1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,520
Speaker 1: And with us.

2
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 2: Now is Oli Peterson, ABC Perth Radio Drive presenter, Hello, Ali,

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 2: Hello Header Now Okay, big day for the Nationals and

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: what's the meeting about?

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 3: So we just heard there in the world wise, David

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 3: little Prab will hold on to the leadership of the

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 3: National Party. He earlier met with Susan Lee to try

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: and kiss and make up and reunify the coalition. That

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: has not happened at this stage, but as we speak

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: right now, both National MPs and Liberal MPs in Canberra

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: are trying to thrash out some sort of coalition agreement

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 3: once again. Darren Chester, who used to be a cabinet

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: minister in the former coalition government, he has put forward

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: a motion to try and reunify the opposition and look ultimately,

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: Susan Lee's talking tough, saying that by Friday, if they

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: don't kiss and make up, then she will appoint ministers

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 3: exclusively from the Liberal Party. And there's a fair few

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: Nationals who'd be upset with that head because not only

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: would they not have a shadow ministry, the pay doesn't

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: go with that as well, so they'll be sitting there

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: on the backbenches for a few years and less dollars

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: than they had an anticipation.

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so would you say odds on they will reunify, Absolutely,

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: they will.

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: They need to reunify. There's not enough talent in either

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: party at the moment to go it alone and try

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: and hold the government to accounts. But you know, after

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: the summer that the Prime Minister endured, he is completely

29
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: nutterly off the hook because the opposition is just tearing

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: itself apart.

31
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite wild that they've taken the attention away

32
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: from him. Listen, what happened to this woman in Japan?

33
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: Well, that's what we don't know exactly yet, but she

34
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: was over there on a ski trip with her family

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: and it now may appear as though, which sounds absolutely awful,

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: she had a heart attack and she died while on

37
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: a chairlift. The initial reports indicated that she had died

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: in an accident at that scared resort there in Japan.

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: Twenty two year old woman who is an Australian was

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: left hanging in midair trying to get off that chairlift

41
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: when a buckle on her outfit court onto the chair.

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: But to believe she may have had a heart attack.

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: So that's a harrowing a situation for her family. The

44
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: Australia Department of Foreign Affairs is involved trying to provide

45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: some assistance to the family of that woman who died

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: there on the ski fields in Japan.

47
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the spirit tax going to rise by?

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: Like over one hundred bucks a leter a year. Like,

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: it's just getting so expensive now if you want to

50
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: go and have a little bit of gym beam or

51
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: a little whiskey, or maybe it's into a bit of

52
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: vodka on Saturday night, then all of a sudden, this

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: happens every year. We have the spirits tax going up

54
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 3: twice a year, so it's one hundred and eight dollars

55
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: a liter. The spirits tax is set to rise. We've

56
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: also got the fuel excite going up today. But you

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: know our boat did it for us here that he

58
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: decided to just you know, press the paws button on schooners.

59
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: So you know, beers are frozen for two years. So

60
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: maybe you'll just go for a pint even instead of

61
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: maybe going for the for the spirits.

62
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll just make you fast.

63
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: Wonted, Holy listen, this is a bit random, But do
