Speaker 3: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Good morning Patty, Morning boys, Good morning Jack.
Speaker 4: Good to see you guys.
Speaker 2: Did everyone get their democracy sausage?
Speaker 4: I did?
Speaker 5: I did?
Speaker 6: We missed out as well.
Speaker 2: There were no snags notes?
Speaker 4: Oh no, And this is your first time voting in Australia.
Speaker 1: I tell you what right? Coming in cold quite the
Speaker 1: system you have here?
Speaker 4: What's wrong with the system.
Speaker 6: There's a lot wrong.
Speaker 2: That I had to watch videos. I had to speak
Speaker 2: to my.
Speaker 1: Kids eighteen and twenty one to tell us how do
Speaker 1: you vote in Australia?
Speaker 2: That there's two slips?
Speaker 1: What do you mean there's two slips of the house
Speaker 1: of this house? Were we in Game of Thrones?
Speaker 4: That big white slip that you have.
Speaker 2: Some eight thing with all these parties?
Speaker 1: Then why it's like and then if you want to
Speaker 1: go above the line and blow how do.
Speaker 2: You all know this?
Speaker 6: You didn't do below the line? Did you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I don't know what I did get this?
Speaker 1: So so my wife and I that were a wide eyed,
Speaker 1: we were like staggering there going out. We have that
Speaker 1: first time voting then like yeah, whatever, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: they let us sit at a table in the middle
Speaker 1: of this sort of sports hall. Were in at the school,
Speaker 1: opposite each other swapping notes while everyone else just wandered
Speaker 1: around looking.
Speaker 2: Over our shoulders. You could do that and we were like,
Speaker 2: what what number you putting down?
Speaker 1: That? Well? We did not that there were a couple
Speaker 1: of old people that were looking over my shoulder and
Speaker 1: you can't hide it because it's eight foot bit of
Speaker 1: paper there all those.
Speaker 4: Parties, you're like a slow kid getting extra time in there.
Speaker 2: God, it was so intimidating.
Speaker 1: Then there's the blessed them that I take it there
Speaker 1: volunteers that work so hard for Do they live there
Speaker 1: in those facilities? No one does that job is under
Speaker 1: the age of seventy seven.
Speaker 4: I thought, volunteers.
Speaker 2: Now, why is it.
Speaker 1: Only the domain of the old people that do? Are
Speaker 1: we thinking they're trust worthy? They're the gatekeepers of democracy.
Speaker 4: Maybe you had to work in the first election or
Speaker 4: something to be eligible.
Speaker 2: And it is that.
Speaker 1: Where did they get cardboard voting where there's no secrecy
Speaker 1: you could just like chat or to spy on the
Speaker 1: person next to you.
Speaker 2: We have to go into a thing where you close
Speaker 2: a current behind you.
Speaker 1: In the UK really, oh yes, dignity is preserved it's
Speaker 1: like going into a changing room, but are you.
Speaker 4: Really trying to cheat off the person next to you?
Speaker 1: Well, their vote is the kind of because I was
Speaker 1: like at one point I sat was looking at my
Speaker 1: phone to my daughter said how are we going to
Speaker 1: vote as a family? Then then he went, you aren't
Speaker 1: really supposed to be using your phone. I went, then
Speaker 1: I could be here another hour, I could be I
Speaker 1: could be.
Speaker 2: Here till midnight. This is so complicated.
Speaker 6: It's so bad.
Speaker 7: You know, even we started voting at eighteen, we still
Speaker 7: do it the same way and we use a grayllad
Speaker 7: pencil for goodness.
Speaker 6: Sake, ye pencil as well. Yes, it's crazy.
Speaker 7: Why don't we have electronic voting already? Can't we just
Speaker 7: get in with the modern days? And like what does
Speaker 7: America do?
Speaker 6: I think they have they fix it?
Speaker 4: Well, they had the electronic machines and that.
Speaker 5: Was what.
Speaker 4: Yeh dodgy.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's still I have to say this. My
Speaker 1: wife and I it was a buzz of huge ex
Speaker 1: something every weekend getting to have our first vote here.
