1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Mariold's as he corresponds with us, Hey Mas, good afternoon, Heathers.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Your unemployments stayed at four point one.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I suppose good news, bad news for interest rates

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: as well. Unemployment well four point one on September, same

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: as August. Good news for the sixty four thousand people

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 2: who found work last month. And economists, and aren't they

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: aren't they? I mean they have a bob each way,

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: these economists, they are expecting twenty five thousand jobs to

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: be created, sixty four one thousand jobs in the end.

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: So it's good news, but bad news for people hanging

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 2: out for a cutting interest rates, because they're just hanging on.

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: In many many cases, it's the same economists I've slapped

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: a second ago. They're also saying the jobless figure is

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: not strong enough to lead the Reserve Bank to increase

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: interest rates. Well, thank goodness for that, but also too

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: strong to expect a rate cut anytime at least before

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Chris certainly not until the first quarter of next year,

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: which may be just in time for elbow when he

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: goes to an election in May.

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Now, explain to me how it does that Star Casino

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: stuff's up badly enough to be coppying a sixteen million

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: dollar fine. But then it has its license, retains its license.

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: No, it's suspended. The license is suspended. Basically an administrator

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: has been put in there. This is Star Casino in Sydney.

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, here's the conundrum. It's too big

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: to fail. It's Australia's second biggest casino group, and the

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: Sydney casino alone. There's another in Brisbane. But the Sydney

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: casino employs nine thousand people. Now that's a lot of

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: pay packets and a lot of jobs that would be

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: lost if the casino's license was taken away. They've tried

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: new management that didn't work out that well, and of

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: course spectacular findings of basically, you know, illegal conduct, I

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: mean apparently, you know, if you believe the or the reporting.

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 2: Basically Star was turning a blind eye to industrial scale

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: money laundering by who know, God knows who were they?

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Druggies were they? I mean, who knows who these people were.

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: It was all caught on security cameras rocking up at

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: the place where you you know, you you know, you

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: buy chips, and they're opening suitcases full of money, all

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: bundled up. Now, if if you're not smelling a whole

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: bloody army of rats, I mean there's something wrong. So anyway, look,

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: they're still very unhappy with the way the joints being run,

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: but it's the sixteenth fifteen million dollar fine and they're

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: going to be allowed to keep going, albeit with that

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: license still suspended.

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Well, what does it mean to be too big to fail?

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know nine thousand jobs. That was the single

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: biggest reason cited by the guy in charge the casino regulator.

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: You can't have.

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: That's just basically given the really big guy's a license

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: to be a bit naughty, isn't it.

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 2: Well, look they have got this administrator in there. It's

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: not as those management is allowed to keep going willy nilly.

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: You know a lot big corporate lunches and long stretch limousines.

55
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: They have got the regulator, I mean a very very

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: close eye on this. Basically, they don't want it to

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: be a big atm for crooks. And in the meantime

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: you've got nine thousand people who are employed.

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: So okay, Now, how many of your politicians have flash

60
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: houses like Albow?

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that flash but the ABC

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: has done an analysis. There are two d and twenty

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: seven federal MPs and senators, and all but twelve have

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: at least one investment property. Two of them have seven each.

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: One's a liberal ones of labor. You've got three, have six,

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: five have five. Only one rents and these are the Greens.

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: And he's such a boaster. I rent my place. I

68
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: bet his mum and dad have got a few in

69
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: his name. He's their housing spokesman. And it's all in

70
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: the Parliamentary registers. Here's the thing. Peter Dutton was listed

71
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: with five properties. I quoted that on Tuesday, but there's

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: been an updated register. He's down to just one. But

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: there's no record heather of the spouses, no ability to

74
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: appear into family trusts either. It's a really poor look

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: by Elbow in the middle of a housing crisis. But notably,

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: Peter Dutton said nothing about slapping Elbow this week because

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: he knows that a lot of his own side also

78
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: have multiple properties. The only people howling about it are

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: these freaks from the Murdoch Press and Sky News, all

80
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: tutting away, all terrible, terrible, and maybe it will be

81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: terrible come the election time. But look, it's a bad

82
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: look for elbow. It's a lovely home though, and maybe

83
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: he's slipping the wind. He might be out of a

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: job come by next year.

85
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: Maybe. So hey, thank you mass always appreciated. Murray Old's
