00:01:04.220 Welcome back to the Yaminireport, and it's election season.
00:01:08.060 Aren't we all so excited?
00:01:10.580 I know, some of us, or some of them have already been in election season for months,
00:01:15.760 they just, no one wanted to admit it.
00:01:17.480 But, in the lead-up to the election, the people that I want to talk to are those that are making a difference,
00:01:23.760 hopefully, on our side, here in Australia.
00:01:26.720 And no one makes more of a difference, more of an impact, than the very one, Nation.
00:01:32.520 A party that I've been following for a long time.
00:01:34.440 In fact, it was my first introduction into the political realm, the political world,
00:01:40.400 was when I made the grave mistake in inviting Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts
00:01:45.800 to speak to the Jewish community in 2017.
00:01:49.020 Oh, well, man, I did not realise inviting elected officials could cause such a shitstorm.
00:01:57.980 And what a shock it was when the AFP ended up shutting down our event
00:02:03.120 because outsiders came to gatecrash and threaten the local Jewish community.
00:02:10.240 Outsiders now that are recognised, the same ones we see marching on the streets every week
00:02:14.920 against the Jewish community, they were willing back then in 2017
00:02:19.140 to come and protest a Jewish event in which Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts
00:02:24.120 came to speak because they just, because they're so tolerant.
00:02:30.440 But we're not talking about that tonight.
00:02:31.440 We're talking about everything around the election and One Nation in Victoria.
00:02:35.120 Mate, how are you doing?
00:02:36.580 Welcome to the show.
00:02:38.260 For those who don't actually know who you are, go and introduce yourself.
00:02:43.940 Yeah, thanks, Avi.
00:02:44.860 I am absolutely fantastic, mate.
00:02:46.740 And, you know, there's never been a better time to get behind One Nation in Victoria.
00:02:51.240 So, viewers, my name is Warren Pickering,
00:02:53.500 and I am the lead senator candidate for the One Nation party.
00:02:56.400 I've also assumed the responsibility of state director for these last three or so years
00:03:00.660 since I was first endorsed on a federal ticket in 2022.
00:03:05.740 Look, my background is I grew up in Gippsland, Victoria, country boy, bricklayer for 10 years,
00:03:11.620 then joined the army as a combat engineer, combat operations,
00:03:15.840 and humanitarian aid disaster relief ops all around the planet,
00:03:19.640 and back to sunny Victoria to try and fix things sort of post-COVID to get engaged.
00:03:25.740 So, look, I never saw politics on my own horizon.
00:03:31.180 I, to this point, I'm not good at self-promotion.
00:03:33.900 I have no desire to be a politician.
00:03:35.400 But the trouble is, as soon as I got a little bit involved,
00:03:37.800 I went down the rabbit hole and realized that, look,
00:03:41.120 there is an absolute desperate need for real people to get involved in the political sphere in this country.
00:03:45.880 We suffer for political ignorance.
00:03:48.260 And I don't believe that's an accident.
00:03:49.800 You know, we moved political science from the syllabus in the 1980s,
00:03:52.620 and I think as a result, we are all largely politically illiterate in this country.
00:03:57.600 So, yeah, running an active education campaign and trying to enlighten some people
00:04:04.540 and get a few more regular Aussies involved.
00:04:08.360 Well, I want to start by thank you, firstly, for your service.
00:04:12.140 And I guess your service now is to try and trying at least to push it.
00:04:17.500 I don't care what, I know you do care,
00:04:21.160 but I care less about which of the minor right-wing parties
00:04:25.440 I feel like we just need to push some of those in.
00:04:29.460 You know, the best outcome for me in this election would be
00:04:32.500 if we get, for the first time, I believe,
00:04:35.180 a liberal minority government in which, you know,
00:04:38.580 one nation holds the balance of power.
00:04:40.800 Imagine that.
00:04:42.020 And I'm assuming that's what you're going for.
00:04:44.900 Mate, that's sort of what I've been pitching to people as well.
00:04:48.740 As much as we'd love to say we're going to secure a whole swag of our seats
00:04:53.240 enough to form government,
00:04:54.440 while I do foresee that potentially happening within my lifetime,
00:04:59.120 probably not this election side.
00:05:00.400 You might have to form government with Trumpets of Patriots
00:05:02.660 because I believe that they're going to have a prime minister.
00:05:04.740 I'm just smoking around.
00:05:05.920 Hey, classic.
00:05:07.900 Mate, you've got to be ambitious, don't you?
00:05:09.540 You've got to own my.
00:05:10.480 Look, but that's what I've been pitching to people as well.
00:05:13.260 The reality is whether it's our party
00:05:14.620 or whether, you know, you share a value set
00:05:16.400 with one of the other freedom-friendly-minded parties
00:05:18.260 is somewhat irrelevant.
00:05:20.100 Yes, of course, I have a bias that I'd like it to be my party.
00:05:22.580 But I believe firmly that One Nation is the most capable vehicle
00:05:27.780 of delivering us that balance of power
00:05:29.440 to the freedom-friendly minor party movement.
00:05:31.720 I genuinely believe that.
00:05:32.980 And I think realistically what we could pick up
00:05:36.420 a few lower house seats this time around,
00:05:38.100 but we have seen successive election cycles
00:05:40.060 and watched the majors lose traction
00:05:42.920 for the last two decades effectively.
00:05:45.480 You know, we saw our Abernathy pick up,
00:05:47.100 I believe, with the lowest percentage ever,
00:05:49.020 33-odd percent primary vote.
00:05:51.500 And it's likely if Dutton secures government,
00:05:54.000 it's going to be with even less
00:05:55.220 and maybe even, yeah,
00:05:56.500 have to potentially form something of a coalition
00:05:59.860 or work with One Nation to do that.
00:06:04.480 But look, I think that's our best hope
00:06:07.100 as a society at the moment
00:06:09.060 is for a Liberal government under Peter Dutton
00:06:11.660 with One Nation holding the balance of power.
00:06:13.780 We can pull that party back to its conservative base.
00:06:16.380 We can quite literally block bad legislation in the Senate.
00:06:20.020 Yeah, I agree with you.
00:06:21.900 So from your perspective,
00:06:24.800 I guess, you know,
00:06:26.100 we've seen a lot of people,
00:06:27.240 a lot of parties pop up since COVID
00:06:29.240 or right after COVID.
00:06:31.100 We've seen a lot of people shift around
00:06:33.480 between the different parties.
00:06:35.500 You haven't.
00:06:36.160 In the last election,
00:06:37.860 you were standing as a Senate candidate as well.
00:06:41.540 I remember we did the debate night.
00:06:43.700 You were there.
00:06:45.500 Why have you stuck with One Nation?
00:06:47.060 Why did you join One Nation then?
00:06:49.320 And is it the same reason
00:06:50.920 why you're still with One Nation?
00:06:52.440 Has there been any shift for you?
00:06:54.140 Because for others,
00:06:54.860 there obviously clearly has been a shift.
00:06:56.500 They've moved around.
00:06:58.820 Yeah, look,
00:06:59.440 and I appreciate that
00:07:00.800 because COVID was,
00:07:02.600 I think, very polarising
00:07:03.780 for a lot of us in a lot of ways.
00:07:05.120 And I think a lot of people
00:07:05.980 had previously not taken interest
00:07:07.860 in the political sphere.
00:07:09.240 After COVID,
00:07:09.980 they realised they need to take an interest.
00:07:11.380 So they jumped on,
00:07:12.500 you know,
00:07:13.080 the bandwagon with the party
00:07:14.200 that was available to them at the time
00:07:15.740 that represented their values
00:07:16.900 or their needs at the time.
00:07:18.340 Whereas I think now,
00:07:19.260 a lot of people have probably
00:07:20.120 had the opportunity
00:07:20.760 to really research parties
00:07:22.000 and find, you know,
00:07:22.880 which ones and their policies
00:07:24.680 best resonate with them
00:07:25.700 and get behind and support them,
00:07:27.220 which is fantastic.
00:07:28.280 You know,
00:07:28.420 that's the democratic process in action.
00:07:30.900 So that's great.
00:07:31.940 But for me personally,
00:07:32.800 I was always One Nation,
00:07:34.560 was never going to be
00:07:35.480 anyone else for me.
00:07:36.260 Why?
00:07:36.620 And I always resonated
00:07:38.020 with One Nation policy
00:07:39.160 and I always will.
00:07:41.540 The fundamentals of the policy,
00:07:44.080 I think,
00:07:44.620 the fundamentals
00:07:45.980 of the Judeo-Christian barriers
00:07:47.280 set that this country
00:07:48.200 was founded upon.
00:07:49.340 And far from the mainstream media's,
00:07:51.860 you know,
00:07:52.340 the belief that the mainstream media
00:07:53.640 would perpetuate us
00:07:55.020 to be these right-wing extremists,
00:07:57.260 I truly believe
00:07:58.620 that One Nation
00:07:59.220 is the last bastion
00:08:00.200 of true conservatism
00:08:01.180 in this country.
00:08:03.920 So a lot of...
00:08:05.240 has happened
00:08:05.820 since you ran last.
00:08:09.480 Has...
00:08:10.240 I guess first...
00:08:12.180 Has One Nation...
00:08:13.020 Have you seen any shift in...
00:08:14.480 Because One Nation in Victoria
00:08:15.400 has never been
00:08:16.040 particularly successful.
00:08:17.660 Has there been a growth
00:08:18.620 since, I guess,
00:08:21.100 the last election?
00:08:22.700 Mate,
00:08:23.020 there has been
00:08:23.540 exponential growth.
00:08:24.400 So One Nation in Victoria,
00:08:26.040 a lot of people
00:08:26.500 don't realise this.
00:08:27.320 So they just assume
00:08:28.000 because Senator Hanson
00:08:29.400 has been around
00:08:30.000 and fighting this fight
00:08:32.100 since 1996
00:08:32.940 that, you know,
00:08:34.140 this party's firmly
00:08:34.980 established in Victoria.
00:08:36.100 But the reality is
00:08:36.940 we ran our first state election
00:08:38.280 in 2022
00:08:39.020 and we managed
00:08:40.560 to get Ricky Leiteral,
00:08:41.700 MLC, up
00:08:42.460 for Northern Victoria region.
00:08:44.160 So we're 100% successful
00:08:45.440 at the state elections
00:08:46.380 in Victoria.
00:08:47.480 Now,
00:08:47.960 that's a phenomenal statistic
00:08:49.300 when you consider
00:08:49.860 21 individual parties
00:08:52.120 registered to run
00:08:52.980 at the last state election.
00:08:54.400 Yeah,
00:08:56.120 as I said,
00:08:56.620 so Victoria is now
00:08:57.420 our fastest growing
00:08:58.200 membership base.
00:09:01.120 And a lot of those
00:09:02.280 are disenfranchised
00:09:03.440 Labor and Liberal voters,
00:09:05.040 which is surprising to me,
00:09:06.540 but many are
00:09:07.280 just conservative people
00:09:08.440 that, you know,
00:09:09.780 held on to those
00:09:10.460 traditional value sets
00:09:11.400 of both those parties.
00:09:12.260 I find that interesting.
00:09:13.580 So I do hear
00:09:14.600 that a lot of Labor,
00:09:16.440 I guess,
00:09:17.740 working class,
00:09:19.020 traditional,
00:09:19.880 real Labor,
00:09:22.500 people do move over.
00:09:23.840 How many do you see
00:09:24.880 coming over?
00:09:25.720 And what are the kind
00:09:26.900 of policies
00:09:27.320 that you're finding
00:09:28.660 that they are joining you for?
00:09:32.200 Generally,
00:09:33.200 just the standard
00:09:37.120 economic policy
00:09:38.200 or the standard
00:09:38.820 sort of policy
00:09:39.560 that resonate
00:09:40.340 with families.
00:09:41.060 Like,
00:09:41.200 particularly of late,
00:09:42.600 it's the income
00:09:43.520 splitting policy
00:09:44.680 that we've put forward
00:09:45.500 to campaign on
00:09:46.200 in this federal election
00:09:47.040 because we know
00:09:47.680 it's those economic policies
00:09:49.080 that people are going
00:09:50.200 to vote on this election.
00:09:51.280 People are feeling it.
00:09:52.220 They're hurting
00:09:52.560 in the hip pocket.
