1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Well, after six months and covering more than fourteen thousand 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: grueling kilometers, Pat Farmers run for the Voice yesterday reached ularue. Now, 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: when the ultra marathon runner and former Liberal MPs started 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: the run, we know that support for the Voice was 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: at fifty eight percent. That number has dropped substantially as 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: we head to the polls on Saturday. Now, Pat Farmer 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: joins me on the line right now, Good morning to you. 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: Pat, Hi, Katie, how are you? 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 3: I'm good. How are the legs? Mate? 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: Let me tell you they're a little bit sore and tired, 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 2: and there's been better days that you know. I got 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: the job done. With what I've gotten, I'm pleased to 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: have been able to complete it. 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: I am absolutely in awe of the fact that you've 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: managed to cover those kinds of kilometers. Pat. I've run 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: one marathon in my life and I'd tell you what 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: it took me about a week to recover. So I 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: don't know how long you're going to need after all 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: that running. 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: Well, I think that's see, Katie, been able to back 21 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: up day after day. You know, I have to be 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: honest with you. At the end of almost every single 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: day out of the last six months, I've been just 24 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: completely exhausted and completely wiped out, and I've looked at 25 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: my legs and a swollen and then you know, I 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: get a night's sleep and the next morning I was 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: ready to go again. I just think that it's pretty 28 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: incredible the human body, what it's capable of. 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: It absolutely is. It's unbelievable. 30 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: In fact, I mean, what was it like though getting 31 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: out of bed each morning after covering all those kilometers? 32 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: Did you have to sort of remind yourself quite often 33 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: why you were doing it? 34 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: I know that was firmly implanted in my mind. I 35 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 2: put six months worth of planning into this journey before 36 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: I started, so I was absolutely committed to the cause, 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: and so there was never any doubt that in my 38 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: mind that I wouldn't complete the journey. It was a 39 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: matter of trying to complete it on time. I made 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: my mind if I had to crawl to the finish line, 41 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: I would I would do that. But but I havn't 42 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: said that. You know that haven't purpose as you describe 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: by wrong at the marathon. When you've got a purpose 44 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: in the finish line insight, even if it's a long 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: long way away, so long as you can visualize it 46 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: and clearly seed in your mind, you can achieve it. Yeah. 47 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: It's the power of the mind as well of the 48 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: as well as the body, isn't it. 49 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, Once or two come together, we're a powerful force. 50 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt now, Pat, when you started on this journey, 51 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: though the support for the voice was around fifty eight percent. 52 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: That support has declined and it's looking like it may 53 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: not get up on Saturday. How are you feeling about that? 54 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: Well, I have to be honest with you, I haven't 55 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: had much of a chance to see the media during 56 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: the course of the journey. In a lot of cases, 57 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: we've had poor reception and haven't been able to even 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: use a phone line, so we relied on a starlink 59 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: for that from time to time. But I've been able 60 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: to live as far as that's concerned. But what I 61 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: have been doing is I've been pressed in the flesh 62 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: with real people on the ground in communities right around Australia. 63 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: The four corners of the country are both indigenous communities 64 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: with truck drivers, with people in caravan parks, you name it. 65 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: And I have to say I disagree with the poles. 66 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: I think I think that there's more of a flavor 67 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: for support for this, and God knows the world needs 68 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: is something positive at the moment. Australia needs to hear 69 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: some positive news at the moment, you know, with everything 70 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: that's happening around the globe, it's so important that we 71 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: have we have something positive and we can move forward 72 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: together on into the future. 