Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the Great Debate was on last night and Dakes
has been talking a bit about it in the news,
and it was I watched it and was a bit like,
who have I become? Yeah, well, when you came in
and said you want to talk about it, where you
were like met? But you know it deserves a chat.
It does deserve a chat because I think also because
(00:21):
of what's been going on in America and watching like
the Kamala Harris and Trump, you kind of go, well,
that feels like we're pretending. It feels honestly, it feels
like it felt like we were the high school felt oh, yeah,
we'll do one too. Actually, you know what high school's
even too?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Good?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Like if you can imagine that America is like the
University Debate, It kind of felt like we were the
U sixers having a crack and do they call it
the Great Debate Debate? But it was certainly interesting and
it's a it's an important election that we're heading into now.
The different people are saying, you know who won where
Campbell Newman was saying that he felt its Stephen Miles
(01:00):
won and that's going against his own party. The actual panel,
who were made up of sofi for Micah, who obviously
is in Radio Queensland, Channel Line's Queensland State political editor
Tim Avia, and then the Brisbane Times editor, a guy
called Sean Parnell. They out of their vote, believe that
David Christi fully won the debate, and then all the
(01:24):
different poles are coming in and it's really very even.
And that's how I felt after watching it. Stephen Miles
looked a little bit nervous at the beginning, and then
he kind of had this robot quality I felt, where
he stayed really super calm and quietly spoken, but at
times that almost felt like he was being a bit
sneaky and rude, like that kid whispering at the back
of the class when you know, so we're when when
(01:47):
David Cryslie was speaking, he'd be like, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's a lie.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's a lie, that's a line. It's almost like I
kind of had that feeling of and maybe it's tra
past trauma from being a debter myself. It's just like
you are you sneakily trying to put me off rather
than voraciously trying to put me off, if you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I just there was no surprise that used to debate well.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Of course, Ah David was very strong, he was very passionate,
but probably a bit too much, and he kept on
doing the slogans over and over again. And I think
people just get sick of hearing those slogans, especially when
you're not answering a question, you're answering it with the slogan.
That kind of political game. We're tired of. When we
see through now, they talked about all the stuff that
(02:26):
we need to know about, crime, cost of living, health taxes,
and energy. And you know, Steven Masse began with what
he's done with the fifty cent fares. He's also done
something that I didn't know about and then I looked
into and this is something that's really important before we
go into the next election. He's given two hundred dollars
to all families for kids' sports. Now, if you haven't
(02:47):
heard of that yet, just go online now and you
can apply for it and you can get two hundred
dollars to help you pay for your kids' sports. I
didn't know that existed. I don't know why I didn't
know that, but I'm very exciting. We went, Oh, we
were trying to get my two hundred dollars. So that's
something that he talked about, and he talked about other
things that they've done. Then the big sensational part of
the night was that Tim Avia, the Channel nine State
(03:10):
political editor, kept pushing Chris of Fully to say that
he would resign if he can't bring down crime rates
in Queensland. And it went a bit like this, The
laws were.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Weakened and on the back of it, we've got a
generation of untouchables. And you can't cherry pick little bits
of figures. It's victim numbers that matter. It's the number
of victims Queenslanders who have had their lives ripped apart.
And it was because of a decision by the government
a decade ago to weaken the laws. And my commitment
to Queenslanders is if government changes, we are not going
to Christmas with the same set of laws the making
(03:43):
Queensland safe. The laws will be laws and it's adult crime,
adult time. But we are also serious about early intervention,
gold standard early intervention and rehabilitation with purpose when a
young person leaves prison. We cannot do more of the same.
It's breaking the state.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
David, So, just in front of Queenslanders tonight, you've given
that commitment to resign if you do not achieve that metric,
By what date will you achieve that metric or resign
as Premier?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Tim will be setting targets for fewer victims year on year,
and that is important to me ultimately, And ultimately, if
there aren't fewer victims, Queenslanders would make their own assessment
on me, as they have made on this government. They
have had enough of the broken promises. And I'm serious
about it, and I'm not giving myself any regal room.
It's victim numbers. It's not number of unique offenses and
(04:29):
what happens on a Wednesday and how many young people repeat.
It's victim numbers. How many people have had their life
torn apart, and there will be fewer victims.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So no regle room. By what date will we see that?
Will you make that decision?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, you'll have an election within four years. It's set.
And if there aren't fewer victims, so you don't think.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I'll be in a very good position, Tim, So you
won't run at the election.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
If there aren't fewer victims, you won't be seeing me,
So you'll stand out.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yes, Oh God, Tim Harby hard on him. And kept
saying when will you resign?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Resign?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
He wanted his headline, and I was sitting there going,
will you resign if you don't get ratings for Channel nine,
because I don't know if I'll watch it again
