1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: So here of the long weekend, let's give the Labour

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Party a report cant shall we? For their policy week

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: will be one of the few report cards this week

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: because we actually turned up to work, so overall a

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: CNUS for presentation. They had two years to organize this,

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: to make a splash, to grab the headlines and run

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: with them. Policy one didn't have any detail, so it

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: was just a thought bubble. Policy two was forgotten about

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: or sneakily given to a magazine ahead of time, or

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: a combo of both and three that was fine, but

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: it was just an extension of an already existing idea.

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: And the problem with the existing ideas the existing idea

13
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: isn't used or needed. So let's have a drone type

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: view of the themes we have here. It's a lot

15
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: of overarching government control, a government picking winners on the

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: future funder, government telling doctors how much they can charge

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: in some freebies for gaming. Now that's left wing politics

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: and some people like that, and that's fine. That's democracy.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: That's why we have elections. So b for the theme,

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: specifically the Future Fund see because at no point can

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: they escape the fact that whatever they give to the fund,

22
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: it won't go to debt repayment, and given we've got

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: less than no money, that must be a prayer. And

24
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: that's before you get to the bit where the world

25
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: is a wash with money anyway. For ideas are the

26
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: GPS Committee D D for dumb and dunce and fail

27
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: telling already struggling GPS what they cannon can't charge is

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: a recipe for frustration, anger and resignation. It's got administrative

29
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: cluster written all over it. Are the gaming subsidies B

30
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: minus because it's already running. But here is the clue

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: gaming is booming? Is it booming because of the subsidies? No?

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Other subsidies aren't used. They set aside one hundred and

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: sixty million bucks. Less than half have been applied for.

34
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: It's a classic government looking to give away money. They

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: can't even give it away. But the truth is as

36
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: artificial as it all is. Governments do offer tax deals

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: on gaming and film, so you've got to compete. So

38
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: of the three, this was the best idea of the week,

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: and by quite so margin. So overall, you think about

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: it this way. If this is them, if this is

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: the sharp and ready to rock and roll alternative to

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: run this country, either they need to majorly sharpen up.

43
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Or if you're looking at this week in your game,

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: man that HIPCA he is one slick operator. Well, I'll

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: see you at the airport. For more from the Mic
