I continue. Our experience 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.000 in Cawgooley has. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.160 Been one that has taken us to all different places. 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.880 Lots of fun tourist stuff to see around the place. 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.240 The countryside is phenomenal. With that bloke is the best 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.239 tourism guide I've seen in all the years we've done it. 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.320 He's rock and roll and we'll get to all in 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.760 a moment or two's time. Like al legend Kevin Bloody 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:51.080 Wilson my friends KBW. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.560 Got on your ripping ow gooy Native. 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:55.720 He's on the show tonight. Looking forward to this. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.000 We'll get the celebrating Kowgooley, which is a magnificent part 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.280 of the world. Honestly, you've got to come and visit. 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.000 It doesn't matter when the weather will be fine. The 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.759 people are fantastic and there is so much to see. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.399 This was the sunset that was here a bit earlier. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.600 Tonight it is absolutely ripping, okay mate, And anytime you 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.960 get outside and have a chance to go a little 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.000 further out, amazing, stargazing, just beautiful country. All right, let 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.800 us talk about politics, because you may notice we have 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.960 an election. By this time next week we will know 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.120 who has either been re elected for the next three 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.920 years or a new broom. Are you looking forward to 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:40.039 a reelection or a new broom? Room boo ons, they're saying, 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:45.160 Albert boo Earns. All right, well, correct, there are just 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.960 six days until the federal election, and an extraordinary number 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.240 of people have already voted. It is almost three million 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.320 people who have already voted. Early voting again kicks up 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.400 again tomorrow. There's about two point four million people who 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.040 have already cast their votes. I say go and do 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.640 it tomorrow. Why, because no one's going to change your mind. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.840 So let's try to change the country with your vote. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.480 And remember what you do with your preferences really matters. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.720 Five hundred thousand postal votes have already been returned. There's 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.200 another two and a half million outstanding right now. The 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.480 latest polls they show that maybe things a bottomed out 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.960 when it comes to the Liberal Party slide. But if 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.760 the polls are right, there will be a reelection of 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.720 the Albanezi government in just a few days time. The 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.200 news pole which is dropped in the Australian newspaper will 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.360 be front page news tomorrow. But I can tell you 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.160 tonight that it is going to be most likely a 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.640 hung parliament, but not by much. They're closing in on 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.640 a potential majority of seventy six seats the Labor Party 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.600 fifty two to the coalition's forty eight. Worth noting here 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.840 the one nation vote and I've talked about this how 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.000 many days, how many weeks, how many months, and now 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.040 how many years. It is now at eight percent. Paul 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.280 And in fact was here in Koguli over the weekend. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.440 She was at the Nullaboar muster, which was four hours 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.800 up the road. I can tell you that is one 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.200 of the reasons why maybe the pubs were slightly quiet 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.320 a last night, because lots of people were there. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.200 And having a good time. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.880 Well, the Pauline Hanson Party is now eight percent now 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.360 they were five percent of the last election, three points 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.280 up and with her being very clear about preferencing that 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.520 if you vote one nation preference, the LNP that is 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.040 what could be the game changer and the game savor 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.760 from the coalition, not just in terms of whether they 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.240 keep the seats they have, whether they go backwards, but 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.680 where they are able to go forwards. Now that national 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.800 number is going to be different in Western Australia where 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.160 the Upper House has got a one nation member, in 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.200 South Australia where the Upper House has a one nation member, Victoria, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.720 New South Wales, Queensland, all of those factors slightly higher, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.920 slightly lower. But you can't help but see the Labor 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.680 Party is two points higher than where they were at 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.240 the last federal election. The LMP is about where it 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.160 was at the last election. And here's the bit that 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.520 if you're a hardcore team Blue supporter is not going 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.840 to fill you with much confidence. But you know we 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.760 don't do happy talk. I'll tell you what's going on, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:03.720 so nobody wakes up. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:04.360 Surprised. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.600 News Poll did a survey of people about whether the 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.920 government deserves to be re elected or whether the opposition 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.200 is ready to govern. Just thirty nine percent of people 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.960 in Australia believe the government deserves to be re elected, 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.000 but sixty two percent are unconvinced that the opposition is 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.120 ready to govern. As for the bookies, the numbers get 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.200 tighter now. So if you think there is an upset 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.440 in the offering, better responsibly. But six dollars is what 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.839 the Coalition is paying in and around six dollars on sportsback, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.000 lab Brokes and at the tab. For his part, Peter 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.640 Dutton seems to have turned a corner and decided, bug. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.200 Of this, I'm going all in now. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.000 Yes, a significant number of people have already voted, more 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.240 people have not. There is apparently about twenty percent of 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.720 people that will make their decisions in the last few days. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.400 And Peter Dutton says, like we say on this show, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.320 nothing is inevitable. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.360 In fact, you're going to decide, not the media. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.440 We are in the fight of our lives the course 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.320 of the next six days. I have no doubt in 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.039 my mind that we can win this election. Forget about 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.279 what you've been told by the ABC and the Guardian 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.719 and the other hate media. 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:10.520 Forget about that. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.600 How Good's ripping into the Guardian the Turnbull Times. Oh 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.440 didn't they dislike that good? Bug of them? All right? Now, 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.160 As for the Prime Minister, he thinks that this tougher 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.440 tone from Pety Dutton, of course, means cue the Uga 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:26.280 booga music. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.440 A choice between building Australia's future or a darker, meaner, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:37.520 nastier reboot of the past, A choice between going forwards 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.080 or getting dragged backwards. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.560 Do you think that's what the opposition is pushing in 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.400 this election, a darker, meaner version of the past. Or 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.839 they just want to get rid of a government that 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:52.000 hasn't done great in the past three years? Right, correct? 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.240 Take the pain away, all right? I like a good 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.400 cowgolly crowd. I was promised to a fire up and 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.320 I want to get it. And if you're not allowed enough, 0:05:58.320 --> 0:05:59.640 we're going into the gold bar. And I know a 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.080 you're going to are up in there. That's the joint 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:04.560 you go to at the very end of the night. 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:05.839 I've been here for a couple of nights and I 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.560 know that. And they've got sticky feet to prove it. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.880 All right, it's said sticky shoe anyway, You get the point. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.159 One of the things that has changed during this election, 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.120 and we know it has changed polling wise during the 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.360 election is the question of cost of living. Cost of 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.920 living number one issue, But who has the better solution 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.760 to it? Have look at this This is the News 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.120 poll and some of the data behind it. It shows 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.560 that in the past month or so, massive swing towards 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.600 the Labor Party, and you can see that they're back 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.919 to where they were at the start of the voice 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.919 here in February twenty twenty three. Now, my Labor friends, 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.160 and believe it or not, there is one or two 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.760 who still talk to me. They just don't believe that 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.600 the swing is this big because, put simply, why would 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.800 you think one thing for two years and then magically 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:45.520 change your. 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.880 View in just a few weeks. 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.240 So obviously, if we're sitting here next week and that's 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.800 what all the numbers are, well, then yet all of 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:52.360 that was right. 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.040 But those huge spikes may be an area. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.320 Worth talking about if again you're trying to work out 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.040 why one team seems to be going forward while another 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.120 has either stagnated or has gone back in the past 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.919 few months. The most popular policy at this election, according 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.840 to the News poll, is the halving of the fuel tax. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.040 I think in a place like Kalgoula, you'd like to 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:17.040 have the fuel tax, right, especially when bugger flying to Perth, 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.480 I'll drive six hours. 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.200 Right, That's going to matter, Okay, particularly in big areas. 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.640 But have a look here where you can see huge 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.800 number of people. This is the blue or the light 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.360 blue that shows support for a policy. Darker the colors, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.320 the less support there has that forty nine plus twenty 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.000 seven is the most popular policy in the election. But 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.800 you can see the new killer and once you start 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.880 to get into that, people start to fire up. Let's 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.440 compare that to where the Labour Party is and because 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.400 basically all of their policies are firing money canonate people, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.160 they don't have the same negatives to all of them. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.280 Hence why the job for the opposition and Peter Duttan 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.120 is on our show Tuesday night, don't forget ask me anything, 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:56.960 and we've got questions from all. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:57.520 Over the country. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.880 We're going to see plenty of wonderful, smiling faces of 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:01.960 the Sky News audience being able to do one of 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.120 the biggest shows we've ever done in our election coverages 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.040 over all of those years, will be here on Tuesday night. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.960 Is they've got lots of questions, and they've got lots 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.640 of questions that really are not focused on where the 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.920 governments tried to change your conversation for the past couple 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.960 of weeks. So again the election comes down to has 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.120 Labor been able to change the conversation in the past 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.000 few weeks or are Australians where they have been for the. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:25.520 Past couple of years. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.920 Over on Channel seven, the final leader's debate has just 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.880 finished off and as always, there are five things that 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.520 I have to tell you about an election debate. Now, 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.160 I don't just say this because I like the People's 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.600 Forum where Sky News and obviously we're not seven, we're 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:44.199 not nine. But my goodness, it's not a freaking game show. Okay, 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.160 I get it. Detail is boring, the grains of sand 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.720 on the beaches at times a little bit complicated, but 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.480 the idea of basically grunts or cuddles being the way. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.760 That you should argue for the future of the country. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.480 You had an hour of television tread it more sea Seriously, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:05.640 I say that because they decided when they speakers were talking. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:06.319 They often have. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.800 Only about a minute and like any of us can 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.920 say anything mildly complicated about what our plans are for 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.520 the next month, let alone our actual ideas for the 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.320 country and the multifaceted way they work to do it 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.160 in a month. But as the minute was closing down, 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.960 not only is the clock there, so eventually your eye 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.080 starts not paying attention to what's being said on either side. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.959 But they had music underneath it to make it seem 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:30.880 like a game show. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:31.960 This is what I'm talking about. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.080 Look, massive spending has led to inflation staying higher for 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.160 longer and under this government, if they're re elected with 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.600 the Greens, more spending will mean higher interest rates and 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.760 that will be devastating for homeowners to right across the economy. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:50.360 Now you our Australian values and will build Australia's future. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.560 And we know the impact that that has on the 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:54.920 Australian people. 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.320 Is to fix up the energy crisis because that's what's 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.720 driven up the cost of food by thirty percent. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:00.760 It's driven up the. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.800 Cost of everything across the economy and that has to be. 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:09.080 The real I think, when you think about it, that's 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.880 really annoying. And obviously the leaders had it in their 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.839 head as well. So think about this all right, as 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.920 a person who is lucky enough I can't claim can't dance, 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:20.880 is able to think on the top of my head 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.760 about all sorts of complicated pieces of information. Again my 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.000 only superpower, right, But if you started to introduce somebody 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:32.120 talking in my ear, which sometimes happens, or you introduce music, 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.680 you're going to start to you start to pay attention 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.480 to the clock. So I understand that for a lot 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.880 of people that don't pay as much attention as you 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.880 guys do in the room and people watching at home. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.040 But surely there's a midpoint between me banging on for 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:46.800 thirty five. 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.600 Minutes about the little data that. 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.800 Comes here and there all the sixty seconds music playing 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:53.360 up stuff. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.720 I thought it was quite strange, all right. Number two 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.400 Dutton turned up. 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.160 Peter Dutton clearly won the debate, and this will not 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.760 be one of those fifty to fifty calls. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:04.120 Okay. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.000 The only people that are going to say that Albo 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.360 won the debate are people who are going to already 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.120 thought that he won the debate before it took place. Now, 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.120 you could be a labor supporter, but you cannot watch 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.320 the past hour of television and conclude that Dutton didn't 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.920 come prepared and he hit very hard. Now that will 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.000 of course be interpreted by the love media or the hate. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.640 Media, as he says, as the nasty turn to the past. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.160 I think people just want to see some fight, right, 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.240 because we're tired of the PMBs, We're tired of the 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.680 media trying to change the subject. So sometimes you've got 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.360 to go a little bit loud, to go up and 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.160 over the top of the gatekeepers. Remember, majority of people 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.720 have not voted. The polls say one thing. The book 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.920 he say one thing. If that's the case, then their 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.480 science works. But it's up to you to have the 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.960 conversations with your family members. It's up to you to 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.839 decide how this election goes. Not do what he is 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.959 expected or what you imagine your neighbor to be doing. Remember, 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.520 you get the chance to decide whether it's three more 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.680 years of the same or the joint change's course. As 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.760 for the Prime Minister, surprise, surprise, same old scares of 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.680 everything from work from home to cutting public servants. But 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.480 let's get to the number four. In the things that 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.480 I've noticed here in the debate, many of the questions 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.000 were more so sort of empty statements than any kind 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.840 of tight or hard question. In fact, this is a 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.319 little example of what was being asked of the leaders. 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:32.280 What will you do from Sunday to make their lives easier? 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:36.680 What does the Australian dream look like today? For an 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:40.880 average Australian in the property market. Mister Dutton, you're promising 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.520 nuclear energy in ten years. Mister Albanezy, you're back in 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.600 green energy. Why do you think your plan is best? 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.280 To keep the lights on, mister Dutton. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.040 But it did start to get specific and the specific 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.240 question that was asked by Mark Riley and up the 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.640 moment of the debate and potentially a turning point in 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.960 the election. I know that means I'm putting a lot 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.040 of weight on it, but this was the question and Cargooley, 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.199 if you have an opinion, feel free to cheerboo or 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.400 say what you think after this question. 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.480 Mister Dutton as Prime minister, we know you won't stand 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.240 in front of the indigenous flag. Will you have Welcome 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.880 to country ceremonies where you have smoking ceremonies? Will you 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.680 acknowledge the traditional owners at your official events? 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.000 Do you think that's a big election issue? 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.160 Yeah, well, guess what Peter Dutton decided to use the 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.720 moment where she firstly explained that the fakeness of that 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.559 question that you refused this none. I'm going to stay 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.440 in front of the Australian flag because of the Australian flag 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:49.920 is the. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.800 One symbol for all people. And then he went there. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.199 He went there and said that there have been too 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.480 many ceremonies when it comes to welcome to country, that 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.760 it's something that should only be kept for speed occasions, 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.199 not the opening of an envelope, not the start of 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.520 a meeting, not the start of a football game. You 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.360 agree or you like an I apologize we didn't open 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:10.400 tonight's program with that. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.640 I know my crowd. Though I know my crowd. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.600 This will be a big part of the news and 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.560 a little later, if I get the chance, I'll show you. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.280 Otherwise this will be the talking point of the next 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.880 few days. So those are the five things. All right, 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.160 Politics done, Let's celebrate Calgoley. We're happy to be here 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.360 and there's lots to tell you about this incredible part 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.880 of Australia. Look, if you're happen to be driving from 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.080 Perth across the country, you'll be at six hour drive, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.960 otherwise about an hour in and it is a magical 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.680 part of Australia, one that is famous for its goal. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.160 It's the heart and soul for Australia's gold mining industry. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.920 The super Pit is a phenomenal It's this massive gold 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.160 mine where the trucks take an hour to get from 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.200 the top of the bottom. It's like four k's across 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.880 and five k's wide. 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:56.400 It is amazing. We're going to have a look at 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:57.080 that in a second. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.600 As for beautiful Cowgooley, there's twenty nine thousand, three hundred 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.080 and six people who live here, and occasional topless waitresses 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.600 about another two hundred and fifty, but we don't count 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:12.960 them in the census thirty four. I'm just getting the haircut. 