Speaker 1: This is Paul Murray Live. Friend the welcome Everydings.
Speaker 2: We are here having a good old fashioned time.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone in Brasee. How are they up the back?
Speaker 2: Good stuff? God love you here. We're here at the
Speaker 2: Eden Hill Hotel. Peter Dutton will be here a little
Speaker 2: bit later to take our pub test.
Speaker 3: Where are People of the Pulmary Live audience decide to
Speaker 3: ask whatever question they want, they'll get the chance to
Speaker 3: do that with the alternative Prime Minister a little bit later.
Speaker 3: We'll also have a deeper conversation about the Queensland election
Speaker 3: with Chris Jones, of course from the Courier Mail, who's
Speaker 3: well got all sorts of insights as well as no
Speaker 3: doubt their final polls all the rest of that. If not,
Speaker 3: he's going to have to quickly do one now. And
Speaker 3: Cameron Milner, of course, who you know, is willing to
Speaker 3: tell the truth about the way the Labor Party does
Speaker 3: or more importantly at times does not work. But first,
Speaker 3: I love Queensland and I'm not saying that in the
Speaker 3: political pandering way, that in the way that for as
Speaker 3: long as I've been able to choose where I go
Speaker 3: on holidays, I have from schoolies to Tooley's to now
Speaker 3: been coming to Queensland. I've been going to the Jew storm,
Speaker 3: sunny curls. I've got family up the road and the
Speaker 3: best of possible friends here. Now, I don't say all
Speaker 3: of this to suck up to you. I say this
Speaker 3: to say you've got a huge choice on Saturday. I
Speaker 3: love Queensland. It's the place that I would choose to
Speaker 3: live if I had the free choice. It's the place
Speaker 3: I choose to be when I am at my best self,
Speaker 3: when I share it with my friends and with my family.
Speaker 3: This is a magical and special place. And on Saturday
Speaker 3: you have a chance to make a decision about who
Speaker 3: you want to run it for the next four years.
Speaker 3: It's not just an election, it's about a custodianship. So
Speaker 3: tonight I wanted to say right off the start, after
Speaker 3: saying what I've said about why I love Queensland and
Speaker 3: it's people, why I love everything here, there is a
Speaker 3: lie at the heart of this election that is very effective.
Speaker 3: It is the best lie that has been issued in
Speaker 3: Australian politics since the Labor Party claimed the medi Scare
Speaker 3: campaign back in twenty sixteen. It is a claim front
Speaker 3: and center that there is going to be a change
Speaker 3: to abortion in this state. Now, this is not part
Speaker 3: of any party platform yet the Labor Party, unable to
Speaker 3: have a record to run on, rather than saying what
Speaker 3: their performance has been in the past four years or
Speaker 3: the years before that or the years before that, have
Speaker 3: found a way to change the subject. It was a
Speaker 3: lie the first time they said it, and it is
Speaker 3: a lie today now in all three debates or people's forums,
Speaker 3: David crucifully, when confronted with the lie, has said this.
Speaker 4: There will be no change to those laws.
Speaker 5: Changes to that Act are not part of the plan
Speaker 5: and they will not be changed. There'll be no changes
Speaker 5: and I haven't moved one millimeter. There's going to be
Speaker 5: no change to abortion walls in Queensland.
Speaker 3: So it's definitely not part of their plan. He has
Speaker 3: said multiple times it is not part of their plan.
Speaker 3: Even when the worst case scenario where someone who is
Speaker 3: a backbencher says, if I could do if I could
Speaker 3: have my say, we'd have a vote on it. I'll
Speaker 3: tell you how that vote's going to go. It'll stay
Speaker 3: the way it is. The entire Labor Party will vote
Speaker 3: for it to stay the way it is. Three quarters
Speaker 3: four fifths of the Liberal Party will vote for no change,
Speaker 3: meaning even on day one, if there was a vote
Speaker 3: on abortion, it will not change. Yet Stephen Miles, despite
Speaker 3: the fact that he knows this, despite the fact that
Speaker 3: he has looked into the eyes of the person saying
Speaker 3: it is a lie, keeps telling the lie roll the tape.
Speaker 6: Can anyone tell from David's answer just then what he
Speaker 6: thinks about this issue. I mean, this is a really
Speaker 6: important issue where you have a conscience, spoke, give a
Speaker 6: straight answer.
Speaker 1: Are your pro choice or not? Now?
Speaker 3: For Queensland, like every other state or federal election, like
Speaker 3: half of people are going to vote before Saturday, which
Speaker 3: means many people who have already voted have walked past
Speaker 3: a sign that is a lie. The sign couldn't be
Speaker 3: any clearer. The sign says a vote for the LMP
Speaker 3: is a vote to make abortion the crime.
Speaker 1: This is a lie. You know it in this room,
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It to people that are watching. But to the people
Speaker 3: who you pass this video on too, they need to
Speaker 3: know that it is a lie.
Speaker 1: This should be illegal.
Speaker 3: Politicians can tell mistruths, they can shade a little this
Speaker 3: and that, but if you say you're definitely not doing something,
Speaker 3: but they're still able to hold up a sign saying
Speaker 3: you're definitely going to do it. You can make anything up.
Speaker 3: If you are a person who is convinced by this,
Speaker 3: I understand why you're convinced by this, because you think
Speaker 3: the system has guardrails in it that people can't lie
Speaker 3: to you like this. But they can, and the system
Speaker 3: and the guard rails have been written by this government.
Speaker 3: They decided to make this a preferential election, not a
Speaker 3: first past the post, because they know they don't have
Speaker 3: enough votes, so they hope for the preferences of people
Speaker 3: like the Greens. They know that because they do not
Speaker 3: have a record to run on. They change the way
Speaker 3: your elections are funded.
Speaker 1: Here where as opposed to a political party.
Speaker 3: Being able to raise as much money as it wants
Speaker 3: and then to be able to spend it how it chooses,
Speaker 3: they set a law in place that is as bad
Speaker 3: as Joe's jerry mandering of the seventies and eighties, which
Speaker 3: said that a political party Greens, one Nation, Liberal Labor
Speaker 3: can only spend x amount of dollars in one seat
Speaker 3: at one time. Okay, that's a level playing field, but
Speaker 3: you know who also can spend one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 3: an independent group in Queensland. Despite the fact that the
Speaker 3: Labor Party and the Union Movement are literally joined at
Speaker 3: the hip, you cannot be a member of the Party
Speaker 3: in the Parliament without being a unionist. They are fifty
Speaker 3: percent of the say of the constitution of the party.
