1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Here at Two Good Sports, we would like to acknowledge

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of the land on which we record

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 1: this podcast.

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: The were innerie people.

5
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 3: This land was never seated, always was, always will be.

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Greetings and grand salutations. You have caught Jelmy and I

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: practicing our curtsies, dear listener, because on this week's episode

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: of Two Good Sports, things are.

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: Going a little bit differently.

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm Georgie Tanny, and I'm happy.

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 4: To tell me and Georgie, you know, usually we do

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 4: good sport bad sport. Now we ask each other about

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 4: our weeks. You tell me about the celebrity you've interviewed.

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister is coming in to talk to us.

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Anthony Albanezi is coming into the studio. He is a

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: fan of this podcast, a huge good sport.

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: He is a good sport and also the leader of

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 3: the nation.

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 4: So we have so many questions and this has been

20
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: born from the most Two Good Sports way that we

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: could possibly ever secure an interview with.

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: I don't know the Prime Minister.

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister.

24
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: Yes, I slid into his DM but and it wasn't unsolicited.

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: Albow followed me. Okay, I wasn't even following albo at

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: the time, and I will apologize.

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: For that, but it was.

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: It was a lead up to an election, a very

29
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 4: pointy election that you'll all remember that was as one

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 4: sided as a Grand Final between Richmond and GWS.

31
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: But it's a.

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Tailor as old as time.

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 3: It was about a month before the election.

34
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 4: He was in full campaign mode and I've looked at

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 4: my Insta feed and it said one follow Albow PM,

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: blue tick, blue tick because this wasn't and I've just

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 4: I'd be like, what fan account is this?

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: And then Jelmy's like, I think it's the actual Prime Minister.

39
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: I screenshot it and of course sent it to our

40
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: Two Good Sports.

41
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 4: What's happened? When thoughts anyone thoughts do we do? We think, yes,

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: that we could get him on the pod. So I

43
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: went with hey, elbow, smiley fast.

44
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: That's the bit.

45
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: That's the bit that made it so legit, so legit.

46
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: Thanks for the follow, love that you're keeping up with

47
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: all things sports. I want to float something past you

48
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: that I think you'd be perfect for. I co host

49
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 4: a podcast called Two Good Sports with Georgia Tunney. It's

50
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: all about shaking up trucial sports media, La la la,

51
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: but essentially that's the pitch, and it ends up with

52
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 4: hope we speak soon, another smiley face.

53
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: You got it because I'm a woman and that's how

54
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: I write an email.

55
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: Any ellipses in there. You got to you gotta take

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: big swings, Joel.

57
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: We've got to take big swings, and this was arguably

58
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: the biggest swing.

59
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: On two good sports that we've ever taken.

60
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: Our Prime Minister replies with, let's get this done. The

61
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: emoji with sunglasses, good bye emoji, and I throw my

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: phone across the room and at this point I'm going

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: suitable response this this could actually I just had a

64
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: fe this is gonna happen.

65
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is actually gonna happen.

66
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: Lo and behold.

67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: He then becomes a very very busy man, and there's

68
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: also a media blackout when he's in Melbourne because the

69
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 4: dear Pope passes away and it just wouldn't have been

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 4: in good taste for him to be doing a sports

71
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: podcast in that time.

72
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, he might look back on that and be like, oh,

73
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I wish I could have been here sooner.

74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: The election comes and goes Georgie and we think, dah,

75
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: it was all a ploy.

76
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: One of the votes of the two of us see

77
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: the two. That's the way that he's clearly, clearly going

78
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 3: about this.

79
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: It's a small play from him, but I see, I

80
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: see where he's going.

81
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: He has followed up and he's coming in.

82
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: He's coming in, He's coming in.

83
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: How are your nerves? I'm genuinely I'm a bit nervous.

84
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm very excited because one thing that we all know

85
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: about Albo. Yes he's the PM, but he is also

86
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: the number one ticket holder for the South Sydney Rabbit

87
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: o's he's.

88
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: One of mine.

89
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: He is a league he says rugby league, not rugby league.

90
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 4: I think that I'm going to be able to claim

91
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: him as AFL.

92
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: We can't be fighting in front of the Prime minister.

93
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: Do you think he could settle the debate?

94
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: Oh?

95
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: Good? But again yes, yes.

96
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: Our good sport is the Prime Minister who's up there.

97
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: What they say, politics and sport should not mix. But

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: as you're very well aware, dear listeners, we do things

99
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: pretty differently on this podcast.

100
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: As such, we argue that two are inextricable.

101
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: The politics of sport can be more convoluted than explaining

102
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: soccer's off side rule to your friend who doesn't really

103
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: follow the game, but does remember Jonathan Reese Meyer's eyelashes

104
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: in bend it. Like Beckham, the sport of politics can

105
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: be more cutthroat than Queensland coach Billy slader Zax falling

106
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: on Moron's captain daily Cherry Evans this week, But someone

107
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: who knows all too well the wildness of both is

108
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: our guest today. His passion for the nation is second

109
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: only to his passion for the South Sydney Rabbitos, which

110
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: is apt because you could say if the club had

111
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: to be a politician, it would look a lot like

112
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Alban Just like the Rabbits. Albow came from humble beginnings,

113
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: raised by a single mum and Housing Commission. The same

114
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: working class heart that beats in South Sydney beats in

115
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: him too. Albow didn't grow up with privilege, but he

116
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: made it to Parliament House in the mid nineties, wearing

117
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: his beliefs on his sleeve like a red and green jersey.

118
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: Perhaps not as flashy as English, but certainly as fierce

119
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: as Latrelle Mitchell, specifically in round ten this year against

120
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos, which was impressive, but I took it as

121
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: a rude personal attack from Redfern to the lodge, to

122
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: our studio. Would you please welcome the Prime Minister of Australia,

123
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: Anthony Albernezi to do good sports.

124
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 5: What an introduction.

125
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: Just stop then, it's been great to have you, thank you,

126
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: thank you so much and that's all we have time

127
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: for today.

128
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: No, in all seriousness, PM, thank you so much for

129
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: joining us.

130
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: Absolute pleasures.

131
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: It's wonderful to have you here.

132
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: We can look at your background in your history and

133
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: understand where South Sydney came from.

134
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: Why the Hawks, Yeah.

135
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 5: Because there's a relationship between the two things really right.

