From the skyinging setter. This is Paul Burry Life.
Thank you so much, Harry, A little walking wounded that you can see. We've got the water, We've got the honey. We're trying to hold on, as the Great Man once said, just after being shot. Fight, fight, fight, and we'll continue to do so. Look, no mucking around tonight.
It is all killer, no killer. Including two of Albo's duds. Look like they're about to walk out the door.
That'll give him the excuse to reshuffle the deck chairs on the political Titanic. Thank goodness, the Secret Service boss is gone. But wait till I tell you how again. The Deep State's going to try to clip Donald Trump's wings and the.
See if at me you. As each day rolls on, there is more.
Chance that labor MPs are about to find themselves in a world of trouble because this union has receipts and it.
Looks like they're about to put them forward.
But first, previous reasons, we have been focused on what's been happening in the United States and focused on sort of some other news that's happened at home. But I still want to go back to something that happened on the weekend.
It was a horrific tragedy that took place in Sydney.
Sydney is reeling from a devastating loss this morning after a heroic father and his two year old daughter died when they're pram rolled onto train tracks.
This story just tears everyone's hard apart, but you a parent of little kids, grandparents' basic human beings.
The reaction from the premiere through.
To the Indian community in Sydney has been utter devastation.
I just saw the train coming down and then a certain bit of screaming.
Yeah, I'm pretty horrific, but I don't really want to.
Talk about it.
Sorry, guys, I'm still upset about it.
Please timed under the train and rescued one of the children, who was thankfully unharmed, and regnited her with the mother.
I hope over time they can gain some small solace knowing that the father died from an extraordinary instinctive active brain. That's not going to bring him or his little daughter back, but it shouldn't go unremarked upon. In the face of a terrible, terrible accident, he gave his own life to try and save his children.
Now, I know, after big stories like this.
We often say the same thing, but I mean it more than ever before, which is about the blink of an eye, the difference between life and death, the difference between a family going to catch a train, the pram getting out of one of their hands, or the lock not working on it. We still don't know yet two little kids inside the pram, one saved, one not, and a father trying to save both, was only able to
save one. Left behind, of course, is this little girl who will grow up without a father and a wife whose entire life was connected to him being in Australia. He was a skilled worker, they were dependents. And there is some conversation that has happened in the past twenty four hours which I'm a little bit stunned to see, and I'm sure it's just the process playing out.
But because his.
Visa was the only way that they were able to stay in Australia, there's a conversation now in an appeal to the federal government to make sure that the mother and daughter, if they want to, can stay in Australia permanently. Now, the family only got here last year, so they may want to return back to India and other family. But if anyone is in any decision making process, fill out the paperwork tonight so they have the option of permanent residency.
We know that this is a process that again they say takes time, but I'm sorry, at least issue some sort of a public statement that it's guaranteed that the family is going to be able to stick around them well under the Daily Telegraph for fow blowing up on what would be just a further complicating detail at a
bloody awful time for the family and their friends. But the Minister for Immigration, Andrew Giles, is being urged to help a distraught mum they lost her husband and daughter in the horror cult and train accident.
Because she faced the risk of deportation.
It's understood the Abenezy government is closely considering the plight of the woman and the child. Of course, the man who died was an IT professional who came to Australia just last year October twenty twenty three July twenty twenty four. Their world is completely torn apart. His visa or their visa was about to expire on the first of August. So whoever's in charge of that stuff, can we just sort it out? Sort it out now, and it's not
a political thing. It's just can I just add my voice to everyone else's, including the spectacular Indian community in Australia, to make sure that this woman has the option to say if she wants and she can have whatever support that she needs now. Also, again, traditionally when horrible things like this happened, go fundme pages or other fundraising efforts kick in because for obvious reasons. Again, if he was the reason they came to Australia. Obviously income is connected
to all of that. But amazingly, the woman at the heart of this is telling people please don't donate, don't donate to anything that's in their names.
We had a story about this on scoron Is yesterday that.
She's just worried about anything online could end up being sort of turned into a turned into some sort of scam or people will make the horrible opportunity here about the scam. So as soon as we hear about a way to support this lady, I will make sure that I will.
Talk about it. But yet again.
A reminder about how just how lightly we are holding on each and every one of us. The way that this has impacted me is I've had the conversations. I've had even louder conversations with my family about how much I love them and my friends. And the other thing too, is that when these things happen, or the Trump situation, or natural.
Disasters all the rest of it, don't hold grudges.
Try to fix up whatever difficulties there are in your life right now.
If you haven't spoken to family members.
For a while, bury the hatchet, because the reality is that again this family thought they were going to catch a train.
