They're so engaged 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.640 because it's their world that they're growing into. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.160 That there's very few things while there is nothing else where, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.880 every single person in the country is participating on the 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:42.800 same thing at the same time. 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.160 What about all the party hecklers you have outside in 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:46.640 there like that? 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.240 It's pretty much children's TV. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:49.800 It's not children's TV show. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.080 Those colored tops are like the Wiggles, and if you 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.440 walk down there and they letter you, just they jump out. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.600 That's why it's such a shame you didn't get the sausage, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.520 because I feel like the sausage is the reward running 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.400 the gaunt let them do to actually. 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.920 Find they let me just take my dock ins. 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:08.800 Everybody gets a vote. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.200 The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.279 My other big question from the election of the weekend 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.840 is how did trumpet patriots get all of our phone numbers? 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.320 No, seriously, how did they get every one of our 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:24.880 phone numbers? 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.039 I feel like the only person who wasn't getting this nonundated. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.640 Oh my god, I don't know if you could, Christian. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.320 I couldn't even like delete them or block them. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.480 You know, normally can go to delete and then also 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.000 gives you another option board delete reports it. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.760 You can't, Clive won't not you? 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.880 So are you getting him right up until Saturday morning? 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:42.120 Yes? 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.159 Like three four five a day. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.240 How did they get all of our phone numbers? 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:46.560 No? 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.680 But you know it wasn't illegal because they weren't subject 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.560 to the. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.680 Blackout, the twenty four hour blackout. 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.240 There's like a loophole that they can actually just keep sending. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.640 Them because it wasn't getting any messages from any other parties. 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.599 Yeah, no, correct, I think on Sunday night, though he 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.640 apologized for so many texts. 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:04.960 It's too late. 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:16.720 Millions look huge. So perhaps you tell me this, then 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.919 we go and vote. Then they get the slips, and 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.760 then who counts them? Do they count them out that 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.160 voting area? Other people at the back actually count them 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:26.920 as they go along. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:27.520 I still do. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.919 It's the same people in the vests that were ticking 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:30.600 us off the book. 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.080 No, they take it to like a warehouse, so there'll 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.839 be allotted sort of locations around the country, sort of 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.400 counting centers and it's just like rows and rows of 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.000 tables and just volunteers just counting. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.320 How do they do it in batches of what? 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:46.840 I actually don't know. 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.400 You're interested because obviously huge millions of people they show 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:52.800 on AB so important. 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.720 They showed some coverage of the back rooms where they're counting, 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.520 and at one point they said, we've got cameras in 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.880 ninety different counting booths. That is overkilled. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.680 TV these days, so it's just shrinking. It's got ninety cameras. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.919 What are you using them for when it's not every three? 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.360 Are they borrowing it from people? 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.520 We've got, like, you know, cardboard booths, but we've got 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.320 ninety high tech cameramras. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.920 Yes, yeah, And where where do those booths go? Obviously 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.680 when you go back to my care or wherever they 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.039 came from. Where do they get put away from our series? 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.080 I'm fascinated by. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.320 All the people doing the counter though, so are those 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.279 around the country, because obviously it is so important. They're 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.800 the frontline of it. Are they government officials? Are they 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.200 all civil servants? Could you or a volunteer? 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.520 You can volunteer because my brother and sister in law 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.640 did it. Maybe a couple of federal elections ago for 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.599 the Australian Electoral Commission. You can not all volunteers. You can, 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.560 like they take in a certain intake before each election. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:55.800 Is it'd be thousands and. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.280 It's really good money. Are they're not allowed to go 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.080 home until every vote is counted. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.800 This and actually the other games on. Now I'm going 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.719 to go. It's a closet. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:13.040 It doesn't matter huge, My god, it's a closet. I 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.520 love democracy, but I really care about the foot tea. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.800 Is that like a jury system where if you're serving 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.440 on a jury panel, you can't go home until there's. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.240 Surely they're allowed to go home? 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.400 Because you know what that could people do it like 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:27.480 nodding off sixty? 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.960 Oh god, I have to start again, go and bring 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.480 all those thousands one two. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.680 Because the close seats they keep counting for up to 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:37.160 a week. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.440 There's still probably somewhere now counting. Now it's the same 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.320 group of people and they're not allowed to go home. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.360 They just they just forced feed them. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.440 Red Bull Christian Connell Show podcast. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.160 To Patsy for someone like you a journalist Saturday Night. 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:53.520 That must be so exciting. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.000 Well yeah it was, but I mean it was so 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.960 obvious very early on there. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.600 And were you expecting them because obviously all the polls 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.200 and this happens all around the world these days, so 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.880 people say one thing to the Polsters and then suddenly 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:05.760 the opposite. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.880 Opposite happens. Well, all roads were pointing to a Labor win, 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:13.800 So no, it wasn't surprising, but the how much they 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.560 won was like it was phenomenous. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:18.040 It was brutal. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.480 Can you tell me this, pertsy, Do you know of 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.800 an oppositional leader actually losing their seat in a general election? 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:25.920 That must be so rare. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.360 I think it is the worst result for the Coalition 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.600 in nearly its one hundred year history, so not since 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.040 I believe World War Two I might stand corrected. 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.679 Have they had such a poor result? So he lost 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:40.400 his seat if. 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.240 Dixon Peter Dutton has held that for nearly a quarter 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.440 of a century, so they'll be rallying the troops for 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.480 a new leader this week. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.480 But it was just it was a whitewash so quick. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.680 Yeah, it slide win because often you're watching it for 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.720 hours and it's so tight and they're still counting. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.800 Trip into the next day, into the next week. Half 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.000 time at the foot it was obvious. 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:03.880 And which channel do you watch, Patsy? You a B 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.040 C or can't stomach that? 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.120 Watch channel nine? 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.880 Do you really do it? 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:14.320 Everybody? I thought two work on AB secrets. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.360 I can all try to DNA being exposed to that 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:18.880 kind of communist propaganda. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.800 I thought everybody watched not everyone. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:28.679 Watches the A. Now it were speculating about how that 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.680 she count all the votes and all these people around 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.800 the country that are doing this important work.

I've done about seven elections now, so 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.000 done the state and the federal elections. Plus I did 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.080 the referendum as well. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.760 Wow, So can you explain to everyone listening on us 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.559 right now how does it work? Then we can'st the 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.840 vote and then what happens next. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.600 Yeah, so what happens is everyone comes in to do 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.880 their voting, so they're either going to go vote and 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.880 get their names mapped off on the list and they're 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.520 give them their papers. My duty was actually the declaration officer, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.839 so I'm the one that actually you come to me 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.480 when you're voting outside of your electorate, So if you're 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.600 not voting within your area or you're coming from a 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.439 different suburb and you're not on the book there, so 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:30.959 you come to me. 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.560 And then one was once our vote is sort of done, 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.360 who counts them? They count there or Patsy's story about 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.640 these secret warehouses, We count them. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:40.080 Yea. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.040 So each each voting center that you go to or 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.160 do their own count and then it goes off to 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:46.959 a warehouse and then it gets counted again. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.520 Oh so there's two people. There's two people are counting 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:51.199 each vote. 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.960 Yes, yeah, right, I guess that's good for consistency, so 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.240 you don't have people cheating. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.720 Yes, yeah, So all the people, well, we had about 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.920 a or nine people at our center working, so every 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.199 person that's there, you're there from the start of the 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.000 day to the very end of the day until the 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.640 end of the count and every single person is helping. 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.599 Oh wow, that is a long day because most of 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.439 them open at what eight am on a Saturday. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.000 We start at seven because we've got to be there 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.880 before theut the doors open to get set up, so 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.760 we're there from seven o'clock and we finished at ten 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.520 o'clock class on a Saturday night, but we were rostered 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:24.520 on to work to eleven. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.679 And what is it is it a mixture of volunteers 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:27.839 and people who are actually paid. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.800 You're actually paid, So you actually go on to either 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.480 the Australian maatual website or the Victorian one, depending on 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.280 whether you're doing the state or federal, and you actually 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.240 choose to work and then you can actually choose a 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.640 role as well, so if you've already been in the past, 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.800 you can do one of the higher duties. Otherwise you 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.160 can just be one of the basic people. 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:47.920 And tell me this. Do you enjoy it? It must 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:48.800 be so exciting. 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.280 Oh it's very different because I actually work at childcare normally, 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.560 so it's a totally different role to write childcare duties. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.280 But yeah, I totally enjoy it. So I started off 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.280 the very first time of just doing the count seek, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.280 but since then it worked the whole day. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.320 Brent, Well, thank you very much for you and your 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.000 colleagues and teammates all do as well. 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.000 Ll thanks you giving us a call.
