This is Outsiders.

Good morning, and welcome to Outsiders, the show that is to hypocritical politicians and political humbug, what the Prime Minister of Australia is to telling the truth.

There are four more times you'll never hear from me.

That's not my job.

I'll never say.

If I get the job, I'll do the job each and every day.

I haven't changed the rule.

I haven't changed the rule.

I'm not the Finance Minister.

I haven't changed the rule.

Yes, that was Prime Minister or candidate Anthony Albanezi before he was elected, vowing that as Prime Minister he would always take responsibility of any sort of government stuff.

Ups, followed by, of course, Prime Minister of the Alban Easy this week, yet again refusing to take any responsibility.

Guess what yet another government stuff up?

And yes, this is the last Outsiders of twenty twenty five.

We've got a huge show coming up, plenty to discuss and chat about, including the slow motion train wreck that is the alban Eazy government.

Matt Canavan will be joining us plus John Heinderreka from the States and Meyron Central Nathan from Britain.

Buckle in for the ride and.

Let's get straight in to the latest outside of news, well reader and James, this expenses scandal is going to plague the government, the Prime Minister over the entire summer.

This is the classic barbecue conversation that every Christmas picnic, every Christmas barbecue.

It's the easy one to have.

What do you think about the politicians?

What do you think about this?

This parliamentarium went on this trip, took their kids on that trip, at this dinner.

It's made for the barbecue stopper, isn't it.

Well, it's one where politicians from all sides look terribly entitled, look terribly dodgy really, because the rules that they play with are different to the rules the rest of the workforce plays with.

Essentially, of course, it's hard to be away from your family.

It's difficult to be working long hours, working weekends, but so do millions of other Australians, and they don't have the taxpayer funding their kids joining them on ski holidays, or their husband going to three consecutive AFL Grand Finals and getting to take selfies with players.

So the sense of entitlement.

The lack of return for the tax payer for this large s is something that sticks out and the problem.

The only problem here is that the Libs are weak on this.

The Libs don't want to take on labor because they're also exposed in certain areas when it comes to these entitlements.

James, Well, look, yeah, that's absolutely right here.

And the funny thing though about all this is that you know, we are staring down the barrel of a trillion dollar deficit.

It's going to tick over to that figure any day now.

But this is just absolutely emblematic of the way this government simply does not care about your money.

Everything that they're doing there is on the national credit card, which means we all have to pay for it.

I mean, Rita, You're absolutely correct.

There's no other job in the private sector, certainly where if you've got to travel a lot.

I don't care whether it's a global CEO or you're a long distance trucker where where your employer is flying your kids out to meet you someplace, you know, for a holiday in Bali or you know a grand file or you know, gosh knows where this is just you know, it is an epic taking the you know what here, That's the first thing here.

But there's more to that than this.

This is also really a government that has and it's really funny.

They've got this huge mandate, So what are they doing with the mandate.

Well, they're not acting like, you know, we're going to do some really major reform and change to the country.

No, they've believed their own press that they've got three or four terms of government.

And guess what they're acting.

They're acting like they are deep in that third or fourth term of government.

When you know, politicians of all stripes, you know, we've seen it with long running governments, they all start acting like they're just going to pick up anything that's not nailed down and shoved in their pockets.

And this is this is I think a really dangerous moment for this government because Hubris has always defined Anthony Albanesi.

Hubris has always been his thing and his whole usual routine which we see over and over again with the Well, it's all about process, it's all about this, and I'm, you know, leading an orderly government and I'm arms length from this.

But we had the revelation yesterday and I thought this was shocking.

In the Saturday Daily Telegraph, Charles Chadwick had this story about how Anthony Albanzi changed the rules so that they could get more.

Entitled and so on.

The one hates says, oh, well, you know this is an independent finance committee.

I don't have anything to do with it.

And yet on the other hand he is there organizing it to be the biggest free for all you can imagine.

And the point is that the public, you know, as ideal.

The departed friend Richo used to say, the mob will figure you out.

And the mob knows they can smell a wrought a mile off, and this reeks of roughtdom.

The fact that you, as James says, we had Albanezi apparently, so it's reported changing the rules only a few weeks before the election, when they knew they were going to win, and now it's oh, well, the rules are the rules.

That's disgraceful.

We've also had other stories reported in the press to do with the expenses scandal.

The people of the official who is going to be looking into it has close ties to labor and so on and so forth.

The point is the public are being increasingly hit by the results of poor economic management.

We just had Jim Chalmers on Andrew Clanell boasting that this government's He said it with a straight face, which astonished me that this government's hallmarks sound economic marriage.

Well, exactly, you ask anyone at the barbecue, anyone who's forced to pay more and more for their mortgage, forced to pay more and more for their household bills, forced to pay more and more for every single thing they buy.

Christmas has never been so expensive.

Whether we've got sound economic management here, Rita, Well, no, we.

Don't have sound economic management.

It rarely is a feature of labor governments, whether it's.

State or federal.

We know that.

And now we've got the revelations that Michelle Roland has to pay back some of these entitlements.

Now, as Andrew Colonel said earlier, that is typically a sackable offense.

It should actually come with some fairly significant consequences now, whether that's being demoted, whether that's being no longer in cabinet, losing your portfolio.

But with this government, there seems to be really no consequences for these sorts of wrongdoing.

And then to be outside of the guidelines where you have to actually pay back money, when those guidelines are so generous and.

So open to I would call abuse.

Within the guidelines, then that just tells you these labor ministers, and I'm sure many of the backbenches, the MPs who face little scrutiny are just living it up.

They are living it up on these entitlements and the scope for abuse is quite profound if you look at you know, and it goes beyond travel.

It's hiring people who you know, you could hire your relatives for roles, so you essentially got taxpayer funded staff that can be from within your own household.

Well, they did change the rules on that because there was some outrage on that a number of years ago, and that was whether you can put your spouse in an electorate office position, so that they changed the rule of they chased the rule of the parliamentary pension.

This is something else that again it doesn't meet you know, as we say, community expectations or in the vernacular, the pub test.

But it's remarkable.

It's not just labor.

We also had, of course, the revelations about Sarah Hanson Young's lobbyist husband, that is Sen Oakwist, former head of the Australia Institute, using our taxpayer money to run up his carbon emissions, going back and forth to camera between Adelaide.

I mean, that's just shocking.

Why that wasn't just a business expense for his lobbying firm, you know, having the government pay you to go to camera and to lobby the government to make our lives more expensive and restricted.

That is just unbelievable to me.

But this is also isn't it the government paying a lobbyist to lobby it.

Yeah, on behalf of clients, but acted to the government.

It's it all reeks of Banana republic stuff or communist kind of plot.

Viewer.

There's the nomenclas.

You know, there's one group of officials who the uniparty, but there's also there's one group of officials and they're linked to the lobbyists.

They're linked to, you know, their own ideal ideology has been reinforced.

The word for that.

What did Donald Trump call that the swamp.

We've got our own swamp in Canberra.

It is divorced from the rest of the country.

We know that.

We saw that with a voice referendum.

But every single state, if Northern Territory voted no emphatically.

What was the one little pocket of Australia that voted yes the act?

They are their own little.

Swamp getting fat off our taxes, giving us very little in return.

There really is, I think going to be.

If we didn't have this uniparty vibe happening in Australia, I think you would see a real reckoning happening there where you look at this bureaucracy that just keeps to grow and grow and grow, and what benefit are they giving us?

What benefit was there for the taxpayer that's funding this largess.

Well exactly ed.

You know, the timing of this couldn't be worse.

Just as Chalmer's Jim Chalmer's a treasurer pulls back the three hundred dollars energy rebates, you know, So there they go, making your power bill more expensive.

Then they try and give you some money, but that's too much to keep doing that.

But they can keep flying around their family, their kids, their adult kids.

We saw it at least one case for family reunification.

Business class, business class, come on, unbelievable.

Let's talk briefly about the under sixteen social media band.

So that's kicked in.

There are people who love it, there are people who hate it.

The kids seem to be quite happily whizzing around in the middle there, having the time of their lives.

This was supposed to be the great legacy of Anthony Albanisi.

We shall see.

But some of the kids aren't all that thrilled.

There was one girl who actually sat and told the prime Is that she did not like it because the kids would just get their way around it, and he sat.

There kind of threatening her gaslighting.

What was that all about.

Let's have a look, reader.

It's a bad idea because we're going to find ulternates anyways.

Yeah, well that'll get found out.

Too threatening some little kid.

We're gonna get you.

We're gonna find a way around it.

That's the most simiouster thing I think I've ever seen.

Well, and he's wrong.

Let me tell you.

Those kids will outsmart these policies every single time.

And I've got to say I'm not particularly sorry that they are, because I think these are fundamentally flawed, no matter how well intentioned they may be.

And I know there's a lot of people who think this will protect children from online harm, will protect them from being bullied on social media.

I'm sorry, but that's a very naive.

You have to get with the real world.

It's not going to do any of that, and it's got all sorts of sinister consequences.

Now you can argue whether those consequences are intentional or unintended.

I genuinely don't care, because those consequences are real and they impact everybody.

But on a fairly basic level, these policies are unworkable, and that little girl pretty much explained it there.

