Episode Transcript
This is the world according to Roland.
Good evening, and welcome to the world according to Rowan Dean, a world in which the Australian voter gets a genuine choice at the next federal election, a choice between socialism on steroids also known as net zero, or honest and genuine freedom of choice known as ditching zero.
What's coming up on the show, including even more doubts around Susan Lee's leadership, will there be a spill anytime soon?
Plus Ricky Gervais his hilarious ad campaign that got banned and Ricky Ain't Happy?
And how the climate nutjobs bulldozed parts of the Amazon for their climate change gabfest.
But first, Ronald Reagan once warned that the scariest words in the English language were I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
How Ronald Reagan must have been spinning in his grave the other evening when he heard these words uttered in a jubilant victory speech by New York's new mayor, Zorron Maandani, we will prove.
Speaker 2That there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.
Speaker 1Take those words in slowly and muddle them over, especially if you happen to be planning to move to New York.
Quote, we will prove there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.
Wow, the honesty is breathtaking, the arrogance is off the charts, and the self delusion is terrifying.
But there you have the new modern Communist manifesto rit large.
The New York Post accurately ran a cover mocking the Mandani's Marxist agenda on your Marx get set Zoe, the red Apple, a hammer and sickle and so on.
But all jokes aside.
This election is no laughing matter.
The only bright side is that this victory is limited to the Mayor's office, and the damage that will occur very swiftly, by the way, will largely, but not exclusively, be limited to New York.
And it's not as if they haven't been repeatedly warned over the last few months about the tinder box they are playing with.
If it weren't so sad, it would be amusing.
It may seem crazy that women in New York would welcome the prospect of Sharia law or an Islamic caliphate.
But that appears to be what's happening here.
Speaker 3Sharia last starts now that.
Speaker 4Ron Mundani Islamic calipedes, our brother in Islam, Islamic Calipade of New York starts today.
Speaker 5We're all converting to Islam.
I've already got one friend converted tonight.
So the lines to begin conversion will begin tomorrow morning, bright and early eight am.
There will be mosques being built on every single block.
Speaker 1But back to Mandani's words.
Firstly, there is no problem too large for government to solved.
Talk about having tickets on yourself.
What kind of power mad narcissist believes that they can solve all your big problems.
Of course, everyone can have grandiose plans, but big plans require big bureaucracies, and big bureaucracies require big money, and big money only ever comes to government through big taxes.
The big taxes first come from the big companies, but very quickly big taxes are inevitably levied on the little businesses and the little people, and enterprise, competition, and innovation are quickly snuffed out.
I can think of plenty of problems that, by definition, governments would love to solve, but nearly always fail to the lack of success isn't the problem, it's the devastation that comes in its wake.
Think of the current mess our own quasi socialist government has created with its insane net zero targets.
Yes, Chris Bowen is as deluded as Mandani and thinking his government can solve line of change.
So let's take a couple eradicate poverty.
Yes, many governments have tried, all have failed, and in nearly every case, the attempts to solve poverty end up dragging the entire economy into a ditch rich as well as poor, from which it can take decades to escape.
Think of Argentina's long long decline under socialism.
The list of failed socialists or communist states is as long as your arm.
Those that have a veneer of success have achieved it either through fear and intimidation or chronic corruption or deception.
Which route will Mandani attempt?
I place a large bet on deception.
He is a master showman, and having achieved nothing of substance in his life up until this point, it's a safe bet that he will be relying on his charisma to see him through.
But of course the problem is that if you promise to fix every large problem.
You can only attempt to do so by grabbing more and more state power over the lives of individuals and corporations.
Fix healthcare, there's only one avenue open to that.
More bureaucracy, more spending, more borrowing, more rules, and ultimately administrators have to meet unachievable targets and goals, and that means administrators end up with absolute power over who lives and who dies.
Fix homelessness.
As Margaret Thatcher demonstrated, people will care for their homes and even their community if they have a personal financial stake in it, and the converse is true.
Public housing on a mass rather than a targeted scale inevitably may lead to vast, crumbling slums and violent nogos zones as gangs, drugs, and corruption inevitably take their grip.
Solve crime, you're either go in hard with the police and even the military, as Donald Trump has done in certain places with great success, or you go soft on the crimes.
They are the only two choices.
It's a pretty safe bet which way Mamdani will go.
Speaker 2Violence is an artificial construction.
Right right have to be very clear what's happening here.
The attorneys.
That is violence.
Speaker 1This meme was all over the internet yesterday.
It speaks volumes.
