Speaker 1: Live from McGregor. This is called Murray Live out town.
Speaker 2: Can i Estadi.
Speaker 1: Welcome the Queensland. Welcome Ogregor.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, we are here at the Glen Hotel. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much to everyone for being here. I love Queensland.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. This is magnificent. We spent plenty
Speaker 2: of time up the road in central Brisbane, but we're
Speaker 2: all about celebrating not just this area but the great state.
Speaker 2: We had plenty of fun. We apologized to no one
Speaker 2: for having fun and this is a magnificent venue. If
Speaker 2: you ever get the chance to be in this part
Speaker 2: of the world, you will enjoy every second of being
Speaker 2: here the Glen Hotel. It feels like it grows by
Speaker 2: the kilometer every minute. It's bigger and badder and more
Speaker 2: amazing than ever before. Looking forward to it. Got some
Speaker 2: special guests on the program, including the bloke that may
Speaker 2: will be the next Premier of New South Wire and
Speaker 2: New South Wales of Queensland. How did I do that?
Speaker 2: I've just peeked at the boss and he doing this.
Speaker 2: Oh no, will I fail my Queensland Citizen Chip test?
Speaker 2: Later perhaps, But David Christophili is here tonight along with
Speaker 2: a wonderful Amanda Scotia. We will talk to the participants
Speaker 2: in the Harvey Norman Women's State of Origin, which of
Speaker 2: course Queensland wrapped up. I thought you might be excited.
Speaker 2: I thought you might be happy. We'll talk about politics
Speaker 2: and a whole lot more in a moment of course.
Speaker 2: Being in Queensland, we can't but send our strength and
Speaker 2: love to everyone and all the families and all the
Speaker 2: communities involved in a horrible bus crash which has taken
Speaker 2: place in the past twenty four hours. It took place
Speaker 2: between Bowen and Townsville. Sadly, three people have lost their lives.
Speaker 2: At this stage four people are in a critical condition
Speaker 2: the Bruce Highway. We don't know whether it's anything to
Speaker 2: do with conditions of road, but certainly there was issues
Speaker 2: involving caravans, a whole collection of problems if you know
Speaker 2: that part of the world for the driving. But strength
Speaker 2: and love to everyone, all the families and everyone involved.
Speaker 2: And here's the latest from police in Queensland.
Speaker 3: The traffic crush has involved two vehicles, A four wall
Speaker 3: drive telling a caravan was adding in a outcound direction
Speaker 3: on the Bruce Highway and our bus was traveling in
Speaker 3: a northbound direction. There's been a collision between those two vehicles,
Speaker 3: very significant impact and very significant consequences. I can confirm
Speaker 3: that there were thirty three people on board the bus
Speaker 3: at the time. Unfortunately, three of those people are currently deceased.
Speaker 3: We've had a number of people that have been treated
Speaker 3: at the scene for injuries. Some of those people have
Speaker 3: been taken to Air Hospital and Townsville Hospital, and I
Speaker 3: can confirm that one person has been airlifted due to
Speaker 3: the significance of the injuries.
Speaker 2: Well, we're infro on the Coury of Mars website or
Speaker 2: if it's of course, it's got News dot com dot AU.
Speaker 2: Do you have any Donald Trump fans in the room
Speaker 2: here this evening? Any Joe Biden fans in the room?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I thought so. How did that debate go? Roll the tape?
Speaker 2: No incumbent has average done as poorly as Joe Biden did.
Speaker 2: I've been talking to a lot of leaders in the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party Elected's coalition leaders. There's a full on panic
Speaker 2: about this performance.
Speaker 5: From a Democratic point of view, this was an unmitigated disaster.
Speaker 1: So it went really well for Joe.
Speaker 2: Did you mean all those videos of the dude who
Speaker 2: can't walk or speak, or walk or speak, couldn't walk
Speaker 2: or speak, but this time on a national level. Now
Speaker 2: there was a special little detail for those that were
Speaker 2: watching along with the debate. And if you didn't get
Speaker 2: the chance, I hope you go and check out the
Speaker 2: video of myself and the beautiful Persian Princess Rita panehe
Speaker 2: watching in real time the political death of Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Here's us being very sensitive. I've seen your swing. I
Speaker 2: know you sing. Let's not act like chill.
Speaker 6: I'm one murderer, course, but that's happening right now, my tea.
Speaker 2: He chose to be on the right hand.
Speaker 1: Side of the TV.
Speaker 2: Didn't that help today?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: He could be wield it this way as opposed to
Speaker 6: look at you wild it that way.
Speaker 1: Let's just let's just stop this finish. Here's your full an.
Speaker 6: Elephant and yeah, yeah, you two were bloody.
Speaker 2: Horror Bye bye Joe. That just in case I haven't
Speaker 2: made the point clear enough for the people at media watch,
Speaker 2: you'll be watching us tonight for our reaction to what happened.
Speaker 2: Here's Joe Biden melting down in front of the entire world, unedited.
Speaker 8: The idea that states are able to do. This is
Speaker 8: a little lake saying we're going to turn civil rights
Speaker 8: back to the stage.
Speaker 2: Let each state have a different rule.
Speaker 8: Look, there's so many young women who have been including
Speaker 8: a young woman who just was murdered and he went
Speaker 8: to the funeral, the idea that she was murdered by
Speaker 8: an immigrant coming in and they talk about that.
Speaker 2: Uh, is it over? I think it might be over
Speaker 2: for a little old Joe. Bye bye Brandon, Bye bye Brandon. Well,
Speaker 2: as you know, the media freakout that happened as a
Speaker 2: result of this has brought forward what we all knew,
Speaker 2: which was that the guy is not up to it
Speaker 2: in terms of running for the presidency. But probably more
Speaker 2: frightening for the world is that he's not up to
Speaker 2: it to run the free world between now and January. Right,
Speaker 2: that's the concerns, that's our worry, Right, Yeah, this is
Speaker 2: the whole. It's not just the debate, it's the being president.
