Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people, a lot.
Speaker 2: Of people, but good fun for good call. We raised

Speaker 8: In my house.
Speaker 6: I like a text that you're on the way.
Speaker 5: You need a lot of warning.
Speaker 2: Well, of course I was in Melbourne that morning, so
Speaker 2: I flew up to be in Sydney for the backyard cricket.
Speaker 2: Toto didn't get any warning though she was a bit
Speaker 2: Toto the Dog was a bit freaked out, guess.
Speaker 9: And if you didn't make it there would it be
Speaker 9: a text to Clint telling him where the spare key
Speaker 9: is just to let himself in.
Speaker 2: I think there's a few people there.
Speaker 3: He's got in one of those rocks.
Speaker 6: Now it will pick it.

Speaker 2: relationship with friends.
Speaker 4: So living the living the good life.

Speaker 7: of a sudden, they both spoil you more because they
Speaker 7: want to be the favorite.
Speaker 5: So Toto's live in the dream.
Speaker 9: Yes, you need to absolutely, you need to get the
Speaker 9: FEDS to check her for wires like it, and gave

Speaker 3: Because you were you were bowling at pace.
Speaker 4: I was having you fun. Haven't rolled the shoulder over

Speaker 6: It's fairly good.
Speaker 10: But I had my doubts because I donly seen a
Speaker 10: few other PMS in action.
Speaker 2: Well, John Howard's regarded as his greatest regret. Stuff under
Speaker 2: bowling now on the subcontinent was pretty bad.
Speaker 8: Kind of hid his feet.
Speaker 7: Did you have that kind of nervous energy about you?
Speaker 7: In case you became the next internet meme?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: I hadn't rolled an arm over from a long touch

Speaker 8: At once and that stuck.
Speaker 7: You're going to be walking around all your press conferences today.