Half of it will never come home.
Strength and love to their family, to the Indian community, and to any and everyone who's watching us right now having a tough time for whatever reason it may be, if you're watching us in hospital, if you're watching us when you've come home from hospital, or you're just thinking about the person who might be a bit crook at the moment. Again, as always, from us, strength and love. Now we all remember that one of the great goddesses of the Well she thinks that Australia is a racist country.
We are in a racist, compulent space that we always have been at astray depressing. To give a license like that I find profoundly depressing and a terrible prospect for the next election.
Well Pole comes out today suggesting that a majority of people that have been surveyed do believe that Australia is a racist country. A pole of oney forty two people, which is part of a big series that's happening in the Australian right now. So seventeen percent of people think that the word racist describes Australia a lot, fifty five
percent say that it describes Australia a little bit. Only twenty four percent of people feel that racist is not a word that describes Australia at all, double the proportion in a similar survey from of twelve hundred and three people for news Pole for the fiftieth anniversary of the Australian newspaper ten years ago. Again, congratulations to Chris Kenny and everyone involved in that great documentary celebrating this important institution in Australian journalism that's up now at Skytiews dot
com dot au. But eighty seven percent of people felt that racist described Australia a lot or a little. So the good news is that there's somewhat of a change here. But still I don't understand this and I never do. Oh, But that's because you're a white guy, and you're a white guy on TV, and you're a white guy on scott News primetime. Of course you'd never see it. Is their racism in Australia, Yes, But is there racism in Scandinavia, Japan, China, New Zealand, you name it.
Yes?
Is there potentially even a little bit of racism in Antarctica? Probably because that is the sad reality that a section of people in any country all over the world view things negatively through the prism of race.
But I strongly.
Disagree that the word racist describes Australia at all. Our laws are absolutely clear on it not being acceptable. Our society does not reward in any way, shape or form people who are and quite correctly, when any of us start to see it, we call it out now each and every night and each and every Australia day, in every time we've been on the air. I talk, of course about the Australian flag behind us, that this is not a symbol of white pride, This is not a symbol.
Of any victory or.
Anything like that from a couple of hundred years ago. It's just the national ensign of a symbol of a country of twenty five plus million people who want to get along. Will there be some people inevitably who won't?
Sure?
But the idea there is something deep in our DNA that means when somebody doesn't look like us, what doesn't sound like us, or doesn't believe what we believe.
Then somehow there's a great fear that's out there.
I just don't believe that's true, because, of course Australia is the nation of immigrants. The reality is that all of us, to some degree, over a significant period of time, have some connection to somewhere else. For some people that literally was somewhere else this year, last year, five years ago. For some it's their parents, for some it's their grandparents.
As long as everyone who lives in this country wants to abide by the rules, and the rules are democracy and implied but not legally clear, freedom of speech and understanding, that you can believe in whatever you want or not believe in anything, and it does not affect your social standing,
nor should you be punished in either direction. That you can love who you want to love, You can marry who you want to marry, You can be mates with whoever you want to be so, I strongly disagree, but the survey's a survey and we always try to show you the data. But also the same report does turn around and tell us about migration. Now, remember the politics in and around migration is that to talk about too many people coming into the country at any one time
is code for racism. But how many times have we said it? How many times have I mentioned it that? No, it's a conversation about infrastructure. It's a conversation about our city's capacities to have X number of people in it at any one time. Now, the reality is, as everyone knows, the roads that we currently have are built to the standard from twenty or even longer years ago. When four lanes would be good, you often end up with two
or one. If a toll road turns up and you're part of Australia, with very minor exceptions, it'll be two lanes and then they'll have to shut it down for years to try to.
Push it into three lanes.
We have a school system that, apart from grossly underperforming our kids, is underserving our kids. And we've talked about the conditions of those classrooms. We've talked about how hospital ramping is an endless problem right around the country, but specifically in places where Labour's been in charge for a long time, in fact too long. It's the worst it's ever been. It's the worst it's ever been in Queensland. Now, remember this is a problem because when you call Triple oh,
the ambulance turns up. The ambulance then goes to the hospital. Unless it's literally life and death, then you're going to have to probably sit in the back of the hospital until there is eventually a bed for you to go in the hospital, meaning somebody else who needs to call Triple O may not get the ambulance there. That's what I talk about when we talk about the number of people that come into the country each and every year.
But of course it's too easy to just pretend, oh no, that's all just some sort of coded racism.
Well again, same pole on this issue.
Public support for immigration has nearly halved in the past decade. The Australians Needs of the Nation pole reveals that only thirteen percent of people surveyed support the increase in the number of legal immigrants.
