Speaker 1: From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Murray Live.
Speaker 2: Hello for you and James Morrow for filling in over
Speaker 2: the past few days.
Speaker 1: How's your weekend here?
Speaker 2: I know I'm asking that question a little bit too late.
Speaker 2: Mind spectacular?
Speaker 1: Oudam a skin? Amazing?
Speaker 2: Why my favorite team in my favorite sport, Erebus wins Baptist.
Speaker 2: My favorite owner, my favorite team in my favorite sport.
Speaker 2: Betty and Daniel, Congratulations their second win at Baptist, this
Speaker 2: one even sweeter than the first. Congratulations to Brodie and
Speaker 2: Todd the drivers are my favorite team in my favorite sport.
Speaker 2: And Barry Ryan, of course, the man who puts the
Speaker 2: whole team together behind the scenes. Congratulations to all of them.
Speaker 2: I could go on all night, but I won't, but
Speaker 2: I can tell you Friday practice, Saturday qualifying, Sunday race.
Speaker 2: I'm screaming at the telly the whole time because I
Speaker 2: was hanging out with other mates in Queensland. What a weekend.
Speaker 2: What a feeling that sport can give you. I hope
Speaker 2: you get the chance to feel it in your favorite
Speaker 2: sports sometimes soon.
Speaker 1: Congratulations.
Speaker 2: I have chat to Betty a little bit later in
Speaker 2: the week, but first let's deal with some of the
Speaker 2: stuff anything that's happened since Sireo has it been a one.
Speaker 3: I had a secure roof over my head of public housing,
Speaker 3: which was council owned. But I had that security and
Speaker 3: that game and my mum, that security of a starting life.
Speaker 3: And we've said that our priority is cost of living.
Speaker 4: With Australia in the middle of a housing crisis, the
Speaker 4: Prime Minister has defended his new multimillion dollar investment.
Speaker 5: Anthony Abinezi is the proud new owner of a Central
Speaker 5: Coast beach house worth more than four million dollars.
Speaker 2: What the Housing Commission guy has found more money bound
Speaker 2: the back of the lounge to be able to buy
Speaker 2: an even bigger investment property than he had before. Gees,
Speaker 2: times are good if you happen to be at that
Speaker 2: end of the plane, the private plane, if you will
Speaker 2: you know this one. You've heard it all day and
Speaker 2: by the way, this man Alex will turn around saying
Speaker 2: Scott has mentioned six times X shows okay, but as
Speaker 2: if this isn't worth mentioning four point three million dollars,
Speaker 2: wasn't the one he was selling one point nine So
Speaker 2: I don't know where the extra money comes from. But wow,
Speaker 2: now the Prime Minister had a few little crack at
Speaker 2: this about how to explain this pretty tone deaf moment.
Speaker 2: And I'll explain to those that are saying nothing to
Speaker 2: see here, why this is the tone deaf moment. This
Speaker 2: is the Prime Minister explaining how it was really important that,
Speaker 2: despite the fact that he doesn't plan to go anywhere
Speaker 2: anytime soon, he's got two taxpayer funded mansions.
Speaker 1: He had to buy this one rollotape.
Speaker 3: I'm planning to be in my current job for a
Speaker 3: very long period of time.
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's not because he's planning to retire. So
Speaker 2: why would you put your head in the proverbial line's
Speaker 2: mouth of how this looks. It wasn't because he had
Speaker 2: to spend more time with his family. It wasn't because
Speaker 2: he had to choose family over work.
Speaker 1: No, it's just because he could.
Speaker 3: Again, well, Jody and I are getting married, as is known,
Speaker 3: and I'm pleased about that. And Jad's a coasty. She's
Speaker 3: a proud coasty. She's as proud of being a coasty
Speaker 3: as Jimmy is here of being a Logan lifelong resident.
Speaker 3: There are three generations of Hayden on the Hayden's on
Speaker 3: the coast there, and when your relationship changes, your life
Speaker 3: changes and you make decisions. But what I'm focused on
Speaker 3: is making sure that everyone can get a roof over
Speaker 3: their head. I'm focused on increased public housing and social
Speaker 3: housing investment.
Speaker 2: So the wedding, which remember we were told was put
Speaker 2: off until after the next election. So if you're not
Speaker 2: planning to live in the house, and you don't need
Speaker 2: to live in the house, and she was a coasty
Speaker 2: before and she's going to be a coasty after again,
Speaker 2: just because you can is the reason why he made
Speaker 2: the decision that he did to buy the house. Now,
Speaker 2: we've spoken before about people who have money in politics
Speaker 2: versus those that don't. But when you've made a virtue
Speaker 2: of pretending that you're not like everyone else and you're
Speaker 2: actually worse than many, if not everyone else, in terms
Speaker 2: of how tone deaf you are, that's why this becomes
Speaker 2: the story, the thing worth mentioning, the reason we're talking
Speaker 2: again tonight. Now, remember, by the way, this bloke has
Speaker 2: two taxpayer funded mansions. That's why the purchasing of extra
Speaker 2: homes behind the scenes, well presumably and obviously he's not
Speaker 2: paying the mortgage of the lodge or Curebilly house, so
Speaker 2: he's able to take his entire wage and throw it
Speaker 2: towards potentially a mortgage of a property that's twice as
Speaker 2: much as the one that apparently he's been selling. Now again,
Speaker 2: would you and I do the deal?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Probably on a financial level. But when you're a politician,
Speaker 2: you know it's not just about how it is, it's
Speaker 2: about how it looks, and how it looks is bloody awful.
Speaker 2: Also again, so okay, third Bote at the Prime Minister
Speaker 2: trying to explain exactly what the heck is going on
Speaker 2: here and about why there's nothing to see that he
Speaker 2: still is the boy who understands what it's like to
Speaker 2: struggle because he's just work so damn hard and he's
Speaker 2: that damn good.
Speaker 3: Of course, I am much better off as a Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: I earn a good income.
Speaker 3: I understand now, I understand now I've been fortunate, but
Speaker 3: I also know what it's like to struggle. My mum
Speaker 3: lived in the one public housing that she was born
Speaker 3: in for all of her sixty five years, and I
Speaker 3: know what it's like, which is why I want to
Speaker 3: help all Australians into a home, whether it be public
Speaker 3: homes or private rentals or home ownership.
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to say the quiet pit art loud
Speaker 2: if this bloke had somehow built a business outside of
Speaker 2: politics and found a way for that business to continue,
Speaker 2: but he was all arms length through trusts and all
Speaker 2: the rest of it in OK, we understand what's going
Speaker 2: on here. We understand that yes, it's his right as
Speaker 2: a private system to buy a private citizen to buy
Speaker 2: and sell.
