27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: the Iron Lady. They called up.

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: They did, Yeah, you'll move the CBD out to.

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,360

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: Taste for blood. They move on.

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,920

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: Can he do that? Then?

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 4: Well, if you offer free coffee, it looks like right.

35
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: I guess you'd have to reside though. Does he live

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: in the city? Do you have to be like a local?

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: A local?

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what I know.

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: Sally Cap lived in Docklands because Christian made fun of

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: dock Lands and then she said I actually lived.

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: I think it's.

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: Actually think it's part the contract because no one would

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: do it by choice. All right, So you're going to

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: run for to be the mayor of Melbourne, mayor, pats

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: What would you run on your one policy one?

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: Well, you know it'd be a few things I reckon

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: not offer free Mannis and petties. Maybe on like a Friday,

48
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: so for the weekend your nails are looking ship shape

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: for all those cocktail parties. One thing that really grinds

50
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: my gears in the city is those damn bike lanes.

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 5: I would get rid of every single.

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, we're trying to

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: save the environment, what we don't need is destroy the

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: bike lanes.

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: I know it's great, and the libraries guess.

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 5: Just like bicycle gets you can't park. That's this is

57
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 5: why people aren't going into the city. You can't park in.

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: There every other show without bang on about those bloody cyclists.

59
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: And while I'm on the subject of parking, I would

60
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: like to off of valet free valet parking right out

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: in front of town Hall.

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 5: Maybe I don't know, every second day outside with.

63
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: The Mayor of Gotham City outside the front of town Hall.

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: Got that garden bed out in the front, Get rid

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 3: of those about thirty cars up there.

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 5: First, investress ticket system in out there.

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: You go, Wow, not just that.

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: I just told pats only came up with this idea

69
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: about three minutes ago. So Tay Patsy, you know late notice,

70
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: But we're going to do this feels got a hold, Yeah,

71
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: a bout of a gun.

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Thatcher jacket by what is it? Skateboards for all? I'll

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: go for the chain Monday.

74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: Rather than banning things, I'll go from the more couda

75
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: approach and what can the city provide to the people?

76
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: And it would be more sausage sizzles like they have

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: a Bunnings but every store has a sausage sizzle, and

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: they could pay for your streaming service because.

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: Children, honestly.

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,800

00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: I can afford that.

82
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: Then when you put them all together, it's actually very expensive.

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: You won't about the nanny steak and can pay for KAO.

91
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Kut who's running to be mayor of Melbourne, who said

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: free coffees every Monday morning for all the city workers.

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,960

Speaker 1: I'm in Melbourne.

96
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: I would say.

97
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,200

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: back there in case I actually do get elected. So

101
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: this morning on the show, imagine that you actually run

102
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: for office to be the mayor of Melbourne. You could

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: do what cooters are trading on. Come up with your

104
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: own idea of policy. Patsy's had a couple of ones.

105
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of ones. First of all, First,

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: drink free every Friday, whatever it is you're having where

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: it's a frothy or Jackie boy, a nice cloudy ol kombucha,

108
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: that's free.

109
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: That's on me.

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: That's on mayor Christian. Second one, jail time, that's right,

111
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: lock them up. Jail time for anyone who makes public

112
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: FaceTime calls.

113
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: All those horrible loudspeaker calls.

114
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: You know what you hear, every single one, they're holding

115
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: it out in front of them.

116
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: I hate that. Jail time for those people. Lock them up.

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: They're criminals, No, they're terrorists.

118
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: Third thing, I'm going to end people that dawdle in

119
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: front of me on just around the lar the streets right,

120
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: we'll have lanes dawdless and the rest of us who

121
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: going somewhere instant cash fine if you just stop for

122
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: no reason as well. And then the third, one fourth

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: one sorry, is to demolish burn all parking signs, replace

124
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 1: them with parking signs where they only say one clear fest.

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: You can have one yes, that's it.

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: One thing only on that sign, nothing else, Patsy. If

127
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: you've got any more policies you like to run on, well, you.

128
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 5: Know what they say.

129
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: We want to reinvigorate the city and we want to

130
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: bring people back.

131
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 5: To the city. Well how about we.

132
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: Go back to a few of the traditions you know

133
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: AFL Grand Final Parade. I know we're involving more fans

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: this year. Take the damn thing back to Swanston Street,

135
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: get them back in the cars, on the back of

136
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: the cars and do the cattle gate.

137
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: Actually that is a good idea, pats You're right.

138
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 5: Always like that.

139
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: And also we're not doing the Melbourne Cup Parade again

140
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: because of all the damn roadworks in there.

141
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 5: Stitch it up. Get the horses back in.

142
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: There, Stitch it up, threw it over. Get that tarmac out.

143
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 3: Always such a great carnival atmosphere and people Emily's, grandma's

144
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: and grandpas, everyone who'd go in sit there and cheer.

145
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 5: You know, it's just that whole beautiful spirit of the city.

146
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's like her own Hillary Trench, and

147
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: I love it.

148
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: I didn't realize where is the AFL Grand Final Parade now?

149
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: Well, they've changed it so it's sort of centered around

150
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: like the Sports Precinct, which I get, but it used

151
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: to always start at about town Hall and go up

152
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: to about If.

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: You've got some mates in town all five minutes ago,

154
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: you're wrapping up flower beds. Controversial to have free parking

155
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: everyone at town If anyone's got any policies, they'd like

156
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: to run and share them with us nine four one

157
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: four one o four

158