The pole Let's have a look here.
Says thirty two percent say keep it as it is. And remember that's a record highs forty eight percent SA drop because it's record highs, just thirteen percent of people, let's be honest, probably live in places that aren't about to be developed anytime soon. Think teal seats will end up or green seats at thirteen percent. In terms of the raw number of people coming into the country, let's compare this past year to ten years ago. Half a
million and almost seven hundred thousand. Doesn't take a genius to work out that just a couple of years you hit a minion. Now you may also have heard today there's all these stories around about the number of babies that we're currently having in the country.
Not enough people are having babies.
So of course the conclusion will be in order to grow the tax base, you just keep importing more people, more people, more people. Now the political benefit, of course is that if they are over the age of eighteen, they get to vote straight away. You don't have to go through all of that discomfort of having to be trained through the school system to vote the right way.
Well, you end up coming into the country and.
Before somebody says, oh, there's Paul's that are doing the great replacement theory thing, garbage, just talking about logically what takes place. So governments love migration because it's more people who come in theoretically more people paying tax. That means, of course they have more money to spend than ever before. And if they're over the age of eighteen, then hopefully they vote for the government that let them into the country.
But of course you can't say that.
Let's check him in, our old mate, Albert, how's he doing? Obviously I've been away for a couple of weeks, but time to talk about.
The greatest prime minister of all time.
Here he is getting ready for his National spelling Bee.
Oh he's just like us, is he not awkward at all? Now?
When Joe Biden decided to pull a pin on his candidacy, Albo was on holidays.
And sometimes when you're.
The leader of the country or just a lowly TV host, sometimes, whether news is big enough, you actually have to go bugger where I am. Just get me to the gig. It's part of the privilege of doing what I do. But it seemed to be a little bit annoying for the Prime minister, because God forbid anyone would interrupt his holiday. This is what he said in a press conference a couple of days ago.
Well, I've tried to have a couple of days off, and here I am at a press conference on Monday. Might I say that the acting Prime Minister of Richard Barals has been given a bit of an easy time.
Oh my gosh, just such a common touch, right, such a common touch.
The bloke with two.
Taxpayer funded houses, The bloke who's going to get not one but two brand new private jets, yes, ordered by the previous government, but not canceled by this government. The guy who, of course understands your pain when it comes to cost of living, yet has plenty of things in his government that have made it worse. Well, there's a little bit of political news to talk about here that
press goverments didn't go down very well. Feel free to read any of the comments on any of the social media things.
That are around.
But the number of people who are part of his team, part of the people who are sitting around the cabinet table as the ministers of the Crown, Well, apparently there is about to be a little bit of a change.
Why there's about to be a reshuffle.
Why because according to Sydney Morning Herald tonight, there are going to be some resignations and dead wood is about to go. It is expected that senior labor of Ministers Linda Burnie Brendan O'Connor are about to say in the next couple of day that they will not be seeking re election.
They even be pulling a Biden.
Now this is interesting because, of course, remember we don't have an election technically until next year. Why would they possibly be pulling the pin right now, other than to give an opportunity for the Prime Minister.
To have.
Everything in place for an election whenever he wants it. Remember, he can have it anytime from August all the way through to the first part of next year, but with an interest rate rise coming on its way, he's unlikely to do that sooner rather than later. But the reshuffle gives an opportunity for him to get rid of even more dodgy deadwood, like, for example, the idiot immigration minister Andrew Giles. He should go, Clueless Clear O'Neil, she should go.
But of course they won't. Factional reasons all the rest of it. But can I suggest that for the government to actually have some real impact, they should rearrange more than just the low level stuff and.
It won't happen. I know it won't happen because, as we know, Jim Chalmers, future.
Leader of the party, the right wing hope whenever Albow eventually decides to go in seven hundred elections time. You know, the guy who's going to remake capitalism and has got great stories from the.
Big day out but also investment. You want to talk about a minister who's done some damage here.
Remember what he had to say about the federal budget this year that saw the two little too late tax cuts.
Speak of the number one priority of this government, and this budget is helping Australians with the cost of living, responsible relief that eases pressure on people and directly reduces inflation.
Except it hasn't now.
Remember inflation is calculated every three months, but we get a report every month. The Reserve Bank wants it to be between two and three percent, but it has now gone back up to four percent. So if Jim Chalmers is the guy in charge of the economy, but the economy is heading in the wrong direction when it comes to the very indicies by which the Brazil Bank will decide whether to lift or cut interest rates, then perhaps he is not as amazing a performer, as the press
gallery will have you say. Now, of course they'll giggle and laugh and oh how dead even suggest it. All I'm suggesting is that there should be direct accountability in the lead up.
