1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Anthony albanezis with us.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Good morning, great to be here.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 3: Welcome.

4
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 4: You have indeed been chaperoning the Chinese Premier Lee around

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 4: town and rock lobsters has been on the agenda.

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: It hasn't. It was on the menu yesterday.

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 5: It was at lunch, just as a subtle way of

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 5: pitching up for the impediments that are there for the

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 5: great rock lobsters that come from here in Wa and

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 5: also South Australia and some other places as well around Australia.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 5: One of the things about the impediments and the pitches.

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 5: We want the income and the economic benefit of trade

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 5: with China. But China gets a good deal too because

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 5: they get the best products in the world.

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: I mean, we've got we've got mining resources, wine, tourism

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: and rock lobsters.

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: We've got game here in Wa.

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: You sure do it well. Here's an interesting fun fact

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: for you.

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 5: Seventy five percent of Bo's exports go to one country.

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: There you go, China.

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 5: It really really matters for jobs and economic activity here,

23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 5: which is why it was important to bring Premier League here.

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 5: I brought Prime Minister Kashita here of Japan a year ago,

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 5: and it's important that world leaders get to see that

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 5: it's not about the Sydney Melbourne Canberra triangle.

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: Where a big nation and I thought it was terrific.

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 5: The Premier League agreed to go to Adelaide, Canberra and Perth,

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 5: three great cities, our national capital. Adelaide was all about

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 5: the pandas, all about the pandas.

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: We wouldn't say no to a.

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: Getting two younger ones there and we hope that those

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 5: younger pandas produced little.

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: Young because the last it wasn't working for.

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 5: That didn't really they didn't get it to speak, but

36
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 5: we are hoping that occurs. But here, of course the

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 5: Chinese Australian community as well, very strong here. It was

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 5: a great reception yesterday organized by the Chunghwar Association and

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: it was it was a really good visit. We got

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 5: to see as well Kings Park of course we had

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: the business round table and those pictures of myself and

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: Premier Leaus with the beautiful Swan River the landscape in

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 5: the background. It is such a great city here will

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 5: be beamed of course, would have been beamed to over

45
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: a billion people there in China, so it's like a

46
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 5: big free add Yes, it is of come to w

47
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 5: a help the tourism and hoity industry.

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, apart from the press that we've seen and that impact.

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 6: How deep are the talk so this time around really deep.

50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 5: We now have met in China when I visited last

51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: year to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Whitlam government

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 5: recognized in China, but also we've met on the sidelines

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 5: of events like the G twenty and other big international forums,

54
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: and that means that you build those people to people relations.

55
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: So one of the things that Premier League said, yes

56
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: say at the luncheon that I agree with is that

57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 5: state to state relations begin with to people relations and

58
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: so being able to engage directly. We have differences with China,

59
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: we point them out in a constructive way and try

60
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 5: to work them through. We don't want to be defined

61
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: by our differences. We don't want to also pretend that

62
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: they're not there.

63
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: We don't have to back down.

64
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: No, we have different.

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 5: Political systems, but we've been able to achieve a stabilization

66
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 5: of the relationship without giving up any of our values.

67
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: Anyone coming to work in the city, yes, they would

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: have noticed. How long a premiure.

69
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Motivate is it was quite a big Do you have

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: a big one like that? When you go.

71
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: Overseas sometimes sometimes you get pretty large motiicads. I want

72
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 5: to put on a show, and so it depends where

73
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 5: you are, of course.

74
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: So it's not your doing, it's theirs.

75
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 5: When there's exactly the wa Police AFP were responsible for

76
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 5: ensuring that it occurs. But when major events happened that

77
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: are involved more than just one leader, then you have

78
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 5: whole cities affected by At the G twenty last year

79
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 5: in New Delhi, it was very unusual to be in

80
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 5: India and not see a lot of people, but there

81
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 5: weren't a lot of people there. And when events have

82
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 5: happened in Australia as well that have multiple leaders, then.

83
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: It does have an impact. But the benefit is that.

84
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 5: Perth has got enormous publicity globally, not just in China

85
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 5: but throughout the region. It's big news, the Chinese Premiere

86
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 5: coming here. That's a good thing for jobs and economic activity.

87
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 6: Because of that, there was a little blockage of traffic

88
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 6: in the city. Is that our boss didn't quite make

89
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 6: it in time for a meeting, So I think Premier League.

90
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: There are a lot of people. I noticed whenever it happens.

91
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 5: It's an interesting human instinct that's developed. People film motorcades

92
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 5: on their phones.

93
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't know where it goes.