73 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: Pat, what are some of the things that people were 74 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: telling you on the ground? As you said, you know, 75 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: you've run through all sorts of places. I'd imagine you've 76 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: spoken to plenty of indigenous people as well. What are 77 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: some of the things that people said to you. 78 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: Look, in a lot of the communities, of the indigenous communities, 79 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: they felt almost a sense of helplessness that they've heard 80 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: a lot of etoric in the past about how things 81 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: will be better and how things will improve and how 82 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: this will get over the line. But they've been let 83 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: down so many times in the past. And this has 84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 2: been something that indigenous communities have been working on for 85 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: a long long time. In fact, they started to come 86 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: together in Ularu on twenty seventeen and been working on 87 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: this every year since then. Towards the moment when they 88 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: put it forward to the government, or cutos to the 89 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: government for putting it on the agenda. Now it's up 90 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: to the Australian people to support those to support those 91 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: leaders and those people in those communities so that we 92 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: can make a difference on the ground. Because what they've 93 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: been saying to me is this, you know that, and 94 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: I saw firsthand a lot of these places have eighteen 95 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: people from various generations living under one roof. And that's 96 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: not just a one off or two off sort of thing. 97 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: It's like a whole community is living like that. There 98 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: is not enough hours, and they're drinking ball water and 99 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: ending up on dialysis machines because a simple simply don't 100 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 2: have filtration systems and they don't have decent, clean drinking 101 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: water and sanitary conditions. You know, there's so many the 102 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: gap is so wide at this point in time that 103 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 2: things need to change. And even the NO voters have 104 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: said to me, you know, when I've asked them the 105 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: question and said, well, do you think that the system 106 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 2: is working the way it is at the moment, they're not. 107 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: And so everybody around the country agrees with that. So 108 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: a step in, a step forward, a step in the 109 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: right direction, is to quite simply look at changing the 110 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: system and driving suggestions from the ground up instead of 111 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: from Canberra down. We all know that Camber likes to 112 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: put everybody into a pigeonhole, into a box and say okay, 113 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: a one size it's all. But my journey around the 114 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 2: country really proved to everybody the diversity of this nation. 115 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: That the top end of the Western show is completely 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: different to the southern end of Victoria and completely different 117 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: to other parts of the country. So it's most important 118 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: that decisions are driven from the ground up to Canberra 119 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 2: and that we get it right. 120 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of people who listen to 121 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: this show, pat some of them have absolutely voted yes. 122 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: There's a lot of them I know who've messaged to 123 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: tell me that they've voted no, and they've said that 124 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: the reason for that is that they really don't think 125 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: that it's going to make a difference to the issues 126 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: that we face here in the territory. But one of 127 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: the arguments, and you've touched on this, that I don't 128 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: know has been successfully sort of executed by the federal 129 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: government is the fact that you know, with every change 130 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: of government, it means that it's a change of policy 131 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: and at the you know, at the stroke of a 132 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: pen in some instances, and those changes can have an 133 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: enormous impact on territory ends and on those living in 134 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: remote communities. So all these policy changes that you see 135 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: over the years and the impact that that then has 136 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: in those remote communities, I would hope that if we 137 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: do have a voice operating in Australia and that we 138 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: have representatives that are really strong representatives from the Northern territory, 139 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: that that will change. 140 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: Okay, you're one hundred percent correct, and your listeners are 141 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: writing feeling that way. But I you know, once again 142 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: I say this to them that to vote know is 143 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: to vote no to any any support or any change whatsoever, 144 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: and to accept the inadequacies of the system that we 145 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: have in place at the moment as just that's good enough, 146 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: and it's not. It's certainly not. So you know, to 147 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: vote yes gives us a chance to change things, to 148 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: change things, and to work things from the ground back 149 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: up instead of from the top down. So it's about 150 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: having a strong foundation. The other point with it all 151 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: is and that I've been in a unique position to 152 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: be able to advocate the cases that when you only 153 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: have legislation on an issue. What happens is another another 154 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: government will come in and they can just change things 155 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: around to suit you. As you said, And the best 156 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 2: way I explained is that people with so many people 157 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: are aware of the fact that railway systems or roads 158 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: who are going to get built by one government. Then 159 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: they spend millions of dollars on a feasibility study, they 160 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: get the process started, and then a new government comes 161 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: in they say we want to spend our money on 162 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: a football stadium, or we want to spend our money 163 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: on a hospital or something else, so they cut that, 164 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: They