1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Did you pick that song last?

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 2: That is an inconvenient inconvenience all.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Right here at ninety six FM.

4
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 3: We did not plan that song, of course with the

5
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 3: federal opposition leader four days from the election, Anthony, but

6
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 3: easy coming on leaders in miracle Anthony.

7
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Good morning.

8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 4: No, no, there was.

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: I did hear that, of course. Now we're Nellie there, We're.

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 4: Nellie there are yet.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 5: It's a bit like.

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: That, isn't it the kids in the back of the car.

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 5: Are we there yet? I think, frankly, the voters are

14
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 5: over it.

15
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 4: I think the idea of this long, long, long campaign

16
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: which has really been sixth formal weeks but seven to

17
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: seven weeks in reality.

18
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a slog it really is.

19
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: It is.

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 4: But it is great to be back here in the

21
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 4: great city of Perth.

22
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 5: All right.

23
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Well we are a state, are great state, often envied

24
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: for our mining revenue, but it is the backbone of

25
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: our economy. So if you're elected to government on Saturday,

26
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: what commitment to West Australians can you offer to secure

27
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: the prosperity of mining.

28
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 4: What we will do is make sure that we secure

29
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 4: existing industries, but we do something more than that as well.

30
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: WA has vast reserves of nickel, of lithium, the new

31
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: industries of the future. We should be making batteries here

32
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: and not just exporting our resources, but thinking about how

33
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 4: we value add how we make more things here, how

34
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: we create more jobs here, rather than export the raw

35
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: materials overseas, hoope for the value to be added and

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: then bring it back. That's the future for Australia that

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: I see, one where we stand on our own two feet,

38
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: one where we take advantage of the enormous resources that

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: we have.

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: We've seen our numbers spiraling a bit this week here

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: in the West. The fact that you're here in Wa, Ryan, Now,

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: I want to strategies do you think you'll implement to

43
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: deal with the next stage of the pandemic.

44
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: Look, one of the things we need to do is

45
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: to get back to educating people on a national scale

46
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: about the need to get their booster shops, the need

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 4: to continue to get vaccinated and look after themselves, but

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: also the people that come into contact with their family

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: and their community. And I think some of that has

50
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: dropped off from the federal government at the moment. What's

51
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: very clear is how important it was for WA to

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: maintain its borders, because that's meant when the infections have

53
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: arrived here people who have vaccinated. I myself got COVID

54
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 4: during this campaign. If you're fully vaccinated, the impact on

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: your health is far less.

56
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: When you got COVID during the campaign, did you think,

57
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: oh bug.

58
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: Really good?

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: The timing have been worse?

60
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: Well, well, that was one of the terms that I

61
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: may well have at the time. It may well have

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: been something a little bit more provocably stronger, because I

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: didn't I had no symptoms at all. A Thursday night,

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: i'd flown to from Brisbane down to Naura. I'd done

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: a big event there on the South cast of You said, well,

66
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: I was I I'm back to Sydney. In the afternoon,

67
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: I'd walked through a shopping center with our candidate in

68
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 4: top ride and then I was at home. I got

69
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: a PCR test and it came through pretty quickly on

70
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: the text message saying that I tested positive. So it

71
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: was like, oh, but then the good news was the timing,

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: Like it wasn't good to get it during a campaign,

73
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: but if I was going to get it, it really

74
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: was a sweet spot because I got the test because

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: I was coming to Wa on the Friday, but I

76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: was coming back the week after, of course for our

77
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: campaign launch, so it meant that I was out of

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: ice so could come back for the very successful campaign

79
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: launch that we had at your magnificent of the stadium there,

80
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: so it was all good. Mark McGowan got it on

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: the same day, of course, just showing how.

82
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: Close I've always been curious about campaign launches and why

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: you know, when when the campaign starts, isn't that that's

84
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: that's launched? I mean, why do they happen? The Liberals

85
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: just had their this weekend gone. Some people have already voted.

86
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 5: It's rather bizarre.

87
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: More than three million people had voted before the Liberals

88
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: bothered to have their campaign launch, but that's of course

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: they have.

90
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: Yours beginning either.

91
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 5: I mean it is as soon as it could be organized,

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 5: take a couple of weeks to organize. We had our

93
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 5: three weeks out from polling day and I think that

94
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: was the right thing to do. In it the first

95
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 5: campaign launch ever held in per since John Curtin.

96
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh there you go, hey, Anthony, can you be honest

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: with us? Mate?

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: Have you dared the dream? I know you might play humbly,

99
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: have you dared the dream? And thinking five days time

100
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: you could wake up as their fist thirty first prime

101
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: minister of our country.

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 4: Of course that's that's an option. But I also need

103
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: to be very careful to not get ahead of myself.

104
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: I think that in terms of my own mental wealth.

105
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 4: I think you can't get ahead of yourself with these things.

106
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 4: It's a matter for the Australian people now. About four

107
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: million people have voted already and I just don't want

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 4: to leave anything in the tank, nothing on the field.

109
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: We're out there campaigning here in w I've got the

110
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: leadership matters breakfast this morning. I'll have more events in

111
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: Perth before I head back east. But you know, we

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: put a very positive agenda forward for a better future.

113
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: I think our plans for cheaper childcause in a childcare

114
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: center yesterday with Kenya Lawrence there in Kalamunda. I was

115
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: out handing out of votes with Tracy Roberts in Pierce

116
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: and will continue to continue to campaign each and every day.

117
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: Official we have the time, you know, we're used to

118
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: this sort of thing. You have sixty seconds to pitch

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: to the people of w Way why we should vote

120
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: for you.

121
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Are you ready to go today?

122
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: Ready we go?

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: There we go, we go.

124
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 4: Labor has a plan for a better future. We have

125
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: a plan for cheaper child care, cheaper energy prices, to

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: make more things here were have a plan for more

127
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: secure work. We believe that the cost of everything is

128
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: going up, except people's wages aren't, which is why people

129
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 4: should vote Labor sometime between now and this Saturday. And

130
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 4: actually we can do better in this country. But to

131
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: do so, we need a better government.

132
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: All right, there we go. That's thirty seconds.

133
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: Thirty seconds second, here you go is thirty second pitch

134
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 2: to rab It.

135
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: That's all I need to convince Bobo we don't do

136
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 4: three more years of the same.

137
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: It's sweet, an easy, good to catch up and all

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: the very best as we hear for the big day

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: and Saturday.

140
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: Thanks very much. I hope to talk to you at

141
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: the other end on the other side.

142
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 2: It is on the other side.

143
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, thank you, bye bye.

144
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: The Labor leader, Federal Labor leader there, opposition leader, and

145
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: we wish every one the best on of course, for

146
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: the campaign on the Saturday, the election day, and those

147
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: who were voting early.

148
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: A lot of people have already as we've mentioned
