1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: In Australia. Steve Price, very good Wednesday morning to you. 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Good to be with you. A lot of people from 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: what I've been reading the Susan Lay who got a 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: little proud got up for the Net. Susan Lay got 5 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: up for the Liberal Party and called her a punk rocker. 6 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: When was she a punk rocker? What sort of punk 7 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: rocker was she? And would most Australians know her as 8 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: a former punk rocker. No. 9 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 2: The answer to the last part of the question, she 10 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: says she was an early adopter of punk rockery, that's 11 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 2: the way to describe it, in Canberra, back when she 12 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: was in her early twenties, and described how she once 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 2: went to work wearing punk rock gear and razor blades 14 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: attached to her ears and things coming out of her 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: nose and all that sort of stuff. You wouldn't think 16 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: of that when you immediately think of Susan Lay, but 17 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: you should. I should point out that this woman, she's 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: sixty three years old now, she's been a minister in Abbott, 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: Turnbull Morrison governments and of course in the Dutton government, 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: and she is a commercial airline pilot. So you know 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: a lot of people can throw I'm not suggesting you're 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: doing this can throw stones at Susan leb but she certainly. 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: I mean, she's just taken on the worst job in 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: the world. But she's very interesting, very talented. Obviously, anyone 25 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: that can fly commercial airliner is smart, and that's Susan 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: but Lee. But her problem is that she's taken over 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: a party that's been decimated in the election. Well, I'll 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: give you the numbers shortly, but this is the best 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: way to look at it. The Liberals don't hold one 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: seat in Metropolitan Adelaie, they don't hold a seat in Tasmania. 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: They've virtually been wiped out in Melbourne and Perth and Sydney. 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: And she's supposed to now rebuild this party over three 33 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: years and be competitive when the next election comes around. 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: I mean, it is not a job that anybody that 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: you or I know would want to have. 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: Would your sense of it be? Everyone within the party 37 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: understands that. And if she falls a bit short come 38 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: three years time, she gets to carry the jew on 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: or is she a placeholder. 40 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if she'd made for three years, to 41 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: be honest, unless something radically goes wrong with the Albanezi 42 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: government and that's entirely possible. I mean, governments with the 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 2: numbers that I'm about to give you get who hubris, 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: and they do tend to make mistakes. I mean, for 45 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: a start, we have the Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: writing in the Australian newspaper this morning, saying that the 47 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: election result two saturdays ago is a rubber stamp for 48 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: him to continue with the lunacy that is turning Australia 49 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: into a place that relies on the sun and the 50 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: wind for power and use cold gas. So that's coming 51 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 2: down the track and it's coming at us very quickly. 52 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just see it's the type of we look, 53 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: as I keep saying, we learned this lesson in twenty 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: through twenty three. It's not labor. It's the type of 55 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: labor government you have. So we go back in this 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: country to people like David Longie, Roger Douglas, Helen Clark, 57 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: different sort of labor party to the Disinda Ad party. 58 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: And is Albanesian Co Bob Hawk or are they Albanesian Co. 59 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: They're Albanesian Co. And this is the problem that the 60 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: country's going to have. I mean, Bowen writing this morning says, well, 61 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: I look at these seats, they had a slight swing 62 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: toward labor in their primary vote. And now that means 63 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: that we can stick wind farms off the coastline of 64 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: places like Nelson Bay in Sydney or the Illawarra in 65 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: New South Wales as well, and people simply do not 66 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: want that. He said, Oh, well, the quiet Australians have spoken, 67 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: and rural Australians. He even made a ridiculous quote in 68 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: this column. He's written today that you'll find more electric 69 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: vehicles in Werribee than you willing to rat. Now that 70 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: is just completely ridiculous and stupid and it's not true. 71 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: No, So what are what he up to? 72 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: Is it? 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: Ninety one ninety two is ninety three? Does see ninety three. 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: Ninety three to forty two, which is just a smash 75 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: And you can understand. I guess why they're so in 76 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: love with themselves and believe that they can do whatever 77 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: they want. Independence ended up on nine. We spoke on 78 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: Monday about doctor Ryan getting up in too young just narrowly. 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: The Liberal Party did win the seat of Bradford and 80 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: Sydney very narrowly, by less than five hundred votes, and 81 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: so it is an absolute smashing in any language. And 82 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: so we're now looking at probably six years of labor 83 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: governments in the middle of a global crisis when it 84 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: comes to economies and a climate crisis in Australia, where 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: you're going to get a minister that's being held onto 86 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 2: his portfolio. He didn't get moved sideways or dropped, and 87 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 2: so we're now going to go headlong down the path. 88 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: We're even going to did you know this? We're going 89 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: to host a cop meeting of all things in Adelaide, 90 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: costing multi millions of dollars in two years time. 91 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: Wow, what's the sporting thing you got for Melbourne? 92 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: What's happened this? Any? Better book your tickets. Rory McElroy 93 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 2: has signed on the company Australia and open Nice and 94 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 2: Melbourne in twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six. This 95 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: will be announced today. What course Royal Melbourne Golf Club 96 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: in twenty five, Kingston Heath in twenty six. Now lurking 97 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 2: in the shadows behind this deal, of course, is my 98 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: favorite ex premiere in one Daniel Andrews, who happens to 99 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: be a member at Kingston Heath and has his sticky 100 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: little fingers all over this deal. But remember this is 101 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: the city that bids for the Koonwalth Games, got them, 102 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: got two years away from hosting them, and to no, 103 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: we don't want them anymore. So we just got to 104 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: remember that we did blow up eight hundred million dollars 105 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: not hosting the Koonwaft Games. But that's pretty good. 106 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: I mean that what are they paying them? 107 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: Well, this is interesting. I'm glad to ask that question. 108 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,119 Speaker 2: The last big name golfer to sign up to come 109 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 2: to Australia and play in Melbourne in an Australian Open 110 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: was back in two thousand and nine when we paid 111 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: three million dollars to Tiger Woods. They come out here 112 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: and play. Do you remember what happened post Tiger woods 113 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: visit to Melbourne in two thousand and nine with his 114 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: three million dollar paycheck? 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: I do not. What happened? 116 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: A woman not being his wife his room at Crown 117 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: Casino and Tiger never really recovered from that. His wife 118 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 2: left him, took the kids and he was out in there. 119 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: Does that all happened in Melbourne? That's Melbourn's fault, and 120 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: what it's Melbourne's fault? I was just thinking we paid 121 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: him once to come and he played it just north 122 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: of Wellington. I'm I'm just not sure. A a in 123 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: a small world of streaming and sport, and we're just 124 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: getting one person to come to a thing like that 125 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: for millions of dollars, because golf is such a rand, 126 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: as you well know, such a random sport that just 127 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,239 Speaker 1: because the big name turns up doesn't mean they bail 128 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: themselves out and they're gone by the weekend. 129 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: Have you seen the vision from the live golf tournament 130 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 2: has played in Adelaid where they throw beer cups of 131 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: people on the Pathrey. 132 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I thought there was just another day at 133 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: the golf course.