The kids will be on VPNs, they will find alternate sites that will get around this, but it will have all sorts of other impact.

James that I think these Safety Commission, you know, it's quite happy to.

See, oh, absolutely, one hundred percent, and you know, just to the parenting thing too.

This is ultimately and we can all agree.

I agree that social media for under sixteens is a bad idea.

I don't think kid should have smartphones, but I also make the distinction of saying, you know, I think that really first and foremost, this is a job for parents.

And every every time you have one of these conferences, one of these issues where parents get backed up by the government, the government then winds up stepping in more and more for the role of parents.

So along with what I think you're talking about RITA, which is the sort of you know, implications for digital freedom, and just the coincidental way in which this has come into effect, just as rules in Europe have come into effect around social media.

And things like this.

You know, I've spoken on this program about coordinated efforts to undermine First Amendment protections in the United States, where you know so much Emanate's from.

But there's also this sort of idea that the government is your co parent, and I think that that's something that really really needs to be resistant because the more the government steps in, it's with anything else, you know, in the economy, in the marketplace, anywhere else, it makes that market whatever it is, more brittle, and it makes it we and it makes the government stronger.

And I don't think we should be encouraging the government to be another party.

You know, ALBINIZI seeing there at the dinner table with us having those conversations.

Well, it was Jillian Triggs who wanted to yes, silence what we said at the dinner table.

But what you say is absolutely true, James and have listened to Julian Manngrant, the e Safety Commissioner.

They almost as as Albo did in that previous clip.

They seem to be relishing the power that this gives them and the fact that they intend to use this power to constantly interfere going forward.

They don't see this as our that was it done in dust to December tenth, right, We're.

All it's all sweet.

They see this as an ongoing war almost against the kids.

Now, what could possibly go wrong?

But have a listen to Julian Mangrant, the e Safety Commissioner.

These isolated cases are teenage creativity, circumvention, spoofing, and other engenie as ways.

People will evitably push boundaries, will continue to fill newspaper pages, but we won't be detured.

We are playing the long game.

He will not be deterred.

Okay, good luck with the war against the kids labor that will be voting in a few years.

By the way, I'm sorry one more point on that though, you know, and I think I may have said this last week, but again, this is one of those areas where the liberals really could have stood up.

You know.

They keep saying, oh, we've got a problem with young people.

Young people don't like us, they think we're a bunch of old funny duddies.

Here was a golden opportunity.

To say, hey, we actually you know, trust you to use your own social media and not you know, play big daddy government.

But of course here we are I know, I know read.

As much as Anthony ALBERNIZI wants this to be his legacy item world first policy, this was a Peter Darton policy.

So let's not memory hold the fact that this was Peter Darton's terrible idea that was embraced by labor at implemented.

So they can't even say we own this, and I think that's what's compromised the Liberals coalition from really tackling it, because they're guilty as well.

Well, let's talk about the Libs.

So immigration is the big debate, and yet again the bedwetters, the so called moderates, are determined to destroy the Liberal Party.

That seems to be the chief goal.

They tried on that zero they failed, now they're trying on immigration.

The simple reality is that the Liberal Party must have a strong anti immigration, anti mass immigration, use whatever words you want, policy or they cannot possibly win the next election.

That's the truth.

The moderates want to water it down.

The moderates are bedwetters.

They will destroy the Liberal Party.

But let's talk about the fact that here we have yet again Susan Lee's having to sit back and they'll fight it all out and they'll land at a policy.

But if it is not a it can't be.

A repeat to the Dutton policy which was pathetic, no one understood it, or going to reduce x amount percentage blah blah blah.

It has to be a firm, values based We need an immigration policy that is values based, where people coming to Australia are people that Australians want to come to Australia.

It's pretty simple, James, Well.

Yeah, and you know, we've had two trial balloons floated this week, which I think should really make people very nervous.

When we had this story about how the Liberals would do something to finally crack down on the more than one hundred thousand people here who have overstayed their visa.

They've exhausted every avenue appeal, they're still here.

They are here technically illegally, they are illegal migrants, but apparently we can't deport them.

So what do you talk about that They've all said, Oh, well, we're going to try and cut the refugee intake.

Don't fall for this, don't fall for this.

Both of these stories are about distracting from the main game, which is the headline number, which is dominated by family unifications, bridging visas university students.

And we know how powerful the tertiary education lobby is.

There's so much of the education industry and you turn it into an industry instead of you know, a forum for learning that is now just basically a glorified migration agency, you know, with a lot of these dodgy training colleges and you know have been uncovered.

And yet at the same time you've got people like Senator Andrew McLaughlin, who I think is a weekly contender for Wally of the Week on this program, saying and I love this.

This week he said that, well, you know, our coalition immigration policy needs.

To be about love and economics.

I mean, like seriously, so okay, economics fine, but love, not love Australians, but love for the people who are coming in.

This is all obviating the serious question about bringing in people.

And I'm talking about this later in the program.

By the way, Donald Trump has moved the needle on this where you can finally say, hey, maybe we need to talk about whether every culture can just kind of come and magically become liberal Australian value holders and it.

Goes beyond that, and in the US they're having the debate.

I think in Europe they're having the debate increasingly, and this acknowledgment that not all cultures are equal.

We know that, but it goes beyond that.

It's not just the ability to simulate, it's the ability to contribute.

And to be.

Net lifters not leaners, because every time someone comes into the country, you have to make that assessment of whether they're going to be contributing taxes and contribute going to be a net gain economically or are they going to be a drain economically, And we're going to have to be able to talk about that without people like these bedwetters losing their tiny minds screaming that this is race or it's a dog whistle.

People within the Liberal Party who don't even want to connect mass migration with the housing crisis.

They are upset about that link being made.

If you don't understand that.

Link, then you should be not anywhere near Parliament House, because it's a fairly basic link.

More people come in, they need to live somewhere, so it adds to the housing crisis.

If you're too scared to make that obvious point, then what business do you have being in the coalition?

Well, Rita, it's worse than that.

They actually, the moderates, they don't even want to use the term mass migration.

I mean, we are in a situation now where more than a third of this country is from overseas.

I'm one of them.

That's fine, but it doesn't mean that you just have open slather migration forever.

And of course, you know, the whole thing turns into this thing it started under Malcolm Frasier and Guff Whitlam where the government then starts to give your tax dollars to community migration groups and then those groups said lobby for more and more migration.

So it's just, you know, it's again this constant churn and ordinary Australians feel like they don't have any say in the matter.

And that's where we are now.

And say in the matter, because there is a coordinated response anytime someone speaks up, and we saw that with Senators Enterprise who made some fairly obvious comments about the voting patterns of a particular group, comments that were repeating essentially data from a labor polster who made the same comments.

But when he said it, it was fine.

When she said it, it was suddenly racist and it was not inclusive and it was going to alien at an entire community.

And the absolutely shrill, hysterical.

Response to Senator Price told them it gave a message to every Australian that you can't talk about these issues.

You have to tiptoe around it, you have to tread on eggshells.

You can't even speak obvious truths without.

People coming down on you.

And the people who came down hardest on just Enterprise or her own party and her own leader exactly.

And the reality is, sorry, there's two things about immigration.

They should be the only two things they ever discussed.

The first is assimilation, the A word or the I word integration.

That was government policy was literally the government policy of Australia up until GoF Whitlam.

The idea that we would bring.

Anyone from around the world on the provisor that they were determined to assimilate.

There were assimilation programs in place.

Migrants were sent to different areas where their skill sets were needed, where where they would integrate, whereere they'd be capable of becoming true blue, fair income Aussies.

That was the idea.

The new Australian and the new Australian was someone from somewhere around the world who came here to be an Australian and everything that that entitled.

That's why you have migrant communities such as Greek, Jewish, Italian communities, Vietnamese communities who came here and realized what a great country, this is, what a great culture this is.

I'm so proud to be part of it.

I'm in, Let me in and I'm part of it.

That was destroyed by the Whitlam government who went on multiculturalism.

You know, we're all going to have whatever we want and blah blah blah.

That destroyed the harmony and has led to all the problems we now have.

And the Coalition now needs to get back to that original Menzies idea we want to bring people from all around the world.

We're bringing them to be new Australians.

Well, you know, it's really interesting that we were just saying about social media, because of course social media and the Internet is one of the things that mitigates against people coming and becoming New Australians, you know, the historic thing as well as the United States too, until they change their own immigration policies with the nineteen sixty five Immigration Act was that you came and you left your identity behind and you wanted to become a new Australian, new American, whatever the country was.

But here's the other thing too.

When we say, oh, you keep your old community, your old practices, you maybe live in an electorate now that is dominated by this particular group, wherever that group is, we're also cheating ourselves as Australians because that post war generation of migrants, you know, they brought a huge amount of dynamism and objection of cultural capital into the country.

It was really good.

It helped invigorate the country because they said we're all in.

But if you're only one foot in or one toe in, we're not actually getting the vigor and the dynamism of new populations, new ideas that we can then bring in and mold into the Australian identity.

Absolutely, and then we've got the reverse side of the coin, which is, of course this idiocy that is going on around Indigenous.

Affairs in Australia.

We've got the Victorian Parliament ignoring the people of Victoria and coming out with a sorry sorry to Indigenous Australians from the Victorian premiere.

