He was being advised 51 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 3: strongly not to have debates. All of the media was 52 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 3: advising him not to have debates because you know, Trump 53 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: lies so much and it's all fake news and whatnot, 54 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 3: and you're only giving him off oxygen if you debate him. 55 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: That was their line, which I thought was a bit 56 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: of a copy out. 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Well, I would say that anybody that's not prepared to 58 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: debate their opponent in the lead into an election, it 59 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: is a cop out. 60 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: It was very questionable where they would have debates, but 61 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: it's good to see they have, and in some regards 62 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 3: it will frame the election because you know, so much 63 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: of the media, the commentary and that sort of stuff 64 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: has been dominated by Trump derangement syndrome, and in a debate, 65 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: people actually have to start talking policy and direction. And 66 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: I think these debates will start to show the golf 67 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: of the divide between the Democrats public policy and the Republicans. 68 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: And there is a gulf of divide, really, and you 69 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: haven't heard much about that because you know, the fitness 70 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: of Trump to be in the office is really all 71 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: that's dominated the debate. 72 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: What are you thinking is going to happen, Hailey, I mean, 73 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be a really interesting race, I think 74 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: to whoever ends up president, whether it's whether Donald Trump 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: stays in the position, or whether Sleepy Joe takes over. 76 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 5: I heard an interesting comment, and I was mentioning to 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: Dave when we were coming in that some commentator over 78 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 5: there said, look, we believe that Joe Biden will understand 79 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 5: the questions, but we're not sure whether you'll understand his answers. 80 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 4: So Sleepy Joe. 81 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 5: It's a pretty sad state of affairs when you know, 82 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 5: a population of three hundred and thirty million can only 83 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 5: come up with Donald Trump and Sleepy Joe. 84 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: You know, this is the interesting thing that I kind 85 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: of think to myself is that, And you know, I 86 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: know Dave that you luck you obviously have your views 87 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: on Donald Trump, and everybody's got different opinions, whether you 88 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: think he's great or think he does a terrible job. 89 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: But I'm of the view like I'm actually surprised that 90 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: the best you can come up with is Joe Biden. 91 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: On the other side as well, like I sort of think, 92 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: surely there's more people putting their putting their hands up, 93 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: and surely there's a younger generation wanting to come up 94 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: through the ranks. And I'm not being ages here, but 95 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: he's already sort of identified that he if he was 96 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: to win, that he would only stay in there for 97 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: that one turn. 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: Look to me, I just look at the golf in 99 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: the difference of views, and there really is such a golf. 100 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,559 Speaker 3: You know, you've got on one hand, you've got Donald 101 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 3: Trump with his massive tax cuts, his efforts to lower 102 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: the price of energy and exploiting those gas resources that 103 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 3: they have in the US, a whole range of different 104 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: things like that. Obviously, he's the absolute antithesis of political correctness. 105 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 3: He makes that one of his centerpieces, the fact that 106 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 3: it will say anything, do anything, and doesn't really care. 107 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 3: I think that's sort of appreciated by a lot of people. 108 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: And then you have a look at the other side, 109 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: the Democrats, who almost are the exact whole or opposite 110 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 3: of Donald Trump. You know, they've got a policy to 111 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: pull up most of the gas pipelines in the US. 112 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: You know they're going to be back there in the 113 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: Paris Accord quicker than you can blink. They're going to 114 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: increase taxes, very similar to Bill Shorten's last election campaign. 115 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 3: You know, this idea of increasing taxes, increasing the level 116 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: of health cover across the US, all of that sort 117 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: of stuff. So there really is a massive divide in 118 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: what they both steen for, and I. 119 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: Think Biden too. 120 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 5: It plays into that Trump narrative around the establishment, and 121 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 5: having a senator of forty years standing. 122 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 4: Gives Trump plenty of ammunition. 123 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 5: I think that today in the debate, he will be 124 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 5: highlighting the fact that Joe, you know, what have you 125 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 5: done in forty years as a senator? Admittedly he was 126 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 5: a solid vice president for eight years under Obama, but 127 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 5: it'll play into the narrative of Trump will be attacking 128 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 5: the establishment, in the taxi establishment through his Twitter at 129 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 5: camp most of the times. 130 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: He was on a tear on Twitter the other day, 131 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: and his. 132 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 5: Contempt he has for the media, and he'll run you know, 133 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 5: the days of walking out the front and doing doorstop 134 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 5: after doorstop. Well, when it comes to Donald Trump, he 135 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 5: doesn't do that. He'll leave the media sitting outside and say, well, 136 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 5: why will I come and talk to you, because you'll 137 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 5: only report what you want to report to make me 138 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 5: look bad, and you won't. 139 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: Report the good story. 140 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 5: So I think the candidate the Democrats have got plays 141 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 5: into that narrative. 142 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: That he will really go on about this establish the. 143 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: Other problem too, Alien I don't sort of want to 144 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: focus on you go side too much. But you know, 145 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: where you look across the world, the left wing political 146 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: parties are in enormous turmoil at the moment.