Speaker 3: Guests who gets counted as an independent group the unions
Speaker 3: and the unions are also limited. Each individual union can
Speaker 3: spend an x amount of dollars per seed. Well, guess
Speaker 3: what happens when two of them join up. That's a
Speaker 3: two to one advantage on everyone else in the race.
Speaker 3: In this state there are more than fifteen us that
Speaker 3: are registered, which means at any one time, in any
Speaker 3: one seat, at any one moment, one side of politics
Speaker 3: is able to outspend everyone else ten to one.
Speaker 1: They did that.
Speaker 3: And they don't want to be judged on that because
Speaker 3: they expect most people in Queensland are busy doing something else,
Speaker 3: watching something else, reading something else. Well, tonight, the reason
Speaker 3: I start this program the way I do is you
Speaker 3: now have a resource to show them. Send this video
Speaker 3: to someone who you know needs to know the truth.
Speaker 3: The abortion thing is a lie. It is not changing
Speaker 3: no matter what. In Queensland, the union rigging of the
Speaker 3: electoral spending means people are able to spread lies on
Speaker 3: the party's behalf when they are the party. This would
Speaker 3: be a scandal if it was a property developer.
Speaker 1: Oh, because it's a union.
Speaker 3: It's just the way it is in a state where
Speaker 3: the stop go person gets paid two hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 3: because the union are able to stand over the government.
Speaker 3: And I also say this about the union movement too,
Speaker 3: should there be a change of government, as sure as
Speaker 3: Sunday is the day after the election, the unions who
Speaker 3: have stayed silent about a shitty health system will tell
Speaker 3: you every problem that has ever happened. And in real time,
Speaker 3: the same people who have stayed silent about youth crime
Speaker 3: will tell you about every broken window. Because this is
Speaker 3: how their plan if they lose government is to win
Speaker 3: it straight away. It worked in South Australia one term
Speaker 3: liberal government. It worked in Queensland the last time around
Speaker 3: with one term liberal government. All of this is so
Speaker 3: you know what's going on because you watch this show,
Speaker 3: because you get the detail.
Speaker 1: You understand that on this show we.
Speaker 3: Don't just look at the beach, We count the grains
Speaker 3: of sand, And while every other person quite rightly is
Speaker 3: busy and just might drive past the beach on the
Speaker 3: way to the cafe, or might only turn up to
Speaker 3: the beach every couple of times a year because they're
Speaker 3: on holidays. You need people in the debate who know
Speaker 3: the grains are sand. So the abortion thing is a lie.
Speaker 3: But the following things are not lives. The following are
Speaker 3: human beings who no longer are alive in Queensland because
Speaker 3: firstly of youth crime. Emma Lovell is not a lie.
Speaker 3: She was killed on Boxing Day in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: Carlos Stewart was killed in Ipswich in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: He is not a billboard. He is not a lie.
Speaker 3: Renee Laddermore, a seventeen year old, was charged with her
Speaker 3: murder in August in Mackay of twenty twenty one, Scott,
Speaker 3: the forty seven year old uber driver, a seventeen year
Speaker 3: old boy along with an eighteen year.
Speaker 1: Old were charged with his murder. This is real Queensland.
Speaker 3: This is not the BS, this is not the Union Line,
Speaker 3: this is not the poster. This is the record they
Speaker 3: are running away from and why they are changing the subject.
Speaker 3: Jennifer Broad, a twenty two year old no longer with us.
Speaker 3: Matthew feel and his beautiful wife Kate.
Speaker 1: You know their story and you.
Speaker 3: Know that their dad or sorry, her dad, is going
Speaker 3: to be running as a candidate of this election. There's
Speaker 3: also Michael he was hit with a stolen car in
Speaker 3: Winnham two years ago. And then there are the people
Speaker 3: who have died because the ambulance didn't turn.
Speaker 1: Up, or they died in the back of the endmbulance.
Speaker 3: And that was run by the premier who used to
Speaker 3: be the health minister. There is nowhere to hide while
Speaker 3: he talks about reproductive rights, what about the right to
Speaker 3: when you call triple the ambulance turns up. What about
Speaker 3: the right that, after three terms of government that when
Speaker 3: the ambulance turns up, that you go to a hospital
Speaker 3: and you go to the emergency ward. You do not
Speaker 3: sit in the back of the ambulance, You do not
Speaker 3: sit in the.
Speaker 5: Hallway, You do not die alone.
Speaker 7: Those who will not be voting at this election Robert Miller,
Speaker 7: he died after waiting for six hours for an ambulance.
Speaker 7: Kath Groom, who called an ambulance it didn't turn up.
Speaker 1: She went to bed.
Speaker 3: Her son found her dead because the vibulence didn't turn up.
Speaker 1: Wayne Irving.
Speaker 3: There are stories after stories, but more importantly people after people.
Speaker 3: Derek de Witt, these people have all died in the
Speaker 3: last term of this government. For God's sake, vote for
Speaker 3: them to get rid of this lying mob. Now, a
Speaker 3: couple of other things before we get to Peter Dutton,
Speaker 3: and we look forward to those questions in a moment
Speaker 3: or two time. Now, of course, power bills, as we
Speaker 3: know greatest Prime Minister of all time, Anthony Albernezi, what
Speaker 3: was that promise that he made of the last election,
Speaker 3: because I'm still waiting for it to pay off roll tape.
Speaker 8: Two hundred and seventy five dollars, two hundred and seventy
Speaker 8: five dollars, two hundred and seventy five dollars, two hundred
Speaker 8: and seventy five dollars, two hundred and seventy five, two
Speaker 8: hundred and seventy five, two hundred and seventy far, two
Speaker 8: hundred and sey five, two hundred and seventy five, two
Speaker 8: hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 3: And you know how we have to spend billions of
Speaker 3: dollars going from the system that worked to the system
Speaker 3: that we hope works, because apparently that was going to
Speaker 3: be cheaper.
Speaker 1: Right, Roll the tape on this idiot.
Speaker 8: We're not walking away from our commitment to get more
Speaker 8: renewables into the system. And yes, they are the cheapest
Speaker 8: form of energy available, the cheapest form of energy that's
Speaker 8: ever been available.
Speaker 3: The boss of a email came out today and said,
Speaker 3: guess what, even if all of this happens and when
Speaker 3: they get everything they want, guess what, the power bills
Speaker 3: won't actually be cheaper. Roll the tape on this bloke.
Speaker 9: But you're saying you cannot guarantee that the current government
Speaker 9: policy settings which you model will deliver lower power prices.
