I think you've I don't think 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: we've had it about twenty years now. 14 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been alive for it. Anyway, 15 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: Look you'll get it too, and don't worry about it now. Jeez. 16 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. However bad your day is, it's 17 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: worse with Optus, isn't it. 18 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Stephen Rue would be ruining the 19 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: decision pardon the partner taking on the job of the 20 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 2: CEO of op this because yet another triple zero outage 21 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: on the weekend, and it was for quite some time 22 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: as well, from about three o'clock on that Saturday or 23 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: Sunday morning. It wasn't the end three Sunday morning till 24 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: about midday Sunday in the Dapdo area, so we're talking 25 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 2: around Woollongong, about an hour and a half south of Sydney. 26 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: The Optus network went down in regards to triple zero 27 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: phone calls. Nine affected phone calls, with that one person 28 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: deciding when they needed an ambulance to actually use a 29 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: different phone that was an Optus and they got connected 30 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: straight through. Police have done the welfare checks on the 31 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 2: other eight. Everybody else is okay, but this is just terrible. 32 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: They do not know how or why this one has happened, 33 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: but it makes you wonder there are severe problems aren't 34 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: there now with the entire network if this has happened 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: again within a week. Stephen ru Tomorrow Tuesday will be 36 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: meeting the Federal Communications Minister Anika Wells, who's returning from 37 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: her delegation being part of the United Nations gathering there 38 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 2: in New York. And you could just imagine how hostile 39 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: those conversations are going to be. 40 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they must be losing customers at a rate 41 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: or not. 42 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: Say absolutely they would be, but they were when the 43 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: data hack, which is not that long ago. It's just 44 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: over a year ago. So look, the thing about Australia 45 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: is if you live outside of the metropolitan area of 46 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: one of our capital cities, chances are you're not a 47 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: customer of Optics or Votaphone anyway, you're with Telstra because 48 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 2: you've got that national network. But this is going to 49 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: cause significant damage to the customer relationship between the telco 50 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: and Australians. And look there's calls over in this country 51 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: as well that the license should be taken off Optus, 52 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: which is obviously on now by Singtel, the Singaporean back company, 53 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: and redistributed to somebody else. So I don't know that 54 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 2: the government will go that far, but I'll tell you 55 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: what some of the language from Prime Minister Albanizi and 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: Anika Well's the Communications Minister. They are not impressed. 57 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: I can imagine. Now, run me through what Clive Palmer's done. 58 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: Oh he just loves, particularly going to war with where 59 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: I live in Western Australia, the WA government. So he 60 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: was effectively trying to quote bankrupt the state with a 61 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: claim that he made and legislation was rushed in during 62 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 2: the COVID years in regards to some of the iron 63 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: Ore royalties and the royalties that he had to pay 64 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: to Western Australia. The WA government claimed that this was 65 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: going to again bankrupt the state the tune of thirty 66 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: billion dollars. He didn't like it, so he took it 67 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: on in all the courts in Australia. It's been thrown out, 68 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: but he's not happy with that. He's going all the 69 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: way to a court in Switzerland to try and take 70 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: on effectively the Australian government. His argument is that because 71 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: of what happened through the COVID years, it affected his trade. 72 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: But because he's an Australian citizen, he's not entitled to 73 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: even basically take this on in the court. So look, 74 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: he just enjoys the theater. Let's be blunt header. He 75 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: enjoys the show. He never liked the fact that he 76 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: wasn't allowed in toyway, particularly during those COVID years, to 77 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: run his businesses. So this is all, I believe, a 78 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: bit of a charade. But yeah, he's still trying to 79 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: get thirty billion dollars out of Western Australia. Are nice? 80 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: Trya hey, do you believe that solar panels can add 81 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: twenty three thousand dollars to the value of your house. 82 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: Oh see, this is what I find fascinating. Now do 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: you have much sun in New Zealand? But he's not. 84 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: Really wrong with you. 85 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: You might have the blenderslow carts, but do you get 86 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: any suns? I don't know what I'd rather, but I 87 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: thought this was really interesting because we just had all 88 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: of this. You know, it comes out all the time, right, 89 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: but the annual what's everybody looking up? What was everybody 90 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: searching for when they're trying to buy a home and 91 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: it's down to granny flats and pulls? Now again, do 92 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: you have pools and us? 93 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: You're a pain? 94 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, that I can't help myself today. But I 95 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: find this interesting, and I it's not something that we 96 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: really consider that you would look at that. But when 97 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: you have a federal government policy at the moment, which 98 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: is all about giving your rebates for putting sol and 99 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 2: batteries in your home, you can probably understand where this 100 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: sort of research comes out. But twenty three thousand dollars 101 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: extra to your home having a few panels on the roof. 102 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: I went to Google Earth to just have a look 103 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: in my street. Now I don't have panels, but I 104 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: think I'm in the minority, Like there's about twelve houses 105 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: in my street and there's only two or three of 106 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 2: us that don't have panels. So look, I might be 107 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: missing out on something, but it's going to cost you 108 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: more than twenty three thousand dollars to install these things. 109 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: So I don't know if it adds twenty three thousand dollars. 110 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: I just think it's the clean energy mob to try 111 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: to get us to all sign up. And by the way, 112 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 2: and as for all governments around the world, it's your 113 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: job to be able to provide the infrastructure to keep 114 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: the lights on, not down to homeowners like turn it up. 115 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: They're just you know, shrugging their shoulders and saying it's 116 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: back on us to do it. 117 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: Oh, I love you, Ollie.