We see it happening in labor in Australia. 152 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: You know that the arguments that they're having internally Joel 153 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: fits given and and the lean mob, you know, Labour's 154 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: environmental arm you know, are going toe to toe, hammer 155 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: and tongs constantly.

And Donald Trump was not 181 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: having a bar of it on Twitter throughout the week. He, 182 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: like I said, went on a bit of a tear, 183 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: and he said, the fake news media, just like election 184 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: time twenty sixteen, is bringing up my taxes and all 185 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information and only 186 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: bad intent. I paid many millions of dollars in taxes, 187 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: but was entitled like everyone else to depreciation and tax credits. 188 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: He went on and said, also, if you look at 189 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: the extraordinary assets owned by me, which the fake news hasn't, 190 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm extremely underleveraged. I have very little debt compared to 191 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: the value of assets. Much of this information is already 192 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: on file, but I have long said that I may 193 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: release financial statements from the time that I announced I 194 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: was going to run for president, looking goes on and 195 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: on Twitter, which. 196 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 4: Which you know, I suppose. 197 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: The thing that I find quite surprising about at all 198 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: is we've actually, you know, we're talking about the working class, 199 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: and you're talking about the working class maybe not being 200 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: as well represented not only overseas but also I guess 201 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: here in Australia as well as we might like. But 202 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: you know, we're also then talking about to what seems 203 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: like two quite wealthy men, you know, fighting it out. 204 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: Obviously they're hardly the working class. 205 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: Politics politician politics has never been the industry for people 206 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: who are wildly wealthy. 207 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 5: But you would expect to someone who you'd expect a 208 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 5: Republican president to be pretty well healed, like you'd expect 209 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: a Liberal Party president or Prime minister to have a 210 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 5: little bit of money in the bank. 211 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 4: I don't have a problem. I remember there was a 212 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 4: big debate about. 213 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 5: Joe Hockey's portfolio of houses, and at the time I said, well, 214 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 5: he's a liberal member of parliament. I'd expect a liberal 215 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 5: to houses. That's sort of that's why of the things 216 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 5: that they like to do. What I get upset about 217 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 5: was when I see a labor person who says they're 218 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 5: a labor person that's collecting houses as well, I sort 219 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 5: of say, well, that's sort of probably a little bit 220 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 5: against the grain of what I would expect a labor person, 221 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 5: I mean. 222 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 4: Some to do. 223 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: So don't we actually like, I don't feel like, don't 224 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: we actually want our Polleyes to be you know, to 225 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: be performing well in their personal life or in there 226 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: when you talk about their own sort of you know 227 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: what they do, I guess in their own professional careers 228 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: before politics. 229 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 4: Well, I'm fascinated with this tax debate in the US. 230 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 5: Like their economy is about twenty two trillion dollars yep, 231 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 5: ours is about what one point three trillion. It's a 232 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 5: massive it's a massive economy, but they've also got half 233 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 5: that again in offshore. They're offshore economy of people that 234 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 5: have put money into tax havens and that are business 235 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 5: people in the US. Tax evasion in the US is 236 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 5: probably something they teach at school because everyone's doing it 237 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 5: and I remember the famous thing with Kerry Packer. Remember 238 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 5: when he said he paid seven hundred dollars tax. He's 239 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 5: probably got all his outgoings are all connected to his business. 240 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 5: He's paying himself fifty grand a year, takes his thousand 241 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 5: bucks a week, and that's the tax that he pays. Well, 242 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 5: that's the way these guys set their businesses up. So 243 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 5: you know, in America, there's. 244 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: An argument too, is why would I give you more 245 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 3: more of my money? He says, you don't seem to 246 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: be doing a very good job with a countenance. 247 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: And the rest of us. 248 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: That I was going to say, then the rest of 249 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: us for buggers, Well we are. We're all paying our taxes. 250 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: That's the argument. 251 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 5: See the government come out and announce billions of dollars 252 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 5: for further stimulus. And you think, you know, if you're 253 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 5: a middle class person or somebody who's just in the 254 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 5: sitting there and you go to work, you work, you're 255 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 5: thirty eight hours a week and you're on your eighty 256 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 5: or ninety thousand a year, you're paying forty two or 257 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 5: thirty seven cents in every dollar and the heavy. 258 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 4: Lifting will be done by this. 259 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: But I think he's a sad part of what politics 260 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 3: has devolved into. It's become much more personal than it 261 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 3: ever was. I mean, we any of playing the men 262 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: all the time. You know, everyone will talk about sleepy 263 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: Joe and how he can't string tw these sentences together, 264 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: and and. 265 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: How how Donald Trumps to see Donald. 266 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 3: Trump's of such a vile person and doesn't care what 267 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: he says, and all of that sort of stuff. But 268 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 3: the real guts of it, you know, the real meat 269 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 3: of it, is actually what they both stead for and 270 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 3: what they both are going to deliver. And you've got 271 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: to give it to Trump, He's got a pretty good 272 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 3: track record, you know, of delivering, you know, of doing 273 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: what he said he's going to do. 274 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 6: And well, but the point is, look in regards to 275 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 6: some issues, the point is this is this is what 276 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 6: in my view, people should be focusing on, is what 277 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 6: what his policies, whether they're achievable, what, well, firstly what 278 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 6: they are, whether they're. 279 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 3: Achievable, and whether the person has committed enough to deliver 280 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 3: on what they say they're going to do. And you know, 281 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: those sort of things that have mad are important, not 282 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: whether the guy you know, gretes women all that. 283 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: Sort of stuff.

