  Speaker 1: Hello, Katie wolf and three point sixty online at Mixed
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: one O four nine dot com.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: You are listening to Mix one oh four point nine
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: and joining us in the studio. Well, it is the
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: big issues, and the big issues are brought to you
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: by the Kolano Community Association and Aboriginal Loan to operate
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: it and community led organization from the top end to
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Tenant Creek. And I've got Damian Hale in the studio.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Good morning Wolfe, very well.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: And we've also got Dave Toler, good morning.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Great to be with you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to be a busy morning. We know
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: that the federal budget has.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Been looking today off the wall.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I'm just happy to see you, Dave.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Well, it does look like it's going to be a
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: bit of spending in the federal budget tonight, if the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: announcements that have been made so far or anything to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: go by. I mean some of it you're talking about
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: infrastructure for roads. We caught up with the Deputy Prime
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Minister yesterday morning and he'd sort of outlined what we're
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: going to see here in the Northern Territory around some
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of that road infrastructure. But it does mean we're going
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to be going into debt, massive debt, massive debt, massive debt,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: high wading debt. To use the Chief Minister's words from
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: last week on his budget.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: What does the debt prove?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, yes, we don't fun.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: About seven hundred billion, and then over the forward estimates
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: up to a trillion dollars by twenty three twenty four.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Makes you cry, don't it? What fourteen years ago now
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: we had money in the bank. You know, it seems
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: like a lifetime ago. All of a sudden, now we've
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: got all this debt coming out of our ears.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, and it's sort of I suppose, you know, if
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I lay the same theories to the federal budget as
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: what I did to the territory budget, you'd be thinking
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to yourself, well, we're going to be paying this off.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Kids are going to be paying it off. It's going
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to take an awfully long time, I suppose. I mean,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: is the difference, and I don't know whether this is
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: right or not. Does the federal government have a little
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: bit more of an ability to claw back some of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that money through taxes and things, which obviously isn't ideal,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But is that the you know, are they able to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: do it, to pay that debt down a little bit
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: faster than we are here in the territory because the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: revenue stream is greater.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Well, fundamentally, they're mortgaging the kid's future. That's the nature
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: of it. And the debt that we rack up today
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: has to be repaid. It will be repaid by our
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: kids and grandkids. It's going to be with us for
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: that long. Look at Michael Gunner in the territory, there's
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: no end in sight that debt's never going to decrease
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: as far as well, and.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: That looks like chump change to the sight.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It always does too.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: It's a bigger budget as obviously. I think there's a
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: couple of things here that need to be looked at.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Is that people will hear massive numbers tonight and three
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: or four hundred million for this cause and for that cause.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I know there's a focus around women's inclusion in the workplace,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: age care.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I still think that tax cuts for wealthy people need
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to be looked at. And when we've got programs such
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: as the NDIS that has been having money taken out
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: of the NDS, and I think that that's really important.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: No, it's not right It actually is a question how
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: much money did labor put into the NDS. Well zero
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: zero came up with.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Of it since twenty twelve and we had the Debton
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: deficit election under Joe Hockey and Tony Abbott that you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that was when debt was at thirteen percent of our GDP.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: It's now at forty four percent of the GDP. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: what we'll see in this budget will be this will
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: be the election nothing to see here election, And so
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: what Freedenburg will go out there tonight and try to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: convince Australians that everything's fine. The Debton deficit election of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: twenty twelves in the past, where now I've got a
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: situation where everything's okay. What we have to look at
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: from the liberal point of view is when they do
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: make promises around three or four hundred million dollars, do
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: they actually spend the money and is there going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: be underspends which has happened in the past.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Well, that is something that Melander and McCarthy raised a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: bit earlier this morning.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: The point that Damien makes pretty close to the mark.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Twenty fourteen I think was the you know Joe budget,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Joe Hockey's horror budget, you know, everyone said, oh, it's dreadful,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: all these spending cuts and that sort of stuff, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: they almost ran them out of office following that budget.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: But that was the last gasp effort at any sort
