1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. We've had a busy morning,

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: but we always have time to talk to our Prime Minister,

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Albanezi.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: Good morning, Hello, Good morning to both of you.

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: We were just talking about the coffee intake of some

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: of America's presidents. Right up there was Teddy Roosevelt, who

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: would have, they say, around a gallon of black coffee

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: or four liters of our coffee.

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: That makes me feel better about my intake.

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: I've got to say, well, how do you stay awake?

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: What's your caffeine intake?

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: I will have a couple in the morning, and I

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: am just talking with you on my second cup of

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 2: coffee this morning, and then, depending upon what's happening during

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: the day, sometimes I will have one more, never after

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: sort of eleven o'clock, But except for when Parliament sits,

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: where I have a bit of a ritual, which is

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: at about Whenny the two before question time, I have

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 2: a little piccolo. Yeah, get me a little a little

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: per cup, you know, before questioned.

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Amanda has a cup of soup at that time. I

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: do I have a little cup of soup.

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: I do I make this studio smell like an old

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: people's home. I start to get to the cup of soups?

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: Are they the old cup of soup like in the

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: in the sasha.

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: In the sashet. And my favorite, I must say, is

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: basic tomato.

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: But tomato never came in that color. I don't know what.

30
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what. It's that iridescent pig.

31
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: So the interesting rate like the chicken noodle. Yes, I

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: swear you've got a little bit of noodle in. I

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: used to quite like that. I haven't had one for

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: a little while.

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I've got to say, stop on your wedding menus.

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: We did a cup of soup.

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: When you two were finished talking about soup. How about

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: how about we talk about the interest rates. So last

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: night we had this call. We had the pub test.

40
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: This morning we put it to the pub test. Do

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: interest rates? The interest rate drop doesn't pass the pub test.

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: This guy kind of summed it up a big mortgage.

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: I feel like a rat on a whirl or someone

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: in the matrix. To me, it doesn't really pass the

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: pub test. So I appreciate one hundred bucks a month,

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: but everything else has gone up.

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: So you know, I still, like I said, I feel

48
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: like a rat in the world.

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: And it just keeps coming back and back and back.

50
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: That's not whether you'd rather be a rat in the

51
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: wheel or in the matrix. But I guess that's these

52
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: are the cause he lives. That's what we're talking about.

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: And really for this election campaign for you, it's all

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: about cost.

55
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Of living, absolutely, and this doesn't solve all the problems,

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: of course, it's just one decrease of a quarter of

57
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: a percent, but it does show that things they're heading

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: in the right direction. It is positive and there has

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: been stability for more than a year. We have fought

60
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: very hard to get inflation down, wages up, and now

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: interest rates are heading in the right direction, which is down,

62
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: and so that is positive for Australians and I think

63
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: it is welcome news, whilst of course not meaning that

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: cost of living pressures have gone away, but when you

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: have those indicators inflation down, everyone's got a tax cut,

66
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: and the right things going up as well, which are wages,

67
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: then that is a positive direction. And it's been hard.

68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: Inflation had a six in front of it when we

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: came to office and was going up. Now it's got

70
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: a two in front of it and it's going down.

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: And of course interest rates started to increase before we

72
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: came into government.

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the conversation with Donald Trump. What's the

74
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: first question you say to Donald Trump? So Amana and

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: I were just talking about this the other day. I

76
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: would instantly say, so, how are you going with golf?

77
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: Was that your first your first line? Sort of flatter

78
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: him a bit? What do you even do because there's

79
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on you in that moment?

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: No, No, I didn't. Although we did talk about golf.

81
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: We talked about the Super Bowl and Jordan Malatter being

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: the first Australian to win a Super Bowl championship. I

83
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: did drop into the conversation that he was a South

84
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: Sydney junior and that I was on the board and that's.

85
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: South South Sydney to do that.

86
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: He's familiar, of course with Russell Crow and James Packer,

87
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: who two of the people who have an ownership stake

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: in South We had a chat about. We did have

89
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 2: a chat about golf. I told him I'd appointed Greg

90
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: Norman to the board of the Bridgbane Olympic Games and

91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: that Greg was going to serve Australia well as a

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: way of him in putting things back to the country.

93
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: But we talked of course about our common entry sid

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: ucas in our economic relationship. There's a really warm conversation

95
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: over about forty minutes and it was positive. And that's

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: how you build relations is by engaging.

97
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to just ask, say, for example, he said, right,

98
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm not going to do any select with tariffs. How

99
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: bad would that affect this?

100
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: Well, I think the economists are having a look at

101
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: the general impact of the change in US policy on

102
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: the global economy. So I think whilst tariffs, of course

103
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: on any of our goods will have an impact on us,

104
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: there is also an impact of broader economic changes. If

105
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: there are tariffs on our economic partners. We of course

106
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: have tryin it as our major trading partner if they

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: slowed down because of tariffs, and that has an impact

108
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: on how much we're exporting to China. So we do

109
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: live in uncertain times at the moment. What my job

110
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: is to do our best to represent Australian national interests.

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: Of course, if there are tariffs right across the board,

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: then that has an impact right across the board as well.

113
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: A few more golf questions, Well.

114
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: I just hope that Australia's national interests aren't relying upon

115
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: my ability to play golf very well.

116
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Imagine if it all came down to that, you better

117
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: get out there in crack.

118
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: To get a holy one. I'm better on the tennis

119
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 2: court than the golf course.

120
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: This is something. And you've got your wedding coming up.

121
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: How's that all going is? Are you Bridezilla or is

122
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: Jodi doing all the planning?

123
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Oh well, we're not neither of us doing much planning

124
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: at the moment. We to get through the election. Our

125
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: focus is on that and after that, of course, it's

126
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: now a bit over a year. I of course proposed

127
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: on Valentine's Day last year, and it's lovely having that certainty,

128
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: and it's just fantastic at my time in life to

129
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: find someone I want to spend the rest of my

130
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: life with.

131
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: So the wedding won't be on April twelve or anything

132
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: like that.

133
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: No, the wedding will be the election of the year.

134
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: Everyone's trying to have a bit. I spoke to someone

135
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: this morning who's ACTE Visits, absolutely convinced that I'm driving

136
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: to Government House this Sunday to call the election. So

137
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: you know, I think what it is is this is

138
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: a real argument for four year fixed terms. We've tried

139
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: a couple of times. Hard to get referendums passed in

140
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: this country, as we know. But you know we're the

141
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: elections due on May seventeen or before, yep, and I

142
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: can confirm it will be on May seventeen or before.

143
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: How about that? Every time you're get in your car,

144
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: everyone saying, wheezy.

145
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: Pratt, the car with the flag on the front.

146
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: Right, we'll see at the tennis court. Well, Anthony almanize.

147
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: It's always great to catch up with you if you

148
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: need some mcs for the wedding because the carle's on

149
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: the nose a bit so man and I happy to

150
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: fill in.

151
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd be. You be a good pair. But we

152
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: are something. We're planning, something reasonably small. I've got to say.

153
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: Although Jodie does have a lot of relatives, I haven't

154
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,599
Speaker 2: got very many, but she's got they're coming out of

155
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: the woodburg.

156
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: You might get some salad box.

157
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: You're already doing the you're already doing the cow.

158
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,520
