Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right do us, Frady we go Steve Price, very good
morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good no doubt.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Now when we last talked about it, of course there
was divorced time. And now where are we out with
the Libs and the Gnats.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, it split lasted, not overnight really, I mean two
or three days and they were back together. They had
to do that. The Liberal Party were just floating along them,
were about to disappear and without their coalition partners, Thents,
they're nothing. So they're back together and the new Liberal leader,
Susan Lee, will probably announce her shadow cabinet this week
(00:33):
now that obviously is going to be minus Peter Dutton
who lost his seat. And so this is a battle
between the Conservatives which were aligned to Peter Dutton and
the Moderates which are aligned to Susan Lee. So we'll
see who gets punished and who doesn't. There's going to
be a mix. You would think the Gnats must have extracted,
you would reckon Micah Price out of negotiating to get
(00:56):
the coalition back together. So it'd be interesting to see
what front bench seats they get. The recriminations on the
election loss continues during Australian at the weekend, suggesting that
the President of the Liberal Party, John Olson, actually went
to Andrew Hurst, who was running the Liberals campaign, on
election night and said, hang on a minute. You told
me three days ago that the swing was on, that
(01:20):
Peter Dutton was safe in his own seat, and that
we were going to pick up ten labor seats. What
the hell happened? So clearly the campaign and the polling
in particular just fell over and it was hopeless. I
should point out the Melbourne Sea of Goldstein. Even though
a blow called Tim Wilsoner used to hold it get
he lost it to a pel He looks like getting
(01:41):
that back, but she won't conceive he's in front. Well
since finished.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, but see here's the why doesn't she the hear
of the rules? Because I was following this with a
great deal of interest on Friday because it kept moving.
At one point it was down to seven votes and
I thought, anyway, so he's got it by two sixty,
and the rules are if it's one hundred or less,
it's a recount, fair enough, it's too sixty, not one
hundred or less.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
She loses yep, And the AEC is showing the Electric
Commission will be the ones who make that decision. They'll
make that decision quite quickly. She's going to look pretty
silly if they say, well, bad luck, he's got enough
votes in front, didn't continue to hold the seat. You
can just bad luck. Obviously, she's obviously suggesting, and you
(02:21):
know it's almost actionable for Tim Wilson. She's trying to
suggest someone's cheating and that some of these votes have
been incorrectly counted, so the scrutinies will have to go
back over it. But I don't think there'll be a recount.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
He'll to be fair and once again, and watching it Friday,
I did think to myself because the way the votes
moved and the preferences and stuff like that. One it's
a complicated system too. It seems to take a ridiculous
amount of time. I mean, this was weeks ago the election.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, and these votes that you're talking of are mainly
postal votes people who live in that area, who travel.
I mean, these could be votes in an envelope that
have been sent from London or somewhere in Europe where
there's a vote both open for Australians to vote who
are not in the country. That's why it take so long.
But it's a crazy system and we're never going to
reform it. No one's going to put their hand up
and say let's get rid of preferential burning, let's go
(03:10):
first parts hosts. They should do that, but it won't happen.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
As well as I know Melbourne, I thought I knew it. Well,
where's the shopping center? I couldn't work out where it was.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Poor Northland is in the northern suburbs. Westfield has shopping
center called Chadston. It's got one called Southland. That's got
one called north Land. Now, apparently yesterday two gangs of
young males decided that they would gather in the food
court and take each other on, armed with machetes. The
shopping cenate went into excuse me, into lockdown. Security shutters
(03:42):
down on most of the retail stores. As these blokes
ran around wielding these long, sharp edged machete knives. There
was a ten person brawl. One of them was a
fifteen year old boy. The police Superintendent Kelly Lawson said
it was a planned to meet up between opposing groups
to have a fight. Now. The reason I raise this
(04:04):
and no one wants to see that happen. The state
government has decided to ban the sale of machetes. Now.
They put that through in legislation about a month ago,
but it takes until September until this becomes law. So
if you're a machetee shop seller, like you know, a
Mine to ten or something, you don't have to take
(04:25):
these things off the shelf until September. I just don't
understand the delay. And when you see fifteen year olds
running around trying to kill each other, you would think
we could perhaps bring the machete ban forward to look
quicker than what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Is there outrage when that sort of thing happens, Because
you've talked many times before about Melbourne Victoria generally being
a problem crime wise. I mean when the sort of
madness happens to people go nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, the people in the shopping center do, but the
rest of the community seems to get on with life.
But I mean it is very confronting. I mean, you've
seen that TV vision of the blog running down Chapel
Street where we live, and I'm in the city with
a machine. I mean, it only takes you to look
someone in the either wrong way or in my case,
(05:09):
be stupid enough to make a verbal remark you get
your arm chopped off.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Unreal. Hey, the flooding in New South Wales and just
reading over the weekend, the one particular person thirty five
thousand dollars after last time they said, sure, if you
want to ensure your place, that'll be thirty five thousand
dollars premium. So of course obviously they can't afford it,
so they're not getting This has become seemingly a real issue,
hasn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, it has. And you know we had the twenty
twenty one floods in Lismar, which was further north this done.
It was tarid, The amount of water that came down
places like the Mounting River was extraordinary and people simply
can't afford to ensure. And so when you get all
that water through your shop, in particular a retail shop.
There was pictures of the people in Tarre on Friday
(05:53):
that basically they had to empty all of the stock
in the shop. Think about a little retailer, I don't
know what selling whatever, They had to empty all of
their stock out on the street, everything spoiled, and then
they had to start sweeping with brooms mud out of
their store. That's all of that stock could be worth
hundred grand. They're gone and you can't and you can't
claim it on the train.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
But you can kind of track though, aren't you. Because
if you're in a flood prone area and you can't
ensure yourself and you know it's going to happen again,
what do you do?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Nothing you can do, and that insurance question. Obviously the
insurance company's then spread the load around, so everybody in
Australia's insurance all of a sudden goes up.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Are we happy about Oscar? I thought Oscar. Oscar gave
me the vibe, not this weekend but generally that he's
going all the way. But you got pipped this morning
by his mate.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Well, he started third, started third and finished third. I mean,
Monaco is a beautiful place to watch F one on
television because it's so spectacular, but it's a dreadful racetrack
because no one can pass anybody. So the two McLaren's
were the quickest car, separated by one Ferrari and nice
to see Liam Lawson get some point exactly, But it's
(07:04):
not one of those races that you sit and watch
thinking that someone's going to come from fourth and win
the race. Max for stepping a bit the most frustrated
bloke on the planet today.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, exactly, all right mate, go Wendsay go well see Wednesday.
Appreciate it very much. For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast,
listen live to news talks it'd be from six am weekdays,