We've also had the utter ridiculous stupidity of Jess Wilson, the new leader.

Have a look at this photo.

I could not believe it.

We're going to put it up on the screen.

This is the new Liberal leader of Victoria and here she is inhaling smoke into her lungs.

I thought we weren't allowed to do that.

I thought that was bad.

I thought that led to Hanster.

But anyway, no, here is Jess Phillips and someone else.

I'm not sure who it.

Is, happily inhaling smoke, breathing in the smoke.

This is smoke from gum leaves and bark.

That they that they are taking into their lungs.

Are you morons?

Are you absolute mora?

What are you doing If this is some kind of symbolism, some significance of your respect for Indigenous and strengths, I'm sure sorry.

If you want to show respect for Indigenous Australians, give.

Them jobs, give them their own land, give them the.

Ability to buy their own property in these cultural deserts out in remote and rural Australia.

Give them the ability to be themselves.

If you respect Indigenoustralians don't breathe in smoke with a cameraman in front of you, idiots.

Well it's not just idiocy, excuse me, it's incoherence when it comes to Jess Wilson, because the Liberals the coalition said we are not on board with this later sorry, and we've had multiple sorries, not just nationally but in the Victorian Parliament.

So on the one hand, we're not on.

Board with this apology, but yet we're going to participate in this sort of I mean to have Jess Wilson as the leader of the Liberal Party in Victoria where there's now a treaty, there's a permanent voice.

I'll be talking about that after the break.

And she is the sole Victorian MP state MP from the Liberal Party who said yes, I'm backing the voice.

So they've essentially selected the very worst person they can to fight these issues.

And it's a significant thing in Victoria because the treaty is broad and it's going to impact just about every piece of legislation that is introduced.

Oh and I just find that photo kind of funny too, because like Australia is, Australia likes to think of itself as the most secular, irreligious nation this side of revolutionary France, and yet when it comes to this sort of thing, suddenly, oh yes, well we'll do the smoking ceremony.

If you brought you know, let's say the archbishop and on a Catholic feast day to even censor around and blow some incnse around Parliament, they would lose their minds.

But the virtue signing the slug sank to many of it all.

It's smoke from burning leaves.

That's what bushfires are made of.

I'm sorry, but as I said, if you want to show your respects for Indigenous Australians, give them the right to own their own property, that would be a starting point.

Let's talk about David Jones.

I used to work at David Jones holiday job in Canberra.

David Jones have decided, oh Christmas, schmishmis not interested Christmas.

This sun no Christmas.

We've got these beautiful windows that allows stores.

Everyone comes to David Jones for the Christmas celebrations.

But nah, nah no, they're not going to bother James.

Well, yeah, David Jones are the great department store for decades, you know, probably for one hundred years, the windows that have been done up in these beautiful Christmas displays, the magic of Christmas.

People would take their kids, people would come in from the bush to come and show their kids the Christmas windows.

And this year it's all just a lot of kind of you know, fancy pants, potato vanetta, handbags and things like that.

You know, yeah, kitties, that's what you really want for Christmas.

But I can tell you though, this sort of grinch, this grinch miss thing that's going on.

Well, you think David Jones is bad.

I was in the Inner West Council where I happened to make my home and in Sydney, and it's.

A very well lets not say about you.

Well I'm bringing up.

Yeah, I curious because I.

Can, because I can bring your stories like this here some of the decorations the Inner West Council has put up.

Well, they've put a sign on a rubbish bin.

I love this.

There a cardboard a cardboard sign stuck on a tree at a roundabout.

That is the extent of the Christmas spirit.

Even in clover boards Sydney.

They say they still say very Christmas on the big flyers, big banners coming down off the lamp posts.

But you know, no in the well, maybe a little bit of happy holidays, but we don't want to offend anybody.

But good news.

David Jones have listened to the backlash to the upset customers and they say we look forward to delighting our customers next year.

So we'll watch on and see if they'll do better.

Christmas and hold thanks David Jones.

Yeah, real great Ousie's a great Ozzie Christmas.

Thanks for DJs.

After the break, we're going to take your break.

After the break, we've got reader's reality check and we've got of course from the UK Iron Central Nathan on why London is dying.

That's next Tech.

Welcome back.

You're watching the last Outsiders of twenty twenty five.

We'll be back bigger and better in twenty six, led by your hosts Rowan Dean, James Morrow and I'm Rita Panahy, and soon we'll be crossing to the UK to look at the unholy mess the Left have made of London.

But you don't have to go that far to see the impact.

Act of a high dead high crime, together with high racial grievance mongering city state Victoria is the epicenter of the left's race of sessions in this country.

It's clear that democracy denies are pressing ahead with the very racial division that more than sixty percent of Australians, including a clear majority of Victorians, rejected in the Voice referendum just two years ago.

It's like the referendum never happened in Victoria.

We now have a permanent state based Voice, plus a treaty broad in scope and all underpinned by a radical ideology that will impact just about every new bill introduced into the Victorian Parliament now.

The treaty called for yet another apology to Aboriginal people, which was delivered this week by Premierguson to Allen, who spoke of the harm that was done and for the harm that can continues to be done to Victoria's Indigenous population due to colonization, and she vowed that we will not look.

Away from what she called the truth.

Colonization of what is now called Victoria was not peaceful.

This is what she said.

It was rapid and violent.

Lands and waters were taken without consent, Communities were displaced, languages, silence, children, remove life's loss.

That was the comment from the.

Victorian Premium well, here are a few home truths for Justin to Allan about colonization.

Without it, we wouldn't have the parliament.

House where she delivered that apology, nor would we have a parliamentary democracy.

Without colonization, we wouldn't have modern health care or the economic prosperity that came with industrialization.

We wouldn't have the rule of law.

We wouldn't have property rights or the infrastructure that makes our lives easy that have significantly boosted our life expectancy in this country.

And we wouldn't have the benefit of the Judeo Christian foundation centered on valuing human.

Dignity and the worth of all people.

Every advantage that we enjoyed that makes Australia a peaceful and prosperous land began with colonization.

So no, I'm not sorry, just sent to Alan, and I don't need you to be sorry on my behalf.

And I don't believe there's anything to be gained by this relentless self flagellation and the humiliation rituals demanded by the race of cess left.

It's important to understand that this toxic agenda doesn't stop with racial division.

It demands racial privilege.

Reserved exclusively for one small segment of the community.

We see evidence of that in Australia, in both public and the private sector, those who identify as Indigenous are entitled to additional benefits or preference treatment, whether it's free dental care, lower admission scores for university courses, or access to all sorts of additional resources.

You can call it positive discrimination, but it's just plain all discrimination based on racial identity.

And get ready for another piece of discrimination to be normalized with something.

Called colonial load leave.

Yes, colonial load leave where Indigenous staff can take additional days off work each year to cope with the ongoing harm of colonization and the emotional burden of working in colonial structures.

Seriously.

Monash University is among institutions providing this leave to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff.

Those who identify as Indigenous can take three days of colonial load leave on full salary in addition to their regular leaf provisions.

Indigenous staff are also entitled to take five days of ceremonial leave on full salary to observe any cultural duties or events or NADOC week functions.

That's eight days of additional leave on full pay available exclusively to Indigenous staff.

Of course, those in academia.

I think this is just wonderful.

There's a fantastic idea.

They've been well.

Those institutions are rotten with a sort of group think, an ideological capture that sees universities, including Monash, for students to complete a compulsory Indigenous Australian Voices module full of radical racial politics.

We broke that story on Sky News three years ago and things have only got worse, a lot worse.

Clearly, Monash doesn't see the racial exceptionalism as undesirable.

It is proud of its discriminatory practice.

But organizations providing colonial load leave not only send a terrible message, but it sets yet another ill advised precedent that undermines fairness and rewards people for their racial identity, not things like I don't know their skill set or work ethic.

Singling out individuals for special privileges based solely on their racial ethnic background doesn't eliminate racism.

It does the opposite.

It normalizes institutional racism.

It's a massive step backwards, another sign that we are heading down a dangerous road, one that was wholly rejected by the Australian people.

Well done, Rita, that was superb and let me just add to that.

We'll play the clip later on in the show.

But there was a horrific story a clip this week of a young white girl in the back of the car, a little maybe she was six or seven or something like that, maybe younger, crying because she wanted to be a brown person because white people were so dreadful, led stolen the land.

They'd done this, they'd done that.

This is what the left are doing to your kids and your grandkids.

They are culturally cultural Marxist to a brainwashing your kids and is tragic.

We'll play the clip later on.

I played clip on my show earlier earlier in the week from a Democrat politician who said she felt shame about being white at times, and she thought it was terrible that we weren't teaching that mindset to young children.

She said the quie bit out loud.

She literally, I could not believe the lengths they are going.

To We're going to jump over to.

We'll get back to that, but we're joining us now from the UK's Form of Reform UK candidate Myron Central Nathan Myron, thanks for joining us as always.

I want to play you a little clip from Rupert Lowe where he's basically saying what I've heard from many people that London is dying.

Have a listen, Myron.

I think London actually is quietly dying.

I mean, when I was young and I was in London during the eighties, London was booming, and everybody wants to be in London because it was it was free, it was entrepreneurial, it was the place everybody wanted to be.