There you go, poor old statue of liberty, And apparently, already, according at least to this Florida real estate agent, New Yorkers may already be desperate to flee New York.
Speaker 6It literally turned on like a light bulb, literally blew off like a firecracker.
And the post socialist New York City political market is here on our shores in Palm Beach.
Speaker 1Welcome.
And of course we can expect Bowen like climate zelotry to infuse everything the new Mayor of New York touches.
But whatever Mandani thinks he can do to solve the big issues is almost the second part of his grand bargain with New Yorkers.
That should terrify them the most quote, no can concern too small for government to care about.
There is a blueprint for that too.
It's called communist China, where every movement, every decision you make, every conversation you have, every item you purchase, every trip you make is subject to not only government control but government coercion.
Oh yes, they certainly do care about every little thing you do and how you do it.
Ultimately, communists are nothing but prying, busybodies who don't have the talent or the imagination to be successful in the world of private enterprise, so instead seek self validation through left wing politics or left wing bureaucracies, where they get their rocks off by wielding enormous power over those who are more talented than them.
In many ways, the pettier the power, the more they enjoy it.
Think of COVID, don't sit in the park, don't go to the beach, stay within five kilometers of your home, blah blah, stand six meters from everyone else.
The thrill and the glee with which the COVID demagogues here in Australia lord it over the rest of us should never be forgotten.
But this young New Yorker bells the cat.
Speaker 5The bigger concern for me is the growing number of people who know what socialism is and know what it leads to, but they want it for America because they hate America and want to destroy it.
Speaker 1So any good news, well, the good news for Americas that hopefully the Mandani experiment will collapse within a couple of years as people realize that no government can solve all the big problems and that they are fed up with government busybodies caring about all the petty problems, all the little stuff.
Hilariously, Zara Mundani began his first day in office like every true socialist by asking for your money.
Speaker 2On January first, I will be your mayor.
New Year's Day and a new era for the city.
Oh and one more thing.
Remember how I told you a few months ago to start sending us money.
You can start again.
Speaker 1Heaven helped New York well joining me now Ah Bronwyn Bishop, former rock star in Parliament, and current conservative rock star Warren Munvene.
Great to add two rock stars here with me.
Now, let's talk about Susan Lee's leadership, which continues to appear to be in jeopardy.
Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson express concerns on Sky News this morning.
Speaker 7I can't pretend things are good.
I do think Susan is losing support, but I do believe in miracles.
We can turn things.
Speaker 1Around with a new leader or with Susan Lee.
Speaker 7Pete, I am just going to say at the moment that I cannot support the way things are.
Speaker 1With Susan Lee as leader.
It sounds like you're not supporting her position as leader.
Speaker 7Well, I can't back in the way things are, Pete, and I've got to be authentic and I've got to be honest about that, and it's very difficult.
It's a very difficult time for the Liberal Party.
Speaker 1Angus Taylor this morning was also asked if he plans to roll the opposition leader.
This is what he had to say.
Speaker 2I think Susan is well established as leader and witness.
Speaker 4An excellent Are you planning to roll her?
Speaker 8Absolutely not?
Speaker 1And today he had seen that almost everyone was being questioned about a possible leadership spill.
Speaker 9No, I don't.
Speaker 7In fact, I think Susan has been really consistent in her messaging since she was elected.
She has said that we want to lower emissions, but not at any cost.
Speaker 1No, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 10Is her leadership?
Speaker 1I'm still saying yes it is.
I'm really sorry.
Speaker 5I have appointment to support yourself.
Speaker 1Thank you, thank you.
So let's ask my rock stars what's happening, bron when you've seen this many many times before?
Is can Susan survive next week?
Obviously net zero is critical to that, but what are your thoughts?
Speaker 11There is the difficulty that Susan is the first female leader, and no person who follows her in is going to be want to have seen to have assassinated the first female leader.
So what we're seeing is the powerplace.
We're seeing those people who are left out of the administration first, and those people who want a bigger role, and other people who are finding their numbers and finding where it may happen.
So I think we'll see a bit more of this for quite some time, and they're going to have to find a solution that will allow dignity to prevail, because once they settle the question of getting rid of net zero, which has to happen, and then they can start to attack the government instead of each other, then they'll be able to find a solution about how everyone can emerge with a certain amount of dignity and they can go forward.
Speaker 1Well on, you and another rock star just Enterprice won the Voice campaign very much through your efforts and your intelligence and your personality and your arguments.
Above all, Net zero is the new voice, isn't it?
Or it could be for the liberals?
Do you think it is the new voice?
Speaker 12Because it affects every level of Australian's economy and social life.
