1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Murray Olds is our Australia correspondent, Murray, good afternoon, good made,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: good day, right going, Yeah, so no surprises there. The

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: reserve banks held steady.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right exactly. And that was what was the

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: stat I read this morning, ninety two percent of economists.

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: So who wants to be precise when you're economists, but

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: ninety two percent was saying no way, no, they're going

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: to go today. They did cut in February, the first

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: rate cut after the one in February. The first rate

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: cut in February should say since November twenty twenty, so

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: a long time coming. And the basic word now is

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: do not hold your breath because of the uncertainty around things. Also,

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: of course, the Reserve Bank and the Governor Michelle Bullock

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: very cognizant of criticism that a Reserve Bank cut and

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: official interest rates today might feed into the election campaign

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: and give the impression perhaps the independence of the Reserve

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Bank would be questioned, given that an interest rate cut

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: would conceivably give labor a bit of a bit of

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: help along. So no cut today. Four point one percent

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: is where it's stopping. And that's very interesting indeed, in

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: terms of what is going to arrive tomorrow, perhaps the

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: day after Donald Trump.

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and which no one really knows. So I mean,

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: what's the point trying to guess? I guess now let's

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: move to the election, because there's a lot to get through.

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't if he wins wants to live.

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: Weirribilly Kiribilly House, it's the beautiful residence right on the

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: edge of Sydney Harbor. Look straight across the harbor of

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: the Opera House in the city. There's the harbor bridge

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: on your on your right hand side is are out

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: in the putting green there right next door of the

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Governor General's Sydney Residents. And you know, he was asked,

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: as they do on the I can't believe it's only

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: a few days in. It feels like it's been going

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: for bloody ever. You turn on the telly, you turn

36
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: on the radio, there they are burbling away and so

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: they're on one of these interminable FM interviews. So by Pedro,

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: how are you going DUTs or where will you live?

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: A your PM? Well, I think god, I'd like to

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: live in ord like to live in Sydney, you like,

41
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I quite like Sydney have But well Albanese is all

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: over that like a cheap suit. He says, oh you know, Hebress, Well,

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: it's just pathetic. I mean, can you give us some policies.

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: I want to know what Dutton's nuclear pans go to cost.

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: What they're both infurious agreement about today. Just to duck

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: back for a moment on the tariffs that may be

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: arriving tomorrow. We understand American pharmaceutical manufacturers hate the fact

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: that Australian pharmaceuticals are subsidized by the government. They think,

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: hang on, get rid of that subsidy because you know,

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: we will make more profits. They hate the things like

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: biosecurity rules that stop beef from other parts of the

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: world coming in here it may be diseased. I mean, hello,

53
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: who thinks American beef producers can produce better cows than OSSI?

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: I then come our Rossie cows. I'm the best of

55
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: the world. So look at all this stuff that's swirling around.

56
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: You've got, you know, an analysis today about the whole

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: brand new generation of young voters who are coming through.

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: They're called the gen z's, of course, and the and

59
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: the what's the other one millennials. So there's a whole

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: swag of people who are going to vote for the

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: very first time, and of course the right wing over here,

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: the Murdock Press. Oh, it's disgrace of labor and doctor

63
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: edd in schools and universities and they all vote left.

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: And so there's going to be a whole lot of this.

65
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to be neckingus over before the end of

66
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: this election campaign. I can assure you.

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're already halfway there. Murray, Murray. We'll finish

68
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: with the Teal candidate who's got themselves on the spot

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: of bother making a sexual comment to a hairdresser. What's

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: this about?

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just weird. I mean it is significantly weird.

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: She's a Look, she's a Teal candidate in what's the seed?

73
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: Is it North Sydney? Yeah? I think it maybe North Sydney. Anyway,

74
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: she's had her hair done, and you know, with a

75
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: young nineteen year old female apprentice hairdresser, apparently, as you do,

76
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: you get the cameras in, oh, gee, whresh you you

77
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: really looked after my hair, thanks very much, And I

78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: didn't even have to sleep with you. What what?

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: Uh?

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: What is the disconnect with just I mean, hello, It's

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: as though someone's in a jam tartan and elevator and

82
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 2: the doors of your shot. It's just ridiculous. Why would

83
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: you say this?

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: This a woman, the candidate's a woman, and a female hairdresser.

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 2: Female hairdresser. I mean, what's the what are you trying

86
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: to say?

87
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: Is she lesbian?

88
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: No? I have no idea. I don't know.

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 3: The six preference would never close. You got nice hair

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: and just been washed. God almighty, you wonder I'm halfway there.

91
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 3: It's just a dumb, dumb coment, completely unnecessary, embarrassed the

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: young woman probably, and this collective intake of did you

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 3: really say that?

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Yes? She did? Stupid, stupid?

95
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: All right, Murray, thank you for that. We'll let you

96

Speaker 1: go have a lie down, Murray Held's astly correspondent. A

99
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,679