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: of fiscal rectitude I think, you know, since then, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: the Libs have basically taken a leaf out of Labour's
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: book and haven't been too concerned about steroids running up
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the debt.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So what's happened as well over the last year is
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: because of the COVID situation. Then when you talk about
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the impact it's had on business and and on a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: lot of people just more generally not being able to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: maybe work the same hours that they've previously did, how
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: their jobs have been impacted. So not even looking at
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the health side of things, just looking at the economic
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: impact that there's been. I think that then you sort
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: of find that a lot of Territorians Aussies more generally
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: are kind of going, well, what do you need to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: do to keep the economy moving, which more territories always think.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: But the territories always lived on the taxes of other Australians.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: That's just the nature of the territory. So it's hard
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: to you know, It's not hard to understand why territorians
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: think that there's this endless pot of money that governments
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: can just procure because it's been happening for forever. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: you know, the rest of the country you actually have
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: to somewhere or other try to balance the budget. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: that's the big question for Josh Fredenberg. Is there enough
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: there to stimulate enough economic growth? Like you say, it's
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: a much larger economy. It's a bigger budget without a doubt,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: and there's a lot of spending going on, but the
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: economy has that ability to grow quite rapidly, particularly you
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: know around our natural resources, oil and gas, mining, agriculture,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: all of those primary industries. You know, eighty five percent
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: of Australia's food crop is for export. You know, those
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: sort of things are staggering and they bring a whole
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: lot of wealth into the country. So you know, the
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: question is, somewhere down the track, can they limit their
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: spending enough to allow that growth to really kick in.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: And I guess much as being said as well about
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: our borders being closed you know internationally, and when those
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: borders are going to reopen and when that is going
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to have an impact as well. At the moment, I think,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: where are we saying twenty twenty two that the borders
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: are going to reopen. I'm not sure exactly what the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Prime minister's latest sort of update had been on that,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: but no doubt that has a part to play as well.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: It's a moving feast. I think that the border closes
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and when it opens. But I think the other thing
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: is that this budget is an election budget, so I've
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: got no doubt that had the role out of the
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: vaccinate been going better than what it is, that we
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: would have been going to the polls in October somewhere
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: around there. But because of the clunkiness of that, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: we've still got issues around around quarantining, so I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: they'll probably end up going possibly to the full term,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: but this will be the last budget unless they have
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: a midyear mid term budget, which they could do, which
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: they had last year. But this will probably be the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: last major budget before an election. So they'll be asking tonight,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: and the pitch tonight from Josh Friedenberg.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Will be looking.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: We know that we've got debt. We're very lucky, as
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Dave alluded to, that we have got primary industries and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: our iron all prices just going through the roof at
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the moment, which is basically propping up the rest of Australians,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the rest of our economy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: But they'll be.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Asking to say, you know, stick with us, let's keep going.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: You're better off sticking with us on the plan that
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: we've got than making a change to go to the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Labor Party. The Labor Party will be saying, well, their
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: credentials as economic managers are shot. They've allays been on
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: to us about debt and deficit, but now they've actually
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: done exactly the same plus some. So there'll be two
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: different narratives coming out to Canberra, you know, and be
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: the people to try to shovel their way through all
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the book crap to try to find where the truth
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: lies and it usually lies somewhere in.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: The middle and need a big shovel, but we.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Mind watering numbers and then you'll get olbows reply on Thursday.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: So it's riveting for us political people.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: That just love this stuff. But family got to be
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: a seriously wait up for elbows.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: We're trying to just break it down nice and simply
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: for people they're most simply that we can because let's
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: be honest, you know, you just all you want to know.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of the time when a budget
