1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: From The Australian. Here's what's on the front. I'm Claire Harvey. 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: It's Friday, July twenty five, twenty twenty five. Australian women 3 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: who were strip searched at Doha Airport have won the 4 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: right to sue Quitar Airways, with the full Federal Court 5 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: overruling a judge who dismissed their case. A pregnant twelve 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: year old girl has been given permission by a Supreme 7 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: Court judge to have an abortion she conceived after consensual 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: sex with her thirteen year old boyfriend, but at Queensland 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: Hospital took the case to court, concerned she didn't have 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: capacity to consent to a termination. Those stories alive now 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: at the Australian dot com. Do a U a coincidence, 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: not a capitulation. That's the Albanese government's explanation for suddenly 13 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: dropping a twenty year ban on American beef. They say 14 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: it's nothing to do with the fact that Donald Trump 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: was demanding access for American farmers and now that Trump 16 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: administration is claiming victory today, will it help our cause? 17 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: When there's a florry of government staff visiting journalists in 18 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: the press gallery in Canberra something's going on. When that 19 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: florry is happening before dawn, you know it's big this time. 20 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: What the staffers and politicians were doing on level two 21 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: of the Senate Wing was announcing big news on beef imports. 22 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: After a twenty year ban, Australia was about to drop 23 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: bio security restrictions on American slaughtered beef being imported to 24 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Australia for sale because they said a rigorous biosecurity study 25 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: says actually it's safe. 26 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: On paper, this looks like it's pretty big capetulation to 27 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: one of Donald Trump's key demands when it comes to 28 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: Australian treat that's. 29 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: Richard Ferguson, our Camber Bureau Chief. 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: So it's clear that the Albanese government was very ready 31 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: to put out its lines and to make it seem 32 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: as much as possible that this has nothing to do 33 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. So we had the Agriculture Minister, Julie 34 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: Collins put out a very early morning statement. We even 35 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: had government staffers going through the offices as early as 36 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: possible to make sure the lines were correct, and then 37 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 2: we had the minister herself stand up and the Trade 38 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: Minister Don Farrell stand up in the press gallery to 39 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: say this was a long term, ten year process, this 40 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 2: was all about science. We're just announcing it now. Oh, 41 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: it happens to be Donald Trump's biggest gripe about Australia 42 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: when it comes to trade. All well, never mind that. 43 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: He is Trump Beck in April, they. 44 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 3: Won't take any of our beef. They don't want it 45 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: because they don't want it to affect their farmers. And 46 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 3: you know what, I don't blame them, but we're doing 47 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: the same thing right now starting about midnight tonight, I 48 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 3: would say. 49 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: I mean, look, the government is very very stringent from 50 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: the top down that this has nothing to do with 51 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: negotiations on trade. However, I think it's fair to say 52 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: that it's one of the great coincidences of Australian politics 53 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: in recent years that a study saying we should let 54 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: American import more beef happens to be released now. But 55 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: you know, I think the joke at the moment is 56 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: is there a secret, ten year, rigorous process on the 57 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: PBS or steel or aluminium that we're about to see drop. 58 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: Indeed, Trump's own Agriculture Secretary, Brooke L. Rowlands immediately put 59 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: out a triumphal statement We've used an AI voice to 60 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: read it for you. 61 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: Make agriculture great again. Trade wins. President Trump secures greater 62 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 4: agriculture market access to Australia for American beef. American farmers 63 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: in Rand produce the safest, healthiest beef in the world. 64 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 4: It's absurd that non scientific trade barriers prevented our beef 65 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: from being sold to consumers in Australia for the last 66 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 4: twenty years. Gone are the days of putting American farmers 67 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: on the sidelines. This is yet another example of the 68 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 4: kind of market access the President negotiates to bring America 69 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 4: into a new golden age of prosperity. 70 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: So why did we have a ban on American beef anyway? 71 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: Mad cow disease. In nineteen eighty six, a British farmer 72 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: noticed a couple of his cows were behaving strangely, dazed 73 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: and uncoordinated. An autopsy confirmed they'd been infected with bovine 74 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: spongeiform encephilopathy or BSE. It's an infectious protein that targets 75 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: the brain, making it look spongy under a microscope, hence 76 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: the name. 77 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 5: Some scientists believe that it breaks some of the laws 78 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 5: of nature as we know them, and thus maybe a 79 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 5: novel form of life. 80 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: Symptoms of BSE, also known as mad cow disease, can 81 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: appear several years after infection, but once they do, death 82 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: quickly follows. Those initial cases sparked a decade long disaster 83 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: with global ramifications. 