1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to the Daily Os. It is Tuesday,

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth of May. My name is Sam Keazlowski,

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: joined by Zara Saidler for another episode of the Daily Podcast.

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Today on the podcast, we're going to be talking about

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: the big cabinet announcements made yesterday, well kind of an

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: interim cabinet, and we'll explain why later in the podcast.

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: But Zara, the election results are still trickling. In what

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: happened yesterday.

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Well, as you said, there was the news about the

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: labor cabinet. We'll get to that in today's deep dive.

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: But the other big news of the day was that

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: former Treasurer Josh Fridenberger formally conceded yesterday. So on the

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: night we heard him speak about how it was still

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: mathematically possible for him to win, but yesterday he did

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: admit that that was no longer feasible and doctor Meniku

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: Ryan will become the next MP for Kujong. Fredenberg congratulated

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: Ryan and said that he looks forward to spending more

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: time with his family and of course, Manique Ryan is

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: the first non Liberal ever to hold the seat of Couyong.

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, in Queensland, Premier Anastasia Palichet announced the state will

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: offer free flu vaccines from now until mid June. This

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: is on the back of flu cases appearing to be

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: doubling each week, with more than four thousand cases reported

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: this year.

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: The United Nations has confirmed the number of people forced

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: to flee conflicts, violence, human rights violations and persecution has

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: now passed one hundred million. That is for the first

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: time on record. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees said

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: this must serve as a wake up call to resolve

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: and prevent destructive conflicts, end persecution, and address the underlying

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: causes that force innocent people to flee their homes.

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: And your Tuesday good news. The first concert at Kiev's

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Opera House has been held since Russia's invasion began in

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: late February. A performance of Racinis the Barber of Seville

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: ended with a ten minute standing ovation.

36
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: All right, Sam, So yesterday we saw a couple of

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: the new Labour cabinet members being sworn in. That was

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: at the Governor General's house, and here was Anthony Albanesi

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: at that time, I, Anthony.

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: Norman ALBERESI do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: I will well and truly serve the Commonwealth of Australia,

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: her Land and her people in the office of Prime Minister.

43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: So the reason that this was such a speedy affair

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: is because Anthony Aberanzi and new Foreign Minister Penny Wang

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: are off to a quad meeting in Tokyo that is

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: being held today and I'll talk you through that in

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: a little while, But first Sam, let's go through who

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: exactly this new interim cabinet is.

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a speedy turnaround for those who were

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: sworn in. It was followed by a press conference from

51
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: the new ministers, so we got a real sense of

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: where the priorities for this new Labor government. Lie Zara,

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: take me through who was sworn in. We know Anthony

54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Alberanzi was the big one. He was sworn in first.

55
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: Who came after him?

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: So after ALBERNIZI was Richard Marles. He's the new Deputy

57
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: Prime Minister and in this interim period is also the

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: Employment Minister. He's been a member of Parliament since two

59
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: thousand and seven and was the Trade Minister for the

60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: last two months of the Rudd government in twenty thirteen,

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: so not that long, but he did serve as that

62
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: he was the shadow Defense Minister for five years, but

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: for the past year he was also the Shadow Minister

64
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: for Employment, Skills and Small Business. Then if we go

65
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: to Pennywong, who I mentioned earlier. She is Australia's next

66
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: foreign Minister. She's been in the Parliament in the Senate

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: so not in the House of Representatives since two thousand

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: and one, and was the Climate Change Minister and then

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: Finance Minister in the Rudd and Gillard governments. Pennywog importantly

70
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: is the first foreign Minister in Australian history to have

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: been born overseas. She was born in Malaysia. Now that

72
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm on a roll, I'll keep going with the last two.

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: There was Jim Chalmers. You would have seen a lot

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: of him during this campaign. He is now the Treasurer.

75
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: He's been around since twenty thirteen and he was Shadow

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: Treasurer since twenty nineteen. He's worked in the office of

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: the former Labour Treasurer Wayne Swan, including during the GFC,

78
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: so he will be the new Treasurer what Josh Freidenberg

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: was prior to this weekend. Then finally Katie Gallagher, she

80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: is the Minister for Finance, Minister for Women and Attorney

81
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: General in this interim period. She has been in Parliament

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen and was previously the Chief Minister of

83
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: the Act. So the territory's version of a premier.

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Okay, taking a step back. Why are we seeing five

85
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: members of the government being sworn in so quickly? What's

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: going on in the world this week?

