1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Bramiey Roger Gook, Welcome to the studio for the first

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: time since.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't realize it's been so long.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 3: Congratulations.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: We're really proud of that result. And you know, in

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: the meantime we've got to get down to work, right,

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: So it's it's been a busy for couple of months.

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: Would have been a lovely feeling though. I noticed that

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister on his on his way to other duties,

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: was dropped in and there were big hugs all around

11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: because you both previously just recently won elections.

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously we had the state election and I

13
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: can understand everyone you know, gets overwhelmed by the federal

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: election because that's the big show, right. So it's but

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: it was great that the Prime Minister popped in on

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: his way through to Jakarta. He is keen to work

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 2: in partnership with my government to make sure we get

18
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: some great outcomes for the people of Western Australia. He

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: under understands that Western Australia is the engine room of

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: the national economy gets w a so that's why we're

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: keen to work together to get to really build on

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: the next four years.

23
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, a few things have happened. First of all, the

24
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: announcement of the WA.

25
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 4: N RL team.

26
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Yes, how confident are you it's going to work this time?

27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: Oh? Look, we've learned a lot and learned through bitter

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: experience from the from the Western Reds. You might have

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: might have remembered them back in the nineteen nineties and

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: as a kid watching rugby league back then, I was

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: heartbroken by that experience. So we've been really keen to

32
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: make sure that the NRL take its responsibilities towards a

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: new team in the competition properly, which is the reason

34
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: why we work so hard around the negotiations to really

35
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: make sure we get it right. We don't want to

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: see them come give it a try and then go yeah, no,

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: we want it to be fair. You know, if this

38
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: is going to be a team playing in the National League,

39
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: well then they should be treated like all the other teams,

40
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: not you know, penalized for the fact that they're a newcomer.

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: So that's why we're really keen to make sure we

42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: get We got the deal which would actually benefit Western Australia.

43
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: And the Reds were that were Super League as well.

44
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: Wasn't it so slightly different?

45
00:01:59,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: Right?

46
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: They so the redsultimately got cannibalized through that whole league

47
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: of rugby league walls back in the nineteen nineties. So

48
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: let's hope, you know, that it doesn't happen again, that

49
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: we get it right this time. And one of the

50
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: ways we've done it is rather than a team coming

51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: in on their own with the NRL sort of standing back, going,

52
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: you know, give it your best shot, the NRL are

53
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: actually deeply embedded in this new club, so they've got

54
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: a lot of stake in this. That right, it has

55
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: to work.

56
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, of the battle already done.

57
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: The other thing that because I've noticed the reaction to

58
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the Bears is sort of very split down the middle.

59
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: People either lot.

60
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Us or they don't care for it. The other thing

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: you have to win people over with is the Burswel racetrack.

62
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, first on the Bears, I reckon, Now we've

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: got the team. Yeah, now the announcements. Maybe we've got

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: the Perth Bears. They're going to be our team in

65
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: the NRL. So the message to everyone is, look, I

66
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: know this has had a we've had a great debate

67
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: about this. Yeah, you know, I used to watch press conferences.

68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: The journalists were arguing with each other rather than argument

69
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: with me. Sport races passions right. But now we've got

70
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: the Perth Bears. Everyone get on board. It's our local

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: West Ausie team in the NRL and I think everyone

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: will get excited, particularly in the lead up to twenty

73
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: twenty seven which is the first season that they are

74
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: actually competing. But you can see there'll be a huge

75
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: build up and a level of excitement. And this is

76
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: part and parcel of continuing to build the vibrancy of

77
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: Western Australia. We want people to come to Wa to work,

78
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: to live, to play, and part of that is creating content,

79
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: creating opportunities for people to really enjoy everything that we

80
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: have here. And that's why our entertainment and sports precinct

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: at Burswood is also an important part of this continuing

82
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: to build the vibrancy of Western Australia. So that's a

83
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: twenty between a fifteen and twenty thousand seat outdoor concert venue.