Speaker 2: Bid Well, I've got some kind of breaking news for
Speaker 2: you tonight, which is Camp David. Now, this is the
Speaker 2: place where presidents go to have a retreat or in
Speaker 2: Joe's case, prepare for that debate for a week. That's
Speaker 2: also the place where Middle East peace talks happen. It's
Speaker 2: kind of like the most privately private, private spot for
Speaker 2: a president to go. He has gone back to Camp
Speaker 2: David Sunday morning, American time. He will be meeting with
Speaker 2: his family today. The conversation will happen today about whether
Speaker 2: or not he continues. Now we know that Jill, who's
Speaker 2: sort of the full puppet and doing the whole thing,
Speaker 2: doesn't want to give up. We know Hunter will probably
Speaker 2: be high. But eventually they will start to have the
Speaker 2: real conversation. And all the pressure is coming from the
Speaker 2: Obama people, from the Clinton people, from what is kind
Speaker 2: of left in Biden world. Now, who knows. By the
Speaker 2: end of this, they could say We're going to punch on,
Speaker 2: But the likelihood of them punching on seems pretty low
Speaker 2: right now. In fact, NBC is reporting that, yeah, they
Speaker 2: are there right now that they are having that discussion. Obviously,
Speaker 2: if you just follow the pattern of news generally speaking,
Speaker 2: you don't go behind the closed doors to say everything
Speaker 2: is awesome. You try to do that. They did that
Speaker 2: the other day. It didn't work. So one thing that
Speaker 2: is also extraordinary to watch is that all of the
Speaker 2: media that has been flat out lying to you that
Speaker 2: Biden is fine. He's the sharpest attack, he's the smartest
Speaker 2: he's ever been. He's playing four D chess while skateboarding,
Speaker 2: you know, like come on. They of course are now
Speaker 2: saying see you later. This, of course, is the headline
Speaker 2: of the New York Times, the preferred paper of the
Speaker 2: super lefty, and they have said it's time to go
Speaker 2: all the TV, all the rest of it. But something
Speaker 2: you need to understand here about how massive this is,
Speaker 2: apart from just the obvious sense of a president saying
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to go around again. The last time
Speaker 2: that happened was LBJ in nineteen sixty eight, and LBJ
Speaker 2: of course decided not to run again because of the
Speaker 2: circumstances in and around the Vietnam War. Now we've seen
Speaker 2: Carter Trump, we've seen presidents being defeated, but we haven't
Speaker 2: seen presidents, for want of a better term, giving up.
Speaker 2: The idea that that would happen is incredibly impactful, not
Speaker 2: just for history, but it also gives us an idea
Speaker 2: about Joe Biden's decision making process. Because Joe Biden, since
Speaker 2: the very start of his presidency, has been having meetings,
Speaker 2: I mean literally white House meetings every two weeks with
Speaker 2: White House historians, with presidential historians. He is acutely aware
Speaker 2: of his place in history. Now, his place for the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party is he's the guy who slayed the dragon
Speaker 2: that is Trump. But to know that he will be
Speaker 2: a trivia question in years going forward in pub trivia,
Speaker 2: named the most recent president to give up will be
Speaker 2: one of those things they're going to talk about in
Speaker 2: the room today. So if you don't see an immediate
Speaker 2: piece of news coming out today, that will be the
Speaker 2: chief and principal reason why. So let's imagine that he decides,
Speaker 2: I'm going to step out of the way. How do
Speaker 2: we feel about President Kamala Harris? Yeah, funny you mentioned
Speaker 2: that because an opinion poll of the vice president. Now,
Speaker 2: remember president goes, vice president steps up. When it was Nixon,
Speaker 2: I am not a crook jumping into the helicopter. Of course,
Speaker 2: it was Ford, his vice president, who became the president. When,
Speaker 2: of course Kennedy was assassinated, it was LBJ who becomes
Speaker 2: the president. This is the obvious. The entire point of
Speaker 2: the vice president is to be the in case they
Speaker 2: die person, But that person elicits that reaction in this
Speaker 2: room and it is no different with the American voter.
Speaker 2: In fact, you know I love to show you and
Speaker 2: bore you with the data, So let's bore you with
Speaker 2: some data. People, Kamala Harris. According to the latest polls
Speaker 2: taken this year, if you have a look at the
Speaker 2: screen here in Brisbane, or obviously already watching the screen
Speaker 2: because you're watching Telly at home, but still you'll see there,
Speaker 2: if it's not Joe Biden, who should have be Kamala Harris,
Speaker 2: less than a quarter of all voters. Okay, not just
Speaker 2: Democratic voters, all voters. Now we keep being told that,
Speaker 2: of course seventy percent of people don't want either of
Speaker 2: these chances. Well, if the one next in line is
Speaker 2: it a quarter of the vote, you can start to
Speaker 2: see how it completely melts away. So you're not the
Speaker 2: only one who doesn't know who Gavin Newsom is. How
Speaker 2: people watching Sky News, people here in the room will
Speaker 2: know who Gavin probably is. But of course he's the
Speaker 2: governor of California. This bloke is the used car salesman
Speaker 2: of all used car salesman. Like, look at the hair,
Speaker 2: look at the shirt, look at the I've done nothing wrong,
Speaker 2: Hello ladies, and hello fellas because it's twenty twenty four, right,
Speaker 2: Like he's a rock and roll kind of guy. The
Speaker 2: only problem is he, of course represents a state where
Speaker 2: it feels like there's more homeless people than people with
Speaker 2: homes in California. Good like taking that around the world.
Speaker 2: Then there's a lady called Gretchen Whitner. Gretchen Whitner is
Speaker 2: a governor. She's the governor of one of the states
Speaker 2: that is a swing state, Michigan governor. The problem is
Speaker 2: she's the one who during COVID literally told people what
Speaker 2: aisles of the shopping center you could go down. She
Speaker 2: banned the purchase of seeds for some reason that was
Speaker 2: going to stop the wooflu but who knew that was
Speaker 2: how we were going to get on top of it.
Speaker 2: So she, of course is somebody who swing state, progressive woman,
Speaker 2: all the rest of it. But I now want to
Speaker 2: show you another bit of Poland which came out this
Speaker 2: year about Joe Biden, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom and Harris
Speaker 2: Can we drop the strap because I want to explain
Speaker 2: to everyone there that Joe Biden on the left hand
Speaker 2: side is losing to Donald Trump. Kamala Harris loses to
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, Gavin Newsom gets smashed by Donald Trump, and
Speaker 2: Gretchen Whitmer also would get smashed by Donald Trump. But
Speaker 2: before we feel too smug, before we all feel like
Speaker 2: a bunch of hillaries in twenty sixteen, that this thing
Speaker 2: is already in the bay and is done. One more
Speaker 2: piece of data, which is this when you have a
Speaker 2: look at the popularity of both Trump and Biden going
Speaker 2: into the debate and coming out of the debate, they
Speaker 2: were hated by basically the same amount of people one
Speaker 2: hour after one collapsed and one trumped for an hour.
Speaker 2: So you have a scenario here where the Democrats think,
Speaker 2: if it's a new face, all of that polling that
Speaker 2: says anyone but Trump or Biden would automatically reset the
Speaker 2: race and they would be able to potentially put the
Speaker 2: ball over the line and it would become a potentially
Speaker 2: easy victory. So you have people like Nicky Haley. Now
Speaker 2: remember about twenty percent of Republicans have turned around and
Speaker 2: they actually voted for Nicky Haley even when she wasn't
Speaker 2: running anymore against Donald Trump. Would those people go across
Speaker 2: to the new face and Trump would end up in
Speaker 2: a scenario where he's got forty five and the other
Speaker 2: person's got forty six, forty seven. Not as smug as
Speaker 2: we were about five minutes ago. We were starting to
Speaker 2: see what potentially could be happening now also still to
Speaker 2: come in this presidential election. Donald Trump is being sentenced
Speaker 2: on the eleventh of July. He could be sent to jail,
Speaker 2: not kind of jail, not maybe jail, actual jail, and
Speaker 2: have to go on that day now to be good
Speaker 2: for message discipline. If he went quiet for about thirty days,
Speaker 2: perhaps you can't make any mistakes when nobody's talking to you.