136
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: So as a kid growing up, I used to play

137
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 5: football in the South Sydney comp and then the Eastern

138
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 5: Suburbs Comp and I'd go to my uncle's who lived

139
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 5: in Melbourne for a while in the afternoon and watch

140
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: the I think every game began at ten past one,

141
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 5: the match of the day of the VFL, and you

142
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: couldn't go for the Pies because there was Western Suburbs Magpies,

143
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 5: Richmond Tigers here in Richmond, Balmont Tiger's, Saint Kilda Saints

144
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 5: Saint George the Animal Alignment game now were the only

145
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 5: team that had no connection. Because I'm after all, who

146
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: would pick brown and gold was the Hawks and this

147
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 5: was as well showing my age here. The seventies was

148
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 5: an amazing era. So if you're a kid pro the

149
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: Swan's coming to Sydney, South Melbourne moving up and I

150
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 5: loved watching AFL. I played rugby League, but I love

151
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 5: watching AFL. My son played AFL for the Newtown Swans.

152
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 5: I made my AFL debut in the Community Cup reclink

153
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: that takes place here at vic Park handsOn. My advice

154
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: to listeners is, if you're going to make your AFL debut,

155
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 5: make it before the age of fifty, not after. You

156
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: can see here an extra little joint on my little

157
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: finger from a broken that happened. That happened Hanson Park

158
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: last minute.

159
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: With his body on the line.

160
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: We're leading, but I had one KPI which was not

161
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: to get injured, and of course me being who I am,

162
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 5: bit competitive. Funnily enough, he's got a mouse kind of

163
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 5: how you get to be PM, you know, is we

164
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: were up by you know, three or four points, less

165
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 5: than a goal a minute to go and it's flooded

166
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: as well. It's a bit loose in Sydney, so it's

167
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: twenty a side, but for the last little bit there's

168
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 5: forty a side on the field like people just runs

169
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 5: in and so I stupidly through my body on the

170
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 5: line and make a tackle, my one tackle and came

171
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 5: out of it with a finger going horizontal rather than

172
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 5: a vertical.

173
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: From the GI pop it back in yourself, and I

174
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: popped it back in.

175
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: I popped it back in. We won, went to the

176
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 5: part as you do, and then went to Bowmon Hospitals.

177
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: A classic sale PM of anyone who goes to do

178
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: social sports in their adult life and then they come

179
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,119
Speaker 1: out with Achilles.

180
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: Absolutely, we do talk about social sport and having you

181
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: leading into the Hawks game this weekend, because you're at

182
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: the game on the weekend. You went in the huddle,

183
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: you predicted almost to the yes, the margin that the

184
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: Hawks were going to win by, and so we just

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: believe you're an oracle in this.

186
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: Have you got any other predictions? And also we want

187
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: to know.

188
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: Sam Mitchell is very keen on me turning up at

189
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 5: every game.

190
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: Good luck.

191
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 5: Every time I have turned up, they've won, whether it

192
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: was at the g or at Marvel or indeed Aurora.

193
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: Are there what's it called now, dann at Lonnie.

194
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, for a bit wherever it was at Lonnie, But

195
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: do you like the character in the game. So for instance,

196
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: in that game, Jack even got a little bit of

197
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: stick for the fact he showed him the.

198
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: Ball, so you love it, of course, and the fans

199
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 5: love it. I got a bit of you know, whether

200
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 5: it's that or or just to upset one half of

201
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 5: the team here when Latrell from halfway and casually while

202
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 5: the ball was still rising, turned around and casually just

203
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 5: walked back like you know, I had to for the

204
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 5: halfway line.

205
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: Didn't even celebrate. It was the celebration.

206
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 5: Gi Arrow jumped on him.

207
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: I know.

208
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 5: It was awesome. And after after the game in the

209
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 5: in the sheds, I know Latrell pretty well and he

210
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 5: was congratulating me on the election. It was the week

211
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: after the election. You know, we won by a bit more.

212
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 5: We didn't need a field goal, I pointed out to

213
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 5: him at the time. But I mean, he's just so cool.

214
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: He's also the size of a mountain.

215
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think maybe one of the biggest people I've

216
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: seen in real.

217
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: Life is very big. When him and Tommy Treborovich were

218
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 5: the centers for New South Wales like these, yeah, they're giants,

219
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 5: so is so is Greg English as well, who I

220
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: think who I love dearly and is a great human being.

221
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 5: And he's doing fantastic things on mental health. Yeah, and

222
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 5: he goes around and particularly in regional areas of New

223
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 5: South Wales and Quinston speaks about his mental health battles

224
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: and through the Goanna Foundation, he's doing enormously good things

225
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 5: in the community.

226
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Just made me remember remember his try celebration go on.

227
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: I know that to declar here, I grew up in Perth,

228
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: so I'm not an NRL girlie. I essentially get all

229
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: my tutoring from Georgia before I'm about to go and

230
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: have to talk about it. But if we were to

231
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 4: put to you that you could only watch one code

232
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: for the rest of your life, is it legal?

233
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 2: There's a correct answer, Albert.

234
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 5: I was born Arabia league.

235
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: Bam, I just say you'd be a hockball man.

236
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: No, no, you can be both.

237
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: But if they're only going to watch one for the

238
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: rest of your life, it's rugby league.

239
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: But a FL to watch live particularly is so good.

240
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: The first Grand Final I went to was eighty nine

241
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 5: Hawk's Feed You Long. I was right up literally up

242
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 5: the back of a stand that doesn't exist anymore, and

243
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 5: there's a block of Hawks supporters and a block of

244
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 5: Geelong supporters throwing things at each other across.

245
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 3: The much has changed, by the way, that's still the.

246
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 5: Corridor, you know, kick nine in a losing side. It

247
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 5: was amazing. It was actually easy to get Grand Final

248
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 5: tickets in Sydney in those days, and it was in

249
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 5: Melbourne because the way the allocations happened, and there weren't

250
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 5: as many fans.

251
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: Living in Sydney.

252
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: Finally, come on, you're going to talk sport al, but

253
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: you've got to be.

254
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: About it.

255
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: On just to hark back to the personality business for

256
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: a second, because oh, yes, I agree with you. We

257
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: love personalities in sport. Do you feel the same way

258
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: about personalities in politics?