84
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: It'll also have the opportunities for cycling events, criterions, things

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: like that, and of course the thing that everyone's talking

86
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: about is a street circuit for motor racing, which will

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: occur maybe one weekend to two weekends a year. But

88
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: the main, the main opportunity here is to continue to

89
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: build a great festival, fair and outdoor entertainment precinct.

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: Did you see any of the Eagles game on TV

91
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: yesterday Roger the Eagles and Securita playing at Optus the

92
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: drone I saw the last quarter. The drone shots that

93
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: the seven were doing yesterday were magnificent. They show these Perth,

94
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: They showed the burswould from a long way out. There

95
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: were just in credit. I was just proud to be

96
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: a West I was watching that. That was just amazing.

97
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can imagine for instance, I mean we've

98
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: identified supercars has been the main sport sports car event

99
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 2: that we would bring to that circuit. The street circuit

100
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: would not only allow for a great stage of a

101
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: great sport event, but it really builds the placemaking of

102
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: Western Australia. You'd see you can imagine, you know, camera

103
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: shots you know, panning from the race course to the

104
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: city scape to the amazing river that we had.

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 4: We had the red Bull thing right.

106
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: Way to promote Perth as a destination and I want

107
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: Perth to be an event destination for Southeast Asia. Along

108
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: with Singapore, along with Hong Kong and other great cities

109
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: in the Southeast Asian region. And the way we do

110
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: that is to make sure we have this infrastructure and

111
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: really just build up the content.

112
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: You know, Jeff Kennet came at Victoria a bit like

113
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: that and he turned Victoria into an amazing straight And of.

114
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 2: Course nowadays you have the Formula one at Albert Park

115
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: and we know how much of a passionate debate that creative.

116
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: And so we believe this is this is our Albert

117
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: Park moment and we could really create an exciting opportunity.

118
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: The other thing we want to do, though, Lisa, is

119
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: that we want to make sure that we build out

120
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: the environmental values of that whole precinct. People may not

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: be aware, but Birdswood Peninsula is actually the site of

122
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: an old dump and not just a dump, a highly

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: toxic waste disposal.

124
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: Oh.

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 4: There was always concern about building up to the Yeah,

126
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: that's right.

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember when off the shadow Minister for Sport,

128
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: we criticized it put in the stadium. Yeah, And so

129
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that we can really build

130
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: out the environmental values, particularly along that river's edge where

131
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: I mean it's such a beautiful environment. We want to

132
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: continue to make sure we consolidate that.

133
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned Singapore. You're heading to Singapore and Indonesia soon,

134
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 3: so there's a bit going on. Is that part of

135
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: the reason to keep those times.

136
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: It's the ongoing work that we're doing to make sure

137
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: that Western Australia can take advantage of the economic opportunities

138
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: in the Southeast Asian region. So obviously we're out there

139
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: talking to industry groups, talking to governments in the region

140
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: to see what opportunities there are. So in particular, I'm

141
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 2: traveling to Surabao in East Java. We have a sister

142
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: state relationship with East Java and they're bringing a Surabaian

143
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: soccer team over to Western Australia in July. This is

144
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: all part of celebrating the thirty fifth anniversary of that relationship.

145
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: So I'm going over there just to have some government

146
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: and business meetings to continue to promote Western Australia is

147
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: a great place to invest and a great place to

148
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: do trade with.

149
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: Now, we are very very grateful to you have kindly

150
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: agreed to do a sketch in our poorly drawn Pets fundraiser.

151
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: We're raising money for the cat haven. Are you do

152
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: you have pets?

153
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: I do. I've got a Burmese. It is a fifteen

154
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: year old Burmese, and bless him, he's he's getting on

155
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: a bit now.

156
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,119
Speaker 1: My Burmese is twenty and they do well.

157
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a gorgeous little cat. A big shout out

158
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: to Terry. And somehow I've managed to be recruited into

159