84 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: An opinion poll yesterday found that a quarter of households 85 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: had dropped beef from the family menu. Over half a 86 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: million cows aged over thirty months have been cold since May. 87 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 4: It is a devastating indictment of British government, probably one 88 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 4: of the worst examples of British misgovernment since the war. 89 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: It spread through thousands of herds because livestock eight feed 90 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: made from the ground up remains of infected cattle. Humans 91 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: can also contract mad cow by ingesting infected meat. It 92 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: presents as kreutzfeld Yakub disease, a horrendous rapid onset of 93 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: dementia and then death, untreatable, unincurable. It has cost the 94 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: Health Service over a billion pounds. The practice of using 95 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: cattle parts to feed livestock is now banned. For more 96 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: than two decades, Australia banned the import of fresh and 97 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: frozen beef from the US unless the life cycle of 98 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: the beasts could be traced all the way from birth 99 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: to slaughter house. But America has a huge and complex 100 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: supply chain, with animals coming in from Mexico and Canada 101 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: before being killed in the US and exported. The Americans 102 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: said Australia's demands for traceability were unreasonable. Australia's held the 103 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: line through several changes of government, but now Minister Julie 104 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: Collins says the US has strengthened control measures and tracing systems. 105 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: No what as I think difficult to process and all 106 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: of that's with the government seeing that this as all 107 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 2: completely coincidental, has nothing to do with tariffs. In June, 108 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: when this was put to the Prime Minister that these 109 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: kind of changes would happen, he said, no, we will 110 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: do nothing to compromise on biosecurity. 111 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 5: We have made it very clear to the United States 112 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 5: that we will not compromise on bio security. We will 113 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 5: not waken the measures that protect their farmers and producers 114 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 5: from the races of disas or contamination. 115 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: The government's line is we have done nothing to compromise 116 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: on biosecurity. We've just removed the biosecurity barriers and made 117 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: all these changes best on a ten year study. So 118 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: it gets to the heart of the trickery of language 119 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: that is being used here and is constantly being used 120 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: by the government when it comes to Donald Trump. They 121 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: do not like to talk about Donald Trump. They try 122 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: everything they can to avoid talking about Donald Trump unless 123 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: they can find a way to attack the Liberal Party 124 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: by connecting them to Donald Trump. 125 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: You know, the Prime. 126 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: Minister, for example, has know a kind of stated response 127 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: whenever he's asked anything about Donald Trump, which is, I'm 128 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: not going to comment on everything the US President says. 129 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: If you would have believed that any prime minister would 130 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: have said that about Barack Obama, George Bush, Ronald Reagan, 131 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: LBJJFK all the way to Eisenhower and Roosevelt. You know, 132 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: I'm not going to comment on what the US President says. 133 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: I mean, it just shows the kind of world we're 134 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: living and both in terms of Albanesia and Trump, in 135 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: a way. 136 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: Australia desperately needs a deal on trade. Ever since Donald 137 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: Trump ripped up our free trade agreement and imposed a 138 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: blanket ten percent tariff which could soon rise to twenty 139 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: percent on everything we send to the US, plus a 140 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,599 Speaker 1: fifty percent tariff on Australian steel and aluminium. America's pharmaceutical 141 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: industry wants to sell more drugs here, which would probably 142 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: mean higher prices for Australian patients on our pharmaceutic called 143 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: Benefit Scheme or PBS. The White House is threatening a 144 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: two hundred percent tariff on drugs manufactured in places like 145 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: Australia unless we relax the PBS rules. And Anthony Alberanezi 146 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: says he wants a meeting with Donald Trump, but Trump 147 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 1: keeps putting it off. Let's assume what seems will be 148 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: as Richard, which is that the Australian government has capitulated 149 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: to what the Americans want on beef as part of 150 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: a bigger improvement in their relationship or ensuring Australia gets 151 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: a good deal. Why not just be honest about that. 152 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: The obvious answer would be Claire, is that there has 153 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: been a ten year study and the coincidence is true. 154 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: Let's not discount this because we are cynical at heart. 