1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance peace of mind 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. Well that's out of Australia's Marriol's izz. 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: He correspondent. He mus, afternoon, do you have that? Would 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: you call it a draw? Look? I could earn his 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: stomach the first half of it. I turned off. I mean, please, 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's like please, I couldn't. I couldn't bear it. 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean, neither stuffed up, neither was able to dominate. 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: The rival plans for fixing the housing crisis. I mean 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: cost of living is still the number one issue here. 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: And these rival plans for fixing housing, trying to help 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: young people into their first home, labor offering low deposits 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: and building brand new homes that will be reserved for 13 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: first home buyers. The opposition policy to allow young people 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: to access the superannuation to buy a home. Peter Dutton 15 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: opened and closed by using the liner you're better off 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: now than you were three years ago. The unce is 17 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: probably no and albanize, he said. In times of strife, 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: trust the mob you've got rather than the clowns on 19 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: the other side. You get this sense that Peter Dutton 20 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: and in the Opposition really haven't. Either they haven't hit first 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: gear top gear yet or they've got nothing else to 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: give because the whole opposition campaign has really been a 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: bit haphazard, a lack of any policy detail. You've got 24 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: big question marks have for Peter Dutton in terms. Well, 25 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: he admitted in the debate last night he got it 26 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: wrong by verbaling the Indonesian president about these You know, 27 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the Russian planes may be based in Papua, and you 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: know you had the policy flip flop on, you know, 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: working from home and sacking public servants. You just get 30 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: the sense that people are saying, you know what, we 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: are in trouble times and the other mob really doesn't 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: look as though it's ready to govern. It's I mean 33 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: the countdowns on May the third is the election and 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: the oppositions running out of time to try and get 35 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: a bit of momentum. How much is ORC is going 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: to cost? Oh god knows. I mean it was three 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eight billion dollars that when it was signed. 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: Now we're already at four hundred billion and counting. And 39 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: it's a very interesting study here. I mean, these are submarines. 40 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: The first is not supposed to get here until in 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: the twenty thirties, the last of them not until the 42 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: twenty sixties, and we're already spending money hand over. If 43 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: there's so much money. There's been a study app by 44 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: a military think tank over here that says, basically, what's 45 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: happening the huge spend on these nuclear submarines that are 46 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: yet to be designed, never mind built and then delivered. 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: We haven't got the cruise for the existing submarines. We've 48 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: gotten our old school. The whole orchestra budget for submarines 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: is distorting the rest of the defense spend. Donald Trump's 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: there in Washington demanding allies up there spending on defense. 51 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: Australia is shoveling money across to the United States for 52 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: these submarines. And what that's doing, according to this defense 53 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: think tank, it is taking capacity away from arguably the 54 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: strike arm of what Australia's got to offer, and that's 55 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: the air force, all sorts of aerial ordinance is it's 56 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: being invented. Every year, there's something new to spend money on. 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: Drones are the big thing. Of course, we're looking at 58 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: that in Europe right now, aren't we. And so the 59 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: argument is, are we spending too much the Greens over 60 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: here for the election campaign, either or saying bloody no 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: we're not. We should can aucus now. It's just a 62 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: waste of money we may never ever see a benefit. 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: Yeah interesting, Hey, thanks very much Mauz really appreciated, as 64 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Murray Old's Australia corresponds.