00:09:55.200 So things like that
00:09:56.100 that are just
00:09:56.480 common sense
00:09:57.280 economic policy
00:09:58.260 that they're not seeing
00:09:59.980 from either
00:10:00.560 of the major parties,
00:10:01.560 which is interesting to me
00:10:02.600 because I guess
00:10:04.500 I suffer the illusion
00:10:05.420 that most people
00:10:06.200 understand the party
00:10:07.600 that they vote for
00:10:08.380 and the very set
00:10:08.920 of the party
00:10:09.300 they vote for,
00:10:10.220 whereas the Labor Party
00:10:11.360 no longer represent
00:10:12.440 that conservative
00:10:13.900 working class value set
00:10:15.180 that they did
00:10:15.620 in the 50s
00:10:16.420 and 60s
00:10:16.960 and 70s
00:10:17.580 and I think
00:10:19.280 people are realizing
00:10:20.000 that, you know,
00:10:20.600 they've become
00:10:21.140 a very,
00:10:21.680 a socialist story
00:10:23.900 or a social oriented party
00:10:25.780 and most of their
00:10:26.720 policies are based
00:10:28.260 around, you know,
00:10:29.560 whoever jumps up
00:10:30.660 and down
00:10:30.960 and becomes
00:10:31.360 a squeaker's wheel
00:10:32.120 or makes the most noise
00:10:33.080 or whatever,
00:10:33.580 you know what I mean?
00:10:34.080 They just seem
00:10:34.540 to capitulate
00:10:35.080 to the very vocal left arm
00:10:36.600 to the detriment
00:10:37.360 of their traditional
00:10:38.580 support base.
00:10:39.960 Look,
00:10:40.160 and I argue
00:10:41.080 that the same thing
00:10:41.820 sort of happening
00:10:42.280 within the Liberal Party.
00:10:43.840 So people
00:10:44.740 that actually do
00:10:45.360 a little bit of research
00:10:46.220 into the parties,
00:10:47.180 they're starting
00:10:48.140 to realize
00:10:48.680 that those parties
00:10:49.300 no longer represent
00:10:50.160 their value set
00:10:50.880 and, you know,
00:10:53.200 Rust on Red
00:10:54.020 or Blue
00:10:54.380 no matter who,
00:10:55.200 they won't vote
00:10:56.200 for their nemesis
00:10:57.040 if you know what I mean.
00:10:57.740 It's a bit of a cult
00:10:58.560 and you will never
00:10:59.140 get a bomber supporter
00:11:00.120 to Barrickford Collingwood.
00:11:01.320 It's the same concept.
00:11:02.720 So, you know,
00:11:03.760 One Nation offers
00:11:04.480 a palatable
00:11:05.440 third party alternative
00:11:06.500 for those people
00:11:07.340 and look,
00:11:08.500 as I said,
00:11:09.080 traction is building
00:11:09.860 all over the state.
00:11:11.200 Our membership's
00:11:11.840 the highest it's ever been
00:11:12.760 and it's fastest
00:11:13.380 growing in the country.
00:11:15.000 How many people
00:11:15.460 are you running?
00:11:15.880 I wouldn't do
00:11:16.640 any contributing factors,
00:11:17.840 mate,
00:11:18.060 but yeah,
00:11:18.560 there doesn't seem
00:11:19.480 to be an end in sight.
00:11:20.920 How many people
00:11:23.040 are you running
00:11:23.460 in this election
00:11:24.080 in Victoria?
00:11:26.120 So we're running
00:11:27.140 a full suite
00:11:27.680 of candidates.
00:11:29.240 I would have liked
00:11:30.220 to have had
00:11:30.660 an active candidate
00:11:31.580 in every seat,
00:11:32.380 so we've had
00:11:32.760 expressions of interest
00:11:33.720 open for almost
00:11:34.520 12 months.
00:11:35.960 But as you well know,
00:11:37.220 mate,
00:11:37.380 it doesn't always
00:11:38.120 translate to people
00:11:39.540 throwing their hand up
00:11:40.540 early
00:11:40.820 and all our candidates
00:11:41.940 are self-funded.
00:11:42.720 So everybody's
00:11:44.820 got some skin
00:11:45.320 in the game
00:11:45.780 and I think
00:11:46.880 that helps
00:11:47.400 with people.
00:11:48.120 We are running
00:11:48.540 genuine,
00:11:49.760 passionate people
00:11:50.600 that want to
00:11:51.580 advocate for their
00:11:52.700 communities
00:11:53.300 and they are
00:11:55.460 self-funding.
00:11:57.360 And I think
00:11:58.080 it's important
00:11:58.560 to note
00:11:59.020 that point
00:12:00.300 because it's
00:12:00.940 easy to throw
00:12:01.580 a big bundle
00:12:02.500 of cash up
00:12:03.180 and find some
00:12:04.520 corporate sponsorship
00:12:05.400 and be a bit
00:12:06.480 of a sellout
00:12:07.100 and just throw money
00:12:08.000 at candidates
00:12:08.520 who speak well.
00:12:09.460 But we don't
00:12:09.960 want that.
00:12:10.420 We want real
00:12:10.820 people from the
00:12:11.360 real world
00:12:11.780 to represent
00:12:12.180 our community.
00:12:13.100 That's what's
00:12:13.600 missing in politics
00:12:14.360 right now.
00:12:15.520 These people
00:12:16.640 that represent us
00:12:17.900 claim to have
00:12:18.380 a finger on the
00:12:18.940 pulse of the
00:12:19.360 working class
00:12:19.860 community.
00:12:20.660 They've got no
00:12:21.060 idea.
00:12:21.720 They've come
00:12:22.740 through the best
00:12:23.660 schools,
00:12:24.100 which is not
00:12:24.460 their fault
00:12:24.900 obviously,
00:12:25.500 and then fallen
00:12:26.680 into safe
00:12:27.300 Labor and
00:12:27.680 Liberal seats
00:12:28.300 and all they've
00:12:29.600 ever done is
00:12:30.140 public service.
00:12:31.260 They've been
00:12:31.700 public servants
00:12:32.320 since they left
00:12:32.920 school and they've
00:12:33.880 never put kids
00:12:34.460 through a public
00:12:34.900 school system.
00:12:35.600 They've never
00:12:35.920 owned a small
00:12:36.380 business.
00:12:37.100 They've never
00:12:37.420 done any of the
00:12:38.040 things that we do
00:12:38.680 on the daily.
00:12:39.240 Although I hear
00:12:39.720 the ads of Peter
00:12:40.460 Dutton.
00:12:40.640 We're saying it
00:12:40.980 in their own
00:12:41.460 fiscal literacy
00:12:42.300 and poor economic
00:12:43.340 management.
00:12:44.080 They've got no
00:12:44.720 idea.
00:12:45.600 Have you heard
00:12:45.980 the Peter Dutton
00:12:47.360 ad that's been
00:12:48.560 playing at the
00:12:49.140 moment where he
00:12:50.620 says, when I was
00:12:52.300 a police officer,
00:12:53.780 I, I can't
00:12:56.560 remember where he's,
00:12:57.060 he's pointing out
00:12:57.760 he used to be a
00:12:58.340 police officer.
00:12:59.220 He owned a
00:13:00.100 business and
00:13:00.820 he's trying to
00:13:02.260 relate.
00:13:02.460 My dad was a
00:13:04.360 bricklayer.
00:13:05.040 Okay.
00:13:06.200 That doesn't
00:13:06.900 translate anything to
00:13:07.860 you, mate.
00:13:08.260 Like, you
00:13:09.120 know, and you
00:13:09.420 grew up in a
00:13:09.820 working class
00:13:10.280 house.
00:13:10.620 I got it.
00:13:11.820 Yeah.
00:13:12.580 So tell me,
00:13:13.880 this is your
00:13:14.240 second, now,
00:13:15.140 second election
00:13:15.800 that you're,
00:13:17.060 you're, you're
00:13:18.020 kind of leading
00:13:18.600 the One Nation
00:13:19.480 party here.
00:13:21.120 Is that right?
00:13:22.380 Yeah.
00:13:22.700 Yeah.
00:13:22.900 Correct.
00:13:23.540 Yeah.
00:13:23.720 State spokesperson.
00:13:25.140 Look, and
00:13:26.360 I've, it's been
00:13:28.000 very rewarding,
00:13:29.180 actually, screening
00:13:30.100 candidates and
00:13:30.860 finding candidates
00:13:31.560 to run it and
00:13:32.440 trying to inspire
00:13:33.260 people to run.
00:13:34.620 And effectively,
00:13:35.620 I've found people
00:13:36.460 that have joined
00:13:37.420 for the same
00:13:37.960 reason that I
00:13:38.560 have, that run
00:13:39.180 for the same
00:13:39.660 reason I am.
00:13:41.340 You know, I've
00:13:41.840 got no interest
00:13:42.440 in self-promotion.
00:13:43.280 I'm bloody
00:13:43.560 terrible at it,
00:13:44.260 mate.
00:13:44.420 You've probably
00:13:44.720 seen my socials.
00:13:45.540 They're useless.
00:13:47.320 You know, and
00:13:48.020 most of these
00:13:48.500 people are the
00:13:49.020 same.
00:13:49.360 They're just
00:13:49.620 working class
00:13:50.260 people that
00:13:50.740 have no desire
00:13:51.560 to be, you
00:13:52.560 know, the
00:13:52.820 center of
00:13:53.180 anything but
00:13:53.640 their own
00:13:53.920 private universe.
00:13:54.820 But we
00:13:55.020 can't, in
00:13:55.980 good conscience,
00:13:56.960 sit back and
00:13:57.580 do nothing while
00:13:59.060 our country
00:13:59.900 continues to go
00:14:00.680 to the dogs.
00:14:01.180 And I think
00:14:01.620 we are on the
00:14:02.280 precipice of
00:14:02.840 social economic
00:14:03.560 collapse.
00:14:04.260 And my
00:14:04.840 daughter's just
00:14:05.340 turned 21.
00:14:06.840 And she has
00:14:08.400 nowhere near the
00:14:09.320 same opportunities
00:14:10.020 that I had at
00:14:10.700 21, just 21
00:14:11.960 years ago.
00:14:12.720 And we're
00:14:13.860 having an
00:14:14.220 response to
00:14:14.940 all get to do
00:14:15.400 something about
00:14:15.900 that, mate.
00:14:17.600 I'm still
00:14:18.260 getting over the
00:14:18.880 fact that you
00:14:19.240 have a 21
00:14:19.740 year old.
00:14:22.500 She's actually
00:14:23.080 running.
00:14:24.120 Oh, is she
00:14:24.520 running?
00:14:25.640 Yeah, yeah,
00:14:26.220 yeah.
00:14:28.620 She works in
00:14:29.280 a pub.
00:14:29.660 It's interesting.
00:14:30.140 So I've got a
00:14:31.340 different take on
00:14:32.240 the younger
00:14:32.700 generation than
00:14:33.340 most people do.
00:14:34.160 Firstly, I was
00:14:34.760 forced to eat
00:14:35.220 humble pie when
00:14:35.920 I was in the
00:14:36.400 army as a
00:14:36.880 non-commissioned
00:14:37.420 officer.
00:14:37.900 And some of
00:14:38.580 my younger
00:14:39.020 soldiers coming
00:14:39.640 from various
00:14:40.460 regions, I
00:14:40.980 wanted to be,
00:14:42.000 I didn't want
00:14:42.500 to be, but I
00:14:43.000 did adopt some
00:14:44.520 of the
00:14:44.740 stereotypical
00:14:45.440 behaviours.
00:14:46.060 Nah, this
00:14:46.460 bloody young
00:14:46.980 generation,
00:14:47.580 mate, they're
00:14:47.880 useless.
00:14:48.340 But I was
00:14:49.040 forced to eat
00:14:49.520 humble pie.
00:14:50.280 A lot of
00:14:50.820 them, specifically
00:14:51.400 from different
00:14:51.940 areas, were
00:14:52.520 very switched,
00:14:54.040 very on
00:14:54.520 point, and
00:14:55.060 yeah, very
00:14:57.320 much non-reflective
00:14:58.320 of what I've
00:14:59.060 been exposed
00:15:00.140 to in, say,
00:15:01.220 metro
00:15:01.460 Victoria or
00:15:02.180 whatnot.
00:15:03.460 Now, my
00:15:04.060 daughter, she
00:15:04.480 works in pubs,
00:15:05.440 and it's
00:15:06.160 interesting.
00:15:06.700 She tells me
00:15:07.140 all the time,
00:15:07.580 she goes, I
00:15:07.900 think you'll
00:15:08.320 find most
00:15:09.120 young people
00:15:09.900 are conservative
00:15:12.120 and don't even
00:15:13.160 know it yet.
