WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 27 October 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:08.119 This is Paul Murray lives. Get a from Brisbane, a 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:12.600 new beauty Queensland. They booted labor and they did so 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:16.439 forget the spin. They did so hard last night. Let's 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.640 talk about that Queensland election. We'll have guests here in Brisbane, 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.000 including the incoming Deputy Premier, jarreb Blay. In a moment 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.119 or two time. What doesn't feel like to have finally 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.200 climbed the mountain, slayed the dragon, all of that business. Well, 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.560 last night I was in the room when David Crucif 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.680 Foley took to the stage about eleven o'clock Brisbane Times. 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.680 I was pretty damn late compared to what the expectation was. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.640 But I'll give you the tip. The reason why this 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:42.519 took so long is because the counting took so long, 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.000 not because the result was in doubt. I'll have something 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.920 to say about that a little bit later. But a 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.680 new broom and a fresh start David Crucier Fuley. How 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.480 refreshing is this from a Queensland premier, not the type 0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:08.880 we've had for the past ten years. Of course, he 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.520 talked about the choice of hope over fear, and that 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.160 largely was the election. I'll get into great detail about 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.399 what the media thought this election was about. What the 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.560 media thought was happening in the final days of this election. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.640 But the Queensland voters, when they voted and how they voted, 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.920 has told us what this election clearly was about. Now 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:36.319 they're essentially was two tracks here. People have voted on 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.160 the day, people who voted early. The people who voted early, well, 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.959 they of course turned around and delivered an absolute thumper year. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.600 Now the reason why when we were in that room 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.880 last night on the LNP and sort of the first hour, okay, 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.160 maybe they're just getting started the second hour, what's really 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.560 going on the third hour? Okay, surely it's known by now. Well, 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.440 that's because the extreme majority of the vote happened before 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.120 election day and the way that I understand the queens 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.800 and Electoral Commission did its counting was that it counted 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.920 out the election day because all of that was in 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.160 one box. And after they had done that, that's when 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.280 they turned to the way bigger box, which had been 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.880 the early vote. Now the queens and Electal Commission has 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.359 to change. They either need more people or they need 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.880 new leadership, because this is not the first time there's 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.880 been a problem. And when I say problem, I mean 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.840 delay or lack of information. There were some seats that 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.840 weren't getting updated for a couple of hours, and that 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.960 meant that that couple of hour window was an opportunity 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.919 for the Labor Party and its spinners to pretend that 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.800 somehow magically they had held on to government despite losing 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.520 up to maybe fifteen seats. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.160 It was neck and neck, and Labor did put up 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.639 a fight and credit where credits due. There are certainly 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.280 a lot of Labor commentators today that say that Stephen 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.560 Miles as the Premier, did a fantastic job to try 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.800 and resurrect Labour's campaign, or. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.960 Labor to record the number of seats that we did 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:04.960 was a pretty amazing result. 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:13.520 This is rubbish, okay. The only expectation that the polls 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.800 gave us a couple of weeks out from the election 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.959 was fifty five to forty five. Currently the number well 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.640 forty nine and a bit for the Labor Party, fifty 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.240 four and a bit for the Liberal Party. Okay, So 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:31.520 what one point off that's still absolutely decisive, That is 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.040 not close, that is not a better campaign, that is 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.360 not oh ifs and buts, and if the campaign went 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.120 one week longer we would have won. How look at 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.880 the primary vote, Labour went down six point eight percent, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.960 the LNP went up by six points, which meant people 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.040 went from the Team red side of the road and 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.320 they walked straight across to the LMP. The minor party vote, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.320 which i'll explain in greater detail a little bit later, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.080 well it didn't appear. I also think people are getting 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.120 a bit too excited about pretending that the Greens are 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.920 dead all across queens and that's not true. But how 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:07.960 can I not talk about Giggles Miles the former Premiere 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.560 of Queensland. Don't that feel good to say the former 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:16.920 Premiere of Queensland. Now, he didn't come out and give 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.200 a speech when it had become clear that not only 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.440 had he lost government, but the LNP was going to 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.760 get a majority instead. He was making the most of 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.520 this awkward moment in the counting. Remember the results aren't changed. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.120 The counting of them was the moment for him to 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.720 be able to walk out there and pretend that somehow 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.760 he had had a triumph. I have never seen a 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:44.040 person who has been swept from government. Remember they lost 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:50.520 thirteen seats, They could end up losing fifteen don swept. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:56.760 Domestos has been applied, stain has been removed yet because 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.520 the Labor Party lives in this sort of fake world 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.240 where when they lose they were cheated out of it. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.039 When they win. It's a revolution for the ages that 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:11.039 this bloke, who is a hyperpartisan, used the moment when 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.120 post election you've got to let the air out of 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:18.600 the balloon. It's how we don't end up as widely 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.520 rilled up as places like the United States, when elections 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.880 are very close and there's a couple of seats in 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.800 it and there'll be a negotiation for who's going to 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.440 make the government. Well, I understand why people give speeches 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.839 to say they're still in with a shot. But the 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:39.160 bloke was rejected. He was rejected as not the preferred premier. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.280 He was rejected as not the man with the answers 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.320 for Queensland. He was rejected for the laughing about youth crime. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.479 He was rejected for trying to buy off an electorate 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.159 that even if they liked some of the buyoffs, they 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:58.400 took the money and said now you go and run away. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.280 Unlike the KFC, he had what shut up and take 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.120 my money. It was I'll take your money. Now you 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:10.159 shut up. But Stephen Miles, hyperpartisan to the end, was 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.120 talking not to the people of Queensland but to the 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.560 people in the room. This was an opportunity when hundreds 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.599 of thousands of people were watching across all the different 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.000 television networks. They were going to read all the coverage 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.240 in the Korea mal the next day, and this was 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.360 a moment where theoretically he would be able to begin 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.040 the rebuild. But I think he did himself about as 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.760 much damage as Paul Keating did after the nine to 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.800 ninety three election, when instantly Australians went I am not 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.400 interested in you, and they waited for three years and 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.000 they got rid of him. In this case, he's going 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.320 to have to work very hard to come back from 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.520 this as a way of presenting himself when he lost 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.000 last night. 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.040 Watching the results tonight, it is clear that that hasn't 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.760 been enough to secure a majority of seats for Labor, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:03.159 and also that the LP is unlikely to have a majority. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.880 Queenslanders know what I believe and what I stand for. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.760 While David Chris of Foley ducked and weaved and tied 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:18.320 himself into the tiniest small target, Queensland has ever seen. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:26.240 Never before has a party taken to an election with 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:32.640 so little detail of their agenda. This election finishes with 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.360 many more questions about the LMP's plans than answers. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:48.040 Rubbish. Right, he was arrogant, he was rude, he was impolite, 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.960 all of it. Of those things right, But basically it 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.320 was confirmed in the speech what you and I have 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.280 known all the way through the election and all the 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.680 way through his premiership that while many of his media 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.960 mates here in Queensland and around the country desperately hoping 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:03.920 that he would be able to find a way to 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.240 bribe or bs the people of Queensland, we saw the 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.560 real Stephen Miles. We saw through the campaign garbage, we 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:19.280 saw through the giggles, we saw through the biofs, and 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.160 the reality was that the nasty bloke who when the 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.000 mass came off, showed himself to be that nasty bloke 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.800 on election night is the bloke who we all know 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.880 would behave like that behind the scenes. Brutally. It'll be 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.120 a long road back for the Labor Party, but in 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.400 a state where they have been in government for much 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:44.079 of the past thirty years with one term exception, they've 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.120 got plenty of mates in the public service that will 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.959 leak to them. They've got plenty of mates in the 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.000 unions that went silent about hospitals and crime that are 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.240 now going to scandalize every single case to make it 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.319 look like the new government is more chaotic than the 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.760 one that has been moved. But I want to show 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.560 you two examples. But the type of Labor Party that 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.840 even people who don't vote for the Labor Party but 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.560 remember a better Labor Party, don't associate with the current 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.800 Labor Party. Murray, what is again a hyperpartisan? Who was 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.920 on television today? And if you can't say we lost 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.679 at the end of the game, then people know you're 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.680 not telling the truth. You can say you're disappointed, you 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.360 can say that people got it wrong, if that's your belief. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.360 But this was the reaction of Senator Murray Watt today 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.760 justifying the behavior of Miles last night. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.960 I actually thought Steven's speech was terrific. I thought he 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.800 talked about the great effort from Labor and its volunteers, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.560 acknowledged what Queenslanders had had to say through their voting patterns. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.760 I think to be fair to Stephen at the time 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.920 that he gave that speech last night, the result was 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.600 pretty unclear. The LMP hadn't reached a majority at that point. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.280 In times, no no no no no no no, no 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:01.199 no no, there's no do overs. There's no do overs. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.240 If the result was unclear, then you wait until the 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.360 result is clear. Instead, he waited long enough for the 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.520 narrative to go out, long enough so on some bizarre 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:18.840 passive aggressive level, he could deny. Yes, the hyperpartisans, but 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.040 the people who wanted the result to be a change 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.760 of government, to make it seen like there hadn't been 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:31.520 a tectonic shift in state politics that will not last forever, 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.240 only of course registered in four year increments, but something 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:40.600 big changed in Queensland. Now, compare Stephen, Miles and Murray. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.160 What with our mate rich O? He wouldn't defend this 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.000 crap last night, and that's old school labor, the people 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.800 who say that people always get it right even when 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:53.120 you lose, graceless as it was pathetic. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.960 I'm not going to defend that. That was a lot 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.280 of crap and I'm very disappointed that was a forfeited before. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.480 Good on him. If you watched our coverage last night, 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.720 you heard me say particularly warm things to Richo after 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.280 he said that. I repeat them again here. That is 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.520 how Australians play their politics. You can be frustrated, you 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.160 can be heartbroken, but the sun comes up the next day. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.520 And while certain decisions and certain personalities may not please 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.640 you at the end of the day, at the end 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.280 of the game, at the end of the fight, there 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:33.160 has to be a genuine spirit of recognizing what happened, 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.760 that you're won, and that you're lost. You should be 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.760 a good winner and not rub people's faces in it. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.520 And you should be a good loser and recognize that 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:46.320 you have lost, that you got it wrong. Thank goodness, 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.440 we have Richo on nights like last night. All right, So, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.960 as always after elections, I tell you the five things 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.640 that I want you to think about or that I 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.880 think we've learnt out of the Queensland election. Let's go 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.280 through them here. Number One, people made their mind up 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.720 very early. The election campaign did not change people's opinion. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.520 There was a very different number of people who voted 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.920 on election day than those who had voted early. And 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.800 in fact, in all of the seats that the LNP 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.000 has won, have a look at this. They won the 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.720 seat of Mackay. There was an eighty one percent early 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.760 vote in Calandra seventy one percent, Harvey Bay sixty six percent, 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.720 rock Hampton sixty one there Andoa fifty eight, Nicklin fifty four. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.480 Half of all people had voted early in Pine Rivers 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:40.480 and Keppel, almost that in Redcliffe Mundingborough and then yes, 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.200 you get into the forties, but still a significant number 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:47.880 of people McKay voted early. They didn't care about the 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.480 campaign because they knew that the issues of the past 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:57.400 four years were the reason that people were making their 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.480 decision about the next four years, not the distraction of 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.640 the past four weeks, which brings me to message number two. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.480 Much of the media, especially here in Queensland or they 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.679 fell for Labour's lives, They fell for the spin about 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:18.080 what was going on here. Now the media has a 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.319 very strong relationship with the Queensland government. I say that because, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.320 as I said, with the exception of the Newman era, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:29.280 it's always been Labor governments. Virtually everyone who ends up 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:34.360 being a high profile state political reporter ends up working 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.040 for the Labor Party because that's the job that's on offer. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:42.160 Many junior people in and around the media they realize 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.520 they can get a pay rise of an extra five 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.560 ten twenty five thousand dollars, which is very attractive when 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.360 you're a young reporter and they all end up working 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.319 for the government or for the departments. Mount Kuther is 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.960 where all the TV stations are. It's the highest point 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.080 here in Brisbane. There's an awful lot of people who 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.920 over the past ten years have made a straight march 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:08.280 from working covering Queensland politics to becoming participants for one 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.880 side of Queensland politics, which means they've all got mates 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.400 back up on the hill. They've all got mates in 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.560 the newsrooms everywhere, and they've all got mates in the 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:21.560 punditory class, which means those of us that are on 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.920 the television. If we know one of those people will 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.560 why wouldn't you, mate? What do you reckon's going on? 