Speaker 1: And I tell you what a straining good at right
Speaker 1: that it's compulsory. It's not in the UK and you
Speaker 1: get increasing lower and lower at turnout kids aren't engaged
Speaker 1: at all, so they've just given up their political words.
Speaker 1: Both my daughters knew what they knew, the names of
Speaker 1: all the candidates, what their policies were. They're so engaged
Speaker 1: because it's their world that they're growing into.
Speaker 4: That there's very few things while there is nothing else where,
Speaker 4: every single person in the country is participating on the
Speaker 4: same thing at the same time.
Speaker 1: What about all the party hecklers you have outside in
Speaker 1: there like that?
Speaker 6: It's pretty much children's TV.
Speaker 2: It's not children's TV show.
Speaker 1: Those colored tops are like the Wiggles, and if you
Speaker 1: walk down there and they letter you, just they jump out.
Speaker 4: That's why it's such a shame you didn't get the sausage,
Speaker 4: because I feel like the sausage is the reward running
Speaker 4: the gaunt let them do to actually.
Speaker 1: Find they let me just take my dock ins.
Speaker 4: Everybody gets a vote.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: My other big question from the election of the weekend
Speaker 1: is how did trumpet patriots get all of our phone numbers?
Speaker 2: No, seriously, how did they get every one of our
Speaker 2: phone numbers?
Speaker 6: I feel like the only person who wasn't getting this nonundated.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I don't know if you could, Christian.
Speaker 7: I couldn't even like delete them or block them.
Speaker 1: You know, normally can go to delete and then also
Speaker 1: gives you another option board delete reports it.
Speaker 2: You can't, Clive won't not you?
Speaker 4: So are you getting him right up until Saturday morning?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: Like three four five a day.
Speaker 2: How did they get all of our phone numbers?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 7: But you know it wasn't illegal because they weren't subject
Speaker 7: to the.
Speaker 6: Blackout, the twenty four hour blackout.
Speaker 7: There's like a loophole that they can actually just keep sending.
Speaker 1: Them because it wasn't getting any messages from any other parties.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, correct, I think on Sunday night, though he
Speaker 4: apologized for so many texts.
Speaker 2: It's too late.
Speaker 1: Millions look huge. So perhaps you tell me this, then
Speaker 1: we go and vote. Then they get the slips, and
Speaker 1: then who counts them? Do they count them out that
Speaker 1: voting area? Other people at the back actually count them
Speaker 1: as they go along.
Speaker 2: I still do.
Speaker 4: It's the same people in the vests that were ticking
Speaker 4: us off the book.
Speaker 7: No, they take it to like a warehouse, so there'll
Speaker 7: be allotted sort of locations around the country, sort of
Speaker 7: counting centers and it's just like rows and rows of
Speaker 7: tables and just volunteers just counting.
Speaker 2: How do they do it in batches of what?
Speaker 6: I actually don't know.
Speaker 1: You're interested because obviously huge millions of people they show
Speaker 1: on AB so important.
Speaker 4: They showed some coverage of the back rooms where they're counting,
Speaker 4: and at one point they said, we've got cameras in
Speaker 4: ninety different counting booths. That is overkilled.
Speaker 1: TV these days, so it's just shrinking. It's got ninety cameras.
Speaker 1: What are you using them for when it's not every three?
Speaker 1: Are they borrowing it from people?
Speaker 7: We've got, like, you know, cardboard booths, but we've got
Speaker 7: ninety high tech cameramras.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, And where where do those booths go? Obviously
Speaker 2: when you go back to my care or wherever they
Speaker 2: came from. Where do they get put away from our series?
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by.
Speaker 1: All the people doing the counter though, so are those
Speaker 1: around the country, because obviously it is so important. They're
Speaker 1: the frontline of it. Are they government officials? Are they
Speaker 1: all civil servants? Could you or a volunteer?
Speaker 7: You can volunteer because my brother and sister in law
Speaker 7: did it. Maybe a couple of federal elections ago for
Speaker 7: the Australian Electoral Commission. You can not all volunteers. You can,
Speaker 7: like they take in a certain intake before each election.
Speaker 4: Is it'd be thousands and.
Speaker 1: It's really good money. Are they're not allowed to go
Speaker 1: home until every vote is counted.
