1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: I wonder how Prime Minister has seen the original Top Gun,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: He joins us Now, Scott.

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,559
Speaker 2: Morrison, welcome, Fin's gone on.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Have you seen the original Top Gun movie, mister Morrison.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 3: Many many, many times, heaps of time. Well see your story.

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 3: One day, the US Ambassador took me out on the

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: USS Ronald Reagan and during their exercises off the Brisbane coast,

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: and we're there on the on the on the deck

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: watching the planes come in and land and take off.

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: It was pretty amazing and it reminded me of that

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 3: the opening scene of the movie. And I went home

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: that night and I watched it again.

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: You know what, and Schimmer, I haven't seen the original,

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: but I saw the new one Top Gun Maverick the

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: other day and it's one of the best films I've

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: ever seen.

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: It's huge, amazing, Scott.

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: Looking forward to it would be a lot of fun.

19
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: I'd build it into the campaign. I'd say, you know what, guys,

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: if you vote for me, I'm going to get this

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: release date move forward and you can all see the

22
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: new Top Gun early. Just an idea.

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Lily and Abbey really love it well. I took my

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: son to go see it. He loved it. It's for

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: kids as well, Scott, it'd be great. I don't know

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: if you're going to get some time off with you.

27
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: You probably can't see it in the next couple of weeks,

28
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: that's for sure.

29
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I'll get to see it the

30
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks, but now I'm looking forward it.

31
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: They've been seizing it for several years now, the least

32
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 3: of this movie, so it's good fun. The first one

33
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: was fantastic. I remember Jenny and I went to Seed

34
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: together many many years ago, and I really enjoyed it then,

35
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: and it's one of those main stays.

36
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, we were just informed. As you were getting

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: onto the phone, you said, now I've got a bit

38
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: of time to listen to the Lady Gaga song because

39
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm just boiling up my eggs. You're having your breakfast

40
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: this morning.

41
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Wasn't a carried egg, was it.

42
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't a carry egg this morning. A couple

43
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: of boiled eggs. All good.

44
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Hey, do you do it yourself, Scott? Do you boil

45
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: up and bail them up yourself?

46
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes I do, other times I don't get the time.

47
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, because we had we've got life Improver.

48
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: It's a segment that we do every week. We had

49
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: this was from a lady called Sarah. This was an

50
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: unbelievable call. She had a little bit of a hack

51
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: for your Scott. If you're doing your coffee and your

52
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: eggs at the same time, have a listen to this.

53
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: To save time in the morning. I like to boil

54
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: my egg in the kettle and then I've got my

55
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: long black and my eggs ready to go.

56
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: So she boils her egg in the kettle, Scott and

57
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: uses the water, then uses the water for her long black.

58
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Genius.

59
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: It is genius. I mean, that's the ingenuity of Australia's

60
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: It just never stopped. You're always finding better ways to

61
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 3: do things.

62
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: Cobo sixteen days till we go to the Poles we vote.

63
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: How are you going to spend these remaining sixteen days?

64
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: What is the clear message and what do you want

65
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: to say?

66
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: Well, this is a choice and it's not a popularity contest,

67
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: it's not a reality television show. This is serious stuff

68
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: about who's going to be running the Australian economy and

69
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: looking after our national security where there are very serious

70
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: things happening all around the world. We've just seen that

71
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: this week with the increase in the interest rates twenty

72
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: five points, and I know that will be impacting on

73
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: people paying their mortgages. I know they've been preparing for it.

74
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: I know they've been expecting it. But when you look

75
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: at what's happening overseas in New Zealand, it's gone up

76
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five basis points, in Canada seventy five,

77
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: in the UK sixty five, and in the US it

78
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: went up another fifty just overnight on top of the

79
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: twenty five that was already there. So you know, in Australia,

80
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: we've been doing well to shield Australians from all of

81
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 3: these impacts around the world. Cost of living pressures are

82
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: very real in Australia, but I can tell you they're

83
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: worse in all the other countries. Our debt levels are

84
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: lower as well in Australia compared to other countries, and

85
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: we've been getting Australia through this pandemic and we've got

86
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: a strong plan to ensure that continues. So it is

87
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: a choice about who you think is best going to

88
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: be able to manage all this going forward, based on

89
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: our record on our plans. So it's U saw the

90
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: Labor Party and you know, we all know what happened

91
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: last time they were in unemployment was higher electricity prices

92
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: went up. We've got electricity prices down over the last

93
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: two years by more than ten percent. So you know

94
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: that's the issues that are most important, getting unemployments down

95
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: to record levels and particularly use unemployment. Guys, we've got

96
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: use unemployment down to eight point three percent. We haven't

97
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: seen it in single digits like that for a long time.

98
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: And nothing gets me more excited than see young people

99
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: get jobs, get into training, get an apprenticeship and be

100
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: able to have choices in life.

