1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Already and this is the Daily This is the Daily OS. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 2: Oh, now it makes sense. 3 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 3: Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Tuesday, 4 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 3: the eighteenth of February. 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm Zara, I'm Billy. 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 3: We are well and truly getting close to election season, 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 3: with the next federal election to be held before May 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 3: seventeen this year. Over the past few days, there's been 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 3: a sweep of new polling released, with all three polls 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: pointing to a possible labor loss. In today's podcast, we're 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 3: going to explain the latest on the election and what 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 3: the new polling could tell us about Australia's next government. 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: All right, Zara, So before we get into the polling, 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: I first want to look at when the election. 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: Actually is because the golden question. 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: We are starting to hear more and more in the 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: news cycle about the election. So for those who are 18 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: a bit confused, but when this election is same, what 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: can you tell us? 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? 21 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: So the problem is that at the moment we're in 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 3: a bit of no man's land. So the thing is 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 3: that it's very clear there is an election coming both side. 24 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: There has to be. There has to be. Well, you've 25 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: gotten to. 26 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: My point before there both has to be and it 27 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: feels like we're in an unofficial election season. 28 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: So as a quick refresher, now the Billy's ruined this. 29 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 3: Podcast, Australian election dates aren't set at regular intervals, so 30 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: when it comes to the US, you know every time 31 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: when there's going to be an election. In Australia, it's 32 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: actually the Prime minister's job to call an election. Now 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,919 Speaker 3: this is done by him or her visiting the Governor General, 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 3: which is the King's representative, and the Governor General then 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: issues ritz which is when the election becomes official. There 36 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: are parameters though, that the Prime Minister needs to operate in. 37 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: So the Constitution and the Australian Electoral Act both specify 38 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: the last possible date. 39 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: For an election. 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: So for this election cycle, the election can be held 41 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: no later than the seventeenth of May, and that's almost. 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: Exactly three years after the last election. 43 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: The other small things that have to happen is that 44 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: it has to be held on a Saturday, and that 45 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: there has to be thirty three days between calling an 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 3: election and the election actually being held. Lots of mathematics 47 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: there all to say it has to happen before the 48 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,839 Speaker 3: seventeenth of May, and it could actually happen as soon 49 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: as this week. You know, the Prime Minister could on 50 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: Sunday call an election, which would mean in thirty three 51 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: days time there would be an election. But there is 52 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: a bit for him to juggle in this scenario. There's 53 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: a wa state election, there's some expected interest rate carts, 54 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 3: there's school holidays, and there's a budget. So the Prime 55 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: Minister needs to basically work all around that and figure 56 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: out the best timing for when an election should happen 57 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: in you know, cynically. 58 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Or just realistically to help Labour's chance of winning. 59 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: A very big call for him to make. So we 60 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: know that one hundred percent needs to happen before May seventeen, 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: but which Saturday before then is still unknown. Yeah, we're 62 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: hoping it won't be April twelve so that I can 63 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 2: allegedly run by half. 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 3: I was going to say, not for any official reason, 65 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: but Billy is meant to be running a marathon. So 66 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 3: Prime Minister, if I'm Prime Minister, if you're listening, please 67 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: not that say. 68 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: But that hasn't stopped both parties from starting their unofficial 69 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: election campaigns. What can you tell us about what they're 70 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: starting to tell us about what they would do if 71 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: either were elected. 72 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so as soon as the summer holidays, I guess 73 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: were over, both Labor and the Coalition marine full electioneering mode, 74 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: even though as we said, no election has been called yet. 75 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: So last week was a sitting week. 76 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: Which is when both houses of Parliament are basically in session, 77 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: and that gives the government a chance to introduce and 78 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: pass legislation, and that's what the Labor government did. They 79 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: used this as an opportunity to really push through some 80 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 3: of their landmark legislation. So we saw, for example, this 81 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: childcare subsidy that the government had announced a little while 82 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: ago actually passed through Parliament and it'll come into a 83 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: fe next year. And the government were also able to 84 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: pass electoral donation reforms, which they had had like on 85 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: the back burner for a really really long time, but 86 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: managed to pass through in that last sitting week. On 87 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 3: the other hand, the opposition spent the last week also 88 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 3: talking about some of the big issues that they'll be 89 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 3: taking into the election. There was a lot about anti semitism, 90 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: there was a lot about breaking up insurance companies. That's 91 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 3: continued into this week. I heard the Opposition leader talking 92 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: about it yesterday and also more again about the economy, 93 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: about household recession and prices of groceries and things like that. 