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.320 What can you hear? What can you will? Surprise? Surprise, 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.160 guess what they have been saying. Oh mate, that's coming 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.720 back to us. I'm telling you this abortion thing, I mate, 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.640 it's frightening everyone and you've seen that pop up in 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.320 the coverage in the past couple of weeks. 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.200 In a major development changes to Queensland's abortion laws, l. 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.320 MP leader has been asked to repeat his position on abortion. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.600 The divisive abortion debate has resurface. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:54.280 Savor Chriso fully dodged questions around energy and abortion, and. 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.120 Then eventually these things start creating a feedback loop with 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.640 the things that are being said on television start to 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.320 be reflected by the people who watched television, and then 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.000 the people on television took to the people watching television 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.040 to reinforce what they You see what I mean. And 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.920 something that we called out on day one of this 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.920 campaign was alive. Day one of this campaign was a lie. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.600 We showed you, we proved it. Day one of this 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.880 election was a lie. You started to see and more 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.240 and more articles, and more and more intelligence, and more 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.560 and more spin, which is why you will have seen 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.680 on this program, even me with the clear eyes of 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.120 everything that's bad about this government. Well there must be 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.120 something to this. So you're looking into this data and 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.760 that data reality was for some it may well have 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:42.680 been an issue, but when what was it? In Mackay 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.640 eighty one percent of people voted early. It meant the 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.120 last week of the campaign where the media was reflecting 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.200 the spin and then sometimes some people on the ground 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:57.120 voters we're repeating to the media is see what I mean, 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:02.040 it felt like this was a significant issue, but guess 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.760 what it wasn't. The significant number of seats that changed 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.360 were outside of Brisbane, and that in and of itself 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.320 does present a problem for the LMP, but that's four 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.520 years down the track. Let's not talk about next election. 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:20.240 This election and the issues from Townsville and up from 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.120 the Sunny Coast all the way over to Woomba and 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.800 even in the southeast was of course about youth crime. Now, 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.560 crime will always exist, no one is ever going to 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.640 pretend that it's not going to exist. But you want 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.280 to make sure that when people do horrible things they 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:40.920 are punished for it. Henceway adult Crime Adult Time worked 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.360 as a message. People are sick of stories that they 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.960 have seen over four years. In fact, they've seen them 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.680 over eighties. In fact, I think they've seen them for 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:57.040 the entirety of this government, which was that there are 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.240 story after story after story that in Queensland, if you're 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.840 ring triple O, the ambulance may not turn up. And 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.320 if you do get an ambulance to turn up, you're 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:06.600 probably gonna have to sit in the back of an 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.520 ambulance because there's no room in hospitals This is a 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.679 huge challenge. This will not be fixed in two weeks. 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.879 But the LP has made it absolutely clear that their 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:21.080 focus is reduce the number of victims of crime and 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.800 reduce the chances of triplo not working or sitting in 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.639 the back of an ambulance. Now, Labor has been in 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.399 power and promised to do both of those things, but 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.320 there's only so many times they can promise and underdeliver 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.360 and things get worse before people turn around and say, 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:42.840 you know what, goodbye, see you later. And then the 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.560 last minute changed to Steven Miles. Oh, that was so 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.720 energizing for the Labor Party campaign. Well mate, he was 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:54.080 in the sidecar when Anastasia Palichet spun and told lies 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.120 and did everything that she did to drive this joint 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.760 into the ground. Her backside saved by COVID and gets 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:05.479 Health Minister was so in the in Queenslanders saw what 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.720 they saw, They saw it for a long time out. 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.800 They voted early and the Labor Party didn't just lose vibe. 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:16.200 They bang see you later, goodbye. A majority, a clear 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.920 majority will now be in place for the LMP. Number 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:29.959 three focus beat theatrics. David Miles, Sorry, David Miles, that's 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.400 a friend of mine. Hello. David Stephen Miles and David 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.600 crucif Foley, they had two very different styles. Miles, buddy, 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.800 buddy with all the journos, and I'm on a jet 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.080 ski and give them fresh pictures. Because if I give 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.720 them fresh pictures, you know, and you get the people 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.320 who work for you, who used to work for them, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.359 they run it and you look all, oh, look at me, 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.840 look at me. I'm having so much fun. David cruci 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:56.159 fully press conference, press conference, press conference, press conference, and 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:57.879 when he did the press conference, he would have an 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.120 example of what the policy was. Queenslanders, as we can 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.600 see out of this election, they could not care less 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.919 