259
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: No? Not necessarily. You know, do we really need bunter

260
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 5: rejoiced to stop in parliament?

261
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: But really do you like him to a bit of

262
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: a jack in a bit of a not necessary?

263
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: No?

264
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 5: Anything that I said now would insult two people. So

265
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 5: I'll raise the bat and let the ball hit the keepers.

266
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,239
Speaker 4: We love a put Well, here's another one that unfortunately

267
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 4: we're not going to let you.

268
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 5: I do I break the record, by the way, for

269
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: most number of sporting puns. On third of third of May,

270
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 5: you're at the MCG, on the ground of the MCG,

271
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 5: and you know we're kicking with the wind. With time

272
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 5: on in the fourth quarter, they were kicking out on

273
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 5: the fall.

274
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 4: No wonder he wanted to come on to We were

275
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 4: chosen to be at the MCD.

276
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 5: We were taking marks. You know, we're kicking goals. We

277
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: needed to keep the momentum.

278
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: We've got the bounce.

279
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 5: I was such good fun.

280
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: I did say in our intro to this elbow that

281
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: it was the most one sided finished since the twenty

282
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: nineteen Grand did a d We.

283
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: Didn't need to get to the last quarter.

284
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 5: That was a bit sad. It was sad, but there've

285
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 5: been a few blowouts.

286
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: I've got to say, we just want to have a contest.

287
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: Let's be honest.

288
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: But while while we are talking about AFL again, the

289
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: politics and sport they always mix, and if we are

290
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: going to talk about the stadium in Tazzi, that seems

291
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: to be this real lynchpin that's been a topic of

292
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: much discussion, the fact that Tasmani are going to yet

293
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: another state election.

294
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: We get another to the polls. Again, where do you

295
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: stand on this?

296
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 4: In the AFL demanding that there needs to be a

297
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: stadium in order to allow that nineteenth license, do you

298
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: think that's fair and where do you stand?

299
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 5: We support a stadium not just because of of what

300
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 5: it will do for AFL, but for what it will

301
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: do in Hobart. In twenty and twelve, as the infrastruction Missleigo,

302
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: the government got fifty million dollars to the Tasmanian government

303
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: to do planning for the mcquari Point site. Now, if

304
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: you look at all the waterfronts around Australia, industry was

305
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 5: always located around water because you chucked all the rubbish

306
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 5: in the river or the waterway or the harbor. The

307
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 5: Macquarie Point site is unbelievable. The Derwin is a magnificent river,

308
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 5: with due respect to the Yarra.

309
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: You know, Oh, don't you worry, Albot. I've had some

310
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: choice words.

311
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 5: Dear respect. The Derwint is magnificent. Hobart's a great city.

312
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 5: It stops and then there's basically what's a rubbish dump

313
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 5: that has been there for decades. Now you need to

314
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 5: have a proper urban development project at Macquarie Point, you know,

315
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: the driver of urban development projects, so as part of

316
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 5: a precinct, sporting, hospitality, residential, the full bit. It will

317
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 5: bring the CBD down to the river and open up

318
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 5: the city of Hobart. So it's got to be viewed

319
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 5: from that perspective, not from the narrow one that it's

320
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 5: just somewhere where footy will be played for home games

321
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: for the Devils.

322
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: And is that how we go about justifying the cost.

323
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, that's how you get some of the costs

324
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 5: back through private sector development housing. It could be amazing

325
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: if it's got right. Yes, and yes, the state government

326
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 5: down there for a long period time dilly dallied around.

327
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 5: I went down there about a year ago. Now it

328
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 5: is exactly the same as it was in twenty twelve,

329
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 5: thirteen years later. You literally had to watch where you're

330
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 5: walking because this just not even not even a dirt

331
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 5: road properly and it's an unbelievable pristine site. And just

332
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 5: like Mona for Tasmania was opposed and transformed, it did

333
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 5: that city. People go there and they go there not

334
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 5: just for a day, they go there for a period

335
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 5: of time as well. We when I was Infrastructure Minister

336
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 5: last time, we funded utahz Or Aurora Stadium. It was

337
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 5: them which is for to that at Lonnie so that

338
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 5: the AFL games could be played there. So it's being

339
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 5: upgraded as well. There's one hundred and thirty million dollars

340
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: for that. We're putting in half the funds to upgrade

341
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: that so that games can be played in the North

342
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 5: as well as the South. But you know, they need

343
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: to just get on with it. And I think that

344
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 5: truly know a state that's produced you know, to Hudson

345
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 5: just to name one, but so many fantastic.

346
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: The rewolves in the Hall of Fame.

347
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, Richardson, and people want Tasmanians also want their

348
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 5: kids to stay in Tasmania. So you've got to build

349
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 5: the economy. You've got to and academies change things, and

350
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: it's a it's a great way to do it. So yeah,

351
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: it tastes two. I think it's up to two hundred

352
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 5: thousand members or something we did.

353
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 3: Driving around. It's a real thing.

354
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 4: The fact that they almost have the most members in

355
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 4: the league and they don't even have somewhere that they

356
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 4: just bizarre. But it just goes to show the love

357
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 4: of it all, which is I think why as external.

358
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: Obviously we're not in Tasmania, but you look in and

359
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 4: see how divisive something has been that we can all

360
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 4: look at and say a stadium should be something that's

361
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: celebrated in the is something that should be celebrated. But

362
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 4: you have someone like Eddie Maguire out in the last

363
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 4: forty eight hours saying that if he was appointed chair

364
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 4: of the AFL, which we know that he hasn't been,

365
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 4: the first thing that he would do, and this is

366
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 4: a direct quote, is get the Prime Minister in a

367
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 4: headlock and violence against Albo Australia says no, yeah, absolutely,

368
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: but he's essentially saying that for the Tasmanian government to

369
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: fund this stadium is unfeasible because of the funds that

370
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 4: they don't have available to them. That so much funding

371
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: will go to Brisbane because they have an Olympics and

372
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: they need to be building this amazing stadium, that the

373
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: federal government needs.

374
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: To dip into their pockets for this stadium.

