Speaker 1: There you are on the air with Jason Lauren Clinty
Speaker 1: as well listening to number one hundred.
Speaker 2: Our next guest has come a long way since being
Speaker 2: a Queensland Police officer. He's been in government under Howard,
Speaker 2: have it Turnbill and Morrison, and he could very well
Speaker 2: next be in government under himself.
Speaker 3: I think we've got a hell of a journey left
Speaker 3: in front of us and the campaign can throw up
Speaker 3: all sorts of audities.
Speaker 2: Please welcome to the show, Leader of the Liberal Party.
Speaker 4: How are you very good?
Speaker 5: Good to be with you?
Speaker 4: Think are you exhausted yet?
Speaker 3: I think everyone's a bit exhausted, and I think everyone's
Speaker 3: probably over the campaign and just want to get back
Speaker 3: to their lives and it'll be over on Saturday night.
Speaker 3: So we've got a big sprint between now and well.
Speaker 6: It is interesting because I think people are like, there
Speaker 6: is so much talk about the selection. People do get
Speaker 6: over the constant ads and bombardment, wait for the just quickly.
Speaker 6: Are you getting the text messages that we're all getting.
Speaker 6: I'm not getting the text on the trumpet list trump
Speaker 6: days in a row.
Speaker 3: This is the reason to keep your phone number and
Speaker 3: never never change it. Because Clive has got that number,
Speaker 3: so big bombarded.
Speaker 7: Do you have Clive's number? I do, yes, can we
Speaker 7: all get that? And then.
Speaker 5: Here's my reply mate's reply.
Speaker 8: You are?
Speaker 9: You are on Telly all the time?
Speaker 8: I mean we've been watching both breakfast shows this morning
Speaker 8: and the ads have popped up. I've seen more of
Speaker 8: you than I have any of my mates recently.
Speaker 3: The big the big winner of course, out of the
Speaker 3: election campaigns of the media companies. You guys are all
Speaker 3: meeting budget over this month.
Speaker 7: And I can't wait to run the gauntlet on Saturday.
Speaker 7: You know, the flyers did it the other day.
Speaker 9: I voted early voted.
Speaker 4: When do you vote?
Speaker 7: I'll vote Saturday day, your day. What's what's the rundown
Speaker 7: the day is that there.
Speaker 5: Will be a lot of media in the morning, so
Speaker 5: just sort of back to back.
Speaker 3: I'll have a chat to Clint on today and others
Speaker 3: sort of right around the country, a lot of radio
Speaker 3: and then it's yeah, it's it's into your own electric,
Speaker 3: catching up the volunteers and so it's a fairly busy day.
Speaker 7: Have you put thought into how you're going to eat
Speaker 7: the sausage?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, short, yeah, yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm very conscious of it my many very concerned, this
Speaker 3: could this could swing it a few percent.
Speaker 7: You get it from the end and there's a there's
Speaker 7: a mean, there's a photo, there's an image.
Speaker 4: All jokes aside. Are you feeling confident? Are you nervous?
Speaker 3: I am feeling confident because I've seen we do, you know,
Speaker 3: track polling and look at the seats all the time.
Speaker 3: But the response that we've had through that polling, but
Speaker 3: more importantly, the response that our volunteers have had at
Speaker 3: the pre polling over the last few days has been
Speaker 3: pretty extraordinary. So I think there is something happening that's
Speaker 3: quite different to what we're seeing in the published poles
Speaker 3: and the papers at the moment. And when you go
Speaker 3: the seat by seat, you've got some great candidates. You
Speaker 3: look at people who work really hard, and your hamer
Speaker 3: for example, they're out door knocking, picking up you know,
Speaker 3: thous of conversations and listening to people and responding to
Speaker 3: that and that actually helps their vote on the day,
Speaker 3: and that's not picked up in the overall polling that
Speaker 3: we see at a federal level.
Speaker 6: Okay, so we've got four days. You've got four days
Speaker 6: to convince the people of Australia. Why we should vote
Speaker 6: for you? What is the key message to drive this
Speaker 6: home for people who A lot of people have already decided,
Speaker 6: and there's a lot of people that still don't know
Speaker 6: what they're doing.
Speaker 4: If there was one thing you could tell them, what
Speaker 4: would it be? Why should we vote.
Speaker 3: For The key message has got to be ask yourself
Speaker 3: for you're better off today than you were three years ago,
Speaker 3: and a lot of families aren't. We've had the biggest
Speaker 3: drop in living standards in our country's history. A lot
Speaker 3: of families have gone back whids, thirty thousand small businesses
Speaker 3: have gone broke.