To the budget. Post the budget, Oh, inflation's going to fall.
Inflation went up, if the Reserve Bank puts up interest rates, well, then the accountability would be that the person who is clearly responsible for that should at least be thinking twice about whether he keeps the job until Albow eventually goes away. For the past couple of weeks, the CFMU has been
under the pressure of well, their own actions. The CFMEU, of course hardcore, the people that are able to stand over governments, to be able to say no, no, no, The stopgo person should earn two hundred and fifty thousand dollars because they'll sit outside in the rain.
Well, of course, sixty minutes in.
The incredible reporting that they did a couple of weeks ago was unbelievable. Now, I hate when people come back from holidays and sort of talk about stuff from two weeks ago, as if somehow the person filling in for them didn't talk about it.
I'm not about to do that.
But what I am going to say is that the CFMU today has announced its response to implement a code of conduct.
Oh isn't that wonderful.
They're not going to clear ranks, they're not going to sack people, they're not going to shut down.
They're going to put in a code of conduct.
Of course, the Prime Minister says, oh, I'm going to be very serious about this, very serious, verous.
My government has acted decisively. We will put administrators in because we will ensure that culture changes and we'll make sure that anyone with any links is removed from the union movement. What we want to do is make sure that any corrupt officials are removed.
And you love anywhere's the bush hat system, Malcolm Turnbull. But still it's very marrick feel clean, isn't it.
Well?
Of course this government well now it's trying to turn around, so we're in a clean up the SURFA MEU.
It's terrible culture, all the rest of it. It actually did the bidding of it. You see.
It has been a colossal fight, a real ideological fight between team Red and team Blue about whether or not there should be like a standing Royal commission to make sure that the poor performance and poor behavior of the cfmme you can actually be policed. In the Howard years there was the Australian Building and Construction Commission. Then Labor of course comes to power and they get rid of it because it's holding the CFM you accountable.
Then in the Abbot years it was brought back.
And now that Albo is there, of course they do the union bidding and they get rid of the.
Permanent cop on the beat.
But then there's the other part of this story that I have been teasing it for a couple of days, but let's get to it. There are clearly a lot of people inside the Labour Party who only exist in Labor Party because of, in part, the power of the CFMU. Now, yes, the CFMAU technically is cleaving itself off from the Labor Party, but these people.
Have been around for a while.
These people have got pretty deep connections, which means it is interesting when things like the Victorian Planning Minister starts taking questions this week about what she knew in and around it all. Well, of course she's turned around and said that the Planning Minister, well, she was actually aware of some of the allegations against the same FMEU. So
she's resigned, right, No, of course not. She just gives press conferences because in this age of accountability, when no one ever loses their job, even when they are known to have failed at their job, like the people who have failed to actually report the things that ended up turning up in the media and disgracing the organization, and only after they have been disgraced in the media they come out and say things about the organization.
They are part of the problem. We call this the Harris effect.
I've referred that match up on at the time, and that matter is being dealt with by the Fair Work Commission. That matter was referred on. I referred that matter on and it's been dealt with by the Fair Work Commission. So I referred that matter on. I did not raise it personally with just Intail. I've referred that matter on. Okay, I did not raise it with Daniel Andrews.
No one loses their job, do they ever? Wait?
What does it take for a minister to resign these days? The CFM you caught red hand and all the footage, all the rest of it. I knew about it, but I didn't really say very much. No punishment, nothing happens. But as Labour now starts to turn on the cfm you, or at least pretend that they are turning on the CFMU. The CFME you, who have the receipts of the political interactions that they have had with the Labor Party, are now threatening will to.
Show those receipts.
Let's cet her attention and how the story plays out in Sydney where the new Suppas government is being directly I would have to say threatened by the CFMAU because a letter which the Daily Telegraph got shows that the CFMEU boss believes that he's been betrayed by the Premier of New South Wales for coming after them. The nusipe's government members of parliament will all be outed as talking to the CFMAU before they became the government. This is the words of the boss of the CFMAU in New
South Wales. Newsoba's government members of Parliament and ministers prior to the election, and many ministers and senior public servants are for the elections, no concerns. The CFMU is willing to release the names of those individuals to you privately
or publicly. Labour ministers of Parliament. Members of Parliament have attended, at times addressed rallies organized by the same CFMU that you now choose to malign without your any due process, without any respect for the rule of law, without any respect to the right of the presumption of innerc This matters because there might well.
Be a little bit of accountability here. You see.