375
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 5: What say you to that we have dipped in our

376
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: share and it's capped. But the Tasmanian government, going back

377
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 5: to mac Point, we go money. Yeah twenty twelve, nothing

378
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 5: happened with it. The Tasmanian government are in the position

379
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 5: to manage the project, to do uplift, to do private

380
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 5: partnerships with housing, use that money to help fund the

381
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 5: state him all of that. And so we've made a

382
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: contribution to urban redevelopment there. But we're not an ATM,

383
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: you know, and because if we act like that, what

384
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: you'll get is no proper management of the project. And

385
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: we're not going to ongoing run the Tazzy Devil's football

386
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 5: team or run state planning and all of those issues,

387
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 5: which is why our contribution is substantial. At the time

388
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 5: we made that contribution, it was opposed by the federal

389
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 5: Liberals and state labor in Tasmania, so it was a

390
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: big call by us. I did that cooperatively with Premier

391
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 5: Rockcliffe because I supported the urban redevelopment at macpoint and

392
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 5: we looked at the case that's there. They just need

393
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 5: to get on with it and get it done.

394
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: What happens, whatever the outcome of this election may be,

395
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: whether it be rock Withefe or not. And if there's

396
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: a phone call to you and it says Albow we

397
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: need more help.

398
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 5: Our funding is capped, you know you've got to You've

399
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 5: got to draw the line and bring some responsibility in

400
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: unless you do that. Same as our funding for the

401
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 5: Olympics in Brisbane, which has changed about four times, what

402
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 5: they are doing, what we are building, is us saying

403
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: this is our money is on the table. We have

404
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 5: money for nineteen separate precincts as well as we have

405
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 5: money for the arena project. If that isn't going ahead,

406
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 5: which appears that it's not from the new plans, our

407
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 5: money is still capped for what is happening, and you've

408
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 5: got to leave a legacy. Part of the idea of

409
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 5: the stadium in Tazzi is that it will allow major acts,

410
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 5: yes who come here, to be able to play in

411
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 5: a stadium. If you had a stadium that had twenty

412
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 5: three thousand seats in Hobart, ax would go there. It

413
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 5: would transform the economics of the way that Hobart functions.

414
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: Tasmania has so much to offer. It's beautiful, stunning state,

415
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 5: every bit of it, but it needs economic activity and

416
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 5: one way you bring economic activity, as Melbourne knows yes,

417
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 5: is by having events.

418
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 4: The viability of large scale events is something that we've

419
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: discussed at length in this podcast and a bugbear of

420
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 4: mine was the comm games.

421
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: That happened, you know, and just this one. She's very mad.

422
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 4: I love my track and field, I love the comm games.

423
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 4: I love how I feel when I watch Australians win

424
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: on the big stage. But we're just not talking about

425
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 4: Australia here. We're talking about the Football World Cup having

426
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 4: to be hosted her over six different cities because it's

427
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 4: just not viable for cities to build the infrastructure with

428
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 4: the cost of living pressures and what taxpayers actually want.

429
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: Are we genuinely in danger of potentially down the track

430
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: something like the Olympics needing to scale back in order

431
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 4: for cities and countries and governments to see it be viable.

432
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: I don't think so, because they are such important events,

433
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 5: but you do have to have a bit of common

434
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: sense approach to it as well. There's a bit of

435
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 5: a debate going on at the moment over the Olympics.

436
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 5: We'll wait and see where that goes. I've been meeting

437
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 5: with Andrew Liveris as well as with the Queensland Premier

438
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 5: Christal Fully about where it goes. For example, you know,

439
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 5: are we really going to do rowing in Rockhampton on

440
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 5: the Fitztroy River when there are some pretty good facilities

441
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 5: at Penis Yeah, yeah.

442
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Fox girls they yeah, yeah, they're not bad.

443
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: At one point they were beating eleven other countries at

444
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 4: the Games, just their family. So I think if we

445
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: can give them home rapid advantage.

446
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 5: And yeah, there's a debate over tennis and what's needed

447
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 5: there in Brisbane as well. Pretty good tennis facilities here,

448
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 5: I'll get just you know, those things need to be

449
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: worked through. And it might be that, you know, the

450
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 5: tennis stadium is built in Brisbane, fantastic. You know, we're

451
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 5: putting some money into the Domain Tennis Center in Hobart

452
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 5: so that they can continue to host one of the

453
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: lead ins to the Australian Open in January, and so

454
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 5: one of the women's tournaments has always been held there.

455
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 5: So I think it's legitimate for there to be proper discussion.

456
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 5: But it might be that you just can't do everything

457
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 5: in one spot in the future.

458
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: When it comes to your investment, because you genuinely love sporting,

459
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: so it is something that is at the forefront of

460
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: a lot of your policies.

461
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: You've invested.

462
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: The Albanize governments invested in a lot of women's sport

463
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: and women's initiative, which we thank you for that. Why

464
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: do you have such an affinity with sport? Where did

465
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: the sporting love story begin?

466
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 5: Just because of who I am? I guess, as you

467
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 5: said in your intro, there's just me and mum at home.

468
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 5: I guess one way, if you haven't got a father figure,

469
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 5: a father around, or brothers or sisters, one of the

470
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 5: ways that you engage in social activity is team sport.

471
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 5: So I've always loved watching sport. I love playing sport.

472
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 5: I still play in the I played for marrackvill in

473
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 5: the Sydney Badge Tennis comp and played a couple of

474
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 5: weeks ago.

475
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: What have we learned from social sport? Elbow election?

476
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: Twice since the election we've had two wins Marrickfood. It's

477
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 5: a low division, but it's great fun and it's a

478
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 5: way that you engage as well. And for me, for example,

479
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 5: you know, I live in a fairly strange world with pressure.

480
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 5: If you're on a tennis court, the Badge coomp is

481
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 5: four sets doubles three hours. You don't have your phone on,

482
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 5: you're not looking at it. You simple game, hit the

483
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 5: ball over the net between the lights and don't let

484
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 5: bout swice just to be clear out their kids and

485
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 5: for that time I find I feel healthier and for

486
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 5: kids growing up as well. We want kids to get

487
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 5: off their devices onto the netball courts, the tennis courts,

488
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 5: the footy ovals, swimming pools, whatever, doesn't matter. Team sports

489
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: are particularly good, I think because they teach kids how

490
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 5: to win, how to lose.

491
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: Yes, no participatient medals for everyone. Sometimes in life.

492
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 5: You go, I agree. I think it's completely When my

493
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 5: son played junior a f L, you know, and they

494
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 5: wouldn't keep score. What nonsense.

