Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
That wasn't us watching the election on Saturday night. We
were watch it on the ABC. I wanted to flick
it over to seven or Sky News, but we're in
a bit of a lefty crowd, so they wouldn't have
any of that.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, every network's going to do a fair coverage. The
result is the result.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
The channel night had the dunk tank. Yeah, remember there was.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Isn't it.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
They put Peter Dutton's face in a dunk tank. And
I saw someone else say, look, they're still humans. These
people have to put themselves out there every day and
they probably saw the writing on the wall and knew
a lot of so many politicians would have known. I
can't win this, but I have to front up anyway.
They're still humans and they're nice people. And what do
you do? But Clive Palmer dunk him. Not a single

(00:43):
seat for Clive Palmer.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
And Clive's going to retire he is too old for politics.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, when did he decide that? Someone was saying to
me how everyone was outraged to get all those teeth
that tweets from him, text from him and all the
money spent on advertising. Ben of mine said, no, let
him spend more money, so when he loses, he's lost
all that money as well.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
He reckons. He makes that in a week.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Doing what I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I don't know. I will say this about this at
a history of Clive, you know the history of Clive.
He looks better now than he did when he was forty.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
He must have looked. He's missaying they're humans thatify.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Them kind over here. But it was all class And
this is what I love about being in Australia. I
thought Anthony Albanezi's I teared up during his victory speech
was very good.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Loved it.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Let us all reflect on what we have in common.
Because no matter who you voted for, no matter where
you live, no matter how you worship or who you love,
whether you belong to a culture that has known and
cared for this great continent for sixty five thousand years,
or you have chosen our nation as your home and

(01:57):
enriched our society with your contribution, we are all Australians.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Peter Dutton's concession speech that was fantastic.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Now, we didn't do well enough during this campaign. That
much is obvious tonight and I accept full responsibility for that.
Earlier on I called the Prime Minister to congratulate him
on his success tonight. It's an historic occasion for the
Labor Party and we recognize that. I congratulated the Prime
Minister and wish Tea and Jody and Nathan all the

(02:31):
very best. And I said to the Prime Minister that
his mum would be incredibly proud of his achievement tonight,
and he should be very proud of what he's achieved.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
We were so human and a lot of people have
said where was that Peter Dutton during the campaign, because
you could respond to him as a human, as a
lovely fan.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
When he came in the studio, we were charmed by him.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Ali France, who has won the seat that Peter Dutton lost.
He lost his own seat, which means he's no longer
a member of parliament. He's no longer a politician. But
Ali France's story is quite extraordinary. She's been campaigning since
the twenty nineteen federal election for this seat, and the
more I read about her, the more extraordinary she is.
She had no idea that she wanted a career in politics,

(03:13):
hadn't pushed for any of that. Then she had an
accident she was pinned by a car in twenty eleven
and lost her leg above the knee.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
No, she's paralympian. She was unable to walk for more
than two years and found comfort in a new sport,
outrigger canoeing. But during this process for her, she saw
a need for greater NDIS support, disability support, the cost
of health care, all that kind of stuff. She suddenly thought,
I think I need to go into politics. How hard

(03:41):
for her Her husband died with cancer twenty twenty three,
and just last year she lost her nineteen year old
son Henry to leukemia. And so this is a woman
who's done the hard yards, is doing the hard year.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
These are the people when I say the dopes that
run this country, these are the people you want running
the country.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, someone, as she said, she has she sees the
world through the lens of knowing how hard it can
be and how she can help people.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
What I took away from also watching the Prime Minister's
victory speech is and this is what separates us from
America is what he said here.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
A short time ago I spoke with Peter Dutton, who
has of course conceited defeat and I thank Jim No.
I know what we do in Australia is we treat
people with respect.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I must say.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
On Sunday morning, the sun was shining and I walked
around and I thought, I am proud to be Australian.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Right now, it's gonna be akay
