Speaker 1: This is Paul Murray lives. Get a from Brisbane, a
Speaker 1: new beauty Queensland. They booted labor and they did so
Speaker 1: forget the spin. They did so hard last night. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about that Queensland election. We'll have guests here in Brisbane,
Speaker 1: including the incoming Deputy Premier, jarreb Blay. In a moment
Speaker 1: or two time. What doesn't feel like to have finally
Speaker 1: climbed the mountain, slayed the dragon, all of that business. Well,
Speaker 1: last night I was in the room when David Crucif
Speaker 1: Foley took to the stage about eleven o'clock Brisbane Times.
Speaker 1: I was pretty damn late compared to what the expectation was.
Speaker 1: But I'll give you the tip. The reason why this
Speaker 1: took so long is because the counting took so long,
Speaker 1: not because the result was in doubt. I'll have something
Speaker 1: to say about that a little bit later. But a
Speaker 1: new broom and a fresh start David Crucier Fuley. How
Speaker 1: refreshing is this from a Queensland premier, not the type
Speaker 1: we've had for the past ten years. Of course, he
Speaker 1: talked about the choice of hope over fear, and that
Speaker 1: largely was the election. I'll get into great detail about
Speaker 1: what the media thought this election was about. What the
Speaker 1: media thought was happening in the final days of this election.
Speaker 1: But the Queensland voters, when they voted and how they voted,
Speaker 1: has told us what this election clearly was about. Now
Speaker 1: they're essentially was two tracks here. People have voted on
Speaker 1: the day, people who voted early. The people who voted early, well,
Speaker 1: they of course turned around and delivered an absolute thumper year.
Speaker 1: Now the reason why when we were in that room
Speaker 1: last night on the LNP and sort of the first hour, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe they're just getting started the second hour, what's really
Speaker 1: going on the third hour? Okay, surely it's known by now. Well,
Speaker 1: that's because the extreme majority of the vote happened before
Speaker 1: election day and the way that I understand the queens
Speaker 1: and Electoral Commission did its counting was that it counted
Speaker 1: out the election day because all of that was in
Speaker 1: one box. And after they had done that, that's when
Speaker 1: they turned to the way bigger box, which had been
Speaker 1: the early vote. Now the queens and Electal Commission has
Speaker 1: to change. They either need more people or they need
Speaker 1: new leadership, because this is not the first time there's
Speaker 1: been a problem. And when I say problem, I mean
Speaker 1: delay or lack of information. There were some seats that
Speaker 1: weren't getting updated for a couple of hours, and that
Speaker 1: meant that that couple of hour window was an opportunity
Speaker 1: for the Labor Party and its spinners to pretend that
Speaker 1: somehow magically they had held on to government despite losing
Speaker 1: up to maybe fifteen seats.
Speaker 2: It was neck and neck, and Labor did put up
Speaker 2: a fight and credit where credits due. There are certainly
Speaker 2: a lot of Labor commentators today that say that Stephen
Speaker 2: Miles as the Premier, did a fantastic job to try
Speaker 2: and resurrect Labour's campaign, or.
Speaker 3: Labor to record the number of seats that we did
Speaker 3: was a pretty amazing result.
Speaker 1: This is rubbish, okay. The only expectation that the polls
Speaker 1: gave us a couple of weeks out from the election
Speaker 1: was fifty five to forty five. Currently the number well
Speaker 1: forty nine and a bit for the Labor Party, fifty
Speaker 1: four and a bit for the Liberal Party. Okay, So
Speaker 1: what one point off that's still absolutely decisive, That is
Speaker 1: not close, that is not a better campaign, that is
Speaker 1: not oh ifs and buts, and if the campaign went
Speaker 1: one week longer we would have won. How look at
Speaker 1: the primary vote, Labour went down six point eight percent,
Speaker 1: the LNP went up by six points, which meant people
Speaker 1: went from the Team red side of the road and
Speaker 1: they walked straight across to the LMP. The minor party vote,
Speaker 1: which i'll explain in greater detail a little bit later,
Speaker 1: well it didn't appear. I also think people are getting
Speaker 1: a bit too excited about pretending that the Greens are
Speaker 1: dead all across queens and that's not true. But how
Speaker 1: can I not talk about Giggles Miles the former Premiere
Speaker 1: of Queensland. Don't that feel good to say the former
Speaker 1: Premiere of Queensland. Now, he didn't come out and give
Speaker 1: a speech when it had become clear that not only
Speaker 1: had he lost government, but the LNP was going to
Speaker 1: get a majority instead. He was making the most of
Speaker 1: this awkward moment in the counting. Remember the results aren't changed.
Speaker 1: The counting of them was the moment for him to
Speaker 1: be able to walk out there and pretend that somehow
Speaker 1: he had had a triumph. I have never seen a
Speaker 1: person who has been swept from government. Remember they lost
Speaker 1: thirteen seats, They could end up losing fifteen don swept.
Speaker 1: Domestos has been applied, stain has been removed yet because
Speaker 1: the Labor Party lives in this sort of fake world
Speaker 1: where when they lose they were cheated out of it.
Speaker 1: When they win. It's a revolution for the ages that
Speaker 1: this bloke, who is a hyperpartisan, used the moment when
Speaker 1: post election you've got to let the air out of
Speaker 1: the balloon. It's how we don't end up as widely
Speaker 1: rilled up as places like the United States, when elections
Speaker 1: are very close and there's a couple of seats in
Speaker 1: it and there'll be a negotiation for who's going to
Speaker 1: make the government. Well, I understand why people give speeches
Speaker 1: to say they're still in with a shot. But the
Speaker 1: bloke was rejected. He was rejected as not the preferred premier.
Speaker 1: He was rejected as not the man with the answers
Speaker 1: for Queensland. He was rejected for the laughing about youth crime.
Speaker 1: He was rejected for trying to buy off an electorate
Speaker 1: that even if they liked some of the buyoffs, they
Speaker 1: took the money and said now you go and run away.
Speaker 1: Unlike the KFC, he had what shut up and take
Speaker 1: my money. It was I'll take your money. Now you
Speaker 1: shut up. But Stephen Miles, hyperpartisan to the end, was
Speaker 1: talking not to the people of Queensland but to the
Speaker 1: people in the room. This was an opportunity when hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of people were watching across all the different
Speaker 1: television networks. They were going to read all the coverage
Speaker 1: in the Korea mal the next day, and this was
Speaker 1: a moment where theoretically he would be able to begin
Speaker 1: the rebuild. But I think he did himself about as
Speaker 1: much damage as Paul Keating did after the nine to
Speaker 1: ninety three election, when instantly Australians went I am not
Speaker 1: interested in you, and they waited for three years and
Speaker 1: they got rid of him. In this case, he's going
Speaker 1: to have to work very hard to come back from
Speaker 1: this as a way of presenting himself when he lost
Speaker 1: last night.
