MINI: Trump Tower

Christian O'Connell and the team dive into the latest news, discussing Trump's plans to build a mega tower in Australia. They poke fun at the idea, imagining what kind of people would want to see a golden Trump tower on the Gold Coast. The team wonders if Trump will use Australian or American labor for the project, and if it'll be a giant wall instead. They also discuss the current tallest building in Australia, the Q1, and how a new Trump tower might compare.

the dial.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
You know, not the movie arm again and now they
bring in their own American American or is he is

Well, yes, already already, Patsy, I see trouble ahead here.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
They still don't have counsel approval either, so that it's
again I don't think he worries a lot about perman building.

He's not missed bureaucracy. Just build it to ninety one towers.

Speaker 2 (02:52):

Gold Coast.

two centimeters?

and forty meters, So how tall is that other one?
Q one three hundred and twenty So it's twenty meters high,
which is still pretty significant.

Speaker 1 (03:27):

something giant because Australia loves giant things, does it need