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: So those are kind of the two big things that 95 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 3: the government and opposition have been focusing on. 96 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: Okay, so on the policy front, both major parties are 97 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: really gearing up. 98 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: But the reason we're talking about it today is because 100 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: over the weekend there was new polling that came out. 101 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: It was so, what can you tell us about that? 102 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: Well, i'll give you along and a short answer. So 103 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: short answer is that the polling doesn't look good for 104 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 3: Prime Minister Anthony Alpinsi. But the long answer is a 105 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: bit more nuanced than that. And the long answer is 106 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: that it doesn't look good for thy Albanesi. But equally 107 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: it doesn't look like Peter Dudden and the coalition could 108 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 3: reach a majority if the election were called today. Now, 109 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 3: there's a polling company called Yugov and they published this 110 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: seat by seat breakdown and that was kind of the 111 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: big centerpiece that was released over the weekend. And what 112 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 3: we found out is that that poll shows the coalition 113 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: is on track to win approximately seventy three seats at 114 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: the next election, up from its current tally of fifty 115 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: five Meanwhile, that same poll showed that Labor could win 116 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: around sixty six seats, and that's down from seventy eight seats. 117 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 3: So therefore, if these figures were to be replicated on 118 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: polling day, so on the day of the election, if 119 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 3: all of this polling was to be one hundred percent 120 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 3: accurate and that was what was going to unfold, coalition 121 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 3: leader Peter Dudden would be in a stronger position than 122 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 3: Anthony Albanesi to form a minority government, which would mean 123 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: a hung parliament. So alongside this uvgov polling, there was 124 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: also a news poll poll was published yesterday that also 125 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: put the Liberal Party ahead on a two party preferred basis, 126 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 3: with the Libs polling at around fifty one percent and 127 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: Labor at around forty nine percent. Just to give you 128 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: some contexts to the peaks and troughs of where we've 129 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: been and I guess where we're going. In September of 130 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, at its peak, Labor was polling at 131 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: around fifty seven percent, which is almost ten points higher 132 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 3: than they were in the poll published yesterday. 133 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: So you can pretty safely say that their popularity, the 134 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: Labor Party's popularity has seen decrease. 135 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely a minute, it's ambiguous. 136 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, And just before you mentioned hung parliament, 137 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: do you want to just explain what actually that is, 138 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: because it's been a while since we've had one in Australia. 139 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And I think it's going to be spoken 140 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 3: about and mentioned a lot through this election campaign, especially 141 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: if this polling maintains. So at this election, there's going 142 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: to be one hundred and fifty seats up for grabs 143 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 3: in the House of Representatives. That's one less seat than 144 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: the last election because there's been a bitter a redistribution there. 145 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: That's not all we're focusing on today. 146 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: So if there's one hundred and fifty seats up for grabs, 147 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: in order to win majority government, a party needs to 148 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: win seventy six seats. That's the golden number they need 149 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: to get to. If they don't get to that number, 150 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: that's when you see minority government or a hung parliament, 151 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 3: and that's when one of the major parties needs to 152 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 3: negotiate to form that minority government by winning enough support 153 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: from either the independents, so those teals that we've seen 154 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: in the past, or minor parties like the Greens or 155 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: Center Alliance to basically make up the gap to that 156 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 3: magic seventy six. It doesn't mean that, for example, the 157 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: Teals and the Coalition would formerly join forces. There wouldn't 158 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: be a new party name for the three of them 159 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: or anything like that. It would just mean that they 160 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: would agree to guarantee confidence and supply. That just means 161 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: that they would keep the government in power and they'd 162 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: vote to pass the budget so that money could be allocated. Essentially, 163 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: they would just be ensuring that the government could do 164 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: its job, but not necessarily voting with them on every 165 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: policy at all in exchange for the support. Hypothetically, if 166 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: this were to happen, minor parties in independence could impose 167 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: some conditions, so they'd want support for certain policies or 168 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: certain ideas that they pushed in parliament. And so the reason, 169 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 3: as I mentioned before, that we're talking about this today 170 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: is because that UGO poll puts a hung parliament at 171 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: a seventy eight percent probability. 