Once you get the rumblings that's happening within the party room, this is within the party room, then that's a big, big problem.
And then also I've been around the country like yourself, in a lot of the Liberal Party functions in West Australia's Victoria, New South Wales and so on.
The rumblings are they're in the membership.
Speaker 1So what miracle they come up with?
Speaker 12This discussion about the net zero meeting has to be workable otherwise they're finished.
Speaker 1So from when there is a kind of timetable, there's a meeting next Wednesday, then there's following next Sunday.
There should be the following Sunday week there should be a party room meeting to endorse the agreed position.
You know, are we dragging all this out?
Shouldn't they?
I mean, it's not a typical decision.
You're either in or you're out.
Speaker 11It's not looking good.
But if I can say this, the people who are in favor of keeping net zero are the same people who voted yes in the voice.
So it's interesting that the real preponderance of world movement is away from net zero.
Every piece of evidence you see, whether it's the majority of countries that haven't bothered to tell those people in the Paris Agreement and what their targets are.
People are moving away, even bill Gate's coming out, and yet we've got Bowen and Albaneza.
You can't gyre together like twins who are just determined to put on with a piece of ideology which is going to send us bankrupt if they're allowed to do so.
Speaker 1So, like every.
Speaker 11Collective dist government, you always think you can sacrifice the individual to the outcome that you particularly want, which is what this social government is doing here in Australia, and it's got socialist connotations.
That's the background of the Prime minister.
So individuals don't matter.
But unless we get to the stage where we get rid of net zero and say gone, then you will not be able to attack the government because fundamentally you're in agreement with them.
Speaker 1Once it's gone.
Speaker 11You can say from every aspect of those three words, then ats came up with which I thought were very good, Cheaper, better, fairer.
You can say, well, this is a cheaper way we'll get electricity, this is a fairer way we'll get electricity, This is a better way of achieving what's good for the country.
There are so many opportunities to get in there and attack them, but they've got to be definitive about it and say this is our position.
Now we're going forward.
Speaker 1So we're in one nation.
Seems to be cleaning up.
All those are a lot of people deserting the Liberal Party and heading over to one nation.
We've seen that in membership.
We've seen and opinion polls up to fifteen percent for one nation.
Is it conceivable that the Liberal Party and the nets can win those people back?
And how do they do it?
Speaker 12Well, it is conceivable they could win them back, but I've got to make a declaration.
I work in the energy and mining industry.
I'm very much on a global stage, working out of Africa and Europe and Middle East.
I know how this global effect of net zero's work.
And just to finish on that is, people do talk about net zero overseas, but nobody does anything about it because they've got gas, they got coal, they got nuclear power.
Anyone who says that about climate change and does not mention nuclear power in it, they're like they're fibbing.
And all we're doing for this whole net zero thing is we're making millionaires multimillionaires.
We're making billionaires multi billionaires and that's all we're doing.
The Australian public, the poor people of Australia, the ordinary citizen out there, through their taxes, is paying for all this, all this mess and this is a massive problem.
So what we've got to do, what the Liberals have got to do is actually they have got to drop the issue of net zero because the fight is not going to finish if they don't do that.
As Bronwan said, it's going to continue and continue and continue, and it's deaf by a thousand cuts.
And when you're you know, when you're having a communistic approach, like we want to fix thing, so we have a meeting and then another meeting and then another meeting, all you do is if you're trying to design a Horsey, end up with a camera and they're going to be so they the people, the people within the party are hungry for us to take it up to the Labor government and they're starving for it.
But they're being let down by the leadership, let down by this and the leadership needs to get the cubsle out and two seconds.
Speaker 11I think what we've seen is that there is an understanding in Australia growing that we cannot go on the way we are.
We see that coming out that more and more people say, Paul stop, let's have a mixture of sources.
Speaker 1You heard it from the rock stars there, Bronwin and Warren Abandon net zero.
Thanks so much for coming on.
And now it's time for a little thing we like to call the world's gone mad.
Yes, it truly is a world gone mad and crazy, where what was once the fabled home of honest and trustworthy news, namely this has now become so politically corrupted, so culturally debased, so infiltrated and infested, that the once famous BBC now stands accused not of reporting the news, but of doctoring the news.
Yes, the BBC has now been revealed doctor footage of Donald Trump's speech on January sixth, twenty twenty one, to make it look as if he was encouraging violence.
Here is the footage.
The BBC ran, We're.
Speaker 13Gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you and we fight, We fight like hell.