Speaker 2: But if he goes into house arrest, does that feel weird?
Speaker 2: Does that change the race? So the whole point of
Speaker 2: saying everything that I've just said is that we all
Speaker 2: feel exactly the same about the debate that we watched
Speaker 2: on Friday. We saw the presidential run of Joe Biden
Speaker 2: turned to dust. Joe Biden may arrogantly find a way
Speaker 2: to just keep on going and he'll probably lose. But
Speaker 2: let's be careful what we wish for. If that actually happens,
Speaker 2: that the replacement, if it's not Kamala Harris, could reset
Speaker 2: the race, and then Donald Trump becomes the problem, not
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. Now you may have noticed that the greatest
Speaker 2: Prime Minister of all time is Anthony Abernezi. You'd agree, Oh,
Speaker 2: come on, he's amazing. Have you seen his Twitter feed?
Speaker 2: It's full of celebrities and selfies. He's very good. Well,
Speaker 2: as you know, on this program, we spent the entire
Speaker 2: production budget on this graphic, which was each way albow right,
Speaker 2: because how often does he say one thing? Does he
Speaker 2: do another? Does he argue on Monday change his opinion
Speaker 2: a couple of days? So ladies and gentlemen here get
Speaker 2: ready for each way albow fatima addition, because you may
Speaker 2: well be aware that there was the senator from Western Australia,
Speaker 2: typical millennial who joins an organization only to want to
Speaker 2: change it from within. But fair enough, that's a generational thing.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it another time. Now, as we know, oh,
Speaker 2: the shock, the horror, because she voted against her own party,
Speaker 2: against her own government, the first person to do so
Speaker 2: against the Labor from the Labor Party since nineteen eighty eight. Now,
Speaker 2: as you know, when this actually happened, the first thing
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister did was pick up the phone and
Speaker 2: ring the media and say, you know, technically we don't
Speaker 2: actually have to give her any sort of a punishment whatsoever,
Speaker 2: kind of like the way I deal with my youngest daughter.
Speaker 2: But you get the point right. Well, of course, as
Speaker 2: you know, that didn't quite work, because he ended up
Speaker 2: turning around and delivering a very heavy sentence of you
Speaker 2: don't have to come to a meeting for one week.
Speaker 2: I mean, this was big, This was I mean, this
Speaker 2: is I mean when you are talking of Tony Abbott
Speaker 2: wanted to shirt front putin. She's this bloke is willing
Speaker 2: to throw a lettuce leaf at a senator like this
Speaker 2: is tough, right, this guy's right up there. Well, as
Speaker 2: you'll have heard today, the senator in question went on
Speaker 2: to Channel two. So this is a home game. Yet
Speaker 2: even when you're playing a home game, it doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Just ask Joe Biden. Because of course she says, I'll
Speaker 2: cross the floor again.
Speaker 4: It's the same motion on recognizing the state of Palestine
Speaker 4: was to be bought for tomorrow.
Speaker 9: I would cross the floor.
Speaker 2: You would cross the floor again. So Prime Minister calls
Speaker 2: are over for a quick little chat at the lodge.
Speaker 2: Here's Toto. Did I mention that my mum was single
Speaker 2: mother and I was from housing commit twenty minutes later
Speaker 2: then of course there was the decision you are indefinitely
Speaker 2: booted out, which means, of course the Greens will continue
Speaker 2: to have their fun and they will do so again
Speaker 2: tomorrow and just before we get to celebrating Queensland, tomorrow's
Speaker 2: a big day for all Australians. Do everyone here in McGregor,
Speaker 2: in Brisbane and at home? Are you ready for cost
Speaker 2: of living to end tomorrow? I mean there is, I
Speaker 2: mean there's a lot coming your way. Guys, Like, if
Speaker 2: you're lucky enough, you might be able to get somewhere
Speaker 2: between forty five thousand dollars a year, gets fifteen dollars
Speaker 2: a week. That'll solve the problem. Don't forget everyone who's
Speaker 2: watching us in both a mansion and a granny flat.
Speaker 2: You're getting twenty five dollars a month with your power
Speaker 2: bill plus one thousand dollars from Stephen Miles right ps
Speaker 2: Queen's will thee thousand dollars power bill give away from
Speaker 2: the Queensland Government change your vote later this year you're
Speaker 2: going to kind of take the money and run. I
Speaker 2: thought that might be the case, all right now, beautiful Brisbane.
Speaker 2: We had the chance to be able to celebrate at
Speaker 2: muck around a little bit earlier this weekend. It is
Speaker 2: a magnificent place and the idea that it's winter here please.
Speaker 2: In a couple of weeks the world will care about Paris.
Speaker 2: Four years later it will be Los Angeles, and then
Speaker 2: in twenty thirty two it is beautiful Brisbane. You know
Speaker 2: how much I love Queensland and I love this city.
Speaker 2: The city has changed so much over the years, and
Speaker 2: in my view, always for the better, but it still
Speaker 2: has awesome things from the eighties, unbelievable stuff from the nineties,
Speaker 2: little alley ways that feel like they're out of places
Speaker 2: like Melbourne. But this is this that is open to
Speaker 2: anyone every day. And the best way to get around Brisbane,
Speaker 2: believe me, isn't a car or a ferry.
Speaker 1: It's one of these scooters.
Speaker 2: You know, I love everything about this country, but I
Speaker 2: really love Queensland. And after a hard day of scootering,
Speaker 2: it's time for some lunch by the river at the
Speaker 2: amazing Brisbane Powerhouse with the sensational people of mary May's
Speaker 2: Bar and Kitchen.
Speaker 1: My friends.
Speaker 2: Had of course, if you truly want the experience of
Speaker 2: the East Scooter in Brisbane, you have to throw it
Speaker 2: into the Brisbane River at the end of the experience.
Speaker 2: Not a lot of people love them if you live here,
Speaker 2: but they're great if you come here. All right, The
Speaker 2: wonderful Amanda Smoker is here, you know, of course from
Speaker 2: a time here at Sky News the Federal Parliament before that,
Speaker 2: Taylor Huller's with her as well. Both that candidates for
Speaker 2: the on P at the upcoming election. Give them around, applause, ladies,
Speaker 2: love and see you nice.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to.
Speaker 2: A whole bunch of issues in a second. But a
Speaker 2: management wasn't since seen you on the tilly. How are
Speaker 2: you feeling? How are you going good?
Speaker 9: It's good to be with you.
Speaker 2: Are you Are you enjoying being back on the hustings.
Speaker 9: I'm loving it. It's really good.
Speaker 2: Howzard door knocking going? Do people sort of oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: are you? And then into the issues.
