1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Ozzie Prome Minister. Albow has responded to our own Prime 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Minister's joke about Ossie's in Parliament yesterday. So, Chris Luxen, 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: this is what he said when he was defending Paul 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,159 Speaker 1: Goldsmith's decision to cut all the Marty words out of 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: an invitation to an Ossie cabinet minister. And what I'd 6 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: say to you. 7 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: In my dealings with Australians, it's always pays to be 8 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: incredibly simple and clear and use English. 9 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: Here's what Albow thinks of that. 10 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: Christopher Luxen's a friend of mine, but I often think 11 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: that whilst we both speak English, sometimes we need interpreters 12 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 2: with the Kiwi accent. From time to time things can 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: be missed between us and Lord. 14 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: It's rich coming from him with that accent. 15 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 3: Right, international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 3: mind for New Zealand business. 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: Murray old Ozsi correspondents with us now heymus yet bonds 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: of beauty, beauty bombs, mate. I mean even there, you 19 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: must appreciate that Albow's accent is atrocious. 20 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 3: Well matey, Yes, I mean he does seem to have 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: a unique way of mangling Australian English. That's for sure. 22 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 3: But I remember my mum bless her years ago. I'd 23 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 3: come home for a holiday to crash church and said, massa, 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 3: I don't understand the what just sagen? So even poor 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 3: old mum struggled. 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: It's a really bad qui accent. We're going to forgive you. 27 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: Hey. 28 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: So I see your governor is still talking tough on 29 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: maybe hiking the old oc. 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 3: Are there absolutely right? Michelle Bullock says the bank will 31 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: not hesitate to lift rates if inflation looks like getting 32 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: out of hands. She said that is the number one 33 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 3: issue over here. The Reserve Bank did keep the cash 34 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: right on hold heather on Tuesday, as we know, at 35 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 3: that regular meeting and suggested the earliest rate cut would 36 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 3: come early in twenty twenty five, which would time in 37 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 3: with the government's planned election. A pretty damn well. But 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: the governor today had a speech in northern New South 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 3: Wales and said, guess what. The board is focused on 40 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: getting inflation down because it impacts everybody. One third of 41 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: Australians have a mortgage and that's tough. 42 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: She said. 43 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: Agreed, lots and lots of people are struggling, but she's 44 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 3: more concerned about the greater good and the bank's inflation 45 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 3: target range two to three percent. By Christmas twenty twenty five, 46 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: they're saying the rate right now of inflation three point 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: eight percent and whatch Also for a bit of a 48 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 3: bonfight between the Reserve Bank and the government, the government, 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: I should say it's my Australian accident the government. Because 50 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: the Government says things are looking good, the Reserve Bank 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: says not so flash. Yeah. 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Hey, sucks to be Alan Joyce today, isn't it. 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not worried about inflation though.