Speaker 1But in fact that footage was a fraudulent edit, taking separate comments from about fifty minutes apart and splicing them together, which is unforgivable from a journalistic and ethical point of view.
This is what Donald Trump actually said.
We're gonna walk down to the Capitol.
Speaker 13And we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.
Speaker 1Fortunately, Donald Trump pays about as much attention to the BBC as he did to Tim Waltz.
But meanwhile, I just had to laugh at this Trump impersonator Elon Gold.
Speaker 14I am not comparing God to Trump.
Speaker 1He would, you know.
I think God, he's doing very well.
He's doing very well.
But I think I'm doing better than him.
Speaker 9Let's be honest.
Speaker 15I think I'm.
Speaker 2Doing so much better than him.
Speaker 16He's not doing as well.
Speaker 1As I'm doing.
Speaker 9He's not He's not doing as well, you know.
Speaker 1Even at the beginning.
Speaker 2To look at the beginning, and.
Speaker 16God he created the earth in six days by.
Speaker 1The way I would have done it for I do it in for a fewer.
Gold indeed almost as funny as this unintentional comedian this week's TDS Trump Derangement Syndrome victim of the week.
So wacky is this that one has to wonder is it satire?
Speaker 4Okay, quick question, is it rude to put on your wedding registry when people are rsvping have you ever voted for Donald Trump in an election?
Speaker 17And if they vote or say yes, they automatically get booted, Like is that rude?
Speaker 12Is that not appropriate?
Speaker 7Just trying to figure out who we actually wanted our gay wedding in May?
Speaker 1Speaking of things so ridiculous they could be satire, it's hard to go past this appalling behind on the part of Justin Trudeau's new girlfriend, Yes, the internationally acclaimed astronaut and rather awkward and ungainly pop star Katie Perry, who decided to completely trash the amazing birthday cake that a fan's mum had spent hours making her for her birthday.
I guess it's the elitist version of let them eat cake on the floor.
Speaking of alitists, everybody's favorite oppressed former First Lady was at it again the other day, complaining about how racist hair can be.
Speaker 17Here as women of color.
That the way our hair naturally grows out of our heads beautiful, but if we struggle to make it look like the standard, that means we are spending thousands of hours and lots of money straightening out what is naturally curly hair, right, and that takes time out of your life.
It costs money.
Speaker 1Hang on, remember this.
So, if non African American women putting in braids is cultural appropriation, isn't Michelle getting her hair straightened also cultural appropriation?
I forgot the world of woke only ever works in one direction.
Silly me, mind you.
While Michelle's off getting a hair culturally appropriated her hobby, Barrack has been off designing a new library for himself.
Yes, the Barack Obama Presidential Library sounds grand and this is how it looks.
My god, what an absolute brutalist monstrosity that has culturally appropriated all the finesse, grandeur and artistic inspiration of a Soviet residential housing bloc circa nineteen fifty in downtown VORAZDNYA.
Meanwhile, whether culturally appropriate or otherwise, Kamala Harris's highly fashionable stepdaughter this week gave spontaneous and unrehearsed encounters a whole new meaning.
Oh my god, are you la?
M huh yeah?
What song are you listening to right now?
Well?
I'm wearing a Tory birch top, a Tory birch skirt.
Speaker 16Tory Birch shield loafers and obviously the Tory Birch cure bag.
Speaker 1Thanks, I have a good one.
Weat one, hey Ella, that was pretty good.
But let's try another take.
Maybe slow it down a little and point to the shoe a little bit more, okay?
Sure.
Meanwhile, the world had certainly gone mad here in Australia when this woman decided to go on an angry trade against the Australians who have welcomed her to this country to do her studies.
Speaker 12I'm an intern Apple students and ever since I've lived in Australia, I've.
Speaker 1W two things of firs.
Speaker 3Everywhere in Australia society look down the streets of rape for at any given day, and.
Speaker 6I've been cps for having black and brow people for Nora.
Speaker 16Of the major parties in this country, racism it.
Speaker 12Second thing.
Speaker 9They are brute.
Speaker 1You're the way to push.
Speaker 8Back against these racists.
Speaker 12The meds the last needs to count for them.
Speaker 3You know, racism and thought, bigotry, your products of a six.
Speaker 12Power Just.
Speaker 3I want.
Speaker 5That's actually worked for men?
Speaker 1Racism bigotry.
There here's another charming lady I believe, who has a problem.
It would appear with white Australian women.
Speaker 8Australian white women don't see themselves as white, believe it or not.
For a long time, they see themselves as Australian.
When I used to discuss white women on my Instagram on learning shit, they were fine with it.