Speaker 9: It's always a love encouragement when people know a little
Speaker 9: bit about you before you arrive. But most of them
Speaker 9: are in a bit of heartache and they're in a
Speaker 9: bit of pain. You know, they've got a government that's
Speaker 9: not really serving them well, and so.
Speaker 2: They've got a lot of sha So Taylor, you're doing
Speaker 2: so in this part of the world.
Speaker 10: Yes, this is my past.
Speaker 2: When you go, when you talk to people here around McGregor,
Speaker 2: around this area, what are the types of things that
Speaker 2: they talk to you about being the problems here in this.
Speaker 10: Bit of quick Look, So in my area, my local
Speaker 10: community around here, crime has got to be up there
Speaker 10: as one of the top issues. Almost every second door
Speaker 10: that I knock on has been broken into, So crime
Speaker 10: is a huge one in this area. And also cost
Speaker 10: of living with a lot of aspirational small business owners
Speaker 10: in Sunny Bank just down the road from here, really
Speaker 10: impacted by the cost of living. So yeah, crime and
Speaker 10: cost of living, and also health. We've got a hospital
Speaker 10: here with ramping.
Speaker 2: Well, I go nuts about ramping, right, I talk about
Speaker 2: it all the time. It's a problem in every state,
Speaker 2: but it's particularly chronic and particularly bad in the states
Speaker 2: where you know, let's be honest, the unions are part
Speaker 2: of the labor party. The labor parties part of unions.
Speaker 2: You would think if they could get in the room
Speaker 2: and work something out, they would be able to do so.
Speaker 2: But no one is finding those solutions. No one's knocking
Speaker 2: their heads to that no one's putting the proper amount
Speaker 2: of money in the idea that the highest ramping in
Speaker 2: the history of the state is happening right now, after
Speaker 2: multiple premiers, multiple terms, all the rest of it. While
Speaker 2: most of the time the ambulance is going to turn up,
Speaker 2: there's plenty of examples when they don't. There's plenty of
Speaker 2: examples of people sitting in the back of a hospital
Speaker 2: in the back of an ambulance for too long. It
Speaker 2: feels like Queensland has now hit this threshold of all
Speaker 2: right enough, But then they're also very interested in how
Speaker 2: you fix the problems as well.
Speaker 9: Yeah, look, you're quite right. In my part of the world,
Speaker 9: Redland Hospital has had the worst statistic on record for
Speaker 9: hospital ramping and it breaks my heart because it's a
Speaker 9: great hospital, but it's a little country hospital servicing what
Speaker 9: is a big outer suburban area. It's grown so much
Speaker 9: in recent years and you've got great nurses and wards
Speaker 9: and doctors who are suffering under the strait. But the
Speaker 9: LMP does have a really good plan to turn this
Speaker 9: stuff around. It means giving good data to those hospitals
Speaker 9: and ambos to be able to know where to use
Speaker 9: their resources in real time, putting doctors and nurses back
Speaker 9: in charge and making sure they've got the resources and
Speaker 9: support they need to service. What are big communities?
Speaker 2: And Taylor, do you have a feeling that queens and
Speaker 2: is ready for the turn? Ready, ready for the change?
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. Your team Blue are going
Speaker 2: to tell me that's the case. But your sense of things?
Speaker 2: Do you Does it feel different than last election? Does
Speaker 2: it feel that The reason I say this, I have
Speaker 2: a slight amount of PTSD. I remember saying about the
Speaker 2: great need for a change four years ago and it
Speaker 2: didn't happen.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Look, I think in my local community around here, I
Speaker 10: think people know that they've been taken for granted for
Speaker 10: too long. And yeah, I really do feel it out there.
Speaker 10: I think people do know that it's time for a change.
Speaker 2: So tell us about yourself, what did you do before
Speaker 2: this moment?
Speaker 10: So I have a background in economics, so that's yeah,
Speaker 10: that's my background, and that's my passion. And I think
Speaker 10: one of the reasons why I had decide to put
Speaker 10: my hand up was because my own grandfather, who's in
Speaker 10: his nineties, was ramped at Q two Hospital into e
Speaker 10: just down the road. For five hours and that just
Speaker 10: broke my heart, like my ninety something. You know, your
Speaker 10: old grandfather ramped at the local hospital.
Speaker 2: Well, quick question, hands up, who has faith in the
Speaker 2: ambulance system right now in Queensland? In the people, in
Speaker 2: the people of course, of course the people working, But
Speaker 2: do do we trust them on it? Right? Yeah? Well
Speaker 2: there you go, little some little random sample at any time, Amanda,
Speaker 2: last one here again, the way that queens and politics
Speaker 2: has worked for a long period of time is that
Speaker 2: the governments had really good relationships with the media. They've
Speaker 2: been able to change your subject at the last minute.
Speaker 2: You've seen things like the thousand dollars, You've seen all
Speaker 2: of the like. Do you think that they still have
Speaker 2: that capacity to change the subject at the last minute?
Speaker 2: And the election campaign is about something that's really important
Speaker 2: on the day but is not actually anything to do
Speaker 2: with the four years between elections.
Speaker 9: Look, they're great at campaigning, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 9: But I Daorno the day after the thousand dollars energy
Speaker 9: subsidy came out and people were quite hot angry because
Speaker 9: they said, you didn't maintain our energy assets and the
Speaker 9: Calloid power plant, so it blew up so our energy
Speaker 9: bills blew out and we've all been suffering for years
Speaker 9: with the consequences. And now you think you can give
Speaker 9: us one thousand dollars of our own taxpayer money, and
Speaker 9: we're going to come back and say, oh gee, thanks
Speaker 9: for that. What we want is for you to solve
Speaker 9: the problems, to maintain our assets and to do the
Speaker 9: forward planning that means people can see the cost of
Speaker 9: living going down in real ways for the long term.
Speaker 2: Buddie, thank you very much, guys, I appreciate it. Good luck,
Speaker 2: good luck pickers. All right, quick clackword little more rebruting
Speaker 2: a celebration, a state of origin. We're Queensland, just one
Speaker 2: of the decider in the women's game. More in a second.
Speaker 2: Thanks to the good people of Harving Normans anouncing welcome
Speaker 2: back to Madrega. Here in bridgement and beautiful Queensland happened
Speaker 2: quaen Flan. If I love this place of it may
Speaker 2: not be coming home. Just turn my phone off for
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. I'll be right. Just you'll find
Speaker 2: me in a poky place somewhere. Now, the very good
Speaker 2: people of Harvey Norman, don't just make it possible for
Speaker 2: us to go around the country to hang out, to
Speaker 2: have so much fun action every month. But also they
Speaker 2: are huge supporters of sport and particularly champions of female sport.
Speaker 2: There has just been the very first three game series
Speaker 2: in the State of origin and for female players there
Speaker 2: are tens of thousands of women playing rugby league and
Speaker 2: his part of this incredible series worth celebrating because Queensland won. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's cheap, heap, roll it up. Queensland loves it's footy
Speaker 2: and for rugby league players in this state, there's no
Speaker 2: higher honor than being able to pull on the maroon
Speaker 2: jersey in State of Origin. For way too long, it's
Speaker 2: an honor the only men who've been able to dream of.