Speaker 1: What he wants.
Speaker 2: But this bloke is only financially able to buy a
Speaker 2: four and a bit million dollar holiday house because he's
Speaker 2: worked for us for decades.
Speaker 1: That's weird.
Speaker 2: According to the Australian Parliament House Biography section, where you
Speaker 2: can check every single MP and what they're willing to
Speaker 2: tell you about their life before politics, here's what it
Speaker 2: says about Albow. It says, of course, that he left
Speaker 2: Sydney University. He then worked as a bank officer, otherwise
Speaker 2: has known as a teller for twelve months. There's then
Speaker 2: a missing four years, and from nineteen eighty five to
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four he's worked for the government. He worked
Speaker 2: as an advisor to a federal government minister. He's worked
Speaker 2: for the party while doing so he's worked as an
Speaker 2: advisor to the former Premier of New South Wales in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six, he eventually became an MP as which
Speaker 2: he has.
Speaker 1: Been to this very day.
Speaker 2: What I find amazing about all of this is that
Speaker 2: you can see so many parts of the media, particularly
Speaker 2: the television media, they did not really want to do
Speaker 2: this today. And a perfect example is, and I'll post
Speaker 2: the whole story up for you on the Facebook page.
Speaker 2: The Channel nine treatment of this story was as pro
Speaker 2: elbow as you could possibly get. Not to mention the
Speaker 2: fact that they ran it not in the first break,
Speaker 2: not in the second break, but after sport and at
Speaker 2: about seven minutes before the.
Speaker 1: End of the bulletin, when most people had gone.
Speaker 2: And in terms of the number of questions the Prime
Speaker 2: Minister got about this, well that's the bit that's interesting
Speaker 2: as well. You see he received just three questions about this,
Speaker 2: just three. As best as I could tell. They were
Speaker 2: often from the same place. And the amazing reason why
Speaker 2: I'm saying they only asked three questions about it was
Speaker 2: because the very reason for the press conference was about
Speaker 2: building more social housing. On the day when you want
Speaker 2: to focus on the people who have the least you
Speaker 2: are one of the ones who has the most, supposedly
Speaker 2: pretending to be the new style politician who's going to
Speaker 2: lift everyone up. We'll make the only person who's been
Speaker 2: lifted up is you by us, because you don't have
Speaker 2: to pay a single dollar for a single thing in
Speaker 2: one of two private mansions that you have right now.
Speaker 2: And just to drive home why I am annoyed about this,
Speaker 2: It's not because Anthony Albernese's financially doing better than the
Speaker 2: rest of us. It's not because Anthony Albernese is playing
Speaker 2: four D chess and he's somehow getting into our heads
Speaker 2: for free. It's because the reality in Australia today two
Speaker 2: news stories from today.
Speaker 1: Is that there are a lot of people on the
Speaker 1: bones of their backside. Now.
Speaker 2: Poor people have not been invented under this government, but
Speaker 2: they've got worse under this mob. So you would think
Speaker 2: that the Prime Minister would have a little bit of
Speaker 2: self control as opposed to just playing like no one's looking,
Speaker 2: or assuming that if anyone looks, no one will turn
Speaker 2: a blind eye or no one will turn a judging
Speaker 2: eye to his actions. Today, Labour faces backlash of a
Speaker 2: housing affordability crisis as concerns amount over falling standards of
Speaker 2: living a Red Bridge Pole, which is done also in
Speaker 2: conjunction with the organization ACCENT. People are asked, do you
Speaker 2: think home ownership is attainable for young people without family assistance?
Speaker 2: Three quarters of the country in every state said no.
Speaker 2: Now parents have a very dear friend of mine. We
Speaker 2: got the chance to chat every now and then, and
Speaker 2: they said that whoever came up with some sort of
Speaker 2: policy to make sure that their kid could buy a house,
Speaker 2: regardless of it's team red, team Blue or team green,
Speaker 2: they're probably going to flip that way. Look back against
Speaker 2: again at this ory, because I'm going to go on
Speaker 2: the state by state right, Let's start in Queenslane and
Speaker 2: work our way around. Seventy seven percent of people say
Speaker 2: no without banker, mum and dad in Queensland, the same
Speaker 2: in New South Wales, seventy six in Victoria, seventy seven
Speaker 2: in the Act, seventy six in Tasmania, seventy seven. Nationally,
Speaker 2: seventy six in Western Australia, seventy nine in the Northern Territory.
Speaker 2: Nowhere in this list does more than fifteen percent of
Speaker 2: people say people are able to buy a house without
Speaker 2: the assistance of Mum and dad. That's why today it
Speaker 2: mattered that the Prime Minister, who was overseeing a system
Speaker 2: that has that result, decides to spend twice as much
Speaker 2: on his next holiday house or next investment property as
Speaker 2: he did in his last investment property. From one point
Speaker 2: nine in our four point something that is just rubbing
Speaker 2: people's face in it. It really is right to do it.
Speaker 2: He can legally do it. Nobody's going to get him
Speaker 2: to resign. But this bloke is either on a death
Speaker 2: wish like Malcolm turmb but where he does not care
Speaker 2: or does not know and he is just running off
Speaker 2: the cliff, or he's so high on his own supply
Speaker 2: and his ego is so through the roof that he
Speaker 2: thinks it doesn't matter that no one will notice in
Speaker 2: thew any people who do notice are nasty buggers like me,
Speaker 2: or people who are never going to vote for him,
Speaker 2: like many watching this program. Second story about why this
Speaker 2: is a prime minister delivering a giant fu to millions
Speaker 2: of Australians today and then, when asked about it barely
Speaker 2: by the press or barely reported by some television networks,
Speaker 2: why this is just rubbing salt in the wounds no
Speaker 2: longer a crisis of temporary hardship, grim warning as Ozzie's reports,
Speaker 2: skipping food for days due to cost of living. The
Speaker 2: man who is the Prime Minister, who is most responsible
Speaker 2: and therefore in charge of a system and a country
Speaker 2: that is having this result, decided to go and buy
Speaker 2: a new property he doesn't need because she's a case Ian.
Speaker 2: Come on, please really imagine how.
Speaker 1: They would have reacted if this was a liberal.
Speaker 2: Let's go through the story, because I have quoted one
Speaker 2: statistic to you for a very long period of time,
Speaker 2: and there's a new version of it tonight. Australians are
Speaker 2: going entire days without food as a hunger relief charity
Speaker 2: issues are stark warning, paying attention. Nearly fifty percent of
Speaker 2: households earning less than thirty thousand dollars are experiencing food insecurity. Repeat,
Speaker 2: nearly fifty percent of households earning less than thirty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars are experiencing food insecurity. This comes from my mates
Speaker 2: at Food Bank and the Food Bank. Hunger reports in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four to thirty two percent of Australian households.