But the moment I started calling out Australian white women, it was flagged as hate speech.
Speaker 9Oh really.
Speaker 1Meanwhile, in the UK, now the woke capital of the world, poor ol Ricky Gervais has had his ad campaign ban from the London Underground.
The London Underground the Tube is famous for its cross track posters, which you can only ever see while you're waiting for a train, so these ads for Dutch bind vodka clearly are politically incorrect, an anti woke brand, say things like welcome to London, don't forget your stab vest.
Once upon a time these ads would have won every award in town for their irreverence and their wit.
But nowadays the work police have had their way, not because the ads are offensive to anyone or painted dishonest picture of the brand, but rather for telling the truth that.
Speaker 10Was meant for the Tube station.
Just add me having a drink and it just said one day you'll be underground for good.
Speaker 1That was it.
Speaker 10They went, no, can't have that because it might make people think, oh, because life's sure, we should drink to excess.
Speaker 1Thinking that.
Speaker 10You think it's my attitude.
Oh, but you can't win because well you're not allowed to say alcohol is good for you, or it does this, or it makes you feel confident, or it makes you feel attractive, which is fine.
I went the other way.
There was one advert I was reading from my laptop from government websites, just saying about all the dangers of alcohol.
They went, no, we don't like We don't like that.
Do you know why, because they don't like the truth.
Speaker 1Either, Love Ricky.
Meanwhile, also in Britain, from means, the Sakir Stana has decided to help two young chaps make cleaning fun again.
Speaker 17We run a commercial cleaning company and we realized there was a lot of negative stigma towards cleaning.
Speaker 1And then John and I didn't like that.
Speaker 9Was like, how can we change it?
Speaker 1How can we make it fun?
How could make it entertaining?
And we said we're two, we're not boring people.
Speaker 9We're very fun.
Speaker 16We've got energy for days.
So we said why can't we make cleaning fun?
And that's exactly what.
Speaker 1What can you say, Adelena?
Truly is the world gone mad and crazy?
But hopefully it's now a cleaner one coming up after the break.
A year on from Trump's win, the left are still in denial.
George Clooney says replacing Biden with the Kamala was a mistake in a tick.
Well, Donald Trump has reacted to the election of Zorn Mandani to New York City mayor.
Have a listen.
Speaker 13For a thousand years, communism has not worked.
To just communism or the concept of communism, has that worked.
I tend to doubt it's going to work this time.
Speaker 9Did you see his victory speech, so it's literally never worked.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 13I thought it was a very angry speech, certainly angry toward me, and I think he should be very nice to me.
You know, I'm the one that sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him.
Speaker 1So he's off to a bad start.
And here was Mandani speaking about and slamming Donald Trump.
Speaker 2I think the lesson for the president is that it's not enough to diagnose the crisis in working class Americans' lives.
You have to deliver on addressing that crisis.
What scares Republicans across the country is the fact that we will actually deliver on this agenda, and the contrast is something that they cannot bear to witness.
Speaker 1The capitalists versus the communists.
To joining me now from Tucson, Arizona is political commentator Stephanie hammil Stephanie, great to see you, Thanks for coming on board.
What's your reaction to the communist in New York versus the capitalist in the White House?
Speaker 3Well, I think President Trump nailed it, hit the nail right on the head when he was talking about Mandami, which is socialism and communism doesn't work.
It's never worked.
If you pick up any history book, it will tell you so.
And unfortunately, so many young people don't really understand the horrors of socialism and communism, which is why I think they supported him in such great numbers.
I think about my own education history.
I actually didn't learn about socialism until I was out of college.
Speaker 5It is a crazy thing.
Speaker 3To think, and so that's why I think so many young people are really dismissive, dismissive of it.
Speaker 1And I would like to see.
Speaker 3Mondami's programs work like that's awesome, free train rides, free childcare, free this, free that, But unfortunately somebody is going to have to pay for it at some time, and eventually they're going to run out of people's money.
They are going to scare all of the wealthy people who pay the taxes out of New York.
Why would they stay there when they're going to get taxed out of oblivion.
So they're going to have to move on.
And so it is really concerning where the left is going, that they've gone so far to the left that they would elect somebody like him.
But to be fair, the Democrats in New York really had some terrible candidates to choose from.
Speaker 1Well, Stephanie, I love your observation that you didn't learn about socialism until you'd left college or university.
As we say.
Meanwhile, in the latest sign that the Democrats still haven't got over Donald Trump's victory last year a year a guy, this week, George Clooney has declared it was a mistake now for Biden to be replaced by Kamala Harris.
