1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: From our don't waste to Christis file. Is it possible,

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: as government's handling are thus far of oil events, might

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: well see them rewarded with an increased level of support

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: as the election draws closer. Initial reaction Think about this,

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: When the war broke out and oil went up, whil

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: was twofold right one around the economy, the rebound, the

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: resurgence that we had seen may well be yet again off.

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: As Nick was telling us a moment ago and then

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: two ah, the poor government work their butts off, trim

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: the budget, changed the laws, got rid of the mess

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: at last was seeing the fruits of the labour and

12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: bang epic fury. Next question, so far unanswered here is

13
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: will the government of the day take the political heat

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: because of the cost of living being up even though

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: it's none of their fault. Partial answer comes to us

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: from Australia and their polling, and that answer is no.

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: The war and its associated economic artworkings falls entirely on America.

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: In fact, polling in America shows the same thing. This

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: is on Trump. As I said last week, New Zealand

20
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: versus Australia in terms of messaging and organization and reaction

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: and action it's not even a contest. Australia is a

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: hot mess of confusion, claiming counterclaim in a growing bitch

23
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: session between the state and Canberra. Here it would seem

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: close to faultless. Now for those upset over the lack

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: of free money so far, you might not agree with it,

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: but you can't blame the messaging or say it hasn't

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: been explained to you. Yesterday's Allen g explanation for the

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: Prime Minster on this program, for example, you said it

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: either stacks up for it doesn't. And that's what we

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: desperately need more of. Not ideology, not fields, not obsessions,

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: just stats, numbers and facts. Does it work? Does it not?

32
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: The oil numbers yesterday seem reassuringly well organized. We are

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: clearly hustling and so far it's clearly working. Messaging about

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: what it isn't I this isn't COVID, This isn't about

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: sourdough or animals and windows. This isn't about hugs and

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: kindness and all the other bs. It's about adults and

37
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: organization and getting stuff done as best you can in

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: an environment that is one largely beyond your control, and

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: two in a country that is at the end of

40
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: a very long supply chain at the bottom of the world.

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: Although we wouldn't wish any of this, of course, on

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: our worst enemy. So far, so good, and for what

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: looks like to my mind, a seriously competent government, and

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: one that might get some support simply because when it

45
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: hit the fan, they were up for it and not

46
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: making it up. For more from the My Asking Breakfast,
