00:001, 2, 3, 5
00:30Well, they said he couldn't do it, and this was his own party, but he did.
00:41Malcolm Turnbull, my hero, has not only united the warring factions of the Liberal Party
00:46so that they can more easily hit each other, but he's also united a country riven with
00:51discord, a prime example of which is Australia.
00:53And I say prime example because Australia is a country capable of being divided by itself
00:58and won.
00:59And I think we all know who that one is.
01:15But there have been those in the party who believed in Malcolm's manifest destiny.
01:19Though many of us became lost this last week in the fog of political uncertainty, Scott
01:24Morrison was there as our guiding tugboat, the lonely beacon from a distant lighthouse
01:28a Jack the Ripper to Labor's hopes and dreams prostitute.
01:32As he said...
01:33It was a tough night on Saturday night, but the likely outcome here is that of course
01:38the government will form a government.
01:41Yes.
01:43Yes, and being able to form a government is a handy skill for a government to have.
01:46Because if a government can't form a government, then ontologically it would be an existential
01:51paradox.
01:52And that's a very difficult thing to explain to an electorate who can't even get their
01:55head around negative gearing.
01:56But now that we actually have a government, things get very interesting.
02:01Because the coalition claims that the swing against them was because of what Labor told
02:05everybody the coalition would do to Medicare.
02:07If it got back in.
02:08You remember.
02:10And it follows that because the swing wasn't enough to keep the coalition out of office,
02:16that they now have a mandate to destroy Medicare in exactly the same way Labor said they would.
02:21I mean, as far as slogans go, jobs and growth was fine, but obviously, fuck Medicare resonated
02:26more strongly with voters.
02:29Bill Shorten, of course, has not been resting on his laurels this week, travelling far and wide,
02:35and thanking everyone for not quite electing him Prime Minister.
02:39And during this failure lap of the country, talk of a threat to his leadership has, like
02:43a colourful doona, died down.
02:49As Shadow Assistant Treasurer Andrew Lee said.
02:51The only problem that Bill Shorten's going to have when he walks into the next room of
02:54Labor supporters is getting the applause to die down so he can actually speak.
02:58I mean, it would be very tempting to keep applauding, wouldn't it?
03:04That's a very, very easy thing to do when he keeps coming up with zingers like this.
03:08Mr Turnbull tried to capitalise on the Brexit vote and say, oh, this, therefore, because
03:12of what happened in England, you had to vote for him in Australia.
03:15He Brexited himself.
03:18Yeah.
03:19I mean, it was a shaggy dog one, but it had a good punchline.
03:22Now, even though everything has turned out okay, it's only human to look back and wonder
03:27what might have been.
03:29What's surprising is that members of the Liberal Party are doing this as well.
03:31Now, I'm not suggesting they aren't human.
03:34Of course they're not.
03:36It's just not very helpful, that's all.
03:38Tony Abbott handled it beautifully, I thought, when someone asked him whether he could have
03:41done a better job during the campaign if he was PM.
03:45I think that's an entirely hypothetical question.
03:49I mean, he's right, of course, it was an entirely hypothetical question.
03:56The journalist wasn't asking him whether he'd actually done a better job as PM this election.
04:00That question, presumably, he would have been prepared to answer.
04:03Personally, I think he would have been great.
04:06His victory speech, when he won back the seat of Warringah, was more prime ministerial than
04:09anyone else's this election.
04:11And I think my mum's down the back there, where are you, mum?
04:16Mum?
04:17Mum's down the back there, very close to the bar, I believe.
04:22Because drinking to excess is funny, particularly when it's your mother.
04:34Very, very relatable.
04:36Actually, I'll tell you what, listen to me, I'll tell you who looked and sounded more
04:42prime ministerial than anybody else this last week, though, and that was John Howard.
04:47Do you remember him?
04:50Remember John?
04:51He used to actually be a prime minister many, many years ago, back in the olden days, when
04:55we used to have a surplus, and just before then, public utilities.
05:00And there's no rat-patting or ads about growing up poor in Vaucluse for him, no, no, no, no,
05:06no.
05:07Last week, he gave a speech about important things, like the war crimes he's accused of,
05:11and he did so not on a playground or at a watermelon factory or some other, oh, look at me, I'm just
05:17like you location.
05:18He did it at a podium in front of a blue backdrop flanked by two Australian flags.
05:23A set-up which, I assume, as ex-prime minister, he keeps in his garage for emergencies.