cut that system. They say we're not doing that, 165 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: and they move on to something else and nothing gets 166 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: completed because they're short terms. If it goes into the Constitution, 167 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: then the politicians have to pay attention to what is 168 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: being put forward to them and they have to answer 169 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: in writing why they are not why they're not doing that, 170 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: and it holds the politicians accountable, and I think that's 171 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: a good thing. At the end of the day. This 172 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: referendum is about empowering the Australian people, all people, all 173 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: people in this country to be able to tell the 174 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: politicians that we want something done, and we want it. 175 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: We want it to move forward. We want the whole 176 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: country move forward, not to have this continuous chop and 177 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: change of ideas with a change of government. 178 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: Pat, we are going to have to get ready to 179 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: wrap up. But I do want to ask you, I mean, 180 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: what do you think the implications are going to be 181 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: on Sunday if. 182 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: The no vote gets up? 183 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: Do you hope that at the very least this means 184 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: that we have now really seen the spotlight shine on 185 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: some of the issues that we've got right around Australia, 186 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: but particularly for us here in the Northern Territory. 187 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it certainly, it certainly has put a spotlight 188 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: on it. But you would know better than me that 189 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: the media quickly move on to something else and Australian 190 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: people will soon forget and move back in the same 191 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 2: position that we're in before, so nothing will have changed. 192 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: And on the world stage, could you imagine how we're 193 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: perceived by the world if the no vote gets up 194 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: and they turn around and they say, well, the Indigenous 195 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: people of Australia original on Tire State island of people 196 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 2: asked to be part of the constitution. Just a very 197 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 2: simple question to be part of the same constitution everybody 198 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: else is part of in Australia, and the Australian people said, no, 199 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: that's embarrassing. 200 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: Pat. 201 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 3: Before I let you go, I know that. 202 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: You know there will be other people listening this morning 203 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: who are saying to themselves, if it was just as 204 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: simple as that, if it was just as simple as 205 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: recognition in the Constitution, you know, I would vote yes. 206 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: But what I'm worried about is that we don't know 207 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: all the ins and outs of how it's going to work. 208 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: I've been explaining this to people around the country, the 209 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: politicians alone, when they say that they don't know the 210 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 2: ins and outs. 211 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: Of all of that. 212 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: Because every single portfolio has an advisory body to it. 213 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: Whether it's an infrastructure, whether it's helf, whether it's education, 214 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: has a body to it. It has a board of 215 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: approximately ten people. They sit around, they put suggestions forward 216 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: to the minister. The minister takes those suggestions on board. 217 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: Some time policy gets put in place, and then you know, 218 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: both the Government and the opposition argue it backwards and forwards. 219 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: It goes up to the Senate, comes back down to 220 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: the House of Representatives and finally gets through and gets passed. 221 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 2: This law. They know that because they do that every 222 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: single day of the week. That's what they are employed 223 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 2: to do as politicians. So when they say that they 224 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: don't have detail, they're lines is they know they are 225 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: the ones that create the detail. But the most important 226 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: thing is that we have to give them permission to 227 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: have that in place so that they can create that 228 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: detail so that we can move forward with this peace 229 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 2: of legislation. And in order to do that, the austrain 230 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: people need to vote yes on Saturday. 231 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: Well, Pat Farmer, it's been good to speak with you 232 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 3: this morning. 233 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Hey, going to celebrate and 234 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: maybe rest those legs over the next couple of days. 235 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: Well, I'm actually going down to Adelaide. I'll fly straight 236 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: down Adelaide in a short while from Milaru and I'll 237 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: spend my time down there campaigning with Nova. Perish that 238 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: both of us are going to be working on the 239 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: polling boosts both today and and pre polling and tomorrow 240 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: and of course on Saturday. So you know this is 241 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: not over for me until the vote vote finally comes 242 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: in on the Saturday night. 243 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: So until then, I can't risk Well, Pat, when you're 244 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: talking to Nova, I saw it at the track last 245 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: Thursday and she got chased by some plovers. 246 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 3: So tell her to stay away from those plovers.