00:15:13.980 Yeah.
00:15:14.720 You know, our
00:15:15.000 elected member,
00:15:15.660 Ricky Lee
00:15:16.060 Tyrrell and
00:15:16.420 myself, going
00:15:17.060 out and doing
00:15:17.480 events, especially
00:15:18.220 in the regions.
00:15:18.940 We have a lot
00:15:19.440 of young people
00:15:19.960 come up, and I
00:15:21.700 give them
00:15:21.960 One Nation
00:15:22.380 shirts under
00:15:23.020 the proviso
00:15:23.880 that they wear
00:15:24.520 around for the
00:15:25.420 rest of the
00:15:25.800 day, or a
00:15:26.260 One Nation
00:15:26.620 cap.
00:15:27.000 Yeah, mate,
00:15:27.400 you can have
00:15:27.840 it.
00:15:28.320 You've got to
00:15:28.640 wear it all
00:15:29.080 day at this
00:15:29.600 event, and it's
00:15:30.120 fantastic.
00:15:30.840 We get them
00:15:31.600 involved, and
00:15:32.460 it's great.
00:15:33.380 But a lot of
00:15:34.060 these young
00:15:34.860 kids, especially
00:15:35.460 the young
00:15:35.880 lads, are
00:15:36.640 doing a
00:15:40.360 backflip.
00:15:40.860 So you know
00:15:41.200 how you always
00:15:41.820 have a rebellion
00:15:43.020 against your
00:15:43.540 parents' value
00:15:44.180 sets?
00:15:44.640 You know, we
00:15:44.880 had the punts in
00:15:45.600 the 80s, and
00:15:46.180 then the goths in
00:15:46.820 the 90s, or
00:15:47.420 whatever else.
00:15:48.300 Now there seems
00:15:49.040 to be a rebellion
00:15:49.960 back towards
00:15:50.880 conservative value
00:15:52.020 sets amongst
00:15:52.540 young people.
00:15:53.100 They don't
00:15:53.640 give a damn
00:15:54.180 about people's
00:15:54.860 sexuality, or
00:15:55.640 their gender, or
00:15:56.240 any of this
00:15:56.640 crap.
00:15:57.160 They've had a
00:15:57.580 gutful of the
00:15:58.100 woke ideology
00:15:58.820 that's been
00:15:59.340 rammed down
00:15:59.840 their throats
00:16:00.340 by their
00:16:00.720 millennial parents
00:16:01.520 and their
00:16:01.860 millennial school
00:16:02.740 teachers, and
00:16:03.540 all they want
00:16:04.160 to see is a
00:16:05.240 world where they
00:16:05.740 can have stable
00:16:06.960 employment and
00:16:07.940 buy a house
00:16:08.540 before they're
00:16:09.020 30, and they're
00:16:09.520 not seeing that.
00:16:10.480 So while they're
00:16:11.240 not necessarily
00:16:12.000 engaged in the
00:16:12.620 political sphere yet,
00:16:14.040 I'm very
00:16:14.680 optimistic for the
00:16:15.420 future that that
00:16:16.080 entire generation
00:16:17.240 are rebelling
00:16:18.140 against the woke
00:16:19.180 ideology and,
00:16:20.080 yeah, adopting
00:16:21.440 conservative principles
00:16:23.040 in some sort
00:16:24.000 of strange
00:16:24.900 generational
00:16:25.760 rebellion.
00:16:26.580 It's great.
00:16:27.440 How did the
00:16:28.120 conversation of
00:16:28.740 getting your
00:16:29.140 daughter to
00:16:29.800 run, how did
00:16:30.500 that go?
00:16:31.340 Has she been
00:16:31.800 politically involved?
00:16:32.920 Has she been
00:16:33.180 part of what
00:16:33.640 you've been
00:16:33.940 doing?
00:16:35.100 And how's
00:16:35.420 her mum feel
00:16:36.000 about it?
00:16:36.660 The whole way
00:16:38.180 she's been a
00:16:38.720 part of it.
00:16:39.180 Is this like a
00:16:39.660 family thing?
00:16:41.140 She already ran
00:16:41.860 as a number two
00:16:42.580 on Ricky Lee
00:16:43.160 Tyrrell's seat in
00:16:43.900 Northern Victoria so
00:16:44.880 that we could
00:16:45.300 obviously on the
00:16:45.960 ballot label get
00:16:46.600 Ricky Lee's name
00:16:47.500 above.
00:16:48.480 There's no chance
00:16:49.200 of being elected
00:16:49.800 from that position
00:16:50.540 or, you know,
00:16:51.380 it's an absolute
00:16:52.160 broad increase
00:16:52.760 chance.
00:16:53.320 So she had that
00:16:55.220 little piece of
00:16:55.820 exposure there and
00:16:57.180 this time she just
00:16:58.120 said, yep, throw me
00:16:59.040 down, Dad, I'm
00:16:59.600 keen for it.
00:17:00.480 So look, if this is
00:17:01.740 what it takes to get
00:17:02.520 young people involved
00:17:03.340 then so be it.
00:17:04.080 We get their names
00:17:04.900 on ballot papers,
00:17:05.680 we get their faces
00:17:06.260 on core flutes,
00:17:06.960 we get them out
00:17:07.460 there speaking to
00:17:08.100 the community,
00:17:08.680 engaging with the
00:17:09.240 community.
00:17:11.800 Look, it might
00:17:12.300 take 10 years
00:17:13.020 before she takes
00:17:14.480 it serious.
00:17:15.320 No, absolutely
00:17:15.820 not.
00:17:16.160 She's tough as
00:17:16.840 nails, mate.
00:17:17.300 She's, yeah, she's
00:17:19.420 different, my
00:17:21.980 daughter.
00:17:22.340 She's very
00:17:22.640 different.
00:17:23.140 She's probably
00:17:24.120 not that I don't,
00:17:26.420 not that I lack
00:17:27.060 emotional maturity,
00:17:27.980 mate, but I think
00:17:28.580 she's an old soul
00:17:29.300 that one.
00:17:29.760 She's, yeah, probably
00:17:31.000 more emotionally
00:17:31.620 mature than I ever
00:17:32.440 was.
00:17:33.560 And tell me,
00:17:34.340 compared to last
00:17:35.120 election that you
00:17:35.900 ran, was there
00:17:36.380 anything in the last
00:17:37.080 election that you
00:17:37.640 ran that you
00:17:38.080 learnt, that you
00:17:39.780 feel like you
00:17:40.200 didn't do so well
00:17:41.660 and you learnt
00:17:42.580 off that?
00:17:45.420 Yeah, look,
00:17:45.980 definitely, I'd
00:17:47.900 say it's more
00:17:48.760 about staying on
00:17:49.780 message than
00:17:50.500 anything.
00:17:51.020 I think there
00:17:52.400 was a lot, there
00:17:54.900 was a lot of
00:17:55.780 emotionally charged
00:17:57.120 events and, and
00:17:59.360 speaking points and
00:18:00.620 whatnot in the
00:18:01.420 build up to the
00:18:02.000 last election, you
00:18:03.020 know, post-COVID
00:18:03.800 whatnot.
00:18:04.260 Post-COVID.
00:18:04.780 I think every
00:18:05.380 event I attended,
00:18:06.460 and I had no
00:18:06.900 exposure to doing
00:18:07.640 these things
00:18:08.020 previously, you
00:18:08.740 know, I trained
00:18:09.500 military staff before
00:18:11.000 at RMC and
00:18:12.100 whatnot, but I
00:18:13.200 hadn't, you
00:18:14.040 know, been to
00:18:14.500 these events where
00:18:15.180 people were
00:18:15.640 constantly shouting
00:18:16.480 out or trying to
00:18:18.000 express their
00:18:18.500 opinions through
00:18:19.100 their own, you
00:18:20.600 know, emotional
00:18:21.100 channels.
00:18:21.760 And that was so
00:18:22.720 emotionally charged
00:18:23.620 that just that
00:18:24.280 time in general.
00:18:25.120 And I think as a
00:18:25.960 result, there was a
00:18:27.000 lot of focus on
00:18:28.680 specific things.
00:18:31.420 And if you didn't
00:18:32.620 articulate yourself
00:18:33.560 a particular way,
00:18:34.460 then people decided
00:18:35.600 they were off you.
00:18:36.440 And I don't know,
00:18:37.460 I just feel like
00:18:38.900 this time around,
00:18:39.800 we know what
00:18:40.320 people want.
00:18:41.260 People are
00:18:41.720 struggling economically.
00:18:43.280 We thought people
00:18:43.820 were going to wake
00:18:44.520 up and pay more
00:18:45.380 attention to the
00:18:46.580 political sphere
00:18:47.240 after COVID and
00:18:48.280 go out and
00:18:48.960 actively educate
00:18:49.760 themselves on how
00:18:50.600 best to achieve
00:18:52.060 good outcomes
00:18:52.940 through the voting
00:18:54.080 process, but that
00:18:54.960 didn't occur.
00:18:55.620 And I think this
00:18:56.100 time around, people
00:18:56.780 really are.
00:18:57.660 People have
00:18:58.200 started to realize
00:18:59.200 that, you know,
00:19:00.960 a vote for the
00:19:01.560 major parties is
00:19:02.480 simply an invitation
00:19:03.300 to be delivered
00:19:04.000 more of the same.
00:19:04.780 And people have
00:19:05.380 finally had a gut
00:19:06.140 ful of that and
00:19:06.860 they are looking
00:19:07.420 for an alternative.
00:19:08.080 So it becomes
00:19:09.480 easier for us
00:19:10.520 as a political
00:19:11.820 party representative
00:19:12.820 to target those
00:19:14.800 people with
00:19:15.400 accurate messaging.
00:19:17.580 And it's, look,
00:19:18.520 I think the majors
00:19:19.320 are missing the
00:19:19.860 point again.
00:19:20.380 They've just not
00:19:21.020 read the room
00:19:21.600 because all you
00:19:22.620 really need is
00:19:23.240 good economic
00:19:23.880 policy.
00:19:24.800 And nobody else
00:19:25.680 seems to have a
00:19:26.720 suite of good
00:19:27.200 economic policy
00:19:28.720 except for One
00:19:29.260 Nation this time
00:19:29.860 around.
00:19:30.100 Recently there
00:19:32.820 has been, I
00:19:33.400 know, a bit of
00:19:33.780 controversy online
00:19:34.700 and it's funny
00:19:35.440 that you say
00:19:35.860 that you've
00:19:37.000 actually grown
00:19:37.900 because I know
00:19:38.960 that online
00:19:39.580 and I know
00:19:40.840 that online is
00:19:41.520 often not
00:19:42.580 necessarily
00:19:43.080 reflective of
00:19:44.240 reality, but
00:19:45.940 online there
00:19:46.920 has been
00:19:47.360 campaigns against
00:19:49.080 One Nation,
00:19:51.680 often for reasons
00:19:53.120 that I actually
00:19:53.620 support One
00:19:54.320 Nation even
00:19:54.800 more so now
00:19:55.520 because I
00:19:55.840 realize how
00:19:56.320 principal Pauline
00:19:57.760 Hanson actually
00:19:58.560 has turned out
00:19:59.640 to be,
00:20:00.680 although many
00:20:01.260 of us could
00:20:01.680 see that.
00:20:02.100 I could see it
00:20:02.460 a few years
00:20:02.900 ago, but I
00:20:03.440 think, honestly,
00:20:04.800 since October 7
00:20:05.500 it's been really
00:20:06.180 clear to see
00:20:06.840 who's principled
00:20:07.840 and who's
00:20:08.700 captured by
00:20:09.200 their crowd,
00:20:10.060 who's going to
00:20:10.600 follow, instead
00:20:11.620 of leading the
00:20:13.140 policy discussion
00:20:15.980 and the direction
00:20:17.700 of the party's
00:20:18.520 policy, they
00:20:19.040 instead completely
00:20:20.980 listen to, a bit
00:20:22.840 like how you
00:20:23.240 described the
00:20:23.880 loudest, what
00:20:25.280 did you call
00:20:25.580 them, the
00:20:25.820 squeakiest,
00:20:26.440 loudest
00:20:26.980 minority.