Speaker 4: Watching the results tonight, it is clear that that hasn't
Speaker 4: been enough to secure a majority of seats for Labor,
Speaker 4: and also that the LP is unlikely to have a majority.
Speaker 4: Queenslanders know what I believe and what I stand for.
Speaker 4: While David Chris of Foley ducked and weaved and tied
Speaker 4: himself into the tiniest small target, Queensland has ever seen.
Speaker 4: Never before has a party taken to an election with
Speaker 4: so little detail of their agenda. This election finishes with
Speaker 4: many more questions about the LMP's plans than answers.
Speaker 1: Rubbish. Right, he was arrogant, he was rude, he was impolite,
Speaker 1: all of it. Of those things right, But basically it
Speaker 1: was confirmed in the speech what you and I have
Speaker 1: known all the way through the election and all the
Speaker 1: way through his premiership that while many of his media
Speaker 1: mates here in Queensland and around the country desperately hoping
Speaker 1: that he would be able to find a way to
Speaker 1: bribe or bs the people of Queensland, we saw the
Speaker 1: real Stephen Miles. We saw through the campaign garbage, we
Speaker 1: saw through the giggles, we saw through the biofs, and
Speaker 1: the reality was that the nasty bloke who when the
Speaker 1: mass came off, showed himself to be that nasty bloke
Speaker 1: on election night is the bloke who we all know
Speaker 1: would behave like that behind the scenes. Brutally. It'll be
Speaker 1: a long road back for the Labor Party, but in
Speaker 1: a state where they have been in government for much
Speaker 1: of the past thirty years with one term exception, they've
Speaker 1: got plenty of mates in the public service that will
Speaker 1: leak to them. They've got plenty of mates in the
Speaker 1: unions that went silent about hospitals and crime that are
Speaker 1: now going to scandalize every single case to make it
Speaker 1: look like the new government is more chaotic than the
Speaker 1: one that has been moved. But I want to show
Speaker 1: you two examples. But the type of Labor Party that
Speaker 1: even people who don't vote for the Labor Party but
Speaker 1: remember a better Labor Party, don't associate with the current
Speaker 1: Labor Party. Murray, what is again a hyperpartisan? Who was
Speaker 1: on television today? And if you can't say we lost
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, then people know you're
Speaker 1: not telling the truth. You can say you're disappointed, you
Speaker 1: can say that people got it wrong, if that's your belief.
Speaker 1: But this was the reaction of Senator Murray Watt today
Speaker 1: justifying the behavior of Miles last night.
Speaker 3: I actually thought Steven's speech was terrific. I thought he
Speaker 3: talked about the great effort from Labor and its volunteers,
Speaker 3: acknowledged what Queenslanders had had to say through their voting patterns.
Speaker 3: I think to be fair to Stephen at the time
Speaker 3: that he gave that speech last night, the result was
Speaker 3: pretty unclear. The LMP hadn't reached a majority at that point.
Speaker 1: In times, no no no no no no no, no
Speaker 1: no no, there's no do overs. There's no do overs.
Speaker 1: If the result was unclear, then you wait until the
Speaker 1: result is clear. Instead, he waited long enough for the
Speaker 1: narrative to go out, long enough so on some bizarre
Speaker 1: passive aggressive level, he could deny. Yes, the hyperpartisans, but
Speaker 1: the people who wanted the result to be a change
Speaker 1: of government, to make it seen like there hadn't been
Speaker 1: a tectonic shift in state politics that will not last forever,
Speaker 1: only of course registered in four year increments, but something
Speaker 1: big changed in Queensland. Now, compare Stephen, Miles and Murray.
Speaker 1: What with our mate rich O? He wouldn't defend this
Speaker 1: crap last night, and that's old school labor, the people
Speaker 1: who say that people always get it right even when
Speaker 1: you lose, graceless as it was pathetic.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to defend that. That was a lot
Speaker 5: of crap and I'm very disappointed that was a forfeited before.
Speaker 1: Good on him. If you watched our coverage last night,
Speaker 1: you heard me say particularly warm things to Richo after
Speaker 1: he said that. I repeat them again here. That is
Speaker 1: how Australians play their politics. You can be frustrated, you
Speaker 1: can be heartbroken, but the sun comes up the next day.
Speaker 1: And while certain decisions and certain personalities may not please
Speaker 1: you at the end of the day, at the end
Speaker 1: of the game, at the end of the fight, there
Speaker 1: has to be a genuine spirit of recognizing what happened,
Speaker 1: that you're won, and that you're lost. You should be
Speaker 1: a good winner and not rub people's faces in it.
Speaker 1: And you should be a good loser and recognize that
Speaker 1: you have lost, that you got it wrong. Thank goodness,
Speaker 1: we have Richo on nights like last night. All right, So,
Speaker 1: as always after elections, I tell you the five things
Speaker 1: that I want you to think about or that I
Speaker 1: think we've learnt out of the Queensland election. Let's go
Speaker 1: through them here. Number One, people made their mind up
Speaker 1: very early. The election campaign did not change people's opinion.
Speaker 1: There was a very different number of people who voted
Speaker 1: on election day than those who had voted early. And
Speaker 1: in fact, in all of the seats that the LNP
Speaker 1: has won, have a look at this. They won the
Speaker 1: seat of Mackay. There was an eighty one percent early
Speaker 1: vote in Calandra seventy one percent, Harvey Bay sixty six percent,
Speaker 1: rock Hampton sixty one there Andoa fifty eight, Nicklin fifty four.
Speaker 1: Half of all people had voted early in Pine Rivers
Speaker 1: and Keppel, almost that in Redcliffe Mundingborough and then yes,
Speaker 1: you get into the forties, but still a significant number
Speaker 1: of people McKay voted early. They didn't care about the
Speaker 1: campaign because they knew that the issues of the past
Speaker 1: four years were the reason that people were making their
Speaker 1: decision about the next four years, not the distraction of
Speaker 1: the past four weeks, which brings me to message number two.
Speaker 1: Much of the media, especially here in Queensland or they
Speaker 1: fell for Labour's lives, They fell for the spin about
Speaker 1: what was going on here. Now the media has a
Speaker 1: very strong relationship with the Queensland government. I say that because,
Speaker 1: as I said, with the exception of the Newman era,
Speaker 1: it's always been Labor governments. Virtually everyone who ends up
Speaker 1: being a high profile state political reporter ends up working
Speaker 1: for the Labor Party because that's the job that's on offer.