Speaker 2: But now women can do it too. Thanks to the
Speaker 2: support of Katie Page and Harvey Norman, the women's game
Speaker 2: has grown exponentially. Did you know that there are forty
Speaker 2: thousand female participants taking part in rugby league activities across
Speaker 2: the country this year. That's the biggest ever and now
Speaker 2: it means that women can dream of wearing that jersey
Speaker 2: and competing for the Harvey Norman Queensland Morons in a
Speaker 2: three game series. Two of Queensland's best are Julia Robinson
Speaker 2: and Ronmy Teezel. They tell us how it's been incredible
Speaker 2: to watch the women's game grow year after year after year.
Speaker 4: Those young girls who get to play in the junior
Speaker 4: clubs throughout the whole junior years and be able to
Speaker 4: play rugby league at school, now they're going to have
Speaker 4: a great step. They're going to have that big step
Speaker 4: in front of our girls.
Speaker 7: Setting up young girls for successes, providing a professional environment
Speaker 7: at such a young age. And a lot of the
Speaker 7: local schools here have rugby league programs for girls and
Speaker 7: they're develop and grow in those spaces before they come
Speaker 7: out and they'll be taking over our sports xener old
Speaker 7: w players very shortly.
Speaker 1: I guess this.
Speaker 2: Year's State of Origin series has been amazing. Game one,
Speaker 2: in front of twenty five thousand fans was great for
Speaker 2: New South Wales. They got up twenty to twelve and
Speaker 2: the icing on the cake was the eighty five meter
Speaker 2: try by the wonderful Janie Chapman.
Speaker 11: Again it's the boys galloping up held no One. He's
Speaker 11: gatostop Jamie Chapman.
Speaker 2: And even the pouring rain couldn't stop the Origin spirit
Speaker 2: for Game two when Queensland were able to draw level
Speaker 2: in the series. Takes to a late field goal from
Speaker 2: Lauren Brown.
Speaker 11: Lauren Brats kicks the ball up, go the field goal,
Speaker 11: Hey Lobley.
Speaker 2: Butcher's check that which means for the first time in
Speaker 2: women's origin history, we have got a decider. One game
Speaker 2: for New South Wales, one game for Queensland, and it's
Speaker 2: all on the line. Queensland got off to a flyer
Speaker 2: leading fourteen mill at halftime they were all over New
Speaker 2: South Wales and this incredible effort from Julia Robinson sunded up.
Speaker 11: Last play. It goes pat his top on the right.
Speaker 11: Her kick through the line ex still there, not backwards
Speaker 11: by New South Wales and.
Speaker 1: Fallen on by Julia Robinson.
Speaker 11: Queensland had another try. They're out by twelve points.
Speaker 2: You said Wales were able to get some life alfter
Speaker 2: halftime with a ninety meter intercept try by guessed Jamie Chapman.
Speaker 1: Here's Taranaka with number.
Speaker 11: She passed it straight to Jamie Chaffin, who gets away
Speaker 11: from acodness.
Speaker 2: Now she winds up.
Speaker 11: She's a link of the failed specialist.
Speaker 1: You are riding with Jamie.
Speaker 11: Chappan, who goes all the way to a different airports,
Speaker 11: the one on the other end of the field.
Speaker 2: Ultimately, Queensland triumph twenty two to six, meaning that you
Speaker 2: just didn't win the game with the state of origin
Speaker 2: title Stags hu in Queensland. What an absolutely fantastic seas
Speaker 2: and as everyone knows these days, it's only going to
Speaker 2: get better because young women are more focused and energized
Speaker 2: and supported than ever before to reach their origin dreams.
Speaker 2: That's only possible thanks to Harvey Norman, thanks to our
Speaker 2: mate Katie Page, and thanks to the fans who backed
Speaker 2: these women in each and every year.
Speaker 7: It's pretty surreal, to be honest, growing up, I never
Speaker 7: had any female role models in the rugby league space.
Speaker 7: How many girls played rugby league, and especially in a
Speaker 7: small town, I think that was something that didn't really
Speaker 7: happen and not many young girls got involved.
Speaker 4: It will get to the point that girls won't have
Speaker 4: to work and that all they have to do is
Speaker 4: go to training and play for you.
Speaker 2: Amazing athletes, lovely people. Will meet two in a second.
Speaker 2: But speaking of Harvey Norman, here in early September, the
Speaker 2: McGregor Homemaker Center is going to be opening. It's going
Speaker 2: to be South Brisbane's premier homemaker shopping destination has two
Speaker 2: of Australia's leading retailers in both Harvey Norman and Domain.
Speaker 2: It's going to be located on Kessels Road in McGregor,
Speaker 2: just twelve k's from Brisbane, CBD. It'll boast over twenty
Speaker 2: three thousand square meters a premium retail space, five hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty undercover car spaces, and service that is the
Speaker 2: best in town. So make sure that you pop on
Speaker 2: down to Having Norman McGregor will be open in early September.
Speaker 2: But would you please welcome Jamie and Julia the stars
Speaker 2: of Oregon this year. Thanks you all done, guys, well done. Now, Jamie,
Speaker 2: I want to ask you when you when you make
Speaker 2: a break and you're going that's the line long way?
Speaker 2: How far out are you going? How long do I
Speaker 2: have to run for? Because like, do you just how
Speaker 2: did you just? The adrenaline runs you focus your fire?
Speaker 2: How do you do it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Origin is a very fast game and you've got to
Speaker 4: make the most of your opportunity that you get. So
Speaker 4: when I saw the opportunity open, I just went for it.
Speaker 4: And honestly I was feeling like that as soon as
Speaker 4: I got the ball, I went, oh god, I'm going
Speaker 4: to have to run here, and you know, I went
Speaker 4: for and lucky enough for I got to the trail line.
Speaker 2: I have a similar athletics. Oh, the letters have been delivered,
Speaker 2: I'll do it tomorrow. That's generally my process for you, Julia,
Speaker 2: congratulations on winning the series. You were both laughing, hopefully
Speaker 2: not at what I was saying, But looking back at highlights,
Speaker 2: how does it feel to be able to now that
Speaker 2: it is the expectation that you're going to have highlights,
Speaker 2: You're going to have the commentators, you can have the crowd,
Speaker 2: like all that fantasy that you had as a young player.
Speaker 2: Is it still weird to watch yourself back like that.
Speaker 4: It is, like, I feel like it's kind of a
Speaker 4: dream come true, and it is a great It's a
Speaker 4: great thing for women's sport in general. So it's like
Speaker 4: it's awesome to see that we're getting that support and
Speaker 4: we having the commentators like lived heaving on like ten
Speaker 4: or nine and everything. So yeah, it's awesome for us
Speaker 4: US girls to have that opportunity.