Speaker 2: This and actually the other games on. Now I'm going
Speaker 2: to go. It's a closet.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter huge, My god, it's a closet. I
Speaker 1: love democracy, but I really care about the foot tea.
Speaker 7: Is that like a jury system where if you're serving
Speaker 7: on a jury panel, you can't go home until there's.
Speaker 4: Surely they're allowed to go home?
Speaker 2: Because you know what that could people do it like
Speaker 2: nodding off sixty?
Speaker 1: Oh god, I have to start again, go and bring
Speaker 1: all those thousands one two.
Speaker 4: Because the close seats they keep counting for up to
Speaker 4: a week.
Speaker 1: There's still probably somewhere now counting. Now it's the same
Speaker 1: group of people and they're not allowed to go home.
Speaker 2: They just they just forced feed them.
Speaker 3: Red Bull Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: To Patsy for someone like you a journalist Saturday Night.
Speaker 1: That must be so exciting.
Speaker 7: Well yeah it was, but I mean it was so
Speaker 7: obvious very early on there.
Speaker 1: And were you expecting them because obviously all the polls
Speaker 1: and this happens all around the world these days, so
Speaker 1: people say one thing to the Polsters and then suddenly
Speaker 1: the opposite.
Speaker 7: Opposite happens. Well, all roads were pointing to a Labor win,
Speaker 7: So no, it wasn't surprising, but the how much they
Speaker 7: won was like it was phenomenous.
Speaker 2: It was brutal.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me this, pertsy, Do you know of
Speaker 1: an oppositional leader actually losing their seat in a general election?
Speaker 2: That must be so rare.
Speaker 7: I think it is the worst result for the Coalition
Speaker 7: in nearly its one hundred year history, so not since
Speaker 7: I believe World War Two I might stand corrected.
Speaker 6: Have they had such a poor result? So he lost
Speaker 6: his seat if.
Speaker 7: Dixon Peter Dutton has held that for nearly a quarter
Speaker 7: of a century, so they'll be rallying the troops for
Speaker 7: a new leader this week.
Speaker 6: But it was just it was a whitewash so quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it slide win because often you're watching it for
Speaker 1: hours and it's so tight and they're still counting.
Speaker 4: Trip into the next day, into the next week. Half
Speaker 4: time at the foot it was obvious.
Speaker 1: And which channel do you watch, Patsy? You a B
Speaker 1: C or can't stomach that?
Speaker 6: Watch channel nine?
Speaker 4: Do you really do it?
Speaker 2: Everybody? I thought two work on AB secrets.
Speaker 1: I can all try to DNA being exposed to that
Speaker 1: kind of communist propaganda.
Speaker 6: I thought everybody watched not everyone.
Speaker 1: Watches the A. Now it were speculating about how that
Speaker 1: she count all the votes and all these people around
Speaker 1: the country that are doing this important work. Patsy positive
Speaker 1: the theory. There's secret warehouses. I mean there must be
Speaker 1: a lot of these secret warehouses. Do you go to
Speaker 1: a website secret warehouse dot com? Do get in trouble?
Speaker 1: Now Cheryl has worked in one of these secret warehouses.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Cheryl.
Speaker 5: Hi, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good. So we've got so.
Speaker 1: Many questions, and thank you very much for calling in.
Speaker 1: So you've done, you've you've you've been counting votes over
Speaker 1: the weekend or on the past.
Speaker 5: Yes, I have. I've done about seven elections now, so
Speaker 5: done the state and the federal elections. Plus I did
Speaker 5: the referendum as well.
Speaker 1: Wow, So can you explain to everyone listening on us
Speaker 1: right now how does it work? Then we can'st the
Speaker 1: vote and then what happens next.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so what happens is everyone comes in to do
Speaker 5: their voting, so they're either going to go vote and
Speaker 5: get their names mapped off on the list and they're
Speaker 5: give them their papers. My duty was actually the declaration officer,
Speaker 5: so I'm the one that actually you come to me
Speaker 5: when you're voting outside of your electorate, So if you're
Speaker 5: not voting within your area or you're coming from a
Speaker 5: different suburb and you're not on the book there, so
Speaker 5: you come to me.