Speaker 1: Many junior people in and around the media they realize
Speaker 1: they can get a pay rise of an extra five
Speaker 1: ten twenty five thousand dollars, which is very attractive when
Speaker 1: you're a young reporter and they all end up working
Speaker 1: for the government or for the departments. Mount Kuther is
Speaker 1: where all the TV stations are. It's the highest point
Speaker 1: here in Brisbane. There's an awful lot of people who
Speaker 1: over the past ten years have made a straight march
Speaker 1: from working covering Queensland politics to becoming participants for one
Speaker 1: side of Queensland politics, which means they've all got mates
Speaker 1: back up on the hill. They've all got mates in
Speaker 1: the newsrooms everywhere, and they've all got mates in the
Speaker 1: punditory class, which means those of us that are on
Speaker 1: the television. If we know one of those people will
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you, mate? What do you reckon's going on?
Speaker 1: What can you hear? What can you will? Surprise? Surprise,
Speaker 1: guess what they have been saying. Oh mate, that's coming
Speaker 1: back to us. I'm telling you this abortion thing, I mate,
Speaker 1: it's frightening everyone and you've seen that pop up in
Speaker 1: the coverage in the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: In a major development changes to Queensland's abortion laws, l.
Speaker 6: MP leader has been asked to repeat his position on abortion.
Speaker 1: The divisive abortion debate has resurface.
Speaker 7: Savor Chriso fully dodged questions around energy and abortion, and.
Speaker 1: Then eventually these things start creating a feedback loop with
Speaker 1: the things that are being said on television start to
Speaker 1: be reflected by the people who watched television, and then
Speaker 1: the people on television took to the people watching television
Speaker 1: to reinforce what they You see what I mean. And
Speaker 1: something that we called out on day one of this
Speaker 1: campaign was alive. Day one of this campaign was a lie.
Speaker 1: We showed you, we proved it. Day one of this
Speaker 1: election was a lie. You started to see and more
Speaker 1: and more articles, and more and more intelligence, and more
Speaker 1: and more spin, which is why you will have seen
Speaker 1: on this program, even me with the clear eyes of
Speaker 1: everything that's bad about this government. Well there must be
Speaker 1: something to this. So you're looking into this data and
Speaker 1: that data reality was for some it may well have
Speaker 1: been an issue, but when what was it? In Mackay
Speaker 1: eighty one percent of people voted early. It meant the
Speaker 1: last week of the campaign where the media was reflecting
Speaker 1: the spin and then sometimes some people on the ground
Speaker 1: voters we're repeating to the media is see what I mean,
Speaker 1: it felt like this was a significant issue, but guess
Speaker 1: what it wasn't. The significant number of seats that changed
Speaker 1: were outside of Brisbane, and that in and of itself
Speaker 1: does present a problem for the LMP, but that's four
Speaker 1: years down the track. Let's not talk about next election.
Speaker 1: This election and the issues from Townsville and up from
Speaker 1: the Sunny Coast all the way over to Woomba and
Speaker 1: even in the southeast was of course about youth crime. Now,
Speaker 1: crime will always exist, no one is ever going to
Speaker 1: pretend that it's not going to exist. But you want
Speaker 1: to make sure that when people do horrible things they
Speaker 1: are punished for it. Henceway adult Crime Adult Time worked
Speaker 1: as a message. People are sick of stories that they
Speaker 1: have seen over four years. In fact, they've seen them
Speaker 1: over eighties. In fact, I think they've seen them for
Speaker 1: the entirety of this government, which was that there are
Speaker 1: story after story after story that in Queensland, if you're
Speaker 1: ring triple O, the ambulance may not turn up. And
Speaker 1: if you do get an ambulance to turn up, you're
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to sit in the back of an
Speaker 1: ambulance because there's no room in hospitals This is a
Speaker 1: huge challenge. This will not be fixed in two weeks.
Speaker 1: But the LP has made it absolutely clear that their
Speaker 1: focus is reduce the number of victims of crime and
Speaker 1: reduce the chances of triplo not working or sitting in
Speaker 1: the back of an ambulance. Now, Labor has been in
Speaker 1: power and promised to do both of those things, but
Speaker 1: there's only so many times they can promise and underdeliver
Speaker 1: and things get worse before people turn around and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, goodbye, see you later. And then the
Speaker 1: last minute changed to Steven Miles. Oh, that was so
Speaker 1: energizing for the Labor Party campaign. Well mate, he was
Speaker 1: in the sidecar when Anastasia Palichet spun and told lies
Speaker 1: and did everything that she did to drive this joint
Speaker 1: into the ground. Her backside saved by COVID and gets
Speaker 1: Health Minister was so in the in Queenslanders saw what
Speaker 1: they saw, They saw it for a long time out.
Speaker 1: They voted early and the Labor Party didn't just lose vibe.
Speaker 1: They bang see you later, goodbye. A majority, a clear
Speaker 1: majority will now be in place for the LMP. Number
Speaker 1: three focus beat theatrics. David Miles, Sorry, David Miles, that's
Speaker 1: a friend of mine. Hello. David Stephen Miles and David
Speaker 1: crucif Foley, they had two very different styles. Miles, buddy,
Speaker 1: buddy with all the journos, and I'm on a jet
Speaker 1: ski and give them fresh pictures. Because if I give
Speaker 1: them fresh pictures, you know, and you get the people
Speaker 1: who work for you, who used to work for them,
Speaker 1: they run it and you look all, oh, look at me,
Speaker 1: look at me. I'm having so much fun. David cruci
Speaker 1: fully press conference, press conference, press conference, press conference, and
Speaker 1: when he did the press conference, he would have an
Speaker 1: example of what the policy was. Queenslanders, as we can
Speaker 1: see out of this election, they could not care less
Speaker 1: if the desperate premier was on the back of a
Speaker 1: jet ski firing a money canon at people. They saw
Speaker 1: in David crucifully and the olymp campaign a fresh start
Speaker 1: for Queensland excellently done and there would have been maximum
Speaker 1: pressure on them in the past couple of weeks to
Speaker 1: change to panic. They didn't and that did cause some problems,
Speaker 1: like the abortion issue, which was garbage from the start
Speaker 1: because they stuck to the line that they had was
Speaker 1: interpreted by the media as an evasiveness. So then the
Speaker 1: issue became some sort of insight into the potential premier's
Speaker 1: character as being evasive. What Queenslanders saw by how they
Speaker 1: voted was that they knew the thing was a lie
Speaker 1: and their actual priorities well, they matched up with the
Speaker 1: people who they're hired to be governed for the next
Speaker 1: four years. Congratulations to David Crucifillie about how he campaign
Speaker 1: about how he did not fall for the theatrics and
Speaker 1: the lies of the other one. Number four, the Greens
Speaker 1: flamed out. You know that the Greens had two seats here.