Speaker 5: So what can we do about it?
Speaker 3: Well, our plan is to cut the price of fuel
Speaker 3: by twenty five cents a leter, so it's about fourteen
Speaker 3: dollars a tank you get back straight away. We'll give
Speaker 3: twelve hundred dollars back by way of a tax rebate
Speaker 3: money you've paid, but that will help you deal with
Speaker 3: the cost of living pressures you've got now. And then
Speaker 3: we're going to fix up the energy system, because it's
Speaker 3: the energy system which is driving up the cost of
Speaker 3: the production of food, the production and the manufacturing of
Speaker 3: building materials. This is why groceries are up by thirty percent.
Speaker 3: So we're going to flood the market with Australian gas
Speaker 3: that we're exporting at the moment. We're going to bring
Speaker 3: that back into domestic consumption and that brings the price
Speaker 3: of gas down by about twenty three percent. That means
Speaker 3: not just a gas bill at home, but gas is
Speaker 3: used to generate electricity, so that will help across the
Speaker 3: economy bring price This year.
Speaker 8: For you right now is that you're probably running out
Speaker 8: of time if the published poles are to be believed
Speaker 8: fifty three forty seven last night, the age resolve pole.
Speaker 8: I mean, are people buying what you're trying to sell?
Speaker 5: I think they are. Clinton.
Speaker 3: I think as you say, when you go seat by
Speaker 3: seat and you look at the fights that are on there,
Speaker 3: and you know this space well. But people either have
Speaker 3: a good view or a bad view of their local
Speaker 3: labor member. I think, particularly in Victoria, people are concerned
Speaker 3: about crime. We've announced we're the only party to announce
Speaker 3: a huge crime policy.
Speaker 5: We're just on that.
Speaker 8: People aren't afraid to go to the shops. Like you
Speaker 8: said at the start of the campaign, that's big. Victorians
Speaker 8: aren't afraid to go to the shops. Let's be honest,
Speaker 8: that's just hyperbole, right.
Speaker 3: And Franklin the other day there's a twenty one percent
Speaker 3: increase in twelve months too, there.
Speaker 9: Might be an increasing crime that Victorians aren't scared to go.
Speaker 5: To the shop.
Speaker 3: Well, there are some astrains that we've spoken to, particularly
Speaker 3: in Victoria. A woman who had a machete held to
Speaker 3: her throat, who's completely changed her way of life. She
Speaker 3: won't do an afternoon ship. She's worried about going out.
Speaker 9: Of the shore.
Speaker 8: But when you can see that that statement was hyperbole,
Speaker 8: like Victorians in general aren't scared to go on to
Speaker 8: Clarendon Street go to the local shops to buy their grace.
Speaker 3: And of course not every Victorian is, but there are
Speaker 3: a lot of Victorians that we've spoken to who are
Speaker 3: bloody scared.
Speaker 9: And I'm really scared. We're scared of crime, but we're
Speaker 9: not scared to go to the shop.
Speaker 7: No one, no. But you know what, it's not just him.
Speaker 7: Every poly throws out.
Speaker 9: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 6: But you know what, I'm scared to drive to work
Speaker 6: at the time we do in the morning because I'm
Speaker 6: scared of stolen cars driving down the road.
Speaker 4: I'm really scared of criming.
Speaker 1: This just back on the piles, like I was just thinking.
Speaker 1: Remember everyone thought short and had it in the in
Speaker 1: the back.
Speaker 5: Yes, twenty nineteen. The book's paid out on the Friday today.
Speaker 4: Can you bet on the election?
Speaker 9: See on everything?
Speaker 7: You can bet on Master Shift, you can bet on
Speaker 7: Peter getting.
Speaker 9: The top job. Peter, what would it mean to you
Speaker 9: to be PM of this country? We've seen you know
Speaker 9: it's it's it's an honor bestowed on very.
Speaker 7: Few, but Joe's. It doesn't look like the funnest job.
Speaker 3: Firstly to be the greatest honor because we live in
Speaker 3: the best country in the world, so that goes without saying.
Speaker 3: But look what I've demonstrated I think in my career
Speaker 3: as a police officer and in Parliament, is that I
Speaker 3: genuinely care for people. I want I want a safer community.