Speaker 10: I can't guarantee that, No, And what I would say
Speaker 10: is we would try to be quite clear about the
Speaker 10: communication of our message, which is that the integrated system plan,
Speaker 10: which considers these things generation, storage, and major transmission upgrades,
Speaker 10: is the lowest cost pathway. It doesn't refer to whether
Speaker 10: it's cheaper or more expensive for that wholesale component.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah, bullshit blah blah blah. That goes
Speaker 3: on with these people. Right, we definitely must move from
Speaker 3: this thing to that thing. How much will that cost?
Speaker 3: I don't know, are trillion dollars? Okay, so I've got
Speaker 3: to pay the trillion dollars and then it's going to
Speaker 3: be cheaper, right, Oh absolutely? Okay, cool, here's a few
Speaker 3: hundred billion dollars, so it's going to be cheaper.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Maybe not, but you've already put the deposit down, so
Speaker 3: you might as well pay the rest of the bills.
Speaker 1: Fitting Now, Trump's winning, my friends, Trump is winning in
Speaker 1: his election. I don't say that to revue up and.
Speaker 3: I, as you know, I've been cautious through all of this.
Speaker 3: Here's the latest polls, right seven swing states that matter.
Speaker 1: This is the average. Okay.
Speaker 3: Trump is winning in Arizona, He's winning in Nevada, He's
Speaker 3: winning in Michigan with consin Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia. Okay,
Speaker 3: if all of that happens, we're having a very good
Speaker 3: night on the fifth of November. However, there may be
Speaker 3: one or twos that obviously don't turn up. So at
Speaker 3: this moment in time, things are going well. There's also
Speaker 3: about thirteen to fifteen million people who have already voted early,
Speaker 3: and smarter people than I are able to work out
Speaker 3: what's happening with that vote. If you're in this room
Speaker 3: or you're watching Telly right now, lean forward, because guess what.
Speaker 3: Trump's winning that too.
Speaker 11: If the early vote numbers stay the way they are,
Speaker 11: and that's a big if, we'll almost certainly know before
Speaker 11: election day who's going to win the election. We're going
Speaker 11: to talk a lot about that, the reasons why Democrats
Speaker 11: might be underperforming, the prospect that they'll recover.
Speaker 1: So as for Cabala, Harris, guess what she did today? Nothing?
Speaker 1: She literally she took the freaking day off.
Speaker 3: Now, she did do an interview with NBC which was
Speaker 3: supposed to be friendly.
Speaker 1: But let's find out whether this was a good interview
Speaker 1: or a bad interview.
Speaker 3: First, are the last four years an obstacle to you?
Speaker 1: Softball? Softball Harris?
Speaker 12: Here's how I look at it. First of all, let
Speaker 12: me be very clear. Mine will not be a continuation
Speaker 12: of the Biden administration. I bring my own experiences, my
Speaker 12: own ideas to it, and it has informed a number
Speaker 12: of my areas of focus, most of which are on
Speaker 12: to your point, lowering costs. I am traveling the country.
Speaker 12: I am very clear coast to grocery is still too high.
Speaker 12: The voters know what I know it.
Speaker 3: She was asked whether or she agreed with people like
Speaker 3: Barack Obama who think sexism is involved softball kill a
Speaker 3: Malaga flop?
Speaker 13: Do you think there is sexism at play here?
Speaker 12: Let me just tell you something. You've come to my
Speaker 12: events and you will see there are men and women
Speaker 12: at those events. So the experience that I am having
Speaker 12: is one in which it is clear that, regardless of
Speaker 12: someone's gender, they want to know that their president has
Speaker 12: a plan of lower cost, that their president has a
Speaker 12: plan to secure America in the context of our position
Speaker 12: around the world.
Speaker 3: And two weeks out from the election where she hopes
Speaker 3: to replace him, let's talk about just how sleepy, sleepy
Speaker 3: Joe Woods softball op come on odds?
Speaker 13: Can you say that you were honest with the American
Speaker 13: people about what you saw in those moments with President
Speaker 13: Biden as you were with him again and again repeatedly
Speaker 13: in that time.
Speaker 12: Of course, Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced and
Speaker 12: capable in every way that anyone would want if they're president.
Speaker 4: You never saw anything like.
Speaker 13: What happened at the debate night behind closed doors with him.
Speaker 12: It was a bad debate.
Speaker 1: People have bad debates.
Speaker 13: Should he is, absolutely, that's the reason why you're here.
Speaker 13: And he's not running for the top of the ticket.
Speaker 12: Well, you'd have to ask him if that's the only reason,
Speaker 12: why what do you think I am running for president
Speaker 12: of the United States? Joe Biden is not.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: All right, ladies and gentlemen, the alternative Prime Minister, the
Speaker 3: leader of the Liberal Party and m Knight none other
Speaker 3: than pet it up.
Speaker 1: Please work, I.
Speaker 2: Take a stake, take a seat, take a seat mine. Well,
Speaker 2: welcome back. We've done this before and thank you very
Speaker 2: much for doing it again for us. It's welcome to
Speaker 2: a part of the world. Had good, right audience, Well,
Speaker 2: you can tell the difference lock time.
Speaker 3: That's the politician, right, Let's see the difference between the
Speaker 3: Queenslander and the wannabe Queenslander.
Speaker 1: I'm sweating.
Speaker 4: He's like, this is just the stuff.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that.
Speaker 3: So how the interview goes? I love your sweating. Later
Speaker 3: and all right, well we'll see where the questions are
Speaker 3: from good people today. Interestingly and amazingly, ninety one percent
Speaker 3: of people who were surveyed disagreed with what Lydia Thorpe
Speaker 3: did you were in the room, What were you thinking
Speaker 3: at that particular moment when no one's cheering her on,
Speaker 3: no one's murmuring, no one's clapping, She's just.
Speaker 1: Making the spectacle of herself in front of the king.
Speaker 7: Well, I couldn't see her from where I was sitting,
Speaker 7: so I hadn't seen before that that she was standing
Speaker 7: with her back to the king as he spoke.
Speaker 4: So I think it was entirely predictable that if she.
Speaker 7: Was in the room and she was carrying on like that,
Speaker 7: that she was going to form some stunt, which is
Speaker 7: exactly what she does now. The difficulty in talking about
Speaker 7: it is that you're giving her the attention that she wants,
Speaker 7: and she seeks in craves. But I think the government
Speaker 7: has real questions to answer because once she had made
Speaker 7: her stay sort of performed the stunt, it was very
Speaker 7: a very slow reaction for the escort out of the room,
Speaker 7: and I just think the government should have been better
Speaker 7: prepared for it, and they would have planned and they
Speaker 7: would have had discussions, but for whatever reason, they didn't
Speaker 7: jump in quickly enough.