It's really been interesting 360 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: to see the way that this has all played out, 361 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: and obviously the Health minister standing down, I'll. 362 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 2: Tell you what's going to be interesting. 363 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: I'm dead keen to how highly tries to defend the indefensible. 364 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: So take it away, a big fellow. 365 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 5: Well, I think there's a raft of problems here and 366 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 5: wherever you allow the privatization of a health issue, and 367 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 5: we've seen it in age care as well. 368 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: It's the same things happened. 369 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 5: How it's spread through age care because where you've got 370 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 5: age care facilities that are driven by profits and not 371 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 5: through looking after people properly, and they're having casual staff, 372 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 5: moving casual staff amongst different age care facilities, you're going 373 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 5: to get problems. And what we've seen with the hotel 374 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 5: quarantining bringing in people from overseas should have been alarm 375 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 5: bells that these people were coming back many of them 376 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 5: could be infected, but yet they had they put out 377 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 5: the security to these to look after these people, to 378 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 5: private suppliers that had people that weren't even trained properly. 379 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 4: In doing this job. 380 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: No one's repeated to sort of put their hand up 381 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: and say who made that decision? 382 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: From what I understand, it was an indigenous organization, so 383 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 3: it sort of fit neatly into that procurement requirements because 384 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 3: they didn't actually have their licenses and all of that 385 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: sort of stuff which were fast tracked for them in 386 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: order to do that contract. 387 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: So that's in Victoria. 388 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: In Victoria, Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you've got these but 389 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 3: you know, look, I mean talk about dissembling. I mean, 390 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 3: the fact of the matter is you've got a government 391 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 3: now that's probably past the most stringent industrial manslaughter laws 392 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 3: in the world that apply across the board, whether you're 393 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 3: in government business to anyone, and all of a sudden 394 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 3: you're finding, surprise, surprise, no one is taking responsibility anywhere. 395 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 3: There's not a soul putting the hand up and saying 396 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 3: I made the decision. The reason for that is that 397 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 3: the very next step is that work Safe will step 398 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 3: in and start making prosecutions. You cannot kill almost eight 399 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: hundred people and walk away. I mean, if that happened 400 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 3: at a BEHP site, for instance, you'd never hear the 401 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 3: end of it. I mean Reo Tinta course blew up 402 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 3: that those caves in Western Australia, the CEO and others 403 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 3: was gone. They're gone now. I mean that is absolutely 404 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 3: small beer in comparison to what's occurred in Victoria. So 405 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 3: it's unsurprising that there's people put in their hands that 406 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 3: there aren't more people putting their hands up for sixteen 407 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 3: years Jarl in Victoria. The other interesting thing about their 408 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 3: laws is that they were copied by Western Australia. West 409 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: Australia now are scrambling to change those laws to make 410 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: politicians and public servants exempt from industrial manslaughter laws because 411 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 3: it's going to catch up with them. And I suppose 412 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 3: the big question that everybody's waiting to see answered is 413 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 3: what is work Safe in Victoria going to do about 414 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 3: the premiere all of the ministers in that government who 415 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: had some sort of responsibility and all the public servants 416 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 3: who were involved in that fiasco. 417 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: And we can sit there and we can. 418 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 3: Talk about, oh, was this reason that it was private 419 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 3: sector people involved in rather than public service people involved 420 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 3: but that doesn't wash. 421 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 2: The fact is. 422 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 5: I was saying that it's coming out that people weren't 423 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 5: given adequate training in doing the job that they were doing. 424 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 3: Shoehorned into the job this particular company Victoria. 425 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 5: And the question has been asked, why wasn't either the 426 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 5: military or the police, And the police have obviously got 427 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 5: other issues going on with curfews and shutdowns and all 428 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 5: that stuff, but then. 429 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just should have been. 430 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: It's an absolute debarkle, There's no doubt about it. 431 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: Is. 432 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: The reason they're all duck and for cover is because 433 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: of these industrial menslaughter laws that they've enacted in Victoria, 434 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 3: and it's going to come back and bite a lot 435 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 3: of them and it will just be interesting to see 436 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 3: what happens. 437 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you what, it's always an interesting morning 438 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: with you two in the studio.