87
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: We knew that if Anthony Alberizi won Saturday Nights election,

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: he had already told us that he was going to

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: speed through that swearing in ceremony to allow him and

90
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: whoever the Foreign Minister was going to be in this case,

91
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: Penny Wong to attend the Quad Meeting. Now, the Quad

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: Meeting a meeting of leaders from the US, India and Japan,

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: and it's known as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or for short,

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: the Quad. The Quad is an informal grouping. It's designed

95
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: to discuss shared interests in the Pacific and Indian oceans

96
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: and the timing of the meeting was set in April,

97
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: with the plan to be that either Scott Morrison or

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: Anthony Aberanzi would attend depending on the outcome of the election.

99
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: So Albanesi and Pennyonong were sworn into office, and now

100
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: it'll be that Richard Miles is the acting Prime Minister.

101
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: So I said earlier he's the deputy prime minister. But

102
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: with now Prime Minister Anthony Aberenesi out of the country,

103
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: we do have an acting prime minister.

104
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy to think, if you take a step back,

105
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: that this is somebody who's just done a very bruising

106
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: six week campaign.

107
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: I'm a bit tired for him.

108
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted. He's just done the campaign. He's had a

109
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: win on Saturday night, He's had you know, a lot

110
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: of results to digest on the Sunday. He's then been

111
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: sworn in on the Monday and he's already in the

112
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: air on his way to his first international meeting. It's

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: clearly a prioritization of Australia's reputation on the world stage

114
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: from this new Albanesi government, and we'll expect to see

115
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: a more formed cabinet perhaps when he's back in the country.

116
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: While he's over there, Zara, do we know what the

117
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: leaders are going to be discussing.

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: Well, we know that last time they spoke about the

119
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: coordination on climate change, infrastructure, global supply of vaccines. It

120
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: was of course during the height of the pandemic, cybersecurity

121
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: and a scholarship program. They committed to a free, open,

122
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: inclusive and resilient Indo Pacific. So this meeting is expected

123
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: to include discussions, of course about the war in Ukraine,

124
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: China's ambitions in Taiwan, and China security agreement that we've

125
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: been speaking about a fair bit with the Solomon Islands.

126
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: And as customary for world leaders to congratulate their allies

127
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: when they elect a new leader, have we heard anything

128
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: from these leaders in particular about our new prime minister.

129
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: The three other Quad leaders have all congratulated Anthony Alberzi

130
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: on his victory, and according to the White House, Joe

131
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: Biden told Albanese in a phone call that he appreciated

132
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: Alberze's commitment to the US Australia Alliance and that he

133
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 2: hoped to make it stronger.

134
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Still, we're going to be looking out for any big

135
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: announcements from this Quad summit, as well as murmurings of

136
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: what the new cabinet could look like. These are the

137
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: future ministers in some very important portfolios, so we'll make

138
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: sure to keep you across that. Zara I quickly wont

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: the turn to the opposition, which last week was the government.

140
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Do we have a sense of who the new leader

141
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: of the opposition is going to be.

142
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: There are quite a few options, but just to quickly

143
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: cover it off. It seems as though Peter Dudden is

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: the front runner. He's obviously made leadership tilts in the past.

145
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: He tried to become leader during Malcolm Tambules's time, but

146
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: he is reported to have told colleagues he plans to

147
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: run again. He is a conservative, so it'll be interesting

148
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: to see how the moderates that are left in the

149
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: party would feel about that. There's also Karen Andrews, who

150
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: has said that it was too early to discuss leadership

151
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 2: but that she would consider running for deputy. That's Dan Tien.

152
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: He's in the seat of one and he said on

153
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: Sunday it was too premature to be talking about it,

154
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: but it's understood that he could also be considering running.

155
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: There's Bridget Archer. She is in a really interesting position

156
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: because really marginal seat that she won and she is

157
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: a moderate. She said in an interview yesterday that she

158
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: would potentially run for the deputy position to stop the

159
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: party moving too far to the right, and that's how

160
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: the Labor Party tends to sort itself out. In leadership positions,

161
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: they'll get someone from the right of the party, then

162
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: someone from the left of the party in the deputy

163
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: position or vice versa, so that could be interesting. There

164
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: are a couple other people who we think have thrown

165
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: their hats in the ring, but again it's a bit

166
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: early to tell, and we will have to watch and

167
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: see what happens to this very new and different Liberal Party.

168
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: It certainly is a very different looking camera to this

169
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: time last week. We're going to make sure you are

170
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: fully across who these new characters of the news are

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: going to be. It's going to take a little bit

172
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: of time to get to know them, but we're going

173
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: to take you through all of that step by step.

174
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: That's all we've got time for on today's episode of

175
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: The Daily Os. If you enjoyed what you heard today,

176
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: give us a review or a rating on Spotify and

177
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: find us on Instagram. It's where now over three hundred

178
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: and sixty thousand people get their news. Yep, it was

179
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good week for the Daily Os with our

180
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: Instagram audience. And we'll see you on the
