00:00One, two, three!
00:30Thank you very much, thank you.
00:43I just want to say, actually I just want to say before we start, that the opening titles
00:47do rather misrepresent how angry I'm going to be during the course of the series.
00:52I'm not an angry person by nature, certainly not angry enough to cause a building to take
00:56off and fly around the world while I screamed at it out of a window.
01:01So even though this show is called Sean McAuliffe's Mad as Hell, I want to make it clear that it's
01:05not me that will be angry.
01:07I'm here to moderate between you folks at home and the events that have taken place this week
01:12here and abroad.
01:13Events that perhaps have vexed you, made you angry, I'm here as a peacemaker, if anything,
01:19to educate and help you better understand why things are the way they are.
01:24I like to think of myself as a calming influence, because this is not the sort of show where
01:30some auto-queue-reading pretty boy sits at a desk and feeds you pablum and tells you what
01:36to think.
01:37If you want that, you go and watch Q&A.
01:41I don't sit at a desk and take sides, I sit in a round table.
01:46You know, there are no sides.
01:49You know, and it's a table with a yin-yang symbol on it, and I'm sitting in the middle
01:55of the yin-yang symbol, so I have no agenda.
01:58You know, if we could have afforded it, I would have had this yin-yang table teetering
02:02on a fence as a metaphor for what this show is all about, a perfectly balanced, non-judgmental
02:09state of wisdom and enlightenment.
02:12Mind you, one thing that really got me f***ing mad this week was Craig Thompson.
02:19Mrs Conroy has the pricey.
02:21It's been a tough few weeks for the MP, formerly known as Labour's Craig Thompson, but the beleaguered
02:27polly says he's not responsible for putting Julia Gillard up against the wall.
02:31Although if that's true, what's this?
02:34But there's something that the tumescent member for Dobell can't take down and hide behind
02:38a box, or indeed in several of them, himself.
02:43Did he use his HSU credit card to pay for prostitutes in 2008?
02:48And if he did, could what was provided be categorised as a health service?
02:53Did his enemies seek to end his political career by using HSU monies to secretly fund
02:59his successful 2007 election campaign?
03:02And if they did, wasn't this a rather ironic way of going about it?
03:06Though the PM refuses to be drawn on these questions, the Herald Sun's Mark Knight has
03:11still attempted to do so, with the usual results.
03:14Now, I'm going to go out on a limb here and agree with Bill Shorten when he says he agrees
03:20with what the Prime Minister says, no matter what it is.
03:23We see stuff all the time on the news, and it's natural to form an opinion on the basis
03:28of how these things appear.
03:29But what do we know really?
03:30Hmm?
03:31I mean, police firing a gun directly into a car is, as Assistant Police Commissioner Mark
03:36Murdoch said...
03:37Uh, it's not a very good look.
03:38Yeah, it's not a very good look.
03:39Not a very good look.
03:40But there might be a perfectly rational explanation for shooting unarmed teenagers at point-blank
03:45range.
03:46I don't know.
03:47Um, Aung San Suu Kyi, alright, not turning up on the first day of Parliament in Burma a few
03:51weeks back.
03:52Not a very good look.
03:53But if you know her history, you know that she's used to working from home.
03:58And stripped of its context, even this footage doesn't appear to make any sense.
04:05And the same thing with the allegations against Peter Slipper.
04:14Even journalists are saying...
04:16But he says the allegations aren't a good look.
04:19They aren't a good look.
04:20They aren't a good look.
04:21But we should be careful about drawing conclusions based on how things look.
04:25On the basis of this picture, for example, people would think that Peter Slipper is a
04:32vampire.
04:33So, Peter Slipper, like the New South Wales Police, like Craig Thompson, like Aung San Suu
04:38Kyi, are innocent until an inquiry says otherwise.
04:41Do you agree, blog webmistress Ventura Grosby?
04:44Well Sean, I think until Peter Slipper is proved to be a vampire, we should just assume he's
04:51a mortal human being with no more craving for human blood than, say, you or I.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Otherwise it's just wild speculation, isn't it?
04:59Fueled by a purient media trading in gossip.
05:01Oh, absolutely.
05:02But, I mean, if there is proof of his vampirism, if he sleeps in a coffin, for example, if he
05:08can't cast a reflection or if he can transform into a bat and fly around, then sure, then
05:14I think you can make a judgement.
