Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's ten to ten five double a on a Friday morning.
This story about the imputed rent that homeowners may be
forced to pay. Now, it's only a thought bubble at
the moment by two economists, but you can bet the
government will listening all ears as they try to find
more ways to generate money. And we're not going to
have time to take the matter. You're more than welcome
(00:21):
to ring up and talk about it, but we will
certainly look at My producer Sam Dado, will pursue the
matter and early next week we will speak to someone
in authority to find out exactly what this rent imputation imputated,
imputed rent. I don't know anyway. It just means that
(00:42):
those homemanners could be paying out of their pockets. Attacks
A double two to three double doublo is the number
to ring. As we always do on a Friday morning,
we take a look at the week in essay politics
and joining us as the Advertisers editor at large. Paul Starrek, Paul,
good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Good morning now.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I believe you've just ducked out of the Australia America Dialogue.
What are the hell's all that about? It's sprung up
out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
So this is the Australian American Leadership Dialogue. It's the
first time that these high powered talks have ever been
in South Australia. It's essentially a closed door meeting, a
series of panels and discussions. The most prominent public aspect
of it has been a US congressional delegation that's been
(01:29):
that have left today, but they've spent the past previous
few days touring around Adelaide, in particular down at Osborne
Naval Shipyard ORCAST has been a key topic of discussion
the Orchestra Security Pact in the Australia at the Adelaide
based nuclear powered submarine build as part of that. In particular,
(01:49):
this congressional nation went down Wednesday. They expressed a press
conference with Premier Peter Manlawska's great confidence that that deck
would go ahead despite the ORCUST review that's been initiated
by the Trump administration. That review, which is expected to
(02:09):
report almost within weeks really it's expected to report in
the US for all our spring that's looking at the
ORCUST packs alignment with Presidents Trump's America First Agenda, and
there seems to be the expectation that Australia will have
to cough up a bit more, perhaps in say the
(02:30):
form of critical minerals or who knows quite exactly what.
But there's great uncertainty about the future of particularly the
transfer of Virginia class submarines to Australia under that. So
the most prominent and the reason it's here is because
of the aucust packed and particularly Adelaide being at the
(02:54):
center of the UCAST pact with what is the biggest
project in Australian history, the three sixty eight billion nuclear
powered submarine construction out at Osborne, and we're going down
there on Wednesday. I've been going down to Osborne for
an asc for more than thirty years. There's real activity
(03:17):
down there on builing that nuclear ship, but it's really noticeable.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That's certainly as a positive look if we can leave
the orcus American dialogue Australia dialogue for a moment, the
algal crisis is certainly not going away anytime soon. How
do you assess the way the Premier has been handling it.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I think what he's been keen to do is demonstrate
activity and demonstrate preparation. I think there's probably an acceptance
or an understanding among the public that this is sort
of you know, it's a natural event and it's beyond
his control. But what I think there's anger about is
(03:57):
that something wasn't done quickly enough, and so he's scrambling
to play catch up. Really, and the prospect of a
summer where marine life is dead, marine life's washing up
on beaches would horrify him. He knows full well what
(04:17):
can happen when events hit an incumbent leader months out
from a state election, because that's what happened to him
with him when Covid entered the state for the first time.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well, this is you know, this is certainly the wild card,
isn't it, because you know, go back six months and
it was all plain sailing that we had a very
weak opposition, you know, change in leadership. Vincentazia had a
lot of ground to make up. The premier was seen
as a night in shining armor, and all of a sudden,
there's a chink or two in the armor.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's right, And you know, I think partly it's because
things happened while he was on holiday and exposed his
front bench and showed that it be to which the
government is reliant on the premiere and his communication ability
in his assertiveness, and I don't think anyone would deny
(05:14):
him the opportunity to take a holiday with his family, but.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
The timing probably was away from him.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's right exactly. Events got away from him. I think,
I said before, I was on holiday at the same
time and we went to Melbourne to watch the Crows v.
Bulldogs game, and it really struck me when we got
back We're gone for about a week, just how much
things had changed, shouting the apple bloom it was, and
(05:45):
the appetite for something to happen and for the government
to be seen to be doing something, and they really
caught flat footed. I think at a state and federal.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well, Murray Watt has been battered around the head and
deservedly so. Over the last few days. He seems to
be more of a life ability than an I said
to State Labor.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I think he's really am stung here. I think that
Anthony Abernezi hasn't taken it seriously enough. I think that
the charge against him, in particular about if it was
happening on Sydney Beaches is absolutely correct. That people would
be taking his government would be taking a lot more
notice if ted marine life was washing up on Bondai
(06:26):
or Manly Beaches or under the Harbor Bridge. You know
it's and it does show even though we have four cabinet,
very senior cabinet ministers from this state, we don't have
marginal seeds that are worth him getting after. So it
(06:47):
shows the lack of how our electoral clout has diminished
federally because of the lack of those marginal seeds. When
I went to Quick Camber as Colory twenty year, twenty
plus years ago, South Australia had more senior cabinet ministers,
five marginal seats were a real electoral battleground. That's not
(07:08):
the case anymore now. I know.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You've got to get back into the forum. One final
question David Spear's front page News. Is there any chance
that he'll get back into politics, get back into the
seed of black I think there is.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
As we were saying earlier in the week, people can
have their views on whether or not it's appropriate that
someone who's been convicted, a convicted cocaine supplier, and the
various issues around that one is eligible to contest politics.
There's to be a candidate, there's a legal issue potentially
(07:47):
around that, but also, you know, that's really up to
voters to judge whether or not that's okay. But then
there's the electoral question. He does seem to be have
this sort of extra ordinary popularity in his electorate, so
it wouldn't surprise me at all if he stood as
(08:07):
an independent and was able to do so. And then
the question does a real challenge for the Liberal Party
where do they put their preferences. Do they preference him
or not? I don't know. Yeah, that's right, and I
know others disagree with me on the way, you know,
(08:30):
the way he's been talking, has done a lot of radio.
Had a really good interview with him on Fire Double
A he on whether he's sort of in the mentally
in the right space. And Biel's years to contest. But
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he comes back
from his kakoda walk, as major parties expect, and declares
(08:51):
his candidacy's at some stage within the next couple of months.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Well soon, though, Paul, great to chat. Thanks for your time.
I'll speak next week.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Thanks very much.
