1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: Well, what do you know, my mate from the living room,

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: Barry Dubois, is running for a Senate seat in the

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: next federal election. He launched Team bas yesterday to explain

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: what all this means. We thought we got to the

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: man himself, Barried Dubois, Hello his mouth.

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: Very kind of you, guys.

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on Why Barry.

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: Why Jonesy Because we've got this beautiful show the living Room.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: I get to get out to all the suburbs, get

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 3: to meet lots of different people. I've also got my

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 3: beautiful nine year old twins, and I can see that

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: there's a culture in the country that doesn't suit the

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: average person. I think I just want to change that up.

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of swings aroundabouts, but I

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: think there's a bit of an unbalanced and I think

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: a position in the Senate to advocate for the average person.

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: When you say no balance, Barry, what do you mean,

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: what's out of whack?

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: What's out of whack the center? Our constitution was designed

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 3: to lower and upper house in Parliament. We've over Skoma

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: l Albow and they're the lower House, and then they're

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 3: going to create the legislation, the laws that govern us

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: and really create our culture. Well, since the seventies we

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: changed the voting around, so now that the upper House,

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: the House of Review, is mostly populated by the two

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: major parties, so effectively, when you want to get a

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: legislation through, it's like having your best mate mark your

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: exam and if you pass, he gets a pay rights.

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: So there's no one really in there advocating for the

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: average person. It's big lobbyist companies. I mean the lobbyist industry.

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: The lobbying industry is one of the biggest industries in

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: this country now. So it's people making an extraordinary amount

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: of money swaying politicians in favor of big corporation.

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: So you've said that you're going to put all legislation

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: that comes through you as an independent in the Senate

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: through seven pillars.

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: What are they well, Sustainability, commerce, health, cohesion, education, very

39
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 3: importantly transparency. I believe that politicians genuinely weaponize secrecy. They

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: hold things from us. There's a legislation before the Senate

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: at the moment, which has had a grandfather clause since

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: ninety ninety five about protecting the richest people in the

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 3: country from letting us know how much tax they pay.

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: I mean, who legislated for that, Who thought that was

45
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: a good idea, Who was advocating for the country when

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: they put that legislation in place? No one, you know?

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 3: And I really think that politicians have lost touch was

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: what the average person's about. I really do. I mean

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: I said something yesterday.

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: You know.

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: I don't think many politicians of gas verra in hospital,

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: dug a trench, or even had the ars out of

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: their pants in one stage. But I've had all those

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: things happen to me. So it gives you a pretty

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: interesting perspective on life. And I think my perspective on

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: life is a lot closer to the average person than

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: most of the politicians.

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Man, if you've got a career politician, someone that's been

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: in it since I was seventeen years of age, they

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: don't really have any idea.

61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: As you say, the Senate is practically full of career politicians.

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: Quite frankly. I mean, I know you two are very

63
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: intelligent people, but you'd struggle to be able to name

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: what senator you voted for because you don't know who

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: these people are. They're they're put in position for the

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: ones that are in the New South Wales Senate. The

67
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: mayment weren't even elected by the people, though given the

68
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 3: position by the party. When the senator that was elected

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: by the party has taken a job as an ambassador

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: in America or board of a big company, it's secretism

71
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 3: and politics secretizes weaponizes the secrecy, and I just think

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: we need transparency and balance, and yeah, I review if

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: I get in, I'm going to review every legislation foot

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: before us under those seven pillars, and I'm going to

75
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: make sure that the average person knows what's going on

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: in there, because we just don't know. There is no

77
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: one at cating for the average person.

78
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: When it comes to the election. Is your name in

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: a little box and people all over Australia vote for you.

80
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: Well, that's what's happened. I mean, that's the way it

81
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: used to be. That's how the constitution was set up.

82
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 3: The Senate, you were meant to vote for seventy six

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 3: individual people. But we change the laws in the seventies

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: and now they said it was going to be easier

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: for us. So if you're above the line, you vote

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: for that party and they'll decide who's in the Senate

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: for you well, you know you're getting what you're paid for. There.

88
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: It's like you can be sitting at your dining room

89
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: table and have over each delivered the food to the table,

90
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: or you walk down to the front gate and get

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: a home you get a home cooked meal. If you

92
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: want a home cooked meal with real goodness in it,

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: you're going to have to vote for the people you

94
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: want in the Senate. Don't allow the parties to do

95
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: it in saying that, yes, I've had to form a

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: party because you had no chance unless you're above the line.

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: I need over seven hundred thousand people to vote for me.

98
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: I think sco On next thirty six thousand become the

99
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: prime minist this country. I need over seven hundred thousand

100
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: to vote for me to have a seat and advocate

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: for the average person in the Senate. I just don't

102
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: see how that system works.

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: Well, there it is, you're on the Hastings. That's happened,

104
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: and I like how you work under seven pillars. Amanda

105
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: works under four pillars, the Gin four pillars Gin. I

106
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: thought that's what this was about.

107
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 4: I spoke.

108
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: I do say that your campaign posters will look great

109
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: with that hair.

110
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: I'll put one of those up in the front yard.

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, good hair, says a good politician. Everybody says that.

112
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: And Barry, can I ask you this. You're not leaving

113

Speaker 2: the living room to do this, are you? This will

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: be an add on.

115
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: Most of these people work for their parties and they

116
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: have their bar you know that their career lot. You

117
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: know they work in other jobs as well. It'll mean

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: forty or fifty days in camber. It'll mean a lot

119
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 3: of review. I'll have a staff if I get there.

120
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,840