495
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 6: The kid knows because they're going to get out into

496
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 6: the real world for a job and not get it

497
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 6: and be like, but we didn't keep scoring, where's my

498
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 6: gold for trying exactly to lose?

499
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 5: And you've got to learn how to lose exactly.

500
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: On that though, are you now? I say this with

501
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: love because I describe myself as this. Are you a

502
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: feral fan in that when you're watching your team that

503
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: you love, do you.

504
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: Get vocal or you passionate?

505
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Are you screaming at the television saying we need to

506
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: win Georgia?

507
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: Do this? George is a dirty Queensland. If that hasn't

508
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 3: been any clearer.

509
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: Of a shocker, I I go, yeah, I have to

510
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 5: be a little bit careful these days because there are

511
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 5: sometimes cameras on you. Yeah, so when South are plying

512
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 5: like I went nuts when kicked the field goal, and yeah,

513
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 5: I do all of that, I yell and you know,

514
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 5: I thought it was terrific when Ginnovan did the ball.

515
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, because well, you talk about getting

516
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 4: kids off their devices. You can't tell me that kids

517
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: aren't doing those little gestures in the backyard pretending to

518
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 4: be Jack.

519
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 5: Dar And it's just fun.

520
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: I mean, we're not a fan of the flipping the

521
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: bird thing.

522
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: That there's limits the players feeling like they need to

523
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 4: do that to the crowd, but like, come on, grow

524
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: up a little bit. But I think if it's good,

525
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 4: harmless fun and character, that's what we want.

526
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 5: You spoke about the goanna after the try. It was

527
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen, eleven years ago. You remember it.

528
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: Albo having another existential crisis all theirn.

529
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 5: We weren't playing Brisbane either, but you remember it because

530
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 5: it was one of those moments. Yeah, took the square

531
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 5: to thirty to six, oh wow.

532
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: Oh wow, when they didn't that much of enough, ye

533
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 4: I'm outnumbered about numbered absolutely.

534
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 5: I can tell you you know all of I got

535
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 5: tested in one of that. I was in Brisbane doing

536
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 5: an FM radio and they're like, oh, well Souse, you

537
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: know bye, you're a real sort of fan, you know what.

538
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 5: And I was like, eh, was it the seventy one

539
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 5: Grand Final? My my mum took me on the hill

540
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 5: and they're like, oh, who was in the team? Then

541
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 5: I named it one to thirteen amazing? That was That

542
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 5: was it. I'm a nerd for those.

543
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 4: A female equivalent of you've got a band shirt and

544
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 4: they say tell me one of your songs. You're the

545
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 4: prime minister and you wear the scarf and it's like,

546
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 4: oh yeah, we'll tell me who plays.

547
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I will sit down here.

548
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 5: I got sledged for oh, well have you just adopted

549
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 5: the Hawks? Because I did the song. Sam Mitchell made

550
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 5: me do the song. Also we love Sam Mitchell in

551
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 5: Loney and And so I said to someone who I

552
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 5: got asked about it because I got sledged by someone

553
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 5: on I won't name them. I will hold it against him,

554
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 5: but I won't hold judges. I do absolutely well, that's

555
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 5: what what sport? If not, that's holding the occasional grudge.

556
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan Thurston I will forever love and hate for what

557
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: he did to me in twenty fifteen.

558
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, we don't go.

559
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 5: How good was that? Sorry? It's a field goal thing.

560
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: Really is?

561
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 4: It really is our boat one day and so I went,

562
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 4: it's a VFL scarf carry out.

563
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 5: It's so old. I've got a few of them, but

564
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 5: the old one I try to wear to games because

565
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 5: people it brings that nostalgia back.

566
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: And it's the we love sport because of the joy

567
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: and also for the fact that more often than not

568
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 4: it's not hurting anyone. So much of life can be

569
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: and especially news and politics. Things can be difficult, and

570
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 4: there's winners and losers, and of course there's winners and

571
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: losers in sport, but as a whole especial we saw

572
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 4: with Neil Danaher over the weekend. Yes, you canslutely someone

573
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 4: who just galvanizes everyone and brings them together.

574
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, yeah, no an incredible choice is Australian of

575
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 5: the Year and just fantastic what he has done taking

576
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 5: what's you know, personally such a tough situation and turning

577
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 5: into helping others. I mean, he's a remarkable Australian but

578
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 5: does bring people together. And it does. When South got

579
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 5: kicked out of the comp they were moving motions in

580
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 5: Parliament and all that, and it was about people were like,

581
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: oh well, you can just follow another team, and I

582
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 5: was like, you don't get it.

583
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: You don't understand.

584
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 5: It's about your identity. It's about that sense of belonging

585
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 5: to something. And for so many of South supporters it's

586
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 5: all they had in their life. People were telling me,

587
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 5: you know, people coming up we had at that stage

588
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 5: on the board. We used to have these long meetings,

589
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 5: We had one employee. We were all putting in our

590
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 5: own money to keep the show going, the campaign while

591
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 5: the court cases were on and all of that. And

592
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: you know, for some of them, they just didn't understand.

593
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 5: It wasn't like oh, well, you know, you just get

594
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 5: a different brand of chip or something. You know, it

595
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 5: was for them. And I know a whole lot of

596
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 5: people who still haven't forgiven the perpetrators of that crime

597
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 5: for kicking us out of the comp and the fact

598
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 5: that the Bears people supporting North Sydney. I mean they

599
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 5: haven't had a win since nineteen twenty two, twenty one

600
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 5: and twenty two were their last successes, but they've held

601
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 5: on through generations. People say to me, you know if

602
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 5: they have usked I as your son supports a Sydney

603
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 5: and I say, yeah, he had choices, but he chose

604
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 5: to sleep inside, you know, very clear options.

605
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying is exactly how Georgie feels about

606
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 6: it all because Robert.

607
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: Is a Storm fan. Absolutely not children.

608
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 5: Mixed marriage, genuinely. I met Jodie through through being in

609
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 5: Melbourne at an event and I got introduced by someone

610
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 5: who was a Canterbury Bulldog supporter and they said a

611
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 5: good person. I was a guest speaker at this dinner

612
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 5: and they said, only one thing wrong with him. He's

613
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 5: a South Sydney supporter. And so I stood up and

614
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 5: I said, you know there's always even in Melbourne, there'll

615
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 5: be a random one, always one, And Jody yelled out

616
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 5: up the rabbits, that's how woman.

