. It's GODEWS dot com dot Are you quick break back with more Chris than I promise.
Your first cab off the brank, a first cap off the rank after the break.
Plenty more to talk about here on Paul Murray Live. Thanks for watching. About fifteen minutes still Lactiday, a.
Few days away from Australia Day, and thankfully we are not having the Invasion Day debate over and over and over again. Instead, what we are starting to see is actually the majority of councils and the majority of people representing people in those councils wanting to embrace Australia Day. Yes, there are a significant number who do not, but particularly in areas that represent people who may have come to
the country in this generation or the one before. Now, Chris and Abram is here along with the wonderful Bromwin Bishop Kristen.
What is it that is so obviously.
On show in newer communities that their public embrace of a national day is louder than the people who have had the privilege of being born here and growing up here over many generations longer.
I'm a first generation Australian myself, Paul, and I'm grateful that my parents migrated to Australia. And these people that are getting their citizenship certificate on Australia Day, they've chosen this country. They've said, no, I'm going to leave my home country behind and make this my home and call Australia home. So it is quite a beautiful embrace, and we should be proud of the nation that we live in.
We should be proud of whether that's the people that have chosen to become Australian, the people that were born here first generation, or the people that have been here for forty thousand years. We should all be proud to
be Australians. And I'll say something very controversial about Australia Day though, Paul, and that is I do think that we should change the date of Australia Day on the condition that we celebrate it louder, prouder, bigger and better than we have in the previous years, because I'm sick of this cloud hanging over Australia Day. I am proud to be in Australian and I want the rest of the country to be proud with me. And if that means changing it to today, the thirtieth of January, or
whatever the day it may be, that is okay. As long as we celebrate it, breat it loud and proud, well say, I will be celebrating it in Talkie Beach with a Libertarian counselor with a public barbecue so anyone can come down and get amongst it.
Good stuff, all right, We'll enjoy the BBQ at Torqui beautiful place of course. At the start of the grade Ocean road. That said, of course, I think the issue, as always bromwinize, is that April the twenty third or September six. The whole point is there's a certain group of people who do not want that recognition around modern Australia.
But again to this point where people from places in New South Wales like a Bankstown or a Liverpool that their mayors are saying, look, I'll do any interview you want about how great Australiaday is, but try and find the one on the northern beaches of Sydney to have the same view.
Well, I'll give you two good reasons why Australia Day is so important for people taking citizenship, as we just heard, and that is that as a local member, I went to all citizenship ceremonies. If I missed one, I'd be amazed.
And I did it because I think it was so important that someone was taking the decision to give their all to this country and to sign up to this country, and that is a fantastic and big decision to make, and so I thought it was incumbent on me to be there to talk to them, to discuss with them, to meet them and to know what their hopes and
aspirations were. But in answer to the problem about why the twenty sixth of January is such an important date, it's not only important because that's the day that Governor Philip arrived with the first fleet. It's also the day in nineteen forty nine when Australians went from being British subjects to becoming Australian citizens. And that was a very important change, and that included Aboriginal people. So there are
two good reasons. The sheer guts of the people who traveled over those seas and then had to try and make a living out of the land and stay alive with food and invented things like the stump plow and all that they could do it. That's a good reason. But so is becoming an Australian citizen as distinct from a British subjects.
Yeah, very good point.
I should mention Northern Beach is counciled before they send a complaint to me. They are having a breakfast on the twenty sixth at Newport Beach indeed, and they will be there.
So we used to make we used to have a big ceremony where we made people's citizens on the Beach. Yeah, they don't do that anymore.
Think that's the way, that's the way to do it.
But what's the alternative If if we're not, if we're not having people that are choosing to be Australian citizens be proud on Australia Day, then why are they becoming Australian citizens in the first place? What is the alternative? And everyone else should feel that pride as well.
Great point, excellent point is this is the thing that people who have not had to go through that process, and those rituals seem to be the ones that are most loud and loud and out there.
Again, we're all across the past, we're all we're all aware.
But are anyone who thinks that, you know, Australian Days sort of you know, victory day or rub it in people's face? Of course not right, of course, not the case anyway. We see it as the day when so many people do renew themselves to the country. I was going to talk about dogs in cafes, but I'll save that for tomorrow night. Thank you so much to you, bron with Bishop will see you again next week and christin Abrams again.
Talkie talkie, beach or the mainStreet. Where are you going to be?
Yes, Talkie Rich twelve pm public barbecue. Everyone's welcome. I will be having Australia Day tattoos for you.
How ironically libertarian that you're going to buy it for everyone else, But I get the point.
And happy a strategy to you too. I hope it's great for you.
Yeah, very much, Thank you guys. All right, that's our shaving a thank you very much for watching. Brighton and Bishop will be back next week in the morning. Meghan Kereley, I promise she will be on the show tomorrow and she's no doubt going to make just as many global headlines as she did today. What a great rip in that was. If you want to watch her show, you can find it on YouTube. If you want to find the videos, details or anything else about ours, you go to the page that.
