1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Oliver Peterson ABC Perth Radio Drive presenters with us alo 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Oli Heather. 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 2: I don't know why you're complaining about the traffic trying 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: to get to the stadium in Auckland. You just take 5 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: the chopper, wouldn't you. 6 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: I did you send it over because I was borrowing 7 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: from of it for you? 8 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? That I'll fly in for Origin. How does that? Oh? 9 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: I just love how low did you guys are? And 10 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: you love to point it out all the time. Now, 11 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: Angus Taylor has made his opening move. 12 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 2: Water is it Well. He's really put front and center 13 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: the migration question and that is something he's clearly going 14 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: to focus on very quickly. But he's also taken a 15 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: shot at the government for in the midst of the 16 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: Liberal chaos on Friday and the announcement of Taylor as 17 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 2: the new leader of the Liberal Party, the government just 18 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: very quietly released its findings into what it may have 19 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: to do moving forward in terms of the imports that 20 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 2: we decided to bring into this country from other places 21 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: that might not be as interested in the environment as 22 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: Australia is these days. And they're talking about and floating 23 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: the idea see which way the wind blows about carbon 24 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: tarot now Taylor has shot that down immediately, saying Australians 25 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: just simply do not want to pay more for what 26 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: they need to import from a foreign country, so he 27 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: wants to put that on the agenda. He also has 28 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: taken aim at the federal government or the amount of 29 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: money that the public sector is currently spending in Australia's 30 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: thinking it needs to reduce an expenditure and obviously try 31 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: and bring debt under control. The IMF meanwhile, has also 32 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: had a crack today Heather at a couple of Australian 33 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: states and territories, namely Victoria and the Northern Territory for 34 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: the state of its books and saying that the governments 35 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: are being irresponsible in the amount of money that they 36 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: are spending in their states. 37 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: Now, the congestion charge that's being mooted for Sydney, how. 38 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: Much, well they're not putting an actual price on it, 39 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: but what they're saying is the more popular roads in 40 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: the CBD should have dynamic pricing, a bit like when 41 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: you get into a rideshare. Right when you get into 42 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: an uber and everybody wants the uber at the same time, 43 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: it costs a little bit more. But if everybody wants 44 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: to ride on the same road in Sydney at the 45 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: same time, Well guess what you get to pay for it? Now. 46 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: Sydney is described by its own Premiere of New South Wales, 47 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: Chris Mens's, toll Mania, and I think that's a very 48 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: app description. There are so many toll roads now in 49 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: Sydney and they never seem to want to take the 50 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: tolls off although they were meant to. So this is 51 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: currently being denied by Premier Men's He doesn't want to 52 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: introduce specific dynamic pricing structures and tolls into the CBD, 53 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: but it's something London's done, and it's something that obviously 54 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: as we try and get out of our cars and 55 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: get onto public transport. Heather that obviously these major capital 56 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: cities in the world like Sydney and Perth and about 57 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: Auckland will consider. 58 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: Well, Auckland's already considering. I mean we've discussed this. I 59 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: think I think we've broadly come to the conclusion that 60 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: we need to do it. I mean, how's Sidney going 61 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: to react to it? 62 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: Just borrow your chopper, get the early copper and get 63 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 2: to the stadium. 64 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: Hey, tell me about these protest laws and you're part 65 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: of the world. 66 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: Well, this is interesting, right, So we've brought this in. 67 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: I didn't think anybody saw it was coming in wa 68 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: where I am in Perth, and they're looking to introduce 69 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: these these beefed up protest laws where the police may 70 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: be able to a sanction whether a protest goes ahead 71 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: or not. Now they already have that, saying that this 72 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: is about the idea of it not being based on sexuality, 73 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: on religion, on people's beliefs. Yet I just find it 74 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: a little bit old. They're saying it's in relation to 75 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: what happened in Bondi and the terror attack we had 76 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: here last month in Perth, But I think the police 77 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 2: already have these laws and the concern that he's being 78 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: raised by the Greens in particular, and I think it's 79 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 2: a fair question that they're actually asking her that I 80 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: can't believe. I'm saying that is are the police going 81 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: to ultimately decide what can and cannot go ahead in 82 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: terms of what they view is a reason to protest 83 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: or not. And I think in our country and your country, 84 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: the fact that we do have protests and it is 85 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: a right under our democracies should be respected and it 86 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: should be respected by the protesters, don't get me wrong, 87 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: and I think they have a little bit to answer 88 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: for themselves here, but police saying what can and cannot 89 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: go ahead. If it's going to be within the laws 90 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: of holding a peaceful protest, surely it goes ahead. YEP. 91 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: I agree with you on that, Ollie. Thank you very much, 92 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: Olli Peterson, ABC Perth Radio Drive presenter.