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.120 Thirty four very specific local reference. 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.320 Thirty four is the media range here and the most 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.360 frequent country of birth outside of Australia is New Zealand. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.360 Any kiwis in the room tonight, Cura all right? As 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:28.840 did I get it right? 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.560 Loose? Good? She's like our live in New Zealand here 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:32.080 all right. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.920 Well, we had an opportunity to be able to look around, 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.400 to see things from the air, but also to introduce 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:38.840 you to Alan. 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.960 Alan is a tour guide. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.040 This bloke, like I know, there's a mayor and MPs 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:45.240 and we're going to get them all on. But this 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.440 guy find a way to make this bloke citizen in 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.600 the year every year, because not only was he a 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.680 great tour guide. I reckon he's a great TV talent 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.240 as well. Our boss is paying attention. Let's give him 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:56.160 a show once a week. 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:13.480 More. In a second, here we go. Cagooley's on the 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.840 edge of the desert. That's the outback of Australia. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.760 And one of the highlights of Calgooley is something that 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.080 has made a lot of people a lot of money 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.680 over a long time. Gold Baby. This is gold country 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.480 and this is the super pit. Kilometers this way, kilometers 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.400 that way, and it's got at least another twenty years 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.920 of life in it. It takes what about an hour 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.240 to drive one of these trucks from the top to 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.400 the bottom. And the bloke is going to show us 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.240 around this joint is a guy called Alan. He's the 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:45.800 best tour guide I've. 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.480 Ever ever seen. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.880 Sixty three million ounces. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.240 Of gold twice as much to come out, and the 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:02.640 already taken out all right. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:03.040 To your match. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.680 It's about five thousand ounce now, yeah, not always, and. 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.800 At what it does cost them. It costs them one thousand, 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.520 six hundred and forty dollars an ounce to put it 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.480 into gold bar right, work that out, So they're making lots. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.760 Of money they're supposed to be hired by now, but no, no, 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:17.880 he loves a joint so much. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.080 Yeah, he's going to tell you everything he knows. Let's 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.120 start here right. 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.040 This is the bucket off the big shovel at the 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.560 scoop seventy ton of one scoop yep. It's worth one 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.080 point two million dollars and it loads a dump truck 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.240 every four minutes. The diger has cost about one eighteen 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.159 point five million dollars just for the digger. So that 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.000 operates in the pit fall day, twenty four hours a day, 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.359 seven days a week, non stop. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:46.720 Everything's big in Western Australia. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:51.000 This superpt is owned by Norman Star. There's twelve hundred 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.400 workers here and you must reside in Calgildy to work here. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:57.199 They don't like fly and fly out. As keeps the 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.160 town going, keeps it together. And it's about forty three 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:01.960 dump trucks going up and down the present in the 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:23.840 pet by twenty twenty seven that it should be about seventy. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:28.320 Okay, up, we've spent the day with the Gold Country 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:38.040 under our faith. What does it look like from the sky? 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.840 So the supplicated itself right now is about six hundred 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.480 meters seven hundred meters deep in the ground. At the moment, 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.000 we are about five hundred and fifty meters above in 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:16.320 the air. 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:18.960 So the hole in the ground is deeper than we 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.679 are above in right now. Yes, we are half we 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:26.040 are we're half okay in the sky and. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.399 This is more than half a kay into the dirt. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:40.480 Yeah, and we were just down there where alf. You 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:41.199 have to do this. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.320 You have to see the colors, you have to feel 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.560 the sky, you have to see forever. This is a 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:51.240 spectacular way, the best way to see at back Australia. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:58.760 Seven the sky. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:19:59.879 Who are flying us? 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:03.800 I thought it was interesting that most of the telemetry 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.080 showed the plane was flying like this for most of 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.159 the time while I was sitting on the back. But 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.560 there he goes you eventually was able to constantly get 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.080 it back a nice and level because she had some 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.919 brother large cargo. All right, Three people who know this 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:16.679