155 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: But it's also possible that the government once again does 156 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: not want to look as if it's in a position 157 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: of weakness. You know, the government has really been putting 158 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: out the message over the past couple of weeks that 159 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: no compromise is going to get us as good as 160 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: a trading relationship as we had nearly twenty years ago 161 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: between John Howard and Dori Stubby Bush. That is there belief. 162 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: That's why they don't want to compromise on the PBS. 163 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 2: The Albanezi government is following the presidents of the Morrison 164 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: government during Trump's first term, in which it actually took 165 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 2: them months to score a deal, but they got a 166 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: much better deal than anybody else. 167 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 4: You know. 168 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: For example, Japan has one of the absolutely hop targets 169 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: of Trump when it comes to tariffs. I mean, you know, huge, 170 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: huge tariffs. They have now done a deal. It's not 171 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: a great deal, and the Prime Minister of Japan, who's 172 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: already lost a majority in the lower House and just 173 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: lost a majority in the Upper House, looks like he'll 174 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: resign because he's saying, oh, well, I got a trade 175 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: deal with Trump. I don't want to deal with this anymore. 176 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: So it is part of the Albaneza government doesn't want 177 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: to look weak when it comes to Trump. It doesn't 178 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: want to look weak, which you know is pretty smart 179 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: strategy in general, because we all know that Trump does 180 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: not respond well to weakness. He likes people who are 181 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 2: tough guys just like him. 182 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: Coming up, I can't Anthony Albanesi and Kevin Rudd get 183 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: FaceTime at the White House. Which how focused do you 184 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: think the government is on actually getting a sit down 185 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: with the United States, an exemption on some tariffs and 186 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: some guarantees about UCUS. 187 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: Well, the line from Anthony Alberanizi is that he's doing 188 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: everything he can. Kevin Rudd is the US ambassador in Washington, 189 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: is doing everything he can. The Foreign Minister, Penny Wong's 190 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 2: doing everything she can do'n Farrell, the Trade Minister's doing 191 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: everything he can. But when you look at the facts, 192 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: we know that Kevin Rudd struggles to get much time 193 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 2: with the West wing of the White House. We know 194 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: that Anthony Albanesi is definitely not on top of Trump's 195 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: list for leaders that he needs to call. Considering he's 196 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: met with, you know, the Prime Minister of Ireland and 197 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: all our nations at the White House, and he's talked 198 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 2: to our G twenty partners, you know, from Starmer to 199 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: Maloney to Macron dozens of dozens of times. And considering 200 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: also the Prime Minister gets very agitated whenever he's asked, 201 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: when are you going to meet with Donald Trump. You've 202 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: got to remember at a recent international summit that JD 203 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: Vance was at, the Vice President Albinizi was asked, will 204 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 2: you meet with J. 205 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: D Vance? 206 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: And he said, no, I meet leader to leader. And 207 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: then he goes to China and he meets with the 208 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: Shanghai Party boss, he meets with the Premier, he meets 209 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: with the chairman of the Chinese National People's Congress. So 210 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 2: he's clearly meeting other people who aren't just the leader. 211 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 2: So he has said he wants a good relationship with 212 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Donald Trump has always been very positive about 213 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: Anthony Albanezi whenever he's been askedying he's a good guy. 214 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: So there's clearly some warmth in the phone conversations that 215 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: I've had there. But it must be noted that many 216 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: leaders have gone into the Oval Office and the president 217 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: has been Donald Trump and done the Donald Trump performance. 218 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: I mean, look at the Philippine President Marcos in the 219 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: Oval Office with Donald Trump and Donald Trump starts saying 220 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 2: that Obama is a villainous thug who's a trader. 221 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: Baracus said Obama is the ringleader Hillary Clinton was right 222 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: there with him, and so was Sleepy Joe Buden and 223 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: so with the rest of them, call me Clapper. The 224 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: whole group never has a thing like this happened in 225 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: the history of our country. 226 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: That will not be a comfortable position for Anthony Albineasi 227 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: to be and it is not one that he would enjoy. 228 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: You know, one can speculate that he is not rushing 229 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 2: to experience that. Look, all the suggestions out of the 230 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: White House at the moment is still that of all 231 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: the countries that they like, we are at the top 232 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: of the list. And there's no doubt that Australia meeting 233 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: America where it wants to be on beef is going 234 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: to help Anthony Albinezi in the future. 235 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: That was The Australian's Richard Ferguson.