While they have been able to successfully get rid of the standing Royal Commission into the building sector via the Australian Building and Construction Commission that's been built and torn down and built again and torn down again depending on whether it is a Liberal or Labor government, there is one institution the CFMU does not have power over, and that is the Independent Commission against Corruption in New South Wales. Now, obviously these matters should be potentially heading to many of
these corruption commissions around the country. But it's a new so of Oil's Liberal Party that say that this fairly obvious threat, fairly obvious suggestion there may well have been some sort of dealings between existing members of the use of Wal's government and the Union that they now want to pretend that they have nothing.
To do with. Well, what are those things? What is the quid pro quo?
Politically, the Liberal parties say this thing is going to go off to aikak. They say there should be an investigation into the CFMMU and given the form of Ikak, you would imagine they would at least look into it.
Now.
Mark Speakman, who is useless but still the opposition leader in New South Wales, still has the capacity to punch out a letter and you would imagine the standing Royal Commission into all matters to do with corruption in New South Wales would even have to read a letter that comes from him. The Premiership refuses to give up the CFM he's tainted money, allows his MPs to remain union members, will not establish a Royal Commission, and hasn't reserved The Reserve referred the threats.
To Eykak, so they did it for them. Watch this space.
Speaking of accountability, remember we towed you last night the absurdity of the boss of the Secret Service, who very obviously.
Should have been sacked.
Oh no, but there was a game about whether she would or wouldn't resign, despite the fact that very obviously, when a former president gets shot and the bullet hits him, it's game over.
Get out of the way. See you later.
Well, surprise, surprise, despite that nonsense that you saw when she refused to resign, everyone knew that she was going to resign, so she was allowed to resign. She did so while you were sleeping last night. But unbelievably, despite the fact that this person should have been sacked, old mate, Joe decided to write a statement in praise of her
as she goes out the door. Because I get it, he gives no fs anymore, right, but still, Jill and I are grateful to the director for decades of public service. She has selflessly dedicated and risked her life.
Blah blah, blah, blah blah.
Please meantime, guess what the Secret Services having now? As it's advice for Donald Trump about how not to get shot next time.
It's not on I will do a better job. It's can you stop having the rallies outside?
Despite the fact that he's had like dozens and dozens of dozens feels like hundreds and hundreds of these rallies with tens of thousands of people, and no one's taken a shot at him until what took place, what not even two weeks ago. Clearly they know how to have these rallies something went wrong on that day. But now they're turning around saying no, you can. Can you stop
with the outdoor rallies. Apparently part of the advice that was leaked to the Washington Post for upcoming events, the Trump team is scouting indoor events such as basketball arenas and other large spaces where thousands of people can fit in people for me with the request said, but you see, also what this is about is limiting the crowd sizes, because if you limit the crowd sizes to venues that where only five thousand people can be well, then when
Carmela has her rallies and she has them inside, then it's equal crowds.
Right.
But I think we both know that even with all of the carry on that's happening right now, the Trump will always pull a bigger crowd.
He pulled bigger crowds.
When he won in sixteen, when he lost in twenty and whatever's going on right now in twenty twenty four. But if you go inside, then there'll be no way that anyone's going to know just how much support he has, which of course will fit with the overall media narratives right now that apparently he's absolutely panicked about what's happening when it comes to Kamala Harris, which brings me to.
Kamala Harris.
Just last year was considered a joke, a joke by the left.
Words have many meanings, and sometimes instead of conveying our meaning, they can suggest other meanings.
When we talk about the children of the community, they are a children of the community.
Well, we are the United States of America, because we are united and we are states.
Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.
Whatever we have in store cannot be known.
The past was once the future, the future is, i should say unknown.
We've got to take this stuff seriously as seriously as you are, because you have been forced to have to take it seriously.
And the right Hi, I'm over by found you n I'm sixteen and a half years old. I'm the speech right of calmer hairs. My mom and Betty say, if you find a job in of you'll never have to work a day in your life.
But of course, since I pushed the old man president out of the way or in this case, very very slowly down the stairs. She is the second coming a bomber and a skirt and even better Hillary. This is now the reaction that the same people who used to laugh at her now say about why you have to vote for her. I was on the way, I was like,
I kind of fell in love with her. I thought she was smart, engaging, she's funny, feisty, twinkle in your eye, punch you in the gut, I mean, everything you kind of want.
And I just thought it was a great, great opening actor.
And of course they've come up with this new scenario that she's so amazing you can't criticize her, But if you turn around and criticize her for the things that she has said about her job that she has done as vice president.
Like this, can you have any plans to visit the border?
