1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Oliver Peterson is our six pm Perth Live presenter, our

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Australia correspondent, Oliver good Afternoon, Get a Ryan. Hey, this

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: has been bad news for Elbow at the by election.

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah it has. And look it is a state's parliamentary

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: issue for Victoria. But there are some huge red flags

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: now for the Prime Minister because all of a sudden

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: a seat which was actually held by the Greens has

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 2: flipped to the Liberal Party. It's very very close in

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: the former Treasurer of Victoria's in Palace's seat still between

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: the Liberal Party and the Labor Party at the moment.

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: And once the analysis has been done on this, if

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: you look at the primary vote now for the Labor Party,

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 2: it's slipped to just twenty seven percent. Ryan. So if

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: those results are going to be replicated when we go

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: to a federal election, all of a sudden, Anthony Albaneze

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: could be losing somewhere between ten and twenty seats in

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: Victoria and the government obviously switches to Peter Dutton and

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: the Liberal Party in the coalition. So look, this is

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: a bad result for the Labor brand. Victoria have obviously

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: got a mountain of problems at the moment, debt is

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: stacking up at an incredible rate. They canceled the Commonwealth Games,

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: they're on the nose with Victorians. But the Prime Minister

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: will be very worried about these results and very worried

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: about a number of polls coming from a different from

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: a whole heap of different agencies at the moment, which

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: paint a very very bad picture for the labor brand

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: in Victoria. He'll be just hoping that next week when

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank of Australia meets, we are going to

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: get an interest rate cut. That he's probably the only

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: thing that he's going to save him between holding on

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: to power in a minority government and losing office altogether.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: It's interesting, is that because you start to look and

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: sound like a loser. I mean when you get numbers

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: like this, you look at the press conferences with Albinizi

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: and he's starting to sound like he's going to lose. Yeah.

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: And the thing is he also when he comes over

37
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: here to Perth where I am, he likes to remind

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: us I've been there twenty eight times. Well, great, you're

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister of Australia, mate, you shouldn't be telling

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: us how often we are lucky enough to have you here.

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: When you are here, you just get on with the job.

42
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: And you're right that loser talk is really creeping in.

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: The ASX took a bit of a hit this afternoon.

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: This is after Trump makes his announcement off the cauff

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: On Air Force one about the tariffs on steel and aluminium.

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it Phil as soon as we open this morning.

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: We fell zero point six percent as of half past

48
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: ten this morning Eastern Standard time. The other update, though,

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: is now the Prime Minister has just told the Federal

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: Parliament he has a call scheduled with Donald Trump regarding

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: these tariffs. But obviously Australia has a great trading relationship

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: with the United States. A lot of steel is exported

53
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: to the United States, so to put a twenty five

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: percent tariff on that, I think he's something which has

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: caught our Prime minister in our whole country obviously by surprise.

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: You say he made those comments off the cuff, But

57
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: there is now a phone call scheduled sometime between Albow

58
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: and Trump, you'd say, in the next twenty four hours.

59
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: Interesting, we'll keep in breast to that one. And Brian

60
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Adams Perth Show has been called off. What's the problem here.

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: Well, it's an yesh one t show? Can I put

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: it that way? Ryan? Because last night everybody turned up

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: to the arena at five point thirty. Obviously people who

64
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: particularly wanted to get right down the front and had

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: general admission they would to see Brian Adams. The doors

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: stayed locked at five point thirty and that what's going on.

67
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: Get a text message to say it's going to be

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: a bit delayed on the doors by half an hour.

69
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: Get another text message at that half hour is up

70
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: indicating the sewer was blocked and they are worried that

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: everything might come back up the toilets in the arena.

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: So now this is an issue that's been caused by

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: the state's water authority, called the Water Corporation, as a

74
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: result of the blockage in the area. But in the

75
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: end the Department of Health had to step in and

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: say you just simply can't open up the arena in

77
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: case everything comes back up the toilets. So the Brian

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: Adams show has canceled last night. It's not going to

79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: be rescheduled. Everybody's getting their money back. But there were

80
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of people in the middle of the

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: Perth CBD. Yes, we do have thousands of people that

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: live here. Ryan, by the way, who could not go

83
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: to the show, were very angry last night, spilling out

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: onto the street, all because you couldn't flash the toilets

85
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: and if you did, you didn't know if it was

86
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: going to come back up.

87
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: That's them, I would think a great time does that? Hey,

88
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: they may not have got Brian Adams, but they got

89
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Alberanzi twenty eight times. Are we lucky?

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: Right?

91
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,480