Speaker 1: They have lost one. They'll probably hold on to the
Speaker 1: other one that they had, but as always they were
Speaker 1: talking to big game, We're going to win six seats
Speaker 1: with ballance of power. Rah. You've also heard here that
Speaker 1: they're faced a nightmare scenario. Well, the Greens vote in
Speaker 1: certain seats did go down in other seats that did
Speaker 1: go up. The statewide number I'll get to in a second,
Speaker 1: but I'll give you the tip. The reason they lost
Speaker 1: one of these seats is because the LNP reversed a
Speaker 1: stupid decision they made at the last election, which was
Speaker 1: to deny the Labor Party seats, so they gave preferences
Speaker 1: to the Greens. The Liberal Party preferences not there. Guess
Speaker 1: what happened to the Greens. Their true support evaporated and
Speaker 1: they weren't able to hold onto one of their seats.
Speaker 1: Fifth and final thing worth mentioning here is, and I'm
Speaker 1: talking a lot about the queens And election. I'm going
Speaker 1: to a lot of people watching US on Frederware, particularly
Speaker 1: in regional Queensland. Not to mention everyone watching US right now, Fox, Tell,
Speaker 1: Flash and in all the other ways that you can
Speaker 1: watch US, Air, Samsung, LG, all the different ways that
Speaker 1: people watch this program. The minor party situation. Now, this
Speaker 1: basically was a transfer of vote from the MP to
Speaker 1: the Labor Party. But if you have a look the
Speaker 1: Greens vote, they may well have lost a seat, but
Speaker 1: they remain the same okay, at about nine and a
Speaker 1: half percent. So all of this they collapsed. That no,
Speaker 1: the LMP preferences that got them elected didn't get there,
Speaker 1: and some of their vote was actually up in some
Speaker 1: suburban seats. So let's not pretend the Greens are dead.
Speaker 1: As much as you and I would both like it
Speaker 1: to be the case, one nation held the line, but
Speaker 1: sadly haven't been able to get a seat. Congratulations to
Speaker 1: James James Ashbury for the way that he ran in
Speaker 1: Keppel and Paul in Hansen for holding onto those numbers.
Speaker 1: There's no upper House, which means these minor party votes
Speaker 1: don't get trained into seats in an upper house. KAP
Speaker 1: basically the same independence down family First. That one point
Speaker 1: seven percent are also equal preferences, which helped the LNP
Speaker 1: legalize cannabis. Now, this statewide number at one point five
Speaker 1: you're going to think, Paul, what are you talking about here?
Speaker 1: They only ran in a dozen or so seats, and
Speaker 1: in some of those seats they got like eight percent
Speaker 1: of the vote. In fact, in the competition for the
Speaker 1: last Senate spot after the last federal election, the fight
Speaker 1: was between one Nation and legalized cannabis. Now, I'm not
Speaker 1: speaking up for potsmokers here, I'm not one, right, but
Speaker 1: this is a little political movement that I think people
Speaker 1: who may think that the Greens are too wild on
Speaker 1: social issues, that some of those Green voters, dare I say,
Speaker 1: to the right of the left of the party. You
Speaker 1: get my point, They're going to move to legalized cannabis,
Speaker 1: all right. Legalized cannabis has got people elected in the Victorian,
Speaker 1: New South Wales and Western Australian parliaments. I think they're
Speaker 1: going to crack a Senate seat somewhere at the next election.
Speaker 1: Could be a silly prediction. We'll all wait and see together,
Speaker 1: but that's what happened when it came to the minor parties.
Speaker 1: All right, that's the five things we're talking about out
Speaker 1: of the Queensland election. We will discuss it all in
Speaker 1: a moment or two time here in Brisbane with one
Speaker 1: of our best mates in Brisbane and the incoming Deputy Premier,
Speaker 1: because they deserve their moment, they deserve their victory lap
Speaker 1: and then get on with the job. When everyone is well.
Speaker 1: The leader and Deputy Leader are sworn in the Morrow
Speaker 1: Ministry by the end of the week. But a fresh
Speaker 1: start for Queensan labor. It's been its lives, it's bs,
Speaker 1: it's inherent advantages gone great. Queensan gets a wonderful four
Speaker 1: years fingers crossed. All right, let's talk about some of
Speaker 1: the other stuff that's around today, including what about Alba
Speaker 1: In these airline upgrades, now, plenty of people get them,
Speaker 1: but it's something else when you're a politician. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but I turned around and I declared everything. Surprise, surprise.
Speaker 1: The buddy buddy relationship between Albau and Alan Joyce. It
Speaker 1: resulted in him, basically, apparently according to a new book
Speaker 1: that's coming out, he had the direct line of the
Speaker 1: CEO to say, Man, I'm flying over here. Can can
Speaker 1: I get the upgrade? Oh? Yeah? And what about who
Speaker 1: else I'm traveling with. The reason all this matters is
Speaker 1: because Albo, at one point in time when he was
Speaker 1: getting these gifts, was a transport minister. What would people
Speaker 1: say if the racing minister was getting gifts from the
Speaker 1: racing industry. What would the people say if the planning
Speaker 1: minister was getting gifts from developers? That's why this is
Speaker 1: an actual story. And while the Prime Minister can turn
Speaker 1: around and say, as he has been saying today, nothing
Speaker 1: to see here. Everything was declared.
Speaker 7: From time to time members of Parliament receive upgrades. What's
Speaker 7: important is that they are declared. All of mine have
Speaker 7: been declared. I know that arranging them go back a
Speaker 7: long period of time. That they have all been declared
Speaker 7: as appropriate.
Speaker 1: The reason this is a story, Okay, perhaps not full
Speaker 1: scale scandal, but the reasons is a story and the
Speaker 1: reason it should be a story for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Is because the person who at one point was the
Speaker 1: Transport Minister and therefore in part of the regulation of
Speaker 1: the industry of which he is receiving the favors from,
Speaker 1: who then in opposition, was also the shadow Transport Minister.
Speaker 1: So the assumption being that under the bill shorten prime
Speaker 1: Ministerships Albert would have gone back to being the Transport minister.
Speaker 1: See why you've got to keep the relationship up. And
Speaker 1: while all of this may be technically okay, and the
Speaker 1: rules say technically, as long as you declare it, everything's okay.
Speaker 1: In Australia there are plenty of politicians who have lost
Speaker 1: their positions because the rules might have said it's okay,
Speaker 1: but the pub test says that it isn't. And while
Speaker 1: I know the Prime Minister will turn up at a
Speaker 1: pub for a photo wop, for those of us who
Speaker 1: actually go to the pub on a Friday Sunday night,
Speaker 1: have a call to at a club or just like
Speaker 1: a slap every now and then. Well, we can see
Speaker 1: what this is, which is a very tight relationship between
Speaker 1: the people who are the regulator, the minister in this case,
Speaker 1: and the people they're supposed to be keeping an eye on,
Speaker 1: like the referee and the players. There's something weird about this.
