This is called Murray Live out town. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:09.360 Can i Estadi. 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:11.719 Welcome the Queensland. Welcome Ogregor. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:16.320 Hello everyone, we are here at the Glen Hotel. Thank 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.920 you so much to everyone for being here. I love Queensland. 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.000 Thank you very much. This is magnificent. We spent plenty 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.160 of time up the road in central Brisbane, but we're 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.400 all about celebrating not just this area but the great state. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.040 We had plenty of fun. We apologized to no one 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.239 for having fun and this is a magnificent venue. If 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:35.920 you ever get the chance to be in this part 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.000 of the world, you will enjoy every second of being 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.080 here the Glen Hotel. It feels like it grows by 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.400 the kilometer every minute. It's bigger and badder and more 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.120 amazing than ever before. Looking forward to it. Got some 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.319 special guests on the program, including the bloke that may 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.479 will be the next Premier of New South Wire and 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:57.080 New South Wales of Queensland. How did I do that? 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.360 I've just peeked at the boss and he doing this. 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.640 Oh no, will I fail my Queensland Citizen Chip test? 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.399 Later perhaps, But David Christophili is here tonight along with 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:12.039 a wonderful Amanda Scotia. We will talk to the participants 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.120 in the Harvey Norman Women's State of Origin, which of 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.840 course Queensland wrapped up. I thought you might be excited. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.440 I thought you might be happy. We'll talk about politics 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:21.840 and a whole lot more in a moment of course. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.280 Being in Queensland, we can't but send our strength and 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.520 love to everyone and all the families and all the 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.000 communities involved in a horrible bus crash which has taken 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.800 place in the past twenty four hours. It took place 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.480 between Bowen and Townsville. Sadly, three people have lost their lives. 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.000 At this stage four people are in a critical condition 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.600 the Bruce Highway. We don't know whether it's anything to 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.399 do with conditions of road, but certainly there was issues 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.080 involving caravans, a whole collection of problems if you know 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.240 that part of the world for the driving. But strength 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.160 and love to everyone, all the families and everyone involved. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.400 And here's the latest from police in Queensland. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.480 The traffic crush has involved two vehicles, A four wall 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.200 drive telling a caravan was adding in a outcound direction 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.560 on the Bruce Highway and our bus was traveling in 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:09.320 a northbound direction. There's been a collision between those two vehicles, 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:15.320 very significant impact and very significant consequences. I can confirm 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.800 that there were thirty three people on board the bus 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.799 at the time. Unfortunately, three of those people are currently deceased. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.280 We've had a number of people that have been treated 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.440 at the scene for injuries. Some of those people have 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.519 been taken to Air Hospital and Townsville Hospital, and I 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.560 can confirm that one person has been airlifted due to 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:37.919 the significance of the injuries. 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.480 Well, we're infro on the Coury of Mars website or 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.440 if it's of course, it's got News dot com dot AU. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.600 Do you have any Donald Trump fans in the room 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:50.160 here this evening? Any Joe Biden fans in the room? 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:51.040 Yeah? 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.799 I thought so. How did that debate go? Roll the tape? 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.480 No incumbent has average done as poorly as Joe Biden did. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.520 I've been talking to a lot of leaders in the 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:11.480 Democratic Party Elected's coalition leaders. There's a full on panic 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:12.639 about this performance. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.119 From a Democratic point of view, this was an unmitigated disaster. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.200 So it went really well for Joe. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.600 Did you mean all those videos of the dude who 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:29.040 can't walk or speak, or walk or speak, couldn't walk 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.959 or speak, but this time on a national level. Now 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.720 there was a special little detail for those that were 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.320 watching along with the debate. And if you didn't get 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:38.840 the chance, I hope you go and check out the 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.560 video of myself and the beautiful Persian Princess Rita panehe 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.600 watching in real time the political death of Joe Biden. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:53.400 Here's us being very sensitive. I've seen your swing. I 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:58.280 know you sing. Let's not act like chill. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.200 I'm one murderer, course, but that's happening right now, my tea. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.280 He chose to be on the right hand. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:08.760 Side of the TV. 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.200 Didn't that help today? 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:10.680 Yeah? 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.720 He could be wield it this way as opposed to 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:21.480 look at you wild it that way. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.560 Let's just let's just stop this finish. Here's your full an. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.840 Elephant and yeah, yeah, you two were bloody. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:36.000 Horror Bye bye Joe. That just in case I haven't 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.880 made the point clear enough for the people at media watch, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.120 you'll be watching us tonight for our reaction to what happened. 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:47.360 Here's Joe Biden melting down in front of the entire world, unedited. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.400 The idea that states are able to do. This is 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.839 a little lake saying we're going to turn civil rights 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:54.600 back to the stage. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.360 Let each state have a different rule. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.400 Look, there's so many young women who have been including 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.880 a young woman who just was murdered and he went 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.880 to the funeral, the idea that she was murdered by 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.680 an immigrant coming in and they talk about that. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:19.160 Uh, is it over? I think it might be over 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:24.240 for a little old Joe. Bye bye Brandon, Bye bye Brandon. Well, 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.640 as you know, the media freakout that happened as a 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.919 result of this has brought forward what we all knew, 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.039 which was that the guy is not up to it 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.560 in terms of running for the presidency. But probably more 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.760 frightening for the world is that he's not up to 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:41.479 it to run the free world between now and January. Right, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.080 that's the concerns, that's our worry, Right, Yeah, this is 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.480 the whole. It's not just the debate, it's the being president. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.800 Bid Well, I've got some kind of breaking news for 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.280 you tonight, which is Camp David. Now, this is the 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.760 place where presidents go to have a retreat or in 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:01.360 Joe's case, prepare for that debate for a week. That's 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.960 also the place where Middle East peace talks happen. It's 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.679 kind of like the most privately private, private spot for 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.160 a president to go. He has gone back to Camp 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.240 David Sunday morning, American time. He will be meeting with 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:20.880 his family today. The conversation will happen today about whether 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.320 or not he continues. Now we know that Jill, who's 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.719 sort of the full puppet and doing the whole thing, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.320 doesn't want to give up. We know Hunter will probably 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:37.240 be high. But eventually they will start to have the 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.320 real conversation. And all the pressure is coming from the 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:45.040 Obama people, from the Clinton people, from what is kind 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.760 of left in Biden world. Now, who knows. By the 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.760 end of this, they could say We're going to punch on, 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.000 But the likelihood of them punching on seems pretty low 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.400 right now. In fact, NBC is reporting that, yeah, they 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.600 are there right now that they are having that discussion. Obviously, 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.159 if you just follow the pattern of news generally speaking, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.200 you don't go behind the closed doors to say everything 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.359 is awesome. You try to do that. They did that 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.200 the other day. It didn't work. So one thing that 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.400 is also extraordinary to watch is that all of the 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.400 media that has been flat out lying to you that 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.360 Biden is fine. He's the sharpest attack, he's the smartest 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:29.160 he's ever been. He's playing four D chess while skateboarding, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.520 you know, like come on. They of course are now 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.080 saying see you later. This, of course, is the headline 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.240 of the New York Times, the preferred paper of the 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.520 super lefty, and they have said it's time to go 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.400 all the TV, all the rest of it. But something 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.080 you need to understand here about how massive this is, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.800 apart from just the obvious sense of a president saying 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.400 he doesn't want to go around again. The last time 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.920 that happened was LBJ in nineteen sixty eight, and LBJ 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.040 of course decided not to run again because of the 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.120 circumstances in and around the Vietnam War. Now we've seen 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.000 Carter Trump, we've seen presidents being defeated, but we haven't 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.280 seen presidents, for want of a better term, giving up. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.760 The idea that that would happen is incredibly impactful, not 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.880 just for history, but it also gives us an idea 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.520 about Joe Biden's decision making process. Because Joe Biden, since 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.840 the very start of his presidency, has been having meetings, 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.480 I mean literally white House meetings every two weeks with 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:36.720 White House historians, with presidential historians. He is acutely aware 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.400 of his place in history. Now, his place for the 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.120 Democratic Party is he's the guy who slayed the dragon 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.560 that is Trump. But to know that he will be 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.080 a trivia question in years going forward in pub trivia, 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.600 named the most recent president to give up will be 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.200 one of those things they're going to talk about in 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.600 the room today. So if you don't see an immediate 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.400 piece of news coming out today, that will be the 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:05.720 chief and principal reason why. So let's imagine that he decides, 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.760 I'm going to step out of the way. How do 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:13.319 we feel about President Kamala Harris? Yeah, funny you mentioned 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.600 that because an opinion poll of the vice president. Now, 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.840 remember president goes, vice president steps up. When it was Nixon, 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.640 I am not a crook jumping into the helicopter. Of course, 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.440 it was Ford, his vice president, who became the president. When, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.760 of course Kennedy was assassinated, it was LBJ who becomes 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.400 the president. This is the obvious. The entire point of 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.800 the vice president is to be the in case they 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.040 die person, But that person elicits that reaction in this 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.400 room and it is no different with the American voter. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.560 In fact, you know I love to show you and 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.439 bore you with the data, So let's bore you with 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.240 some data. People, Kamala Harris. According to the latest polls 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.839 taken this year, if you have a look at the 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.160 screen here in Brisbane, or obviously already watching the screen 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.320 because you're watching Telly at home, but still you'll see there, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.360 if it's not Joe Biden, who should have be Kamala Harris, 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.920 less than a quarter of all voters. Okay, not just 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.280 Democratic voters, all voters. Now we keep being told that, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.480 of course seventy percent of people don't want either of 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.440 these chances. Well, if the one next in line is 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.680 it a quarter of the vote, you can start to 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.440 see how it completely melts away. So you're not the 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.360 only one who doesn't know who Gavin Newsom is. How 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.800 people watching Sky News, people here in the room will 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.040 know who Gavin probably is. But of course he's the 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.880 governor of California. This bloke is the used car salesman 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.319 of all used car salesman. Like, look at the hair, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.840 look at the shirt, look at the I've done nothing wrong, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:40.600 Hello ladies, and hello fellas because it's twenty twenty four, right, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.599 Like he's a rock and roll kind of guy. The 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.920 only problem is he, of course represents a state where 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.240 it feels like there's more homeless people than people with 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.040 homes in California. Good like taking that around the world. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.760 Then there's a lady called Gretchen Whitner. Gretchen Whitner is 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.920 a governor. She's the governor of one of the states 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.800 that is a swing state, Michigan governor. The problem is 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.880 she's the one who during COVID literally told people what 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.800 aisles of the shopping center you could go down. She 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.959 banned the purchase of seeds for some reason that was 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.960 going to stop the wooflu but who knew that was 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.520 how we were going to get on top of it. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.079 So she, of course is somebody who swing state, progressive woman, 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.080 all the rest of it. But I now want to 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.240 show you another bit of Poland which came out this 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:34.800 year about Joe Biden, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom and Harris 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.400 Can we drop the strap because I want to explain 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.040 to everyone there that Joe Biden on the left hand 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.760 side is losing to Donald Trump. Kamala Harris loses to 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:48.400 Donald Trump, Gavin Newsom gets smashed by Donald Trump, and 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.880 Gretchen Whitmer also would get smashed by Donald Trump. But 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.640 before we feel too smug, before we all feel like 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.840 a bunch of hillaries in twenty sixteen, that this thing 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.839 is already in the bay and is done. One more 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.080 piece of data, which is this when you have a 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.800 look at the popularity of both Trump and Biden going 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.160 into the debate and coming out of the debate, they 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:18.280 were hated by basically the same amount of people one 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:23.120 hour after one collapsed and one trumped for an hour. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.600 So you have a scenario here where the Democrats think, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.320 if it's a new face, all of that polling that 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.760 says anyone but Trump or Biden would automatically reset the 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.560 race and they would be able to potentially put the 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.960 ball over the line and it would become a potentially 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.000 easy victory. So you have people like Nicky Haley. Now 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.520 remember about twenty percent of Republicans have turned around and 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.200 they actually voted for Nicky Haley even when she wasn't 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.840 running anymore against Donald Trump. Would those people go across 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.400 to the new face and Trump would end up in 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.400 a scenario where he's got forty five and the other 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.679 person's got forty six, forty seven. Not as smug as 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.920 we were about five minutes ago. We were starting to 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:07.440 see what potentially could be happening now also still to 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.640 come in this presidential election. Donald Trump is being sentenced 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:16.280 on the eleventh of July. He could be sent to jail, 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.120 not kind of jail, not maybe jail, actual jail, and 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.199 have to go on that day now to be good 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.960 for message discipline. If he went quiet for about thirty days, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.760 perhaps you can't make any mistakes when nobody's talking to you. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.840 But if he goes into house arrest, does that feel weird? 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.720 Does that change the race? So the whole point of 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.920 saying everything that I've just said is that we all 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.920 feel exactly the same about the debate that we watched 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:44.000 on Friday. We saw the presidential run of Joe Biden 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.120 turned to dust. Joe Biden may arrogantly find a way 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:52.160 to just keep on going and he'll probably lose. But 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.520 let's be careful what we wish for. If that actually happens, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.520 that the replacement, if it's not Kamala Harris, could reset 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.640 the race, and then Donald Trump becomes the problem, not 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.760 Joe Biden. Now you may have noticed that the greatest 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.240 Prime Minister of all time is Anthony Abernezi. You'd agree, Oh, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.160 come on, he's amazing. Have you seen his Twitter feed? 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.160 It's full of celebrities and selfies. He's very good. Well, 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.400 as you know, on this program, we spent the entire 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.520 production budget on this graphic, which was each way albow right, 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.240 because how often does he say one thing? Does he 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.320 do another? Does he argue on Monday change his opinion 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.720 a couple of days? So ladies and gentlemen here get 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.040 ready for each way albow fatima addition, because you may 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.040 well be aware that there was the senator from Western Australia, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.600 typical millennial who joins an organization only to want to 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.960 change it from within. But fair enough, that's a generational thing. 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.040 We'll talk about it another time. Now, as we know, oh, 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.960 the shock, the horror, because she voted against her own party, 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.800 against her own government, the first person to do so 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:03.520 against the Labor from the Labor Party since nineteen eighty eight. Now, 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.960 as you know, when this actually happened, the first thing 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.000 the Prime Minister did was pick up the phone and 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.440 ring the media and say, you know, technically we don't 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.320 actually have to give her any sort of a punishment whatsoever, 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.160 kind of like the way I deal with my youngest daughter. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.440 But you get the point right. Well, of course, as 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.800 you know, that didn't quite work, because he ended up 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:28.080 turning around and delivering a very heavy sentence of you 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.800 don't have to come to a meeting for one week. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.000 I mean, this was big, This was I mean, this 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.160 is I mean when you are talking of Tony Abbott 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.520 wanted to shirt front putin. She's this bloke is willing 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.480 to throw a lettuce leaf at a senator like this 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.160 is tough, right, this guy's right up there. Well, as 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.720 you'll have heard today, the senator in question went on 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.240 to Channel two. So this is a home game. Yet 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.880 even when you're playing a home game, it doesn't work. 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.480 Just ask Joe Biden. Because of course she says, I'll 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:54.440 cross the floor again. 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.240 It's the same motion on recognizing the state of Palestine 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:00.920 was to be bought for tomorrow. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:02.000 I would cross the floor. 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:08.440 You would cross the floor again. So Prime Minister calls 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.400 are over for a quick little chat at the lodge. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.440 Here's Toto. Did I mention that my mum was single 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.280 mother and I was from housing commit twenty minutes later 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.840 then of course there was the decision you are indefinitely 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.040 booted out, which means, of course the Greens will continue 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.400 to have their fun and they will do so again 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.760 tomorrow and just before we get to celebrating Queensland, tomorrow's 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.440 a big day for all Australians. Do everyone here in McGregor, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680 in Brisbane and at home? Are you ready for cost 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.240 of living to end tomorrow? I mean there is, I 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.200 mean there's a lot coming your way. Guys, Like, if 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.960 you're lucky enough, you might be able to get somewhere 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:47.000 between forty five thousand dollars a year, gets fifteen dollars 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.640 a week. That'll solve the problem. Don't forget everyone who's 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.560 watching us in both a mansion and a granny flat. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.200 You're getting twenty five dollars a month with your power 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.480 bill plus one thousand dollars from Stephen Miles right ps 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.560 Queen's will thee thousand dollars power bill give away from 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.440 the Queensland Government change your vote later this year you're 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.600 going to kind of take the money and run. I 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.240 thought that might be the case, all right now, beautiful Brisbane. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.600 We had the chance to be able to celebrate at 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.000 muck around a little bit earlier this weekend. It is 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.360 a magnificent place and the idea that it's winter here please. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.680 In a couple of weeks the world will care about Paris. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.400 Four years later it will be Los Angeles, and then 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.119 in twenty thirty two it is beautiful Brisbane. You know 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:45.960 how much I love Queensland and I love this city. 