Speaker 3: You don't get that on ABC or three A W
Speaker 3: do you don't, but you.
Speaker 4: Should more of it.
Speaker 8: The milksh I think that will be a huge success.
Speaker 8: It's a banger and the kids love.
Speaker 6: It well the man behind it hopefully on the show
Speaker 6: with us tomorrow.
Speaker 8: Where's it from Perth?
Speaker 6: W Abo waboy, Joe, you are listening to Nomber one hundred.
Speaker 6: It is just gone nine past. Stay.
Speaker 9: You've got Jason Lauren Clints here and the PM Anthony
Speaker 9: Albanezi is with us this morning.
Speaker 6: Few issues we want to talk.
Speaker 9: About, including a few dollars throwing our way here in
Speaker 9: Melbourne to get us to the airport quicker.
Speaker 6: Before we get to that, though it's.
Speaker 7: Probably been the biggest story of the last twenty four hours,
Speaker 7: it's in our media. In the radio industry, there were
Speaker 7: some completely disgraceful comments made yesterday by radio broadcaster involving
Speaker 7: women's sport, in particular the Matilda's. I know you're a
Speaker 7: huge fan of the Matildas, like we all are. These
Speaker 7: incredible women and so many other incredible women in sport
Speaker 7: and women in general, who are deeply, deeply offended about
Speaker 7: what we said on radio, where do you sit.
Speaker 5: On it all?
Speaker 2: Look, they were just shocking comments that any anyone could
Speaker 2: think it, let alone say it completely unacceptable. The Tillies
Speaker 2: are just legends. They excited and brought together the whole country.
Speaker 2: The whole country was united in cheering for them. Women's
Speaker 2: and girls' sport has been a revolution in my lifetime
Speaker 2: in football, in soccer football. Afl W has a Governor General.
Speaker 2: Sam Mosston was one of the was the first woman
Speaker 2: appointed as an afl commissioner and she really drove the
Speaker 2: creation of AFLW. That's fantastic rugby league in Vegas in
Speaker 2: a couple of days time and there'll be a women's
Speaker 2: game there.
Speaker 8: It's fantastic.
Speaker 3: They're not only clumsy their offensive comments.
Speaker 6: What would you say?
Speaker 8: He also made some comments as well about.
Speaker 2: Royal You know, we need to respect each other and
Speaker 2: disrespecting more than half the population is not on it.
Speaker 10: So blokes out there, very much in the minority that
Speaker 10: might think that's funny.
Speaker 3: What's your message? Not funny?
Speaker 8: It's inventive. And these are great athletes.
Speaker 2: They performed so well to get to the Semis in
Speaker 2: the World Cup. But even if they didn't. So what
Speaker 2: they're doing their best and they're great athletes and they're
Speaker 2: better footballers than all the blokes who be critiquing them.
Speaker 8: Frankly, exactly right.
Speaker 7: We've had Olympians on this morning, We've had athletes, and
Speaker 7: I think the general feeling is that it's just archaic,
Speaker 7: it's outdated and it's disgraceful, and I'm so glad that
Speaker 7: it's been dealt with accordingly, because there's no room for
Speaker 7: it in the media space in the world. Actually, forget
Speaker 7: about the media in general. These conversations shouldn't be being at.
Speaker 8: I make this point as well. Remember the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Remember as the gold medals came through, they had something
Speaker 2: in common. And certainly the Matildas are more successful historically
Speaker 2: than our men's team have been. Elise Perry statistically is
Speaker 2: probably the greatest cricketer maybe Bradman, but he didn't bowl.
Speaker 2: The greatest cricketer that Australia has produced.
Speaker 9: Hey, well we've gotcha. I know it'll be a big
Speaker 9: few days for you. My gut says you're going to
Speaker 9: call an election this weekend, so you break.
Speaker 8: My birthday on Sunday.
Speaker 5: Happy birth.
Speaker 6: How old are we turning?
Speaker 3: Candles thirty five.
Speaker 8: That's that's forties.
Speaker 7: I wish do you just get the one candle that
Speaker 7: sings Happy Birthday instead of the full maut Yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Don't want sixty two candles sixty fifty there's no root
Speaker 2: for the cake.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I look at photos of me, so ten years ago,
Speaker 2: I'm fitter than I was when I was fifty.
Speaker 5: So do you look great?
Speaker 2: I feel great, getting much fit for the election out
Speaker 2: and about Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 5: Change your fitness regime.
Speaker 2: And a time like this, well, I'm off the grog completely.
Speaker 8: From from New z to Hard, I did.
Speaker 4: I went, I went real hard.
Speaker 6: We all had that thought. On the first.
Speaker 3: I did have.
Speaker 2: I was at a distillers in Richmond, in Tasmania outside
Speaker 2: of Hobart on Saturday, and we're announcing increased support for
Speaker 2: the small distillers and small brewers. So I did have
Speaker 2: to was there. It would be rude to not have
Speaker 2: a little Yeah, that doesn't count a little a little
Speaker 2: shot of whiskey.
Speaker 8: So that apart from that, well done. Good.
Speaker 6: He's breaking out the checkbook too.
Speaker 5: You will have a date for the election yet going.
Speaker 6: To tell us on his birthday?
Speaker 5: You're going to announce on your birthday. No, no, not
Speaker 5: a birthday present for the rest.
Speaker 8: I announced it when I'm ready.
Speaker 5: The power the boss you.
Speaker 8: But everywhere three years is too short.
Speaker 2: You're saying the same thing, fixed terms four years is
Speaker 2: what we should have. That's what all the Satan Territory
Speaker 2: governments have. But you know, we'll see.
Speaker 9: I've got a concern about one of the promises. You're
Speaker 9: offering billions to fix or do a rail link out
Speaker 9: to the Melbourne Airport. I just think by the time
Speaker 9: we build it, shouldn't.
Speaker 6: We be hovering.
Speaker 5: It's taking times that showed.
Speaker 9: Beyond two thousand, promised me a cunts by the time
Speaker 9: we like, how long would that take?
Speaker 8: Watching too many back to the future Michael J. Fox
Speaker 8: style out of the airport.
Speaker 9: I know you're promising big cash to get it going,