Speaker 1: As I say, I'm not going to suggest full blown
Speaker 1: scandal and not suggesting it's off to the National Corruption Commission,
Speaker 1: but there are people who have lost their job for
Speaker 1: less for their part of the opposition. I think we'll
Speaker 1: talk about this all week.
Speaker 8: I think Australians can smell a rat. I think that
Speaker 8: what we've seen in these revelations in the excerpts from
Speaker 8: Joe Aston's book Today show what we all suspected, and
Speaker 8: that is that the Prime Minister has been running a
Speaker 8: protection racket for Quannas for a long time that is
Speaker 8: received personal and financial benefits.
Speaker 1: Nowability. It's something we've talked about a lot that basically
Speaker 1: in the private sector, when you stuff up well, you
Speaker 1: either get admonished, demoted or maybe even sacked for performance.
Speaker 1: In government, you just turn around and try to change
Speaker 1: the subject. But interestingly, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that
Speaker 1: is operating in Victoria is demanding greater accountability and they
Speaker 1: are suggesting that they may well introduce a formal way
Speaker 1: of getting it. Let me explain, this Council has put
Speaker 1: reports out in the past a whole series of demands,
Speaker 1: many that you and I would disagree with, about separate
Speaker 1: justice systems and separate child protection systems and essentially sort
Speaker 1: of a government within a government specifically for Indigenous people.
Speaker 1: Most of us would have a problem with it, for
Speaker 1: the government has got it, but it's sort of sitting
Speaker 1: on the report and not really responding. So today we
Speaker 1: read by the US Australian newspaper the Victoria's Truth Telling
Speaker 1: Body has threatened to haul labor ministers before accountability hearings
Speaker 1: as it accuses the Allen government of falling short on
Speaker 1: first peoples who shared their experiences brought on by colonization
Speaker 1: and historical injustices. Now, wouldn't that be amazing if, rather
Speaker 1: than politicians just establishing bodies except taking their report for
Speaker 1: the photo op and then just sitting on it, that
Speaker 1: someone would be able to demand accountability that they actually
Speaker 1: do what was in the report. For example, we still
Speaker 1: haven't got a formal response from the Australian federal government
Speaker 1: about the Royal Commission. Remember the Royal Commission report that
Speaker 1: was this high into veteran suicide. We still don't know
Speaker 1: how many of those recommendations they're going to put in
Speaker 1: place when the stack was that high for the Banking
Speaker 1: Royal Commission. Again, not many things that were the recommendations
Speaker 1: actually took place because there's no mechanism to haul people
Speaker 1: six months or twelve months and he go, hang on
Speaker 1: about that thing, what are you doing? Instead? It's left
Speaker 1: up to people in the media to ask those questions,
Speaker 1: and of course the politicians know how to move away
Speaker 1: from it or to distract the rest of the people
Speaker 1: asking the questions, to say, hey, that one question from
Speaker 1: that guy over there is really weird. What we're talking
Speaker 1: you about today is how evil Peter Dutton is. And
Speaker 1: of course when it comes to accountability in Victoria, there's
Speaker 1: no greater example of the lack of itn than Andrews
Speaker 1: and the behavior in and around COVID. Remember more than
Speaker 1: seven hundred people died because of the decisions by Andrews
Speaker 1: and his government around hotel quarantine, and of course no
Speaker 1: sanctions for anyone. Every single minister or former premier went
Speaker 1: on to new jobs in the private sector, many of
Speaker 1: them with jobs of the Grand Prix or all sorts
Speaker 1: of other places. The only person who didn't get a
Speaker 1: job was the one who was willing to look at
Speaker 1: a whistle rather than blow it, and that's the former
Speaker 1: health minister. Surprise, surprise, she spoke against the team, so
Speaker 1: no reward for her and no accountability for everyone else.
Speaker 1: And as we know, he went on, of course to
Speaker 1: get a gold medal for, among other things, services to healthcare.
Speaker 1: Our attention post Queensland is of course all about the
Speaker 1: United States. We will be there later this week, looking
Speaker 1: forward to doing shows from there. Now, can I explain
Speaker 1: to you tonight and I'm going to do this every
Speaker 1: night until we get there. We are going to talk
Speaker 1: about things in America. But the shows are not one
Speaker 1: hour long America fests, Okay. They will have local guests
Speaker 1: as you come to expect, like Bromwin and Stephen talking
Speaker 1: about Australian politics. My editorial will still be the bulk
Speaker 1: of which about Australian politics. Okay. So if there's something
Speaker 1: about Albow and the airlines, I'm going to talk about
Speaker 1: that at the same amount of details I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk about stuff in the United States. Okay. So if
Speaker 1: you see you'll read or see anything on your program
Speaker 1: guide that we're in the US, don't just assume Wall
Speaker 1: the war. Paul's going to boor US with data about
Speaker 1: the US election. We'll have some fun stories and fun
Speaker 1: things to do in America. We'll have a look at
Speaker 1: the presidential election. Obviously, on the day it happens, that'll
Speaker 1: be the shark. But between now and then, we will
Speaker 1: keep weaving in the Australian news because that's the reason
Speaker 1: that you watch us, and I'm so grateful that you
Speaker 1: always do. So let's talk about what happened since last
Speaker 1: we spoke. Kamala Harris big rally, thirty thousand people, Beyonce.
Speaker 1: For some reason, Beyonce did not see She turned out
Speaker 1: as a mother, not as a performer. Michelle Obama was
Speaker 1: at another rally, because apparently celebrities distract you from how
Speaker 1: terrible the candidate is. Where Michelle Obama said this weird theme, Pamela.
Speaker 9: She's putting herself out there, fearlessly, facing down even her
Speaker 9: harshest critics. She's seeking out Republicans to find common ground,
Speaker 9: and unlike her opponent, she's not ducking interviews or powering
Speaker 9: in safe spaces only with fawning audiences. Now she is
Speaker 9: showing us what a sane, stable leader looks like.
Speaker 1: Trump is dodging interviews. On Friday, he did a three
Speaker 1: hour interview with Joe Rogan, which, by the way, has
Speaker 1: had twenty five million people watch it on YouTube. Millions
Speaker 1: more have listened to it, either with people ripping it
Speaker 1: off from YouTube or through Spotify and the podcast version
Speaker 1: of things, which means the smarter play was to sit
Speaker 1: down and do an interview that's literally observed by millions
Speaker 1: of people in a weekend, as opposed to the star
Speaker 1: studded rallies that really don't have much of an echo.