617
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: Literally, and you thought she is there, she is.

618
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 5: I went around, my only one around, went around the

619
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 5: tables and met her there and then ran into her.

620
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 5: Didn't know she was a Sydney cider fully then and

621
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 5: went around and then she was another event. She was

622
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 5: waiting for a super company at the time. A few

623
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 5: weeks later and she was there again.

624
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: So what I'm hearing is that Greg Engliss is going

625
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: to actually marry you.

626
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

627
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 5: Well, I've got to tell you, Jody, I would have

628
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 5: had no chance if Greg English, none, none, whatsoever.

629
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: It's form that I loved that.

630
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 4: Not only was she a fan, but she's our sort

631
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 4: of woman that at a formal function, by the sound

632
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 4: of it, was like.

633
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: Up the bunny, Yeah you're where is she? Where is she?

634
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: Let me find you? And we went in the fall.

635
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: That sounds like just amazing.

636
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 4: But you do talk so passionately, and so do we

637
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 4: about how much sport means to people. And you mentioned

638
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 4: there that for some people the buddies might be the

639
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 4: only thing they.

640
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: Have in center community and belonging. And how you remember,

641
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 5: I mean I took my son in twenty fourteen when

642
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 5: he would have been thirteen to the Grand Final, and

643
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 5: when we won, and my mum taking me in seventy one,

644
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 5: there was that real sense of my mum had passed

645
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 5: away by then, that real sense of family and all

646
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 5: of that identity so important.

647
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 4: Given that there's been a lot of uproar and it's

648
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 4: been the first time this year that it's happened where

649
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 4: for free to air AFL it's behind a paywall on Saturday.

650
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 4: So if your team's playing on Saturday, and that might

651
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 4: be your one thing that you love and you look

652
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 4: forward to every weekend unless you've got sometimes twenty five

653
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 4: dollars a month, which for Australians at the moment with

654
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 4: cost of living, it's the first thing that goes. It's

655
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 4: the first thing that feels like an excessive extent.

656
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that?

657
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 4: And even on a bigger scale, we've got the soccer

658
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 4: US who qualified for a World Cup and there wasn't

659
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 4: the scenes in fed Square because it wasn't really promoted.

660
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 4: And then you've got the World Test Championship overnight and

661
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: I'm like, do I need what.

662
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 3: Do I needs happening? Where do I watch it?

663
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 4: Is that something of national importance that we can fix?

664
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 5: It is it's hard to fix, hard to unscramble the

665
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 5: egg and today's media is really difficult. I was at

666
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 5: give them a free Atus, the broadcaster of AFL, was

667
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 5: at Channel seven last night opening their new headquarters and

668
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 5: one of the things that you know, I identify with

669
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 5: going up as a kid. The reason why I'm an

670
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 5: AFL supporter is because it was on TV on a

671
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 5: Saturday afternoon. No one played AFL I knew, and it

672
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 5: wasn't on any local oval. There weren't AFL goals up

673
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 5: and so it is an issue. It's one that my

674
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 5: government is big supporters of free to air. We have

675
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 5: done any ciphering rules. It's complex because you do need

676
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 5: funding for sports and all of that. But one of

677
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 5: the things that I think you've correctly identified there is

678
00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 5: that some of the offshore owned platforms don't promote things.

679
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 5: So the cricket, for example, at the moment that's on

680
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 5: and I was stayed here last night in Melbourne. I

681
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 5: was looking up the score on the cricket.

682
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 3: And you're like, Australia all out, where is this? Like

683
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: where Test Champion?

684
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 5: You can't find them. It's an issue. It's an issue.

685
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 5: I'm not over promising a solution, but it is. It's

686
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 5: a challenge.

687
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: You're looking into it.

688
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Look, we have done a whole lot of measures.

689
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 5: If it was just up to the sporting codes, I

690
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 5: think you would see potentially a bit less. It's one

691
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 5: of the challenges that we have when dealing with sports

692
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 5: free to wear, are they issu isshoes? Which are raised?

693
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 5: Which including what happens on free to air advertising, et cetera.

694
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 5: Those issues. They are all interlinked and they're not simple.

695
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 5: I've given Anika Wells the really easy task of being

696
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 5: the Minister for Communications and Sport.

697
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: It's a portfolio.

698
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 5: She is really passionate about it. I mean, we have

699
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 5: the two hundred million dollar funding for women's sport, the

700
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 5: largest ever funding for infrastructure. How you get all of

701
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 5: these things done are really important. One of the things

702
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 5: about take the opportunity to say it here because it's

703
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 5: pushing against an open door, is sometimes when we fund sport,

704
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 5: people say, well, you know, but what about health or education.

705
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 5: Sport helps health and education. It keeps your physical hospital

706
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 5: bills down in spite of the odd sport injury, when

707
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 5: there's mental health issues out there on the rise. Sports

708
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 5: so important not just for people who played, but people

709
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 5: who watch as well as an impact on them. It

710
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 5: helps contribute to economic activity by people attending sport, playing sport,

711
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 5: watching sport in hospitality venues as well. It helps with

712
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 5: education as well. One of the best things that my

713
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 5: government will hopefully be remembered for in terms of soft

714
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 5: diplomacy is the NRL team in P and G because

715
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 5: in order to play NRL, you're going to go to school,

716
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 5: You've got to do all of these things are going

717
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 5: to be linked in to their education and aid programs

718
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 5: as well. Will it will make an enormous difference in

719
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 5: P and G to uply living standards and the economy

720
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 5: and opportunity there as well.

721
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: Well, it seems like we are aligned in quite a

722
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: few things. PM and I know that you get pictures

723
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: a lot, probably every second of every day, so Jellmy

724
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: and I wanted to take advantage of that because you

725
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: talk about sport with such passions, so do we We

726
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: love covering it. We're federal fans like yourself. Can we

727
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: get a mandate from you that two good sports should

728
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: be the national correspondent when it comes to any sporting events?

729
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: So we're talking any.

730
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 3: I was hoping to lobby for the Olympics, but.

731
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: Olympics, I'll take any Can you see do we need

732
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: to be those people? Surely on the ground of what

733
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: do we need to do.

734
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 5: To get this? I can't think of anyone better. See

735
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 5: what I did there?