00:20:29.640 in the
00:20:30.400 party, but
00:20:31.240 One Nation
00:20:31.920 even had that
00:20:33.440 too, those
00:20:34.100 people that
00:20:34.620 would jump
00:20:36.340 up and down
00:20:36.880 and scream
00:20:37.480 and you'd
00:20:38.920 see them
00:20:39.280 online and
00:20:39.920 then they
00:20:40.200 would condemn,
00:20:41.560 so if One
00:20:44.640 Nation really
00:20:45.000 has grown in
00:20:45.540 that period,
00:20:46.000 that's an
00:20:46.260 amazing thing
00:20:46.900 because that's
00:20:47.340 not what it
00:20:48.360 was portrayed
00:20:48.960 online, but
00:20:49.960 there were a
00:20:50.360 couple of
00:20:50.640 things, one
00:20:52.320 that I
00:20:52.680 certainly support
00:20:53.400 is One
00:20:54.480 Nation's
00:20:54.880 stance,
00:20:55.300 obviously,
00:20:55.580 with respect
00:20:56.680 to Israel
00:20:58.000 Gaza, Pauline
00:21:00.240 Hanson's
00:21:00.740 position on
00:21:01.820 no, we're
00:21:02.760 not going to
00:21:03.060 take the
00:21:03.340 side of
00:21:03.680 Islamists,
00:21:04.240 which, you
00:21:04.920 know what, if
00:21:05.360 you've been
00:21:05.640 following One
00:21:06.180 Nation for a
00:21:06.700 long time, you
00:21:07.160 know how
00:21:07.800 passionate she's
00:21:08.500 felt about that
00:21:09.380 threat for so
00:21:10.100 many years, but
00:21:11.560 having said that,
00:21:12.300 I've seen a lot
00:21:12.860 of people over
00:21:13.580 the last year
00:21:14.280 and a half who
00:21:14.920 I thought had
00:21:15.620 strong principled
00:21:16.700 positions when
00:21:17.900 it came to
00:21:18.740 Islamic jihad and
00:21:21.240 terrorism and the
00:21:22.080 threat Islamism
00:21:23.540 poses on
00:21:24.460 Australia, so
00:21:26.500 there's that one
00:21:26.980 that I obviously
00:21:27.560 support, but
00:21:27.980 then you had
00:21:28.740 the vote
00:21:30.160 recently when
00:21:31.260 it came to
00:21:32.120 the free
00:21:34.100 speech, the
00:21:36.800 hate crimes
00:21:37.300 bill, that's
00:21:37.960 right, and
00:21:39.040 that caused a
00:21:40.340 bit of a
00:21:40.960 stir online where
00:21:42.300 people didn't
00:21:42.720 even understand,
00:21:44.600 including myself,
00:21:45.180 I didn't
00:21:45.580 understand what
00:21:47.660 the position of
00:21:48.560 One Nation
00:21:49.580 actually was,
00:21:50.120 because they
00:21:50.680 abstained from
00:21:51.580 the vote instead
00:21:53.100 of voting against
00:21:53.900 it or with
00:21:54.300 it, did
00:21:56.080 that affect you
00:21:59.000 at all in
00:22:00.380 the party
00:22:00.840 really, or was
00:22:02.440 that just
00:22:02.760 internet noise?
00:22:04.120 Were there
00:22:04.380 members that
00:22:05.040 were upset
00:22:05.540 about that?
00:22:05.960 I've got a
00:22:06.380 couple of
00:22:06.820 questions, so
00:22:07.160 I'll elaborate
00:22:07.780 just on a
00:22:08.300 couple of
00:22:08.620 background pieces
00:22:10.020 here as well.
00:22:10.800 So firstly, with
00:22:13.300 regard to being
00:22:13.960 firm in your
00:22:14.420 convictions and
00:22:15.700 backing up your
00:22:19.160 positions on
00:22:20.040 things publicly,
00:22:21.840 people, so
00:22:22.260 when you talk
00:22:23.160 about a lot
00:22:23.680 of people
00:22:24.100 that you
00:22:25.520 lost respect
00:22:26.420 for, that
00:22:26.740 you previously
00:22:27.220 thought had a
00:22:27.840 firm conviction
00:22:28.440 or a firm
00:22:28.900 position on
00:22:29.400 something and
00:22:29.820 then it turned
00:22:30.220 out they
00:22:30.500 really didn't
00:22:31.080 specifically after
00:22:31.920 October 7.
00:22:33.120 And I think
00:22:33.840 that goes back
00:22:35.180 to specifically
00:22:36.520 the major
00:22:37.020 parties.
00:22:37.400 We see it a
00:22:37.900 lot.
00:22:40.160 They compromise
00:22:41.380 their convictions
00:22:43.760 in an effort
00:22:44.380 to accommodate
00:22:45.760 the vocal
00:22:46.680 left, those that
00:22:47.980 jump up and
00:22:48.500 down and make the
00:22:49.040 most noise.
00:22:50.100 And they do
00:22:50.700 it to their
00:22:51.000 own detriment.
00:22:51.680 They just seem
00:22:52.220 to think that
00:22:52.660 those extremely
00:22:53.320 vocal minorities
00:22:54.360 are the
00:22:54.980 truth.
00:22:55.600 We've seen it
00:22:56.140 in the minor
00:22:56.640 parties as well
00:22:57.680 to different
00:22:58.480 degrees and
00:22:59.060 maybe they're
00:22:59.940 not capitulating
00:23:00.780 to the vocal
00:23:01.940 left.
00:23:02.320 They could also
00:23:02.800 nowadays be
00:23:04.620 trying to appease
00:23:05.580 that new, what
00:23:06.800 we like to call
00:23:07.700 the new woke
00:23:08.400 right within
00:23:09.420 their parties or
00:23:11.060 the woke, they
00:23:12.580 feel like if we
00:23:13.580 go down that way
00:23:14.320 we can appeal to
00:23:15.180 the woke
00:23:15.560 right.
00:23:17.040 Yeah, well
00:23:17.600 they do and
00:23:18.100 they are, we've
00:23:19.040 seen in the
00:23:19.500 Liberal Party
00:23:20.040 and I mean I
00:23:20.620 specifically use
00:23:21.720 Peter Dutton as
00:23:22.420 an example to a
00:23:23.400 certain point.
00:23:24.000 Peter Dutton
00:23:24.400 five years ago
00:23:25.120 immigration
00:23:25.560 minister, I
00:23:26.360 really liked him
00:23:27.360 back then, I
00:23:27.780 thought he was
00:23:28.080 great, whereas
00:23:28.620 now we seem to
00:23:29.760 be getting this
00:23:30.260 watered down
00:23:30.800 version of
00:23:31.300 Peter Dutton
00:23:31.780 and I think
00:23:32.140 it always
00:23:32.440 happens.
00:23:33.960 But that's
00:23:35.000 why you need a
00:23:35.500 minority, one
00:23:36.240 nation, that's
00:23:37.180 why you need
00:23:37.720 something like a
00:23:38.300 minority.
00:23:39.680 So whether it's
00:23:40.640 external to your
00:23:41.340 own party or
00:23:41.840 whether it's
00:23:42.180 internal, it's
00:23:43.120 capitulation of
00:23:43.960 your value set to
00:23:44.760 a certain extent.
00:23:45.660 Look, and as
00:23:47.780 far as damaging
00:23:50.040 ourselves as a
00:23:50.900 party, look, yeah,
00:23:51.920 the flow and
00:23:52.340 implications of the
00:23:53.420 vote on the hate
00:23:54.420 speech bill hurt us,
00:23:56.060 it was a problem.
00:23:56.980 But I think, again,
00:23:58.380 it was that
00:23:58.900 emotionally charged
00:23:59.840 space.
00:24:00.780 Now, I've just
00:24:02.340 sort of detracted
00:24:03.260 myself from the
00:24:03.980 discussion at the
00:24:04.640 time on social
00:24:05.300 media because it
00:24:06.480 is still the
00:24:07.080 echo chamber, the
00:24:07.800 educated mate, you
00:24:08.660 know as well as I
00:24:09.360 do it is.
00:24:09.780 It's the same
00:24:10.280 200,000 people that
00:24:11.460 follow Senator
00:24:12.400 Hanson, that
00:24:12.960 follow Malcolm
00:24:14.280 Roberts, that
00:24:14.720 follow Ralph
00:24:15.220 Babette, that
00:24:15.720 follow, you
00:24:16.480 know, Gerard
00:24:16.940 Rennick, it's
00:24:17.700 the same 200,000,
00:24:18.900 300,000 people
00:24:19.880 across the
00:24:20.320 country.
00:24:20.840 And it's great
00:24:21.520 that they are
00:24:22.100 staying politically
00:24:22.800 involved and
00:24:23.620 active, but it
00:24:24.840 is the echo
00:24:25.400 chamber of the
00:24:26.060 educated and if
00:24:26.880 you allow that to
00:24:27.680 determine which
00:24:28.460 way you're going
00:24:29.060 to, you know,
00:24:30.060 swing your
00:24:30.780 opinions, well,
00:24:31.840 then you weren't
00:24:32.260 originally formulating
00:24:33.660 your opinions
00:24:34.260 based on conviction
00:24:35.240 anyway, were you?
00:24:36.460 So, look, and
00:24:37.700 I think as
00:24:39.880 Senator Hanson
00:24:40.760 has always been a
00:24:41.820 staunch advocate
00:24:42.500 for both the
00:24:43.380 state of Israel
00:24:44.140 and the Jewish
00:24:45.040 people and
00:24:46.160 One Nation will
00:24:46.720 continue to be
00:24:47.420 that and continue
00:24:48.060 to play that
00:24:48.600 role.
00:24:49.220 You know, we
00:24:49.500 have no fear
00:24:50.780 of, you know,
00:24:52.560 those who
00:24:53.600 purvey
00:24:54.380 anti-Semitism,
00:24:55.360 especially here
00:24:55.820 in Victoria.
00:24:57.720 Yeah, we will
00:24:58.260 not be silenced
00:24:59.900 by these people.
00:25:01.620 She certainly
00:25:02.220 hasn't.
00:25:03.060 She's been the
00:25:03.800 first to stand
00:25:04.260 up.
00:25:04.820 With the hate
00:25:05.520 speech bill,
00:25:07.420 how did you
00:25:08.080 feel about that?
00:25:08.860 Look, I get
00:25:11.480 people that
00:25:12.300 were emotionally
00:25:14.380 enraged as a
00:25:15.240 result of One
00:25:17.060 Nation abstaining
00:25:17.740 from their vote,
00:25:18.340 but they've got to
00:25:18.880 also understand
00:25:19.960 because Senator
00:25:21.140 Hanson and One
00:25:21.820 Nation have
00:25:22.300 always been such
00:25:23.080 large, staunch
00:25:23.900 advocates for the
00:25:25.180 state of Israel
00:25:25.860 and the Jewish
00:25:27.200 people.
00:25:27.220 But why did
00:25:27.700 they abstain?
00:25:28.420 Well, it was in
00:25:30.420 the face of the
00:25:31.000 anti-Semitism that
00:25:31.940 was effectively, you
00:25:33.600 know, plaguing the
00:25:34.340 entire country.
00:25:35.200 So, on the one
00:25:36.920 hand, you have
00:25:37.560 One Nation who
00:25:38.580 want to continue
00:25:40.360 to support that
00:25:41.180 community, but then
00:25:41.980 you also see a
00:25:43.340 knee-jerk reaction
00:25:44.100 from the government
00:25:44.760 which was the
00:25:45.700 pretense for
00:25:46.640 proposing this
00:25:47.480 bill in the
00:25:47.920 first place.
00:25:49.000 So, it didn't
00:25:49.560 want to just
00:25:49.940 outright vote on
00:25:50.860 it.
00:25:51.060 I suspected it
00:25:52.960 was something along
00:25:53.500 those lines, but
00:25:54.520 you know, I
00:25:55.200 personally think they
00:25:56.740 should have voted
00:25:57.200 against it.
00:25:58.820 You know, it's
00:25:59.360 easy for me to say
00:26:00.000 that sitting here
00:26:00.700 as a Jew.
00:26:02.220 I just don't
00:26:02.660 think the hate
00:26:03.100 bill, any of
00:26:03.900 these hate
00:26:04.860 bill legislations
00:26:05.980 are ever helpful.
00:26:07.040 The one thing
00:26:07.500 that I thought
00:26:08.240 when I was
00:26:08.780 looking at the
00:26:09.540 legislation, the
00:26:10.260 part that I
00:26:11.080 would have felt
00:26:11.620 certainly conflicted
00:26:14.380 about from the
00:26:15.380 One Nation
00:26:15.720 position and my
00:26:16.420 own position
00:26:16.940 would be I'm
00:26:19.060 pro the
00:26:19.620 what was it?