Speaker 2: But even to talk about, like even a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago, right, some of the great successes that you
Speaker 2: had weren't seen on television, they're or they're seen at
Speaker 2: a certain time when people and seeing them in those
Speaker 2: those early parts of your career. Compared to your phone
Speaker 2: blowing up after Origin, what's that feel like? Does it
Speaker 2: feel like a world ago that you know, a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago, just a number of people watching you
Speaker 2: was different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. I'm only still one of the young ones.
Speaker 4: I'm the youngest in the new South Wales team and
Speaker 4: I don't feel it, to be honest, after all the
Speaker 4: footy I've had, But even from when I was coming through,
Speaker 4: I was a development player and we were only getting
Speaker 4: paid a few thousand dollars and we still have to
Speaker 4: work a full time job at the moment and juggle
Speaker 4: both football and a job. But to see where it's
Speaker 4: come from, just in the short time that I've been
Speaker 4: a part of NLW, the it's come so far, and
Speaker 4: it's growing so fast and so rapidly, and thanks to
Speaker 4: all our sponsors, our fans and all the young girls
Speaker 4: pushing us to be better.
Speaker 2: So the wonderful thing about Origin is we've all known
Speaker 2: as fans and then obviously you guys as players. Right
Speaker 2: do you go through the same process that a fan does.
Speaker 2: When you turn around, you go, okay, we won game one.
Speaker 2: We lost game one, that's okay, We've got game two
Speaker 2: or right, don't worry about it if we do this
Speaker 2: like is it is it all or nothing, regardless of
Speaker 2: whether it's game one or game three. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I feel like you have to treat every game like
Speaker 4: do or die. Like I feel like, especially in our
Speaker 4: second game, like it was do or die for us.
Speaker 4: We had to like win that game or it was
Speaker 4: done for us. So I think we always like prepare
Speaker 4: like it's just another game. So we don't we can't
Speaker 4: obviously reflect and review the first games, but we can't
Speaker 4: treat every game as like another game. So going going hard, which.
Speaker 2: Bit hurt the most after the game.
Speaker 4: Oh always when you're seeing Queensland lift up that shield,
Speaker 4: I think I looked the opposite direction and I was
Speaker 4: just doing like this.
Speaker 2: So much sympathy in the room too, I mean, you
Speaker 2: really feel for the news, Isn't that just terrible? Congratulations?
Speaker 2: Thank you for everything that you're doing in your career,
Speaker 2: the inspiration that you're giving to young women all over
Speaker 2: the entry. Congratulations, give it up for a well done guys.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Jamie. Thank you very much, Julie. Now,
Speaker 2: also I've got a special you don't get to win
Speaker 2: this prize. I'm about to you. Are you're going, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm going to get some No no, no, more prizes
Speaker 2: for you. Thanks to the good people of Harvey Norman
Speaker 2: noted them help back hounds.
Speaker 1: It's good.
Speaker 2: Don't worry. Okay. Now I have got a five hundred
Speaker 2: dollars gift boucher thanks to the very good people of
Speaker 2: Harvey Norman. I'm about to give it away here. So
Speaker 2: do you have a yellow ticket if you're in the
Speaker 2: room all right? Does it have the number of the
Speaker 2: litter d in it? If it's ticket forty seven, you
Speaker 2: just won five hundred dollars gift voucher from Harvey Norman
Speaker 2: Winners in the room.
Speaker 9: Why is this?
Speaker 1: There's one hundred people in a room.
Speaker 2: No one's gone. It happens every time. No, thank you, congratulations,
Speaker 2: well done. Thanks for the good people are Harvey Norman.
Speaker 2: Immigrant story is opening around late September. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Quick more year alive. I love that. To the government three,
Speaker 2: I love more fruit stuff. Thanks for watching. Now, as
Speaker 2: you know, we've done shows from to Wimba and all
Speaker 2: over Queensland, and the dominant issue, as you heard with
Speaker 2: Amanda before, is crime. Crime. Good people want to be
Speaker 2: able to be safe and good people want to know
Speaker 2: that there's consequences. Ben Cannon is one of those good
Speaker 2: people who's got together with others that are victims of crime,
Speaker 2: who you've seen on the news. They've been rallying and
Speaker 2: trying to push and he's seeing how to talk about
Speaker 2: a very big issue, but a very important one and
Speaker 2: it's number one for people in Queensland right now. Firstly,
Speaker 2: most importantly, think if your work I appreciate it, I
Speaker 2: really appreciate it. We're at this point now where the
Speaker 2: problem is very well defined. The government turns around and says, oh,
Speaker 2: X million dollars for this and this that, but the
Speaker 2: fundamental doesn't change, which is what we need to change,
Speaker 2: which is if something happens to you, the person who
Speaker 2: did it to you has to receive some sort of
Speaker 2: punishment for what they did to you. Instead, the system
Speaker 2: seems to be you are irrelevant and it's only about
Speaker 2: the perpetrator. Why did they do it? What will happen
Speaker 2: to their life if they get punished? And that seems
Speaker 2: pretty screwing because you've spent so much time around people
Speaker 2: who are victims of crimes, whose lives are changed forever. Yeah. Correct.
Speaker 12: The problem with it is there's so many layers that
Speaker 12: are dysfunctional and broken. You know, you go from the US.
Speaker 12: The most confronting thing for us in our situation was
Speaker 12: meeting kids that you know, I coach football. I've got
Speaker 12: kids that are the same age as them, you know,
Speaker 12: that are causing just horrific like war scenes. You know,
Speaker 12: some traumas happened to them, some crime has been committed
Speaker 12: to them that hasn't been brought to task. They then
Speaker 12: end up doing this apprenticeship on crime through this revolving
Speaker 12: door of justice that we have in Queensland, and they
Speaker 12: get better at it. And when they get better at
Speaker 12: it in crime, more people get hurt and there's more vicyctoms.
Speaker 12: You know, when you get to the Sentencing Act. This
Speaker 12: is stuff I didn't want to know a lot about.
Speaker 12: When you look at the Sentencing Act, you know there's
Speaker 12: a statue at the front.
Speaker 2: With the sort of scale line justice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 12: So what the problem with it is is there's no
Speaker 12: there's no scales like it's all weighted to one side,
Speaker 12: which is the as you say, the welfare and the
Speaker 12: sob story of the criminal. Now I'm not saying it's
Speaker 12: not a part of it. It has to be, and
Speaker 12: we have to get better at rehabilitating these people otherwise
Speaker 12: we get this repeat cycle. But if you can't have
Speaker 12: the same weight on the other side, which is the victim,
Speaker 12: then it's an imbalanced justice.
Speaker 2: Well, and I often flip my lid when I hear
Speaker 2: well meaning people, Right, I don't think there's a lot
Speaker 2: of nasty people in the system. It's just they think
Speaker 2: there's only one solution and it's the one they've got, right.
Speaker 2: But when I hear about things like I'm raising the
Speaker 2: age of criminal responsibility now, that will not disappear crime.