Speaker 3: What's your response to the AEM most stuff that came
Speaker 3: out of centered estimates today where government's made a decision.
Speaker 3: They say there was the fork in the road in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. There are hundreds of billions down the road.
Speaker 3: A lot of that is off budget, meaning we never
Speaker 3: actually see how big all of that is. Yet they
Speaker 3: themselves turn around and say, despite the main sales pitch
Speaker 3: that at the end of this rainbow, it's cheaper ed.
Speaker 1: Might'en be well?
Speaker 7: I just think some of the emotion is now being
Speaker 7: replaced with the reality and as you pull the sheet
Speaker 7: back on this, you're going to start to see a
Speaker 7: lot of anomalies. And Chris Bowen, I think has been
Speaker 7: misleading the Australian people, along with Anthony Ovineasy for years now.
Speaker 7: If you look at the off sure Win turbines, they've
Speaker 7: got a life of nineteen years, so you have four
Speaker 7: cycles full life cycles compared to the nuclear reactor which
Speaker 7: has got a life of between sixty eighty and probably
Speaker 7: extending out to a century. And none of that second, third,
Speaker 7: fourth life is taken into consideration in their program. So
Speaker 7: the whole thing is a hoax and I think the
Speaker 7: penny has dropped for a lot of Australians. A lot
Speaker 7: people have been well ahead of this debate and the
Speaker 7: frustration is building in the community because when the Prime
Speaker 7: Minister promised on ninety seven occasions he'd reduced power bills,
Speaker 7: both two hundred and seventy five dollars for most people
Speaker 7: have gone up by one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: And amazingly, if your promise in going into twenty thirteen
Speaker 3: was stop the boats, but two years in they weren't stopping,
Speaker 3: people would be going nuts.
Speaker 4: I mean, this was a sab would be outraged, wouldn't.
Speaker 3: They Just yeah, they may also actually be investigating what
Speaker 3: may or may not have happened inside the Deputy Prime
Speaker 3: Minister's office. I know that's right only even it's Barnaby Joyce.
Speaker 3: But we get the idea, right. Let's get to some
Speaker 3: questions here and then old Pepper as we go along.
Speaker 3: We have Nicole who's here? Nicole Peter Dunn't what do
Speaker 3: you want to ask you?
Speaker 9: Good evening, mister Dalton. My question is how is Lydia
Speaker 9: thought allowed.
Speaker 14: To continue as a senator when she's stood before the
Speaker 14: King and clearly denounced her oath.
Speaker 7: Well, she's given an oath to the Parliament and she
Speaker 7: needs to honor that oath. But the way our democracy
Speaker 7: works is if somebody is elected at an election in
Speaker 7: the in the Senate for six years, their term is
Speaker 7: for six years and it's now up to the Australian
Speaker 7: people to vote her out.
Speaker 1: She was obviously voted.
Speaker 4: In as a Green and has departed.
Speaker 7: She's even too radical for the Greens, which is quite
Speaker 7: a phenomenal statement. I think it should be an alarm bell,
Speaker 7: particularly for a lot of younger Australians who are thinking
Speaker 7: the Greens are all about the environment, when in actual fact,
Speaker 7: the green facade on the shop front is nothing like
Speaker 7: what happens when you step into the store. It's just
Speaker 7: a radical, you know show, and there's all sorts of
Speaker 7: crazy policies that they espouse, and she is a key
Speaker 7: proponent of that.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Nicole.
Speaker 3: I'll get Jane up Nicks, but before that, I want
Speaker 3: to explain part of how our pub test is.
Speaker 1: Going to work.
Speaker 3: Right, we're a little way out from an election, so
Speaker 3: the year there's going to be questions about what will
Speaker 3: go here and how much of this cost and all
Speaker 3: the rest. But also people want the opportunity to ask
Speaker 3: you questions to get better know the person. This of
Speaker 3: course will be the section that they will write about
Speaker 3: in The Guardian tomorrow. But still let's find out from
Speaker 3: Jane Jane a question for Peter Dutton here tonight on
Speaker 3: Paul Murray Love.
Speaker 4: Hi, mister.
Speaker 14: Have you ever been given advice that has added to
Speaker 14: your successful career?
Speaker 4: Have I ever been given advice?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 7: And for all the kids out there watching tonight, listen
Speaker 7: to your mother and father.
Speaker 4: They're very wise and the advice that they give to you.
Speaker 7: I think the most important thing that I learned, particularly
Speaker 7: from a young age, was just a work ethic, good
Speaker 7: manners and respect for people who are older than you.
Speaker 7: And I always believe if people work hard, they're polite.
Speaker 7: I think doors open and opportunities present. So I think
Speaker 7: that was probably early on at a very basic level.
Speaker 7: I'm in John Howard has been a mentor of mine
Speaker 7: for almost twenty five years, and I catch up with
Speaker 7: him regularly and bounce ideas off him, and I had
Speaker 7: a great deal of respect for him when he was
Speaker 7: in the Parliament and the way that he's conducted himself
Speaker 7: since he's left. And there are other role models that
Speaker 7: I've had and other people whose views I really take
Speaker 7: the heart when they send me a text and say
Speaker 7: well done, or why did you say that?
Speaker 3: So what about You know, inevitably, as a politician, you'll
Speaker 3: always have somebody who'll say, mate, if you just do this,
Speaker 3: it'll all falled in together. Are there people who say tie?
Speaker 3: No tie, jacket, no jacket, change the.
Speaker 1: Color and the glasses? What? How silly? Can some of
Speaker 1: the advice be?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 7: I remember one of my mates said to me, but
Speaker 7: you look so much better with longer hair. I said,
Speaker 7: look for you know, ball, this is not sort of
Speaker 7: a choice that that I've.
Speaker 4: Made in life.
Speaker 7: And but yeah, and he was telling the truth, but
Speaker 7: just didn't accord with how I could address it.
Speaker 4: But I know there's a bit of debate about that.
Speaker 7: But I just don't have much interest in id test,
Speaker 7: going clothes shopping and normally carely or bring something back
Speaker 7: or the kids will buy tie something like that, or
Speaker 7: I do one shop a year and that's about it.
Speaker 7: So I don't take too much of that seriously. And
Speaker 7: but yes, I mean they're all, you know, all sorts
Speaker 7: of free advice. And generally what happens is particularly on
Speaker 7: an issue, and you'll get, you know, flurry of message
Speaker 7: messages from mates and some will be saying you know,
Speaker 7: go go black, some will say go white, And in
Speaker 7: the end you've got to make the call yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if it's for me, it's just bet On
Speaker 1: Red to go go and see what happens. Now. Also,
Speaker 1: what I'm interested.