And Myron, I was there in the eighties and that's exactly what it was all about.

But Myron, is London dying?

And why?

Yeah?

Well, I think I agree with Rupert low London is dying.

I mean, London is the capital city of Britain.

It should be the crown jewel representative of Britain.

But I think it's primarily dying.

And sorry to say, the old cliche is mass immigration.

I mean London is thirty percent white Britain.

Oh Ish.

Now, people might say, why are you folking on ethnicity, but the white British is a marker, is a reference point for culture.

And when you have.

Mass immigration, you at this level and you have the white demographic declining, You effectually have a cultural parthei that develops.

You don't get a melting pot where everyone comes together it is one cohesive society.

You have one part of London dominated by one ethnic group, another part dominated by another ethnic group, and so what happens is you have a low trust device of society.

So I think that's primarily the reason why London is dying.

Added to that, there's about half a million illegal immigrants in the black economy working around in some way at least that number, and so you put that all together, combined with things like social housing.

Half of social housing has been attributed that's government housing attributed to people who have where the lead has been born from, have been born abroad.

So effectively what you have is that that London has in some way been almost extradized away from Britain itself.

And then there's high crime eighty thousand phone stolen last year, knife crime soaring as well.

A pint of beer is around eight pounds, which I think is about sixteen Australian dollars.

You piece this all together and this is why London is dying.

And you might say why is can't always getting elect said?

Why is he still ruling over London.

Well, I'll say the answer to that is it's because whenever he gets pushed in a corner about all these issues, he plays the diversity card, he plays the race card with Islamophobia card, and that plays to the demographic of London.

And that's something that Trump brought out earlier that when a demographic changes, eventually you elect a leader who supports a demographic change, and it's not really representative of what I would say Britain should be.

James Maran, I really want to dive deeper into this question, and we're going to talk about some of the really hideous cases and accusations against some people in Margaret hostels and places like that that have really made the headlines.

But more broadly than a bigger issue here and this is, you know, the progressive left, not just in Britain but in Europe and in America and in Australia.

They have been.

Told by their constituency for years, if not decades, please do something about migration.

And yet if they did that, they'd all be in power.

They could do whatever progressive stuff they'd have a huge need to do, other progressive lefty you know stuff economically or whatever.

Why can't the left get it through their skull that this is what the people actually want.

What is so threatening to them about the people who actually live in their countries that they want to have somebody else come in.

Well, I think it's some of it is complacency, some of it is about economics.

I think Thatcher was a great prime minister, for example.

But what Thatcher did was she made conservatism all about free market economics and not about culture, and so that got lost.

Tony Blair then carried on the mantle and he effectively said, do you know what we want?

Cheap labor?

And we've become a drug addicted economy, addicted to cheap foreign labor.

So that's the first thing that happens with the with the Treasury coming in.

The second thing is I think that the left don't want to admit something, some underlying truth.

And you touched upon this early in your earlier discussion, which is that not all cultures are the same.

And you know, Donald Trump recently brought up this idea of targeting the Somali community.

Now you may disagree with some of the rhetoric that he used, but the main thrust of his point was when you're dealing with a national situation with border control, you have to discriminate country by country based on cultural norms.

If you have a country like Afghanistan or Sudan or Iraq which normalizes child marriage, is it a good idea to bringing young or allow young tens of thousands of young men to come into your country and freely roam around.

Is that a logical thing to do so?

In my opinion, culture has been relegated below economics, but I think culture should be above economics and even at the level of national security.

I think that's where the left had gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Warren.

There was a very high profile case that just concluded in the UK to Afghan nationals asylum seekers who were convicted for aping a teenage girl.

And was the evidence in the trial and the commentary from one of the defense lawyers which was really interesting about those cultural differences, and he said that was part of the reason this crime occurred.

And then we've got people who come here who are not used to women having equal rights.

This sort of thing is almost inevitable.

Tell me about that case.

There was some footage that was released that was pretty harrowing, and there were fears that that footage could spark riots.

Yeah, I mean these were two Afghan apparently children who actually targeted a lone girl who managed to get separated from her friends.

She appealed for help.

Unfortunately she didn't get the help tragically and she was raped, as you said, and I would just add that this is a daily occurrence where we are having migrants who have been housed in taxpayer hotels, taxpayer funded hotels, who are allowed to roam the streets from the countries I just mentioned, Afghanistan, Sudan, Eritrea and so on.

They're allowed to roam the streets.

And what's happening is on a daily occurrence we're having some form of rape, murder or sexual assault, and under any normal circumstance you would be calling a national state emergency.

But Labor, the labor government are largely silent on this whole issue, even though it's happening on a daily basis.

So there is an element of absolute helplessness, a sense of despair, a sense of frustration and rage.

Because every crime committed by an illegal migrant has the fingerprints of Kirstarmer and the Labor government.

You can't compare these crimes with ordinary crimes committed by British citizens, you know, and Afghans for example, are three to four times more likely if not and by the Center of Migration Control actually says it's twenty two times more likely to commit sexual assault then the average bridge.

So this is a massive disproportion and we are allowing these people into country who shouldn't be here.

They should be detained and they should be deported.

The last thing they should be doing is allowed to be roam free on the streets.

And that is what has happened.

Every single day.

We're we're getting these instances come forward.

Myra, And I also wanted to ask you a little bit more of what Rupert low spoke about with London and the problem with London, and I suspect it's the same in other major cities, but all these insane climate regulations and so on.

So Rupert Lowe specifically pointed to London having like a twenty k blanket speed limit.

There's all those U layers kind of emission zones where if you had this type of car you can't drive.

There's the regulation.

I know, last time I drove in London, it was just a horror show.

I couldn't.

It was just a nightmare.

And this has led to small little rural shopping centers and that closing down.

You're not getting the small businesses.

Does he have a point with that?

Is is the climate cult if you like really starving to damage places like London.

I mean, Sadique Carl has introduced these ultra ultra emission zones, ultra lower emission zones where he's really put like, really you have to pay, but you have to pay extortion amounts.

But if you're running a business and you're trying to like get around London and in a big van, your construction and so on, all of these things, it just makes it completely unviable.

So you combine that with also, I would say, trains are not often very late.

You have well we often have strikes.

The unions are very powerful, especially under labour these days.

So all of these things combined means that London is somehow paralyzed and is there, like I said, there is this sense ruperto put it quite quite succinctly, that there is this sense that we are dying, We are losing faith in ourselves, we are losing faith in public services, the ability that everything is broken nothing seems to work.

That is the mood combined with a fragmented, low trust society, this escalates and amplifies the whole situation.

But definitely, said Khan, where it's diversity and it's also climate change.

Those are the two classic things that Labour keep banging on about.

Sod e Can is no different.

Maron Central Nathan always great to chat to you, and you stay up late to chat to us, which is great.

Thank you so much.

You've been a big part of the success of this year outsiders and we look forward to seeing you next year and have a very merry.

Christmas there in London.

Thanks Myron.

After the break we'll talk about the latest in climate alarmism.

We've got missions impossible, but remember what's happening in London always sun happens in Australia a few years later.

Bag in itk.

Yes, it's a missions impossible and our mission and we do accept it every week is to point down the insanity of the entire net zero climate cult, renewables nonsense and policies.

Now one of the have a listen to Greta Tunberg and see if you can spot the kind of irony what she's saying.

Europe factories are shutting down and hundreds of thousands of workers are losing their jobs.

But what happens if we don't accept that?

Why, James, can you think of any possible reason why all those factories and businesses might be shutting down?

I'm at a loss, James.

I don't know.

I think it could have to do maybe with the climate hysteria that Greta Tundberg had been pumping out for at least the last half a dozen years.

Let's not blame real because she's an adult now, but it was the result of world leaders, European leaders, listening to some depressed Swedish teenager who is obviously hysterical, who obviously has some serious issues.

And we can say that now she's an adult.

Before you get you get all.

Sorts of backlash if you stated the bleeding obvious about that girl, and we had world leaders listening and formulating policies based on that absolute madness as she addressed the un how many times.

It's all of this is entirely self inflicted.

You can't blame Greta, James, because Greta's just a sad, little doom goblin.

It's the world leaders who decided, yes, let's formulate policy based on these radical hard left green communists.

And you know, it's so fascinating because, like I think, when the Decline and Fall of Western Civilization is written, there's gonna be a whole chapter just about not just credit tubric but as you suggest the way that you know, it's like you see this sort of thing throughout history, some teenage prophetess comes out and everybody decides to buy whatever this sort of stick is and they wind up, you know, with everybody starting religious wars or something like that, you know, because of because of this, and this is the exact same sort of thing.

Everybody bought this teenage prophetess of doom and they said, oh, this is this is this is so profound, this is so incredible, and they all just this collective madness.

You know.

The real people with the problems, the real people the problems readers are the elite and the world leaders and the CEOs and the elite bureaucrats who all said, yeah, yeah, that's.

Where we are to do.

Because they saw through that, of course, the way that they could take power, power and money.

There's been a massive transfer of wealth from ordinary taxpayers ordinary people to the grifters who have really profited from this entire ideology.

And there is a lot of profit to be made from this ideology.

We've seen that right here in Australia.

There's a lot of profit.