00:26:22.300 The minimum
00:26:23.300 mandatory minimum
00:26:24.500 sentence for
00:26:25.580 terrorism, right?
00:26:26.600 And that's
00:26:27.120 something that I
00:26:28.120 know Paul and
00:26:28.580 Hanson's spoke,
00:26:29.720 but they're
00:26:30.180 conflating all
00:26:30.840 these issues.
00:26:31.280 That's specifically
00:26:32.000 one of the
00:26:32.580 components that
00:26:33.500 Senator Roberts
00:26:34.380 and Senator
00:26:34.880 Hanson really
00:26:35.640 wanted to hash
00:26:36.580 out.
00:26:37.320 That's why they
00:26:38.060 were requesting
00:26:38.680 to debate.
00:26:40.140 And when that
00:26:40.440 was guillotined,
00:26:41.220 that's when we
00:26:41.720 saw Senator
00:26:42.520 Roberts really
00:26:43.160 get frustrated
00:26:43.820 and go, well,
00:26:44.340 bugger it,
00:26:44.720 what's the
00:26:45.000 bloody point?
00:26:45.820 This is an
00:26:46.260 absolute stitch
00:26:46.880 up.
00:26:47.140 And I
00:26:47.340 understand his
00:26:47.960 position there.
00:26:49.060 You know, I
00:26:50.340 think half an
00:26:50.940 education is
00:26:51.620 sometimes more
00:26:52.260 dangerous than
00:26:52.900 no education
00:26:53.600 at all.
00:26:54.420 And a lot of
00:26:55.080 people that were
00:26:55.640 half educated were
00:26:56.540 out there purveying
00:26:57.280 this myth that
00:26:57.980 One Nation voted
00:26:58.780 against free speech.
00:27:00.320 Firstly, it was
00:27:00.800 hate crimes bill.
00:27:01.720 Secondly, there
00:27:02.200 was components in
00:27:02.880 the bill that
00:27:03.560 really did need to
00:27:04.480 be discussed in
00:27:05.380 Parliament.
00:27:06.140 And we do need to
00:27:07.020 create robust dialogue
00:27:08.000 around these topics.
00:27:09.120 And if we can't do
00:27:09.740 it in Parliament,
00:27:10.380 where the bloody
00:27:10.760 hell can we do it
00:27:11.500 for a start?
00:27:12.520 Now, secondly, a
00:27:14.220 lot of people were
00:27:14.860 resharing that
00:27:15.660 information when the
00:27:16.440 reality was even if
00:27:17.920 both Senators
00:27:18.760 Hanson and Roberts
00:27:19.660 had a vote on that
00:27:20.500 bill, it would have
00:27:20.980 made zero difference
00:27:21.780 when you looked at
00:27:22.320 the vote, the numbers
00:27:23.300 anyway, which they
00:27:23.940 were well aware of.
00:27:25.160 Yeah, it is
00:27:26.120 frustrating that that
00:27:26.960 information, you
00:27:28.420 know, was shared
00:27:29.220 around the way it
00:27:29.900 was.
00:27:30.120 I had people that
00:27:31.460 were, I was
00:27:32.440 speaking to about
00:27:33.000 potential candidacy
00:27:33.900 at the time, but
00:27:34.500 then pulled their
00:27:35.280 name out of the
00:27:35.760 hat and said, well,
00:27:36.240 that's it, I'm not
00:27:36.780 going to vote for
00:27:37.280 the party that, you
00:27:38.280 know, run for a
00:27:38.900 party that doesn't
00:27:40.120 advocate for free
00:27:40.860 speech.
00:27:41.260 I'm like, are you
00:27:41.580 kidding?
00:27:42.120 One Nation has
00:27:42.780 been the most
00:27:43.720 staunch advocate for
00:27:44.660 free speech in this
00:27:45.500 country for the last
00:27:46.220 25 years, you know?
00:27:48.000 Anyway, it was
00:27:48.840 frustrating, mate, and
00:27:49.620 it did hurt, but
00:27:50.360 the reality is I
00:27:51.420 think most people see
00:27:52.280 through it and most
00:27:53.320 people understand that
00:27:54.300 One Nation still to
00:27:55.600 this day is the
00:27:57.400 biggest minor party
00:27:58.400 with firm conviction
00:27:59.840 and the only one
00:28:01.200 that is a genuine
00:28:01.780 chance to become the
00:28:02.720 vehicle that's a
00:28:04.740 catalyst for change
00:28:05.440 in this country.
00:28:06.580 So the average
00:28:07.500 person, because I
00:28:08.300 dare say the
00:28:09.140 average person
00:28:09.640 probably doesn't
00:28:10.180 even, and it
00:28:11.680 goes to the point
00:28:12.400 that you made
00:28:12.800 before, where it
00:28:15.040 is the, what do
00:28:16.140 you call them?
00:28:16.660 The educated?
00:28:18.900 Echo chamber of
00:28:19.660 the educator.
00:28:20.200 The echo chamber
00:28:20.860 of the educator.
00:28:21.560 I like that.
00:28:22.240 That's a good
00:28:23.300 saying, a good way
00:28:24.680 to describe it.
00:28:26.400 But the majority
00:28:27.160 of Australia is not
00:28:28.240 in that echo chamber.
00:28:29.200 The majority, the
00:28:29.760 average person who
00:28:30.760 knows of One Nation
00:28:31.600 probably doesn't know
00:28:32.660 much about the hate
00:28:33.340 crimes bill, doesn't
00:28:34.360 know anything about
00:28:35.360 that, what they do
00:28:37.640 know.
00:28:38.340 What is it from your
00:28:39.500 perspective that they
00:28:40.220 do know about One Nation?
00:28:42.540 Well, it's interesting
00:28:43.320 you raise that point
00:28:44.460 because that's what I
00:28:45.180 see amongst a lot of
00:28:45.980 the other minor parties
00:28:46.820 that, look, I don't
00:28:50.260 blame them, but to a
00:28:51.520 certain extent they want
00:28:52.400 to differentiate
00:28:52.940 themselves and create
00:28:53.880 a name for themselves.
00:28:54.660 So they want, to a
00:28:56.040 certain extent, you
00:28:58.080 know, posture
00:28:58.560 themselves as a party
00:28:59.680 of self-righteousness
00:29:00.700 or whatever else to
00:29:01.640 try and, for some
00:29:03.880 reason, scrap it out
00:29:04.720 over a percentage of
00:29:06.020 the 3% vote instead
00:29:07.280 of expanding the
00:29:08.200 overall voter base and
00:29:09.380 then preferencing
00:29:09.940 internally.
00:29:11.820 And I think we see...
00:29:13.320 Explain that because
00:29:13.880 that's really good.
00:29:14.620 I get what you're
00:29:15.140 saying now.
00:29:16.100 I'm not sure the
00:29:16.580 viewers are
00:29:16.940 understanding what
00:29:17.520 you're saying.
00:29:18.500 I agree with what
00:29:19.220 you just said.
00:29:19.700 A lot of those
00:29:20.360 people, as we alluded
00:29:21.460 to, that are in the
00:29:22.320 echo chamber,
00:29:22.860 the educated, they
00:29:23.700 effectively make up,
00:29:25.940 you know, 2% to 3%
00:29:27.540 of the Australian
00:29:28.160 population and they
00:29:30.280 vote for freedom
00:29:31.520 friendly minor parties.
00:29:33.000 But they'll attack
00:29:34.660 one nation publicly
00:29:35.620 and we've had a bit
00:29:37.020 of this.
00:29:37.440 It's been not too
00:29:38.160 bad and I think we're
00:29:38.720 on top of it because
00:29:39.480 people want to see
00:29:40.200 unity above all else.
00:29:41.880 So they've been making
00:29:42.640 their representatives
00:29:43.300 from minor parties
00:29:44.360 accountable and say,
00:29:45.220 well, no, that's
00:29:45.760 enough of that crap.
00:29:46.740 We want to see you
00:29:47.340 work together, which is
00:29:48.360 great that people are
00:29:49.140 actively doing that,
00:29:50.720 taking apart, actively
00:29:52.580 taking a part in the
00:29:53.480 democratic process.
00:29:54.460 Now, they seem to
00:29:56.660 want to attack one
00:29:57.420 nation as a good
00:29:58.320 strategy to secure
00:29:59.400 1% or 2% or 3% or
00:30:01.420 scrap it out.
00:30:02.100 You're saying other
00:30:02.720 minor parties that are
00:30:03.640 also running.
00:30:04.360 Yeah, yeah.
00:30:04.680 We have seen a bit of
00:30:05.460 that in the past.
00:30:06.000 So basically, they're
00:30:07.080 putting their effort.
00:30:08.500 This is what you're
00:30:09.120 saying.
00:30:10.100 This is what I'm
00:30:10.820 understanding you're
00:30:11.400 saying.
00:30:11.940 They're putting their
00:30:12.600 effort, these other
00:30:13.400 minor parties or
00:30:14.040 different candidates
00:30:14.720 within other minor
00:30:15.420 parties are putting
00:30:16.500 their effort in fighting
00:30:18.560 against one nation.
00:30:19.840 Because I've witnessed
00:30:20.440 this a bit.
00:30:21.740 Or, yeah, fighting
00:30:22.680 against one nation to
00:30:24.940 fight over that 1% to 2%
00:30:27.900 in the 3% that's still
00:30:29.720 up for grabs instead of,
00:30:31.580 what did you say?
00:30:32.100 Instead of growing their
00:30:33.220 voter base beyond the
00:30:34.220 3%.
00:30:34.620 Instead of growing the
00:30:35.260 overall voter base for
00:30:36.460 the freedom and
00:30:36.960 then internally.
00:30:37.780 The freedom and
00:30:38.420 friendly minor party
00:30:39.120 community.
00:30:39.700 But look, and I think
00:30:40.620 they are suffering.
00:30:40.840 And then internally
00:30:41.560 preferencing of that.
00:30:43.380 Yeah.
00:30:43.800 Look, and I think
00:30:44.440 they're suffering the
00:30:45.160 illusion that, you
00:30:46.360 know, there is 4% or
00:30:47.600 5% there to be fought
00:30:49.060 over.
00:30:49.320 But the reality is a
00:30:50.900 large portion of the
00:30:51.780 percentage that people
00:30:52.700 that vote for one
00:30:53.580 nation don't vote for
00:30:54.580 one nation because it's
00:30:55.940 a part of the freedom
00:30:56.580 friendly minor party
00:30:57.500 movement.
00:30:58.660 As you say, as you
00:30:59.360 alluded to, they're not
00:31:00.180 paying attention to the
00:31:01.120 bigger picture.
00:31:01.600 They don't know what the
00:31:02.620 a crimes bill was
00:31:03.580 about.
00:31:03.840 They don't understand
00:31:04.580 that.
00:31:04.880 They're not paying
00:31:05.300 attention to that.
00:31:06.680 A lot of, and I'll
00:31:07.880 say a majority of the
00:31:08.700 one nation voter base
00:31:09.800 vote for one nation
00:31:10.780 because of the work
00:31:11.700 that Senator Pauline
00:31:12.600 Hanson has been doing
00:31:13.480 for the last 25 years.
00:31:14.840 They're voting for
00:31:15.400 Pauline Hanson.
00:31:16.140 Like, I don't suffer
00:31:17.160 the illusion that most
00:31:18.380 of the voters that
00:31:19.380 come to the one
00:31:19.940 nation party in
00:31:20.540 Victoria are voting
00:31:21.200 for Warren Pickering.
00:31:22.220 They don't know who
00:31:22.620 the hell I am.
00:31:23.580 They're voting for the
00:31:24.200 one nation party and
00:31:25.280 the value set that
00:31:26.020 it represents.
00:31:27.180 The brand that they
00:31:27.840 know has, you know,
00:31:30.040 been there at the
00:31:32.860 forefront for all
00:31:33.840 those years and
00:31:35.340 never backed down.
00:31:36.400 In fact, went to
00:31:37.100 jail over it.
00:31:37.920 Like, that's what
00:31:38.820 people are voting for.
00:31:40.600 She's tried and
00:31:41.340 tested and they know
00:31:41.980 and I think that...
00:31:44.000 And this is why we've
00:31:45.100 got certain seats,
00:31:46.100 especially here in
00:31:46.800 Victoria, looking at the
00:31:48.500 numbers where at the
00:31:49.600 last election, as I
00:31:50.580 said, last election, we
00:31:51.500 only ran 15 physical
00:31:52.760 candidates because that's
00:31:53.680 all we could muster.