Speaker 2: That's three point four million households experienced food insecurity. That
Speaker 2: means the Prime Minister who's got enough cash to be
Speaker 2: able to turn his one point nine million dollar investment
Speaker 2: property into a four point three million dollar holiday house,
Speaker 2: good luck to him. But the people watching that's not
Speaker 2: on the news. Thirty two percent of Australian households, three
Speaker 2: point four million people do not know where their food's
Speaker 2: going to come from.
Speaker 1: Oh I've got more. The report also found that more
Speaker 1: than half of households.
Speaker 2: Affected by food and security are often skipping meals or
Speaker 2: going entire days without food. So while you're buying the
Speaker 2: new joint, the new holiday house for when eventually either Australia,
Speaker 2: the Labor Party or you yourself choose to walk off
Speaker 2: the stage, you'll be right power. But you know three
Speaker 2: point four million people who supposedly you understand, you empathize,
Speaker 2: that's where you grew up, that's where mun.
Speaker 1: Lived her entire life. You couldn't care less.
Speaker 2: Why do I know that to be the case, Because
Speaker 2: this federal government spends more money, more tax money, advertising
Speaker 2: its own political schemes than it does supporting organizations like
Speaker 2: food Bank. We showed you their budget submission where food
Speaker 2: Bank second bite other organizations that get together trying to
Speaker 2: take care of this very issue of people who can't
Speaker 2: feed themselves. They asked for forty five million dollars collectively.
Speaker 2: When it comes to the budget, this government is spending
Speaker 2: just forty million dollars alone flogging the two little too
Speaker 2: late tax cuts, let alone another twenty million dollars on
Speaker 2: the maid in Australian stuff automatically, two policies, two bits
Speaker 2: of government slash political advertising that dwarf the entire amount
Speaker 2: of money that this could this Prime Minister could decide
Speaker 2: to send the way of those who don't have enough
Speaker 2: food to eat. But because his assumption is that the
Speaker 2: greater Australians do not care about the poor, or they
Speaker 2: always assume that the poor exists. While at the same time,
Speaker 2: three quarters of Australian say that their kid would not
Speaker 2: be able to buy a house without theirinancial support. And
Speaker 2: if you don't have the financial support mom and daddy
Speaker 2: wanna joint or Nana and papararona joint, then.
Speaker 1: Your stuffed ah. But she's a coasting. Three quick numbers.
Speaker 2: I'm going to show you ninety seven percent of the
Speaker 2: families in this survey who have food insecurity, worry that
Speaker 2: the food's going to run out before they've got enough
Speaker 2: money to buy it. He's going to brand new house
Speaker 2: that he's not going to move into, he's going to
Speaker 2: rent out. He's going to live off the cream four
Speaker 2: point three million bucks. That's why it's bad news day.
Speaker 2: Those in some food insecurity who can't afford balanced meals,
Speaker 2: meaning the ready crap, junk food garbage.
Speaker 1: Ninety three percent.
Speaker 2: Severely food insecure households where adults don't eat so their
Speaker 2: kids can ninety seven percent of the millions of people
Speaker 2: three and a bit million people who can't eat this year.
Speaker 1: Forty five percent.
Speaker 2: Some months, not every month, cut back on what they
Speaker 2: eat so their kids can eat. Forty four percent they
Speaker 2: do cut back every month so their kid can eat.
Speaker 2: That's why I unpeeded off. That's why it's a story.
Speaker 2: That's why we lead the show with it, because it
Speaker 2: is the ultimate manifestation of a man who just says
Speaker 2: things about the poor, while the poor get poorer, while
Speaker 2: the hungry get hungrier, Where the homeless stay as far
Speaker 2: away from accommodation as possible, where three quarters of the
Speaker 2: country believe they're not possible for the person that they
Speaker 2: love as much as the Prime Minister loves his family
Speaker 2: for them to be able to buy a house unless
Speaker 2: somehow financially things work for them. This is the same
Speaker 2: prime minister, the same prime minister who promised us something
Speaker 2: very different.
Speaker 1: Reality, it's all worse.
Speaker 2: He rubs salt into the wounds, the protection racket and
Speaker 2: the media.
Speaker 1: I will report it, but.
Speaker 2: Quick change the subject. Three questions today. Let's see it three.
Speaker 2: I guarantee it'll be zero tomorrow because we couldn't possibly
Speaker 2: have back to back bad news days for the greatest
Speaker 2: Prime Minister of all the time, after all, way back
Speaker 2: when he used to be poor.
Speaker 1: Now he's thinking rich. Anything else happened while I was away.
Speaker 1: We're ahead.
Speaker 3: We haven't lost to go back to nemesis. We haven't
Speaker 3: lost a newspoll since I've been Prime Minister.
Speaker 6: The latest News poll with a coalition leading for the
Speaker 6: first time since the last election.
Speaker 4: Seven months out from the next federal election. The Coalition
Speaker 4: has taken a surprise lead in the polls.
Speaker 2: As voters give the government a right royal thumbs down.
Speaker 7: Coalition ahead for the first time since the election.
Speaker 3: I'm very focused on continuing to lead a majority government.
Speaker 3: My government has a record that we're very proud of,
Speaker 3: a record that's cut inflation in half.
Speaker 2: Oh so it does matter if you lose a new
Speaker 2: What a surprise that the bloke who promised this.
Speaker 3: The how is important. I'm serious about the how. We
Speaker 3: need to change the way that politics operates in this country.
Speaker 3: We need to be more inclusive, We need to be
Speaker 3: prepared to reach out, We need to be prepared to engage.
Speaker 3: What we can control is ourselves. We can control the
Speaker 3: way that we handle ourselves, the way that we conduct
Speaker 3: ourselves as a government.
Speaker 1: Who behave like this last week.
Speaker 3: The idea that way, have you got to retx or something?
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you see there babble babble, bab
Speaker 1: order who says this.
Speaker 3: We have said that our priority is cost of living, whose.
Speaker 2: Number one priority in the Parliament last week was to
Speaker 2: do this.
Speaker 3: We've introduced this legislation into the House today that safeguard's
Speaker 3: the future of the NBN.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister, who was overseas again last week, in
Speaker 2: fact moving question time to make it look like he
Speaker 2: was really in the country on a day when he
Speaker 2: was flying out of the country, was starting to get into.
Speaker 1: A world of trouble last week.