05:15Yeah, yeah.
05:16Although, presumably, if he can turn into a bat and fly around, then he would have no
05:19use for the cab charges.
05:21Well, I think that would be evidence in his favour, sure.
05:25Yeah, yeah, I agree.
05:26Thank you very much, Ventura.
05:28Thank you very much.
05:29Still to come.
05:31Rivers releases its new autumn range of affordable clothing.
05:34And Nazis in Greece go online for our recipe.
05:41Of course, the Craig Thompson, Peter Slipper thingo is fuelling the leadership lawnmower
05:47engine.
05:48Atlanta Monkley has a nice voice.
05:50Julie Gillard, she talks to us like we're retarded.
05:53And maybe she's right.
05:54Though floundering in the very polls that made her become Prime Minister less than two years
05:58ago, rumblings in caucus point to the possibility of another leadership challenge.
06:02And again, Kevin Rudd's name keeps coming up, particularly if you're talking to him.
06:07Joining me are Hazel Darcy from the Prime Minister's office and Grant Oxley, senior staffer to
06:13Kevin Rudd.
06:14Grant Oxley, the Prime Minister is calling for party unity in the run-up to the next election.
06:19It's a reasonable request, isn't it?
06:20Well, it would be if we were half a chance at it, but the idea that Julie Gillard can
06:24win the next election is, I'm afraid, complete bullshit.
06:26Hazel Darcy, your own colleague thinks the idea of a new Gillard government is bullshit.
06:31Well, I don't think he's actually saying that.
06:33I think he is.
06:34I don't think he is.
06:35I am.
06:36I don't think you are.
06:37What?
06:38So when I say the idea of her winning the next election is bullshit, I'm not saying the idea
06:41of her winning the next election is bullshit.
06:42Well, you can spin it any way you like, Grant, but I don't think that's what you're saying.
06:46I think he is.
06:47Look, Mr Oxley and Mr Rudd strongly support the Prime Minister and believe that she is the
06:52right person to lead Labor to the next election.
06:54No, we don't.
06:55We strongly believe the best chance we've got at the next election is Kevin Rudd.
06:59He does seem to be saying Kevin Rudd's the only type you've got at the next election.
07:02Well, again, I don't think that's what he's saying.
07:04Yes, it is.
07:05What is he saying?
07:06He's saying that Julia Gillard is the leader and if the party gets behind her, we can win.
07:10I don't think he's saying that.
07:11That's not what I'm saying.
07:12I think it is.
07:13What, so you know what I'm saying but I don't?
07:15That's not what I'm saying.
07:17I think it is.
07:18What are you saying?
07:19I'm saying Julia is doing a great job and deserves to remain in that job.
07:23And what's he saying?
07:24He's saying the same thing using different words.
07:26Words.
07:27Words like bullshit.
07:28Well, you need to read between the lines.
07:30Like a bullet lodged in the spine but too close to the brainstem to operate.
07:34We'll have to leave it there.
07:35Sean?
07:36Atlanta.
07:37Well, it's all very well to dress up in funny wigs and false noses and pretend to be somebody.
07:43Actors.
07:44But what do real people actually think?
07:48A lot of people out there would like to stick knives in her back.
07:51But yeah, she's doing a pretty good job at the moment.
07:54She has an incredibly classical voice.
07:57My grandma loves her.
07:58I don't know what to think about her.
08:01I keep varying between whether I think she's innocent or guilty.
08:06At the moment I think she's guilty.
08:08I believe that she should, you know, come back home sooner.
08:13It might be good for her.
08:17Um, she's beautiful I guess.
08:20I saw her on TV the other day as a kid.
08:22I can't remember the show.
08:23Wherever she started.
08:25Way, way back.
08:26And I thought, wow.
08:27You know, what a...
08:28What a start.
08:29Eww!
08:30Eww!
08:31Eww!
08:32Eww!
08:33Eww!
08:34Eww!
08:35Eww!
08:36Yes.
08:37A wide range of views there on just how our Prime Minister is doing.
08:42Well, the integrity of manager of opposition business in the House, Christopher Pyne, is
08:47under question from some sources who say his account of when and where he contacted Peter
08:51Slipper Stafford James Ashby has got more holes in it than a machine gun crumpet with stigmata.