05:29And not only did he defend his decision to plunge our country into an unwinnable war because
05:34George promised him a necklace, and not only did he do what he does best and not apologise
05:39for anything, least of all his part in creating IS, he did something that Tony Abbott was too
05:44gutless to do, and he weighed in on the petty infighting of his own party.
05:48I just say to people who feel that this or that kidney of the party is being ignored,
05:55you stay in and fight.
05:56You don't start wandering off the reservation.
05:59Kidneys.
06:04It's a beautiful metaphor, isn't it?
06:09The Liberal Party is the renal system of the country, cleaning the bad blood with the right
06:15and left factional kidneys and then ridding the body politic of its urine by the organ
06:20of government.
06:21Of course, you only need one kidney to survive, but then who's it going to fight with?
06:26And if both of them wander off, then you're bound to end up with another leadership spill.
06:29But any incontinence caused by the government's duelling kidneys was staunched by the adult
06:36diaper that is Bob Catter, who was keen to support the Turnbull government if they needed
06:42him, pledging his loyalty for the greater good.
06:45I do so with no great enthusiasm and I maintain my right to move at any point of time in another
06:53direction.
06:54And this much needed support was further enhanced by the news of Liberal Party Federal Director
06:58Tony Nutt, not one of our made up names, and Tony Abbott having lunch three days after
07:04the election.
07:05Does Malcolm Turnbull know that you were in discussions with Tony Abbott just now?
07:08Thank you very much.
07:09I've had a nice pleasant lunch with Mr Abbott, who's a senior member of the parliamentary
07:15party.
07:16They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
07:25Anyway, like Tony, I think it's unhelpful to speculate on hypothetical questions.
07:29But if Mr Abbott does still have leadership ambitions, then he's certainly tightened his grip with
07:34the support of nut and bolt.
07:36But the government has got its lower house in order.
07:40That's the main thing.
07:41Where it might run into trouble though is with that lot upstairs.
07:46Now I'd like to go out on a bit of a limb here and treat these people with the respect
07:50that some of your less reputable news outlets like the Australian, the Western Australian,
07:56the Business Insider, the ABC and even news.com.au seem to delight in denying them.
08:02Take Darren Hinch for example, seen here on the left.
08:08He is like you and me and every person.
08:10Someone not afraid to go to jail for contempt of court or to admit he's never voted
08:14and yet still run for political office in a party with the word justice in the title.
08:18That takes guts.
08:20And Darren's serious about the job ahead of him and is quite prepared to go to court again
08:23if the major parties use the electoral act to relegate him to three years in the Senate
08:27instead of the six he's expecting.
08:29Major Domo to Darren Hinch, General Zod, surely it's hubris on Darren's part to say
08:35he's going to take the government to court.
08:37Why do you say this to me when you know that I must kill you for it?
08:41Well it's just that being the Justice Party I would have thought that Darren
08:44would have to start obeying the law now.
08:46Today begins a new order.
08:48Your lands, your possessions, your very lives will gladly be given in tribute to Darren Hinch.
08:55In return for your obedience you will enjoy his generous protection.
09:01Who else is seeing this?
09:03Um, well Offspring's on at the moment and MasterChef runs over so probably no one.
09:09Who is this MasterChef?
09:12Well it's a very popular cooking show.
09:14More popular than Darren?
09:16Sure, I mean if George Columbaris had run for the Senate, Darren would be back answering
09:19phones at 3OW.
09:21Come to me MasterChef, I defy you, come and kneel before Zod.
09:29Wow, that's the kind of invitation that Tony Jones offers on Q&A.
09:36Thank you General Zod.
09:40Still I'm sure the Senators will be able to put aside their egos and work together because
09:44they've got a lot more in common than you'd think.
09:46Fred Nile's Christian Democratic Party for example wants to amend Section 18C of the
09:50Racial Discrimination Act so that they can offend and insult people of different races and religions.
09:55So do Darren and Pauline Hanson.
09:59And Pauline for her part seems to have quite a lot in common with Jackie Lambie.
10:03Not only do they both like wearing the Australian flag as a cape, they both want no halal and
10:07a royal commission into Islam.
10:09Yet Jackie says she has serious concerns about Pauline's views and Pauline has accused Jackie
10:14of stealing her shoes.
10:18Jackie Lambie's Chief of Staff Dolly Norman, does it shock you that Jackie now seems one of
10:23the more reasonable crossbench Senators?
