Speaker 1: blather on for half an hour.

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: Let's cross across to Eliza Edwards, who is the nine

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: News political reporter in Canberra, because we've got a new

Speaker 2: acting PM right now, Barnaby Joyce, in just a swift

00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 2: whip of his whip, is now in charge of the Nationals.

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: Eliza, welcome to the show.

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on? Yeah?

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 4: I know, guys, Barnaby's backs halfway across.

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: Oh well that was Eliza Edwards channel. Non you come back, Eliza,

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: you're back back.

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened there.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Sorry, we didn't just sweep you out with the vader

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: for a fifteen second political cross. No, no, it's a

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: technical difficulties. It's just the mark of a poor show.

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: But what's going on in Canberra?

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 4: Mate?

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: Talk to us.

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Barnaby has been reinstalled a National's leaders so

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 4: it's out the door for Michael McCormack after three years

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: in the job. He was really dignified today after losing

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: his job. He was still in front of the media

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 4: saying that he respected the will of the party, He

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: wouldn't bad mouth Barnaby, who's really been undermining him for

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: the past three years. And he even stood in as

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: acting PMS in question time because Scott Morrison is of

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 4: course in quarantine and he's finished by saying kase rasa, rasa,

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 4: whatever will be will be.

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Hell, I mean, Eliza, you know all this stuff. You're

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: the political expert. Did you ever see this happening after

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: the well, the affair that went down what was it

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: three years ago with his staffer, Vicki camp beyond.

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: Yes, well hepped Barnaby copped so much flakback then when

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: it was revealed and he was having that affair with

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: his staff member. He's always been a really polarizing figure

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: and I sure didn't see him making a comeback to

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: that top job. But he has really been wanting his

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: job back for the past three and a half year,

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: and there've always been people within the Nationals who have

41
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: supported him, who thought that he would do a better

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: job than Michael McCormack. And obviously enough Nationals believe that

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: that change of leader would help the party ahead of

44
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: an election in about a year's time.

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: Does it do any Is there any does it delegitimize

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: the decision to get rid of Barnaby at the time,

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: when you know, like the bonk band was something that

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: was put in place by the PM at the time

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: for not just well you can see the reasoning behind that.

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Both on an ethical level as well as just like

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: a policy level. Is there any sense of the fact

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: that we're kind of flying in the face of all

53
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: the logic around a bonk band, Eliza, Yeah, I.

54
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: Think it's not only that issue, but there were also

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: serious allegations that he was facing at the time of

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: sexual harassment. A woman in wa made those allegations, which

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: is always firmly denied and it was never proven or

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 4: taken any further. But there was that cloud hanging over

59
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 4: here him at the time as well. So now he's

60
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: sort of been reinstalled, it's like all of that has

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 4: been forgotten pretty much. So yeah, I think it does

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 4: sort of fly in the faces of some of those

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: ethical issues.

64
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, all right, well, look, it's amazing how it happened.

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: I mean, all of a sudden he's acting as the

66
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Prime Minister in Canberra. Finally, though, Eliza, can you just

67
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: confirm for us whether or not he and Michael McCormack

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: decided the leadership of the Nationals by riding a mechanical

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: bull at the Western Bar in Canberra.

70
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: I think that would have been a better way to

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 4: decide it. To be honest, it'd be good.

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, would Channel nine coverage if that was the case,

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: because I'm going to host it. I want to host it.

74
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I just think that's how we should do in politics.

75
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: What's that any wants a vote? Just check a few

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: blogs on a bull and go. Last one is standing,

77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: you're the PM. Whatever.

78
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah for a Mexican standoff, Maybe.

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: Mexican stand up could work. Mexican stand up. We'll keep talking.

80
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: Don't give him your contact details.

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: Get out of you well you can.
