1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Olli Peterson six pr Perth Life presenter out of Australia 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: with us. 3 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 2: Hey, Ali, get a Heather, what about Albo? He will 4 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: be feeling chuffed today, won't he Oh? Big time? 5 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: This is something that nobody saw coming, to be perfectly 6 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: honest with you, Heather, even though the polls were obviously 7 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: showing on the two party preferred question it was sort 8 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: of a fifty three versus forty. 9 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: Seven pole indication. 10 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: Nobody quite saw the blood bath which is now the 11 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: Liberal Party, which is completely cactus in this country. 12 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: And the Prime Minister is quite. 13 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: Emotional to be perfectly honest and quite proud and as 14 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: he should be of himself and his team that he 15 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: wants to still lead for all Australian. So today he's 16 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: had a conversation, he says, with Donald Trump. It was 17 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: warm and friendly. He's already back in Canberra getting back 18 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: to work. But Heather, this is the roost that he 19 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: can rule for not only this term but probably another 20 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: term after that. 21 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 2: If he wants to do it. It's really his. It's 22 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: his way on the highway. Now, what do you think 23 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: doesn't did wrong? 24 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: I think ultimately Peter Dutton was never sold proper leader 25 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: to the Australian people that he was always a person 26 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: who was the tough cop on the beat, always wore 27 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: a suit, you know, never was a personable to people, 28 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: despite the fact that off air and I've interviewed Peter 29 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: Dutton a heap of times, he's a really likable bloke 30 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: as he's Anthony Albernezi. They're probably two of the less 31 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: politician politicians, if that makes sense, heither when they're off air. 32 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: But what I think he did wrong is he stood 33 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: for nothing in the end, so he really isolated women 34 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: voters in Australia and women in general. That work from 35 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: home policy which he said, all of a sudden, public 36 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: servants come back to work, you got to do it, 37 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: and then a few days later he said no, actually 38 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: we're not going to do that anymore. So Peter Dutton 39 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: was always a politician of conviction that then showed that 40 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: he didn't stand for that. His nuclear power policy I 41 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: think was also a fatal flaw because there was no 42 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: detail around it. He said, we're going to bring in 43 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: nuclear it's going to cost billions and billions of dollars, 44 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: but it was really off in the never never, So 45 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: the hard work of policy in opposition was not done 46 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: and he really became unstuck during the early campaign, looking 47 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: as though he wasn't prepared, as though he was a 48 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: one man band. And this is a really really big 49 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: existential crisis for the Liberal Party Nowheather, because they just 50 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: simply do not resonate with mainstream Australia. And there is 51 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: a long way for the party to come back from 52 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: the wilderness which has really been almost hijacked by the 53 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: conservative side of the party. They need to somehow find 54 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: a way back to the center and then somehow actually 55 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: provide an alternative to the Labor Party, which is doing 56 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: very well in. 57 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: That center left area on the political spectrum. 58 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: So it's a fascinating result and something that our country 59 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: is going to grapple with, as I said, for at 60 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: least another two terms. 61 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: Alber Ezi slash Labor governments. Fascinating stuff. Now, what's the 62 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: problem with the Olympic stadium in Brisbane that's supposed to 63 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: be under construction. 64 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: The Green groups have just decided that the government doesn't 65 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: have any authority to claim the land and build the 66 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: Olympic stadiums. So this is the Crucifilly government up there 67 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: in Queensland. They've introduced new legislation to the Queensland Parliament 68 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: to basically get this built and they're not worried about 69 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: really the opposition to the Victoria Park Stadium. By the way, 70 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: I was in Brisbane on the weekend for Magic ground 71 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: up the wires bluddy of City Brisbane, and I think 72 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: this is just going through what the usual throws of, 73 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: if you like, of a of a concerned local group 74 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: is for the environment. But they'll have to jump over 75 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: a few more hurdles, pardon the pun, and hopefully they 76 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: can get this in constructed. 77 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: Twenty thirty two is not far away. No, I liked 78 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: your hurdle thing. By the way, I'm still thinking about 79 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: it because you'll be jumping hurdles there at the at 80 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: the Olympics. Heether. Yeah, no, I know, I got it. 81 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: I got it immediately and then I was kind of 82 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: really give me those corporate boxes. You and I are together, 83 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: will have fun. Do you still watch Super Rugby? 84 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: Well, as I said, I went to rugby league on 85 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: the weekend. I've been to the Force a few times 86 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: this year. Same thing, you know, I mean. 87 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: Okay, rugby league is different to Super Rugby, though isn't it. 88 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: Yeah it is, But isn't everybody on rugby league these days? 89 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 90 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: That's right. So do you still watch a little bit 91 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: of the Force. 92 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: So the Force has been really good this year and 93 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: they're going to, you know, probably miss out on the 94 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: finals again. 95 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: Well I'll go to the same as you. I will 96 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: go to the. 97 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: Game when it's in Perth, but I won't sit down 98 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: and watch it really and yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go 99 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: to the game. 100 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: I enjoy going to the game. Why at you watching it? 101 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: Because I probably prefer to watch rugby league? 102 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Yeah mate, oh mate, No, Listen, they've got a major 103 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: problem with the pair of us and just talking about 104 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: this and without any shame at all. 105 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: Ollie, thank you.