Speaker 2: This all just happened last week, shock results in the
Speaker 2: poll when the same government that is looking to change
Speaker 2: the negative gearing system that the Prime Minister see editorial
Speaker 2: subject above is using to its absolute hilt so he
Speaker 2: can by a four point three million dollar holiday house
Speaker 2: that he has no plans to move into, no plans
Speaker 2: to stay in, plans to rent out as soon as
Speaker 2: possible because it'll be the prime minister for as long
Speaker 2: as possible, meaning you'll make as much money as possible.
Speaker 1: What a giant surprise.
Speaker 2: That the bloke who's done all of those things is
Speaker 2: now the captain of the losing team. Or maybe something
Speaker 2: better happened today for the Prime minister. Perhaps he surrounded
Speaker 2: himself with winners today. Did he Where was he today?
Speaker 2: Let's have a look. Oh he was in Queenstand with
Speaker 2: Stephen Miles.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: You know Stephen Miles is excited when he's got the
Speaker 2: sunglasses on to make it seem like he's not walking
Speaker 2: with Anthony Oberneze. But anyway, are the Prime Minister and
Speaker 2: Premier very excited today that they were riding around on
Speaker 2: the fifty cent fares that in part will push the
Speaker 2: Queensland budget deeper into multi billion dollars worth of debt.
Speaker 3: I want people to vote Labor in Queen Center and
Speaker 3: a return Stephen Miles as the premier and this Blake
Speaker 3: here as a deputy premier, because I want a government
Speaker 3: that actually cares about Queenslanders.
Speaker 1: Oh don't they just it just helps if you're a
Speaker 1: Labor MP.
Speaker 2: If they care about Queenslanders, you know they would expect
Speaker 2: that when you call Triple O, the police will be
Speaker 2: able to turn up, actually arrest the person responsible, in
Speaker 2: the person responsible for the crime it's been committed to
Speaker 2: actually be punished. If you really want to take care
Speaker 2: of Queensland as you'd like, assystem where if you call
Speaker 2: Triple O, the ambulance will actually turn up.
Speaker 1: People have died of course waiting, which it's nothing here, right,
Speaker 1: nothing to worry about. We're just doing a press conference.
Speaker 1: The idiots or fall for it. Right that if you
Speaker 1: do get in the back of an ambulance, you won't
Speaker 1: have to go to a hospital.
Speaker 2: They have to sit and wait in the corridors of
Speaker 2: a hospital where yes, you might die, that's happened too.
Speaker 2: You may will actually be able to call t get
Speaker 2: in the back of an ambulance and then go into
Speaker 2: a hospital. I know that doesn't happen either because of
Speaker 2: hospital waiting an ambulance waiting.
Speaker 1: But nothing to see here.
Speaker 2: Stephen Miles has got a brand new idea that will
Speaker 2: signal handedly win him the election. Free lunch is for
Speaker 2: every private, very public school kid in Queensland. Now think
Speaker 2: of this matter what you will. It's on the latest
Speaker 2: pile of stuff they've got no money for. But you
Speaker 2: know this will win some people over. I can't pretend
Speaker 2: it's not. They've just got so many of these different announcements.
Speaker 2: But the question should always be going to pay for it?
Speaker 2: But it's not quite an idea that he's always believed in.
Speaker 2: You see, while Stephen Miles on Sunday was all smiles
Speaker 2: along with the Education Minister and even his own family
Speaker 2: members when he was announcing the policy, is slightly different
Speaker 2: from what it was when the policy was suggested just
Speaker 2: a few years ago. For example, here is Stephen Miles
Speaker 2: at this election.
Speaker 8: Free school lunches don't just improve the cost of living
Speaker 8: for parents by lowering grocery bills. Free school lunches improve
Speaker 8: educational health and life outcomes well.
Speaker 2: The Education Minister, who was at the announcement on Sunday,
Speaker 2: giggling and laughing as long as the Premier was making
Speaker 2: his free lunches and making his free lunches promise, What
Speaker 2: was herview about the taxpayer funded lunches when it was
Speaker 2: an idea from the LNP at the last election role tape.
Speaker 7: What we're trying to do here is solve a problem
Speaker 7: that really doesn't exist.
Speaker 9: And they wanted at one point one six billion.
Speaker 2: Dollars to see Oh yeah, and the promise that was
Speaker 2: one point one six billion that apparently was solving a
Speaker 2: problem that didn't exist. It is now one point four
Speaker 2: billion dollars And how's that going to be paid for?
Speaker 9: Again, Premier, this will be fully costed in our plans.
Speaker 9: The additional spending will need to be funded through debt
Speaker 9: until we return the budget to saplus.
Speaker 1: Credit just credit card. Don't worry.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what happens in two years time, two months time.
Speaker 2: It always one matters what happens in two weeks time.
Speaker 2: As these people desperately do any and everything they can
Speaker 2: to scratch the walls, will hopefully the gravitational pull of
Speaker 2: the Queensland people drags them from office. Billions upon billions
Speaker 2: upon billions of dollars they don't have. But so he
Speaker 2: can stand in front of a sign, or he can
Speaker 2: cut an ad in between the shows that.
Speaker 1: You watch faedecon.
Speaker 2: Oh you surely schools who are demanding this right, that
Speaker 2: would be the perfect example of the people who may
Speaker 2: well be able to chat that. So it's an idea
Speaker 2: that was in search of a problem four years ago.
Speaker 2: It's now costing more and it'll go on the credit
Speaker 2: card meantime. David Cruci fully today the alternative premier in Queensland.
Speaker 2: He's remaining laser focused on youth crime rightly so, among
Speaker 2: other things, he held up the numbers today to say
Speaker 2: why there'll be more police should he become premier for.
Speaker 7: The last election the government promised and I believe it's
Speaker 7: about fourteen hundred and fifty additional full time equivalent police officers.
Speaker 7: Well as of today there are eleven hundred short. Well,
Speaker 7: that means the thin blue line keeps getting thinner, so
Speaker 7: what we're offering is an end to that.
Speaker 2: He's also made a very practical decision that if the
Speaker 2: person who is driving the high speed car that has
Speaker 2: been stolen, it doesn't matter how old they are you
Speaker 2: will still keep pursuing them. Under the lefty world, what
Speaker 2: happens is is that the thirteen year old has allowed
Speaker 2: but then doesn't get chased by the police in case
Speaker 2: they crash the car. And now, of course they still
Speaker 2: may crash the car because they're speeding the car.
Speaker 1: But don't tell anyone.
Speaker 2: Crucif fully says, if you're old enough to reach the
Speaker 2: pedals and you can make it go that fast, yeah,
Speaker 2: the cops will follow you.