Have a listen, we had a chance.
Speaker 18I wanted there to be, as I wrote in a p ed a primary let's battle test this quickly and get it up and going.
I think the mistake, with it being commonly is that she had to run against her own record, and it's very hard to do.
If the point of running is to say I'm not that person, you know, it's hard to do, and so she was given a very tough task.
I think it was a mistake, quite honest.
Speaker 1Seriously, Joe Biden should have run against Trump.
Are we joking?
Well?
Speaker 3This is just so hilariously bad in so many ways.
Think about it.
It was George Clooney who helped with the downfall of Joe Biden.
That is, he penned this scathing article about this fundraiser that he threw for Biden, where he admitted what all of the Republicans and Conservatives and honest people were saying about Biden, which is we were really concerned about his mental acuity and that we had seen his health on the decline for many years.
And so he actually confirmed it when he said that Biden didn't even recognize him at the fundraiser that he threw for Biden.
And keep in mind, he'd known the Bidens for many, many, many years.
So it is rather interesting that again he's rearing his ugly head here to speak about the election.
He recently just admitted that he left Hollywood, left California, and moved his whole family young kids, to a farm in France because he doesn't want them to live that California lifestyle.
And he wasn't really giving a lot of details as to why, but I would think it would probably have something to do with all of the policies that he's been openly promoting and rooting for that he is running away from.
Speaker 1That's hilarious and someone I do missus Kareem Jean Pierre KJP only for the entertainment value, but anyway, she's come out and more.
Another example of lefty denihialism will Biden's White House press secretor who remember?
But now she cannot recall a single instance of Joe Biden freezing or appearing confused.
Take a look.
There were instances where videos were circulated of President Biden appearing confused or freezing for a moment that were real correct that I were called Stephanie.
Her memory seems to have gone.
What do you think, really, KJB?
Speaker 3You can't think of one video that you've seen where maybe you were a little bit concerned I mean, the dishonesty is just so glaring and so in our faces.
And it's kind of odd because you know, she's declared herself to be an independent, and she's running around promoting a book by the way, letting everyone know that she's a queer black woman in case you weren't sure, so therefore you can't criticize her by the way.
Speaker 1But yeah, you would think it would be a good.
Speaker 3Time to do a little self reflection and be honest about what happened during the Biden president and this would be a good time to come clean.
But the fact that with a straight face, she still pretends that everything was fine with Biden when it obviously wasn't, it's pretty egregious.
Speaker 1Thank you so much, Stephanie Hamil for joining us.
And I've got a picture mental picture of all those college students scratching their head.
Socialism.
What socialism?
And thank you Stephanie Hammel for joining us.
We'll chat again soon.
And now it's time for my weekly look at the insane world of climate doomdaism.
Whether or not, Yes, Australian taxpayers must ask themselves whether or not this gala Energy and Climate changement is to Bobo Bowen has the faintest idea what he is doing.
As we learn that quote Rio owned Tomogo starts talks with staff on closing new South Wales smelter in twenty twenty eight.
It was only a year or so ago that Bobo and his boss Albozo were confidently declaring that Tomogo the flagship of their future made in Australia.
Face now, according to The Australian, more than a thousand workers who could soon be out of a job because of high East Coast energy prices.
The smelter has an unviable future prospect.
What do you do?
On top of which, Bobo's ridiculous idea to offer quote free daytime electricity is already being slammed as likely to raise power prices.
Meanwhile, speaking of climate clowns, it is of course COP thirty next week.
That's when all the lovees head off.
Speaker 19To solve the world's clime at crisis.
Speaker 1But how on earth do they all get there?
Speaker 16What is the best way to get to a climate change conference?
A private jet can save you hours of waiting in line and traveling at substandard airline speeds.
There is no thing more relaxing that being the only person on the entire plane, so you can arrive rested and ready to explain to the little people how their minivans and gas stoves are ruining the earth.
Speaker 1Indeed, who can forget this bloke Joe Biden's Climate Zar, the insufferable John Kerry.
He was the bloke on the private jets who also had reportedly many houses, cars, yachts and of course his own private jet.
There you go, keeping up the elitist tradition and contravening the expectation of political neutrality.
We saw both King Charles and Prince William at the countdown to COP thirty events at London's Natural History Museum three weeks back.
The Prince did take a commercial flight to Brazil, well done, where he'll be hosting the Earth Shot Prize in Rio Dijenira.