Speaker 2: It will just disappear allegedly being able to hold somebody
Speaker 2: responsible for the crime. Right, So in places like Tory,
Speaker 2: they're going up to fourteen. This government, while simultaneously saying
Speaker 2: we're doing something about youth crime, was also decriminalizing possession,
Speaker 2: which meant the numbers would get fiddled in the lead
Speaker 2: up to an election. Is that a fair perception or
Speaker 2: is that just angry guy on TV stuff? Yeah?
Speaker 12: I think that fundamentally, we have to separate bad behavior
Speaker 12: from good people. And so if you just look at
Speaker 12: it simply in that sense, we don't want to lock
Speaker 12: up kids. But what we want to see is kids
Speaker 12: taken out of a very traumatic environment and put into
Speaker 12: an environment that as a state we're proud of that
Speaker 12: is going to make them better. We don't have that
Speaker 12: solution at the moment. So what we've got is nothing's
Speaker 12: getting done. You know, I've met with Bob g I've
Speaker 12: met with Die Farmer, I've met with Stephen Miles, I've
Speaker 12: met with Mike Kaiser, and these are from you know,
Speaker 12: I get marched into these meetings and I get told
Speaker 12: how important these people are and how wonderfully powerful they are,
Speaker 12: and you know, you should be gracious and grateful for
Speaker 12: the time. But the reality of it is is that
Speaker 12: I don't think they're bad people, but there's some disconnect
Speaker 12: through the emotions that they show you in that meeting
Speaker 12: about how they feel and empathize and how they genuinely
Speaker 12: understand the plight of the people that nothing gets done.
Speaker 12: We sit here with more reviews, we sit here with
Speaker 12: more data, We sit here that the report that came
Speaker 12: out last week Bob g came out and see if
Speaker 12: you can find me a better system around the world.
Speaker 2: We'll look at it.
Speaker 1: Belgium, Spain.
Speaker 12: I only use Google, but I'm sure you've got better
Speaker 12: resources to find them. You know, there are better systems
Speaker 12: than what we've got. We asked for them to build
Speaker 12: a facility similar to weld Camp. It took them nine
Speaker 12: months and on a Sunday afternoon they made the decision
Speaker 12: to build it two hundred and fifty million dollars. Nine
Speaker 12: months later, it was a thousand bed facility. Now, since
Speaker 12: we asked for that two and a half years ago,
Speaker 12: there still hasn't been another bed made. They're locking more
Speaker 12: kids up, which in turn are being put back into
Speaker 12: these same traumatic environments of broken prisons that end up
Speaker 12: getting spat out better than they went in as a criminal,
Speaker 12: not as a person, And we think we're doing something
Speaker 12: better for me. It's personal, but it's also so frustrating.
Speaker 12: We told them that people would lose their lives if
Speaker 12: they don't get this right. They all nodded and die
Speaker 12: farmer and you know, but nothing's changed. Absolutely nothing's changed.
Speaker 2: It's frustrating. So then okay, when you go through that
Speaker 2: process and again, people in this group, people who've been
Speaker 2: out in the front apartment. These are normal people who,
Speaker 2: unlike you know, some startlight being, wants to be on
Speaker 2: telling you you know, lean forward right, normal people. It's
Speaker 2: not easy for normal people to put their head above
Speaker 2: things to be seen, for people to go you're just
Speaker 2: a team blue, You're just a you know, like that
Speaker 2: idiot laboring p in towns. Well, it's all sort of
Speaker 2: a media lead up, like I can't swear first some
Speaker 2: in front of guests. But that's obviously garbage, right it's
Speaker 2: but for those people are there moments where they give up,
Speaker 2: where they just say, look, I've been part of the group.
Speaker 2: That's great, but I've been noted at too many times.
Speaker 12: We've got a problem in Queensland. We've got many career politicians.
Speaker 12: They believe their own retoric. You know, as I say,
Speaker 12: what do they call it? The tower of power? These
Speaker 12: people have titles. I mean, if I try and go
Speaker 12: back to my work environment and tell people to call
Speaker 12: me by a title, I mean, I'll get dragged before
Speaker 12: the courts. I mean, and then these people all think
Speaker 12: it's just a it's a normal way to operate. You've
Speaker 12: got people that are operating in this environment day in
Speaker 12: day out, and they never actually put boots on the
Speaker 12: ground and go out and walk through a school in
Speaker 12: western Queensland that Indigenous kids are suffering, and never go
Speaker 12: out to Ipswich or Mount Eyes or any of these
Speaker 12: places that we've got absolute carnage. They just make a
Speaker 12: decision from one, you know, William Street.
Speaker 2: Because they only care about the six pm news front
Speaker 2: page of the paper, that it's just keeping the issue.
Speaker 2: But the issue isn't It's not an issue. It's people.
Speaker 1: It's human beings.
Speaker 2: And in the same way that in a natural disaster
Speaker 2: we say the humans matter, we rush towards, we triage
Speaker 2: all of that, the same has to apply in this
Speaker 2: area for victims. So give us a night, give us
Speaker 2: the shopping list or the main stuff that you take
Speaker 2: into this election. And you're trying to yell at every
Speaker 2: team to do.
Speaker 12: You know, I think when we get on the extreme
Speaker 12: end of crime, and we've got lots of kids, unfortunately
Speaker 12: they're starting to get there, you have to process them
Speaker 12: as we do adults. You know, this youth justice slows
Speaker 12: down an already bogged up system. So adult crime child
Speaker 12: you know, what do they say adult crime you do
Speaker 12: the same time, so it has to sort of have
Speaker 12: that same balance. The thing with it also is when
Speaker 12: you say kids don't make the kids that don't make
Speaker 12: good choices did it by osmosis or bad upbringing, you
Speaker 12: take away the power of kids that make really good
Speaker 12: decisions because you can't have it both ways. You can't
Speaker 12: have kids in these communities that are rising above and
Speaker 12: kids that are tearing everything down and say, well, one
Speaker 12: side they just made really good decisions, were really proud,
Speaker 12: and the other ones, well, it was you know, it
Speaker 12: was Tuesday they had you know this and this the
Speaker 12: reality of it is is choice is a choice, and
Speaker 12: they have to own them. Consequences are part of that. Now,
Speaker 12: whether you call it detention, whether you call it, but
Speaker 12: you have to separate bad behavior from good people. And
Speaker 12: you know, I go back to welcamp. In nine months
Speaker 12: we build a thousand bed facility. They could have taken
Speaker 12: the kids there, They could have introduced their families to
Speaker 12: better habits. They could have really kind of said, unless
Speaker 12: you get better, you're not getting out.