Speaker 7: We want to find a balance between safety of officer
Speaker 7: but sending a message to young crims that the days
Speaker 7: of them so they're living in an episode of Grand
Speaker 7: Theft Auto has to be a thing of the past.
Speaker 2: Now, apart from Stephen Myles ads the whole time where
Speaker 2: they refer to as the new Premier, new Premier, new Premier.
Speaker 1: All the time in Queensland.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's annoying those ads, but still someone will fall
Speaker 2: for them. There is a particularly impactful ad and it
Speaker 2: features this man, Russell Field. Russell Field is running for
Speaker 2: the LNP, but the only reason he came to prominence
Speaker 2: was for the most devastating of reasons that his daughter,
Speaker 2: who was pregnant, died.
Speaker 1: You know the story if you know Queensland.
Speaker 2: But this man, rather than sitting back, just like the Markhams,
Speaker 2: has decided to turn family tragedy into something to make
Speaker 2: sure that tragedy does not happen to other people. The
Speaker 2: Great Jonathan Lee sat down with him earlier today. He's
Speaker 2: part of their conversation about what drives him. Went through
Speaker 2: years after the accident of nothing happening, and there were
Speaker 2: still victims time after time.
Speaker 1: So I thought, well, you know, if i'd understand.
Speaker 4: Up, who will Russell wants youth defenders who do adult
Speaker 4: crimes to do adult time.
Speaker 2: If it stops one kid from stealing a car and
Speaker 2: go and killing somebody that's done its job, good on
Speaker 2: your mate.
Speaker 1: All the best. Hope you get elected. I hope the
Speaker 1: government changes Queensland. It's up to you. Don't assume somebody
Speaker 1: else is doing it. Don't assume somebody next door is
Speaker 1: going to do it. Next week, the stories will come
Speaker 1: out that the Poles getting tired. They always do during
Speaker 1: an election. The government's currently there.
Speaker 2: It's just spending other people's money, like the drunken sailors
Speaker 2: that they are using a very sharp political team that
Speaker 2: they have to try to convince people there's nothing to
Speaker 2: see here.
Speaker 1: You know, there's plenty to see here.
Speaker 2: Maintain the rage, maintain the focus, get rid of this government.
Speaker 1: You've got a couple of weeks to do so. Early
Speaker 1: voting has started, yes.
Speaker 2: Meantime, there's an election before the queens An election, which
Speaker 2: is just before the American election, and that is the
Speaker 2: Act election. In fact, it's happening this weekend. The Act
Speaker 2: leaders they debated of recent days, the Act Libs trying
Speaker 2: to get closer than they've gotten a long time. The
Speaker 2: same government's been in place for what twenty something years.
Speaker 2: Andrew Barr one of the worst of the chief Ministers
Speaker 2: that the Joints ever had.
Speaker 1: Well, of course, because he's.
Speaker 2: A labor man, he never gets expected to be pushed
Speaker 2: off his perch. But hopefully that happens, hopefully by the Liberals,
Speaker 2: if not by the lefty Canberra Independence connected back through
Speaker 2: to Pocock and all the rest of it, but most
Speaker 2: likely out of a surge in Greens.
Speaker 1: Why because we all know.
Speaker 2: How not quite the real world at the time, the left.
Speaker 1: Wing part of the Act is.
Speaker 2: But I wanted you to see just how crazy the
Speaker 2: Greens have become and just how fearless they are about
Speaker 2: the types of people that they believe should get responsibility
Speaker 2: of running a government in Australia.
Speaker 1: What about this bloke?
Speaker 2: This blow claimed the politicians are called for them to
Speaker 2: be hanged, and he had bragged in the past about
Speaker 2: his drug use. Let's focus on the hanging. This guy
Speaker 2: still a candidate. Didn't get sacked as a candidate. Remember
Speaker 2: if somebody was a one nation candidate, THEYD said stuff
Speaker 2: like this, imagine what everyone would be saying.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what's a green.
Speaker 2: The party was forced to clarify to the candidate for
Speaker 2: the seat of Courageong disavows violence after social media post
Speaker 2: surfaced where he said he wanted to quote effing killed
Speaker 2: politicians and send them to the Hague and hang them
Speaker 2: in the street because of the treatment of asylum seekers.
Speaker 2: Again repeat, if this was a center right party, could
Speaker 2: you imagine how dare you preference this part? That's no problem.
Speaker 2: He gets to continue past, go collect two hundred dollars
Speaker 2: fingers Cross become a member of the glorified local council
Speaker 2: in the act. Oh yeah, not the only one. What
Speaker 2: about this one? Green's candidate apologizes after door cam catches her,
Speaker 2: removing queens and Liberal pamphlets.
Speaker 1: I loved this footage.
Speaker 2: The footage shows Libs putting it under the door and
Speaker 2: then the Green turning up noticing the Liberals putting hers
Speaker 2: under the door and yanking it. No problem, nothing to
Speaker 2: see here. But if you think that's just small fright
Speaker 2: again same person. The ABC has revealed a twenty year
Speaker 2: old candidate in the electorate of Murrham Bidji wrote a
Speaker 2: blog post which you compared the terrorist figure September eleven
Speaker 2: mastermind to Jesus Christ. An Act Green spokesperson said the
Speaker 2: candidate's post was fiction and creative writing exercise.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, two candidates two in the Act.
Speaker 2: How can anyone vote for the rest of the Greens
Speaker 2: team who are fine with those people being those that
Speaker 2: make it up? Politicians should be hanging in the streets
Speaker 2: or Asama bin Laden and the masterminds of it are
Speaker 2: like Jesus Christ. Meantime, another if you think the current
Speaker 2: level of elected Greens are out there, what about the
Speaker 2: next level the young Greens that are coming through. The
Speaker 2: young Greens have said that it is legitimate to you
Speaker 2: attack MP's officers. Less than five percent of Australia agrees.
Speaker 1: With this position. I can show you the polls.
Speaker 2: Well, the news to US Greens, they showed this post
Speaker 2: of Peter Khalil, the Labor MP's office, being attacked because
Speaker 2: he's backing the wrong side in Israel. Gaza News of
Speaker 2: Wals Greens consider property damage as a legitimate form of
Speaker 2: non violent direct action. The News of the Walds the
Speaker 2: Young Greens acknowledge the long standing history of the Green
Speaker 2: supporting nonviolent direct action. Oh, because it's only property. I
Speaker 2: remember rememberhen Adam Ban said that when idiots were gluing
Speaker 2: themselves to parts of the Federal Parliament or setting things
Speaker 2: on file, and those baby carriages just property. Of course,
Speaker 2: if it's the property that they own, they'd go. No,
Speaker 2: it's if it's a property that the taxpayer owns, well whatever,
Speaker 2: there's just money on the credit card for that. All right, America,
Speaker 2: Let's go to Trump and Harris.