08:56Did he talk with Mr Ashby for two hours over drinks in Mr Slipper's office?
09:01Did he seek Mr Ashby's e-tails from a colleague that same night?
09:05Did he contact Mr Ashby about Mr Slipper?
09:08What really happened on the night of March 19th?
09:10And is it any of our business?
09:12Carrington Mews.
09:13Well, I think the question is, is it any of Christopher Pyne's business?
09:16He is manager of opposition business in the House.
09:19What happens or doesn't happen outside the House in the sanctity of a man's private office
09:23is none of his concern.
09:25You are a private detective?
09:26I am.
09:27And you have for a number of years been following Mr Pyne?
09:31I have, yes.
09:32And am I right in saying you have planted a tracking device in his neck?
09:38A small radio frequency chip was implanted in Mr Pyne when he was at university by his
09:44parents who feared that he would be kidnapped.
09:46Consequently, I have records of his past movements for the last 25 years.
09:51All right.
09:52So what happened on the 19th of March 2012?
09:55AD?
09:56Yes.
09:57Yes, I do.
09:59If you just look at the monitor lizard over there, I'll consult my notes.
10:03Wow.
10:04Very beautiful creature, is that the monitor lizard?
10:06I think so.
10:07On March the 19th, between the hours of 9.03 and 10.47pm, Mr Pyne was in Mr Slipper's
10:14office.
10:15Yes.
10:16At which time he left said office and went down this corridor to have a 12 minute sauna.
10:20He then climbed out of the window and ran across the parliamentary lawns to Lake Burley
10:25Griffin where he swam in the moonlight for 20 minutes.
10:28He returned to Parliament House where he entered this broom cupboard and hid inside
10:32for six minutes.
10:33He then appears to have climbed into the wall cavity and made his way by a ventilation shaft
10:39to his own office where he emailed a colleague requesting Mr Ashby's phone number and email
10:43address.
10:44Yes.
10:45He walked around his office for one minute at which point he received those details by
10:48return email and contacted Mr Ashby who responded with an email featuring a smiley face emoticon.
10:55Mr Pyne then rode a Segway out of Parliament House and threw the fountain out the front whereupon
11:00he took Commonwealth Avenue to the Hippo Lounge bar where he danced until dawn.
11:05It's fascinating stuff.
11:07What conclusions can we draw about Mr Pyne's role in the whole affair?
11:10It is not for me to pry into someone's personal affairs and speculate on what may or may not
11:16have motivated them to do what they did or indeed if they did it.
11:19I will leave that to others.
11:21And what do you think they'll say?
11:23That he befriended Ashby to use him to destroy Slipper's political career as revenge.
11:27Carrington, I admire your discretion.
11:29Personally, I like Christopher Pyne.
11:31I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation and I look forward to hearing it.
11:35Well, we've talked about how things look but I'd like to change the subject now and talk
11:40about perception.
11:42Now, our Prime Minister and her partner don't have children, which is fine.
11:48A lot of people don't want to have children.
11:50My parents, for example.
11:53Something they often told me as I was growing up.
11:55But the labour machine seems to think it's a problem.
11:58They are forever putting Ms Gillard in the proximity of children to give the impression that
12:02she's comfortable with children, that she understands children, she knows how to handle children.
12:07It's the same logic behind having Wayne Swan walking towards the Treasury Building or leafing
12:12through documents that have to do with the economy.
12:15See, there he is there.
12:16It's to reassure the public that despite the absence of any real knowledge, they at least
12:20appear to have some idea of how these things work.
12:23It's completely unnecessary in my view, at least in the Prime Minister's case.
12:27But it does highlight the importance of perception in politics.
12:31And, Paramore Quilt, you've examined some very interesting sides to this multi-faceted
12:36zircon.
12:37That's right, Sean.
12:38What our politicians stand for is a question we often ask when their policies are announced.
12:43But no less fascinating is what our politicians stand in front of when they do the announcing.
12:48I found out who's behind what's behind our favourite party leaders.
12:53Opposition leader Tony Abbott standing in front of some Anzac biscuits.
12:58It's an image that is strong and patriotic.
13:00But he didn't stand there by accident.
13:02Someone told him to.
13:04Well, it was coming up on Anzac Day and I knew the Prime Minister would be in Gallipoli
13:08and that she'd be standing in front of the Lone Pine or whatever.