00:31:54.820 The rest we ran
00:31:55.860 non-active candidates.
00:31:57.160 Now, there's numerous
00:31:59.340 seats around
00:31:59.940 metropolitan Melbourne
00:32:00.780 where we picked up
00:32:01.620 seven, seven and a
00:32:02.320 half percent of the
00:32:03.220 vote.
00:32:03.920 That's incredible out of
00:32:04.940 100 to 110,000 people.
00:32:07.080 Now, they're not voting
00:32:08.340 for a local candidate.
00:32:10.420 They're voting for the
00:32:11.460 one nation brand.
00:32:13.700 Yeah.
00:32:14.700 No, of course.
00:32:16.220 We know that and the
00:32:18.060 one nation brand has
00:32:20.460 been, I guess,
00:32:21.820 consistent and that's
00:32:22.820 what I think that's
00:32:24.060 what people love about
00:32:26.520 and it makes it, you
00:32:27.900 make a good point.
00:32:29.180 No matter where you
00:32:30.200 sit on that hate
00:32:33.100 crimes bill, it's not
00:32:38.240 what, it's not really
00:32:39.280 what people are going
00:32:40.020 to be voting on.
00:32:41.280 It's going to be the
00:32:41.820 internal, the different
00:32:42.900 groups.
00:32:43.620 Yes, I think, I think
00:32:45.020 I witnessed some of
00:32:46.280 the more vocal voices
00:32:48.500 and I was confused as
00:32:50.180 well, to be honest,
00:32:51.040 looking at it.
00:32:51.760 It didn't really change
00:32:53.440 my mind because I
00:32:54.400 don't think, you know,
00:32:56.160 I think I know
00:32:56.800 enough about the
00:32:58.660 people within one
00:32:59.580 nation and what
00:33:00.100 they stand for to
00:33:00.880 know that it was
00:33:01.840 definitely not a
00:33:02.680 support of the
00:33:05.540 censorship parts of
00:33:07.380 those, of that
00:33:08.500 bill.
00:33:09.960 Well, look, and if
00:33:10.840 it hadn't been a 50-50
00:33:12.220 split vote, you
00:33:13.740 didn't guarantee that
00:33:14.940 both senators from
00:33:15.940 one nation would have
00:33:16.740 been voting on that
00:33:17.460 bill.
00:33:17.900 100% you would have
00:33:18.880 seen them voting.
00:33:19.940 Yeah.
00:33:20.060 So, yeah, so that
00:33:24.560 hurt you guys a
00:33:25.560 little bit internally
00:33:26.240 but since then has
00:33:27.200 there been a bounce
00:33:28.380 back or like have
00:33:30.280 people, have people
00:33:31.700 within one nation
00:33:32.440 that, so are there
00:33:33.760 people within one
00:33:34.760 nation Victoria that
00:33:36.760 basically aired their
00:33:40.980 issue or brought
00:33:42.080 their issue up with
00:33:42.780 you and now are back
00:33:44.940 in or have they all
00:33:46.100 moved on and the
00:33:46.860 people there now were
00:33:47.900 not people that, how
00:33:48.800 was it all?
00:33:50.320 For the most part,
00:33:51.280 people just wanted an
00:33:52.140 explanation, you know,
00:33:53.700 membership party wanted
00:33:54.640 an explanation once it
00:33:55.680 was explained to them
00:33:56.400 properly because, again,
00:33:57.840 these are people that
00:33:58.700 are members but they're
00:33:59.500 still not necessarily
00:34:00.320 paying attention.
00:34:01.500 All they heard, as I
00:34:02.360 alluded to before, was
00:34:03.360 secondhand from somebody
00:34:04.460 who was half educated
00:34:05.460 which is potentially more
00:34:06.680 dangerous than no
00:34:07.420 education on the topic
00:34:08.440 and they just heard it
00:34:10.260 secondhand.
00:34:10.800 So, once they'd received
00:34:11.620 a reasonable explanation
00:34:12.740 What was the
00:34:13.200 explanation you gave?
00:34:14.520 How did you explain
00:34:15.520 it to the membership?
00:34:16.160 Well, effectively the same
00:34:16.360 but first they were
00:34:17.460 saying, you know, just
00:34:18.780 heard that we voted
00:34:19.480 against, you know, free
00:34:21.500 speech and went, well,
00:34:22.720 firstly, no, we abstained
00:34:23.820 from voting.
00:34:24.700 Secondly, it wasn't free
00:34:25.580 speech.
00:34:26.120 It was a hate crimes bill.
00:34:27.560 Speech wasn't even in the
00:34:28.420 tide but we know is
00:34:29.580 reflective of free speech
00:34:31.040 and the continual erosion
00:34:32.300 of sovereignty that we see
00:34:33.220 in this country.
00:34:33.880 Now, what Senator Roberts
00:34:36.620 was proposing that we
00:34:37.700 needed to debate this
00:34:39.300 topic based on this
00:34:40.260 reason, this reason, this
00:34:41.160 reason, that didn't
00:34:42.440 occur.
00:34:43.100 Now, the vote, I believe
00:34:44.280 the vote was, I think
00:34:45.920 it was, what, 52 to
00:34:47.640 four or whoever
00:34:48.820 turned up and the
00:34:49.900 rest were abstains.
00:34:52.160 So, there was
00:34:52.760 absolutely no way it
00:34:53.680 could have been.
00:34:54.140 There was no chance.
00:34:55.300 Yeah, look, amongst
00:34:56.300 people were sort of
00:34:57.260 had to explain to it
00:34:58.380 this way, they were a
00:34:59.580 bit more amenable to,
00:35:00.580 you know, getting on
00:35:01.980 with it.
00:35:02.340 It was more so that
00:35:04.400 they didn't like
00:35:04.920 copying flack second
00:35:06.360 hand from other
00:35:08.600 people.
00:35:09.660 We did the freedom
00:35:10.220 friendly minor party
00:35:11.260 community saying, well,
00:35:12.240 why are you still a
00:35:12.860 member of that party?
00:35:13.580 They voted against
00:35:14.320 free speech.
00:35:15.120 Well, it's interesting
00:35:15.980 because the whole
00:35:16.540 freedom, the freedom
00:35:17.840 friendly, that brand,
00:35:19.580 that's all like relatively
00:35:20.820 new because that's since
00:35:21.960 COVID.
00:35:22.320 I guess the libertarians
00:35:23.140 have been around for a
00:35:23.900 long time.
00:35:24.580 That's been the language
00:35:25.380 they've adopted many
00:35:27.100 years ago.
00:35:27.780 And this topic comes up
00:35:29.260 all the time and you
00:35:29.960 know it does as well as
00:35:30.860 I do.
00:35:31.160 Why don't you all just
00:35:32.060 merge together and
00:35:32.960 finally get along like
00:35:34.000 one giant happy party?
00:35:35.420 Well, everybody thought
00:35:36.000 that was going to
00:35:36.460 happen a few weeks ago
00:35:39.260 when Trumpets of
00:35:40.060 Patriots announced
00:35:40.940 itself.
00:35:42.260 Yeah, but look, that's
00:35:43.460 absolutely impossible
00:35:44.320 because when you look at
00:35:45.740 the various sets of the
00:35:46.780 individual parties, yeah,
00:35:48.040 on the surface, there is
00:35:48.960 a lot of crossover.
00:35:50.000 You know, we all kind of
00:35:50.780 want to minimize the size
00:35:52.160 of government.
00:35:52.900 It's become too
00:35:53.500 encumbersome.
00:35:54.520 We all want to see some
00:35:55.320 common sense policy brought
00:35:56.400 back in and we all want
00:35:57.680 to, you know, above all
00:35:59.260 else.
00:35:59.680 You know, enshrine
00:36:01.880 freedom of speech in the
00:36:02.900 Constitution as Senator
00:36:03.800 Ralph Pabetta has proposed
00:36:04.800 as Senator Hanson has
00:36:06.180 previously proposed as
00:36:07.240 well, you know.
00:36:08.260 But there is enough key
00:36:09.520 differences that if we did
00:36:10.880 merge, it would become a
00:36:11.980 problem down the track and
00:36:13.240 would end up just as
00:36:14.060 factional as the bloody
00:36:14.940 Liberal Party or the
00:36:15.760 Labor Party.
00:36:16.800 You know, there's
00:36:17.260 libertarianism isn't
00:36:18.880 conservatism, right?
00:36:19.900 There's a difference.
00:36:21.160 You know, there is a massive
00:36:22.840 amount of crossover, but,
00:36:24.280 you know, specifically at
00:36:25.700 the state level, I don't
00:36:26.560 want heroin injecting rooms
00:36:27.720 in my suburbs around
00:36:28.500 Melbourne.
00:36:28.960 All right.
00:36:29.460 That's a biggie for me and
00:36:30.900 I'm not prepared to
00:36:32.000 negotiate on that, if you
00:36:33.300 know what I mean.
00:36:33.960 So there's enough big
00:36:34.800 problem, big differences
00:36:36.020 that would cause a problem
00:36:37.040 down the track, but
00:36:38.300 there's enough crossover
00:36:39.140 that we should be able to
00:36:40.180 work together.
00:36:40.960 And that's what I think
00:36:41.980 we as a society need right
00:36:43.260 now more than anything.
00:36:44.780 There's more that unites us
00:36:45.820 than divides us and we can
00:36:46.940 work together in this
00:36:47.780 capacity.
00:36:48.260 And we need to focus on
00:36:49.880 those things first and
00:36:50.760 work out the finer details
00:36:51.860 later.
00:36:52.300 But as far as merging goes,
00:36:53.660 it's impossible and it's
00:36:54.800 a silly idea.
00:36:56.100 And I also believe that we
00:36:58.640 get lost in the noise.
00:36:59.820 While One Nation is an
00:37:00.700 identifiable household
00:37:01.820 brand, for better or for
00:37:02.880 worse, in this country, I
00:37:03.920 think if we became one big
00:37:05.720 conglomerate, again, we're
00:37:07.240 suffering the echo of the
00:37:08.680 educated illusion that the
00:37:12.300 rest of Australia is paying
00:37:13.160 attention.
00:37:13.900 They're not going to know
00:37:14.440 who this new great big
00:37:15.560 united freedom friendly
00:37:17.200 minor party movement
00:37:18.120 is, all they're going to
00:37:20.280 see is look at a
00:37:20.880 ballot paper and go,
00:37:21.660 well, I don't see One
00:37:22.240 Nation on here anymore.
00:37:23.700 Yeah.
00:37:23.980 So we get lost in the
00:37:24.920 noise, if you know what I
00:37:25.700 mean.
00:37:25.860 And I think that's a
00:37:26.580 mistake.
00:37:27.300 Which kind of also works
00:37:28.200 against, there is this
00:37:29.700 technique that's been used
00:37:32.280 over the years where you
00:37:33.260 actually create a heap of
00:37:34.920 parties just so you do feed
00:37:36.440 your preferences around.
00:37:38.680 Look, that's a great
00:37:39.360 harvesting system that I
00:37:40.920 think was first designed and
00:37:44.260 utilised to good effect by
00:37:45.660 Glenn Drury, the
00:37:46.400 preference whisperer.
00:37:47.200 Yes.
00:37:48.060 Look, and I think this is a
00:37:50.100 problem.
00:37:50.460 We've gotten rid of the
00:37:51.100 group voting ticket in
00:37:52.240 federally in all other
00:37:53.200 states because it's a
00:37:54.320 subversion of the
00:37:55.020 democratic process.
00:37:55.960 But we've still got it here
00:37:57.080 in Victoria State, which
00:37:59.140 is, it's absolute garbage,
00:38:01.360 but we have to work with
00:38:02.340 it to best effect.
00:38:03.700 So we have to ensure the
00:38:07.040 parties are maintaining
00:38:07.920 their integrity, get
00:38:09.420 together into a voting
00:38:10.640 block and preference each
00:38:11.760 other.
00:38:12.200 Now, this is the other
00:38:12.820 reason.
00:38:13.020 And this is in our best
00:38:14.420 interest not to merge
00:38:15.520 because we need more and
00:38:17.780 more minor parties to
00:38:19.440 preference each other
00:38:20.280 internally in a voting
00:38:21.320 block to secure seats at
00:38:22.960 Victoria State level.
00:38:24.360 Have you guys sorted your
00:38:26.240 preferences already?
