1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Rage in the House, Chaos in the House for a

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: second day in a row, this over the pay equity Bill.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: The question for National is whether this outrage in Parliament

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: will translate to outrage at the ballot box. Sure there

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: is a new legal framework that's been set up with

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: higher thresholds for pay equity claims, but Labour is doing

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: its darndest to create the impression that there's not and

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: if that impression sticks, it could I stress, could be

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: a problem for National. Dutton was emasculated at the poll's

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: last Saturday in part because he wasn't well liked by women.

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: The red landslide sweets Heartland handed Elbow the wind and

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: cost him his own seat. In Brisbane's northern suburbs and

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: across Queensland, young voters and women broke for Elbow. So

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: the question for National is whether it's just created a

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: problem for twenty twenty six. Will women give Luxen a

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: swift kick in the gonads next year? That's the question.

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: The bill does create a risk of them doing so,

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: especially the fact it's ran through under urgency. To counter that,

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: you've got to sell the changes right now in the

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: fog of war, they're not getting the cut through the

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: critics your jan Tinetti's. They're winning the pr game, but

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: when the dust settles, they need to explain with specific examples,

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: which of those thirty three deals in the pipeline all

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: deals done thus far were bad or rotten and why

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: this is not to say all women vote the same

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: or even together in a block. Life is not one

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: big sister hit the hood of the Traveling Pants. After all,

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: women didn't show up for KRMLA Harris last November, and

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: the States remember that. Even though MSNBC was basically saying

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: Trump would remove your womb, women ditched labor after Jacinda

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: left the building and the NATS picked them up. This

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: pay equity bill is a risk to that support. A

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: bit of a gamble, not one that can't be overcome,

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: but you've got to sell your story. For more from