94
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 5: Ever, since there's a Pruda film moticads. As we went

95
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: along the terrace there it was there are a lot

96
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 5: of people filming.

97
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: You go to concerts, people film.

98
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's better to film a motor cave than.

99
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: It's incredibly frustrating when people watch an entire gig on

100
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: their phone.

101
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: Stay home.

102
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 5: I saw Florence and the Machine a couple of years

103
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 5: ago at the Sydney Opera House fore Court.

104
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: There she I think what she did was say right,

105
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: I get out, take your shot, now.

106
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: Put you into nice.

107
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 5: That's a good idea. That was a good thing. I

108
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 5: think that's a really good precedent.

109
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 4: So enough about politics, and I want to hear more

110
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: about we're Florence, Yeah we're not. It's a good segue

111
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: because I want to hear more about Nick Cave playing

112
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: the piano at the lodge, talking about you taking Nick

113
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: Cave to the King's coronation, and then he's caught up

114
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: with you at the lodge when he's come to tour

115
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: with one of the guys from Radiohead you had him

116
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: over for breakfast.

117
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

118
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: Well, Colin Greenwood, the bass player, yes, from radio Head,

119
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: toured with Nick Cave a two person gig. It was

120
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 5: really interesting. I went along with my son and it

121
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 5: was it was terrific. It was quite interesting Nick. Nick

122
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: Cove's got an amazing album with just him, a double

123
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: album just him on piano, so you really get to

124
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 5: the essence of the songs. And he's a great songwriter

125
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 5: of course, but having Colin Greenwood there as well, double

126
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 5: the ads.

127
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Do you remember what he played it on the piano

128
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: when he.

129
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 5: No, no, he just got on and checked it out.

130
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 5: And I can't play the piano. Hazel Hawk used to

131
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: play really at the Lodge that piano, and so I

132
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 5: don't know who's played it since, but Nick Cave has

133
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: certainly played the piano at the lodge. It was a

134
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: moment as as a moment Nick went to the coronation,

135
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: the King's Coronation as a savings measure, amongst other other benefits.

136
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: What we did was we picked the Australian contingency who

137
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 5: were based in London.

138
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: Ker was the flag bearer and Adam Hills.

139
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: And Nick Cave and we had one of a nurse

140
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 5: who worked for the NHS during the pandemic, and so

141
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: we had a full collection of people.

142
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: That was was good.

143
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 6: Thought about being a savings measure, a very nice, nice touch. Now,

144
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 6: so the coronation breakfast at your place? Is there a

145
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 6: chance that one n Cave may roll up to the wedding?

146
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 6: Is he playing the women?

147
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: He lives in London?

148
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 6: That's but I know you found it yourself. But how

149
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 6: the wedding plans going?

150
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: Well, we're better be busy, you know.

151
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 5: I'm I'm here in Perth today, I will be in

152
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 5: Sydney tomorrow morning and then in Tasmania tomorrow afternoon and

153
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 5: then backing Canberra on the weekend.

154
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: It's time for a table scaping in between.

155
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: On the plane.

156
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: We will of course, of course we're locked in.

157
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, well done and it's quite a nice time

158
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 5: to be engaged.

159
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good.

160
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: Now.

161
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 4: As a rugby league man who has previously backed Papa

162
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 4: New Guinea's bid to be the next NRL club, how

163
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: do you feel about Perth trying to get a dog

164
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: in that fight again?

165
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

166
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: Look, I think the more the merrier. Good luck to Perth.

167
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: I've seen the bunnies play here Yeah.

168
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 3: In Perth.

169
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 5: I saw them play the Titans here at the I'm

170
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 5: not sure what the ground's called.

171
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 3: Or something stadium.

172
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 5: Perhaps they changed names. So look, I think there's a

173
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 5: big market crowd for rugby league.

174
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: Shout out to one of my mates here. He loves

175
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: at Frio Clayton.

176
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 5: I grew up with and played rugby league with junior footy.

177
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 5: He came over here and worked on the docks at

178
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: Fremantle and he's a huge Bunnies fan. And so there's

179
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 5: a lot of people who follow rugby league here. There's

180
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 5: a good lucky competition here as well, and so I

181
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 5: think there's a market for it. And I think the

182
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 5: idea is that Perth would team up with either the

183
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: Jets or the Bears in Sydney. I know that John

184
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 5: Singleton singer is very keen on the Perth Jets. I'm

185
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 5: aware of that Jets. We'll see how it goes. Yeah, well,

186
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: there's been a push ever since the Reds forward Western

187
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 5: Mark guy who's now on in Sydney.

188
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 4: Absolutely there you go, all right, well we must let

189
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: you get away. You've been playing to catch and we