Speaker 3: In is that you were very out early on the
Speaker 3: job summer when you went no, I'm not turning up
Speaker 3: to that, right.
Speaker 1: We know where you were on the voice.
Speaker 3: We know where we are when it comes to nuclear
Speaker 3: and I've been somebody who again can get quite lost
Speaker 3: in the data and the reads and go on, what
Speaker 3: about here and there and all this demographic and you know,
Speaker 3: when you're trying to work out whether the country has
Speaker 3: how much the country has changed forever versus how much
Speaker 3: it was just a choice they made one way or
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 1: Matt Canavan spoke to me once when I.
Speaker 3: Was emin extolling the virtues about well but what about
Speaker 3: this seat and what about that seat? And it says
Speaker 3: will make you either believe in something and you're back
Speaker 3: it all the way, or you can stand for nothing.
Speaker 1: Trying to triangulate yourself. It's pretty obvious that again.
Speaker 3: As you say, when people like John Howard or your
Speaker 3: mentor that if you pick a north star, you pick
Speaker 3: the north star. How do you know the difference between
Speaker 3: conviction and pigheadedness? Sometimes though about No, I've set the
Speaker 3: course and that's the way.
Speaker 1: We're going to go.
Speaker 7: Look, I think there's some natural instinct or ability that
Speaker 7: people have in you know, leadership positions, and I think
Speaker 7: a part of it is, you know, it is part
Speaker 7: of the trade and that you've learned and you've seen
Speaker 7: the mistakes that have been made. I always say the
Speaker 7: good prime ministers, and I've worked closely with four of them,
Speaker 7: and I've watched the others on the other side, that
Speaker 7: you know that there are issues that just get fired
Speaker 7: at you every day, and it's obviously a difficult job.
Speaker 7: But the good prime ministers, out of the twenty balls
Speaker 7: that they've got the air, you know, land fifteen by
Speaker 7: lunchtime and they sweat a few and there's one by
Speaker 7: the end of the day that really is you know,
Speaker 7: a torture. The bad prime Minister's got forty balls in
Speaker 7: the air by Tuesday. And I think unless you've got
Speaker 7: the instinct and unless you have an understanding of you know,
Speaker 7: I think there's a moral compass in it as well.
Speaker 7: You know, the difference between right and wrong, and if
Speaker 7: you get it wrong then you need to fess up
Speaker 7: and be honest about that. And I think people accept
Speaker 7: that you're human and you make mistakes, but they also
Speaker 7: want to know that when you have conviction and when
Speaker 7: you state a position, that you've made that decision and
Speaker 7: that statement for the right reasons and that you will
Speaker 7: argue on their behalf if they feel that you've made
Speaker 7: the right decision, and I think they take comfort from that.
Speaker 3: So the bad Prome ministers have got forty balls in
Speaker 3: the air. Has Albo got an entire rebel sport franchise.
Speaker 1: In the air right now?
Speaker 3: Like he's got every He's got cricket bats in the air.
Speaker 3: He has got it all up there at the moment,
Speaker 3: Christian has got a question for you mate. Thank you
Speaker 3: for asking this.
Speaker 1: Dunton, thank you for your strength.
Speaker 7: How did the Voice referendum change political campaign in Australia
Speaker 7: and what did the coalition team learn from how.
Speaker 15: Well?
Speaker 4: Christian?
Speaker 7: I think had the Voice been successful, we would have
Speaker 7: been in a hell of a mess as a country
Speaker 7: right now because the legislation would be before the Parliament
Speaker 7: all of a sudden. That would have dawned on the
Speaker 7: Prime Minister with the legal advice that actually this does
Speaker 7: have application to education policy and we do need to
Speaker 7: check with the Voice on what's happening with this road
Speaker 7: infrastructure or this development or whatever it might be. And
Speaker 7: so the debate would have been I think it would
Speaker 7: have given rise to a really angry reaction from the public,
Speaker 7: and rightly so, because people would have felt deceived. And
Speaker 7: to this day the Prime Minister hasn't been honest with
Speaker 7: the Australian people about the Voice, about the true extent
Speaker 7: of its application. He's put money in the budget for
Speaker 7: the Macarateate Commission that says to the Indigenous community, behind
Speaker 7: closed doors, it'll all be good. Macaratatei Commission will be
Speaker 7: there after the election. And then when we're getting into
Speaker 7: question time he says, I've never heard of macaratic.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: So what is it?
Speaker 4: What is it taught us?
Speaker 7: I think it has taught us to listen to the
Speaker 7: silent majority and to understand what is in our country's
Speaker 7: best interest and recognize that even if people are urging
Speaker 7: you to sit on the sidelines and not take a position,
Speaker 7: that ultimately you are right and justified and take a
Speaker 7: position that you think is in our country's best interest.
Speaker 7: When we took a position on the Voice, I forget
Speaker 7: the exact numbers now, but it was something like sixty
Speaker 7: forty in favor, and by the end of it was
Speaker 7: sixty forty against.
Speaker 4: And if you've got to coherent argument and you.
Speaker 7: Can communicate that, and you know, people were wavering in
Speaker 7: some parts of the country and we were able to
Speaker 7: win them across with some of the arguments. And I
Speaker 7: think your conviction is important and I think that's what demons,
Speaker 7: that's what was demonstrated through the Voice.
Speaker 3: Good on your Christian Thank you made appreciate it plenty
Speaker 3: more here with Peter.
Speaker 2: Dunn't live on for all Moray live in Brisbane.
Speaker 1: We're coming back doing a publicist tonight. Good to see
Speaker 1: your mate, however you're well for in a second. We
Speaker 1: are here at Aintel.
Speaker 3: Hotel, which is in Brisbane and it is a spectacular
Speaker 3: place to be. I don't want to thank everyone involved
Speaker 3: behind the scenes here and also everyone who's here to
Speaker 3: ask questions of Peter Dunton. Thanks for giving you some
Speaker 3: time tonight, mate. I know there's plenty of time with
Speaker 3: the family that you miss out on. So thank you
Speaker 3: for giving us a little bit of it here. The
Speaker 3: whole point of this again, ask some questions about the news.
Speaker 3: Ask some questions trying to better understand the block you
Speaker 3: see on the news all the time. I'll have a
Speaker 3: couple of questions as well. But we've got to Lachlan
Speaker 3: who wants to ask you a question. And yes, Lachlan
Speaker 3: is beneath voting age, but is a man who's got
Speaker 3: a question.