172 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: That's extremely high, that is very high. 173 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: Next to that, it puts a coalition majority at about 174 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 3: nineteen percent probability and a Labor majority at three percent. 175 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: So yeah, based on those numbers, we could be looking 176 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 3: most likely at a hung parliament in the next session 177 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: of parliament. 178 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: And when was the last time Australia went to an 179 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: election and did elect a minority government. I think it 180 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: was when Julia Gillard. 181 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: It was Juliagular, correct, and she had to form minority 182 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: government with the Greens and with certain independents who were 183 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: in Parliament at that time. 184 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: But that's not like we've said, that's not a certain outcome. 185 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 2: That's just what polling is suggesting. 186 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: Yes, And Harry in our office likes to remind us 187 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: on an almost daily basis that poles cannot predict the 188 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: outcome of an election, as he likes to say. Instead, 189 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 3: they just capture a snapshot of the voter's mood. If 190 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: anyone in this office is listening, they will be familiar 191 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 3: with that. And it is worth touching on because the 192 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 3: polls were famously wrong in twenty nineteen when they predicted 193 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 3: Labor would win the election. 194 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: Yes, my first sorry, I just put my hand off 195 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: the top because my favorite fun fact is that sports 196 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: Bet paid out the election results two days early, thinking 197 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: that Labor would win based on the polls, and then 198 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: they way wrong and they were wrong, and it meant 199 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: that everyone who predicted Labor got their money, but then 200 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: also everyone who predicted the coalition also got their money. 201 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy. I did look at sports Bet 202 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 3: the other day. It also does have the coalition ahead 203 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 3: for this election. But again I think just saying that 204 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: is to say that poles can be wrong. It's been 205 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 3: wrong in the US a number of times. It's been 206 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: wrong in a number of jurisdictions. But here in Australia 207 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: the last time around they were pretty much on the nose. 208 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see how they perform this time. 209 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: And does the pollingd tell us what the biggest issues 210 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: are that Australians will be voting on this election. 211 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: Well, we did have someone in the team speak to 212 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: Paul Smith from YouGov and he said that the main 213 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 3: voting issues center around the cost of living crisis, specifically 214 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: when it comes to housing, grocery prices and wages, which 215 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: I don't think will surprise anyone. We've heard this time 216 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 3: and time again. He said specifically about the government. People 217 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 3: are not angry at the government, but they're just disappointed 218 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 3: and that they're looking for big economic change. He said, 219 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: whether it's about their wages being able to afford a 220 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: house being able to go to a doctor that bulk bills. 221 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: They want to see those big changes. And so just 222 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 3: hearing that and knowing what we do about the electorate, 223 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 3: it is very clear that this election is shaping up 224 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 3: to be one that will be fought and potentially lost 225 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: on matters pertaining to the economy. 226 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: And it's a particularly pertinent time to be talking about 227 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: the economy because today there is a Bank of Australia 228 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 2: is making its latest decision on the cash rate, which 229 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: we commonly refer to them making a decision about interest 230 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: rates because it directly impacts people who are borrowing money 231 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: from banks. It's widely expected that they will cut interest rates, 232 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: but we will have to wait and see it. 233 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: And if they do, yeah, if they do, it'll be 234 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: the first time in four years. 235 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 236 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 2: Crazy. So at two point thirty pm today we are 237 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: expecting news on that and that will no doubt playing 238 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,119 Speaker 2: to campaigns on both sides as it unfolds. 239 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll be. 240 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 2: Keeping a close eye on that and we'll keep you 241 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 2: updated on what the result is in this afternoon's headlines. 242 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for listening to this episode of 243 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 2: The Daily Ods.