I'm here in Guatemala today. At some point, you know we are going to the border. We've been to the border. So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. We've been to the border. We've been to the border.
You haven't been to the border, and.
I haven't been to Europe.
And I don't understand the point that you're making there.
Is a new way that they will come after you.
Any criticism or lack of awesome support will be defined.
As they're running very scared.
They have nothing else other than racism and sexism.
And when people do that to black women, that is what Banna is talking about.
I don't know how much more racist you can.
Be here we go, but there are a few things you should know about the second coming. Kamala Harris is not amazing at being able to keep people around her, despite the fact that she was the number two interesting report in the past twenty four hours.
Did you know that ninety.
Two percent of people that have worked for Kamala Harris since she became the vice president have left her office and don't work for her anymore. Oh and here's another story, because you remember, it's Republicans and Trump people who are of course the crazies, the nasties, the threats to democracy. Well, I bet you didn't hear this today, but an eighty year old man got run over by somebody simply because he was a Trump supporter.
Again, if this had been in reverse, we'd be hearing about it right Instead.
You've literally got to go and find the local news on the Internet to find this story.
The hit and run was at a residence on Anthony's Street at roughly five forty five in the afternoon. An eighty year old resident was setting up a Donald Trump support signs in his yard. According to the police, the driver had pulled out the signs and when the resident tried to put them back, the driver came back into the yard and ran the resident over. The resident is now at Portage health and critical condition.
But of course that's steep fake videos, right, quick break, pleading want to talk about looking forward to the debate tonight with Joe Hildebrand and with Bromavision.
You can always send me an email portsgunews dot com dot you.
Thank you to everyone who's already reached out. We've got a full house for Newcastle on Sunday.
Thank you very much. Looking forward to these guys in the man cave.
I will keep my distance so nobody gets whatever the heck is going on with me right now. The wonderful Bromwin Bishop carry out a champ and taking her on as always on the behalf of albow, but so much more.
With love, Yeah love, I'm the other disease.
Yeah, the woke might no you're not.
That's our worst problem.
So let us get to how Albow breaks the funk. Because they tried it with the budget didn't work. The polls consistently in a scenario where their vote is very low thirties or very high twenties, that is worse than the last election. I know that they all run around say but that the teal is the teals, they save.
Us from everything. Well again, who knows, but if.
The freshwater thing's correct that it's fifty one forty nine, then maybe some of those tels are going to disappear. However, there's apparently about to be a reshuffle. Why because Linda Burnie and Brendan O'Connor both will say see you later, they'll pull a Biden and they will not recontest. So how does our cleary his funk? And I've got to say, I don't think reshuffles ever do.
Ever, Reshuffles make enemies one because the ones who go they'll still be sitting in there until the election. Secondly, the people who get in, they'll be a bit for themselves. But the people who think they should have got in and didn't, they'll be really dirty on it. So reshuffles never make for happy relationships.
But here's problem is this.
You've got Elbow the trot and you've got the snake Charmer as the leaders, and under that you've got a pretty ordinary front.
Bench, and then under that you've got a very shallow.
Pool for which to choose any replacements. So they are in a funk and their primary vote is slipping and basically at the end of the day, I think the baseball bats are starting to come out.
Yeah it is. I've got to after a couple of weeks away.
And again I'm not going to get into one term talk, but but I am certainly and look again, itself selecting her you end up talking to while playing the Pokey's around Australia. But the pokey pole, as I've said before, if there is an interest straight rise, then there's no spin.
There's nowhere and nowhere else to go.
It's their fault. That's that's my sense of the mood right now. So you can rename the new Minister for Industrial Relations and you can you know, change the press sect whatever. If the fundamental idea is that inflation is not being beaten when they said it would be being beaten. The too little, too late doesn't actually land well, then what exactly is their option to get out of it other than Peter Dotton Peter Dotton, Peter Dotton.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to fly either.
I'm always been very suss on you know, government, governments, when they're in government should act like they're in government, not act like they're in opposition. So, you know, and you lead a positive game. There's a couple of things I would say. One is that I'm actually surprised how well the government's doing given the amount of pressure that people are under. And from what I hear, all I hear is why aren't they doing more?
Why are they.
Someone said to me the other day, why are they even talking about anything else? Why are they talking about anything but cost of living? And I completely agree, I think they need a circuit breaker. There's the reshuffle is not going to be that, and it's not meant to be that. It will be very small, be very minor. I don't think it's going to be a big problem because Giles will be demoted, but it will look like he's just been moved.
He's not going to move ten different ministers.
You'll move move a couple.
