I'm pleased to hear it. It's easy to be. Hey, 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: are you going to go on strike with everybody else 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: from ABC? 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 2: Well, that's something that we've been discussed before I came 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 2: and had a chat to you. 8 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 3: Look, I'm not a member of the union. 9 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: So I probably have to continue to do my show. 10 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 3: But will my colleagues be with me? I don't know. 11 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 3: I do not know. 12 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 2: So look as you and I talk right now, managers 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 2: here in Western Australia are in closed door meetings and 14 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: I guess we'll be told what happens moving forward. 15 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 3: But yeah, new experience for me too, Heather. 16 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, listen, cannot say how proud I am of 17 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: you for not being a union member, So go you 18 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: already winning. Now tell me about one nation. How's it 19 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: going well? 20 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 3: And doing very well? In South Australia. They may end 21 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: up with six seats. 22 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: That is quite a remarkable feed in the lower House 23 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: of the South Australian Legislative Assembly and they pold better 24 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: than the Liberal Party did on the weekend and what 25 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: a message this is sending to the Liberal Party right 26 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: across the country because Labour secured thirty eight percent of 27 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: the primary votes Pedemlanascus by the way, romp thing in 28 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: South Australia. 29 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 3: Everybody knew that was going to happen. 30 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: But one Nation's vote, right, This is primary vote surge 31 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 2: to twenty two percent. Now that is a nineteen point 32 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: four percent swing, right, that is huge. 33 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 3: So one in five people decided they vote for one nation. 34 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: Liberals trailed behind with a primary vote of just nineteen 35 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: percent down to sixteen percent. 36 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: Sixty percent of those votes counted the Liberal Party. 37 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: And this is obviously nothing new to anybody who listens 38 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: to your wonderful program, Heather. They're in awful strife at 39 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: the moment here in Australia. And if the warning signs 40 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: are not ringing loudly for Angus Taylor, this is what 41 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: could happen whenever we go to a federal election. So 42 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: watch now the retoric from the Liberal Party to start 43 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: to attack one Nation because ultimately, yeah, it's. 44 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 3: A protest vote. 45 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: The questions still have to be asked, who are your 46 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: candidates and what do you stand for? There's no policies 47 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: behind that. So look, the Libs have got a big 48 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: job in you we know that. But it is very, 49 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: very interest This result in South Australia was as the 50 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: polls predicted. And boy, oh boy, you'd hate to be 51 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: Angus Taylor today too. 52 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: Right now, listen, working from home this is just a 53 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: gentle encouragement, isn't it. 54 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: Well, you know what the messaging and it's probably the 55 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: same in New Zealand, but the messaging at the moment 56 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: from our government over fuel supply has been all over 57 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: the shop. But Chris Bowen used his platform yesterday on 58 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: the Insiders program here on the AVC to indicate it'd 59 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: be good for Australians to work from home if they 60 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: don't need to go to work. 61 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: But you know, we're a different situation than you know 62 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: the rest of the country. Tell you what around Perth 63 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: today and I've been in the city this morning. It's quiet. 64 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: Now Monday's a kind of quiet in Perth anyway, people 65 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 2: seem to work from home. But I was just talking 66 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: it again, this is anecdotally, but I was talking to 67 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: a good mate of mine that owned three coffee shops 68 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: in the middle of Perth, CBD and he said Olie, 69 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: we've been down ten to fifteen percent last week. 70 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 3: Like he's already starting to fret over this. 71 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: So look, Chris Bowen's giving us the warning, stay home 72 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: if you can, if you can work from home. Fuel prices, 73 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: diesel price is probably edging up to almost three dollars 74 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: a liter here in Australia, which which is obviously quite 75 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: expensive when they're about a dollar eighty only a few 76 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: weeks ago. We are waiting to hear more supposedly six 77 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: ships that were on their way to Australia. Of the 78 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: nineteen odd ships or twenty odd ships that were on 79 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: their way to Australia with fuel, six. 80 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: Of them are not coming. 81 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: So they're just trying to keep everybody in check. But 82 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: the messaging has just been really really pathetic to where 83 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: we are at the moment. 84 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: Hey, am Olie, always good to talk to you, mate, 85 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: Good luck with all the striking and all that stuff. 86 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: That's Olli Peters and ABC Perth Radio Drive presenter. The 87 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: government's assistance package for the fuel crisis going to be 88 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: announced tomorrow. But what is interesting what's just been sent 89 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: to me is the Prime Minister has just committed to 90 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: fiscal neutrality. So he said. What we've been clear about 91 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: are the parameters for any support that we provide, which 92 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: is that it must be targeted, it must be timely, 93 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: it must be temporary, and this is the important thing, 94 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: it must not drive inflation or debt higher. So here's 95 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: my question to you. If they are going to do 96 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: what we think they're going to do it tomorrow, which 97 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: is to to dick around a little bit, dic say 98 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: it sounds terrible. No, let's just say that they're going 99 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: to tweak the working for families so that people who 100 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: are not earning very much can get just a little 101 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: bit more money in order to be able to pay 102 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: for their petro. If they're going to tweak him, how 103 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: are they going to make that not push up inflation? 104 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: Or how are they going to do that because they're 105 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: giving out more money, how are they going to stop 106 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: pushing up inflation? And how are they're going to not 107 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: take on more debt unless they cut something to pay 108 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: for that? So what are they going to cut? So 109 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk to Nikola Willis about let me just write 110 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: that down. We're doing this, we're doing live writing. I'm 111 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: going to ask Nikola Willis when she's with us after six. Okay, 112 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: now we've got the pole new poll out. This is 113 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: the R and Z Reed Research pole. It's slightly better 114 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: for National than that pole that we now refer to 115 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: as the kind of low mark. It's not that much 116 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: better though, unfortunately, so National is on thirty point eight. 117 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: So let's rounded up thirty one percent support. That's only 118 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: what is that two point five percent higher than what 119 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: they were in the other pole. Anyway, we're just so 120 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, anyway, you you just judge it for yourself. 121 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: Thirty one percent. That's National, Labors in the top spot 122 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: thirty five point six percent. New Zealand First is on 123 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: ten point six percent. That is its highest score, by 124 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: the way, in nearly ten years since July twenty seventeen. 125 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: Greens are on ten point one percent, Actors on seven percent, 126 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Marty Parties on three point two percent. Doesn't really matter 127 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: because I know things this is going to happen on 128 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: the night. But it's sixty sixty deadlock in terms of 129 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: the coal In terms of who actually becomes government preferred 130 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: Prime Minister, Hipkins is in top spot twenty point seven, 131 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: Luxon is on seventeen point three. Winston Peters is at 132 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: thirteen percent, and then the right track and the wrong track, 133 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: and it's all looking a little bit ugly, and I 134 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: might run Barrysope will probably talk to us about this 135 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: next and if he doesn't, I'll run you through some 136 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: more numbers.