Speaker 1: On the behalf of people like you.
Speaker 15: Go for it mate, right, Harvest Duddon. My question is
Speaker 15: that if promised, you've intro so you have promised to
Speaker 15: introduce a band on social media for children under sixteen
Speaker 15: if you're elected. So how do we ensure that these
Speaker 15: children can't access social media platforms?
Speaker 7: Well, Laklan, a couple of ways. I mean, you can
Speaker 7: do it through the hardware, so you can work with
Speaker 7: the companies and you can take that option. You can
Speaker 7: also look at software. You can provide operating system verification.
Speaker 7: So there are technologies now obviously as we know with
Speaker 7: the iPhone where there's a facial ID and there's the
Speaker 7: ability for technology to be able to be adopted. Now,
Speaker 7: will some people be able to get around it, yes,
Speaker 7: but I just don't think you should let the perfect
Speaker 7: be the enemy of the good. And when I see
Speaker 7: the impact now on young people and you see the
Speaker 7: pervasive nature of social media, the companies frankly don't have
Speaker 7: any regard for the social wellbeing of Australian twelve and
Speaker 7: fourteen year old kids and the adult content that they're
Speaker 7: receiving on line and being indoctrinated with, and the graphic
Speaker 7: nature of some of what is being shared, the grooming
Speaker 7: that takes place through social media. I just don't think
Speaker 7: we can ignore it and pretend that everything's okay in
Speaker 7: their world because it's not. And I think we have
Speaker 7: a responsibility to provide a safe environment. There's no way
Speaker 7: in the world you would allow your kids to go
Speaker 7: down to the local park without supervision at eight or
Speaker 7: twelve years of age, or to pick up pornography books
Speaker 7: off the table or something like that. And why do
Speaker 7: we allow them to engage in that environment online?
Speaker 1: Lockie, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 3: Firstly that you may have their nicknames also, Lachlan, sorry,
Speaker 3: what do your mates say when they hear stuff in
Speaker 3: the news about teenagers and social media and Canberra making
Speaker 3: a decision.
Speaker 1: Are they annoyed? Did the concept?
Speaker 3: Do they get that there's a problem, do they want
Speaker 3: someone to step in?
Speaker 1: What are they about?
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, some of my friends that are more political,
Speaker 15: they understand that it's a big problem. But the majority
Speaker 15: of them are just addicted to kind of social media.
Speaker 15: They can't go five minutes in class without getting offered,
Speaker 15: and it's just affecting their school work. And they are
Speaker 15: a bit annoyed at this decision. But I personally think
Speaker 15: it's for the best.
Speaker 1: So super dumb question from me.
Speaker 3: I think literally sitting in class, books up and checking things.
Speaker 15: Some of them not even books up, they just hide
Speaker 15: in the back phone in front of the laptop, and
Speaker 15: some of them just plan out in front of the
Speaker 15: teachers have just given up.
Speaker 4: Sometimes.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's incredible, Thank you mate, appreciate it, and this
Speaker 3: question as well. Right, two problems, Right, the kids aren't
Speaker 3: all right at the moment, and we know that for
Speaker 3: a whole collection of reasons which are fixable, not fixable,
Speaker 3: more money, all the rest of it. Right, But then
Speaker 3: there's the other question, which is the education system right now?
Speaker 3: Obviously it would be your intent, like everyone in the room,
Speaker 3: everyone watching and even people who wouldn't think like us
Speaker 3: that we want the bet possible system.
Speaker 1: We've sent so much money at this and it keeps
Speaker 1: going down.
Speaker 3: What efforts will you put in between now and the
Speaker 3: election to try and to come up with a way
Speaker 3: of turning this around because we spend more money for
Speaker 3: worse results.
Speaker 7: I think there's an opportunity here in Queensland to be honest,
Speaker 7: and I think it'll be a good case study and
Speaker 7: a contrast to what's happening perhaps in Victoria under the
Speaker 7: Allen government there, to see what an incoming education minister
Speaker 7: can do, to review the curriculum, to look at what's
Speaker 7: being taught to kids, the indoctrination that takes place, and
Speaker 7: the politicization of the classroom by some teachers as well.
Speaker 7: And I think parents will always have the primary responsibility,
Speaker 7: but nonetheless, when we send our kids to school, we
Speaker 7: expect them to receive an education, not an indoctrination.
Speaker 4: And good point there is.
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot that can be done very
Speaker 7: quickly here in queens particularly because there's no Upper House
Speaker 7: and they can pass legislation.
Speaker 4: As as is required for the betterment of queens and kids.
Speaker 1: Good stuff all right, Nicole is here.
Speaker 3: It's not about my questions, it's about people like hers,
Speaker 3: That's all right.
Speaker 5: The Australian public are sick of being lied to by
Speaker 5: politicians trying to get into office.
Speaker 1: My question is when, not if you become prime minister,
Speaker 1: how getting getting me? How will you keep.
Speaker 2: Your ministers and yourself accountable to the promises.
Speaker 4: That you make?
Speaker 1: Great questions?
Speaker 4: What's really good.
Speaker 1: It is?
Speaker 7: It is a great question, and you can understand why
Speaker 7: people feel dispirited and angry because they put their faith
Speaker 7: in somebody who has broken a promise, and in some
Speaker 7: cases deliberately. So again, I think you need to be
Speaker 7: honest with people and you need to make commitments based
Speaker 7: on fact and at the moment.
Speaker 4: One of the things that Tony.
Speaker 7: It taught us very well was to, particularly in opposition,
Speaker 7: use the time sensibly and productively to work out policy
Speaker 7: so that when you get into government you've got an
Speaker 7: agenda that you can deliver on. And I think part
Speaker 7: of the problem for Anthony Orbinezi is that he was
Speaker 7: elected because he wasn't Scott Morrison. I think a lot
Speaker 7: of people, rightly or wrongly, you can have your view
Speaker 7: on that, but that's what happened, and it means that
Speaker 7: the government has no purpose or narrative and they make
Speaker 7: half promises can't deliver on them. They made up commitments
Speaker 7: in opposition that weren't properly researched or thought through, and
Speaker 7: that's why they're having difficulty in rolling out their agenda.
Speaker 7: So I think if you've got good intent, you've got
Speaker 7: a good basis on which you're promising. If the circumstances
Speaker 7: change and there's some sort of global incident, an avian
Speaker 7: bird flu or a shock to the economy and you
Speaker 7: can't deliver on a particular program, I think people get
Speaker 7: that if it's properly explained.
