• 0:05
  Speaker 1: one prime minister, one president in the world who's in touch.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter which side of politics they're on. Albanesi Labor,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: He's just bought a four million dollar cliff top mansion
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: north of Sydney. Keir Starmer Labor, He's worth ten million
• 0:18

• 0:27
  Speaker 1: gets three hundred thousand dollars per speaking. Chris Sipkins has

  Speaker 1: multiple properties, so they are all rich. The question is

  Speaker 1: or do something productive first to earn their wealth, rather
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: than just walk into a job as minister and get

  Speaker 1: rich that way. Or when lotto, if somebody had experience
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: running a charity or something like that wasn't paid very well,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but was skilled and motivated and strategic, then I'd vote
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for them too. It's about experience. It's not shouldn't be
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: about surely how wealthy you are or how poor you are.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: What matters is how well you can run an economy
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: so that hard working people can get ahead. Just ask