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: is being handed down is how it's going to impact
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: your everyday life and if you are going to get
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: out of it, depending on whether you get any benefits.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You know, that's what people are kind of waiting to
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: hear from a lot of the time as well when
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it comes to those budgets. You are listening to MIX
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: one oh for point nine is three point sixty. It
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: is the Big Issues, proudly brought to you by Kolano

  Speaker 1: all the latest news and information, now three sixty with
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Katie Wolf. Everyone is listening Mix one oh four point
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: nine one hundred.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Percent and it is the Big Issues, proudly brought to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you by the Kolano Community Association. And joining us in
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the studio, We've got Dave Tolner and Damian Hale, And
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I tell you what a bit of sporting news sort
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of off the field, I guess you'd say today the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: news that did just flow through earlier this morning. And
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: this is a case which is set to be in
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: court tomorrow, so we'll have to be a bit careful.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: But West Coast Eagles star Willie Rioli has allegedly been
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: caught in possession of cannabis in the Northern Territory, three
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: months before the Ford was set to return to football.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Rioli will face a Darwin court on Wednesday, charged with
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: possessing a schedule to dangerous drug less than traffickable quantity
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: in a public place. An authern Territory Police media release
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: from April twenty three set a drug detection dog was
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: conducting screening operations at the Darwin Airport when twenty five
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: grams of cannabis was allegedly found in the man's pants.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: The ABC understands Rioli was then issued with a notice
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to appear in court on May twelve. So the AFL
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: on the West Coast Eagles were contacted for comment. So
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: that is in the ABC this morning they are reporting
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that one. But then, well, a little further away, I
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: guess you'd say Richmond Premiership player Daniel Rioli was punched
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: in the face and a star teammate I think it's
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Shy Bolton or Shay maybe he might be able to
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: chill with them, which clearly shows you how much I
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: know about AFL broke his wrist in a nightclub on
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Saturday night, Bolton took a well we know he's a
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: great player, but are inside. Apparently there was confrontation at
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yo Yo in the city club Yo Yo the city
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and there's always ups and down to you know, I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: enjoy those dad jokes. So apparently what happened is as well.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: They hit the town Saturday night to celebrate Bolton's girlfriend's birthday,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and that night and unknown bloke's apparently abused and touched
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Rioli's girlfriend. Now, I don't want to say that violence
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: is ever acceptable, but no one should be touching your
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: girlfriend or abusing him. I'm not surprised really that he's
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: blown up about it, but it's I mean, it doesn't
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: look as though.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: He's badly surprising any of those stories really. I mean,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: it's pretty surprising that there's some blake wandering around. He
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: thinks that you can just walk through an airport with
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: a bag of dape in your pocket. But then again
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: you sit there and you've got to pinch yourself and say, well,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: he is a footballer.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Let's get serious, but in Melbourne, like the scrutiny on
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: footballers is just unbelievable, and you could you can almost
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: not go out. You know, I've been out before with
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: LONGI and people like that in Melbourne and they're just mobbed,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: treated like rock stars.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And I was gonna say, and then you've also got
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you do have some people that sort of go.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: And a smart asses towards them because they know who
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: they are and and if you've had a couple of
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: drinks and I don't know exactly what's going on in
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: this situation, but yeah, some you know, sometimes there's situations
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: that unfold that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: You know they've still still have a life.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Careful footballers these days, like you posting biblical messages on Facebook,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: you know, you get a lifetime being for that sort
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: of nonsense. Well, I want what it's got to do
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: with the nightclub, walking around with a bag of open
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: your pocket and an airport.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Actually take a cross to another story. Now, this one
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: is also involved being football, but well not off the field.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: This is actually a footage has emerged of what's been
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: described as a feral brawl between spectators at a Brisbane
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Junior Rugby League match that left a dad needing surgery.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Now this violence erupted between the spectators at the under
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: thirteens Division one game between winner Manly and Logan Brothers
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: on Sunday morning. Now ugly scenes revealed in this video
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: footage show adult spectators spilling onto the field fighting each other.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Punches were thrown and one man was kicked during the brawl,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: while others jumped the fence to getting close to the action.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Very passionate, yes, very passionate spectators. It happens at junior
