• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Rage in the House, Chaos in the House for a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: second day in a row, this over the pay equity Bill.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: The question for National is whether this outrage in Parliament
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: will translate to outrage at the ballot box. Sure there
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: is a new legal framework that's been set up with
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: higher thresholds for pay equity claims, but Labour is doing
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: its darndest to create the impression that there's not and
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: if that impression sticks, it could I stress, could be
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a problem for National. Dutton was emasculated at the poll's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: last Saturday in part because he wasn't well liked by women.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: The red landslide sweets Heartland handed Elbow the wind and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: cost him his own seat. In Brisbane's northern suburbs and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: across Queensland, young voters and women broke for Elbow. So
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the question for National is whether it's just created a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: problem for twenty twenty six. Will women give Luxen a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: swift kick in the gonads next year? That's the question.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: The bill does create a risk of them doing so,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: especially the fact it's ran through under urgency. To counter that,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you've got to sell the changes right now in the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: fog of war, they're not getting the cut through the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: critics your jan Tinetti's. They're winning the pr game, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: when the dust settles, they need to explain with specific examples,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: which of those thirty three deals in the pipeline all
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: deals done thus far were bad or rotten and why
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this is not to say all women vote the same
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: or even together in a block. Life is not one
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: big sister hit the hood of the Traveling Pants. After all,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: women didn't show up for KRMLA Harris last November, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the States remember that. Even though MSNBC was basically saying
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Trump would remove your womb, women ditched labor after Jacinda
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: left the building and the NATS picked them up. This
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: pay equity bill is a risk to that support. A
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: bit of a gamble, not one that can't be overcome,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: but you've got to sell your story. For more from
