1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Murray Old's Australia correspondent.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 2: Hi Murray, Very good afternoon.

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Elbow visiting the Governor General on Friday. I wonder

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: what for well.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: One does not like to boast, But I did give

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: you a sneak preview forty eight hours ago. I just

7
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: forgot where I read it. Afternoon this afternoon, nine newspapers

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: over here are saying, definitely tomorrow morning, Elbow's got the

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: uber booked to go from his canber residence to the

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: Governor General's place and there he will invite the Governor

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: General to dissolve the government and he can call an election.

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: It looks like to be May the third. Now, these

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: sources at nine newspapers have spoken to unauthorized to speak

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: to the media. It says, emphasize the plan was changed

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: when cyclone Alfred belted into Queensland. So the timeline is

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: as I suggested on Tuesday. Tonight, Peter Dutton will stand

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: up in Parliament and give his budget. In reply address,

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: He's going to reveal policies we understand on things like housing,

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: gas supply, migration. But it's all going to get blown

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: out of the water if Elbow hops on the car

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning and go and goes to call an election

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: May the third I think I've mentioned and the Coalition,

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: by the way, not since nineteen hundred and thirty one

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: has a one term government been kicked out. That was

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: the election that cost the then Prime Minister Melbourne Stanley

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: Bruce or Stanley Melbourne Bruce, I beg your pardon is

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: his own seat. So that happened back in the Great Depression.

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: And it's really really difficult. Notwithstanding the fact the Labor

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: government has sort of been not that flash, it must

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: be admitted the Coalition does need around twenty seats right

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: to form majority government and that does seem a real

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: big stretch.

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: So you because I was going to say, it's too

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: close to call at this point and there's so much

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: to go, water to go under the bridge. But if

36
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: you look at the plans that the you know, Elbow's

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: plan versus what Dunton announced on to gb this morning

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: over in Sydney, which was immediate effect petrol. It cuts

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: to petrol excise, right, I mean that's gonna help people.

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: Now.

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: Is that smarter than what Elbinezi did?

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: Who knows? It depends, It depends. I mean, we all

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: need fuel it's gonna save you fourteen bucks a week now, Well,

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: it may appeal to a lot of people, and as

45
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: he points out, Peter Dutton points out the Prime Minister's

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: tax cuts of about seventy cents a day or something,

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: it's not the biggest tax cut you've ever seen. I

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: mean put it this way. I mean they used to

49
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: say your tax cut was worth a coup of coffee

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: and a sandwich. Well, I mean that's not even worth

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: the salt Bebby you put on the sanger for goodness sake.

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: So look, it depends how hard up people are and

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: people are hurting. There's no doubt about it. The taxpayers

54
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: will take home an extra five bucks a week from

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: next year under the Prime Minister's plan, and the both

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: sides are spending money we haven't got and are very

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: much unlikely to see, particularly if Donald Trump pulls the

58
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: Tara flever again.

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, and you've got your deficits for the next

60
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: decade to worry about too.

61
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 2: Oh, don't even go there.

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: God, Hey, this Australian he's not going to care or

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: she's not going to care. I don't know who it

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: is at this point, but apparently won quite a lot

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: of money on an American reality show, is that right?

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: Indeed is a guy called David Genet or Gannett g

67
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: E Nat And look, I must confess I'm not familiar

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: with mister Gennett's work, but he's nicknamed the Golden God.

69
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: I had to look at him online. He's got biceps

70
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: the size of grapefruit and his pecks at the size

71
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: of bloody basketballs. And he's been on this national television

72
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: show in America where he has won nearly ten million

73
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Australian dollars. It's called something Where the hell is it? Here?

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: In my notes, it's some island show where they're all

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: locked away and you've got to do stunts and whatnot. Anyway,

76
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: he's emerged as the winner. He's previously beat on these

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: similar shows here in Australia. Again, sadly, I can't report

78
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: on his expertise one bay or the other because I'd

79
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: rather pluck my eyes out than watch that stuff. But

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: suffice to say, mister Gennett is just off to the

81
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: bank with a check and an amazing Gregory peck for

82
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: going on Telly and basically shooting down everybody else. So

83
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: well done him. Apparently he's a model in Perth.

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: There you go, and ten million dollars is not to

85
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: be scoffed at.

86
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: No kidding, Harry's a lot of time in the Tanning

87
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 2: cellon boat.

88
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560
