Got into 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 2: a restaurant you could never get into otherwise because Paris, 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: according to the owners of the place, is empty. 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: As you said, isn't that amazing? The time to go 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: and visit the most visited city in the world is 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: the Olympic Games time.

How old is she 12 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: if you don't need twenty seven? Yeah, it's a difficult. 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: Our oldest is twenty five. And it's that's still we're 14 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: still into that. You know, when does it end? When 15 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: do we never end? Does it never end? 16 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 3: Okay? 17 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: Thanks for that, so elbows. Still on the business of 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: the Indigenous Australia. What's his promise? 19 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 2: He went up to the Garma Festival, which is held 20 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: each year in the Anum Land in the Northern Territory, 21 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: and he said that even though the Voice referendum was lost, 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: the focus that his government would be marking. These are 23 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: his words, a path forward to break through the ashes 24 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: of the failed Voice referendum and economically support Indigenous Australians. 25 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 2: He went on to say that he remained committed to Macarata, 26 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: which is a treaty, and committed to truth telling processes 27 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: being undertaken by the state governments right around the country. 28 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: And then he flushed out twenty million dollars to build 29 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: the Gama Institute, which will be a tertiary education and 30 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 2: vocational center established in East. 31 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 3: Artam Land, to be own and run by the Old 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 3: New people. 33 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: So he was there at the weekend this time last 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: year is promising. Of course the voice would get up. 35 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: The voice didn't get up, and he now doesn't have 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: a lot left to do for Indigenous Australians and continues 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: to avoid Alice Springs where there are still very large 38 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: social problems involving. 39 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Out exactly where is he winning on this or losing 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: on this politically with the rest of Australia. 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: Big time on most of Australia. And look, it's just 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: ingrained in what he believes and thinks, and if he 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: can do some good for Indigenous people, great, but I 44 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: don't know that throwing twenty million. 45 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: Dollars at a building in remote. 46 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: Arnum Land is going to do too much for the 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: people living in creek beds outside Olla Springs, to be honest. 48 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: No exactly. And so where does that leave them in 49 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: the polls? 50 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: Well, his polling is pretty much fifty to fifty still. 51 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: But the big poll shocked today is in Victoria where 52 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: our friend Daniel Andrews of course no longer premier, taken 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: over by it just Cinder Allen and she's now in charge. 54 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: And the poll out today shows that the ALP is 55 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: on primary voter thirty one coalition forty two part he preferred, 56 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: it's fifty to fifty. That's the first time in seven 57 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: years that the coalition have had their nose in front. 58 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: And it's all being driven by what you and I've 59 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: talked about in the past, that Victoria's broke. They've got 60 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: a massive debt. They keep plowing money into this infrastructure 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 2: projects going to be finished and yet at the same 62 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: time they've got to cut things like health. And this 63 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: pole has been taken just after a range of health 64 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: cuts to all of the hospitals were announced, and also 65 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: just after the shop scandal about the CFMU became public. 66 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: So there's no election till next year, and if Labor 67 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: were to win that election, it would be a full 68 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: time at four times in a row that they've won. 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: I think people are sick of the Labor government here. 70 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: The only problem is that the coalition leadership is pretty weak, 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: and still they are arguing about whether they even replace 72 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: their leader. But that poll's a big shop for most people. 73 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and to give that some way, correct me if 74 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But the last election, particularly that the opposition 75 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: had been a shambles for years, and that state hints 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: at least part of the success of the Labor Party 77 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: has been the fact that the opposition is non existent. 78 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, correct, and ten years of swapping leaders they've had 79 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: four in ten years. I think the current bloke's pretty unimpressive. Still, 80 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: there was even speculation at the weekend for this poll 81 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: came out that they might again top him and put 82 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: someone else in. So they're not winning because they are 83 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: particularly good. They're winning because Labor is particularly bad. 84 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: What are these gambling lules for advertising on television? What 85 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: are the changes? 86 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: Well, the government wants to do this, whether they'll get 87 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: away with doing it or not, go to cabinet when 88 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: Parliament resimes in a couple of weeks time, but gambling 89 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: ads will stay on television. But what they Labor Party 90 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: is proposing is a cap I don't know how you'd 91 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: go with these gambling ads in New Zealand, a gap 92 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: of a cap of two gambling ads an hour on 93 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: each channel up until ten pm. After that it's a 94 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: free for all and they're going to ban ads an 95 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: hour before and after live sport. So this is very 96 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,119 Speaker 2: controversial because the gambling industry obviously tips a huge amount 97 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: of money into the media in this country. Labour wants 98 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: a blanket ban on betting ads on social media and 99 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: other digital platforms and that is going to send the 100 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: gambling sectors crazy. Details of the Communication Minister's plans which 101 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: will go to Cabinet are subject to change, but that's 102 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: what the leak is saying. 103 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: They want to do a couple of quick things. If 104 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: you don't mind, I'm reading over the weekend. Rex has 105 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: got hope the administrators saying there's a whole bunch of 106 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: people wringing them up with interest. So is their hope 107 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: theyre or not. 108 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 2: If they stick to the regional roots that they were 109 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: most successful on in the past. So what they went 110 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: out and did they decided to fly Melbourne, Sydney, Sydney, 111 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: Brisbane those roots and they went least a whole bunch 112 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: of brand new seven jets workers Quantison and Virgin just 113 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: put on more seats. So if they stick to their 114 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: knitting and stick to domestic to regional roots, that could 115 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: work for them. 116 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: Yes, okay. And the other one was the Reynolds case started. 117 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: This is Higgins, Sharaz, Leom and the whole thing again. 118 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: People sick and tired of that, or we still got 119 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: some sort of interest in this or not. 120 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: Oh, there's interest. The Senator will be up in court 121 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: today talking about what happened, what she claims happened to 122 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: her reputation, and the reporting of what happened late last 123 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: week suggested that she believes that they can Sharaz and Higgins. 124 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: This story about her being ignored. 125 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: There was a whole bunch of pictures released at the 126 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: weekend showing Britney Higgins on the campaign trail when she 127 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: was supposed to be sad and lonely and locked up 128 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: in a hotel, and she's out there laughing and handing 129 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: out out of boat cards. 130 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: See you Wednesday.