Speaker 1: Here latest, Betty.
Speaker 2: As we get close now less than three weeks, less
Speaker 2: than three weeks, we'll be in the States.
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to do between now and then.
Speaker 2: In fact, I think I literally have one day off
Speaker 2: in the next few weeks, and I'm very happy because
Speaker 2: we get to go everything from Tazzy this weekend with
Speaker 2: our town to Queensland for the election, and then over
Speaker 2: to the US bookies fifty five forty six in favor
Speaker 2: of Trump. They say, according to the money, that Trump
Speaker 2: wins Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, that she wins Michigan, she wins Nevada,
Speaker 2: she wins Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, he.
Speaker 2: Wins and he wins only just what about the polls
Speaker 2: going into this the third last week, Trump is winning
Speaker 2: the polls in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
Speaker 2: If that happens against more than three hundred electoral votes,
Speaker 2: he needs just two seventy to win.
Speaker 1: If people think on it, all could be wrong and
Speaker 1: Harris is fine.
Speaker 2: Let's compare. Harris nationally is up one point seven. Biden
Speaker 2: four years ago was up nine point two. Hillary is
Speaker 2: up six point seven and she lost.
Speaker 1: Johnson.
Speaker 2: She leads, but currently Trump leads in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada,
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Biden led by bigger margins, but
Speaker 2: the polling was off, and of course Clinton couldn't be
Speaker 2: more wrong in twenty sixteen. But before you think, oh
Speaker 2: well that's it home in host time to go and
Speaker 2: put the fight fight fight flag out the front, you
Speaker 2: need to know there are other people who look at
Speaker 2: poles and then they start to pull poles out of
Speaker 2: the average poles because they think they're two left wing
Speaker 2: or their two right wing. Generally speaking, I think they pull
Speaker 2: out too many right wing poles to get a result
Speaker 2: that's good for left wing five point thirty eight. Their
Speaker 2: data says Harris wins fifty four out of one hundred times.
Speaker 2: When you look at the data, Trump fifty six. I
Speaker 2: think this week, if the numbers keep going the way
Speaker 2: they do the Nate Silver version Nate Silver used to
Speaker 2: run five point thirty eight. Since then, they've changed some
Speaker 2: of their methodology. Harris fifty one percent chance of winning
Speaker 2: Trump forty eight percent. That should change this week if
Speaker 2: pols kept going the way that they are. Why because
Speaker 2: his belief is that she will win Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada.
Speaker 1: She holds onto all of that. She has the presidency.
Speaker 2: But apart from the data, apart from the money, let's
Speaker 2: just look at who you think is the winning campaign,
Speaker 2: the one who's booking Madison Square Garden in a state
Speaker 2: that they absolutely will not win, but still the Trump
Speaker 2: campaign wants it because it's an iconic venue. Do you
Speaker 2: think they're winning? Or the Harris campaign, who are putting
Speaker 2: out ads with blokes pretending to say, I'm a man
Speaker 2: and I'm a real man, and a real man cries,
Speaker 2: and a real man is a farmer, and a real
Speaker 2: man votes for Kamala Harris. Or Another sign that Harris
Speaker 2: is not where she wants to be is that she's
Speaker 2: now getting back into the mind games. They were successful
Speaker 2: at the debate when she was pushing him on crowd sizes,
Speaker 2: all the rest of it. He lost his brain. She
Speaker 2: won the debate. So this is what she said on
Speaker 2: television just yesterday.
Speaker 10: His staff won't let him do a sixty minutes interview.
Speaker 10: Every president for the last half century has done when
Speaker 10: anyone who's running for president, everyone has done it except
Speaker 10: Donald Trump. He will not debate me again. I put
Speaker 10: out my medical records. He won't put out his medical records.
Speaker 10: And you have to ask why is his staff doing that,
Speaker 10: And it may be because they think he's just not
Speaker 10: ready and unfit and unstable and should not have that
Speaker 10: level of transparency for the American people.
Speaker 1: All Right, Donald tam done Fulford.
Speaker 2: The reason he didn't do sixty minutes is because when
Speaker 2: he died four years ago, they said the Hunter Biden
Speaker 2: thing was a complete makeup of Russian disinformation, the medical
Speaker 2: records thing. Who cares as for the debate, well, of course,
Speaker 2: as the president problem President has said, the only reason
Speaker 2: you want to rematch is if you have lost.
Speaker 1: But the audea about medical records.
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris is aware of who her boss is and
Speaker 2: has been for the past four years. She is aware
Speaker 2: that she was part of the entire story that has
Speaker 2: never been explained about how long they knew that Biden
Speaker 2: was as cooked as he was, but they kept cheering
Speaker 2: him on, clapping him on and giving him a standing
Speaker 2: ovation as good old Yeah. Last thing we learned today
Speaker 2: is that Kamala Harris will be doing an interview this
Speaker 2: week Fox News. Brett Bell will be the one who'll
Speaker 2: be doing the interview. But she thinks this is a
Speaker 2: reaching into the lions den, and she's more courageous because
Speaker 2: Trump on't go into the other deck.
Speaker 1: Well, guess what Brett Bea is going to do?
Speaker 2: Ask her about how long did you know about Biden
Speaker 2: going to ask her about flip flopping all the stuff
Speaker 2: she's been afraid of, and she's crumbled when she has
Speaker 2: been asked by a friendly journalist. Too clever by half
Speaker 2: and starting to get desperate. The money, the polls, the
Speaker 2: data and always look at what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Plenty more to talk about here on Pulmorray Life.
Speaker 2: Very big few weeks ahead, Tassy this weekend, Queensland the
Speaker 2: next weekend, and then we're.
Speaker 1: Off to the US.
Speaker 2: Niger frags on the show tonight. We look forward to
Speaker 2: talk to him from London in a moment or two
Speaker 2: his time.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I explained that this weekend a show is going to
Speaker 2: be in Tasmania. That's because our town is coming from
Speaker 2: the beautiful city of lon System. We will be there
Speaker 2: on Sunday this Sunday. If you'd like to join, please
Speaker 2: send me an email ourtown at skynews dot com dot

Speaker 2: Dutton and a bunch of other people ahead of the
Speaker 2: Queensland election. That's just to get the attention on the
Speaker 2: lefties pubtest at skynews dot com dot au. That's going
Speaker 2: to be on the Wednesday, the twenty third, So Sunday
Speaker 2: in Tazzy This Sunday Ourtown at skynews dot com dot Au.
Speaker 2: Next Wednesday in Brizzy Pubtest at skynews dot com dot Au.
