32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: started going down. Tommy, So you need to time this perfectly,

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: but you need to think about it. Do you haven't

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: the ultimate karaoke song that the pirtees get out at

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,320

00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: That Hey, did you hear about? John bon Jovi rocked

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: up for a gig the other night, Dom and everyone

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: was in the crowd ready to go. He had a

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: COVID test just before and he tested positive.

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: I heard, I heard so good. Yeah, it's all right.

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: He was all right.

44
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: He was fine, He's fine. But that is the song

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: you need to come in and sing. Let's talk about

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: what's going on in your world in the city of

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: New South Wales or Sydney. Can we ask have you

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: spoken to Gladys in recent times? I mean, is there

49
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: a process of exchanging notes? I mean, I know you

50
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: were cross across everything behind the scenes when she was

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: in power. But how far does that handover go.

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Oh look, we're very close and obviously he's a former

53
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: treasurer where you work very closer together, particularly for the

54
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: last five years and through the entire pandemic. So we

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: spoke in a number of times since that point. But yeah,

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: she's really you know. The point she hates to me

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: actually when when the change you courred was I'm not

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: going to bother you and give you free advice like

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: former premiers gave me. Yes, but if you ever need,

60
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: if you ever want any advice, just pick up the

61
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 2: phone and arc and I've already done that a couple

62
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: of times. So that's very the way Gladdus is and

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: very much appreciated because it's tough job and it's always

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: good to learn from those who've gone before you.

65
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: You're always supportive of Gladys. But you know what, you know,

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: everyone chases the top job. When you get that and

67
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 3: you become premiere, obviously you focus on that. I wouldn't

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: probably think about having my seventh child. Dominique, congratulations first

69
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: of all, but how does can you just give us

70
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 3: a bit of a snapshot of home life. When you

71
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: actually get home, do you get any sleep at all?

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's hard. You don't get much. You don't get

73
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: much that there's nothing better in life, guys than waking

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: up at three o'clock in the morning with some kid

75
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: that's jumped on your head. But particularly as well after

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: you've probably been in Parliament, you know, till ten o'clock

77
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: the night before, debating something like the payroll taxmendent, Payroll

78
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Tax Waiver Bill and all those entertaining items that come

79
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: before the parliament. Look, it keeps you grounded, and you

80
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: know when you come home, the kids yelling at you

81
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: as soon as you come in the door. Give you

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: a bit of respective. There's not much between that Mparliament.

83
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Tommy, can I ask we had a quick turnaround on

84
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: our kids one to two. I think the turnaround is

85
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: a about sixteen months. And Jack was a wonderful surprise

86
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: for everybody. Apparently it was my fault. Was the seventh

87
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: that Helen and yourself were expecting. Was that a surprise

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: made or was that something planned?

89
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: Or it was a surprise? Itat better grade the best,

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: A little bit like your job. Everything's been a bit

91
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: of a surprise.

92
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: Of season through his teeth.

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: It's an adjustment. But the actually our kids had been

94
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: saying they wanted another sister, and we'll be having another

95
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: daughter and so Paul little William will be my only

96
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: son of seven.

97
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

98
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: Book will become very close.

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 4: Go well, hey, Premier, can I ask you a work question.

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: The other day you were talking and this is really

101
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: I think important to a lot of people in your

102
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: south ees because of real estate prices that you're really

103
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: hard and getting rid of stamp Judy, how likely do

104
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: you think that is?

105
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: Well, I want to get rid of it. It's a

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: challenging It was the worst tax and its attack that

107
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: really hinders particularly young people getting into the property market,

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 2: and in Sydney, as you know, by the time people

109
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: save up for their deposit, they're just getting further and

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: further behind. So it's something that's treasure that I always

111
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: wanted to address. I'm working through that policy at the moment,

112
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: but we've issued a number of consultations and progress reports.

113
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: It's obviously a significant revenue to the state, so it's

114
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: money from stamp due to that pays for schools and hospitals.

115
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: But ultimately we can move to a better system that

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: gets people into the housing market. That would be a

117
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: great thing for our state.

118
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: Time to put you under the pressure, Premiere, because we

119
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: also heard that there is a secret plan to introduce

120
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: a two ways holding on the Sydney Harbor Bridge. You

121
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you didn't say yes to that in Parliament yesterday,

122
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: but you know, can you polished that now? Can you

123
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: say that or is that on the table?

124
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: Well, I except the government's got no plans to do that.

125
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: This is this is a this is an issue that

126
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: comes through as we're building the Western Harbor Tunnel. We

127
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: will connect into West Connects and so when you build

128
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: that tunnel northbound, what you don't want to have is

129
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: a rat run across across the Harbor Bridge causing substantive congestions.

130
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: So the government hasn't got any plans to do that.

131
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: It's a challenge we're looking at as we build all

132
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: the roads across across Sydney. But you know that's that's

133
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: that was a report that later had yesterday's Transport But

134
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: ultimately it's the it's the elected officials that make those decisions.

135
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: So we're working through it. We haven't made a decision

136
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to respond to a scare campaign

137
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: on questions and I've just got to work through it

138
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: with my transport minister and get the best system in

139
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: place that obviously puts downward pressure on the cost of living,

140
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: because we know tolls are a pain for everybody, but

141
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: they're kind of in many ways necessary evil. But we

142
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we build, we continue to

143
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: build the public transport system and the road networks so

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: people get home to their families faster.

145
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Dominic, we have our own transport minister here in the studio.

146
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: He's here our executive producer, Thomas Bryan Ivy. Thomas in

147
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: charge of putting together what we're calling at the moment,

148
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: the pub Tour. We haven't signed off on a name,

149
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: but now that things are opened, we read a story

150
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: about a guy in the UK He did fifty one

151
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: pubs in twenty four hours, so we thought possibly next

152
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Friday we might try and hit as many pubs as

153
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: possible in a twenty four hour period. Is there Firstly,

154
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: we're open to name suggestions for this tour, but also

155
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: is there a favorite pub that your think's worth visiting?

156
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: But I love the Dudley or Dudley good choice cracking pub.

157
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: So if you can get if you can get there,