Speaker 2: What's the thing. You can't simultaneously be the place that
Speaker 2: wants to hold an Olympic Games, but can't hold people
Speaker 2: accountable crime, right Like, it's pretty simple, right Ben, Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for give them random plause, strength and
Speaker 2: love to you and all of the group. Mate, they
Speaker 2: really love your guys. All right, quick break back with
Speaker 2: more human pul myray line. Welcome back to the Glen
Speaker 2: Hotel here in McGregor. Thank you to Brian and Pathy
Speaker 2: for taking care of us. Why am I sitting like
Speaker 2: this because a man who might be about to become
Speaker 2: the Queensland premiere should the election go his ways, None
Speaker 2: of them, the Great David christophili the leader of the
Speaker 2: olymp give me random the pause. This man's a very
Speaker 2: good man. But before we're getting into a conversation, I
Speaker 2: have longed for an opportunity to become a Queenslander without
Speaker 2: actually living in Queensland because whatever now would you have me? Now,
Speaker 2: as I've said, if you pass the law that blood
Speaker 2: transfusions have become a Queensland and makes you great, awesome.
Speaker 2: But till then, I'm going to answer some of your questions.
Speaker 2: I'm going to sit a Queensland citizenship test not legal
Speaker 2: for those that are watching The Guardian, Yeah yeah, look
Speaker 2: at this. So what are some questions and let's see
Speaker 2: if I'm a Queensland and if I need to find
Speaker 2: a friend, I've got one hundred with me.
Speaker 12: I've got half a dozen here.
Speaker 1: Oh they got music.
Speaker 5: You have music. But I've waited all my life to
Speaker 5: be the one asking you questions.
Speaker 3: See this is really good, all right?
Speaker 2: What is the animal emblem of Queensland. It's not Matilda
Speaker 2: because that's the Gold Coast. It's a koala o.
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Okay, I knew that, all right.
Speaker 5: The next one is who is the Queen's Land Premier?
Speaker 5: And you can't name the head of the cfm Au.
Speaker 2: Giggles Miles Giggles mile right.
Speaker 5: Which Queensland city is known as the Rum City bunderbook?
Speaker 5: Well done, which Queensland band is best known for the
Speaker 5: song my Happiness Done?
Speaker 2: And didn't they do an album about Vulture Street which
Speaker 2: is near the Gabba? Done very well?
Speaker 5: But another half a point, which are the following icons?
Speaker 5: Which are the following icons is not found in Queensland
Speaker 5: The big Bull, the Big Mango, the big pineapple, or
Speaker 5: the big.
Speaker 2: Prawn, the big prawn because that's in northern New South Wales.
Speaker 1: Two to go?
Speaker 2: Do I look actually nervous because they am.
Speaker 5: If I was to say that I had in my
Speaker 5: possession a Milton Mango, what is it?
Speaker 2: Can I phone a friend? I think it's the prices right,
Speaker 2: it's some sort of alcohol drinking, Yes, Milton Mango. Yes,
Speaker 2: so Milton Dick, which means I get drunk and I'm
Speaker 2: an idiot? It is different? Does it mean I overspend
Speaker 2: on something I don't know? I don't know? It's a
Speaker 2: four four ex a Milton Mango?
Speaker 1: Still close?
Speaker 2: All right? You can get one wrong and you still
Speaker 2: become a Queenslander.
Speaker 5: And absolutely and the final who is the current holder
Speaker 5: of the state of origin shield for the men Queensland?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, I'm a Queenslander. It is Thank you. I
Speaker 2: appreciate it. We will have you any time. Thank you
Speaker 2: all right. And in exchange for this citizenship, let's now
Speaker 2: talk about what you'd like to do at the election.
Speaker 2: How does that I'm a Queenslander? Great a Milton Mango bagger?
Speaker 2: That's going to give me for a while. You've heard
Speaker 2: about what people say on the doors. It'd be the
Speaker 2: same from Roma to all sorts of places. Is it crime?
Speaker 2: Is it cost of living? Is it housing? What's the
Speaker 2: thing that Queensland desperately needs.
Speaker 5: We're saying to people the battle lines for the election
Speaker 5: is after a decade of this mob, things better or
Speaker 5: worse when it comes to youth crime, health, housing and
Speaker 5: cost of living, and who's got the right plans to
Speaker 5: do something about it. And tonight you saw earlier on
Speaker 5: the kind of talent that we've got in our team.
Speaker 5: We've got a generation of candidates who understand their communities
Speaker 5: and increasingly people are saying I've had enough and they
Speaker 5: want to know that there is a better way, and
Speaker 5: we're charting that better course. So for every one of
Speaker 5: the four crises that we've outlined, we've also put forward
Speaker 5: our solutions. So let me be clear. If government changes
Speaker 5: by the end of the year, the making Queensland Safer
Speaker 5: laws will be laws. It'll be the first bit of
Speaker 5: legislation we take to the Parliament be passed by the
Speaker 5: end of the year. It will remove detention as the
Speaker 5: last resort. It'll rewrite the Youth Justice Act, so we
Speaker 5: will change the sentencing provisions to put the rights of
Speaker 5: the victims head of the rights of the offenders. And
Speaker 5: we're going to fix that broken system, that pipeline that's
Speaker 5: coming through because things have got to change, and for
Speaker 5: all of those crises, we've mapped out a solution.
Speaker 2: I want to ask David the bloker question, why do
Speaker 2: you want to be premier? And I don't mean that
Speaker 2: in the soft way, because you know that I would
Speaker 2: like a change too. I'm asking you, the bloke, to
Speaker 2: every other normal person in this room and watching, why
Speaker 2: do you want to be premier? Because I want people
Speaker 2: to have hope again.
Speaker 5: And I want my dad, who's a farmer, to know
Speaker 5: that he's not going to have a different set of
Speaker 5: regulation and rules and anti Dam's agenda. I want my sister,
Speaker 5: who runs a small business to know that there's not
Speaker 5: going to be those increasing costs. I want my mates
Speaker 5: to know that when they put their kids to bed
Speaker 5: at night, they don't have to make a decision whether
Speaker 5: or not to hide the keys under a pillow or
Speaker 5: leave them at the front door. And I wanted people
Speaker 5: to know that when they pick up a phone that
Speaker 5: there's going to be an MBO that turns up. We're
Speaker 5: a hell of a lot better than what we're getting
Speaker 5: at the moment. This remains the best state in the country,
Speaker 5: and I want people to know that despite the fact
Speaker 5: I point out that we've got a rubbish government. All
Speaker 5: the fundamentals of this place.
Speaker 2: Are rock solid.
Speaker 5: You know, we've got agriculture, we've got mining, we've got tourism.
Speaker 5: People are looking at us, they're looking to headquarter businesses
Speaker 5: here if we get the mechanics right. But it won't
Speaker 5: happen if we keep changing taxations and regulations. It won't happen.
Speaker 5: If we have more victims of crime than anywhere else.
Speaker 1: But if we get that.
Speaker 5: Fundamentals right, mate, this place is prime for great things.
Speaker 2: Good man, Thank you so much, David Christopher, and good luck,
Speaker 2: good luck to your team. Thank you for the Queen
Speaker 2: stated things. Thank you, Glenn Hotel. We'll see you again
Speaker 2: in the great effects of the people. Are happy. Im
Speaker 2: still coming here in September. We'll see it, Murim tell
Speaker 2: here's the World Report.
