Chris BarrieGUEST
There were three of them.
Chris BarrieGUEST
So Christopher Pyne, Linda Reynolds and so on, Kim Beazley.
Chris BarrieGUEST
But everybody else, nearly to a person, said no.
Chris BarrieGUEST
And, you know, we found ourselves with a very swayed report because we had no positive comments.
Matt HarveyHOST
Australia continues its desperate attempt to be a major player in the weapons game.
Matt HarveyHOST
Ever since 2017, when former Defence Minister Christopher Pyne said Australia should export all sorts of arms to increase jobs, including vessels, offshore patrol vessels, remote warfare systems, surveillance, sonar, radar, and potentially Frigates, but don't worry.
Matt HarveyHOST
We will only Enormously increase that capacity by sending a lot more weapons overseas to appropriate countries and appropriate places Of course, we'd only do it that way.
Matt HarveyHOST
We're the West.
Amy RemeikisGUEST
Yeah, and also like what we're doing as a country here.
Amy RemeikisGUEST
I mean, Malcolm Turnbull and Christopher Pyne stood up and said, we want to make Australia a top 10 arms dealer.
Amy RemeikisGUEST
You know, like that happened.
Amy RemeikisGUEST
And then every subsequent government has continued in that aim.
Paul BongiornoGUEST
And Zoe McKenzie, the Liberal, she was on ABC today pointing out that they haven't rejected it but they want to look very closely at it.
Paul BongiornoGUEST
And Christopher Pyne says the Liberals have never voted against a free trade deal.
Paul BongiornoGUEST
We call them free trade deals.
Paul BongiornoGUEST
They're really preferential because they're never, ever completely free, as we know.
Terry BarnesGUEST
Yeah.
John StanleyHOST
Can I – I should also say, because I was watching the 7.30 report in the last hour, and every Thursday they have Christopher Pyne and Bill Shorten on.
John StanleyHOST
Now, we know Bill Shorten's left Parliament.
John StanleyHOST
We know that Bill Shorten – I think he's on a million bucks a year in his new university position, so he's doing a lot better than he did in Parliament.
Jacques BoulayHOST
That's right.
Jennifer BurrellHOST
So just like last night, I heard ex-liberal poly Christopher Pyne say on the ABC that there was no problem there, that that wasn't an issue the way politicians talk to each other.
Jennifer BurrellHOST
So for him, it's normal.
Jennifer BurrellHOST
Well, I've often contemplated what would happen in my various workplaces I've been.
Julie HareHOST
Obviously, it was the Murdoch Empire.
Julie HareHOST
It was Tony Abbott and Christopher Pyne was the education minister and The Australian was very pro-coalition and we'd done a section and pretty well every single story in the section was about VD regulation and pretty well every one of them was anti-VD regulation.
Julie HareHOST
So I got hauled into Chris Mitchell's office and he yelled at me for an hour and he kept yelling at me,
Ant BagshawHOST
What am I going to say to Christopher Pyne? What am I going to say
Julie HareHOST
to Christopher Pyne? And I'm like, I don't know.
Julie HareHOST
It wasn't the relationship with him.
Julie HareHOST
And he never mentioned it again.
Caleb BondHOST
That is, that is true.
Caleb BondHOST
I mean, you, you'll remember, uh, Linda, many years ago when Christopher Pyne, uh, here on this network described himself as the fixer.
Caleb BondHOST
"I'm a fixer"-