Speaker 1: As for the latest numbers, they remain the same all
Speaker 1: the swing states, So the averages are still in favor
Speaker 1: of Trump. In Arizona, he's pretty clear there. However, it's
Speaker 1: less than a point in Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina.
Speaker 1: If like me, that gives you confidence because they always
Speaker 1: undercount his vote by a couple of percent, that's why
Speaker 1: you think that he's about to win. But I do
Speaker 1: want to put a data point here to tell you
Speaker 1: why everyone keeps saying that it's close. New York Times poll, Yes,
Speaker 1: I know, but still let me explain New York Times
Speaker 1: pole Nationally it's level. That's great for Trump. Okay, normally
Speaker 1: the Democrat has to be at least two to three
Speaker 1: points in front for them to have enough of a
Speaker 1: way of getting vote in the electoral College. But I
Speaker 1: do want you to know this. When it comes to men,
Speaker 1: Trump is beting Harris fifty five to forty one. When
Speaker 1: it's women and there are more female voters than male
Speaker 1: voters in the United States, it's fifty four to forty
Speaker 1: two in favor of Harris. When it comes to young voters,
Speaker 1: there's a twelve point advantage for Harris. When it comes
Speaker 1: to people between the ages of thirty to forty four,
Speaker 1: there's a five point advantage for Harris. Trump is winning
Speaker 1: because forty five to sixty four year old are backing him,
Speaker 1: and they're doing so by the best part of the
Speaker 1: seven points there and people over the age of sixty five.
Speaker 1: You'd think this would be Trump's biggest No, it's not
Speaker 1: Harris winning there. So that's why Democrats think they are
Speaker 1: still in with a shot. Definitely not in the shots.
Speaker 1: The Queensland Labor Party goodbye God for at least four years,
Speaker 1: fingers crossed. We will talk about that I made here
Speaker 1: in Brisbane, as well as the dipping Premier incoming Jared
Speaker 1: Bly plus the rest of the days news and some
Speaker 1: bold predictions for a week again. I'm glad you're here.
Speaker 1: Big night here in Bristol. All right, let's get right
Speaker 1: into it now. Linda Scott, she's free to say whatever
Speaker 1: she wants. She of course is a former counselor in
Speaker 1: the city of Sydney. She's later to her bootstraps, good
Speaker 1: on her coming on this evening. And Lisa Godard is
Speaker 1: here in Brucebane. She was on the radio with four
Speaker 1: WEC last night, and of course a doning Media is
Speaker 1: her company, which I'm sure he's gonna be very busy.
Speaker 1: And then next sort of while Lisa, what do you
Speaker 1: think why do you think what happened happened yesterday?
Speaker 5: I think David Christophiley started this four years ago. He
Speaker 5: was so disciplined on his messaging. Now, you know, Paul,
Speaker 5: that's part of what I do. And look, he's a journalist.
Speaker 5: He understands how important it is to be a clear,
Speaker 5: concise communicator and.
Speaker 1: He was that.
Speaker 5: And I think if you tracked this over the past
Speaker 5: four years, he very much set the agenda. But Labour
Speaker 5: then had to fight on so we were talking about
Speaker 5: how we were talking about health, coster living and crime.
Speaker 5: Boy was crime a big one?
Speaker 1: Well, let's be honest, four years ago Frecklington at some
Speaker 1: point sort of discovered and tried to talk about it.
Speaker 1: But the way crusal fully Again, the reality is governments
Speaker 1: are booted out. Oppositions don't.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: However, the way that they once they've decided to boot out,
Speaker 1: they look and go do I trust this person to
Speaker 1: take over? And because of that relentless presentation, it meant
Speaker 1: that was the case. Linda. Obviously, I understand the disappointment,
Speaker 1: and being a friend, I'm never going to rub anything
Speaker 1: in here, right, but why do you think Labor lost?
Speaker 6: Look, congratulations to David chrisifully and the LMP team. You know,
Speaker 6: he's clearly won the election and that is a clear
Speaker 6: fact and he deserves congratulations for that. I do think though,
Speaker 6: this is not the outcome that the polls predicted, and
Speaker 6: it's not the outcome that most Australians who were watching
Speaker 6: the Queensland election intently predicted, and for that also congratulations
Speaker 6: are owed to Stephen Miles. Let's not forget the last
Speaker 6: wipeout of Labor in twenty seventeen had Labor reduced to
Speaker 6: seven seats. People were at the beginning of the Queensland
Speaker 6: election campaign predicting that kind of wipeout, and so to
Speaker 6: see the election be so close, to see the LNP
Speaker 6: win by so few seats and so many still hanging
Speaker 6: in the balanced Labor looks like maywell win seats back
Speaker 6: from the LNP and the Greens. It's a remarkable result
Speaker 6: for Stephen Miles, and I think he really will go
Speaker 6: down as a Labor legend, given the circumstances under which
Speaker 6: he came in and the kind of campaign he ran.
Speaker 1: Okay, the problem is, right, if you actually looked at
Speaker 1: the twelve seats they needed to win, there was places
Speaker 1: like Bunderberg that was literally the last election, fifteen votes
Speaker 1: in it. Guess what, Labour's probably going to hold Bunderberg. Okay,
Speaker 1: But then you flip to the next seat, the next seat,
Speaker 1: the next seat. You start getting up to eight percent
Speaker 1: around the sort of eight seats that are needed, let
Speaker 1: alone the ten, let alone the twelve, and then the
Speaker 1: places that have taken them beyond that in the majority
Speaker 1: are much bigger margins. So look, if someone somewhere said
Speaker 1: they're going to be reduced labor's going to be reduced
Speaker 1: to the size of a torago. Well guess what they
Speaker 1: have no idea what they were talking about. I'm quickly
Speaker 1: scanning my memory. No, don't believe it was me. But
Speaker 1: still I don't know what they're talking about to get
Speaker 1: to government because of how bad the last election was.
Speaker 1: Really they were never a chance of winning twenty five
Speaker 1: thirty seats because the margins were so.
Speaker 5: Mass And I think what was interesting is that we
Speaker 5: all knew that the regions would be so important, but
Speaker 5: Fortress Brisbane LMP started to crack that. Look at Redcliffe,
Speaker 5: so there are a number of seats there that we
Speaker 5: were watching last night and go, well here they go.
Speaker 5: And look, it was a nervous time as you watch
Speaker 5: this in those first few hours until pre polling numbers
Speaker 5: started to come through, it was looking very dicey in
Speaker 5: a few of those areas. Weren't sure which way it
Speaker 5: would go.
