1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: You know that I love this man. We had him

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: on recently.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: Actually we may have mistook him for Spears and spears

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 2: on for his questions, but you can catch him inside

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: of Sundays nine am on ABC TV and ABC News.

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: It is the magnificent Davis.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you very much, oh very much.

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 4: Have you been confused with Britney spears?

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: My nicknames? The mates has been Britney for many, many years.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 3: You know, it goes with the territory.

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 4: Annoying? Annoying?

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: Is that well, it's how are you going? Mate? Is

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: it true? Am I reading right here that inside? Hasn't you?

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: I think you're doing a great job.

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: But did you move the family down to Melbourne at

16
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: the start of the year for the show.

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: I did Melbourne? Yeah?

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 5: I had been in the Canberra for twenty years, which

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 5: I love Canberra. But you know the attractions of Melbourne.

20
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 5: You get to go to the footy in all these

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 5: cafes and restaurant's.

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: Kids, it'll be great, it'll be great. Here we are.

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 3: We haven't been outside the house for god knows how long. Yeah,

24
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: we think they're good year.

25
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: It's great. The kids are into politics too, because when

26
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 4: you do homeschooling, and you go through the history of

27
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: the political system, the leaders. They must be fascinated by

28
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 4: that name.

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: We kill too, the one Stone exactly.

30
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 6: They're all over It is history your best subject. Are

31
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 6: you actually kind of helpful with other stuff?

32
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: Or is that left to your wife? I tell you

33
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: what I got. I got two little ones.

34
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 5: One's doing you, one one's doing it for I'm learning

35
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 5: stuff every day.

36
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: With the schooling. I tell you what's fun. We're learning

37
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: about the pyramids in Egypt. I mean, it's fantastic.

38
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: Can I ask with your relationship with politicians? And we

39
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: love you because you do question them. You ask them

40
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: the hard questions. What is it like when you're not

41
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: being recorded, when it's off screen. Do you have good

42
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: relationships with these guys and girls?

43
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at some of them, you do. I got

44
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: to admit. Some of them are really good people.

45
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 5: You know, they're they're funny, they're interested in a lot

46
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: of the similar things and so on. So, yeah, you

47
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: do have a relationship with some of them. But it's

48
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 5: always a bit of a weird relationship, right because you

49
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: know that once the cameras are on, the lights are on.

50
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: Yes, you've got a job to do. They've got a

51
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: job to do. It often it's not a very friendly encounter.

52
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: You got to ask some tough questions. You've got to

53
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: expose where they don't know.

54
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 5: What they're talking about. So it's a strange relationship a

55
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: lot of the time. Sure you can be friendly, but yeah,

56
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 5: you've got to take the gloves off.

57
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: Do you know what I'd find fascinating?

58
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 5: Is it?

59
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a unique skill that you have because

60
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: you're so well versed in the political game and the understanding.

61
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: You would hear a politician making one comment and know

62
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: exactly what he's actually doing and what he means. That

63
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 4: must be a laugh.

64
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

65
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 5: Look, a lot of the time what they say is

66
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 5: not what they mean or not exactly what they mean.

67
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, it takes I guess a while to understand

68
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: the code, the language they speak in and how to.

69
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: Sort of pop that mubble.

70
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 5: You guys probably find this too, that when you do

71
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 5: try to interrupt, I certainly find this and get back

72
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 5: to the question you asked. I have a lot of

73
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 5: supporters out there who complain, and so you shouldn't interrupt.

74
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 5: Politicians will hang on. Our job is to actually exactly

75
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 5: the answers out of them. Speasey, did you watch the

76
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 5: Jonathan Swan interview with Donald Trump?

77
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: What do you think that didn't? Yeah?

78
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: Look, Jonathan's one used to work in the press gallery

79
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 5: in Canberra. I knew him back in those days, and

80
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: he has just taken off like a rocket, the.

81
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: Guy who's just owning it in Washington. That interview, it

82
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: was the best interview of Trump I've seen.

83
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: I think the big difference was, you know a lot

84
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: of American interviews who are terrific, but they treat the

85
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: president whoever it is, even Donald Trump, with this difference,

86
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 5: you know, because he's the president.

87
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: They see him in this almost godlike respect.

88
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: Jonathan Swan comes in there as an Aussie and he

89
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 5: tears the guy apart.

90
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: There's none of this deferential you know the president.

91
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 5: He just took to him and he had all the

92
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 5: stats and it was it was a cracking interview.

93
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: I loved it.

94
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: You're here today for the headline off. Well, you've never

95