Speaker 1: And then one was once our vote is sort of done,
Speaker 1: who counts them? They count there or Patsy's story about
Speaker 1: these secret warehouses, We count them.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 5: So each each voting center that you go to or
Speaker 5: do their own count and then it goes off to
Speaker 5: a warehouse and then it gets counted again.
Speaker 1: Oh so there's two people. There's two people are counting
Speaker 1: each vote.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, right, I guess that's good for consistency, so
Speaker 4: you don't have people cheating.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, So all the people, well, we had about
Speaker 5: a or nine people at our center working, so every
Speaker 5: person that's there, you're there from the start of the
Speaker 5: day to the very end of the day until the
Speaker 5: end of the count and every single person is helping.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that is a long day because most of
Speaker 1: them open at what eight am on a Saturday.
Speaker 5: We start at seven because we've got to be there
Speaker 5: before theut the doors open to get set up, so
Speaker 5: we're there from seven o'clock and we finished at ten
Speaker 5: o'clock class on a Saturday night, but we were rostered
Speaker 5: on to work to eleven.
Speaker 1: And what is it is it a mixture of volunteers
Speaker 1: and people who are actually paid.
Speaker 5: You're actually paid, So you actually go on to either
Speaker 5: the Australian maatual website or the Victorian one, depending on
Speaker 5: whether you're doing the state or federal, and you actually
Speaker 5: choose to work and then you can actually choose a
Speaker 5: role as well, so if you've already been in the past,
Speaker 5: you can do one of the higher duties. Otherwise you
Speaker 5: can just be one of the basic people.
Speaker 2: And tell me this. Do you enjoy it? It must
Speaker 2: be so exciting.
Speaker 5: Oh it's very different because I actually work at childcare normally,
Speaker 5: so it's a totally different role to write childcare duties.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I totally enjoy it. So I started off
Speaker 5: the very first time of just doing the count seek,
Speaker 5: but since then it worked the whole day.
Speaker 1: Brent, Well, thank you very much for you and your
Speaker 1: colleagues and teammates all do as well.
Speaker 2: Ll thanks you giving us a call. Have a good day.
Speaker 5: Okay, thanks too. Okay.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Fat So all of your daughters. You're getting ready for
Speaker 1: a school camp.
Speaker 6: Yep, you're a camp.
Speaker 7: They're off on Wednesday, going hiking for three days, which
Speaker 7: will be interesting.
Speaker 2: Now, why this, timmy, you?
Speaker 1: I know, actually it's it's very mild at the moment,
Speaker 1: but it normally this is winter time.
Speaker 6: I know they do this every time. I said that
Speaker 6: to the love God, I said, why can't they go
Speaker 6: in the summer. It would be so Jesus easier packing
Speaker 6: them off, But no, they have to go when it's gone.
Speaker 4: Well, what the weather like this week is? Today is
Speaker 4: the summer's dayad over the weekend.
Speaker 7: It's closing in though. We're going to get a cold
Speaker 7: front on all days of Wednesday when she leaves and rains.
Speaker 6: Not typical.
Speaker 7: So we're busy packing up and of course they've got
Speaker 7: to it's like a total self sufficiency camp. They've got
Speaker 7: to cook for themselves the whole and so you've got.
Speaker 2: To that's quite a lot.
Speaker 4: That's stid, real lot.
Speaker 7: So it's our whole kitchen table is covered with canned food,
Speaker 7: which kind of feels like rubbing a cat's fur up
Speaker 7: the wrong way, because I don't like giving her canned food.
Speaker 7: But there's no like that's what you do, isn't it.
Speaker 6: You can't have perish.
Speaker 1: I know it looks so old timing doesn't like hand
Speaker 1: in your kids canned food, like we're back in the wall, yes,
Speaker 1: you know, and they look at it like, what's this,
Speaker 1: that's dinner.
Speaker 6: I don't think she's ever had anything, so she's got to.
Speaker 1: With They're also heavy. She tried that putting it on
Speaker 1: the back, because my daughters really do this. So like
Speaker 1: these little turtles, they can bear it up, walk down
Speaker 1: the corridor.