10:26Um Sean, Jackie has never been cross.
10:30Jackie has been what she always was.
10:34A feisty, one woman, assault team lone wolf.
10:39Um, she practically chewed off her own leg to escape from the clutches of the Palmer United
10:46and they're trapped.
10:48And she's perfectly prepared to do it again rather than join the dots with anyone else's
10:52shoes she steps in.
10:55By the back of!
10:58But on Jackie's policies on Muslims, they're very similar to Pauline's aren't they?
11:03One Nation wants CCTV and mosques and last year Jackie wanted to electronically tag Syrian refugees.
11:08Um, yeah Sean, I just hope you're only the ones coming into this country.
11:13Yeah, not the ones in Syria, um, because I mean that place is bloody full of them.
11:18It'd be so expensive.
11:20And Jackie is not an idiot.
11:22Yes, well I think we have footage of Jackie not being an idiot.
11:24I'm making sure that I'm putting Australia's safety first.
11:27That's what I'm doing.
11:28If that means that, um, we're going to monitor them with electronic bracelets on, then that's
11:33what we do.
11:34We need to discuss whether or not we should be putting electronic bracelets on them.
11:37Now, we're not putting them in detention centres as far as what I know.
11:41We're just going to, um, allow them, uh, to come in here and, um, integrate, uh, straight away.
11:47So all I'm asking for is safety precautions to be put in place.
11:50We must put Australians first and we must talk about how we're going to do this.
11:54And I'm just asking that electronic bracelets be put on the table.
11:58Oh, yeah.
12:00Particularly if that table has hello meat on it.
12:09If you don't like how the table is set, turn over the table.
12:13Another drama!
12:17Thank you, thank you, Dolly.
12:19But the question remains, how long will these senators last?
12:22Three years or six?
12:24Dr. Hannibal Chu, questions.
12:28Morphology, longevity, insect dates.
12:31I don't know such stuff.
12:33I just do eyes.
12:35Just eyes.
12:37Just genetic design.
12:38Just eyes.
12:40You're from JLN, huh?
12:42I design your eyes.
12:45Chu, if you could see what I've seen through your eyes.
12:49Oh, like the, um, Cadbury, um, chocolate factory in Claremont?
12:55I only do eyes.
12:57Uh, no, I'm good.
13:01But the biggest threat to the coalition being able to run this country the way Malcolm wants
13:04is this senator, whose almost naked ambition was never more rampant than in his announcement last week that he was forming a movement.
13:12A movement to unite Australian Conservatives regardless of their party affiliation.
13:16Mind you, I'm not sure quite how seriously we should take Corey given that he appears to have drawn his logo with a crayon.
13:22And if the Conservatives are worried Labor will be soft on borders, isn't it strange that Corey's version of Australia doesn't even have any borders?
13:31Dolly, would you, uh, would you like to throw the ads?
13:35Oh, yeah, that'd be gross, Sean, yeah.
13:38Um, still to come, later in the week.
13:40Very good.
13:43Oh, thank you.
13:45Now available from ABC shops for the very first time is the ABC's unique blend of Insider's Coffee.
13:52Marvel as you discover that freshly brewed Insider's Coffee is routinely and regularly ignored by guests week after week,
14:00saving you time and money as cups and sauces are left unsoiled.
14:04Insider's Coffee's rich, smooth and freshly roasted taste will remain an untested claim as guests, regardless of political persuasion, consistently refuse to touch it.
14:16Insider's Coffee, free and now available in handy silo packs.
14:23Welcome back.
14:24Well, I think it's important when you're a multi-award winning comedy show like us to not only be funny but also tell people how to live their lives.
14:30Health and safety has always been one thing, or two if you count them correctly, that we're very concerned about here at Mad-As.
14:38And that we're happy to give advice on instead of actually entertaining you with content.
14:42All part of the service here at the Mad-As Help Desk.
14:44Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, Mad-As, help desk.
14:51Now in the last couple of months we've seen quite a few product safety recourse for a variety of products.
14:56The Arlec Handheld Work Light for risk of fire, the Kmart Metal Chair for entrapment or laceration hazard,
15:03the IKEA Latjo Bat Cape for risk of strangulation or injuries to the neck,
15:07and the Ariston and Indeset Domestic Tumble Dryer for risk of fire.