00:38:28.180 For federal?
00:38:29.420 For the federal election.
00:38:30.800 For federal.
00:38:31.420 So I'm leaving that up to
00:38:32.680 senior leadership because
00:38:33.660 they obviously manage
00:38:34.500 preferences for the whole
00:38:35.400 country.
00:38:36.100 I'll obviously have input,
00:38:37.540 but I'll leave that up to
00:38:38.620 senior leadership.
00:38:40.100 Have they done it
00:38:41.520 already or they're
00:38:42.600 working on it now?
00:38:44.080 Look, I'm not at liberty
00:38:45.160 to discuss this yet, mate.
00:38:46.280 I feel like it's probably
00:38:47.200 still an ongoing
00:38:48.340 discussion, but well done
00:38:49.700 for trying.
00:38:50.940 So with the lower house
00:38:53.840 candidates, though, we
00:38:54.640 don't take those options
00:38:57.420 out of our lower house
00:38:58.300 candidates' hands.
00:38:59.160 You know, they have
00:38:59.700 influence in that.
00:39:00.560 I don't know.
00:39:01.440 And Queensland don't know
00:39:02.540 who's best to preference
00:39:03.500 someone in the seat of
00:39:04.580 one.
00:39:05.920 So the lower house that
00:39:06.900 gets the candidates
00:39:07.840 decide for themselves?
00:39:09.280 Correct.
00:39:10.080 Yeah.
00:39:10.280 With a little bit of
00:39:10.920 guidance.
00:39:11.380 Absolutely.
00:39:11.920 Yeah.
00:39:12.480 They know, you know,
00:39:13.180 they might have some
00:39:13.780 great independents that
00:39:14.860 aren't teals running in
00:39:15.840 their seats that could be
00:39:16.760 fantastic for their
00:39:17.700 community.
00:39:18.060 What is it?
00:39:19.000 The Muslim votes?
00:39:19.560 The ability to nominate
00:39:20.900 them in their preference
00:39:22.240 flow out of their hands.
00:39:23.400 That's just not fair.
00:39:24.540 Sorry, mate.
00:39:25.000 I spoke over.
00:39:25.620 What did you say?
00:39:26.340 I was trying to be funny.
00:39:28.420 You're a bit of fun,
00:39:28.740 nice, weren't you?
00:39:29.180 Yeah, yeah.
00:39:29.620 I was saying, you know,
00:39:31.260 that, what is it?
00:39:32.060 The new Muslim party?
00:39:33.500 The Muslim vote?
00:39:34.340 Or is that just...
00:39:36.540 Yeah.
00:39:37.420 Or that might just be an
00:39:38.240 alliance like the Teals
00:39:39.340 where they're running
00:39:39.900 just independents
00:39:40.660 everywhere.
00:39:42.000 Yeah, it could be.
00:39:43.540 But look, and I think
00:39:44.500 Glenn Drew has probably
00:39:46.080 got a hand in that too,
00:39:47.160 being Senator Payment's
00:39:49.260 advisor now.
00:39:50.660 Is he Payment's
00:39:51.680 advisor now?
00:39:52.960 He is.
00:39:53.460 He is.
00:39:54.100 Mate, I feel like he
00:39:54.880 probably instigated the
00:39:55.860 whole thing.
00:39:56.480 But anyway, good on him.
00:39:57.620 Wow.
00:39:58.900 Gosh, that guy is a real
00:40:01.960 rat, a rot on our system.
00:40:05.140 Look, he absolutely is.
00:40:07.180 If it wasn't him, it'd be
00:40:08.560 someone else.
00:40:09.620 So the point is, the system
00:40:10.940 allows people like him to
00:40:12.860 exist within it.
00:40:14.100 So whether it was him or not,
00:40:15.240 it'd be someone else.
00:40:16.220 The point is, the system is
00:40:17.320 what needs to change.
00:40:19.080 Now, I don't necessarily...
00:40:19.880 Now he can go from like
00:40:20.900 talking to anti-Islamic
00:40:22.460 parties to joining Muslim
00:40:24.140 parties.
00:40:24.580 A guy literally doesn't
00:40:26.740 stand for anything, but
00:40:27.960 he's paycheck at the end
00:40:29.100 of it.
00:40:30.400 100%.
00:40:30.840 100%.
00:40:31.800 Yeah.
00:40:33.460 Well, he's carved out
00:40:34.340 Nate Lidonez for himself.
00:40:35.740 The thing is, I know I had
00:40:37.220 discussions with him at
00:40:38.080 Victorian State last time
00:40:39.260 because the thing is, a
00:40:40.400 lot of people went, I
00:40:41.280 can't believe you were
00:40:41.920 talking to him.
00:40:42.620 I went, you don't
00:40:43.340 understand.
00:40:44.180 If you're managing
00:40:44.900 preferences in the state of
00:40:46.160 Victoria, especially as a
00:40:47.620 minor party representative, you
00:40:49.220 need to be speaking to
00:40:50.100 everyone.
00:40:50.720 Even those people who
00:40:51.680 would never vote for you
00:40:52.880 and who you'd never vote
00:40:54.740 for and who you don't want
00:40:55.760 in your preference float.
00:40:56.860 If for no other reason than
00:40:58.200 to work out who they're
00:40:59.180 working with, you need to
00:41:00.100 be speaking to everyone.
00:41:01.540 Did you guys actually end
00:41:03.100 up working with him or not?
00:41:04.680 Yeah, no, absolutely not.
00:41:05.880 Of course not.
00:41:06.760 No.
00:41:07.300 And that's, I think that's
00:41:08.600 also a testament to the
00:41:09.580 integrity of the One Nation
00:41:10.560 brand.
00:41:11.200 We weren't prepared to
00:41:12.300 compromise on our
00:41:13.280 integrity to work with a
00:41:15.000 voting bloc that could have
00:41:15.980 potentially propelled more
00:41:17.280 lefties into office.
00:41:18.260 And that's what his voting
00:41:19.720 bloc effectively does, which
00:41:21.120 is why we're still stuck
00:41:22.060 with it in Victoria, because
00:41:23.540 the Labor government and
00:41:25.540 Greens government and
00:41:26.860 Greens parties in
00:41:28.340 Victoria can continue to
00:41:30.700 re-elect, utilising this
00:41:32.900 bloc that continues to
00:41:33.880 propel more socialists and
00:41:35.740 communists into office.
00:41:36.680 So why would they try and
00:41:38.180 change a system that's not
00:41:39.140 broken for them?
00:41:40.560 Do you guys have more
00:41:41.620 volunteers than you did
00:41:42.460 last time?
00:41:46.320 It's hard to say, really.
00:41:47.560 Like, you know, it's like a
00:41:49.360 lot of people still aren't
00:41:50.200 paying attention until they
00:41:51.700 turn up to pre-poll and
00:41:52.700 don't see a One Nation
00:41:53.580 core flute out.
00:41:54.660 And then they reach out and
00:41:55.580 go, what's going on?
00:41:56.360 I didn't see anyone.
00:41:57.620 Throw your hand up.
00:41:58.760 We need more people.
00:41:59.980 Look, I'm working off the
00:42:01.860 basis that 60% or almost 60%
00:42:04.540 of Australians are voting in
00:42:05.640 that two weeks of pre-poll
00:42:06.600 now.
00:42:07.720 We know that.
00:42:09.500 And while we don't have the
00:42:10.700 boots on the ground to man,
00:42:12.460 50 boots in per electorate on
00:42:13.960 election day, we can cover
00:42:15.480 60% of the community by
00:42:16.960 manning all three or four
00:42:18.420 boots in pre-poll.
00:42:20.520 So I think that's a key
00:42:22.320 point.
00:42:23.680 So look, the intention is to
00:42:25.340 try and get those manned.
00:42:26.700 Happy to share resources with
00:42:28.240 other minor parties, freedom
00:42:29.800 friendly minor parties,
00:42:30.960 because, you know, we're
00:42:32.600 effectively trying to
00:42:33.760 advocate for the same sorts of
00:42:35.180 things as, again, we touch
00:42:36.840 on those big issues.
00:42:37.880 So, yeah, I'm not going to
00:42:39.460 specifically say, you know,
00:42:41.520 no, you're only handing out
00:42:42.620 for One Nation.
00:42:43.520 You know, we have people that
00:42:44.500 are members of other parties
00:42:45.740 that want to hand out for us
00:42:46.800 where we have a physical
00:42:47.660 candidate and their party
00:42:48.600 doesn't.
00:42:48.840 So you guys, so when you
00:42:50.340 guys...
00:42:50.680 I'm not going to preclude
00:42:51.280 other people from other
00:42:52.240 parties, members from other
00:42:53.720 parties from handing out for
00:42:54.720 One Nation.
00:42:55.280 There's no way...
00:42:55.720 No, no, but just to
00:42:57.020 clarify, so you guys are
00:42:58.260 making deals with the other
00:42:59.280 minor parties where you hand
00:43:00.420 out each other's things to
00:43:01.340 spread out.
00:43:02.000 Well, it's not deals, but
00:43:03.660 we're having discussions.
00:43:04.760 I mean, we've got a lot of
00:43:05.560 the support network, the
00:43:07.440 support networks for
00:43:08.340 everybody.
00:43:08.680 So, you know, again, it's
00:43:10.920 probably maybe 10,000 people
00:43:12.840 across Victoria that advocate
00:43:14.260 for freedom-friendly minor
00:43:15.340 parties, and they might not
00:43:16.740 be One Nation supporters.
00:43:18.100 They might be libertarian
00:43:18.920 supporters, but they might not
00:43:20.040 have a libertarian candidate
00:43:21.380 in their seat.
00:43:22.420 I'm not going to preclude those
00:43:24.060 people from handing out for
00:43:25.000 One Nation and vice versa.
00:43:27.900 Like, I just think that's how
00:43:30.120 we work together without having
00:43:31.400 to, you know, form some sort of
00:43:33.580 legal entity between parties.
00:43:35.880 We share resources where we
00:43:37.660 can, and, you know, and then
00:43:40.300 it becomes, you know, a friendly
00:43:42.260 race towards the finish line at
00:43:43.660 the end, you know.
00:43:45.500 And talking about the end, before
00:43:48.580 we wrap up, what is your, I know
00:43:51.020 what you hope happens, what's your
00:43:52.660 prediction of what will play out
00:43:54.500 in this election?
00:43:55.740 Not that your prediction's any
00:43:57.120 better.
00:43:57.400 Although you guys probably, you
00:43:59.020 run polling, so I'm assuming you
00:44:01.460 know someone...
00:44:01.880 I don't engage in that bullshit,
00:44:03.720 mate, if I'm honest, polling.
00:44:04.680 Oh, the, the, the, you guys
00:44:06.740 don't do, One Nation doesn't do
00:44:08.240 internal polling?
00:44:09.780 Oh, I've, not really, no.
00:44:11.740 Okay.
00:44:12.440 Look, I, I'm, like you, I think
00:44:14.840 it's entirely speculative, uh, but
00:44:17.280 I see a minority, um, Dutton
00:44:20.720 government with One Nation.
00:44:22.100 You do, you think it's a minority
00:44:23.080 Dutton government that's coming?
00:44:24.720 Look, my, look, I know, and you
00:44:27.100 know, that they need to flip 20
00:44:28.800 odd seats across the nation to
00:44:30.420 secure government.
00:44:31.500 Uh, I know, and you know, where
00:44:34.960 those seats are achievable.
00:44:37.300 Now, I'm not saying, I think
00:44:39.100 they've misread the room in some
00:44:40.480 circumstances and put the wrong
00:44:41.940 candidate forward, read the
00:44:43.420 demographic wrong for specific
00:44:44.780 seats where they could have had an
00:44:45.940 opportunity to flip, and I don't
00:44:47.480 think they've necessarily, I
00:44:49.660 could, again, speculation, I could
00:44:51.240 be completely wrong, but I think
00:44:52.440 they've, they've misread the room
00:44:54.040 in some of these electorates and
00:44:55.560 put the wrong candidate forward.
00:44:56.540 So, time will tell.
00:44:58.600 But your prediction is minority
00:45:00.700 Dutton.
00:45:02.000 Yeah.
00:45:02.800 That is my best case scenario.
00:45:05.400 That's what I'm praying for.
00:45:07.180 So, on that note, mate, thanks,
00:45:08.860 thanks again for joining us.