Speaker 2: They going to do a couple of days like marching.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 7: So we've said to her, you know, she's pretty good, though,
Speaker 7: let's like minimize packing. Just take the bear minimum, especially
Speaker 7: your toilet trees. We're not taking five million.
Speaker 1: I would say that's the essential sort of toilet trees,
Speaker 1: toothbr some of those cans or something.
Speaker 4: But I forget what I was going to say you
Speaker 4: tried these dehydrated meals.
Speaker 2: That's what the army is.
Speaker 4: That's going to be way lighter than a candle fruit.
Speaker 2: Were dugging around the coals in her back.
Speaker 6: Where do I get those?
Speaker 4: I don't know, I actually don't know.
Speaker 2: And a conda?
Speaker 6: Do you can you get food and a conda?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the people coming on these hiking expeditions with
Speaker 1: all the nutrients and then as you boil them in water,
Speaker 1: it gets bigger again.
Speaker 6: Ah right, okay, Well she wasn't really impressed.
Speaker 1: With your like eighteens in our backpack. Parents not read
Speaker 1: the email, or he's just still just leave the school
Speaker 1: playground and d four on the biggest trick.
Speaker 7: Beansum, maybe back She's glad to be cooking for herself.
Speaker 2: Get some spam yuk.
Speaker 6: The last cat was terrible.
Speaker 7: They served them up Mexican and she said, Mum, it
Speaker 7: looked like cat vomit.
Speaker 6: And she threw it into a bush because she just
Speaker 6: couldn't eat it. She just couldn't.
Speaker 2: She excited about it.
Speaker 7: She looking forward, She really is, yeah, because they buddy up,
Speaker 7: you know, with their estimation and it's all about the social.
Speaker 2: Side of it, and are they confiscating their phones.

Speaker 1: you know what, Sunday you felt like, it's a day
Speaker 1: of life. We're going to tie you on, throw some
Speaker 1: stuff out. I found that we had a brand new
Speaker 1: mink condition pair of crutches. I went, I don't know
Speaker 1: how we own these, I said, these have to go.
Speaker 1: She goes, no, no, we need them just in case.
Speaker 2: What what do you know is going to happen?
Speaker 1: I slept one eye open, Patsy, if you've got a
Speaker 1: story about you as.
Speaker 7: A Yeah, we went to America and went to Universal
Speaker 7: Studios on the tour and then at the end, you know,
Speaker 7: you get back on the bus and we were staying
Speaker 7: in downtown LA. It's about an hour's drive. It's quite
Speaker 7: a ways out Universal Studios. Anyway, this driver, this dear
Speaker 7: lady we had, it was her first day.
Speaker 6: In the on the job, and very clearly was lost.
Speaker 6: So it should have taken an hour. Three hours later
Speaker 6: we are still driving round and round.
Speaker 7: Anyway, we had dinner, a dinner booking at this restaurant
Speaker 7: we really really wanted to go to. It was nighttime,
Speaker 7: we'd missed the dinner's dinner booking, and we were clearly lost.
Speaker 7: And there's the you know, welcome to Beverly Hills side.
Speaker 7: We kept passing it like every twenty minutes and it'd
Speaker 7: be on one side of the bus.
Speaker 2: He stuck for a day on that round of out,
Speaker 2: just like.
Speaker 6: A game of speed. It was ridiculous. Anyway. Christis Lennard
Speaker 6: over and he said, would you mind, you can pull over.
Speaker 7: I think I know how to get back to where
Speaker 7: we're staying. And she goes, oh no, and he goes, no, seriously,
Speaker 7: it's okay.
Speaker 4: He wanted to drive the bus.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so he said, I know where the hotel is. Like,
Speaker 6: this is ridiculous. We're just going to keep.
Speaker 7: Driving around and around and around. Anyway, So she pulled
Speaker 7: over and he drove our little minibus.
Speaker 4: That's so funny.
Speaker 6: It was so funny, and everyone was so he.
Speaker 2: Said he to make your way around either.
Speaker 7: He's so confusing, You're like the back of our hand.
Speaker 6: It was ridiculous.
