Yeah, 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: she won in the sixties, so you know, it's a 44 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: bit of a it was a bit of a shock. 45 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: It was good. Don't know if you saw parliament. Parliament 46 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 2: come together pretty well. I had to compliment everyone, including 47 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: you know your mates, you know, David seymore on them. 48 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 2: I have that Shane Jones that it's quite funny. Really 49 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: we're all going at each other one day. But if 50 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: you can't come together for something like that, I suppose 51 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: we're all keys. 52 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: That's right, Well, we're all keywis in the en. Now look, 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: I mean it might be premature me asking this, and 54 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: so I'm sorry because it is slightly callous. But obviously 55 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: there will be a by election at some stage. Have 56 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: you turned your mind to it or is it too early? 57 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: I will tell you that if we haven't even you 58 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: know like it just you know Penny he Nady obviously 59 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: is the candidate and he you know, he's taking it 60 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: really badly. You know, those people have gett a bit 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: shocked by that because some people would have would say 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: he was done out of them knew there was sea, 63 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: but you know he's saw tasks like a sister.