But on the other hand, you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to recognize that the climate change in Sanate and Mania, which James was talking about, of which Greta was the symptom, has led to the de industrialization of Europe.

Now it's not just ikea shelves that people are missing.

Weapons, heavy industry, smelters, concretes, all the things of the industrial world which make us prosperous and make our lives so rich and hitherto so successful and bounteous have been destroyed.

And the benefits are the communists of the Chinese Communist Party who sit back sell us these stupid windmills loaded with.

Asbestos and god knows what else.

Laughing at themselves, silly at how we were taken in by the idiocy of some little.

Girl running around banging on about.

Shutdowns, this coalmine, shutdowns, this nuclear power plant, and the Germans and the Europeans and everybody.

Other than Donald Trump ran along with it.

Well, you know, Rowan though, it's really interesting.

I'm glad you mentioned the industrialization and weapons because it's so fascinating to me because Europe right now is saying we need to re arm in case there's a war, and it goes to what Myron was all sting.

But they've run down industry, they've run down patriotism, they've run down national pride, and they've run down the young men who they want to fight the next war.

And now here we.

Are good luck getting that generation to go to war for societies that you tell them evil, that are steeped in white supremacy and genocide.

Yeah, you think your young people are going to go and defend that.

They've It's an unholy mess.

Which ending the year on very grim news.

Neil Young says, if you want to be depressed, I'll take you even further down.

Just after the break, I'm going to talk about an incident on a tram.

In Melbourne on the weekend, and we've got great news, very positive.

Canavanni will join.

Us that discuss the government's new battery subsidy skin innity.

Hello, you're watching Outsiders with Rita Perks of the Job, Panahee, James Family Reunion Morrow and myself rowan off to the tennis courtesy of the taxpayer Dean.

And this is our final outsider show of the year, although of course all next week you can watch the Rita Panahee Show every night, and next Friday will be our individual finales of the year.

The World according to Rwandan at seven pm next Friday, followed by James's US Report at eight pm and Rita's Lefties losing it at nine pm.

So make sure you organize those chrissy drinks with the names next Thursday or next Saturday.

Friday is sacrosanct.

You're in front of the telly.

Next year will be the tenth year of Outsiders, and what a year is going to be.

It will be either the making or the breaking of the Liberal Party.

The wheels are coming off labor every day, the expenses scandal, soaring inflation, climate bribes, what a joke of a government.

So the Libs could do brilliantly, but as things stand, it is the so called moderates, I call them the bedwetters of the Liberal Party who are its single greatest threats.

They believe in all the nonsense of climate change extremism and worse are clearly beholden to the renewables lobbyists.

Make no mistake the vice like grip the renewables investment crowd have over certain members of the Liberal Party could easily finish the party off next year.

The lobbyists won't care.

Their goal is the advancement of their renewables investment portfolios full stop.

I have often said that we have one of the best potential governments in the world sitting right there in Canberra, full of highly principled and intelligent people who have the best interests of the nation across every imaginable portfolio.

At heart.

Trouble is spread across three different parties, and their best performers are mainly in the Senate.

Indeed, in my opinion, Senate Estimates is now one of the best events of the Camera calendar, where razor sharp Coalition and One Nation senators get to hold a blow torch to the bloated bureaucrats and sludge like fat cats of the Camera swamp.

Among those who this country desperately needs on the front bench of a genuinely conservative coalition government are ALEXANDERK.

Bridget, McKenzie, Claire Chander, Sarah Henderson, just Center Price obviously, Hasti and Taylor Pauline, Antson, Malcolm Roberts, Barnaby, Joyce leab lythe and there are several others who come to mind.

And the man, of course he should be in my ideal world Prime minister of this country will be our next guest in just a few minutes time, Matt Canavan.

I'll say it now so I don't embarrass him.

Then, as I said, next year will make or break the Liberal Party and make or break the coalition in its current form.

But what I fervently hope we have by the end of twenty twenty six is a clear and viable alternative government landing blow after blow to blow on this dreadful labor government and its woeful bureaucracy appendage, with its nightmarish collection of opportunists, fools, fat cats and in my opinion, anti israel activists.

Speaking of which, the single greatest failure of the Albanese government, among a very long list of disasters and fiascos, is its failure to prevent the outbreak of anti Semitism that has exploded across this country these last two years.

We all know the cliche from the Second World War that evil exists when good men do nothing.

I would add to that that antisemitism thrives when good people say nothing.

The world, and indeed Western history, is full of people who hate Jews for a variety of idiotic, irrational, and literally insane reasons.

Tragically, this hatred twists and morphs itself into different names and shapes at different periods of time.

Currently, it is more often than not disguised under the code word of being an anti Zionist, or indeed of being anti Israel.

But the hatred is the same.

Don't forget.

It may start with the Jews, but it never ends with the Jews.

Now, for many years, basically since the Second World War, for most Australians, regardless of whatever they may have personally felt about Jewish people, are indeed any foreigners migrating to these shores, the basic social understanding was that giving voice to such bigotry was frowned upon and socially unacceptable.

You risk being ostracized if you espouse obvious anti Semitism, racism, and other vile bigotries.

I mentioned the other day my article.

From a decade ago in The Spectator Australia called dinner party Antisemitism, an article which went viral around the world about how after a few glasses of wine at a dinner party where there were no Jewish people present, the mask would often see and one of the guests would at first tent tentatively, and then, if encouraged by others, more belligerently, start denigrating Jews, even otherwise intelligent and sophisticated people.

But that was the point.

The bigotry may have existed at a subversive level, that anti Semites would first test the water before daring to expose their vile views.

Sadly, that is no longer the case as to Australia's to Australia's absolute shame, we saw on a tram in Melbourne the other day, the day before yesterday, what happened.

According to the Australian newspaper, A rabbi has said he and his two children were told to go to the gas chambers in an alleged anti Semitic incident on a Melbourne tram that left his young daughter in tears.

Rabbi Joannison Johnson, who teachers in a Jewish school and synagogues around Melbourne.

Told the Australia Million newspaper.

The incidant occurred when he was traveling with his two daughters, aged eight and fourteen, on a tram in Carlisle Street in Melbourne's Sint Kilda East on Friday.

Quote as a rabbi, I'm very visibly Jewish in my dress.

Rabbi Johnson said.

Rabbi Johnson said that as he was chatting with his daughters on the tram, a woman seated in the row behind them said, can you shut up and ask them to move seats?

Quote, you should all go.

To the gas chambers.

The woman then allegedly told them.

Rabbi Johnson said, as his younger daughter burst into tears, he wanted to demonstrate he was strong and proud to be Jewish, so he confronted the woman, which he captured on video footage he took on his phone.

End of quote.

That's from the Australian newspaper.

This is that footage in full.

Because this this lady here told us to go to a gas chamber.

Yes you did, look at this free.

Palestine, thank Kafia.

And she told us to go to a gas chamber.

High and what's yeah, I don't know what's your name?

What's your name?

Love?

Stop picking on picking.

Don't tell you to go to a gas chamber.

That I would say anything like that.

Oh really, I've got witnesses.

Did you did she say, go to a gas chamber?

She said, she told go to a gas chamber.

This lady here, he told us I didn't know a gas chamber.

In front of my kids, in front of Jewish.

Kids, she said, go to a gas chamber.

A boy, she's crying.

You said to a Jewish person, a Jewish child, go to a gas chamber.

You are a vile human being.

If you could say something like that, stop your boy.

She told us to go to a gas chamber.

Look, my daughter, she said, go to a gas chamber.

Up until they come.

The years ago just pretty much inconceivable that that alleged event would have happened in such a public place in the open like that.

Possible, but highly unlikely.

Yet on Friday night, when a friend showed me the footage, I was not surprised.

And that is the real tragedy, and that, in turn is the real danger.

It is the failure of normal everyday Aussies, too loudly, repeatedly and without equivocation, confront and condemn.

This sort of behavior that merely.

Encourages more and worse.

As I said earlier, what starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews, and I put the blame, for instance, like this alleged incident squarely at the feet of the Albanezy government and especially the Prime Minister himself, Penny Wong and Tony Burke, who have basically taken every opportunity to align themselves with the forces aligned against Israel.

Moreover, the pro Palestinian pro Hamas movement has seized the opportunity to manz stream and retail virulent antisemitism by packaging it up as political activism.

Yesterday, the pro Palestinian crowd we're at it again, blocking another bridge, this one on in Woollongong, because you know there's all those evil, baby killing, genocidal Zionists in Kama the world.

The world's urgently got to be made aware of them.

The caves.

Keep the what absolute idiots.

As I said at the time of the repugnant march across the Sydney Harbor Bridge, a day of shame for all Australians.

In my opinion, those individuals marching arm in arms surrounded by the banners of hardcore ISLAMA slogans were either fools, frauds, or anti Semites, if not all three.

And as for this self justifying garbage about oh whoa oh, I supported Israel originally, but no, you know they went in too hard into guards or what about this and blah blah blah, give me a break.

So i'merging all Australians.

Speak up loudly the moment you hear any of this nonsense.

Speak out to defend Israel, to defend the Jewish people, and don't be drowned out by all the snide and sick excuses.

The woman on the tram, if she did say those things, should be thoroughly ashamed of her behavior, if what is alleged occurred, If you know her, maybe give her a copy of Betty Listing's autobiography God.

