So in 26 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: New South Wales there were two locally acquired cases yesterday, 27 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 3: but Gladysbury Jiclian also announced that there were another two 28 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: that are going to be included in today's numbers. She 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: said that the current COVID restrictions are likely to be 30 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 3: extended past Thursday.

Hanlan's departure comes 36 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: amidst an investoration into allegations of workplace bullying, harassment, racism 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: and discrimination at the company. 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 3: I will just jump in here though to say that 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 3: there is no suggestion that Hanlan's departure actually relates to 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 3: the allegations being investigated that hasn't been confirmed. 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: Right, And Hanlan is not the first executive from Sony 42 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: Music to depart this year. The executive vice president of 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Commercial Music was removed from his role for alleged bullying 44 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: and harassment. 45 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: Today's good news is celebrating women in sport and this 46 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: is about Australian athlete Katrina Bissett, who has broken her 47 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: national eight hundred meters running record at a track and 48 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: field meet in Poland, taking point sixty nine off her 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 3: previous national record.

And I actually think 53 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: we are one day away from it being one month 54 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: till the Olympics. 55 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: So I want to take you guys back to yesterday morning. 56 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: I got a mesage from Zara saying, do you mind 57 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: if I'm an hour late into work today? I want 58 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: to go and visit my grandmother. As the compassionate and 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: delightful co founder I am, I said, of course, in 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: that hour, the world capitulated and Sam was left to 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: his own devices and. 62 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: Now we have a new Deputy Prime Minister. 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: She goes for one cup of tea and we have 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: a new Deputy PM. Zara talk us. 65 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: Through it, okay. 66 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 3: So yesterday on the pod we spoke about the fact 67 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: that there was a bit of coverage about a possible 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 3: leadership spill and don't want to toot our own horn 69 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: or anything, but we were correct in covering that and 70 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: it did happen. 71 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: Well, Barnaby called us and he said, guys, if you're 72 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: calling it, it's on. 73 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: So what we know now is that Matt Canavan moved 74 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: a spill motion and we talked about what a leadership 75 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: spill is yesterday. So if you want to tune into 76 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: yesterday's before listening to today's episode, that might be handy. 77 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: But we know that the party room voted on who 78 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: to make the next leader of the Nationals Party and 79 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: that Barnaby Joyce was successful in reaching a majority. So 80 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: what that means now is that Barnaby Joyce is the 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and Michael McCormack is no 82 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: longer the Leader of the Nationals or Deputy Prime Minister. 83 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 3: But you would be forgiven for being confused if you 84 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 3: watched Question Time yesterday, because we were there watching it 85 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: and Michael McCormack was answering all the questions as the 86 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: deputy Prime Minister because Barnaby Joyce had not yet been 87 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: sworn in. 88 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: It was a very awkward situation. 89 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: When's that swearing in meant to happen. 90 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: So it's meant to happen today. The Governor General wasn't 91 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: actually able to swear him in yesterday. 92 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: It was just a logistical thing. 93 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: And this is all happening while our Prime Minister, Scott 94 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: Morrison is in quarantine. 95 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: So we put up a post yesterday answering some of 96 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: the most common questions, and the detail that stuck out 97 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: to me was the fact that Michael McCormack took over 98 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: from Barnaby Joyce. Why did Joyce leave last time? 99 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: So Barnaby Joyce resigned almost three years ago, and it 100 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: came after he was accused of sexual harassment and that 101 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: was by a former WA Rural Woman of the Year. 102 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: Her name was Catherine Marriott and Joyce denies these allegations, 103 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 3: but he still resigned and it came out about the 104 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: same time that he was also having an extramarital affair 105 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: with a former staffer with whom he now has two children, 106 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: two little boys. So in the wake of all of this, 107 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: he resigned and he went to the backbench. But it's 108 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: been pretty clear to anyone paying any attention that Barnaby 109 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: Joyce has wanted the leadership since he first resigned back 110 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. 111 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions that need answering. I think 112 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: it's best if we concentrate on two key areas. Why 113 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: is the change of leadership important? Why should we care? 114 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: And what does this mean for climate policy in Australia. 115 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: I think that they're pretty inextricably linked those two questions. 116 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: So the first, why do we care? 117 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: The Deputy Prime Minister is the second highest office in Australia, 118 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: so anyone that cares about our political process should care 119 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: about who occupies that office. But of equal importance is 120 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 3: the effect that this will have on policies. So Michael 121 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: McCormack was criticized by some Nationals for not standing up 122 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 3: enough for the National's Party within the broader coalition, so 123 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 3: not standing up to Scott Morrison on what the Nationals 124 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: thought on climate policy, which is that the Liberals are 125 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: moving too far left on this issue, but also that 126 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: he wasn't cutting through on issues. So we're likely to 127 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: see a massive change in Barnaby Joyce. Barnaby Joyce loves 128 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: the media and he is an extremely strong performer and 129 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: he is quite performative at that. When we think about 130 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 3: what the immediate effect on policy will be, I think. 131 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: That there's two key areas. 132 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: So climate policy, as you said before, Barnaby Joyce once 133 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: said that he would cross the floor, which means he 134 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: would vote against the Coalition if they decided to introduce 135 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: net zero policy. So he is pretty clearly against it. 136 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: But here's what he had to say yesterday and then 137 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: let's talk about it. 138 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 5: I will be guided by my party room. This is 139 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 5: it's not Barnaby policy, it's Nationals policy, and National's policy 140 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 5: is what I will be an advocate for. And if 141 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 5: the Nationals party room believes that the best deal for 142 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: regional Australia is to make sure we secure their jobs, 143 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 5: is to make sure we secure their industries, is to 144 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 5: clearly understand, clearly understand the dynamics of an Australian economy 145 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 5: as to oppose to a Danish one. Or a German one. 146 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 5: If that's the view of the Nationals party room, that's 147 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 5: the view of the. 148 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: Support I think that just shows politics working as politics. 149 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: He can't come out now as the leader of the 150 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: party and just unilaterally decide the direction of that party. 151 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: He's going to have to consult with the leadership in 152 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: the Nationals and they're going to have to generate a 153 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: new policy decision. It can't just be Barnaby making policy. 154 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: So the second big issue that I think will certainly 155 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: dominate the news at least for the next couple of 156 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: weeks is about the family from Billa Wheeler, and that's 157 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: because last week Barnaby Joyce was pretty strong in his 158 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: support for the family staying in Australia. He said the 159 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: kids were born in Australia and then said maybe if 160 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: their names were Jane and Sally, we'd think twice about 161 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: sending them back to another country which they're not from. 162 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: He also said why not send them to Southern Sudan. 163 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: Why not send them to Rwanda or Belarus, they are 164 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 3: also countries they were never born in.