It'll be ministers that were in the case of O'Connor and Linda Burney, who were going anyway, this is widely expected. Giles will sort of it'll be a demotion, but they'll make it look like moving sideways, and Clara O'Neil will also be made to look like she's moving sideways. And I think, well, inside the camera bubble, inside the camera bubble, they'll go.
But again, people don't care to.
Gain in the same way nobody's sitting around, go jeez, who's who's the homeless minute?
This is why, And you're right, the interest rate rise, if it happens, could be fatal, which is why I still think whether they do it or not, I still think their best bet, and a senior sort of labor elder statesman was saying this to me just today. Their best bet is still to go as long as they
possibly can. But the interest rate rise if it comes as far back in the rearview mirror as possible, so that when people do go to the polls, they're thinking forward to the next interest rate move, which will be down.
Hopefully, Right, Warren Hogan, there can be three of them.
Three of them three Yeah, Well, I mean then you might as well, just you know, it's all get it will be. It will be minority government, and the question will be whether it's minority without the Teals and the Greens. Praise Jesus, hopefully that means seventy two seats or whether.
The news poles right, it's eight seats and you do need to get.
The party could be in minority government.
That's true, all right.
Now I want to get to to see if any for two reasons. One, they've introduced a code of conduct that'll fix that. I mean, this is this is sort of like bad boss stuff, right, like, well, you know, we know everything's right, but he's a you think of conduct.
But what I am really fascinated by is that, for obvious reasons, regardless of whether the official affiliations all the rest of it, right, that the obvious meshing over decades between grunt to boss level of the CFMEU and labor left politics pretty obvious, right, And the boss in New South Wales saying, well, if you're going to throw us under the bus, guess what you're coming with me.
We're going to talk.
About what you asked me to do at a polling center. You were going to tell everyone what you said to do when it came.
To disrupting the last government. Bromwin, what do you think, Well.
The fact that the matter is god to Conwa is just a joke. I mean, nobody's going to buy that. But the whole issue is very serious because the Labor Party is the political wing of the trade union movement. The nexus is there. They select candidates, they decide on policy. But more than that, you've now got these allegations that are being made with the boasts that well you look after us and we've got this.
Influence with CIBIS.
Yes, now, this is a very serious allegation to make, particularly if you go back through the whole thing. As Sebus is the child of the CFMEU construction area. They built one Blig Street. Julia Gillard negotiated at least to put the whole of the parliamentary officers in there as the major tenant, and then said, oh no, it's all fine because somebody said, so.
You've got three cfme you.
A directors sitting on there, and two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in fees were paid to the CFMU on be half of those three directs, which.
Is why there will never be a Royal Commission exactly.
And Wayne Swan he gets one hundred and ninety nine thousand in the year twenty twenty three year.
But that's paid to him.
So but it's just all this feeling that it's not right. It doesn't past a pub test or any other goddamn tests, and there needs to be a proper investry.
And there's no problem with industry super funds as long as the union that is operating them.
Is it engaging in godgiac But.
My point is I get where the government's going to pretend they're going to do something about it. I get why they're not going to do what they should do about it. But how nervous would any political organization be if the toughest part of it is willing to say, if you break up, I'm going to release the photos.
Well, this is the thing obviously when you're dealing with you know, certainly the Construction Division in Victoria, and I think it extended to Tasmania and the South Australia recently before set could eventually resign.
They are sort of off the chain. They are rogue.
There have been that many allegations about them, and even the stuff that is sort of on the public record that we can see for ourselves shows they're a pretty tough bunch of you know.
Hyper militant borderlong borderline.
Sort of thuggish individuals involved and and the and SECA and Albanezy have a long history and it is not a good one. So the idea that Albow is in any way in said Albow's law commission, there those sub faction.
Because of course he's not commissioned. Yeah, correct, But.
Albo's sub faction of the left is in opposition to the one that them is involved with, as we've seen also in South Wales where the right wing labor right premier Chris Means and said nat see you later, we don't want you.
So yeah, there will be Actually I was going to say the receipts will be released them.
Sorry to cut you off. Got to go to a break because we're also going to go to Paris.
And then these guys itching at the bit to talk about Trump and Harris.
But I promise it's not the stuff you've heard. Every smallnessing.
All right.
The Olympics opening couple of days time at Australia will of course be represented.
By two flag bearers with the news of whom they are. It's Hannah Hola.
So you will see all over the different places that you can see Fox Sports, Fox Sports newsky News, Fox News, all the rest for the Fox sports dot com that I you her own Twitter feed, Instagram, Hannah lovely to see you. We'll just put all the plugs out there. Who is carrying the flag?