Cried at Auschwitz.

Eighty five of Betty's family members were murdered in the gas ovens of the Third Reich.

In the clip, whether Rabbi confronts the woman on the tram, she denies making those disgusting comments.

I guess we'll never know for sure.

What a shame the New South Wales police acoustics expert who did such a sterling job with the Sydney Opera House.

Wasn't Si in the next seat, No doubt he would have reassured us all that.

She didn't say you should all go to the gas chamber, But what she really said was where's the nearest mass?

Do they have chamber music or some such drivel.

This week also saw disgusting images of the repellent Scottish band Primal Scream performing their unlistenable urged music in front of Israeli flags and stars of David imbued with swastikas.

Yes, this is the.

Modern face of Hitler style fascism.

It is unacceptable, it is disgusting, it is shameful.

And if you tolerate this, or turn a blind eye to it, or try and play the moral equivalence game between Hamas and Jews, you are no better than those so called good Germans who, in the famous words, did nothing while their neighbors and colleagues were gassed to death.

Pure evil.

Joining us now is National Senator Matt Canavan.

I promised you he'd be here, and here is Matt.

Thanks so much for joining us.

You're in your poon.

I gather, which is fantastic.

They're lucky to have you there.

We've got you here now and you can tell us, Matt all about why are labor now giving more and more money to rich people to put batteries in their rich garages next to their rich evs.

Well Rowan, This government is effectively a reverse robin hood.

It takes from the poor and gives from the rich.

You can see that directly in its decision over the last fortnight.

This is two decisions.

One to end the rebates that was giving to Australian households.

They were worth three hundred dollars a year for all households in Australia, but particularly obviously helping those poor among us.

Of those rebates was about three and a half billion dollars a year.

And yes they're very expensive, and yes, what we should be doing is running our electricity system to actually lower prices, get prices back down, so we have.

To provide these rebates.

But the effect of removing these rebates just before Christmas has mean that the poorer families among us, those less fortunate, really don't have the money to buy.

Christmas presents for their kids anymore.

With three hundred dollars is a lot of money for families that are struggling, families that have to budget every penny, and that means that things like Christmas, gifts, holidays all have to be cut back in those families.

Instead, what the government has done they said, oh, we can't afford the three billion dollars or so for the rebates, but we're going to give five billion dollars to rich families who can afford to buy a battery.

Because keep in mind, these batteries aren't free.

Poor families can't get them.

There's no point in renters getting them.

Their renters aren't going to put batteries in their homes because they might not be in that home in the.

Next few years.

These batteries cost, even after the government subsidies, typically around ten thousand dollars.

I mean, the only people who have.

Ten thousand dollars in this struggling economy are those that are very well off.

And good luck to people who are well off.

But I don't understand when we're running a massive debt, when we're approaching at one trillion dollars in public debt, when interest rates are going up, why we're giving five billion dollars to families who can afford their Christmas gifts this year, who could probably often afford a battery anyway.

But of course you'd be a Margus.

Kerry Pakisson not to take the taxi out of the tax reury bait on buying a big battery.

But why are we all subsidizing those families are can afford to do this anyway?

And probably Matt, there'll be an asspen anyway skiing while the batteries are being installed, so that won't inconvenience them having the renos in James Well, and you.

Know, I mean, I would argue, Senator that this is a real intergenerational warfare that Libor is running, as well as economic class warfare, because it's the young and the renters who are going to wind up subsidizing the boomers and the opera need here.

But it's not just those people who are getting money out of this.

Now.

We've also got the Tomago.

Aluminium smelter, which again because they've made power prices too high now has to get a huge government bail out to stay in business, not just to make the aluminium, because also this critical national security infrastructure.

How does all of this work?

And you mentioned interest rates.

Before all of this must have an inflationary effect, which again is going to make it harder for everybody with the price of groceries and the price of a mortgage and everything else.

Yeah, I'll step through both those things.

The James, there's another reverse throb on hood being done here with Rio Tinto.

We have this major problem of massive energy price increases.

Some of the highest energy processes in the world.

Now that puts pressure on obviously businesses that use a lot of energy, like the aluminium smelter at Tomago.

That smelter employees over a thousand people.

I want to say that I'm very passionate about keeping manufacturing this country.

But because we've destroyed our energy.

Grid in this pursuit of intermittent, unreliable renewable energy, we're now having to bail out a company that used to make money, used to pay taxes that help us run public services.

We're having to bail them out, probably to the tune of billions of dollars.

We don't know how much.

Because the Prime Minister's approached the negotiation with big companies is here, here's a blank check, just fill in the numbers later.

That's what the Prime Minister has done this week is just given Rio Tinto, one of the biggest companies in the world, one of the most ruthless companies.

Well, good luck to them, Rio Tinto.

They're pretty ruthless.

So you don't get to be one of the biggest mining companies in the world by playing Tidleywinks.

And he's just given those executives a blank check.

They'd be laughing their heads off in the boardroom right now because they can just write what every want because the Prime said, we're going to save it.

We just work out the numbers later.

And I'll just make this other point here though, like I want to save those a thousand jobs at tom Ago, But since we adopted net zero, we have one hundred thousand fewer manufacturing jobs, one hundred thousand fewer.

Most of those jobs have been lost in small and medium manufacturing enterprises that you and I have never heard of, that never hit the news, just small businesses who can't cope anymore and have to shut their doors.

I was talking to some of the other day who had to do this.

They were investing in green waste manufacturing and they were trying to be a green company, but they couldn't cop the high electricity prices and have had to shut and the ten employees they had gone doesn't make the news, of course, no subsidy from the government.

So why are we allowing a situation to merge here where the Australian government will bail out a multinational company good luck to reattend to over a multinational company to the tune of billions of dollars, But the average small family manufacturing businesses in this country get no relief, get no support, get completely ignored from this government because of their mad pursuit of net zero above all other things.

And this net zero agenda now is riding roughshot over our energy competitiveness.

Are of ability to make things over small businesses in the countries they know have the size and the heft and the political support of riotento.

They're the victims.

The casualties of net zero are those small manufacturing businesses that have added up to Australia having one hundred thousand fewer manufacturing jobs than when we first adopted net zero.

And on net zero, the government is dressing up this massive cost blowout you spoke about with the battery subsidy scheme.

They're saying this is just a sign that the program is hugely successful and popular.

That's why there's a cost blowout.

That's why they've had to divide another five billion to it.

What's your response to that, Is this a sign that Australians do you want to have this sort of battery backup and that's why this has gone from a two billion dollar scheme to a seven point two billion dollar scheme.

Well, Australia is just desperate for some kind of relief.

They'll grab it anything.

When you're drowning, you'll grab it anything to save yourself.

And Australian families are drowning right now under bill surges.

So of course some are going to go for batteries, and we have no problem.

I have no problem with people investing in renew blenzing their own home.

Some people can make that work.

It's very expensive and it's really questionable whether it's a long term good investment given the size of the costs of these batteries.

Obviously, if they're subsidized, that changes the calculation a little bit.

But you can sort of make that work at your household because you want to use your electricity at peak sort of demand.

A few hours a day.

You might turn the air conditioning on in the evening when you're home, and that's about it, and you can make it work.

The problem we've got is that doesn't scale.

Businesses use four times the amount of energy than households do in Australia, four times, and if you're running a factory, you can't run it on whether or not.

You can't run your factory on a weather forecast.

The bomb web site doesn't work half the time.

Even when it does work, you don't want to have to be pulling it up to decide whether you can run your machines today.

If it's the weather conditions are just right.

With the i'm the wind and the limited battery capacity you're ever going to be able to put in in a factory, it doesn't work.

Things like aluminium smelting, things like basic manufacturing need to have their power on all the time.

And that's why we have to get back to running an energy system that has more balance.

This government just putting all their eggs in the renewable basket is destroying our country, destroying our economic wealth, destroying manufacturing jobs.

As I said, one hundred thousand manufacturing jobs lost.

We can't keep going on like this.

What we should be doing is running a balanced electricity system which has some renewables, but also has types of power that can meet demand for things like manufacturing, that can provide the opportunities for things like data centers and AI which need even more reliability to their power than an aluminium smelter.

And we just don't have any balance in our energy system right now.

You need to have a balanced diet for your health, and we need to have a balanced energy system for our economic health too.

Well, Matt, I hope you'll be having a balanced dieta the Christmas there Christmas pudding and up in Townsville, and you'll have a great Christmas.

I'm sure.

Five food groups.

That's it, Matt.

Thank you so much, Frauds exactly.

Thanks so much for being such an important part of Outsiders this year being fantastic, and look forward to seeing you in the new year.

Have a great break and we'll speak to you then.

Thanks so much.

That's Senator Matt Canavan.

There after the break, James's to Ruth Baum and we've got John Heindereka to discuss the ongoing crises in Minnesota.

That's next.

Hello, you're watching the grand finale Outsiders of twenty twenty five with your hosts Rowan Jingle Bells, Dean and Rita one Horse Open Sleigh Panahy, and I'm James Morrow here with your weekly dose of unspeakable truth known as the Truth.

Bob.

Well, this week let's have a little chat about government, graft and social cohesion, two things that you you might not think go together, but stay tuned.