00:45:10.320 Where can people find you, uh,
00:45:12.100 whether it's social media or even
00:45:13.900 to come and, um, uh, volunteer or
00:45:17.000 whatever, get involved in what you
00:45:18.040 guys are doing.
00:45:18.480 Where can people find you?
00:45:19.860 Reach out, uh, warrenpickering at
00:45:22.100 onenation.org or jump on just
00:45:24.420 warren.pickering on Facebook,
00:45:27.180 Instagram.
00:45:28.320 Actually, I'm locked out of
00:45:29.140 Facebook at the moment.
00:45:30.000 That's a whole other story, mate.
00:45:31.460 Three times in a month.
00:45:32.640 I feel like I'm being targeted.
00:45:34.040 Anyway, um, but yeah, look,
00:45:35.620 Instagram or, yeah, warrenpickering
00:45:37.420 at onenation.org is probably the
00:45:38.920 best bet.
00:45:39.460 And look, I'd love you to get
00:45:40.900 involved.
00:45:41.400 I want people to, we are at the
00:45:42.920 grassroots level in the state of
00:45:44.160 Victoria still, uh, make no
00:45:45.800 mistake, we are, we are building,
00:45:47.640 but we are still at the
00:45:48.400 grassroots level.
00:45:49.280 So, get involved now.
00:45:50.720 There's never been a better time to
00:45:51.980 get on board with One Nation in
00:45:53.160 Victoria.
00:45:53.600 Um, and we want Victorians to get
00:45:56.160 involved and actually help us
00:45:57.580 shape policy and formulate the
00:45:59.520 direction of this party in the
00:46:00.860 state of Victoria over the next
00:46:02.060 three to five years.
00:46:02.920 So, get involved now.
00:46:05.060 Mate, thanks for your time.
00:46:06.340 Good luck.
00:46:07.620 Cheers, mate.
00:46:11.200 Well, I hope you enjoyed that
00:46:12.480 interview as much as I did.
00:46:14.100 I think he's a top bloke.
00:46:15.280 I think, um, the One Nation
00:46:17.740 Institute here in Victoria is
00:46:19.580 growing and it is an institute
00:46:20.780 around the country for good
00:46:23.180 reason.
00:46:23.780 Aussies trust that brand.
00:46:25.780 Now, we're up to that part of the
00:46:26.820 show where I go through some of your
00:46:28.480 comments through the week on the
00:46:30.140 post because as a Rebel News Plus
00:46:32.040 subscriber, I encourage you to go on
00:46:33.860 and engage in the conversation on
00:46:35.740 the stories, our stories.
00:46:37.860 So, Rebel News Australia,
00:46:38.980 uh, rebelnews.com.au.
00:46:40.200 on those stories that go there,
00:46:42.240 whether it's the videos like this
00:46:43.340 one or any of the other stories,
00:46:45.200 get involved in the conversation
00:46:46.820 and I'll read your comments here.
00:46:49.240 So, this one was obviously,
00:46:50.680 I joined Billboard Chris on the
00:46:52.900 streets of Melbourne, on the
00:46:54.540 hostile streets of Melbourne.
00:46:55.760 They certainly were hostile.
00:46:56.680 This lovely lad told us what he thinks
00:46:59.840 at the quiet part out loud where he
00:47:01.420 supports, uh, you know, this is a new
00:47:03.640 immigrant, an immigrant to Australia
00:47:05.140 from Somalia, comes here and tells us
00:47:08.620 how much he supports rape.
00:47:11.380 And I've got no right to say anything
00:47:12.820 because I'm not an Aboriginal person
00:47:15.040 so I can't, uh, say that I welcome him.
00:47:17.080 It's, it's, it's just madness and it's
00:47:18.720 crazy that we've gotten to a point
00:47:19.900 where people are so brazen about that
00:47:21.820 that they'll say it to a camera.
00:47:24.820 Not, there was not one ounce of shame
00:47:27.300 in that guy.
00:47:28.360 He was proud about his position.
00:47:30.440 And Bruce, welcome back this week.
00:47:32.560 What if that African could be sent back
00:47:35.300 time to Germany in 1938 just saying,
00:47:38.700 well, you know, he was supporting, uh,
00:47:41.040 very much, uh, some of the ideas
00:47:43.320 of Nazi Germany.
00:47:45.640 Uh, I, I understand what you're trying
00:47:47.000 to get at there.
00:47:47.780 He, yeah, um, certainly.
00:47:50.800 He also added, this world is outside
00:47:53.580 and inside out.
00:47:55.560 Um, good is now evil and evil is now good.
00:47:58.920 We must turn things around and stop
00:48:00.500 the mutilation of impressionable children.
00:48:06.160 As I often do, Bruce, I agree with you
00:48:08.420 on that one.
00:48:09.120 Jamie, Australia reminds me of Canada.
00:48:11.720 Like Canadians, it seems Australians
00:48:13.420 have been taught to hate themselves.
00:48:16.160 I mean, I mean that last white guys,
00:48:19.340 uh, was in Australia, but yes, but yet,
00:48:23.400 I mean that last white guy,
00:48:26.540 oh, the last white guy in the video
00:48:28.000 was in Australia, but yet he said,
00:48:29.840 he says he's seen a better flag
00:48:31.980 than the Australian flag.
00:48:33.340 That's messed up.
00:48:34.040 I agree with you.
00:48:35.420 Isn't it mind-boggling that somebody
00:48:37.780 in Australia, he had an Aussie accent.
00:48:40.780 He was white Australian.
00:48:42.560 He, just happy to say it straight to my face
00:48:46.560 that he thinks that there are better
00:48:48.920 countries than Australia.
00:48:50.260 Why not go there?
00:48:51.400 Go there.
00:48:51.820 That black guy sounded ridiculous
00:48:54.360 talking about how Israelis should go back
00:48:56.080 to where they came from.
00:48:57.300 Most of those people came from Israel.
00:48:59.700 Well, at least it's historically,
00:49:01.380 when you want to talk about,
00:49:02.220 in one breath, he talks about Israelis
00:49:03.840 having to go back to where they come from.
00:49:05.640 But when I put it to him that many Australians
00:49:07.660 might say that he should go back
00:49:08.760 to where he comes from,
00:49:09.860 he will deem that as racist.
00:49:11.220 Because when, bizarrely,
00:49:14.580 most Israelis are the indigenous people
00:49:17.780 of that land.
00:49:18.940 But he was, you know,
00:49:19.720 telling me at the same time
00:49:20.460 that I could not welcome him into Australia
00:49:23.680 or not welcome him into Australia
00:49:25.400 because I'm not indigenous.
00:49:27.440 You can't make this stuff up.
00:49:28.920 That would be like someone telling him
00:49:30.660 to go back to Africa.
00:49:31.900 Completely ignorant, isn't it?
00:49:33.760 No, but it's even more.
00:49:34.920 It's even more than somebody telling him
00:49:36.300 to go back to Africa
00:49:38.480 because the people that he's telling
00:49:40.220 to go back to the countries
00:49:42.500 that they came from in Israel
00:49:44.100 are actually the indigenous people.
00:49:46.180 That's like him turning
00:49:46.940 to an aboriginal person here,
00:49:49.380 an indigenous person here,
00:49:51.200 and telling them to go back
00:49:52.440 to where they came from
00:49:53.340 because, anyways,
00:49:55.060 I don't even know how to explain it.
00:49:57.960 I know that land does not belong
00:49:59.480 to the indigenous, not anymore.
00:50:02.140 Now they share it with everyone else.
00:50:04.120 And I agree with that.
00:50:04.920 That's the point.
00:50:06.100 Is Australia the, you know,
00:50:07.960 we've got to respect the people.
00:50:10.160 They're equal citizens.
00:50:11.400 Everyone under one flag.
00:50:13.000 Indigenous people have all,
00:50:15.360 enjoy all the same rights
00:50:16.560 as us here in Australia,
00:50:18.520 as Australians.
00:50:19.380 And, you know,
00:50:22.120 no one needs to go back
00:50:23.600 to where they came from
00:50:24.400 unless you don't like it here.
00:50:25.820 If you don't like it here
00:50:26.840 and if you,
00:50:27.620 if you hate what we stand for,
00:50:30.440 Western, free, democratic values,
00:50:32.280 then go back.
00:50:33.040 Like that guy,
00:50:33.960 like that Somali,
00:50:34.840 he should go back
00:50:35.980 because Somalia
00:50:37.760 was obviously so much better.
00:50:41.300 How brainwashed are these
00:50:43.480 no-hoping left-wing lunatics,
00:50:45.140 gutless, unwashed cowards?
00:50:47.920 Mate, it's pretty wild out there.
00:50:49.840 I'll be honest.
00:50:50.500 Like,
00:50:51.840 probably five years ago,
00:50:54.540 you know what?
00:50:55.120 Prior to October 7,
00:50:56.660 it was probably 80% of people
00:50:58.420 would walk up to me going,
00:50:59.360 Avi, I love your work.
00:51:00.000 And people weren't as brazen
00:51:04.300 to be so vile
00:51:07.340 and to scream out hate
00:51:08.840 as they walk past.
00:51:09.840 Now,
00:51:10.860 it's probably 50-50.
00:51:11.820 Like,
00:51:11.960 I'm getting a lot of people
00:51:12.580 walking up to me on the side,
00:51:13.860 Avi, I love you,
00:51:14.600 what you're doing,
00:51:15.180 huh?
00:51:15.680 But the leftists,
00:51:17.820 the jihadis,
00:51:19.480 the brainwashed,
00:51:21.280 the people,
00:51:21.740 there's,
00:51:21.960 I've got a few more videos
00:51:22.780 coming out this week
00:51:23.640 from that same day.
00:51:25.420 People that have no clue
00:51:26.720 are just,
00:51:28.620 they're so confident
00:51:30.080 in spewing their ignorant hate.
00:51:34.740 Qantas drops in-flight phrase
00:51:37.060 amid backflip on woke activism.
00:51:40.000 This was obviously going to happen
00:51:42.900 at some point.
00:51:44.880 People have had enough.
00:51:46.340 Let's see what the comments are.
00:51:49.500 We've got Bruce,
00:51:50.880 as usual,
00:51:51.540 since there,
00:51:52.440 since there is no,
00:51:53.300 landed acknowledgements
00:51:55.160 in Europe,
00:51:56.120 why do it
00:51:56.800 in the Commonwealth countries?
00:51:58.080 Most,
00:51:58.380 most folks
00:51:59.200 are tired of all this woke
00:52:00.900 crapola,
00:52:02.140 so stuff it,
00:52:03.200 Qantas.
00:52:05.040 Hear, hear.
00:52:06.760 I hate Qantas,
00:52:08.220 indeed,
00:52:08.940 Robert.
00:52:10.020 I think,
00:52:10.600 many people probably
00:52:11.880 share your view.
00:52:13.440 And last but not least,
00:52:15.780 we have
00:52:16.220 Kamala crashes in,
00:52:17.900 failed White House
00:52:18.960 hopeful lands,
00:52:20.020 Aussie real estate geek.
00:52:21.780 She's coming to speak here
00:52:23.140 in Australia,
00:52:24.740 isn't it?
00:52:25.920 Would you go to an event
00:52:27.200 in which,
00:52:27.700 would you pay for an event?
00:52:29.020 Who?
00:52:29.760 Which Aussies are paying
00:52:30.980 to go see?
00:52:31.620 I think I might have to attend
00:52:32.820 to find that out.
00:52:35.360 Let's see what,
00:52:36.300 do we have any comments
00:52:37.280 on this one?
00:52:38.100 We have Bruce,
00:52:40.200 may Kamala,
00:52:40.880 do just as well
00:52:43.000 in May
00:52:43.500 as she did
00:52:44.520 in the US election.
00:52:46.660 Bruce,
00:52:47.020 keep the comedy
00:52:47.760 coming, mate.
00:52:49.500 And
00:52:49.860 Bernard
00:52:50.700 says,
00:52:52.160 falling
00:52:53.160 upwards
00:52:53.960 is what
00:52:54.840 losers
00:52:55.440 like her
00:52:56.440 do.
00:52:59.180 And on that note,
00:53:01.120 guys,
00:53:01.700 thanks for tuning in
00:53:02.440 tonight,
00:53:03.120 and keep those
00:53:04.300 comments
00:53:04.740 coming.
00:53:06.440 It's what makes
00:53:07.060 our community
00:53:07.580 so great.
00:53:08.460 I appreciate you
00:53:09.340 joining me
00:53:10.140 in tonight's
00:53:11.500 podcast.
00:53:13.000 Till next week.
