1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: The Australian Liberals have pulled the pin and they have

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: changed their leader. Angus Taylor forced out Susan Lee with

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: a vote thirty four to seventeen.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: We must look ahead and put the disagreements of the

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: recent past behind us and most importantly, hold a bad

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: labor government to account by putting Australians first.

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Now, Charles Croucher is nine News Chief Political edits and

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: with us. Hello Charles, Hey, Heather mate, it's good to.

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: Chat to you again. Now tell me is he the guy?

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: Are you convinced by him?

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Can he win an election?

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 4: I don't think you can win an election anytime soon.

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 4: But he's in a better situation than Susan Lee was.

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 4: The polls just became too loud even nine months into

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: her time as leader after a disastrous election last year.

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 4: Angus Taylor more from the John Key or Chris Luxen

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 4: mold of Conservative leader. He's promoting a country that is

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 4: low immigration, more homes and lower taxes. Now, he was

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 4: Shadow Treasurer at the last election under Peter Dutton and

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: that wasn't the policy they took then. So he's promising

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: a change that would defy what he's done in the past,

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: but enough of his colleagues believe he's the person to

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: at least get them out of the doldrums. But it

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: is a pretty deep doldrums right now.

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: What do you make of the fact that Susan Lee

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 1: has decided to quit politics all together?

27
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: She's been around for twenty five years in the building,

28
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: is a grandmother, has a nice pension to retire to.

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 4: I don't think she wants anything to do with this

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: rebuild at the Liberal Party if she's not there, and

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: what she has left Angus Taylor is a hell of

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: a by election in her seat. It's one that only

33
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: she has ever won for the Liberal Party. It's a

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: huge seat that stretches from almost the entirety of the

35
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: New South Wales Victoria Board us so a big seat

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: that will be running at with that five different parties

37
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: will think they are a chance of winning that seat.

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: It will be a first test for Angus Taylor and

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: a really tough test as well. So that's a little

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: middle finger on the way at the door from Susan Lee.

41
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: Did I see Pauline Hanson say that they're going to

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: contest that seat?

43
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they would be a real chance there. This

44
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: is a red All seat. It's one where there's a

45
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: lot of dissatisfaction being on the Murray River, a big

46
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: river system. It's one where water is really important. Angus

47
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: Taylor is a former water minister and there was troubles

48
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 4: there during his time. I think one nation will believe

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: they're a chance of winning that. The Nationals, the Junior

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: Coalition Party, it's their old seat. They'll want it back

51
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: sousainly on off them twenty five years ago. And then

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: you throw in these Teal independent movement that's become a

53
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: big rage here in Australia. Plus Shooters, Fishes and Farmers Party.

54
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 4: It really is a licorice all sorts kind of seat

55
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: and will be a fascinating watch for the next six weeks.

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: Charles, did I see you into being Bill Gates the

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: other day?

58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 4: Yeah? I did, your good work mate.

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: Did you believe him?

60
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: Look, he had an opportunity to back out and didn't,

61
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: which I appreciated. As for whether he was telling the truth,

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: he appeared to be. But whether you believe me, who

63
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 4: met him for twenty minutes, or his wife who's known

64
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: him for a bit longer, I'll leave that to anyone

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 4: that's watching or listening.

66
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: Draw your own conclusions, Charles Nice to make of that?

67
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 4: What you will say?

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: Look after yourself Charles Crouch and nine News chief Political Editor.
