Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: And Murray Old as well us from Australia this afternoon, diet.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: I, Murray, Hi Jack, good afterninge to you.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: And the latest poll has the Opposition gaining on the government.

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Oh big time.

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: This is pretty big figures for the opposition. That Peter

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 3: Dutton the key takeaways. This has come out of a

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 3: Resolve poll fifty five percent of the Australian population says

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 3: the national outlook is going to worsen. That's not a

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: good stat for Labor, which is trying to portray itself

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: as the party that's going to deliver you tax cuts

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: in the better standard of living while driving down prices.

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 3: The coalition's primary vote jack up from thirty six to

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: thirty eight percent. Labour's stuck on twenty eight percent. That's

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: the lowest level since Albanzi became Prime minister last election.

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: And this is frankly astonishing.

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: Peter Dutton is now in front of Anthony Albanesi as

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: preferred prime minister. The margin skinny thirty five to thirty four.

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: But twelve months ago Elbow was in front of Dutton

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: forty six points to twenty five, So labor on the

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: nose big time and people are clearly liking what Peter

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: Dutton's out there sproving.

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the interesting is because Peter Dunton is a

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: divisive character. Right, people absolutely love them or really don't

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: like them.

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely right, But he seems to be playing a

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: pretty mean hand of cards the primary vote over here,

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: because it's a silly voting system. It's all you know,

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: with preferences and so on. But the bottom line is

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: it's fifty to fifty. Now, was Anthony Albini's he going

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: to call an early election? Well, I, this isn't going

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: to help confirm that in his own mind, households are

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: suffering from rising prices, higher interest rates. Fifty three percent

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: of voters have said the cost of living is the

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: single most important issue that will determine their votes whenever

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: the election's hell.

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Prime, Minister Elbow and Victoria premieer to

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: Cintra Ellen were both warned about the CFU in twenty

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: twenty two. That's the criminal infiltrated Union.

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: That's right, that's the construction.

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: Look look it's full title Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union.

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: So it's it's a huge union with lots of tentacles,

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: but the rotten apple and the barrel, we are told

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: is the construction portion of that, and not justin Victoria

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: where they've had problems for years and years and years.

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: Channel nine over here with sixty Minutes to sixty minutes

48
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: television show and Fairfax Media have done a really good

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: expose on this union and.

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: The results are frankly pretty shocking.

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: The allegations include that, you know, underworld criminals have got

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: special deals on tendering for building contracts, big building contracts,

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: government contracts. Vicky leaders have got armchair, cushy armchair jobs

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: on building sites, you know, sweeping brooms and yelling at

55
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: people whatever the hell they're.

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: Doing there, all of this under the nose of labor,

57
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: state and federal.

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: Now, the allegation, as you said, rightly point out back

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two, jacent to Allen as the premier.

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: Now, she wasn't back then.

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: She was actually, i think from memory, was she industrial

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: Relations minister back in twenty twenty two, and she was

63
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: send a very detailed set of allegations that said the

64
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 3: Construction Union was basically running crooked construction sites right across

65
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: the state. When nothing was done, the allegation was bumped

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: up to the federal government, which was added alban Easy

67
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: and still nothing done. And if you think it's confined

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: to Victoria, Channel nine, the reporter involved in all of

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: this says, you're cracking jokes just as bad in Sydney

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: and New South Wales.

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,520

78
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: but Mwanga won the competition for his Japanese club, so

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: he's a free agent.

80
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: The club said, what about some personal development?

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: What about shooting down to Brisbane and having a look

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: at the New South Wales setup because he's a because

00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: He's taken part in an opposing session at fallback up

93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,880