Also flying into COP thirty is the appalling Lord Mayor of London, Saddey Khan, who will arrive along with some wait for it, four hundred and seventy UK delegates according to Talk TV, where Sadi Khan was quick to smother himself in climateself sanctimony at the Sea forty World Mayor Summit in Brazil, our task.
Speaker 20Will be tough, should be.
But if we stay united, if we stay relentless, but if we work hard every single day, we too will feel that joy novin.
We did our job for few generations and for our planet.
Speaker 19Hmmm.
Speaker 1Sadai Khan can't even keep the streets of London clean, but he thinks he can clean up Mother Earth.
And he certainly can't keep Londoner's safe, but he thinks he can save the entire planet.
What a fast?
Oh, and did I mention the staggering hypocrisy.
In March, the BBC reported how thousands of acres of Amazon rainforest have been deforested and cleared to build a new four lane eight mile highway so that perhaps more than fifty thousand delegates who are attending COP thirty Climate conference to save the planet can get there in comfort in their limos.
What a joke.
Someone who probably won't be getting the red carpet treatment at COP thirty is Bill Gates, who quote this week backtracked on climate change and sent eco fanatics into meltdown by saying that climate change will not lead to humanity's demise.
According to the UK Telegraph, Gates argued that the doomsday view in which.
Speaker 19Cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization was fortunately wrong.
Speaker 1You could have knocked me over with a COVID mask.
Parts of what Gates is now saying, well, to be honest, sounds very close to what I've been saying for over a decade.
Speaker 15The middle position that climate is super important but has to be considered in terms of overall human welfare.
I didn't pick that position because it's a you know, everybody agrees with it.
It's I think, intellectually the right answer.
Speaker 1Of course, try talk in common sense to the likes of activist.
Speaker 21Groups like Climate two hundred, who continue to push their doomsday alarmist agender out of the mouths of babes or in this case, out of the mouth of a young eighteen year old Australian girl.
Speaker 4Mostly this might be the coalition's only shot of state relegans opposition lead of Susan Lee playing yes me an eighteen year old who has a lot about the climate, and Susan Lee the person who'll be deciding the coalition of climatogets right now, climate deniers like Barnaby Joyce and Matt cannib running the show, and a gel people like me who will pay the pruts.
This is our chance to change that and we'll handle with the first simple requests.
The deniers listen to science and it's with seventy five percent emission production targon.
Speaker 1What can you say?
Which takes us, of course to the big news this week, the Nationals have decided to ditch net zero.
Nationals leader David little Proud explained that quote, all Australians are experiencing the cost and pain of Anthony Albanesi's attempt to achieve net zero despite being mission impossible.
Hmm, that sounds familiar.
We are feeling the impact of this pipeline dream through our wallets, said David little Proud.
Labour said net zero would lead to cheaper energy bills, but the opposite has occurred.
We will do our fair share to reduce global emissions, but not more than the rest of the world.
End of quote.
Great decision, Well done to the Nats, Well done to Little Out and the entire team there.
Next it's the Liberals turn.
Maybe we'll even get a new slogan for the next selection, you know, like dump net zero or stop the scam, although I was thinking of something a little catchier along the lines of Climate Schmimatts after the break.
Speaker 19Fifty years since the historic dismissal of GoF Whitlam.
Speaker 1Was it a moment to celebrate or lament John Kerr?
Was he a villain or an Aussie hero?
Professor David Flint joins us next, Well, on Tuesday, it's gonna be fifty years to the day since this moment came to pass.
Speaker 14Well, may we say God save the Queen?
Speaker 17Well, cause nothing we'll say with the Governor General.
Speaker 1The fiftieth anniversary Sky News Australia were premiere and exclusive one hour documentary The Dismissal Fifty Years On, presented by Sky News political contributor Chris Allman on Tuesday, you do not want to miss that.
I remember the day very well.
I was at school just down the road from Parliament House in Canberra.
My reflections are this, Whitlam was Australia's worst ever Prime Minister and the dismissal was not only justified, but should be celebrated as a great moment in Australian history.
Joining us now as Professor David Flint, convener of Australians for Constitutional Monarchy and a weekly columnist with the Spectator Australia, David, great to see you.
The legacy of Whitlam, to me is an absolute trail of destruction to the Australian way of life.
Am I being unfair, David?
Speaker 9Well, before I say that, let me move fair to go off.
Whitlam.
He was charismatic.
He was impressive.
I remember seeing him as an ambassad that are coming into the garden of the French bar in Paris, and a woman just looking at him and saying, almost breathtaking, ki a set on.
He was magnificent in appearance and style, and he could be very amusing and witty and theatrical.