Speaker 3: And the crime policy is about saying that we're going
Speaker 3: to crush the crime gangs who are bringing in the
Speaker 3: illegal tobacco. They're the ones selling drugs to our kids
Speaker 3: who are breaking into homes to pay for that habit.
Speaker 3: They're stealing cars and selling those cars to the outlaw
Speaker 3: motorcycle gang. So I'm absolutely determined to make us a
Speaker 3: safer community and society. I want to make sure that
Speaker 3: we can invest into defense because we live in a
Speaker 3: really uncertain time and I want to make sure that
Speaker 3: we're safe, but our kids and grand kids are and
Speaker 3: most importantly, or as importantly, I want to make sure
Speaker 3: that Australians can have some room in their budgets. Again,
Speaker 3: there are just too many families, too many stories of
Speaker 3: people working the second third job because they're getting hammered.
Speaker 3: So bringing that cost of electricity and that cost of
Speaker 3: gas down, cutting the cost of of petrol and giving
Speaker 3: the twelve hundred bucks back. That is about providing support
Speaker 3: and saying that we've listened to people. We know they're struggling.
Speaker 7: You and Albow have been chatting on the text during
Speaker 7: this We.
Speaker 3: Haven't had much much exchange over the course of the campaign.
Speaker 3: It's been if he's been pretty busy, she's the music
Speaker 3: at Channel seven years the other night was a bit
Speaker 3: it's got a bit annoying. It was a bit annoying,
Speaker 3: blood bloody price of eggs.
Speaker 5: That'll get you, that'll get you.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I was confused to they.
Speaker 6: I feel like that was why did you have to
Speaker 6: go first. In that I would have been I would
Speaker 6: have thrown my toys out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think maybe we should have written
Speaker 3: down on a piece of paper and then compared. Notes
Speaker 3: might have been given away.
Speaker 4: I think so too, and you might have bought six eggs.
Speaker 9: Who's in your who's in your war room? If you will?
Speaker 9: On election night? How do you? How do you watch
Speaker 9: the election? I see him? It's in Brisbane? Is it
Speaker 9: family there?
Speaker 5: Family's family will be there.
Speaker 9: I assume you're not watching on the ABC.
Speaker 7: Are you watching the channel ten? The tender advocate on there?
Speaker 7: Or a bit more serious?
Speaker 3: That's sort of a bomb out on it first too,
Speaker 3: So I'll not be watching it on ABC. Look, it'll
Speaker 3: be family. It'll be your close advisors and all of
Speaker 3: those you know, sort of geeky.
Speaker 5: Analystic.
Speaker 7: Have you written your speeches?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 7: No, not, surely that's a chat GP teacher.
Speaker 5: We can talk about it after. I'll get your dad.
Speaker 4: What are your kids saying?
Speaker 6: Because I know if my dad was going out and
Speaker 6: getting out there in the public and doing radio shows
Speaker 6: like this, I'd be like, now, listen, dad, there's a
Speaker 6: few do talk about this?
Speaker 4: What are the kids?
Speaker 6: Because I think that's also a huge part of the
Speaker 6: people who are voting for your young people of this
Speaker 6: country who don't know you that Well, what advice are
Speaker 6: your kids giving you?
Speaker 4: In the running into these last few days.
Speaker 3: They look my kids just I guess they're proud as
Speaker 3: you know, as I would be of them if they were,
Speaker 3: you know, going for a job somewhere. And they they're
Speaker 3: also defensive because they say, you know, they read some
Speaker 3: of the crap online and so yeah, you know, there's
Speaker 3: just nothing like what you are who you are. But
Speaker 3: Harry came out with me. He's second year chippy apprenticeship
Speaker 3: and he sent me a post which was not from
Speaker 3: Harry Dutton twenty at you know, Brisbane or whatever it was,
Speaker 3: he says, a legitimate post which said here's the photo
Speaker 3: of Harry Dutton and Peter Dutton. It looks like Brad
Speaker 3: Pitt and mister potato head. And so it was the
Speaker 3: most self serving thing that he would he bag that
Speaker 3: he begged that.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you're not good at that they say, Dad,
Speaker 1: stay away from Like I can't throw?
Speaker 4: What did you do that for?
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't play footy, you'll take out of foot.
Speaker 5: They did that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I kicked up. Yeah, we've discussed this. It
Speaker 3: was a pretty good kick, I thought, but it.
Speaker 9: Was an ABC camera.
Speaker 5: Actually here, so look that.
Speaker 4: Okay, Hey, you've got a huge few days ahead. Good luck.