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: sport everywhere. Well not to that's all, honest goodness me.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: People get passionate about there under twelves.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Do you know we actually I went to the soccer
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: on Sunday morning out at Gray and there was a
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: sign that said this is this is kids sport. The referee,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the umpires are volunteers. This is meant to be fun.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: It is not the World Cup.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: In every community you've actually.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Got to tell behave better. It's almost like the Prime
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Minister needing empathy training. Very similar.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: It's one thing to sort of cheer for your kids
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: and you know, go oh god, you know if they
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: kick a goal or whatever, but to then be getting violent,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: like to get in a punch up at the under thirteens.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And people running.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Football.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I mean it's a passionate sort of sport. You know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I love watching the footing. How you see the Eels
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: winning streak continues.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Of course, I'll tell you what though, it did sort
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: of remind me I was I've been at plenty of
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: games in Mount Isa at the rugby league where there's
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: been all in broad it's a number of them. Actually
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: that's many years had a.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Bit of rugby leg. Remember they had a a gravel field.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: That's pretty right.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Look at that footage and there's growing so cool adults
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: running towards the fight to join in, and like what
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: they need to do is just go through that footage
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: and hand out a few life bands to a few parents.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Well because seriously, like it is junior sport and you
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: kind of go. Sport is supposed to be fun for
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the kids. You know, we've they've already tried to take
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: away you know, you're not allowed to count how many
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: goals you've kicked and things like that, which is unbelieveing.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: No school kids under twelves and down.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Kids still take their there.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: What are the parents thinking now, like after they've seen
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: themselves on the social media and all of that sort
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: of stuff.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You'd have to be like, you'd be pretty disgusted.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: It's not even finals time.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Pull your heads in its.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Club rivalry in a.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Manly Vers city, there's probably some.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Sort of rivalry around three.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Surely leave the family punch ups until at least the
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: prelim final unbelievable weeks of the finals.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Believable. I do just want to briefly touch on the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: fact that the former Australia Post boss, Christine Holgate, she's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: revealed that she has a new job after a scandalous
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: departure from the company. Miss Holgate well claims that she
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: was unlawfully terminated from her position as the chief executive
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: in November after those revelations that senior executives were gifted
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Cartier watchers. So speaking on the Today Show, she confirmed
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: that she would be heading to rival business Global Express
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: in a few months. Good luck to us.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I agree sho motivated be motivated to turn the Global
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Express and take over Australia Post. Good luck to her anyway.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: She was treated poorly and she was.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: She responded by acting poorly. I think you know, to
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: come out to carry on about banging on about misogyny
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: and wearing suffragette whiteing.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I do think that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I don't think that the story. I don't think that
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: had anything to do with it at all.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: The fact the story, no.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: The fact was she was gotten rid of because of
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Cartier watches, not because of she was a female and
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: actual fact it was a labor female senator who raised
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: the issue, you know, and for her to bang on
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: after that about you know, she'd been gotten rid of
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: because of misogynty.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: More that she was pointing out that she hadn't been
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: treated over.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: She banging on about misogyny and how it was for women's.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Commissioners, such a time for her.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: She was dismissed in a rather poor way. But the
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: way she carried on afterwards, I thought.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Five hundred and eighty thousand dollars because they were entitled
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars bonuses, and she
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: bought them a five US and taller watch. I would
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: have been spieling at the watch.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I would have said, look, take my bone. I don't
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: wear a.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Watch because then I'm expected to be home on time,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: so it would expect me to be on time. Rather
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: the bonus rather one dred and fifty every day of
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: the week than a watch watches.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Well, look, we're going to have to makes me think
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: about you know how Meaghan, markl and Aprah are constantly
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: being victimized.