I remember on one occasion at a dinner party when somebody bumped their glass with their fork and Missus Whitlam said, for heaven's sake, don't do that.
Goff will only stand up and make a speech.
So he was much more fun than Malcolm Fraser ever was whoever could be.
But you're so right.
He thought quite often that he was infallible, even if he changed his mind violently, as he did just before the dismissal about what a Prime Minister should do when suppliers refused.
But he thought he was infallible and he was very difficult.
After that.
He opted ideas which were of the extreme left.
And you've enumerated them.
All of the great problems of Australia which have been with us over the last fifty years, many of them started with Gough.
He brought them in.
But just getting back to the dismissal, can I just mention this for years from nineteen fifty one, as soon as he got into Parliament down to the time he was having problems when he was Prime minister.
He strongly believed that if the Labor Party were able to block a money bill of the governments in the Senate and withhold supply, then there was an obligation on the Prime Minister to resign and ask the Governor General for an election.
This is a strong obligation.
He believed that so strongly he had Lionel Murphy table a list of one hundred and sixty nine occasions when Labor had tried and he said, on all those occasions, had we succeeded, the government had to step down.
But then when it happened twice to him, when the coalition did it twice to him on the first occasion, he did what he said should be done, he immediately recommended an election.
He did that in nineteen seventy three.
The second time he knew he was going to lose, he changed everything.
He set I'm going to smash the Senate.
I will not resign, and then he worked out ways to stay in power, to borrow money from the banks.
No banks would be in it.
Eventually he came up to the Governor General.
He was going to suggest a half Senate election.
But the senators that would come in, which would relieve his problem in the Senate if he got the numbers, wouldn't have sat for another seven months.
So he insisted on these ridiculous ideas.
But he also insisted that he changed his view.
Everybody should change with him, and Sir John Kerr did his duty.
One of the ridiculous things that they say about John COEs or he should have warned mister Whitlam.
Bill Hayden warned mister Whitlam.
Bill Hayden said, speaking with my old Copper's background, I think he's getting to sack us.
And golfs answer was, oh, no, that would be wrong, he couldn't do that, or that he has no power to do that.
Golfs answer was he wouldn't.
Dare he thought that Sir John Kerr was not a courageous man and he wouldn't.
Speaker 1David, I've just got a quick sneak preview from tuesday's documentary.
This is John Forulkney.
You might remember him, longtime labor politician, now chair of the Whitlam Institute, with his.
Speaker 20View very lease in that meeting with Kerr and Whitlam.
Speaker 21Do you think that Kerr should have said, I am warning you that I am considering to.
Speaker 14Of course he should have warned bit counsel and take the proper role of governor general, which is too if necessary, work your way through the political crisis that we had in Australia at the time, and leave it to the politicians to sort things out.
He deceived Whitlam.
Speaker 22He in fact, was utterly treacherous and improper and dishonest in the way he conducted himself.
Speaker 1So David, quickly your thoughts on.
Speaker 9That Whitlam knew exactly what was happening.
Kur did to and Kerr decided that he would act.
He had the courage to act, which was Whitlam never thought he had.
Speaker 1Professor David Flann so great to chat to you with that view on the dismissal thank you so much for coming on the world.
According to Rowandan Well is wokeness nearing its end.
The Christmas Ad gives me hope that it may be I'll show you in a tick.
And finally, I'm delighted to announce that in Britain, at least, the world of wokeness is finally on its knees, gasping its last perfume scented breath.
How do I know because the world of advertising, a world I worked in for many years, and a world which rarely sets trends but always follows them, has given us the nod.
You can be white, you can be heterosexual, you can be in an ordinary Anglo Saxon family, and you can star in the most famous advert of the year, the traditional John Lewis Christmas Ad.
This year's ad is utterly unique and breathtaking, not because of what it says, but because of what it doesn't say.
It's a pretty simple message about the power of communicating with your loved ones via a meaningful and personal Christmas gift.
It's an uncomplicated story about a teenage boy struggling to show his love for his dad and a present that was almost missed under the Christmas tree.
Speaker 23A cut down sense, but don't you take mine?
Speaker 1Come?
Speaker 23Did we love?
Speaker 1No virtue signaling, no climate garbage, no gender idiocy, no mandatory diversity, no inclusion nonsense, just an everyday family with everyday emotions.
So well done to John Lewis, and goodbye to the insufferable world of woke advertising and leftist moralizing.
Please don't come back.
You won't be missed.
That's it for me.
Stay tuned now James Morrow with the US Report, and I'll see you Sunday morning at nine am on Outsiders.
Good Night,