Speaker 2: Let's fill the room. I think we've got about a
Speaker 2: couple of dozen in boats, so let's fill a room
Speaker 2: by tonight. Holly Hughes Joe Hildebrand Love you to see
Speaker 2: you both. Joe's podcast, The Real Story is available for
Speaker 2: the no the player.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.
Speaker 2: Hello, So I'm got to ask you this question all
Speaker 2: right last week. Yeah, we're pushing it uphill, telling us
Speaker 2: that the Turett's see nothing to see Okay, okay, Prime Minister,
Speaker 2: cost of living, housing, all the rest of it. On
Speaker 2: a day when food Bank comes out and says three
Speaker 2: and a bit million people, Food Insecurity decides that's the
Speaker 2: day four point three million dollars. Not for the house
Speaker 2: he's planning to move him to because he's about to
Speaker 2: finish up, but it's a place he's going to rent
Speaker 2: out because Jodie's a coasting Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, I got nothing good. It's terrible.
Speaker 11: I'm looking allowed to buy whatever house. You know, I
Speaker 11: had assumed that this was something he was going to
Speaker 11: do at the end finished. I mean, he's already got
Speaker 11: two pretty nice houses that he was going to do
Speaker 11: after And it's just a terrible look. I can understand.
Speaker 11: I think he's in a bit of a love bubble
Speaker 11: or whatever, but it's a it's an awful look. I
Speaker 11: don't know anyone who thinks it's anything but just an
Speaker 11: awful look.
Speaker 1: I've got.
Speaker 11: You know, my wife is just like, what the what
Speaker 11: is he?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, it's not my fault. And
Speaker 1: labor p labor people. I've spoken and were just going,
Speaker 1: what the actual and look?
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that he throws the toys out of
Speaker 2: the cot and gets the Harry hits if.
Speaker 1: You say things like that.
Speaker 2: But the reality is, when you are somebody who is
Speaker 2: looking for all the ways to look for the positive,
Speaker 2: and we all know I've been there with certain prime ministers,
Speaker 2: there has to be moments where you turn around and go, no, sorry,
Speaker 2: and better man you than I for being able to
Speaker 2: say that about something like this, Holly, again, for all
Speaker 2: the stated reasons right now, again, is he allowed to
Speaker 2: do this? Sure? Right, but he's not about to leave.
Speaker 2: He's got two taxpayer funded homes. So it's just because
Speaker 2: he can. So does he have a death wish? Or
Speaker 2: is he so full of himself that nothing touches him?
Speaker 2: You know, I am, I am nothing but sort of
Speaker 2: you know, slippery surfaces built on top of slippery surfaces, teflon,
Speaker 2: there we go.
Speaker 5: Look, I just when I read it this morning, just
Speaker 5: could not believe it. I mean, it is just completely
Speaker 5: and utterly tone death. I mean, he's entitled to buy hope,
Speaker 5: can afford it great, you know, that's whatever, that's his prerogative.
Speaker 5: But when you are the prime minister of the country
Speaker 5: who promised to cheaper, more wages, cheaper cost of living,
Speaker 5: cheaper everything else that was going to be great, two
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five dollars off your power bills, none
Speaker 5: of which has eventuated. In fact, it has gone so
Speaker 5: far in the other direction as you've been sharing, the
Speaker 5: food bank, research, the food insecurity. I mean, this government
Speaker 5: has managed to generate a working poor, something we've fundamentally
Speaker 5: never really had before. This government, in a very short
Speaker 5: period of time, has managed to create a new class
Speaker 5: of Australians. And the fact that he is out there,
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't afford a four point three million
Speaker 5: dollar home. In fact, I don't even think I could
Speaker 5: afford the rent from the four point three million dollar home.
Speaker 5: But I mean, you know, he's bought in an area
Speaker 5: at the Central Coast, and I look after a lot
Speaker 5: of that region as part of my duty. Seats there
Speaker 5: are people living in caravans up there because they cannot
Speaker 5: find rental properties. Now, I'm pretty sure this isn't going
Speaker 5: to go on as an affordable rental. Pretty sure someone
Speaker 5: who's on a teacher and a policeman's wages aren't going
Speaker 5: to be able to afford the rent that's being asked
Speaker 5: on this let alone, if it's going to be an
Speaker 5: Airbnb short stay rental, because that'll be a kicker. But
Speaker 5: then we'll find out as well whether or not it's
Speaker 5: negatively geared, and whether it's being used as a tax deduction,
Speaker 5: because I'm assuming there'll be a mortgage on it, whether
Speaker 5: or not it's geared so that the rental payments will
Speaker 5: cover that. I mean, it is so tone deaf. It
Speaker 5: is an insult I think to every Australian. And the
Speaker 5: fact that you know he acknowledges that he's on a
Speaker 5: good wicket now, but still tries to tie it back
Speaker 5: to his mother, who lives in social housing her whole life.
Speaker 5: No one is extraordinary, extraordinary, it's going to be.
Speaker 1: Look, you know, I've got it now.
Speaker 11: He's just showing how many days on board with Aspirational
Speaker 11: Australia and he's putting his body. That's what it negative gear.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: I've actually been thinking about you all day, Joe, wondering
Speaker 5: how we were going to deal with this tonight because.
Speaker 1: I thought how he all right?
Speaker 2: Okay, so I want quick hits on both of you
Speaker 2: because I went along at the start.
Speaker 1: But I want to make most of this year when.
Speaker 2: I was in queens any if you have a look
Speaker 2: for whose names on the tinder.
Speaker 1: Now, give me an idea here, Joe, where can you
Speaker 1: buy an election?
Speaker 2: I was in Queensland on the sheer base of advertising alone.
Speaker 2: Labour's writing it right like right in there. Okay, we
Speaker 2: know that they're sort of going out the back door.
Speaker 2: But for people who half pay attention only said the
Speaker 2: billboard all of these things, right, I don't know. Simple question,
Speaker 2: can you buy an election? Because they're really trying.
Speaker 11: You can and the Teals have done it, but there's
Speaker 11: nothing like there's no amount of money that labor can
Speaker 11: throw at this election, and indeed it's making the sort
Speaker 11: of promises that it makes. And you see with governments
Speaker 11: in their death throws after they've won one term too many,
Speaker 11: where they make promises that they know they cannot keep,
Speaker 11: and they make them on that basis, they propose things
Speaker 11: that are so expensive, so out there, so crazy that
Speaker 11: they know they'll never be held account for them. This
Speaker 11: is just this furniture saving exercise appearance important.
Speaker 2: And Kamala Harris going on Fox News ultimate sign of
Speaker 2: strength or a little bit of a sign of panic, Holly.