This week, we have, of course been witnessed to the spectacle of the Australian political class sticking its nouse comprehensively in the trough, all perfectly legal and within the rules, apparently until somebody tells us differently.

But in the United States, well, when it comes to government and spending in money, it's a different story.

If you were watching last week, of course, you'd know by now that billions of dollars have been scooped out of the coffers of the great State of Minnesota, largely in this case by people connected with the Somali migrant community, a now giant constituency that got its foothold in the joint after the US decided it would be a great idea to intervene in Somalia's Civil War, Remember black House, calke down and all of that.

Well, there you go, that's how we got here.

And now there are parts of this great American city of Minneapolis, Minnesota that are known as Little Mogadishu, where the call to prayer echoes over the rooftops.

Well, the glories of multiculturalism and all that, it's really no different to church bells and just think of the Cuisines after all.

But the corruption in Minneapolis has gotten now so bad that even the mainstream media is noticing, which makes this a pretty big story, with even CBS News reporting on this bringing viewers news of documents uncovered in a Somali fraud trial.

Check this out.

A honeymoon in the Maldives, a fleet of luxury cars.

Here's a box with more than two hundred and seventy thousand dollars in cash.

This was all evidence from a new Trova fire else obtained exclusively by CBS News showing how a group of convicted Minnesota fraudsters spent taxpayer dollars.

One text message reads, you are going to be the richest twenty five year old?

Yes?

Well, and it ended with a great line in shallah Anyway, Meanwhile, also in the US independent news agency, Alpha News got the scoop from this former TSA inspector who revealed that she more than once saw Somali couriers flying with millions of dollars in cash.

Well, I've actually seen a lot of things, but the most shocking is exactly that I saw suitcases filled with millions of dollars of cash.

And the couriers were always smalling men traveling in pairs, and they got through the checkpoint and it just it just really absolutely blew my mind the first time you opened a suitcase and you see million of dollars of cash.

And typically what would happen is le or law enforcement officer would come check their credentials.

I don't know what kind of questions they asked them, but their ideas were always documented, and probably their plane tickets as well.

So there is a trail of that out there, and we can only hope that the Trumpet Justice Department is following up that trail.

But here's what's really interesting about this, and this is where that social cohesion bit that I mentioned at the start of this editorial comes in.

Now, traditionally, under normal circumstances, you would expect that when it came to news of a massive fraud operation or crime wave connected to Somali's or any other ethnicity, there would be, shall we say, a certain official reticence to recognize the problem draw any bigger conclusions.

Well, yes, in some senses, you'd be right.

I mean, you wouldn't be surprised to learn, for example, that Minnesota's governor, Democrat Tampon Tim Wallt's the owner of that state where this multi billion dollar welfare fraud has taken place on his watch.

He says, these people are really responsible.

But no, I think this idea that the Somali community is to blame for this because they didn't do more.

I think that's how we got into this, and that's you know again, I know we're not going to lose the whole plot here.

All this work is being done.

Donald Trump brought this to the attention like this is something brand new.

It's not brand new, and it's been being worked on, but he made it quite hot and very dangerous.

Ah.

Yes, it's Trump's fault because well suddenly people are noticing that there was a widespread scheme to defraud the taxpayer running with in a particular new bragrant community.

And now this is where it all changes because that narrative of Waltz, people are asking previously unmentionable questions about what happens when people from societies very different to the West, maybe with very different views about social trust or community or law enforcement, come in large numbers.

And again, for their part, the old Democratic Left isn't having any of it.

Governor Waltz says he wants more Somalis to come to Minnesota, and Fox News is David Marcus actually went to the state and reported on the ground that while liberals are acting like corruption within the smaller community is kind of like they're actually saying, it's kind of like a roundabout form of social justice.

Marcus wrote, I went to Minnesota expecting to find anger over billions of dollars stolen from kids, but I can only find what I can find, and what I found was an attitude the graft by the right people is all most viewed as an acceptable form of reparations.

Huh okay, But here's the truth bomb.

That may be where the old Left is, but the rest of the country is moving fast and thanks to Donald Trump, the window on what you can and cannot say about that old narrative of all cultures being equal and all that has been that window of what you can discuss that's been shouldered wide open.

Here's what I'm talking about in the New York Times, of all places, Yes, the New York Times, the hallowed organ of the American Left, which is very important because it sets the agendas for newsrooms across America and around the world.

Well, they have allowed a fascinating piece by Christopher Caldwell to be published about what's happening in Europe that endorses Trump's criticism of mass migration.

Not in Minnesota again, but in Europe.

But it is a sentiment and a comment that can apply equally in Minnesota and in Australia as well, though not that our leaders are listening yet.

Here's what Colwell wrote, and remember this got published in the New York Times.

He wrote, the administration, the Trump administration is not arguing that people of this or that national origin are better than others.

It argues that we have arrived at the end of the politics of the blank slate.

The nations of Europe are actual places with distinct cultural and civilizational qualities, on the basis of which they make peace and go to war.

They're not just arbitrarily bounded zones that can be expected to remain always the same no matter who lives there.

Well, what a truth, Bob.

That is the old blank slate, the idea that everyone is not just worth the same because they have dignity as human beings.

We all agree that, but also that some cultures, that all cultures are equally compatible.

Well, that idea is over.

The liberals of Minnesota haven't woken up to this truth yet, But as the bill comes do they just might, And I'd say I'd hope the rest of us have a less costly epiphany.

Great stuff, Thanks James, and now joining us from Minnesota and the Center of the American Experiment, President John Heyder Reiker.

John, great to see you.

How are you doing?

Great?

Rowan, excellent.

You've heard what James is saying about Minnesota.

You're there, and what's it like?

Well, you know, Rowan, It's what's unique is that we're now in the in the eye of the entire nation and in fact the world in Australia.

You know, people are interested in what's been happening in Minnesota.

And I think one point to be made is that we in Minnesota have known about these scandals for a long time.

My organization Center of the American Experiment and my website power Line are the two groups that started writing about these scandals in January of twenty twenty two.

It'll be four years next month.

And what I would say is that it's remarkable the extent to which the administration of Tim Walls and the Democratic Party established but in Minnesota generally has refused to acknowledge these scandals, has refused to do anything about them.

So that all of the criminal prosecutions, all of them have been brought not by the state government, not by Tim Walls, not by his Attorney General, but by the United States Attorney's Office office.

They have all been federal prosecutions that have convicted these fraudsters.

And what's changing really is the fact that finally these scandals are getting the attention that they deserve.

RITA tell me about the political power this community has in Minnesota.

We've seen IOC, one of the squad members, Democrat congress woman.

She's been in a war of words with President Trump, but it seems to be quite a powerful voting block in that state.

How does it work?

It is powerful Rita.

And if you ask yourself, why did the Democrats who are on the state government just not care about dolling out billions of dollars in fraud.

I think the answer is because they benefited from it.

They benefited to some extent because some of those dollars came back to the Democratic Party in the form of campaign contributions.

But they benefited more because by shoveling billions and billions and billions of dollars fraudulent as well as non fraudulent into that very insular Somali community, what they did is they bought a great deal of loyalty to the party, the Democratic Party, and they bought a lot of votes.

So we've got no one knows exactly about one hundred thousand plus Somalis living here in Minnesota, the large majority of our American citizens, and their voter turnout numbers are very high, and they clearly have made the difference not only in elections in Minneapolis or Hennepin County, which is the county that Minneapolis is in, but even in statewide elections they have represented the balance of power.

So it has become an important voting block.

Just quickly on AOC.

President Trump is saying she married her brother.

He's putting that out there.

Tell me about that.

That's a story that was reported in Minnesota some years ago.

It's kind of been dismissed as as fight news.

Is there any substance to it, Well.

There absolutely is.

This was reported on my website power Line years ago.

There's a whole long backstory here.

We can't go into all the details, but there's no doubt about the fact that il han Omar did marry her brother, a guy named Elmy.

That's the last name.

For fraudulent reasons, and one of the reasons.

We know.

This is a ton of evidence.

But for example, il han Omar and her brother whom she then married, on Facebook said Happy Father's Day to the same father.

That's the evidence, and there's there's a whole lot there is.

There is no doubt about the back she did marry her brother.

Wow, and she is a Democrat congresswoman.

I mean, that is astonishing.

That's extraordinary.

But you know what, that's extraordinary.

John and I woke up to this story this morning.

I thought, well, I had to laugh.

The New York Times has been reporting that Joe Biden, the Biden team have come up rather short in their efforts to raise money for a Joe Biden presidential library.

I think they've only got something like eleven million bucks.

The Obamas have got two hundred million behind that really grim, massive sort of WORDWELLI in nineteen eighty four Soviet structure they're doing in Chicago.

This Joe Biden, he was supposed to be this most popular president who got the most votes, you know, ever in American history, and now his presidential library is going to be what one of those sort of Ikea bookshelves.

James that's a great part.

Supposedly he got more votes than anybody else in history.

I question that.

And the Biden Library organization reported that in the year twenty twenty four they got zero donations.

Now a single one.

Wow.

So it's a sad story, but frankly, it's probably the least surprising story in the news after Joe Biden's pretty disastrous tournament office and after he was kicked off the Democracratic ticket in twenty twenty four.