13:11So I thought I'd get in early with something equally evocative.
13:16Tony Abbott is a canny political animal.
13:18But, like most of us, he knows very little about what's behind him.
13:23At least according to his press officer, Cecily Crumb.
13:26Originally, Tony wanted to stand here for his press call.
13:29But I said, Tony, Vietnamese noodles, Thai sauces, Malaysian.
13:34It's a lot of Asian imports.
13:35A lot of foreign stuff that's come to our country on boats.
13:38So he twigged and switched aisles straight away.
13:41It humanises Tony.
13:43Seeing him in a supermarket next to product eaten by those who've served our country.
13:47That's why I got him in the factory actually making the biscuits too.
13:51The message is strong.
13:53Tony takes the biscuit.
13:56The same with those wonderful shots of Tony slicing cake.
13:59Tony takes the cake, you see.
14:01Tony wanted Tony has his cake and eats it too.
14:05But I thought it was the wrong message.
14:07And in the shots we had of him eating cake, he got a lot of it down his front.
14:10It takes the cake.
14:13It's powerful.
14:14Brani Molasses, press officer for the ALP, disagrees.
14:18Having Tony Abbott in a white coat is very derivative of a photo op I'd arranged for Kevin Rudd back in 2007 about the health reform.
14:28What the Coalition have done is they've combined that with another one where we had Kevin Rudd baking.
14:34I think it's clear they've run out of ideas.
14:37Cecily Crumb denies the accusation of plagiarism.
14:41The white coat was an original.
14:43We actually have footage of Tony sewing it.
14:45And as far as the food motif, well, we actually have Mr Howard cooking as early as July of 2007.
14:52So I think it's a bit cheeky of Labor to say we're pinching their stuff.
14:57You only have to look at what they stand Julia Gillard in front of to see they have no idea.
15:01A kindergarten pin board?
15:03Really?
15:04I mean, if you're going to rip off George Bush's My Pet Goat moment from 9-11, at least give the poor woman a chair.
15:10Well, we had a lot of presidential moments with our Prime Minister.
15:13Whenever she and Tim Matheson are getting on a plane together, I always get them to turn around and give a wave.
15:17Well, that just proves my point, doesn't it?
15:19That is straight out of the Barack and Michelle Obama's playbook.
15:22Whatever the philosophy behind what's behind our politicians and what they're doing in front of it,
15:28it's comforting to know that both are the products of a well-thought-out strategy.
15:33Although the question remains, why was Tony Abbott ever down at the beach in Lycra playing a ukulele?
15:40I don't know. I was sick that day.
15:43Paramore Quilt at Bondi for Madass.
15:46Hmm, yeah. Powerful stuff. Powerful stuff there.
15:49Although I'm curious about that shot of the PM and Tim Matheson waving outside of Air Force One there.
15:54Do we have the... What exactly were they waving? Do we have the reverse angle?
15:57Can we have a look at the... Do we have that?
15:59I think we do.
16:00We do have that. Can we have a look at possibly that footage again and just check the reverse angle?
16:04So there's the shot we know. Who reversed that? A reverse angle? Oh, I see.
16:09Very stiff there, aren't they? Very stiff with the waves, I think.
16:12Well, just as I thought, don't believe anything you see on television.
16:15Still to come, drive-through supermarket trialled in US and French socialist President Hollande not quite as far to the left as Angela Merkel would like.
16:37We'll be back after these words from our sponsor.
16:42Soon, millions of Australians paying the carbon tax will get additional help with their everyday expenses, like the carbon tax.
16:50It's the first part of the Australian government's carbon tax sweetener.
16:54An initial frightening price hike will automatically appear in your power bills from July 2012.
17:01These massive power price increases will become a regular part of your crippling debt between July this year and early 2014.
17:10The Household Assistance Package. It's about the carbon tax.
17:15Authorised by the Australian Government, Canberra. Spoken by R. Hammond and S. McAuliffe.
17:20It's a riot of comedy this week on your ABC when our former Prime Minister learns that Foreign Minister Bob Carr
17:26may have done a deal for the release of Chappelle Corby.
17:29Fair shake of the sauce bottle.
17:31Well, I was only reading something in the paper.
17:34Australian political satire at its most trenchant. Backbenched, Wednesdays at 8.30.
17:46Thank you very much, thank you. Welcome back.