15:11Then there was the Well and Good Chocolate Mud Cake Mix for the presence of dairy,
15:16the Supreme Powerful Bleach Cleaner for fluid leaking from the bottle,
15:19the Dimples Infant Sleeping Bag for press studs posing a potential choking hazard,
15:23the KuChef Digital Glass Kettle for the top of the handle coming loose or detaching,
15:28the Aldi Imperial Grain Brown Rice Cups for potential growth of mould,
15:32and the Kmart Homemaker Fan for electric shock.
15:36Coral Tunt, these sorts of products, safety recourse,
15:40came a little late for you, didn't they?
15:42Tell us what happened.
15:43Well, I was in the kitchen, I'd made a Well and Good Chocolate Mud Cake for my youngest, Selina,
15:49she's two, and was just sitting down to some Aldi Imperial Grain Fried Rice for my dinner,
15:55when I saw Selina put one of the press studs from the Dimples Infant Sleeping Bag in her mouth.
15:59She starts choking, so I rush over and she vomits it up all over the sleeping bag,
16:03so I grab some Supreme Powerful Bleach Cleaner to clean it up,
16:07and the bottle leaks bleach all over my hands, burning them very badly.
16:10So I grab the KuChef Digital Glass Kettle to pour some cold water over them,
16:15but the handle comes loose and the kettle falls on my foot, breaking three toes.
16:19So I pick up the body of the kettle with my blistering hands and limp over to the sleeping bag
16:24and pour water on it to wash off the bleach and vomit,
16:26then limp back with the wet sleeping bag and put it in the Ariston domestic tumble dryer.
16:30But when I turn that on, it catches fire,
16:34so I take the wet sleeping bag out of the dryer and use it to smother the flames.
16:38Of course, the house is full of smoke by now, so I turn on the Kmart Homemaker fan to clear it,
16:43and I get an electric shock and collapse unconscious.
16:46When Selina's screaming woke me up, the house was in darkness,
16:49the dryer had shorted the circuit, so I grab the Arlick handheld work light and turn that on.
16:54But then that caught fire, burning my already scalded hands,
16:57but thankfully the flames from the burning work light lit up the room,
16:59enough for me to see that Selina was screaming,
17:02because she got the IKEA Lagico back cape on and it's caught around her neck and choking her.
17:07So I limp over to her and struggle to get it off with my red raw hands,
17:11until finally I sit down exhausted in the Kmart metal chair,
17:14lacerating the ankle on my good foot as Selina, who's dairy intolerant,
17:19vomits up the mud cake all over my mouldy fried rice, which was a blessing.
17:22Well, Cole, thank you so much for telling us your important story,
17:26and please accept with our compliments this mad as hell gift pack of unregistered insect repellent,
17:31better than tablets that may contain a completely different drug,
17:34and IKEA safety gates that pose a significant risk to children.
17:37Oh, lovely.
17:38To non-political news now, and as most of you know, greyhound racing has been banned in New South Wales,
17:44which means that many of us will now have to gamble on something else.
17:47But what?
17:49Oh, that's right, everything else that exists.
17:51But what about those of us who don't like to be told what to do by big government?
17:55What about our right to do what we want without even thinking about it?
17:57One man whose livelihood has been ruined by Mike Baird's big brother nanny state approach to the skinny dog industry is Tinker Baboon.
18:06Sean, it's been a tough week, not only for the punters, as you've mentioned, but also my business.
18:12That's building fake rabbits.
18:14That's right, Sean. I've been in the artificial bunny racket for three months now, and this news has devastated me.
18:19As you can see, I'm pretty good at it. I mean, I defy you to tell the difference between this one and another one that's in my bag that's exactly the same.
18:25But what about the punters, Tink? Can't they bet on another animal that runs around in a circle like a horse or a lobotomised monkey?
18:32Horses are predators, Sean. They'd no sooner be chasing one of my fake rabbits than Yana Pitman.
18:38And even if I could retool my factory to start making fake cubes of sugar, I think the sight of a bunch of horses running after an electronically powered condiment would be frankly ridiculous.
18:47No, my only option is to release these fellas into the wild and let them fend for themselves.
18:51I don't know how they're going to go out there in the food chain with no need to participate in it.
18:56I can only hope that some virus or cane toad is introduced in a few years' time to control their numbers.
19:00Yes, I'm sure they'll be fine.
19:02Bye-bye, Bugs.
19:04I call him Bugs because he's riddled with lice.
19:07Well, do get on with it.
19:08Well, do get on with it.
19:21Well, still to come later in the week.
