Speaker 2 (00:10):
Muz from very good afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Who would Australians prefer as Prime Minister?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, surprise, surprise, Peter Dutton. This is a brand new
poll out this week exclusively for the Fairfax Media Group
or nine these days. Of course the Cidny Morning Herald
this morning of it is shocking news. I don't know
how many bets I've got out there with people I've
bet I've backed down to the albanezy in. I didn't
think Peter Dutton had a hope in hell. He's got
almost twenty seats to win back. He had a dreadful
(00:38):
public persona. People didn't like him, they in fact hated him.
He just looked terrible, sounded worse. But I'll tell you what,
He's taken the leaf out of Tony Abbot's book. He
was the most effective opposition leader we've ever seen. He
turfed Kevin right out. And I mean, look on these
figures Peter Dutton's heading for the Prime ministership. I'll give
you some quick figures here. Forty six percent of voters
(01:02):
say the wages are going to fall this year. Well,
no surprise in that, because cost delivery is a big
ticket item in town. But here's the thing. In a
warning sign for Albanezy, fifty percent of voters say inflation
is going to get worse. Now you factor all this
in and the poll has found as preferred Prime Minister
Peter Dutton's ahead thirty nine to thirty four. They were
tied on this question at the end of last year.
(01:25):
Labour's primary vote because we've got a funny system over here,
a bit different than the New Zealand one, but we're
allowed to cast a primary vote and then distribute preferences.
So Labour's primary vote it's a twenty seven percent, it's
one and four. The coalition's nearly forty right, and so
the Greens are pretty much the same Hansen pretty much
(01:45):
the same support for the independence right. These are the
Teals who took seventy seats off the Liberals last time round,
that slipped from eleven to ten. The Labor government looks
to be in trouble, but it's only one pole.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well yeah, but welcome to twenty twenty five Mary, you know,
because it's not about Peter Dutton. None of that is
about Peter Dutton. It's all about the incumbents and in
jurisdictions and sovereignties all over the world. It's all about
the incumbents and if the economy goes bad, they'll vote
for a polar bee. I tell you.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Now, Well, let's speaking to the right, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, okay, Now what is Who are the police in
Australia blaming for the anti Semitic attacks?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Well, this is a very moving feace, so I can
let you know. Just a few minutes ago we heard
confirmation that a second person has been arrested over the
attempt a couple of weeks back now to fire bomber
Synagogue and Newtown, which is in the Inn and West.
The guy was tasered by police at a pub near
the CBD at lunchtime today. Now this follows the arrest
of a second person they were looking for over that
(02:48):
fire bomb attack. So we've had eight separate attacks on
different Jewish institutions. If you like two synagogues, you've got
a childcare center, you've got a private home, you've got
cars vandalized and set on fire and so on. So
eight attacks in three months now. You know, the Federal
Police came out this week on Tuesday. They gave an
(03:11):
address to National Cabinet, which is of course Anthony Albanezi
and all the state and territory leaders as well. What's
going on, asked the politicians, Well, said the federal police.
Would you believe, like Maxwell Smith, would you believe there
could be foreign actors overseas paying local criminals here to
go and carry out these deeds? Well though, and behold
(03:32):
today we've had the new South Wales State Police commissioner
and she has said, well, guess what this could be
like air tasker. These could be people air tasking these
attacks on synagogues. I heard at lunchtime today it could
be in at least one case, possibly more, someone's called
in a drug debt, We'll forgive your drug debt to
(03:54):
us if you go and fire bomb synagogue. Now they
apparently threatening the family of the people who owed the
money to the drug dealers. So this is entirely now
into a whole new space. It's not just police hunting
bad guys, but I mean, this whole notion of air
tasking criminal activity is pretty frightening to be frank welcome to.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Twenty twenty five money. This is this is globalism rip large,
isn't it. So there we go. Hey, so the Australian
Open is awesome, but the interviewers are terrible. We're going
to talk about that next hour. But what I didn't realize.
I thought, because the Ossie openers like top tier, that
they would pay the ball boys and ball girls. But
they don't.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
What No, and I guess what people are saying. Listen,
you tight, so and so pay the ball boys and
ball girls. Don't get anything off. They get a shirt,
you know, they might get some socks and get a
food allowance. But they get to hang.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
They get to hang with their heroes and be inspired.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah. Great, it doesn't pay the bills. And as the
Australian Children's Commissioner said this morning, listen, young people, young
people working at the Open. They're not moon to cost
of living pressure. They're not all living at home with
mommy and daddy. They're out there trying to pay the rent,
go get themselves through UNI and so on. Pay them.
Social media has blown up deluxe over this fall. Kids
at the US Open get fifteen bucks US an hour
(05:13):
will and they get three hundred and fifty dollars a week.
The Australian Open. They they may be able to get
a burger at lunchtime and some cold French fries. Yuck.
There's the thing. I mean, the Australian Open. They're out
there and all sorts of weather, sweating and little faces off.
And guess what the winners of the of the men's
and women's singles three point one five million. If you're
(05:34):
a first round losing you get one hundred and twenty k.
These kids get nothing. Does that sound fair to you?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh? I don't have an opinion on such things, but
no it doesn't. You're quite right and no, thank you
so much. Murry Olds from Australia.
