1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love katsu chicken. There's my question for the morning,

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: who doesn't love katsu chicken? And with the katsu chicken

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: and the raps and the lasagna, David Seymour has saved

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: US one hundred and thirty million dollars and all the

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: monas and winges and whiners and hand ringers can say sorry.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't the end of the world after all. Several

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: crimes have been committed in the school lunch drama, which,

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: of course crime number one. It should never have been

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: a drama at all because the previous government, and yet

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: another example of their wasteful, haphazard way of doing things,

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: should never have got into the school lunch program business

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: in the first place, because when they did, they worked

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: out they couldn't afford it and therefore only gave it

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: to a few, and many of the few didn't actually

15
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: want the lunches, but they had to take them because

16
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: the kid who did want the lunch couldn't be made

17
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: to feel bad, so the other three hundred had to

18
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: eat the sandwiches with them. Crime number two. They only

19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: funded it until the election, thus making it a fiscal cliff.

20
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: David Seymour should have killed the thing completely. We got

21
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: talk down to what we have now, which is three

22
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: dollars a pop crime number three. All the hand ringers

23
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: who are pined over and over and over about how

24
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be any good and no one can food

25
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: for three dollars, kids would go hungry. It's a scandal.

26
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: So it went fast forward, the menus out, complete with

27
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: photos of food. Wouldn't you know it? For three bucks

28
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: you can do a pretty decent job your feed kids.

29
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: You save money. We have a lesson and expenditure and wastage,

30
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: and a government promise has been delivered. The lunches were

31
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: eight dollars sixty eight under labor, Now they're three. That's

32
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: quite the difference, isn't it. What cost almost half a

33
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: billion dollars now costs three hundred and twenty million. And

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: maybe the stories of the teachers helping themselves, or families

35
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: getting delivered the extras, or the farmers feeding it all

36
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: to the pigs will vanish along with the doubters who've

37
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: made it a pastime, if not a living, refusing to

38
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: believe a lot of what was done under labour couldn't

39
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: be done cheaper and better if only they paid attention

40
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: to detail and were driven more by practicality unless by

41
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: ideology and thought bubbles. For more from The Mic Asking Breakfast,