19:27The fairytale story of a simple man with a vision of the Australian dream, complicated by a world awake to the sound of noises.
19:41Oh, yeah.
19:42Well, I remember we were at a middle-aged Liberal Party function.
19:47Jeanette and I were arguing over Prue Goward.
19:50She was lying unconscious on the table between us.
19:53And the day Paddy came up and said,
19:55I said, Robert wants to speak to you.
19:57He's out in the car park.
19:58I said, Paddy, I said, Paddy, Sir Robert's been dead for 12 years.
20:02Must be hallucinating again.
20:03And she said, no, no, he's there.
20:06He's in the back of my truck.
20:08So I went out and had a look.
20:11And sure enough, there was Sir Robert covered in mud, chained to the roll bar of Dame Paddy's ute.
20:17He was incoherent, of course, and raving and trying to bite us.
20:21Apparently during the sewers crisis he'd been mauled by a zombie.
20:26He hadn't taken his precautions and, well, you know, that came back to haunt him.
20:29It was a valuable lesson on the nature of politics and one I never forgot.
20:36No.
20:38Oh, I didn't forget that one.
20:40Speaking of John Howard, let's have a look at the Chilcot Report.
20:50The Chilcot Report into the war in Iraq has been released.
20:53And Freak Me Sideways, it's a 12-volume, 2.6 million-word report.
21:00Now, I'll not lie to you, I haven't had time to read it all, but my researcher has summarised it for me on a post-it note.
21:07Pansy, I only got to skim the post-it note. What does it say in general terms?
21:11Well, Sean, it says that at 2.6 million words, if you sat down and read just one word of the Chilcot Report every year for the rest of your life, it would take you 2.6 million years to finish.
21:23Or, as I wrote on Emma Alberici's post-it note, it's around four times the size of war and peace.
21:29Is that a fair comparison to make, Pansy? Leo Tolstoy's masterwork and the Chilcot Report?
21:36I think so, Sean. One's a work of fiction based on historical facts, the other's a work of historical facts based on hysterical fiction.
21:43Right.
21:45But when...
21:47Yes, but when Napoleon invaded Russia, it wasn't to control their oil fields, was it?
21:51Someone would have to ask Napoleon that, Sean.
21:55Was it?
21:57Yeah.
22:01Now, all this talk of other countries does sound suspiciously like...
22:06News from countries that aren't Australia brought to you by...
22:10Proud sponsors of Right Minded with Caspar Jonquil.
22:14And what about the price of fags?
22:16If I was a smoke ride, throw an industrial quantity of tobacco into a power station combustion turbine and stand around the smokestack inhaling.
22:22Then it legally counts as carbon abatement and I'm eligible for credits from the Emissions Reduction Fund.
22:26The government would have to pay me!
22:28Wednesday nights at 11.59.
22:31Well, China has finished constructing the world's largest radio telescope at a cost of $185 million.
22:37It's pretty expensive for a Chinese dish. I don't care how much complimentary green tea comes with it.
22:42To Lithuania now, where a town has held its annual goat beauty pageant.
22:57Can you believe the UK voted to leave this sort of shit?
23:03Goats came from all around Lithuania for the pomp and circumstance and the chance to be chosen by a local member of parliament, the head of the local school and a cucumber farmer.
23:11The most beautiful goat was crowned in a fairytale ceremony that the locals are still talking about today.
23:19See? I assume she's talking Lithuanian.
23:22The lucky winner was Little Spot and her shepherd Aramantis Calvitas joins us now.
23:28Aramantis, you must be delighted.
23:31Oh, Sean, it is like a dream come true.
23:34Look how beautiful she is, eh?
23:36Yes, she's lovely.
23:38Of course, some people say it is wrong to judge a goat by the way she looks, like she's some slab of meat.
23:43But she is very smart and did very well in the question-answer section on world politics.
23:50And what she would do if she was UN Secretary General, I think that is why the judges choose her, particularly cucumber farmer.
23:59What are her duties now that she's queen?
24:02Mainly ceremonial, Sean.
24:03She does not exert actual authority in Lithuania in terms of passing legislation or ordering execution of criminals.
24:12But she visit hospital, that sort of thing.
24:16Wouldn't that be a little unhygienic?
24:18It is a risk she is prepared to take, Sean.
24:21In order to spread joy and enchantment, eh, it must be said quite a bit of poop to those in need.
24:30Yes, I don't think it needed to be said.
