00:00Well, it's chaos. It's a government in chaos. We've got a zombie prime minister who's more
00:04worried about saving his job than anybody else's. And local town halls are going to really have to
00:09scrabble to get these elections back on track. It's going to cost the taxpayers a fortune that
00:15it needn't have. And all of the safety rails and mechanisms turn out not to have applied because
00:21the high court looks likely to have overruled them. So completely wrong. Conservatives opposed
00:27this many times in parliament. The government didn't listen. They barreled the head. And now
00:32it's going to cost everybody. And we've got a government of chaos.
