00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,240

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,520

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: As COP President of Negotiations, I would have all the

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: powers of the COP Presidency are to manage to handle

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: the negotiations to a point, coacilitators to beare draft text

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: to issue the covered decision. Obviously, it's tradition that the

Speaker 2: COP President is the host and handles the venues and

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,200

00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,399

00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: PM of using Higgins's ordeal to deflect from findings by

24
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: two judges that there was no cover up of the

00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: incident by the Liberal Party. New South Wales Liberal leader

26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 3: Mark Speakman is adamant he's not going anywhere. Speculation about

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: a challenge from first term MP Kelly Sloane has swirled

28
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,000

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: have enough experience to take the top job.

Speaker 4: offer experience, resilience, grit determination to lead the party to

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320

Speaker 4: We've got some terrific first term MPs and Kelly Sloane

41
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,160