17:48Now, before we do anything else, I'd just like to thank a few people.
17:52We've got a few good luck cards and texts and things during the week.
17:55And I just want to mention a few very, very quickly.
17:58I won't waste too much of your time.
18:00The first two are from Current Affair and Today Tonight.
18:03And as you'd expect, they look very similar and contain identical messages.
18:09So thank you very much for that.
18:12Very thoughtful here.
18:13SBS late news made from 100% recycled material.
18:18And also, Andrew Bolt actually sent me a gift, which is lovely of him.
18:24I don't know Andrew, but it's very kind of him to send me this.
18:27I'll just have a look. I'm not too sure what...
18:31God, that's disgusting.
18:34I mean, I would never wear these.
18:38But thank you, thank you anyway, very much, Andrew.
18:41It's very nice and thank you to everybody who sent the good wishes.
18:43Good luck, Sean. Good luck.
18:49Oh my God, it's the ghost of Kerry O'Brien, ladies and gentlemen.
18:57My time here is short, Sean.
19:00What's that?
19:01My time here is short, Sean.
19:03Oh, well, yes.
19:04I come to wish you the good luck with the series.
19:07And to give you a warning, a warning.
19:10A warning.
19:11What is this warning of a spirit?
19:13Never leave any loose change in a dressing room.
19:16You're sharing with Andrew Denton.
19:19Goodbye.
19:20Goodbye.
19:21Goodbye.
19:22The ghost of Kerry O'Brien, ladies and gentlemen.
19:27Wow.
19:28Wow, what an honour.
19:29You know, he really put himself out too, because, you know,
19:31technically Kerry O'Brien's not dead.
19:33You know, four corners.
19:38Anyway, still to come.
19:40The killing fields of Wonka Land.
19:42And British Labor leader Ed Miliband looks a lot like Chase's Chris Taylor.
19:48Well, after being obliterated in the state election,
19:51Queensland's six Labor MPs are considering teaming up with an independent member
19:55in an attempt to form a minority opposition.
19:57Joining me now from Brisbane is Labor's Shadow Minister for State Development,
20:04Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Shadow Minister for Trade,
20:07the Shadow Treasurer, Shadow Minister for Health,
20:09Shadow Minister for Education, Training and Employment,
20:12Shadow Minister for Police and Community Safety,
20:14Shadow Attorney General, Shadow Minister for Justice,
20:17Shadow Minister for Transport and Main Road,
20:19Shadow Minister for Housing and Public Works,
20:21Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry,
20:24Shadow Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection and Shadow Minister
20:27and Shadow Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Curtis Pitt.
20:31Sean?
20:32Curtis Pitt, thank you, but that's taken up all our satellite time, so good evening.
20:43Actually, recent polls suggest that Labor would increase its minority to zero in Queensland
20:48if an election had been held this week.
20:50And that's obviously worrying for our Prime Minister.
20:52But what do people really think?
20:55She's pear-shaped, like everything that government's done.
20:58Well, I don't think you should judge her on her appearance,
21:01because she looks awful.
21:02Yeah, I think she gets a lot of criticism just because she's a woman.
21:05It's not fair. Tony Abbott doesn't get that.
21:07She's 100% died in the war, committed Labor.
21:10That's what I can't stand about her.
21:11She's no Kevin Rudd, is she?
21:13And you don't get too many people you can say that about.
21:15And coming up, Wayne Swan's Press Secretary on Labor's plan to trump Queensland's Clive Palmer.
21:26Come on, Sean, that's irrelevant.
21:27Well, yes, but assuming Mr Palmer wins pre-selection and builds the Titanic,
21:31how's Wayne Swan going to match that?
21:32We will build the Hindenburg.
21:34Listen, the Labor government couldn't install insulation in a roof.
21:37How are you going to build the Hindenburg without it catching fire again?
21:40This time we're building it out of asbestos.
21:46Actually, I should explain.
21:47Clive Palmer wants to run for the seat of Lily.
21:50And I say that's great, because I don't think Clive's run anywhere since 1958.
21:54It'd be good for him.
21:55And, you know, there's been a lot of cynicism about Clive
21:58and how he's underqualified and undeserving of Liberal pre-selection
22:02and how he has no concept of reality.
22:04But, you know, I'd like to see him replace Wayne Swan.
22:06I think Clive would be a great treasurer.