736
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: Though, give him some type of think and you'll come up,

737
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 3: come up. Yeah.

738
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like we're not over promising. I remember that.

739
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see that, I said, but we're going to

740
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: run with that.

741
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: We're going to run with that.

742
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you're seeing the news elbow, but

743
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: I might be looking for work, so I.

744
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: May need I may actually need a CV reference from you.

745
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I need you, I need you, I need

746
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: the PM's backing. Yeah.

747
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 5: Well, she was devastated by the project going. I've got

748
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 5: to say her major news source in terms of watching

749
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 5: all though since she's been with me she has to

750
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 5: watch more.

751
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 3: The consumption might have slid a little bit.

752
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 4: Georgie, through work, recently met Tom Cruise, who was the Rocks,

753
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 4: and she flew to Japan.

754
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 3: Georgia gets to meet all the cool people to Japan

755
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: to meet.

756
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: Trump, as you do.

757
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: If I was Prime Minister, and one of a myriad

758
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 4: of reasons why I will never be is that I

759
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 4: would use my position of power to make sure that

760
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, if Roger Federer was playing in Australia

761
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 4: way back when, I would have made it mandate that

762
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 4: I had to shake his hand. Is there any ministerial

763
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 4: power that you've used to meet someone in sport where you've.

764
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: Gone, well, I need to be injected somehow into.

765
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 5: These I would do anything to meet Roger. I, you know,

766
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 5: have such a I have a man crash on Roger Feder.

767
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 5: I love the way that he played the sport. If

768
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 5: I could do one of his backhands, just one now,

769
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 5: the way that down the line, I would be a

770
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 5: very happy person.

771
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 3: He didn't get the chance to meet Roger.

772
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: No, this will we manifest a lot of things on

773
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: this and one of them sitting is yourself. This is

774
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: living proof. But what we can manifest things?

775
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: So who would you? What's the what's you know? You're

776
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: having a dinner party? Who's there in the sporting world?

777
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 5: Roger?

778
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: Roger obviously ye fed express he listens, he'll be there.

779
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 5: Well shall I pick Lauren Jackson? Is great fun, she

780
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 5: is awesome g.

781
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: Of course of course yeah, yeah, they go anna he's got.

782
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 5: To be there now at the risk, buddy.

783
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 4: Buddy, Oh okay, so we're going beyond three continue of course,

784
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 4: more more of a table than three can work out, right, right.

785
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 5: Sham kerr. I do get to do some things that

786
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 5: and occasionally they slipped through without people really noticing how

787
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 5: how much of a personal decision they are. For the

788
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 5: King's coronation, I had to pick rather than for the

789
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 5: Queen's Her Majesty's funeral, people went from Australia overseas. I said,

790
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 5: why don't we save money and pick Australians who are

791
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 5: based in the UK. Now, this one did save money,

792
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 5: so completely justified economic rationalism responsibility.

793
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 7: But I got Sam Kerve to be the flag bearer

794
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 7: at the King's coronation and that to me was like yeah,

795
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 7: And I was waiting for the backlash from sort of

796
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 7: some of the far right sort of people going oh

797
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 7: my goodness, you picked this, you know, person with characteristics

798
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 7: that I think are just fantasty.

799
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 5: That goal that she scored in the semi I think

800
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 5: it was I will cry.

801
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 3: That was like speak about goals in a loser.

802
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 5: That was like wow, you know.

803
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 3: And also the a cl that never hears Also, I

804
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: loved it.

805
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 4: The way that you justified different things that I don't

806
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 4: know parliament level is the same way that I try

807
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 4: to get things done at Technically.

808
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 3: I didn't lie. I was the most viable.

809
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 5: Choice, but there was a shame curve as the flag

810
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 5: bearer and Nick Cave.

811
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 3: It's no one read the teeling, but we should have.

812
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: The diagram is Albow's face. I see.

813
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, we were going to ask you some

814
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 4: of this, all that questions. But I feel like now

815
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 4: that we know that Sam curves up there.

816
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: We had we had, we had Mary Fowler, Sam Kerr.

817
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 5: Mary's great. But seriously, that that goal is the soccer

818
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 5: for me is below Regula and AFL. But that goal

819
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 5: is the best goal I have ever seen?

820
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 3: Did you see it in real time?

821
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 4: To be prime minister, I'll just take that part of.

822
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 5: Penny Penny Wong and a wells will be hi with people.

823
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 5: There were people falling over yeah, into the rose in front.

824
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 5: It was just chaos because it was just such a

825
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 5: people didn't expect her to take the shot. No, he

826
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 5: expected one more touch and it was just bang, was perfect, perfect,

827
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 5: So good warning Ponting. Oh look Warne. I loved the

828
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 5: way that he played, and I you know, I went

829
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 5: to his last test at the SCG. As you do.

830
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 5: People tend to finish their careers at the SCG. You know, McGraw,

831
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 5: warn Gilly, all of them, Steve wore so yeah. But

832
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 5: but punter right. I love the fact that punters from

833
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 5: Melbray outside.

834
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: Of line, they'll tell you they they'll shut.

835
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 5: Your working class community. And so I met Warnie, but

836
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 5: I know Ricky met him quite a few times. So

837
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 5: I'll pick Ponting.

838
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 1: Well Cleary John's and by that I mean Nathan and Andrew.

839
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 5: Nathan and Andrew. What about Maddie.

840
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 2: No, we've gone. We've got we have to make tough

841
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: decisions here, so it has to be.

842
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 3: We'd also have you for another four hours. We realized

843
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 3: that we.

844
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 2: Are run Joey or Nathan Cleary.

845
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: Joey, Oh yeah, I see that quick one, because.

00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: He's not an immortal yet and will he be?

847
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 5: Cleary will be absolutely four Grand Finals and he dominated, Yeah,

848
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 5: unlike when he single handedly basically turned a gamer out.

849
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 3: They were gone, don't Georgie still can't talk about it.

850
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: I almost named Jeremy's unborn baby Ezra.

851
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 3: She did?

852
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,800

Speaker 4: I genuinely text Georgie and said, well in good news.

855
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 4: No team in history is ever lost from here, And

856
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 4: I think you can point the exact moment Nathan clearly

857
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 4: decided to put his hello a challenge to kick.

858
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: Look, but if he tried to block it out.