101
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Do you at Scott? It's I mean, you've had an

102
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: amazing run and the last election was an amazing win

103
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: by the Liberals. Is there a moment though? And you know,

104
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: we watched the sixty minutes interview that you did with

105
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Carl as well and Jenny and you can see that

106
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: the toll that it takes on the family. Does it

107
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: ever cross your mind that in a couple of weeks

108
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: that you know, look, I know you don't want to

109
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: look like this, but you need to be realistic that

110
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: they're in a couple of weeks that all these engagements.

111
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: It could be all over. You could spend more time

112
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: with the family. Do you think about that quant a bit.

113
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: Well, everyone who serves in public life, their families do

114
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: make big sacrifices. And in my family, you know, we've

115
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: understood that. And I get tremendous support from Jenny and

116
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 3: the girls, and they're amazing. You've met them, and they

117
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: understand why I'm doing what I'm doing, and they know

118
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: it's important. And you know that's why as a family

119
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: we commit to doing what we're doing. Now we've got

120
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: a lot more to do, and we know Australia is

121
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: facing a lot of threats. I mean, it's a very

122
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: uncertain world at the moment, and I know people have

123
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: been through a lot over the last few years, and

124
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: they might have liked everything I've done, they may have

125
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: disagreed with the decisions here and there. No one gets

126
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: everything right, particularly in a once in one hundred year pandemic.

127
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: But Australia has performed better than almost any other advanced

128
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: country in the world. Our economy is stronger, more people

129
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: in work, our credit rating is strong, one of only

130
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: nine countries in the world to have a triple A

131
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: credit rating, and that's what's going to protect Australia over

132
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: the next five years, and that's why we want to

133
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: keep going and doing this to ensure that we can

134
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: continue to provide that shield. And today we're an outing

135
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: our policy which will see another four hundred thousand small

136
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: business created. We've actually seen four hundred thousand established just

137
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: in the last five years. So getting their costs down,

138
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: getting their energy prices under control, make sure they get

139
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: paid on time, giving them tax relief. That's what creates

140
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: small businesses in our communities, gives people jobs, gives people opportunities.

141
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: Can we touch on national security because that's a big

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: one the players on everybody's mind. And you know there's

143
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: some horrible headlines that you read out where Astralia is

144
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: going to be at war when in the next ten

145
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: years and all this sort of gear. What comfort can

146
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: you buy us there?

147
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: Well, we've been working hard to ensure we avoid those

148
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: sort of outcomes. That's why I did the defense deal

149
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: with both with the United States and the United Kingdom,

150
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: but also did one with Japan. What all this does

151
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: is create a balance in our region to ensure that

152
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: we don't end up in that situation where things get

153
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: more tense. That's what we want in our regions. We

154
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: want peace, we want stability. But to achieve that, you

155
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: need to ensure that your alliances and your partnerships are strong,

156
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: that you're investing in defense. I mean our defense spending.

157
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: Now we've spent fifty five billion dollars more then the

158
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: Labor Party would have spent if we'd kept their same

159
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: defense spending levels when we came to office. We now

160
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: are the two percent of at the size of our economy,

161
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: which is what you need to do to ensure that

162
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: you can credibly work with other major players like the

163
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, India and others who

164
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: are all working with us to create a more safe

165
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: and stable region, whether it's here in the Pacific or

166
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: right across going all up to North Asia and Southeast Asia.

167
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: So that's what we're doing to keep Australian safe. We're

168
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: investing in defense, We're investing in our challenge and security agencies,

169
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: keeping our borders secure, but doing it in a way

170
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: which is reaching out to the rest of the region

171
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 3: for a peaceful region where we can all just get along.

172
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: It's going to be nice.

173
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Do you know when you go to the Coronala Sharks

174
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: and you watch the sharkis play and you know when

175
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: you're putting off the opposition player when he's having a kick,

176
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: you know the jazz hands, Scott, will you be doing

177
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: that now? Elbow on the day? Is that something? Is

178
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: that a matter tradition?

179
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: The magic fingers as we call it in our house. Oh,

180
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, that's just a bit of fun. Yeah, it's

181
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: a bit of fun. But you know, I had a campaign.

182
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: What I'm focused on. I mean, they're taking all sorts

183
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: of sledges of me. They do that every day. He's

184
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: been doing that for the last three years. He's had

185
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: a lot to say about me and giving me free

186
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: character assessment on a daily basis. But I haven't heard

187
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: much about what he planned to do, particularly on the economy.

188
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: And he's had three years to tell everybody that. Let's

189
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: we're just over two weeks out from the election and

190
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: people still don't know what his economic plan is. And

191
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 3: then a couple of weeks ago he couldn't even tell

192
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: you what the unemployment rate was the or the interest rate. So,

193
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: I mean, are you going to trust them to manage

194
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: these issues someone who doesn't even know what they are

195
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 3: there's one who's been able to keep the economy strong

196
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: and one of the most difficult times the countries ever faced.

197
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: We've got to make sure two scoma that if you're