Speaker 4: What happened to the step in between, which is just
Speaker 4: tell her the way. If he knows where to go,
Speaker 4: just tell her where to go. Listening.
Speaker 6: She wasn't listening. It was a bit of an intervention,
Speaker 6: and he said, serious, isn't it.
Speaker 7: We're going to be here all night. It's okay, pull
Speaker 7: over and I'm going to drive us there.
Speaker 2: So that is just a crazy, crazy pace.
Speaker 1: And then we years ago, I took the radio show
Speaker 1: there and we did three shows there. It's like the
Speaker 1: early two thousands, and whenever I'm in a new city,
Speaker 1: I just like to go for a walk around it
Speaker 1: for a couple of hours, a great way to discover it.
Speaker 1: Turns out you do not do that in La Suddenly
Speaker 1: I'm somewhere a long way from where we were staying
Speaker 1: on Sunset Strip. Next time, though, the police have pulled
Speaker 1: over and they asked me what I'm up to, and
Speaker 1: I said, I've just you know, I've just arrived. I'm
Speaker 1: just going for a walk. When you don't wander around
Speaker 1: this neighborhood. They put me in the back of the cart.
Speaker 1: They check me back to my hotel for my own safety.
Speaker 1: They said it is not safe. You'd just be wandering.
Speaker 1: And they'd had a complaint where someone said there was
Speaker 1: a suspicious man wandering around the neighborhood.
Speaker 4: There should be one walking on the floe past.
Speaker 2: Checking out the houses.

Speaker 1: were in London and you guys were just like living there,
Speaker 1: and I remember.
Speaker 2: Thinking there mus being so much money in Austrange.
Speaker 4: It was ridiculous. They sent a whole TV crew of
Speaker 4: us over to New York for six months. Then by
Speaker 4: the time we were doing Gap Year Asia and South America,
Speaker 4: They're like, nah, go over for two weeks as much
Speaker 4: as you can, then you come back over here. But
Speaker 4: the first one, it was it was a ridiculous experience
Speaker 4: and came as just a viewer. She was sitting in
Speaker 4: the audience. Her friend of hers was working on the
Speaker 4: show and they had played this prank on me on
Speaker 4: the show where they was meant to be a security
Speaker 4: guard protecting something and somebody tried to steal it and
Speaker 4: I wouldn't let them steal it. So at the green
Speaker 4: room in the after party after the show, I was
Speaker 4: kind of like a mini hero of the episode. Everyone's
Speaker 4: pat me on the back. And then I met the
Speaker 4: anchor for the first time, So who.
Speaker 2: Spoke to her?
Speaker 1: First of all, I love hearing stories about how couples meet,
Speaker 1: So who spoke to who?
Speaker 2: First of all, you're two strangers.
Speaker 4: Two strangers. So I got introduced by her by a
Speaker 4: mutual friend, and I can't remember much of We didn't
Speaker 4: speak much of them, but in a bar later that
Speaker 4: night we spoke for about a couple of hours. Oh wow,
Speaker 4: And it's amazing that we managed to stay together because
Speaker 4: I actually tried to kiss her at the bar and
Speaker 4: she pulled.
Speaker 2: Her head away. Oh wow.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine coming back from that position?
Speaker 1: Very rare, seriously, said dad to daughters. I frown on
Speaker 1: that kind of behavior.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: I thought there was chemistry and energy, and there was
Speaker 4: obviously she just didn't like because.
Speaker 2: I tell you what you thought you were. You thought
Speaker 2: you misedter TV.

Speaker 4: I was feeling particularly giddy.
Speaker 2: That did you? And then what happened then did she
Speaker 2: you go your separate way?
Speaker 4: So yeah, we go our separate ways. But I had
Speaker 4: her number, so I said, why don't we just as
Speaker 4: friends hang.

Speaker 1: the friend zone?
Speaker 2: Did you?
Speaker 4: We went our first date was they were doing those

Speaker 1: was really exciting. It's like a big thing. The whole
Speaker 1: family could vote, so they have her daughters as well,
Speaker 1: my wife. But I'm telling it, it is intimidatingly complicated.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize you had two slips, the green one
Speaker 1: and then that comical sort of six foot loo roll.
