1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Murray. Old Ossie corresponds with us now, how mus good

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: afternoon heaven. So the twenty thirty emissions target keeps on

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: rolling on.

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy boy, the climate wars are on again. The

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: opposition wants to pick a fight on climate. The twenty

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: talk over here about an early election round. One of

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: the fight was let's go nuclear. Well, Australian scientists, the

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: top organization over here, the CSIO said you're getting too expensive,

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: too far away. Now, Peter Dutton says a coalition government

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: will walk away from the twenty thirty Paris Agreement. That's

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: the target to cut emissions by forty three percent by

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: the end of this decade over two thousand and five levels,

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: thanks to having eighty two percent of the energy that

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: Australia needs supplied by renewables. Now, the Opposition says that's unattainable.

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: Experts say it's going to be a big ask. The

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: government says, listen, trust as we're going well now both

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: sides Apparently you've underestimated the challenge of getting enough renewables

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: into this system. Certainly the National Transmission Network, for example

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: GI it's going to be expensive to upgrade that. But

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: few are saying over if anybody outside the coalition, yes,

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: let's blow up Paris and have Australia joint Iran, Libya

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: and Yemen as the world's only countries not to ratify

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: that agreement. Labor says, bring it on. We'll fight you

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: on this at the next election.

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: Buzz. Do we believe the Victorian landlords who are threatening

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: to sell up?

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: Oh diddams. I mean this is also energy related. It's

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: an interesting story this because the Victorian government wants to

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: be completely zero emissions emissions, you know, by twenty forty seven,

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: so it's only twenty years away, well just over twenty

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: years away. Now, the Victorian government's come up with an

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: idea proposed changes to laws around energy efficiency in rental properties.

33
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: The Victorian government basically wants net zero omissions, I said

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: in twenty years. So okay, landlords, we're going to bring

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: in new standards, minimum standards, for example, heather every rental

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: property they have to have sealing insulation that have to

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: be twenty first century, shower heads, new electric hot water systems,

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: new cooling systems and heating systems as well. Now landlords

39
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: are furious that they're angry about the cost. They say,

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: hang on the tenants might save on their energy bills.

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you who's going to be putting the

42
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: rent up. We are because we can't afford it. Just

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: another blow for landlords, is there? Many are saying, well,

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: it's going to sell up and get out and can't

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: see that happening really, And appliances won't have to be

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: updated until their current life is over. But some landlords

47
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: are out there on forums saying the sky is going

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: to fall in and he has won. He said, oh soon,

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: tenants are going to have better homes than us, and

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: we're the owners of the investment property.

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Please must I see everybody at Bonds has got the sack,

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: haven't they?

53
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: They have? And I knew we were talking about this

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: today and I went looking at the etymology of BONDSA.

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: It's an Australian slang expression from the start of the

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: twentieth century for something that was excellent, pleasing, very good.

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: Sadly none of these apply any more to Australia's most

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: recent airline. Bonds has crashed and burned. They called the

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: administrators in two months ago. They've been waiting on you.

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: All the staff have been waiting with no pay for

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: the last two months, hoping against hope the administrators would

62
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: be able to sell the airline. That's not happened. Now

63
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: they've all been dismissed today. Yes they're going to get

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: their entitlements, we understand, but no potential buyers. And now

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: the suggestion this afternoon that maybe, just maybe the airline

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: was trading while insolvent, and that is a big no no,

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: as you know very much too.

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Right. Hey, thank you very much, Mars, really enjoyed talking