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.239 The city has changed so much over the years, and 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.639 in my view, always for the better, but it still 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.720 has awesome things from the eighties, unbelievable stuff from the nineties, 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.480 little alley ways that feel like they're out of places 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.119 like Melbourne. But this is this that is open to 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:09.560 anyone every day. And the best way to get around Brisbane, 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:14.560 believe me, isn't a car or a ferry. 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:27.200 It's one of these scooters. 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.960 You know, I love everything about this country, but I 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:46.960 really love Queensland. And after a hard day of scootering, 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.639 it's time for some lunch by the river at the 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:54.159 amazing Brisbane Powerhouse with the sensational people of mary May's 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:55.280 Bar and Kitchen. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.520 My friends. 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:09.800 Had of course, if you truly want the experience of 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:11.840 the East Scooter in Brisbane, you have to throw it 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.000 into the Brisbane River at the end of the experience. 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.480 Not a lot of people love them if you live here, 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.119 but they're great if you come here. All right, The 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.840 wonderful Amanda Smoker is here, you know, of course from 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.200 a time here at Sky News the Federal Parliament before that, 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.440 Taylor Huller's with her as well. Both that candidates for 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.520 the on P at the upcoming election. Give them around, applause, ladies, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.320 love and see you nice. 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:32.360 So we'll get to. 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:35.560 A whole bunch of issues in a second. But a 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.280 management wasn't since seen you on the tilly. How are 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:38.880 you feeling? How are you going good? 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:39.760 It's good to be with you. 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.280 Are you Are you enjoying being back on the hustings. 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.160 I'm loving it. It's really good. 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.920 Howzard door knocking going? Do people sort of oh, yeah, 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.080 are you? And then into the issues. 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.760 It's always a love encouragement when people know a little 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.199 bit about you before you arrive. But most of them 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:55.760 are in a bit of heartache and they're in a 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:57.560 bit of pain. You know, they've got a government that's 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.320 not really serving them well, and so. 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.560 They've got a lot of sha So Taylor, you're doing 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:03.200 so in this part of the world. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:04.320 Yes, this is my past. 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:06.840 When you go, when you talk to people here around McGregor, 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.320 around this area, what are the types of things that 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.800 they talk to you about being the problems here in this. 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.960 Bit of quick Look, So in my area, my local 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.640 community around here, crime has got to be up there 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.120 as one of the top issues. Almost every second door 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.000 that I knock on has been broken into, So crime 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.440 is a huge one in this area. And also cost 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:30.200 of living with a lot of aspirational small business owners 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.880 in Sunny Bank just down the road from here, really 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.320 impacted by the cost of living. So yeah, crime and 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.160 cost of living, and also health. We've got a hospital 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.080 here with ramping. 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.800 Well, I go nuts about ramping, right, I talk about 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.359 it all the time. It's a problem in every state, 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.280 but it's particularly chronic and particularly bad in the states 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.120 where you know, let's be honest, the unions are part 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:52.920 of the labor party. The labor parties part of unions. 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:54.080 You would think if they could get in the room 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:55.720 and work something out, they would be able to do so. 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.560 But no one is finding those solutions. No one's knocking 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.399 their heads to that no one's putting the proper amount 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:06.000 of money in the idea that the highest ramping in 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.119 the history of the state is happening right now, after 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.399 multiple premiers, multiple terms, all the rest of it. While 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.200 most of the time the ambulance is going to turn up, 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.040 there's plenty of examples when they don't. There's plenty of 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.200 examples of people sitting in the back of a hospital 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.919 in the back of an ambulance for too long. It 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.600 feels like Queensland has now hit this threshold of all 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.960 right enough, But then they're also very interested in how 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.040 you fix the problems as well. 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:33.800 Yeah, look, you're quite right. In my part of the world, 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:38.639 Redland Hospital has had the worst statistic on record for 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.280 hospital ramping and it breaks my heart because it's a 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.480 great hospital, but it's a little country hospital servicing what 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.640 is a big outer suburban area. It's grown so much 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:52.160 in recent years and you've got great nurses and wards 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.240 and doctors who are suffering under the strait. But the 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:56.760 LMP does have a really good plan to turn this 0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.480 stuff around. It means giving good data to those hospitals 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:02.600 and ambos to be able to know where to use 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.040
