  Do you think that's a good use of taxpayers' money? Why can't
• 0:03
  you and your ministers just tell people? Well, I think it's a good investment.
• 0:07
  Good investment. $20 million to tell people to pump their tyres up.
• 0:13
  On our show, since this crisis began, we would have had you on for free and
• 0:19
  Like how stupid does he think the Australian public are that we wouldn't have pumped
• 0:24
  You ever feel stupid, just remind yourself that there's people out there that firstly
• 0:31
  I'm not sure there'd be too many farmers out there that would have voted for Labor but... Relief
• 0:35
  is finally on the way for our farmers as Australia secures 250,000 tonnes
• 0:41
  Urea is a big part of fertilizer, you know, lick for cattle. It's
• 0:44
  a big input in the ag scene. Welcome to Dollars in the Dirt.
• 0:48
  I'm Brecon Curtis and this is where we break down the finance side of
• 0:51
  farming so you can grow your operation, buy that next property and
• 0:55
  build real wealth. Let's get into it. Hey guys, welcome to
• 0:58
  this episode. We're going to be reacting to some more videos. A few
• 1:02
  of these are going to be a bit controversial, you know, our friends in
• 1:05
  labor. in the Labor Party probably aren't going to like some
• 1:08
  of our reactions, but it is what it is, and I don't see the
• 1:12
  Labor government as farmers' friends in a lot of ways. So
• 1:17
  here's a few videos, and I hope you like them, and if you've got any
• 1:23
  This just in. Shit's all fucked up, everything is
• 1:26
  bad, and experts agree it's going to get worse before it
• 1:31
  I'm sure this is how most farmers feel every day. The media feeding all this
• 1:34
  bullshit to everyone. Everyone feels like everything's fucked up, but it's probably
• 1:37
  not that bad really. The sun still comes up in
• 1:40
  the morning and everyone's business is still operating. So be
• 1:44
  careful what we believe and keep a positive mindset and keep going,
• 1:47
  I reckon, is the biggest thing here with these. I'm sure this is how everyone feels
• 1:51
  though. Yeah, that's the thing. Managing what
• 1:55
  you can control is probably the biggest thing, you know, like being across your
• 1:58
  cash flow and where you're heading in your business and, you know, by
• 2:02
  trying to block out these external factors is probably a big thing to keep
• 2:09
  $20 million. It's a lot of money and people are telling
• 2:13
  us it feels like a waste. I think this is
• 2:21
  ...on our show since this crisis began. We would have had you on for free and
• 2:28
  Here we are, like, Channel 7's offering to have the Prime Minister on
• 2:31
  for free, free advertising, and he's spending $20 million to
• 2:34
  tell everyone to pump their tyres up? Like, how stupid does he think the Australian public
• 2:38
  are that we wouldn't have pumped up tyres to start with? You know,
• 2:41
  it's just ridiculous to see what's going on at the moment, and they
• 2:44
  should not be wasting money on shit like that, telling people what to do. It just
• 2:48
  shows how stupid they think the Australian people are by telling them to pump their tyres up.
• 2:53
  Hi, I'm Pat, and I'm a dairy farmer. And
• 2:57
  today, I'm going to use all the helpful tips and tricks Anthony
• 3:01
  Albanese has given us in his new $20 million fuel
• 3:09
  I've just pumped up every single tyre on every bit
• 3:12
  of machinery on the farm. Even the spare tyres on the ground. And
• 3:16
  wow. Haven't the results been fantastic? I bet. Now
• 3:19
  that I'm not driving around on flat tyres, I'm not only saving money
• 3:23
  on the tyre wear, but I'm also saving diesel for myself
• 3:28
  How ridiculous is this? The government's wasting $20 million
• 3:32
  to tell people to pump their friggin' tyres up. I just can't
• 3:35
  believe that we are where we are, that people have to be told in Australia that,
• 3:39
  you know, pump your tyres up. Like, I don't see anyone driving around on flat
• 3:43
  tyres, you know, like, just ridiculous. I
• 3:47
  wish they'd just stop wasting money. Just quickly, if you're tired of
• 3:50
  explaining your operation to a new bank manager every year, only
• 3:53

  with the team and we'll show you what's possible. Righto guys, now back
• 4:25
  to the episode. Oh,
• 4:33
  how true. Anyone who voted for Labor, you know, seriously. How
• 4:36
  could you give these guys a good report card with the way we're going at
• 4:39
  the moment? Well, anyway, I'm not sure there'd be too many farmers out there that would
• 4:43
  have voted for Labor. But anyway, if there are,
• 4:46
  that's we are, we are. And hopefully we're going to see a change
• 4:49
  in and where we're heading with stuff soon because, you know, from a
• 4:52
  farming and grazing and agricultural perspective, things aren't
• 4:56
  going that well. You know, some of the new agreements that have been done and, you
• 4:59
  know, the fuel crisis and urea and all sorts of things are causing issues,
• 5:04
  which, you know, it's all not as, you know, the government's complete
• 5:08
  fault, but we haven't been doing anything to protect ourselves from it in recent
• 5:11
  times neither. So hopefully we're going to see some
• 5:17
  Relief is finally on the way for our farmers as Australia secures 250,000 tonnes
• 5:22
  of urea. Indonesia will supply Australia with
• 5:26
  a quarter of a million tonnes of the world's most... Here we are, 250,000 tonnes.
• 5:30
  We need about three million tonnes of urea per
• 5:33
  year, so hopefully there's a bit more coming. And
• 5:38
  these guys have got this sorted because urea is a big part of
• 5:42
  fertilizer, lick for cattle. It's
• 5:45
  a big input in the ag scene. And so it's a
• 5:48
  bit of a worry that we've got a shortage of urea, but hopefully Albo
• 5:53
  and his mates have got this sorted and are going to look after us and make sure that
• 5:56
  the farming industry and grazing industry doesn't run out of urea
• 6:00
  Do you think that's a good use of taxpayers' money? Why can't
• 6:06
  Well, we see that there's heaps of misinformation out there
• 6:09
  online about what's happening. Some of them they might know about already,
• 6:13
  some of them they don't know about. I think it's a good investment and
• 6:18
  Good investment, $20 million to tell people to pump their tyres up.
• 6:21
  Seriously? When would you reckon the last time this bird pumped the tyres up?
• 6:25
  Do you really? Big government advertising campaign. Because Tanya... Yes,
• 6:29
  These guys waste their time or worry about advertising campaigns for pumping up
• 6:33
  tyres. Surely we should be talking about bigger picture things around creating
• 6:37
  more supplier fuel in Australia. You know, all they're
• 6:40
  worried about is green initiatives when, at
• 6:44
  the end of the day, we need diesel, we need to make food. You
• 6:47
  know, everything we look at needs diesel. So are these guys wasting money on
• 6:51
  advertising campaigns for pumping up tyres? This is just
• 6:54
  a drop in the ocean, really. A lot needs to be done to fix up where we're heading with
• 6:58
  this country. And hopefully they get their shit sorted soon. So
• 7:02
  guys, see my reaction to some of these
• 7:05
  videos. Albo and his mates are getting a bit of a flogging in a few of these, which
• 7:09
  is what it is. Anyway, let me know your thoughts,
• 7:12
  and I'm sure yours will, because we have been in the past. So yeah,
• 7:17
  look forward to everyone's reaction to these videos. Thanks