The reality is that there are no Democratic Party donors who want to spend their money honoring Joe Biden.

He has about as little influence in the political world as it is possible to have, and that is the brutal reality that we are seeing reflected in this fundraising unbelievable.

Now, John, quickly before we go, the story of the US soldiers who have been ambushed in Syria.

So this is pretty interesting because you know, Trump's made a big play about the new character there in Syria.

What will be the ramifications of these soldiers being ambushed?

Well, well, seero at events in Syria are pretty murky.

I think it's a surprise to most Americans that we have troops in harm's way in that country.

The attacker apparently was a terrorist said to be associated with the Islamic State.

The president of Syria, Ahmed al Sharrah, is himself a former terrorist, but he was welcomed warmly to the White House by President Trump last month, and obviously our government believes that he is the best bet for that very troubled country.

So we will see how this plays out.

But I can tell you this, Royan, the American people do not have much appetite for losing military personnel in Syria.

John, Heindirek, You've given us many reasons why everybody should be reading the power line blog.

You are there four years ago on two of those stories.

Thank you so much.

On John Heinderreka, thanks so much for being such an important part of Outsiders this year and look forward to seeing you in the new year.

And you have a great Minnesota Christmas.

John, Thanks so much.

John.

After the break, gots more Wally of the week?

Come on, we've got a few to choose from.

In a tick.

Yes, it's time to choose the Wally of the week.

And I mentioned it earlier, but I'm sorry I have to nominate Jess Willon and the Victorian Liberal leader for this insane photo supplicating to the smoke from the gum leaves to show her so called respect for Indigenous Australias.

What an absolute farce.

I'm sorry if that's If that's your political bitch, forget it.

But I also want to give the Liberal Party, someone in the Liberal Party a big thumbs up, a reverse Wally of the Week if you like.

And this was the very clever idea of sending out to the electorate Anika Wells voters in that electorate.

The Liberal Party sent out this hilarious wish you were here thing showing all the places she's been on the taxpayer's dime, all the wonderful trips in New York and Paris and everywhere else in the snow, with the numbers, the figures printed on the back of how much you, the taxpayer have paid for her travels.

What a terrific idea.

Well done to the Liberal Party.

We need a lot more of that sort of thing.

Anyway, Let's get back to Wally of the Week Rita.

Well, I've got a couple of nominees.

Let's go to a local Sydney counselor.

His name is Lindon Gannon, and he has a brilliant idea.

How good would it be if you didn't have to work the Monday after Mardi Gras?

Hey City, did you know councils could request to have their own public holidays next year?

I want to see the Monday after Mardi Grasp be a public holiday.

Let me know what you think of the comments below.

Mary, Why just.

The monday, Linden, Let's just take the whole week, maybe the whole month off.

Let's just have Marti Gras month and work optional optional?

Yes?

Why not?

Unbelievable games?

Well, I'm going to go overseas for one of my nominees here Emanuel Macharn, the French right there at the French annunciations.

The Russian.

Yeah, well, anyway, we'll talk about it later.

Anyway, Notre Dame, the Grand Cathedral in Paris, has been rebuilt after that fire.

Now they've done a great job rebuilding the cathedral itself, but the stayed glass survived.

The stay glass survive.

The inferno, and yet they've gone and I think we can see it here.

Decided that this artist is going to have a look at this.

The French are in revolt after Emmanuel Macron splurged more than three million euros on a whim.

Critics say, to woke Afy, the Notre Dame the historic stained glass windows installed in the nineteenth century by Vile la Duc are being removed from the cathedral, despite surviving the twenty nineteen fire unscathed, despite up rule.

When the decision was announced, Macron plowed on.

But the reaction then pales in comparison to the reaction now.

The French have seen the results in a Paris display.

And the art what what it is?

It's not stained glass, it's actually painted glass and it is the worst sort of you know, Vatican to guitar mass kind of modern church art you've ever seen so machron, you get the l lais.

La love it very good.

That is that should be in jail for that.

That is to me, it is such a crime that you would do that.

I'm absolutely blown away by that.

One makes this next nomination seem not as important.

Joy Reid fired MSNBC hosts Full Time Nutbag.

Well, she's now decided that jingle Bells is deeply racist.

It was all.

Written to make fun of black people, and it's just something else that we have to cancel out of Christmas.

There more jingle bells the house not important.

It was written by a Confederate soldier.

So let's just deem it raciystem move on.

What were you going to say, Oh, I don't have anywhere to go with that.

I thought you were going to say, I wonder what she thinks of white Christmas.

So we've got to choose the Waally of the week.

Look, I was going to go with Jess Wilson with you.

Now I think we've got to give it low Wally do week.

It has seen the Last Man greatly Loally.

Max week, and I can think of a few French words that would probably say it more colorfully.

We can take a short break.

When we come back.

We've got celebrity stool bed can I Yes, thank you so much for watching Outsiders.

This is our final show of the year, and the most important people on the show are you, the viewers, And thank you so much for watching it us every Sunday morning.

We certainly do appreciate it, and we do appreciate it on the rare occasions you might pop into us, pop up at a shop or somewhere and say how much you love the show, and we really do appreciate.

The three of us certainly appreciate your loyalty and your support, and hope you have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas.

And we'll be back early in the new year, so worry about that.

But we've still got our Friday shows.

I don't want to miss those.

RITA, what's happening in the world of celebrities?

Oh well, I think we'd better hear from Dave Letterman, a legend of late night TV.

These days, he's looking like the unobomber and just spouting off insane things about Donald Trump.

And he appears here with Jimmy Kimmel.

The guy who lied about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer.

Irrespective of a party or political ideology, if the leader of the free world is a fool, the leader of the free world then should expect and examine every bit of ridicule.

He received, so brave, so profound.

Excuse me if I don't want to be lectured to about anything by a man who's so morally repugnant that he took his mistress on a family holiday with his wife and child.

I mean, just think about the absolute houtzpah.

You would have to have to take your girlfriend the side piece, along with your wife and have them in the same little holiday resort.

Gross, Dave, don't want to hear from you.

It's all this leader of the resistance stuff.

James.

Here we go again with the you know, the left.

The Democrats flirt constantly with this political violence, with Trump as a dictator, his equivalent of Hitler, always just that millimeter away from justifying the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the attempted two assassinations on Donald Trump.

It's extraordinary, it's extraordinary.

But I'm sorry.

You know, maybe Dave didn't do that.

There, but plenty of other celebrities and prominent people we have seen step.

Over if you've watched the full cleep, he said.

He has said in recent times that no individual has done more acts than Trump ever, well ever like the worst than Hitler.

Here's the thing, though, you know, I grew up watching David Letterman when I was a kid, when he was on after Johnny Carson, when he was on at twelve thirty at night, I would stay up.

I would watch it.

He was so.

Subversive when you know he was doing his stuff in the eighties.

He had all these you know, really just wild, weird comedic acts.

It was very gonzo television.

It was so anti establishment and the way he has now, you know, looking like Papa Smurf come around here to tell us the most boring established establishment positions.

When these Hollywood people go out and say I'm going to be really brave, I'm part of the resistance because I'm standing up to Trump, well, you know in those circles it's popular.

You heard the audience there, they are laughing.

Like free lyles.

If you said the opposite, if you actually went on there and said, Jimmy Kimble, you should apologize for lying about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer saying his maga when he was a hard left activist, or if he said something pro Trump, you would not work again.

This is the thing.

There's a new age McCarthyism that's established in Hollywood where you don't work unless you subscribe to these hard ideology, this hard left worldview.

I mean, look a great data point for that.

Think about Sidney Sweeney.

Think about how she did an ad that some people took a certain way and she had to do interview after interview where they were putting her through the rigors.

But you condemn, don't you?

And she stood up to.

As Megan, No, she hasn't because she's now taken the knee.

She's done the obviously got some advice that this isn't helping your career and perhaps just give a statement that the left will appreciate.

And she did that this week during interview, which I think was the most predictable thing to happen.

But we've got another nominee, surprise one, because I thought this individual wouldn't take bend the knee.

But Tom Cruise apparently didn't get his plans space movies off the ground because he didn't want to ask President Donald Trump for NASA coordination.

Really, that seems.

That's according to page six.

So if you take that on face value, that's not very good.

Film because he would have had to ask Trump if he could use some NASA stuff in the making of the film.

I don't know, I don't know.

That doesn't sound right to me, but I'm not doubting this content.

Now, Amanda, Amanda cifreed.

She's been out there making various comments.

Let's have a quick look.

But we all don't have any kind of agendas.

How about our agenda is take care of each other.

Socialism is a gorgeous idea, and I know it doesn't work perfectly or that people.

Understand what the word actually means.

What the word actually means.

For me, it's taking care of each other.

If I have more money, I can spend more money on other people.

Isn't that right?

Yeah?

I love wealthy millionaire celebrities espousing socialism.

Yes, of course you do.

That's all for the show and we will see you next year.

Thank you so much.

As I said, for watching Outsiders, have a fantastic Christmas.

You've still got the three of us on Friday and Reto during the week, so I will see you Friday.

World according to rowndin US report and lefties losing it, but for now from outsiders, have a very merry Christmas and we'll see you in the new year.