22:08Because he knows the value of a dollar.
22:10He's a millionaire and he's getting this replica Titanic made in China,
22:13so it's going to be a lot cheaper than had he made it locally.
22:16That's smart. I'd trust him with our tax dollars.
22:23Well, how much does a Grecian earn?
22:25Not very much, went the old joke that I never understood.
22:28And it's no funnier today because many of them aren't earning anything.
22:31Greece's economy is in ruins.
22:33And not nice to look at ones like these either.
22:36It's all pretty ugly.
22:37They owe billions to Germany and have really no chance of being able to pay it back.
22:41Although, if I was going to pick a country that was the least likely to exact revenge for screwing them over,
22:46it would be Germany.
22:47One radical solution being proposed is that Greece pull out of the Eurozone.
22:52But that's a decision that can only be made by the government.
22:55So they really should get themselves one.
22:57I mean, honestly, what sort of country can't even elect a majority government?
23:02Cradle of democracy.
23:05However, whether they opt out of the Eurozone or not,
23:09all the major political parties have committed to remaining in Eurovision.
23:12So it really is dark times over there.
23:17Oh, and here's something to mull over.
23:19Greece's slide into financial ruin started at about the same time as One Boy Two Kings of Mykonos was released.
23:27How did they not see this coming?
23:32I'm Alan Jones.
23:34And I'm not going to see you all.
23:39Well, one thing you can't accuse our government of is not giving the battler a fair go.
23:44For example, would you house an asylum seeker released from a detention centre in your home for $300 a week?
23:50Send your entries to the Department of Immigration and you could win your very own detainee plus $300 a week spending money.
23:57Just like circular headwoman Bethany Drogmuller did.
24:00This report courtesy of our online content provider.
24:19For Jock McGillicuddy, not his real name, living in this small house and circular head with host Bethany Drogmuller
24:26is a dream come true after four months in a detention centre.
24:29What's the point of keeping him in a detention centre, really?
24:32When he could be living here, earning me a tasty $300 a week.
24:35And he's no trouble at all.
24:37He's from Biafra or something, is it?
24:39Sudan.
24:40Sudan!
24:41There you go.
24:42So my first child was conceived in a station wagon, now I've got one from a Sudan.
24:46She's very kind.
24:49I'm allowed to move up out the camp of Philly and work out here in the fresh air or inside.
24:55Australia is a wonderful country.
24:58So how does this work out for you financially?
25:00Oh, it's just about the money.
25:02The truth is, it doesn't cost me any more to feed him, because we only eat what I grow in my backyard, don't we?
25:07Yeah.
25:08Yeah.
25:09I'll take you through it.
25:10So, I get the community placement allowance, $300 a week.
25:16I'll adopt him before he turns 16, so I get the baby bonus, $2,000, bang.
25:22I'll send him to high school, so I get the $820 education rebate.
25:28Thank you very much.
25:29And if he wants to marry me when he's of age, or go-to-facto, that's another potential two-grand
25:34baby bonus.
25:35Good goose that laid the golden egg, aren't you, mate?
25:39Oh, yeah.
25:42Ooh.
25:44Fantastic.
25:46Thanks, Tosh.
25:47Here's a blank cab charge.
25:49Thank you very much.
25:50I appreciate it.
25:52Not coming up, because we've run out of time.
25:54Julia Gillard arrives in the US on the first and second legs of her body, and shows NATO
26:00who's the boss.
26:01Oh, I've disabbed instructions.
26:04Well, that's just about it, folks.
26:07So ends a week in which Facebook went public, not unlike all your personal details on it.
26:12And it's coming to know, isn't it, that the company is now worth more than $100 billion,
26:18almost the same amount Australian shares have lost in value this last month.
26:22Yin and yang, so it all balances out in the end.
26:25Here's tomorrow's talk back.
26:27Good night.
26:28I think it's terrible that Qantas has split in two, but then again, what could you expect
26:33when you sank 500 maintenance staff?
26:35Yeah, I just want to talk about Clive Palmer.
26:38I reckon the only reason he's building that replica Titanic is so that Labour will have
26:42to rearrange the deck chairs on it.
26:44All right.
26:45Gina Reinhart apparently gets $600 a second.
26:49All right.
26:50She's working pretty hard for that.
26:51I don't want to know where does she get any time off.
26:56Giant baby.