Speaker 4: But ministers will be held to account and they.
Speaker 7: Won't be making and promises unless they genuinely believe that
Speaker 7: they can carry through on the commitment. And breaking that
Speaker 7: trust with the Australian public can be catastrophic in the
Speaker 7: relationship that you have with them. And if you don't
Speaker 7: take that seriously, well you voted out in three years time.
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Thank you, Nicola.
Speaker 3: Let's get to a speed around now, Donna, then Johannes,
Speaker 3: and then well we'll keep going. All right, let's go Donna,
Speaker 3: wats your question for Peter Dubn't.
Speaker 14: Peter Dutton thank you so much for being here. Yes,
Speaker 14: definitely you four PM and Paul.
Speaker 1: And I love you. Fingernauts, I love you, I love you.
Speaker 4: Tell my boss he doesn't like them anyway.
Speaker 14: Okay, So how did abortion become part of the Queen's
Speaker 14: and election campaign even though it was never a point
Speaker 14: of discussion for the LMP. I know a few people
Speaker 14: who have now changed their minds purely based on labor misinformation.
Speaker 7: Well, I think what people have seen over the last
Speaker 7: couple of weeks on this debate is the labor campaign
Speaker 7: machine in full burst. And what do you do when
Speaker 7: you don't want people talking about your record? What do
Speaker 7: you do if you seven miles you can't talk about
Speaker 7: achievements and outcomes and the betterment of Queensland over the
Speaker 7: course of his term as premier and his deputy premier.
Speaker 7: Well you say, look over here and here's a distraction,
Speaker 7: And that's exactly what they've done. It was as we
Speaker 7: saw with the Many Scared debate that Bill Shorten ran.
Speaker 7: It wasn't based on any factor at all, but particularly
Speaker 7: older people in that example, were tricked into believing that
Speaker 7: Many Care was going to be abolished.
Speaker 4: Or sold to some nonsense.
Speaker 7: And people are vulnerable because they hear a leader telling
Speaker 7: them something and they believe it and they act on it.
Speaker 7: And there will be people at Label will win over
Speaker 7: through this lie and the dev's campaign and the spurious
Speaker 7: campaign that they've run.
Speaker 4: But I think most people see through it.
Speaker 7: Most people understand that Stephen Miles has done nothing more
Speaker 7: than tried to create a giant distraction away from his
Speaker 7: own failings.
Speaker 3: Take my editorial from tonight, post it and send it
Speaker 3: as far and wide. Thank you, don I love those
Speaker 3: finger nails, Johannah, so you've got the last question of
Speaker 3: the night made.
Speaker 1: Before we let Peter up and go great, shapeful, even better?
Speaker 1: Or miss Donne, thank you if you love your shirt?
Speaker 1: Can't queen friend? Where do you think Australia will be
Speaker 1: if I big get another two? So much love, so
Speaker 1: much love in the room.
Speaker 7: Look, I think a lot of people are hanging on
Speaker 7: by their fingernails at the moment. I think there are
Speaker 7: a lot of families who really are you know, They've
Speaker 7: got an extra job they're doing over time and they
Speaker 7: can barely scratch together enough money to pay for their
Speaker 7: insurance premium or pay for another increase on their electricity bills.
Speaker 7: And I think people are desperately hoping for interest rates
Speaker 7: to come down. We see the IMF out today saying
Speaker 7: that Australia is behind the pack. All of our comparable
Speaker 7: nations have much lower inflation than we do, and so
Speaker 7: interest rates are going to stay for longer here. They've
Speaker 7: already started to come down in the US, UK, Canada
Speaker 7: and New Zealand, and they should have already started to
Speaker 7: come down here.
Speaker 4: So what would three more years.
Speaker 7: Look like it to be compounding of that grief and
Speaker 7: for a lot of families and a lot of small
Speaker 7: businesses who are barely keeping the doors open at the moment,
Speaker 7: it's going to be what we saw under Goff Whitlam
Speaker 7: and what we saw under Paul Keating.
Speaker 4: It is a very difficult.
Speaker 7: Time and I don't think we should understate it, and
Speaker 7: I think we would very quickly see a change of
Speaker 7: Prime minister.
Speaker 4: I think Jim Chalmers is biting it the bit at
Speaker 4: the moment.
Speaker 7: Tanya Plebus xc's herself as the next alternative. Tony Burke's
Speaker 7: out there and so bad? How bad do you want
Speaker 7: me to paint it? To take any of those scenarios.
Speaker 1: But in better.
Speaker 7: News, the Commiskey's pub here at Eaton Seal will still
Speaker 7: be open.
Speaker 1: They serve a great stake. And where are they?
Speaker 4: Where are some good news?
Speaker 1: Love you guys, great part at the back. So it
Speaker 1: is a great good man. Thank you very much, Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you Peter Dutton, thanks to his arm. Keep up
Speaker 1: the good time. Good on you mate.
Speaker 2: More here from the Dingel Hotel, shout out to its owner.
Speaker 1: Morenitcheck you the two boats from Queensland. You know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen at the election text.
Speaker 2: Thanks welcome back here to Eating Seal in the Edenhell Hotel.
Speaker 1: To be here, come him and know me and see
Speaker 1: him on the telly all the time. I well see
Speaker 1: him with my own eyes.
Speaker 4: And the wonderful Chris.
Speaker 3: Jones, because the editor of the Courier mail lads, let's
Speaker 3: talk about Queens and queens An election.
Speaker 1: Let's get hardcore. Let's count the number of grains of
Speaker 1: sand all the rest of it. Here.
Speaker 3: Cam and I have banged on a lot about the
Speaker 3: abortion lie, and in part because it's working. Right, do
Speaker 3: you think that it's working enough to deny majority government
Speaker 3: for the LNP or we're talking about the size of it.
Speaker 1: I'd say two things.
Speaker 6: I think it works in terms of labor locking up
Speaker 6: and locking away the Greens.
Speaker 1: So the abortion she's worked in.
Speaker 6: A Brisbane, I don't think it's worked where cost of
Speaker 6: living cuts cost of living. That's been the burbs, the
Speaker 6: outer suburbs, the regional cities. People got lots of other
Speaker 6: issues that abortion deal with. But as I've spoken Chris's
Speaker 6: paper to day, I don't think there's any place in
Speaker 6: queens and politics. I think there's US vile politics and.
Speaker 4: We should have ever had abortion brought in.
