1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: The PM Anthony Albanezi was over there in China, the

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: first time we've had a PM in China for seven years.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then this is how diplomacy happens. This is

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: how you schmooze. This is how, you know, forget the

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: rhetoric of war and all that stuff. These friendships are

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: forged by this kind of pr they really are.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: And we're not a big country. We've got to, you know,

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: we've got to smooch some international butt.

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: I think that we do. We've got his kissy lips

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: on and over.

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: Have a bit of a kiss, kiss kiss.

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: One of the things that might be being discussed is

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: the two pandas at Adelaide Zoo Wang Wang and Funi.

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: They've been here since two thousand and nine and we

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: pay China one hundred We pay them a million dollars

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: a year to rent these pandas and they've been huge

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: business for Adelaide Zoo. But the lease is coming to

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: an end, and Anthony Albanezi is saying he'd like to

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: extend the lease on the pandas or get some nighter

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: graduates to dress up and get.

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: In because is one of the pans pregnant.

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: No, this is one of the things that's been happening

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: in fourteen years at the zoo. This is why nider

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: graduates may not be interested. There's been ten attempts at breeding,

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: none have led to offspring. Wangwan is now eighteen, Funi

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: is seventeen, and they're saying they may have to then

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: put an end to the breeding because it's too dangerous

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: to ship a pregnant panda if we have to give

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: them back. And it's interesting that China has often used

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: pandas as diplomacy since nineteen forty one. This has led

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: to major trade deals and things by then leasing out

33
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: their pandas to zoos around the world. The US has

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: got three giant pandas Mai Yang Tin Tin and they've

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: had a baby Oh Chao qg this but their lease

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: is up in December, and there's no sign that the

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: fifty year old agreement that Nixon signed will be renewed.

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: So this shows you where the diplomacy lies. Australia is

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: schmoozing to keep the pan well.

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: Albow's trying to get President z down to Australia, which

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: would be nice as long as he doesn't shop with

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: an aircraft carry and some tanks and some guns and

43
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: some bombs coming. We invited you around.

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: And in the midst of all this, we're also seeing

45
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: Scott Morrison and Boris Johnson in Israel's dressed in flat jackets.

46
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Looking I saw a funny meme that was the two

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: people from Dumb and Dumber in their cowboy hats. So

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: if we're trying to get the pandas from China, what's

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: Scott Morrison China trying to get maybe a menora from

50
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Israel to put in the Sharkis clubhouse. What's the deal?

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Hang it from the ceiling where they're doing the renovations.
