Speaker 1 (00:00):
To Australia. We go see price. Very good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yes, my daughter's in Paris for the Olympics. Got into
a restaurant you could never get into otherwise because Paris,
according to the owners of the place, is empty.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
As you said, isn't that amazing? The time to go
and visit the most visited city in the world is
the Olympic Games time. That's funny, old.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Stand, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
And it's always handy when you got two hundred euros
from your old man to pay for dinner.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well there you go, you sair. How old is she
if you don't need twenty seven? Yeah, it's a difficult.
Our oldest is twenty five. And it's that's still we're
still into that. You know, when does it end? When
do we never end? Does it never end?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Thanks for that, so elbows. Still on the business of
the Indigenous Australia. What's his promise?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
He went up to the Garma Festival, which is held
each year in the Anum Land in the Northern Territory,
and he said that even though the Voice referendum was lost,
the focus that his government would be marking. These are
his words, a path forward to break through the ashes
of the failed Voice referendum and economically support Indigenous Australians.
(01:11):
He went on to say that he remained committed to Macarata,
which is a treaty, and committed to truth telling processes
being undertaken by the state governments right around the country.
And then he flushed out twenty million dollars to build
the Gama Institute, which will be a tertiary education and
vocational center established in East.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Artam Land, to be own and run by the Old
New people.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So he was there at the weekend this time last
year is promising. Of course the voice would get up.
The voice didn't get up, and he now doesn't have
a lot left to do for Indigenous Australians and continues
to avoid Alice Springs where there are still very large
social problems involving.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Out exactly where is he winning on this or losing
on this politically with the rest of Australia.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Big time on most of Australia. And look, it's just
ingrained in what he believes and thinks, and if he
can do some good for Indigenous people, great, but I
don't know that throwing twenty million.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Dollars at a building in remote.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Arnum Land is going to do too much for the
people living in creek beds outside Olla Springs, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No exactly. And so where does that leave them in
the polls?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, his polling is pretty much fifty to fifty still.
But the big poll shocked today is in Victoria where
our friend Daniel Andrews of course no longer premier, taken
over by it just Cinder Allen and she's now in charge.
And the poll out today shows that the ALP is
on primary voter thirty one coalition forty two part he preferred,
(02:43):
it's fifty to fifty. That's the first time in seven
years that the coalition have had their nose in front.
And it's all being driven by what you and I've
talked about in the past, that Victoria's broke. They've got
a massive debt. They keep plowing money into this infrastructure
projects going to be finished and yet at the same
time they've got to cut things like health. And this
(03:04):
pole has been taken just after a range of health
cuts to all of the hospitals were announced, and also
just after the shop scandal about the CFMU became public.
So there's no election till next year, and if Labor
were to win that election, it would be a full
time at four times in a row that they've won.
I think people are sick of the Labor government here.
(03:25):
The only problem is that the coalition leadership is pretty weak,
and still they are arguing about whether they even replace
their leader. But that poll's a big shop for most people.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, and to give that some way, correct me if
I'm wrong, But the last election, particularly that the opposition
had been a shambles for years, and that state hints
at least part of the success of the Labor Party
has been the fact that the opposition is non existent.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, correct, and ten years of swapping leaders they've had
four in ten years. I think the current bloke's pretty unimpressive. Still,
there was even speculation at the weekend for this poll
came out that they might again top him and put
someone else in. So they're not winning because they are
particularly good. They're winning because Labor is particularly bad.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
What are these gambling lules for advertising on television? What
are the changes?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well, the government wants to do this, whether they'll get
away with doing it or not, go to cabinet when
Parliament resimes in a couple of weeks time, but gambling
ads will stay on television. But what they Labor Party
is proposing is a cap I don't know how you'd
go with these gambling ads in New Zealand, a gap
of a cap of two gambling ads an hour on
(04:33):
each channel up until ten pm. After that it's a
free for all and they're going to ban ads an
hour before and after live sport. So this is very
controversial because the gambling industry obviously tips a huge amount
of money into the media in this country. Labour wants
a blanket ban on betting ads on social media and
(04:54):
other digital platforms and that is going to send the
gambling sectors crazy. Details of the Communication Minister's plans which
will go to Cabinet are subject to change, but that's
what the leak is saying.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
They want to do a couple of quick things. If
you don't mind, I'm reading over the weekend. Rex has
got hope the administrators saying there's a whole bunch of
people wringing them up with interest. So is their hope
theyre or not.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
If they stick to the regional roots that they were
most successful on in the past. So what they went
out and did they decided to fly Melbourne, Sydney, Sydney,
Brisbane those roots and they went least a whole bunch
of brand new seven jets workers Quantison and Virgin just
put on more seats. So if they stick to their
knitting and stick to domestic to regional roots, that could
(05:41):
work for them.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yes, okay. And the other one was the Reynolds case started.
This is Higgins, Sharaz, Leom and the whole thing again.
People sick and tired of that, or we still got
some sort of interest in this or not.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, there's interest. The Senator will be up in court
today talking about what happened, what she claims happened to
her reputation, and the reporting of what happened late last
week suggested that she believes that they can Sharaz and Higgins.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
This story about her being ignored.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There was a whole bunch of pictures released at the
weekend showing Britney Higgins on the campaign trail when she
was supposed to be sad and lonely and locked up
in a hotel, and she's out there laughing and handing
out out of boat cards.