Speaker 9: and God knows we need it here in Melbourne. How
Speaker 9: long would it realistically take to build something like that.
Speaker 2: It does take a while, but the planning is done yep.
Speaker 2: And so by the benefit of really upgrading Sunshine Station,
Speaker 2: what you will do as well as provide benefits not
Speaker 2: just for people going to the airport, but for the
Speaker 2: upgrade will help for people from Geelong Bendigo Ballarat to
Speaker 2: get linked into the Metro line that will open later
Speaker 2: this year. So it will really improve the whole capacity
Speaker 2: of the network.
Speaker 5: We do need it.
Speaker 10: I mean victorians will tell you this has been spoken
Speaker 10: about for years and years and years. Can the Alan
Speaker 10: government actually pull this off?
Speaker 2: Yes they can, Okay, And we've got seven billion dollars
Speaker 2: total of commore funding, Jacinta Alan announced as well as
Speaker 2: part of this we've been working it through. She's bringing
Speaker 2: forward funding so that construction can start next year. We've
Speaker 2: spoken with the airport. There was this whole dispute over
Speaker 2: whether it be above.
Speaker 8: Ground on below ground and just get it done. We've
Speaker 8: got rid of all of that, so ready to rock
Speaker 8: and roll.
Speaker 7: Great, let's go. Because the traffic to the airport in Melbourne.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I go there a few times going there
Speaker 2: this morning.
Speaker 7: We were having some discussion about this this morning and
Speaker 7: do you fly on the Spirit of Australia.
Speaker 5: Are all virgin or have you got your own plane?
Speaker 5: You're getting around.
Speaker 8: I've got the Royal Australian Airports.
Speaker 6: Have they fixed the hair dry situation?
Speaker 2: After Kevin Rudd, I look like I.
Speaker 4: Wish thanks very much. That's so nicest thing you've ever
Speaker 4: said to me.
Speaker 10: When we told Lauren you flew on the RAF jets,
Speaker 10: she thought it was a fighter jet that does loop
Speaker 10: the loops.
Speaker 6: We're just going down to Nova. Will hit your check
Speaker 6: button now drop you down there. Promise.
Speaker 9: We've got to take a quick break. We are on
Speaker 9: the air with Elbow this morning. The Prime Minister's with us.
Speaker 9: We've got a couple more things we want to talk
Speaker 9: to you about after the break, and then we've got
Speaker 9: a parting gift for you, something to take home to kill.
Speaker 5: I think you need it.
Speaker 4: It's just seven a fast eight teasing now.
Speaker 9: The Prime Minister is with us this morning. Anthony Albanezi
Speaker 9: on the air at NOB one hundred. You've got Jason
Speaker 9: Lauren Clints here as well.
Speaker 6: Albow.
Speaker 9: I want to talk America, America, America. Yes, how was
Speaker 9: the How was the phone call with Trumpy?
Speaker 6: It was?
Speaker 2: It was pretty good, A bit surreal because that voice
Speaker 2: is long, so unique, and the speaking style comes through.
Speaker 2: There's lots of adjectives like you see in the public discourse.
Speaker 3: Did he say it on the phone?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's on the phone with the video takers.
Speaker 5: There No, no, there's no video call.
Speaker 8: So it's in a secure room. Yeah, and it was.
Speaker 2: It was really constructive and positive. Last of for the
Speaker 2: last one lasted for about forty minutes.
Speaker 8: Forty minutes, Yeah, it was. It was longer than what
Speaker 8: it was, which is a good sign.
Speaker 9: Were you trying to get him off after thirty No? No, no, no, John,
Speaker 9: I'm going into a car park.
Speaker 3: Do you call him or does he call you?
Speaker 2: Oh, there's neither of us through.
Speaker 3: You just get past the phone.
Speaker 6: We're ready.
Speaker 2: There's people on a on a system, a secure line,
Speaker 2: and it's a White House person speaking to the security
Speaker 2: in the media.
Speaker 5: Parliament set you up and is it friendly or is
Speaker 5: it all?
Speaker 8: It was really friendly. It was really friendly. It was warm.
Speaker 2: I congratulated him on his inauguration. We talked about a
Speaker 2: range of things, including Jordan Malatter had won the first
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl, Former South in the Junior.
Speaker 8: So I worked that in.
Speaker 2: You want to try to develop a relationship with anyone,
Speaker 2: and talking to someone who's a world leader is no
Speaker 2: different at some level from human relationships that we developed
Speaker 2: outside the studio.
Speaker 6: He chat you bring up his new best.
Speaker 8: That wasn't raised.
Speaker 5: He seemed to like you. You did the said nice
Speaker 5: things about you what.
Speaker 2: We had a really warm discussion and that's important. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm representing Australia when I'm having that conversation. President Trump
Speaker 2: and I come from very different perspectives.
Speaker 6: Let's keep him on OURSEFS, that's obvious, but.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that you can't work in our national
Speaker 2: interest and it's in our interest to have a good
Speaker 2: relationship with the United States, but also it is in
Speaker 2: their interests as well. We bring a lot to the relationship.
Speaker 3: You've been to the White House?
Speaker 8: I certainly have, So what's it?
Speaker 3: What's the day call?
Speaker 10: Like the facilities, I'm just thinking of comparing houses.
Speaker 8: It's well, it's a lot bigger, to say the least.
Speaker 2: And we had dinner where we had an official dinner
Speaker 2: at the White House where there were many hundreds and
Speaker 2: hundreds I think there were about five hundred there in
Speaker 2: a big marquee that was That was pretty cool.
Speaker 6: You take a bottle of wine.
Speaker 10: Some favorites have to take a gift, some Capri favoritess
Speaker 10: you don't.
Speaker 5: Take a gift.
Speaker 2: Well, you take a gift, yeah, but they're sort of
Speaker 2: exchange behind the scenes. But we had dinner the night
Speaker 2: before with just myself and Jody and Joe and Jill
Speaker 2: Biden just before us in the in the west wing.
Speaker 5: That's pretty four of you.