if the desperate premier was on the back of a 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:13.960 jet ski firing a money canon at people. They saw 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.960 in David crucifully and the olymp campaign a fresh start 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.520 for Queensland excellently done and there would have been maximum 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.080 pressure on them in the past couple of weeks to 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.440 change to panic. They didn't and that did cause some problems, 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.919 like the abortion issue, which was garbage from the start 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.639 because they stuck to the line that they had was 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.359 interpreted by the media as an evasiveness. So then the 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.600 issue became some sort of insight into the potential premier's 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:46.960 character as being evasive. What Queenslanders saw by how they 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:51.080 voted was that they knew the thing was a lie 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.800 and their actual priorities well, they matched up with the 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.600 people who they're hired to be governed for the next 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.000 four years. Congratulations to David Crucifillie about how he campaign 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:04.479 about how he did not fall for the theatrics and 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:08.000 the lies of the other one. Number four, the Greens 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.400 flamed out. You know that the Greens had two seats here. 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.080 They have lost one. They'll probably hold on to the 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.240 other one that they had, but as always they were 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.040 talking to big game, We're going to win six seats 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.920 with ballance of power. Rah. You've also heard here that 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:29.280 they're faced a nightmare scenario. Well, the Greens vote in 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.320 certain seats did go down in other seats that did 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.520 go up. The statewide number I'll get to in a second, 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.000 but I'll give you the tip. The reason they lost 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.119 one of these seats is because the LNP reversed a 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.160 stupid decision they made at the last election, which was 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.240 to deny the Labor Party seats, so they gave preferences 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:52.320 to the Greens. The Liberal Party preferences not there. Guess 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:58.119 what happened to the Greens. Their true support evaporated and 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:00.280 they weren't able to hold onto one of their seats. 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.159 Fifth and final thing worth mentioning here is, and I'm 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.159 talking a lot about the queens And election. I'm going 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.760 to a lot of people watching US on Frederware, particularly 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.960 in regional Queensland. Not to mention everyone watching US right now, Fox, Tell, 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:12.919 Flash and in all the other ways that you can 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.159 watch US, Air, Samsung, LG, all the different ways that 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.840 people watch this program. The minor party situation. Now, this 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.600 basically was a transfer of vote from the MP to 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.760 the Labor Party. But if you have a look the 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.679 Greens vote, they may well have lost a seat, but 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.119 they remain the same okay, at about nine and a 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.800 half percent. So all of this they collapsed. That no, 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:39.320 the LMP preferences that got them elected didn't get there, 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.200 and some of their vote was actually up in some 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:44.920 suburban seats. So let's not pretend the Greens are dead. 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:46.200 As much as you and I would both like it 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.720 to be the case, one nation held the line, but 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.720 sadly haven't been able to get a seat. Congratulations to 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.240 James James Ashbury for the way that he ran in 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:56.840 Keppel and Paul in Hansen for holding onto those numbers. 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.520 There's no upper House, which means these minor party votes 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.280 don't get trained into seats in an upper house. KAP 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:07.480 basically the same independence down family First. That one point 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:11.159 seven percent are also equal preferences, which helped the LNP 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.840 legalize cannabis. Now, this statewide number at one point five 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.800 you're going to think, Paul, what are you talking about here? 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:18.760 They only ran in a dozen or so seats, and 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:21.040 in some of those seats they got like eight percent 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.000 of the vote. In fact, in the competition for the 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.359 last Senate spot after the last federal election, the fight 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:32.359 was between one Nation and legalized cannabis. Now, I'm not 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.800 speaking up for potsmokers here, I'm not one, right, but 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:37.880 this is a little political movement that I think people 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.520 who may think that the Greens are too wild on 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:44.880 social issues, that some of those Green voters, dare I say, 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.080 to the right of the left of the party. You 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:50.240 get my point, They're going to move to legalized cannabis, 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:55.200 all right. Legalized cannabis has got people elected in the Victorian, 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.840 New South Wales and Western Australian parliaments. I think they're 0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:03.479 going to crack a Senate seat somewhere at the next election. 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:06.320 Could be a silly prediction. We'll all wait and see together, 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.120 but that's what happened when it came to the minor parties. 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:10.920 All right, that's the five things we're talking about out 0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:12.919 of the Queensland election. We will discuss it all in 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:15.080 a moment or two time here in Brisbane with one 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.879 of our best mates in Brisbane and the incoming Deputy Premier, 0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.320 because they deserve their moment, they deserve their victory lap 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.560