Speaker 1: And that's why Miles made the most of that period
Speaker 1: of doubt. Again, right, the count and election ninety is
Speaker 1: different than the result. Okay, the result is that they
Speaker 1: have lost at least thirteen, maybe up to fifteen change
Speaker 1: of government majority government. That's the way that it goes.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Greens. To me, I think the
Speaker 1: biggest factor, apart from lots of reasons why people are
Speaker 1: annoyed with them, was that they lost a seat, maybe
Speaker 1: a second because there's no LNP preferences in those seats.
Speaker 1: It's like fifteen twenty thousand votes that didn't end up
Speaker 1: going their way because the Greens as an overall number
Speaker 1: in Queensland exactly the same vote.
Speaker 2: As for years.
Speaker 5: But let's talk about Maywa. So Maywi is a seat
Speaker 5: that takes in UQ. So there's seventeen schools and there's
Speaker 5: UQ University of Queensland in that seat, and it's part
Speaker 5: of the federal seat of Ryan. Now Natasha Winter was
Speaker 5: running there for the LMP. Now at the moment she
Speaker 5: is winning on the primary vote against the Greens. So
Speaker 5: it's down to the wire on that one. Let's say
Speaker 5: it could be this goes to your point earlier, it
Speaker 5: could be ten days before that seat is decided. And
Speaker 5: right now you've got Labor preferencing the Greens. Well that's
Speaker 5: what she's up against, right So she's been out there,
Speaker 5: she's been fighting the good fight. But it could be
Speaker 5: Labor preferences that then push the Greens into that seat.
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing I mean, Linda, philosophically, you
Speaker 1: chose the left of the Labor Party, which ends up
Speaker 1: fighting with the Greens. Okay, the Greens say that at
Speaker 1: a federal level. Oh, look, because we won three seats
Speaker 1: in Queensland, we're on our way through. But again that's preferences,
Speaker 1: and at a time of a change of government. Again,
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, let's not put a stake
Speaker 1: through the Green's heart and pretend you know, ding dong,
Speaker 1: the witch is dead. It ain't. The vote is exactly
Speaker 1: the same as it was four years ago, and they
Speaker 1: have thousands of people that they think can mobilize at
Speaker 1: a federal election. But the reality is is that labor
Speaker 1: in Queensland is a lot leftier than labor in Cambrey's.
Speaker 1: So do the Greens have a different offering when they're
Speaker 1: going up against well, yes, a left wing version of
Speaker 1: the Labor Party in our but not as far left
Speaker 1: as they are.
Speaker 6: Look, I think the Greens are going to get a
Speaker 6: big whack up call after this Queensland election. I mean,
Speaker 6: it is of course the case that during the federal
Speaker 6: election they won three federal seats right in the heart
Speaker 6: of Brisbane, and the fact that they appear to have
Speaker 6: potentially be at risk of losing a seat and not
Speaker 6: gaining any seats. I mean that is not a result
Speaker 6: that Adam Bandt was predicting. It's not a result that
Speaker 6: the Greens were predicting. It's really quite remarkable. And they will, still,
Speaker 6: should they win seats, rely on a complex flow of
Speaker 6: preferences to get there. So, for example, in the South
Speaker 6: Brisbane seat that they're still having a look at whether
Speaker 6: or not they might win, the Greens will rely on
Speaker 6: one nation flow to get the Liberals higher than Labor
Speaker 6: in order to get themselves over the line.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 6: So let's be clear, they've had a very bad result,
Speaker 6: much worse than predicted. And it is remarkable given they
Speaker 6: have three federal seats where you'd think those federal members
Speaker 6: would be out doing the task to kind of convert people,
Speaker 6: but actually they're not doing that and being completely ineffective.
Speaker 6: And I think this is a powerful message for the
Speaker 6: Greens when you continue to attack labor, when you block
Speaker 6: progressive outcomes like the housing affility to be when you
Speaker 6: when you attack.
Speaker 10: Them run records.
Speaker 1: If he was a greed go backwards, free lunch fifty
Speaker 1: this come on.
Speaker 6: He had a great, great labor cost of living policies.
Speaker 6: They're not Greens policies.
Speaker 9: They're great labor.
Speaker 6: This is going to be our bow policy.
Speaker 1: Almost going with free lunches to the next election.
Speaker 6: Look, these are great labour Queensland cost of living policies
Speaker 6: and the Greens have really, I think, not gone as
Speaker 6: well as anyone would have predicted before this election. If
Speaker 6: they're to do as well even as they did, they're
Speaker 6: going to be having to get there based on one
Speaker 6: nation preferences to get the Liberal.
Speaker 1: Vote again, tearing up the Greens. We all know how
Speaker 1: I feel about the Greens. I'm just saying the people
Speaker 1: who are and I've seen it on the telly, they're
Speaker 1: all ding dong, they're gone. You know, the exact same vote, Okay,
Speaker 1: exact same voight where it was important, the preferences important,
Speaker 1: but they didn't drop by six points.
Speaker 5: References impulsory preferential voting.
Speaker 1: Well that's going to go.
Speaker 5: Really it pually needs to get rid of.
Speaker 1: Get rid of that, needs to change the financial gerrymander.
Speaker 1: All that will happen in a second. We've got the
Speaker 1: incoming Deputy premier here standing by so quickly. Who do
Speaker 1: you think is winning the American election right now? Not
Speaker 1: who's going to win in eight days time. It's just
Speaker 1: we have to say right now and what data would
Speaker 1: push you in that direction?
Speaker 5: I think Trump, and I think you've seen a Michelle
Speaker 5: Obama out there campaigning for Kamala. Kamala is losing the men,
Speaker 5: the African American men, hispatic men particularly. I think he
Speaker 5: was really smart to do to do Rogan because that
Speaker 5: will talk to them. I couldn't believe Michelle Obama is
Speaker 5: saying what you say.
Speaker 1: He's dodging interviews while he's just doing a three and
Speaker 1: a bit India three and a bit interview.
Speaker 5: Thank god as it wasn't hurt.
Speaker 1: Linda, give me the bumper stick and reason why you
Speaker 1: think Harris is winning on a data point.
Speaker 6: Look, I think Kamala has still just got the odds.
Speaker 6: But we're saying the tech billionaires swinging hard in the
Speaker 6: newspapers they own and across platforms behind Trump, and that
Speaker 6: is really influential and it's trying to influence the vote
Speaker 6: in a pretty scary way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what about fifty one intelligence agencies pretending something
Speaker 1: that was real wasn't. But anyway, again, I'm not rubbing
Speaker 1: saltman the wounds. Be a good friend, Be a good friend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you ladies, so appreciate it. All right, quick break back.
Speaker 1: We're more here on Port Murray Live incoming Deputy Premier
Speaker 1: a Queensland. What to expect in the first one hundred days.