Speaker 1: There's Queens election.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent and that again right, we
Speaker 3: know why they're doing it right, and it's effective to
Speaker 3: a certain point. But literally again, a maid of mine
Speaker 3: who's all in sending me texts every single day about
Speaker 3: Queensland politics. His partner just went, oh that must be true.
Speaker 3: If it's on a sign, you couldn't possibly print a lie.
Speaker 3: So again the same question about whether you think that
Speaker 3: denies the majority or it's the size.
Speaker 1: Of Well, firstly, welcome back to Queensland. I've to be here.
Speaker 1: Find out a way to get me those blood friends.
Speaker 1: We can't wait for it.
Speaker 4: Actually move here.
Speaker 1: You don't wait to a time. But broad Ridges all fine, baby.
Speaker 1: I think one of them.
Speaker 9: I think one of the big moments in the campaign
Speaker 9: was the day that our reporters grilled both leaders on
Speaker 9: will you legislate if you win to bring in truth
Speaker 9: in political advertising?
Speaker 1: Good point. Let me guess what they said.
Speaker 9: Well, David chris a fully was open to it, and
Speaker 9: Stephen Miles said, well, I'm not aware of anywhere in
Speaker 9: the world where it works, to which the reporter said,
Speaker 9: it's been the case for several decades in South Australia. Yeah,
Speaker 9: and it works very well. Correct, correct, And he said
Speaker 9: get him next.
Speaker 1: Ye. And that's the whole point.
Speaker 9: Right, And you can see this is that this is
Speaker 9: what State Labour's done. You know they the last campaign,
Speaker 9: remember there was still the I forgot my number, but
Speaker 9: ten they're going to sack tens of thousands of public servants,
Speaker 9: still doing the camel Newman scare capital again it was
Speaker 9: totally made up, but there were billboards of stating as fact.
Speaker 4: This is the next example of that.
Speaker 9: And you know this is, as you said in the editorial,
Speaker 9: this is the way that State Labor goes about it.
Speaker 9: And camera makes a really good point. This is beyond
Speaker 9: the pale the abortion one. Look, fight the issues around
Speaker 9: cuts or many scare or whatever, but bringing abortions into
Speaker 9: this campaign has been pretty disgusting.
Speaker 3: Okay, so again, let's let's talk about the OLYMPA needs
Speaker 3: twelve seats to claim a majority. Cameron, do you think
Speaker 3: they can climb that hill? As I was explaining on
Speaker 3: the show last night, ten seats sort of outside of
Speaker 3: the Sunny Coast in and up are up for grabs.
Speaker 3: Then the Sunny Coast has been traditionally LMP. There's two
Speaker 3: seats there, the closer to Bruceban, the heart of the
Speaker 3: task becomes. But in that first ten seats are like
Speaker 3: eight percent seats. So give us an idea of how
Speaker 3: tall that hell is?
Speaker 4: Well, Queensland swing's heart.
Speaker 6: Traditionally there's big swings in I Love you swing in Queenslane.
Speaker 2: You'll walk into the voting booth, you throw your keys
Speaker 2: in the ball and you see what happens.
Speaker 1: God love this city, God love this steak. You know,
Speaker 1: God love You've got the shag carp and let's go.
Speaker 3: For a swing.
Speaker 1: I love it anyway, Sorry, but late.
Speaker 6: Moment, no, no, but is to hold the regional cities
Speaker 6: as well as the Brisbane city. And I think this
Speaker 6: time around these they've lost the regional cities, towns or
Speaker 6: three seats are gone, Cans three to four seats are gone.
Speaker 6: Okai has at the premium there three times. We have
Speaker 6: lost that one hundred years. So I think what's happening
Speaker 6: is the regional city are going. Brisbane might hold because
Speaker 6: the green preferences will hold for labor, but outside Brisbane
Speaker 6: it's very bad for labor.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Again, I don't want to say the number, but the
Speaker 1: hill decline. What do you think?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Look, I think the big challenge for labor is
Speaker 9: that they are distracted by fighting the greens in the
Speaker 9: inner city, the inner suburbs. They're worried about the old
Speaker 9: Brisbane Central, the old Ashgrove, these really inner city seats
Speaker 9: green slopes, and they've forgotten that half of Queensland lives
Speaker 9: in the regions and that the majority of Queensland live
Speaker 9: outside of those inner suburbs where they think that it's
Speaker 9: being fort I think it's a long term challenge for
Speaker 9: state labor in terms of what will happen.
Speaker 4: Look, I think.
Speaker 9: Once you can what's where the premier has been through
Speaker 9: the campaign is always a good indicator of what they're
Speaker 9: worried about. He has been on loop in his campaign,
Speaker 9: jet to Townshill, obligatory, Rock Hampton, Mackay.
Speaker 4: And then you know your Harvey Bays and someone.
Speaker 9: But if you're going to Rock Campton and MacKaye, as
Speaker 9: Cameron just said, and you're a Labor Party leader in Queensland,
Speaker 9: you're in trouble because those seats are usually a lock
Speaker 9: and MacKaye has been a lock literally forever.
Speaker 3: So given what you said before, Cameron about how Queensland swings,
Speaker 3: all right, we know inevitably smart Alex who have to
Speaker 3: fill time on Saturday and others are going to turn
Speaker 3: around say well what does this mean for federal this
Speaker 3: and what does it.
Speaker 1: Mean before the election.
Speaker 3: Does the election mean anything about Queensland and Labor for
Speaker 3: a federal election next year?
Speaker 1: Let's get this in early.
Speaker 6: Well, queens A vote seventy thirty against the Voice, the
Speaker 6: strongest state against Albaneze's Voice, so they already start from
Speaker 6: that base. Labor holds five of the thirty federal seats,
Speaker 6: so we're hardly a Queensland labor state federally. And the
Speaker 6: idea that Albany is going to pick up a swagger
Speaker 6: seats top set. All the losses around the rest of
Speaker 6: Australia is fairy dust. It's not going to happen. He's
Speaker 6: not going to get like Art, He's not going to
Speaker 6: get in the Longman's of the world. So so federal
Speaker 6: Labor has a problem in Queensland because stemically where it's
Speaker 6: such a small number now compared to what we used
Speaker 6: to be under rut.
Speaker 3: I've only got a couple of seconds, So the bumper
Speaker 3: sticker version question.
Speaker 9: Look, they're not going to win any more seats in Queensland.
Speaker 9: I don't think they're talking about like Art and Brisbane
Speaker 9: and Longman. But you know, if you've only got five
Speaker 9: seats in the state, you're talking about two or three,
Speaker 9: you're probably in a bit of trouble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just thank you very much. Let's give him a
Speaker 1: rand applause. I do appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for the good people of the
