Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation and he's the leader of the opposition,
and on Saturday, Peter Dutton, along with the rest of Australia,
will learn who will be the new PM. We've never
met before. Peter Dutton high with you.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Thanks Jones. That's nice to see in our orbits. You've
never come into our orbits.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No, I don't know why, but I guess the next
thing you'd say is looking much younger in person. And
you know what better looking? You'd say, yeah, your moisture.
I wish it with the case. Look, I wish it
were the case, especially as part of the campaign. I
think it runs bugged and exhausted and looking there worse.
So I think the strains will be happy when the
(00:38):
voting's over and done with and they can get back
to their lives.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Is there a part of you that thinks, look, I
just don't care anymore, just let Sunday roll around. I'm
just over it.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I think probably the opposite. I mean, it's there's a
lot at stake at this election. I think as we've
moved around the country and you know we'll move through
New South Wales today, just the number of families who
are really struggling doing it tough people who just can't
afford to renew their insurance on the car, you know,
pulling kids out of low fee paying schools, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
There's a lot of pain out there at the moment.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
So I think there's a lot too, a lot at
stake at this election and a lot to play for.
So we're foot flight to the floor for the next week.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
And did you learn good things from the debate last night?
Anthony Alberanezi apparently beat you in the debate. Did you
come away from that thing? Okay, this is what I've
got to do.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I felt pretty good coming out of the debate. You
always question the.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Composition, the ordince, where people have come from and what
their views were, et cetera. So I've had good feedback
from the debate, the things that you would go back
and want to change in any speech or debate. But
I guess the main points I made was in relation
to our policy and the twenty five per cent a
leter cut for fuel and the twelve hundred dollars tax rebate.
(01:50):
I think provides support to those families we're just talking
about and gives them help right now. And then we've
got to clean up the mess and get our economy
back on track, try and get inflation down so we
can bring interest rates down as well and give people
some breathing space.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Again.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
This is your first campaign as opposition leader. Have you
enjoyed the campaign? A variety of hard hats, variety of cakes.
What's been the highlight in terms of just how you've
spent a day you learned to weld?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
What was it look?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I think the highlights so far was up in Townsville
at the RSL and ANZAC day with the diggers up
there and just you know, young people who were wanting
selfies or to say good ay or whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But they have an enormous.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Pride in our country and it's humbling when you're standing
there with them, and whether they're young or older, diggers, etc.
You're reminding yourself of the fact that you know, these
people are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep
us safe as a country for me and for our
kids and grandkids in time whatever. They're prepared to trade
their lives to keep us in the life that we've
(02:51):
become accustomed to. And it it's pretty humbling spending time
with them. So I think that was probably the highlight,
but just be some amazing people, but some really inspiring stories,
but as I say, some really tragic stories as well.
And that's you know, the nature of moving around speaking
to lots of people.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, and now they're part of the campaign. You're a
bit like did you ever see the Blues Brothers movie?
The analogy to the end of the Blues Brothers movie
and the car has gone through and then he just
pulls up in the outside of the thing and just
falls to bits, I think, And that's what it's like.
So this next part of our interview is it's a
segment called Don't Make It Political.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So it's not about politics.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
These are just some rapid fire questions and you just
have to all you have to do is give a
little one word or one sentence answer to speak from
the heart. So we've got an intro for you.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It's time to play Don't make It.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
He wants to turn everything into the game show playing
today is Peter Duck.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Peter likes walks on the beach and wins sur Are
you ready? Yeah you go? And these are just quick, quick,
rapid fire answers.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Do Lulu would no?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
So Lulu Prime Minister, who can't tell a good story
about the last three years.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Welcome to country, respectful but overdone. Donald Donald Trump, Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Donald Trump is a disruptor and we've got to stand
up for our country's interests. And that's exactly what I
would do as Prime Minister.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Would you get him on the phone? Yes, and would
you stand up to him?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And I've dealt with the Biden administration, the Obama administration
and Trump administration. Mark one always stood up for our
country's best interests and always got very good outcomes for
our country as well as Defense Minister and as Home
Affairs minister.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Could we get him on the phone?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Limp?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Now, have you got his number? I haven't got his number.
That would be so cool.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So neither it's a or the Prime Minister doesn't believe
he's got a phone, which is quite.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
What Donald Trump doesn't have a phonephoors his tweets appear on.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
How about this one backflips.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Appropriate.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
If you have made a mistake, you should own up
to it and fess up to it and and own it.
And you make mistakes that it's here, I mean, all
of us a human in this job. And if you
want to be arrogant and pretend you haven't made a
mistake and just continue to dig deeper.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
All good luck, but that's not what I do.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well well done, Peter Dutton, well done, Thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And what's your form of democracy? Sausage? What will you
be eating on Saturday?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I normally go a bit of barbecue, sauce and onions.
I like onions. Well done, and that'll be the money
shot the media after it's Bill short and work out
which angle upside down, back to Frank and down in
front of the shirt.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It can all go wrong.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
It was Bill's running style and he's sausage eating them
bought him underne spare that in mind for this week.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
No man boobshot. So Bill would say to all of.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Us, Bill sitting and come on, Peter, best of luck
on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Thank you guys very much with me, Thank you and