All bonjour to you, Paul, so wonderful to chat to you this evening. Okay, I'm going to put everyone out of their misery. Jess Fox and Eddie Ockenden are officially the twenty twenty four flag bearers to captain Australia through our Paris Olympic Games in just two days time. They will be on barges on the river sand that I'm standing right next to. But the big announcement, Paul, came right here at the Mono d Pirie. It's the mint and it is also where the bronze, the silver, and
the gold medals for the Games have been made. And each of the medals have a piece of the Eiffel Tower as part of them. So Jess Fox a household name, most decorated athlete in canoe slalom. We know that she
was born in Marseilles. It is somewhat of a homecoming for our assie Jess And then we also have Eddie Ockenden, who back in two thousand and eight, Paul was the youngest cooker Borough to make the Olympic team and play at an Olympics, and to think this is his fifth Olympic Games and he's the very first cooker Borough to notch up such an impressive milestone. Both of them almost rendered speechless, but it will become very real for them on the barge in a couple of days time.
Look, look, I don't want to hold you responsible for what the Paris organizers are doing here, but if there's a piece of the Eiffel Tower, there are three hundred and twenty nine medal events, which obviously means times three. Which leg did they cut off of the Eiffel Tower?
Maybe, Paul, that's why all the scaffolding is up and we can't actually get anywhere near the Schamp de Mars. Breaking news here in Paris. We've cracked the code.
See this is it, this is it.
We're across it. Can't wait to see your coverage. We'll talk longer and more so through the games. But Hannah love you to see you enjoy Paris.
See you later about it. She's been on the duel LINGO. Good to see. Now let's get back to Bromwin and Joe Harris. Trump.
You Bromwin very crisply, and I thought, very cleverly yesterday when you were on with Sharry said, Okay, look I get it, all the giggles, all the rest of it. She's serious, she's real. There's a machine behind her that's real. So fight her from day one because she's serious.
Indeed she is, and she stepped out with an aggressive attack which has been repeated everywhere and we'll go on being repeated. Nobody knows much about her, so they can really invent her as they wish. And all the stuff about Biden that people keep saying, he is Yesterday's man, absolutely, and he's not fighting Biden.
He's gone, he's.
Gone, and this is this is the fight that's on. So in my view, Trump has to attack her, but it has to be tying her into the policies and particularly into that wall, because everybody knows that was the job she was tasked to.
Do and didn't go to the wall and didn't go to Europe.
I think she said, yeah, well, but also this is the thing right right right where, and I tried to find this today.
But obviously there's only so many things we can chase in any one day.
Right back, right back at the start, Remember Biden was all about it is the Biden Harris administration. I mean he said, you know, it was almost a Harris Biden administration.
Will not be allowed to reign on her parade?
Oh no, well he's canceled everything.
We'll be back in the dungeon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not going anywhere now.
Obviously he makes a speech tomorrow that he should have made a couple of days ago.
But apparently I love that.
Of Course, the reason he didn't was because he had COVID. But apparently we hear that the COVID wasn't that bad, so therefore there was no capacity to get in front.
Of him to be living with the disease. Now anyway, yeah, what's the whole that's another story. Let's let's not start.
But I'm going to say I agree with everyone what you're thinking about. All right, So Joe, about about Harris.
Right, obviously you're feeling more confident yet she she's obviously a better option than Biden, but it feels like a sugar hit, and unless you're filling up on a bag of lollies, the sugar hits go away.
So as I actually just wrapped recording my podcast this afternoon, saying, and Harris is doing not much better than Biden.
She's still behind Trump in every pole.
Now she's just got up I think by two points naturally. And I just saw that pole as soon as I soon as I finished recording. That too late to go back. But I still I'm sticking to my guns. I still just don't see how she gets there first. I don't know how she gets there in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Michigan.
You know the usual copio, won't.
She I think she's going to pick Mark Kelly because of Arizona, the astronaut out of Arizona, whos the is.
Yeah, I have no idea who she's going to.
Pick for Arizona Pennsylvan.
But I just I just think California Democrats are toxic to Midwestern Democrats. I think the people who voted Obama and then voted for Trump, they were voting against the kind of you know, elite woke identity politics.
Progress.
There's another very sure, and that is that the Democrats actually have a man problem. It is men who change against the Democrats, and she won't get them back.
And also if you dig into the details, and again the great thing about when these poles come out in America is they actually release all of the details. It's not just sort of the headline in the papers. All the detail and you can go in there. And African American men have always had an issue with her. Whether they continue to move to Trump, all of this statistically
important we will continue to talk about again. A big chat in the car park is coming up, but right now get ready for the late DEBATESED tomorrow