Speaker 5: I think it's absolute desperation and it's actually extraordinary. I
Speaker 5: think you're right. I think I'm going to ask a
Speaker 5: hard question. She hasn't been able to coherently answer anything
Speaker 5: when it's been softball questions to her, to the point
Speaker 5: that they've had to edit her answers together to try
Speaker 5: and make them into a sentence. I actually think this
Speaker 5: will be better to watch than the debate. I think
Speaker 5: this could be an absolute cracker and bring it on.
Speaker 2: I love you, Holly, thank you very much, Love you, Joe,
Speaker 2: love you all, Love you all.
Speaker 1: See you next week. You see you. We all end
Speaker 1: of lovely. That's the word should be cuddles for everyone.
Speaker 1: I don't know Nigel's a huggable.
Speaker 2: We'll find out straight after the break You're on Paul
Speaker 2: Murray Life. Nigel Farah one of the great freedom fighters,
Speaker 2: a man who, just like myself, is hopefully get nervous
Speaker 2: of what might be coming in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Of course you can see him on GBN News. You
Speaker 2: can see him in the Reform Party in the UK Parliament. Nigel,
Speaker 2: I look at one set of data, it all feels
Speaker 2: like twenty sixteen all over again. I look at another
Speaker 2: set of data and go, yeah, but are you obsessively
Speaker 2: looking into the this and the that of it all?
Speaker 2: Or you've just got to go with your gut and
Speaker 2: you know, the sense of things remains as strong as
Speaker 2: it did for Trump six months ago.
Speaker 6: Well, the important point to make is that Harris, after
Speaker 6: this initial honeymoon rather false honeymoon, I should say, created
Speaker 6: by the press, that's all gone. Her performance on sixty
Speaker 6: minutes was abjacks. Now, you know, let's see how you
Speaker 6: get some old Fox news is Trump is leading in
Speaker 6: all of the key swing states of that there is
Speaker 6: no doubt. However, however, the leads are so small in
Speaker 6: three or four of them we're talking one one and
Speaker 6: a half max two percent, that it is within the
Speaker 6: margin of error. So I still if you put me
Speaker 6: up against the wall, I'm going to say Trump wins.
Speaker 6: But goodness me, this is going to be very very tight.
Speaker 6: I've got this funny hun ship might all come down
Speaker 6: to Pennsylvania. We won't find out for about four days here.
Speaker 2: Well, you're right, right, which is that no matter whether
Speaker 2: it was a mailing vote or an early vote, they
Speaker 2: can't count anything until election day, and even then there
Speaker 2: are restrictions about whether it's when the polls close. So
Speaker 2: imagine all of it at once. Yes, it wouldn't be
Speaker 2: nice if, just like in the UK, they just count
Speaker 2: till dawn. Instead, they sort of stop in the middle
Speaker 2: of the night and we'll see. At least it's not
Speaker 2: like Australia. Well, where we vote on Saturday, they take
Speaker 2: Sunday off for counting and they get round again on Monday.
Speaker 6: I know France is the best country in the world
Speaker 6: at this, and it's not often I recommend France, but
Speaker 6: they are the best at They are the best at this.
Speaker 6: They don't allow early voting, no postal voting unless you've
Speaker 6: got a reasonably good reason. You turn up, you show
Speaker 6: id right, you go into a private booth with a
Speaker 6: pencil and a piece of paper. The votes are empted
Speaker 6: before everybody counting agents can watch. They have a result
Speaker 6: within four hours of the election. The French have got
Speaker 6: this right. There are never any accusations of fraud or
Speaker 6: jiggery pokery of any kind of tool. We should all
Speaker 6: do it the way the French.
Speaker 2: Do correct, correct, I can sit down on a T
Speaker 2: shirt sometimes soon Nigel for us. Let's all do it
Speaker 2: the way the French do it all right now, they're
Speaker 2: King Charles and King Charles coming here in the next
Speaker 2: little while. I just can't believe that our state leaders,
Speaker 2: the premier, so many of them have basically said, sorry, something.
Speaker 1: Else to do.
Speaker 2: These people would turn up if, as they have big
Speaker 2: international star is turning up to play rock concert, being
Speaker 2: international star is turning up to entertain at the football.
Speaker 2: Surely you can turn up for the head of the Commonwealth.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, regardless of your political view on
Speaker 6: the future constitutional status of Australia. And yeah, you know
Speaker 6: there are those that you would much rather have you
Speaker 6: as a sort of rather dreary republic. But that's fine,
Speaker 6: that's your choice not to turn up, not to turn
Speaker 6: up for the head of a commonwealth, the head of state.
Speaker 6: It's just damned rude. And for Australia, for Australian politicians
Speaker 6: to be treating your closest ally in the world, people
Speaker 6: with whom you know, many many millions of your country
Speaker 6: are directly related. I can't think of a bigger, more
Speaker 6: churlish insult than just for all of them not to
Speaker 6: turn up. I honestly, and perhaps you think I'm standing
Speaker 6: a bit stuffy in English, it's dreadful.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm completely with you, because a bad from
Speaker 2: anything else. Right, not only are you guaranteed the invite,
Speaker 2: not only are you guaranteed to sit in the front row,
Speaker 2: you're guaranteed you're going to meet him. Okay, it's not like, hey,
Speaker 2: come along and look, maybe you'll set up the back
Speaker 2: of the bust and eventually we'll get to you. Right,
Speaker 2: so you know there's going to be an interpersonal moment. Surely,
Speaker 2: at the very least curiosity about a world figure. But
Speaker 2: as you say, the obvious connections of family and the
Speaker 2: system of government. Like as I said, they would turn
Speaker 2: up to the head of insert church.
Speaker 1: Or the head of insert lobby.
Speaker 2: Group, the King of the Commonwealth who has a direct
Speaker 2: collection to the governor who swears you in when you
Speaker 2: win an election.
Speaker 6: Yeah you turn up, yeah, yeah. Honestly, I don't know
Speaker 6: what they're thinking. I don't know why. But it's funny,
Speaker 6: isn't it. Because we saw this with the voice referendum.
Speaker 6: We saw this with the monarchy referendum twenty five years ago.
Speaker 6: It's a very strange thing. Often political leaders are out
Speaker 6: of touch with their own electorate. And I bet if
Speaker 6: we did an opinion poll in Australia right now as
Speaker 6: to whether they should turn up overwhelming ority would say
Speaker 6: as a matter of common courtesy, if nothing else, they
Speaker 6: should be that well.
Speaker 2: If there is an enterprising news organization, I hope they
Speaker 2: do so, and do so soon. Alas, the only responsibility