Speaker 1: Jared Blay is the Deputy leader of the LMP. Come
Speaker 1: tomorrow will be the Deputy Premier of Queensland. He's in
Speaker 1: the man cave here in Bricebane.
Speaker 10: Congratulations, thank you mate, and great to have you and Brucebane.
Speaker 1: Let's make it permanent, yes, darling, please, the citizenship is
Speaker 1: on its way the mountain. You had to climb, all right.
Speaker 1: And I was trying to sort of talk about this
Speaker 1: with people on and off last night. The idea that
Speaker 1: fifteen percent seats were going to swing was garbage, right,
Speaker 1: you had to get to the twelve. And now you
Speaker 1: pass the twelve. The numbers started to get high. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you are now in a clear majority. So all
Speaker 1: that rubbish from miles last night. You're in government and
Speaker 1: you will govern with the majority because you have one.
Speaker 10: Well, we think we're at about fifty three.
Speaker 11: Now forty seven seat majority you need for a majority,
Speaker 11: and we're at about fifty three. We think we've just
Speaker 11: taken Cook off the Labor Party as well, Paul.
Speaker 10: So you know, we've always said it was going to
Speaker 10: be a mountain.
Speaker 11: We were on thirty four members of Parliament and we
Speaker 11: needed to get forty seven for.
Speaker 10: A majority, so it was always, you know, a huge climb.
Speaker 11: So you know what David cris A fully and the
Speaker 11: team have been able to pull off last night with
Speaker 11: Queensland is getting behind us and wanting change a fresh start,
Speaker 11: is an incredible feat because we were starting from way
Speaker 11: back here.
Speaker 1: And also many of the games and again, look it's
Speaker 1: just the way labor works, right, so pleap well, plase,
Speaker 1: you know, clip it up and do what you want
Speaker 1: with it. But still they have so many natural advantages
Speaker 1: in Queen's Lane because of how long they've been here,
Speaker 1: their relationships with the existing media, their existing relationships with
Speaker 1: the beginning, all of that. Right, So you're taking on, frankly,
Speaker 1: an entire establishment, right, So now that you become the government,
Speaker 1: how do you make sure that there's not sort of
Speaker 1: a residual of that establishment that's loyal to getting rid
Speaker 1: of you rather than the people who will help you
Speaker 1: achieve what people hire you to do.
Speaker 10: Be a good government and be a good center right government.
Speaker 11: Bring people with you on a journey and then I
Speaker 11: think people will you know if you do that and
Speaker 11: people rewarded in four years time, plus a few other things.
Speaker 11: Get rid of the financial gerryman to the Labor Party
Speaker 11: of created in the electoral system, and bring back optional
Speaker 11: preferential voting. You know, Labor Party with this big scare
Speaker 11: campaign during this election, we're trying to make it all
Speaker 11: about oh, you're preferencing them, you're preferencing them.
Speaker 10: We don't want to preference anyone, yeah, correct, make it.
Speaker 11: Optional preferential voting and if you want preference someone at
Speaker 11: the ball of box, that's your choice Queensland. But if not,
Speaker 11: you don't have to do it. But of course the
Speaker 11: Labor Party.
Speaker 10: Wanted the Greens preferences.
Speaker 11: And you know our success for this election wasn't just
Speaker 11: in the regions. Like you look at the seat of
Speaker 11: Maywa in inner City Brisbane where it is on knife
Speaker 11: edge between not Labor and the.
Speaker 10: Greens, but l and P and the Greens. Now it's
Speaker 10: knife fetch. So we're not going to call anything on that.
Speaker 11: But the Greens have probably lost one seat to the
Speaker 11: Labour Party in South Brisbane and so you could end
Speaker 11: up with situation where the Greens don't have any state members.
Speaker 11: Now that would be fantastic. I've got to say, have
Speaker 11: no Greens in the state parliament. I think people are
Speaker 11: starting to wake up to the anarchist organization they are
Speaker 11: and how extreme they are.
Speaker 10: They're not environmental group anymore, They're just extreme.
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know what you're allowed to say about this,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to ask you anyway. Okay, So new
Speaker 1: Broom formally locked in tomorrow when you're sworn in, but
Speaker 1: today's the day when, no doubt you're sitting around all
Speaker 1: the rest of it, right, is it a tsunami of
Speaker 1: people running at you right now with binders and PowerPoint presentations?
Speaker 1: What are some of the practical things about changing from
Speaker 1: potential to actual government that happened?
Speaker 11: So David will be sworn in this premiere at eleven
Speaker 11: o'clock tomorrow, I'll be sworn in his deputy premiere and
Speaker 11: we'll split the portfolios up just so. Then gives us
Speaker 11: a few days to look at the ministry and the portfolios.
Speaker 10: But the public service today were great.
Speaker 11: They were now the binders were there, the briefs were there,
Speaker 11: I've got to say, and the table was ten meters
Speaker 11: long of briefs, so we're getting through those.
Speaker 10: But you know, they were so the public servants today
Speaker 10: were so great.
Speaker 11: They already had prepared one hundred day plan for implementation
Speaker 11: of our hundred day plan and vision for Queens right.
Speaker 1: So it's not that you have to educate them about
Speaker 1: what you're doing. They've all read up, they've read the
Speaker 1: book all the rest of it, and they say, this
Speaker 1: is your goal, this is how we achieve your.
Speaker 11: Goalcly So they put all the work into that, they've
Speaker 11: read the LMP's hundred day plan and then they've got
Speaker 11: the implementation of how to do that over the next
Speaker 11: hundred days.
Speaker 10: So that was really encouraging.
Speaker 11: And the public servants that I've been speaking to over
Speaker 11: the last twenty four hours they want they want to work,
Speaker 11: they want to work from your government and they've just
Speaker 11: had a bad government for ten years.
Speaker 1: Well that's made the day. I've only got thirty seconds left.
Speaker 1: On a personal level. Last night, you spoke about family
Speaker 1: and you spoke about volunteers. There are so many people
Speaker 1: involved in an election and their hearts all breaking half
Speaker 1: when you lose and they saw when they win. But
Speaker 1: they're always with you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh Bill, they are mate. And you know it.
Speaker 11: Nearly brought a tea to my l last night when
Speaker 11: I was talking about the volunteers, because without our volunteers,
Speaker 11: the Liberal National Party in Queensland doesn't have a Union movement.
Speaker 11: And I've got to say some of the thuggish behavior.
Speaker 11: So I was at Pummerstone where they were attacking our
Speaker 11: twenty two year old Arianna Dulan, who will be the
Speaker 11: youngest member elected to Parliament, and they are attacking her
Speaker 11: because of her age. I was copying abuse on the
Speaker 11: booth yesterday at Palmerstone and so it just makes it
Speaker 11: more satisfying that not only did we win government, but