859
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 4: If then you wanted to advertise the game to someone

860
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 4: who was that it was normal.

861
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 5: The best individual performance ever.

862
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: In a Grand and been a part of Jewish, the

863
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: best Grand finals we've ever seen. And they happened to

864
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: lose both of them, but we were there.

865
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 5: You've won a lot. We went forty three years between

866
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 5: seventy one and twenty fourteen. You coming up to twenty

867

Speaker 2: I think at the moment we gave.

879
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 3: You Adam, actually Warranton gave him away.

880
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:59,480

00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,040

Speaker 3: We love the very last.

883
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 5: It's been a good mentor.

884
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: He has, he really really has, he really has.

885
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 5: He'll be the new Gibney and he gets to play

886
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 5: half the time.

887
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: What we need is for him to just rebuilt as

888
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: a terminator just all completely bionic and then he'll play

889
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: for nine years.

890
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,840

892
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 5: I love it him and a J. When when a

893
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 5: J was going to go, I drew the line. Really,

894
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 5: I drew the.

895
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 4: Line, PM, just quietly. When you draw the line doesn't

896
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 4: mean more than say when we draw the line, because

897
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 4: when you call the club and go enough is enough.

898
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 5: I am now loving very hard for South Sydney to

899
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 5: play at Alliance. It is a joke.

900
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,200

903
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 5: I mean, for goodness, fully taxpayer funded, fully taxpayer funded

904
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 5: by New South Wales taxpayers. They let the Waratahs play there,

905
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 5: they let Sydney f C play there because you know

906
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:26,040

910
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 3: Wait, so who needs to approve this now?

911
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 5: Just the stake I have. Let me tell you, let

912
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 5: me tell you this will be a source of ongoing

913

Speaker 1: Such a good stadium, Such a good stadium. We've got

922
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: two more things if you be so generous with your time.

923
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Kathy or Thorpey, this is our last he saw that.

924
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 4: Oh wow, and that's like choosing between the nation's goodness.

925
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 3: I know this is the hard hitting. We warmed you up.

926
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 3: We warmed you up.

927
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: We knew the Prime ministership was going to come with challenges.

928
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: It's got hard questions.

929
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 5: It's got to be Kathy, Yeah, it has to be

930
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 5: just because of that moment and what it means.

931
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 3: Remember where you were.

932
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 5: I was outside the stadium watching it on a big screen.

933
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: Amazing in your defense.

934
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 5: And you could hear the roar as she turned around

935
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 5: into the strait. You could just hear it. And afterwards

936
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 5: you just hear the cheer, which was inside and outside

937
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 5: like a lot of people work around the stadium at

938
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 5: the time, there were big screens and stuff.

939
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 4: I still can't the pressure, the goosebumps. And then she

940
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 4: addressed the matildas it was before the world come and

941
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 4: she spoke to them about feeling that pressure.

942
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 3: And it's amazing about the joy I have.

00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 5: You know, that was a moment in the election campaign

962
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 5: that made my path to the lodge that much smooth.

963
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 2: As a bulldozed in front of you.

964
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 5: What's incredible was that he had said, describe himself as

965
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 5: a bulldozer.

966
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,760

Speaker 5: Just it's a child. Let them win. I mean, for

968
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,160

00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: We kissed the ba and we let the children win.

970
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 5: As well. Telling about this conservative right when conservatives just

971
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 5: you know, for goodness, oh wow.

972
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: But does that honestly, does that just it does take

973
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: some of the pressure off because you would be in

974
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: so many photo ops with like an assortment of sporting takes.

975
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 5: It totally off. Well. During the election campaign, my team,

976
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 5: some of whom may have sporting capacity that I'm not

977
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 5: aware of, none of whom have shown any capacity to

978
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 5: have as much a nerdy interest. Let me put it

979
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 5: that way politely. Given they will listen to this podcast,

980
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 5: they constantly have this oh my goodness moments. So we

981
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 5: have a charity cricket game at Kiribilly, the Prime Minister's

982
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 5: eleven and so Brettley running in, knocked him, knocked him

983
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 5: to cheek. It was yeah, it was with the tennis.

984
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 5: I was with the tennis ball and and and it wasn't.

985
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 3: He wasn't he It was Bollywood Bradley.

986
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he is a friend of mine. But they

987
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 5: do get horrified whenever I agreed to do stuff because

988
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 5: you know that one time you because John Howard. Well

989
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 5: there was but that was a moment that was heroic

990
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 5: throwing myself in for a tackle.

991
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: But they get worried because John Howard.

992
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 5: They get worried because all of these things. So during

993
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 5: the election campaign, literally would have been thirteen days out.

994
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 5: The second last Sunday I did the Footy Show and

995
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 5: so Andrew John's and Freddie Fittler. We're doing the Past

996
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 5: the Ball competition. Yes, I saw the now five in

997
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 5: row five row.

998
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 2: You really didn't.

999
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 5: I was a half back.

1000
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so did you say, Joey, please, I know what

1001
00:55:59,560 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 1: I'm doing.

1002
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 5: Got But they were like, oh my god, you can

1003
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 5: just see the look of my press sect of horror.

1004
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 4: Because we can do so much work that can be

1005
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 4: undone in sixty seconds.

1006
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 5: Of not getting one in. We've done an interview that

1007
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 5: was really good and we talked about my love for

1008
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 5: South and they'd shown photos with me with a little

1009
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 5: They've done all of that and the rally and everything else,

1010
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 5: and it's all about to go to Custard in the

1011
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 5: past all competition. So yeah, but you do worry because

1012
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 5: the one you get wrong, of course, is the one

1013
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 5: that they will show it on TV over and over again.

1014
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 5: But John Howard got more than one. That was it

1015
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 5: is it is risky to do sporty things.

1016
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can totally.

1017
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 5: I had. I was in Bendigo when it was a

1018
00:56:54,360 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 5: minister playing. We're announcing a tennis funding and they brought

1019
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 5: up this junior player, a young woman or girl, she

1020
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 5: was thirteen or something, and my team said you can't win,

1021
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 5: and I go, oh, it's okay, you know, I'm especially

1022
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 5: she slaughtered me. She was so good, she was so good.

1023
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 3: Turns out it was ash party.

1024
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 5: She was tiny, she was tiny. The power that she

1025
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 5: got in her stroke for phenomenal. It was so good.

1026
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,320