24:32Later on in the show, the discovery of a vast supply of helium in Tanzania's Rift Valley and how it will help alleviate worldwide shortages.
24:40We'll be crossing to Dar es Salaam, where a dangerous gas leak is threatening the entire operation.
24:45So you've stopped the leak?
24:47Absolutely, the boys have it under control. They're a good team.
24:51Are you sure though? Because it sounds to me a bit like...
24:53Sean, I've been capping gas wells for 30 years now. I think I know what I'm doing.
24:56These worker bees will spend two years building their hive. When they have saved up enough money, they will leave the hive and spend a week living on this woman in Guernsey.
25:07It will give them a chance to unwind, relax and sting her repeatedly.
25:12Sean McAuliffe's holidaying worker bees of the Channel Isles. Sunday, 7.43 on ABC.
25:19Well, heads have rolled over the Brexit. David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Michael Gove and Andrea Leadsom are all now considerably shorter, having bared their necks to the unyielding blade of public opinion.
25:29But what does this mean for Britain and, less importantly, Europe? It's a question which requires a very special wisdom of the Elders.
25:46Well, Your Royal Highness, first of all, thank you so much for very graciously agreeing to this interview.
25:50Oh, it's a pleasure. Waitrose Dutchy organic beetroot?
25:53No, thank you, Your Royal Highness. Very kind.
25:55Very well. Oh, incidentally, don't worry about all this Your Royal Highness nonsense. Feel free to call me Your Highness.
26:01Dropping the Royal might, anyway, appeal to your Australian Republican tendencies, I think.
26:06It's very good, Your Highness. Yes.
26:08Fermented stoat?
26:10No, no, no, thank you.
26:12Your Royal Highness to Your Highness, sorry.
26:14Can I ask you how you felt about leaving the European Union?
26:19Well, I was of two minds about it, really. On one hand, of course, I am European.
26:23My father is Greek. My great-great-grandmother, of course, was German, so it's in my blood.
26:28And an enormous importance to my sense of being.
26:31On the other mind, I couldn't care less and didn't even bother voting.
26:34To Mummy, of course, it's terribly important. Terribly.
26:37I mean, it's all relative, I suppose, isn't it?
26:39Particularly Camilla, who is my cousin, my relative, and, of course, that's why I was instantly attracted to her.
26:44Three-range eel.
26:46I couldn't. Go on.
26:47No, thank you. Just have three.
26:48No, thank you, Your Highness. It's very calm.
26:50Um, can I ask you, then, whether the Duchess of Cornwall was disappointed at Brexit?
26:55Well, I, you'd have to ask her, I suppose.
26:57She's not here at the moment, as you can plainly see by looking around the room.
27:00Unless she's under the table. She might be hiding there.
27:03She's got a marvellous sense of humour, as Camilla.
27:05She may have gone under there, you see.
27:06I see.
27:07But I don't think so on this occasion. I think she's out in the garden, uh, draining the weasel.
27:10Well, I don't want to disturb her if she's in...
27:11No, no, no. I don't mean that quite literally. She actually drains weasels.
27:15It's part of our environmental work we do here in What's Left of Britain.
27:18We capture waterlogged weasels and ferrets and what have you, and empty them out into the Thames.
27:23And they're much happier for it, and really is concerned.
27:26In fact, Francis, though I call you that, there's something I'd like you to see.
27:29My equerry will give you a letter of introduction and accompany you.
27:31If you'd like to follow me, Mr Greenslade.
27:35Just through here, if you will.
27:38And enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself.
27:40Oh, tuck into the eel.
27:41Thank you very much, Francis.
27:52Well, not coming up because Catherine Tate's on in a minute.
27:56MP fails to convince Parliament he's Prime Minister.
28:00People smugglers take advantage of increased carry-on baggage allowance.
28:04And Cory Bernardi starts new conservative outlaw motorcycle gang.
28:11Well, finally, there's a new force in federal politics that's gone under the radar, in my opinion.
28:16The top three players in terms of the first preferences in the House of Reps are the Coalition parties,
28:21Labour and the Greens on 9.9% of the vote.
28:24The fourth highest is the informal party on 5.1%.
28:26In fact, more people voted informal than voted for the National Party, which must put pressure on Barnaby Joyce to stand aside in favour of not having a leader or running a campaign.
28:37The informal party also spent nothing on advertising, although they did have a much more clear and effective logo.
28:43Goodbye.
28:44Goodbye.
28:46It's all right, baby.
28:51Banana bravo!
