00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: And today we did learn that the government was concerned

64
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: the state of Victoria's it might be a problem for

65
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,560

00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: one of those craters that are everywhere.

72
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: That is incredible.

75
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: the movie Cruise. They sent repair Cruise here ahead of

76
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: time to fix the potholes.

77
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: You can imagine currently working through Liam Neeson is coming
