  I said the other day I was talking to Tampa, the Ricard,
• 0:15
  hopefully you've watched that video, but we were talking about
• 0:19
  some of the absurd, possibly corrupt activity going on in
• 0:24
  Victoria and then she brought up about the industries that were
• 0:28
  affected. Because of the backflip by the
• 0:31
  Andrews government regarding the Commonwealth Games and one of
• 0:35
  the topics she brought up one of the industries rather was the
• 0:39
  caravan industry. So let's just check out this
• 0:41
  video and it maybe explains what's going on there and how
• 0:46
  the Andrews government has completely ripped the caravan
• 0:51
  industry. So it would seem criminal.
• 0:55
  Absolutely criminal. Anyways, check it out together.
• 0:58
  Caravan industry is shedding new light on Victoria's doomed
• 1:02
  Commonwealth Games. They agreed to build 10,000
• 1:05
  caravans to fix an accommodation shortage, but say they couldn't
• 1:09
  believe it when the Andrews government asked them to foot
• 1:12
  the bill. As the government celebrated a
• 1:16
  win for big build projects in the city, they were forced to
• 1:19
  dodge new questions on the Commonwealth Games debacle, this
• 1:22
  time from the Victorian caravan industry.
• 1:25
  But we can't even get a meeting with them to actually talk to
• 1:27
  them about it. There, there were.
• 1:29
  There were no decisions. The regions had been scrambling
• 1:32
  to work out where to house staff and volunteers during the games.
• 1:36
  The caravan industry had a solution.
• 1:38
  We talked about manufacturing 10,000 caravans.
• 1:41
  I said how many can you make? And we said 10,000.
• 1:43
  And they said, oh, that will solve our problem.
• 1:45
  The cost was around $100 million, but the kicker came
• 1:49
  weeks into their discussions. And then about a week before the
• 1:52
  Victorian Government pulled the Commonwealth Games, they
• 1:55
  actually said to us, oh, we thought you were gonna pay for
• 1:57
  it. I almost fell over.
• 1:59
  Well, if you didn't. Just briefly, who, who would
• 2:04
  ever go to some industry and say, well, we thought you were
• 2:07
  going to pay for it in in what? Who even thinks like that?
• 2:13
  In what reality would that ever occur that the industry that
• 2:18
  sells a product, that builds a product and sells a product in
• 2:21
  order to create, you know, employ people, create profits?
• 2:26
  That they would then just foot the bill.
• 2:31
  Thing it got mad enough The fact that the Andrews government
• 2:34
  would literally expect 10,000 freebie caravans to put people
• 2:38
  into housing. I mean, that's just a complete
• 2:40
  joke. The Andrews government has a
• 2:42
  different version of events, saying they hadn't officially
• 2:45
  asked the industry to pay for anything and they were still
• 2:48
  exploring a number of other housing options.
• 2:51
  There was a range of conversations and discussions
• 2:53
  that were going on. There were no final decisions as
• 2:57
  a consequence of those discussions.
• 2:59
  Why wouldn't these things be thought out?
• 3:03
  She just dogs and riddles. There was nothing, you know,
• 3:05
  nothing concrete, just further discussions.
• 3:08
  It reminds me of being started to watch that that Australian
• 3:11
  series Utopia, you know, the national building authority.
• 3:15
  And it reminds me. She reminds me very much of
• 3:18
  someone from that program where they just talk and riddles.
• 3:21
  Nothing really makes sense. We just wave our arms around, we
• 3:24
  make a big announcement. We'll put the hard hat on.
• 3:27
  Yeah, while they build a fence. Particularly when the local
• 3:31
  councils are ringing you saying we don't have enough
• 3:33
  accommodation but yet it's been put in our regions, it just
• 3:35
  doesn't make any sense. Christy Cooper 7 News.
• 3:39
  So there you go. That's apparently what has
• 3:41
  occurred. Some of the things that have
• 3:43
  been coming out regarding the Andrews government and their
• 3:46
  decision to scrap the Commonwealth Games and we'll
• 3:50
  just leave the bill. Absolutely ludicrous and
• 3:55
  continue to blame everyone else anyway.
• 4:00
  Some more, some other crazy things happening, but that's
• 4:03
  just one thing. This is a bit of a what the flip
• 4:07
  if this is actually true. It's a bit of what the flip.
• 4:10
  What the flip is going on in Victoria.
• 4:12
  Absolute corruption assault would seem.
• 4:15
  That's just my opinion. Thanks for listening to the
• 4:17
  slippery slope. Please let me know what you
• 4:20
  think. If you've got any more
• 4:22
  information to shared, just post it.
• 4:24
  We'll check it out. Thanks, eh?
• 4:28
  They just feel
