00:12Hello and welcome to The Weekly. I'm Charlie Pickering. A huge show for you tonight. Rhys
00:17Nicholson wonders if we're all living in a simulation. Star of the new ABC series Dog
00:21Park, Celia Pocola joins me at the desk. And a hard chat rematch ten years in the making.
00:26The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, goes head to head with Tom Gleeson. And as always
00:34we've watched all the news so that you don't have to. So let's get this show on the road
00:38with The Week. It's a Thursday and a very public break up in Canberra. The coalition is imploding.
00:48The coalition has imploded. The federal opposition has imploded again. The coalition splitting
00:54up this time over Labor's new hate speech laws. The Nationals sensationally splitting from
00:59the Liberals. Our party room has made it very clear we cannot be part of a shadow ministry
01:04under Susan Lee. The Liberals and Nationals are splitting and everyone wants to know who's
01:09getting Queensland in the divorce. Three Nat Senators refused to vote with the Libs triggering
01:15mass resignations and leaving the coalition in tatters. But David Littleproud insisted discussions
01:20with Susan Lee had been perfectly civil. She asked, out of respect, that we had amendments.
01:26I, out of respect to her, went back to our room. And out of respect to her, our shadow ministry
01:32did not vote and we've been respectful. That is a lot of respect. And Aretha Franklin of respect.
01:37But in any divorce you've got to keep things nice for the sake of the kids. Or in the coalition's
01:44case, the self-funded retirees. Well then, my good man, let the respecting begin.
01:49David Littleproud rang you and yelled down the phone. It was unhinged. Is that true?
01:55Look, I'm not going to reflect on private conversations.
01:57It so happened. Parliament HR said this would qualify as workplace intimidation if David
02:04Littleproud was in any way capable of being intimidating. So after imploding over hate speech,
02:10the Liberals immediately dusted off a little bit of hate speech.
02:13Senior Liberal figures and members of the shadow cabinet then unleashed on David Littleproud.
02:18These are from senior Liberal shadow cabinet ministers. One says he's a pathological liar.
02:25David Littleproud is paralysed by fear. He's impossible to deal with. David Littleproud has
02:29lied through this process. I would trust Pauline Hanson before I trusted David Littleproud.
02:34Now, Pauline, if you're watching, you might take that as a compliment, but I assure you it is not.
02:42Barnaby Joyce was just thrilled to see a coalition scandal that for once didn't involve him.
02:47This puts Richard Burton and Liz Taylor to shame. This is more marriages than a weekend at the
02:56Gold Coast. Barnaby, did you get shitfaced to get married five times on a weekend on the
03:01Gold Coast again? By Friday, with Susan Lay's leadership looking terminal,
03:07Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie were doing the numbers for a spill.
03:10Charles Croucher reported the story as patronisingly as possible.
03:14Phones are being worked. People are being canvassed. They're trying to sort numbers. Now,
03:18thankfully for the Liberals, it's a smaller party room than usual because of the last election,
03:22so those numbers should be pretty easy to work out.
03:24Yeah, bad news guys, we're doing another spill, but good news, we don't gotta count too high.
03:31One big winner in all of this is Pauline Hanson. In the latest news poll, One Nation was ahead of
03:36the coalition in primary vote for the very first time, with speculation they could even one day form
03:42government. So, how confident is Pauline about stepping into the lodge?
03:48Can One Nation form government?
03:59Hey, hey, hey, she was put on the spot. She didn't have time to prepare. Look,
04:02I tell you what, have a bit of time. Pauline, have another go at it.
04:05Look, I wanted to start off with something pretty simple.
04:10Do you want to become Prime Minister of this country?
04:15Well, I'm convinced. But the biggest winner from this coalition shitshow seems to be Anthony
04:21Albanese. He's just gone, stuff this, I'm gonna kick back with my PlayStation. See you at the next
04:26election! Still to come, conspiracy hunter Rhys Nicholson wonders if reality is even real. Plus,
04:33the PM and Tom Gleeson return to the weekly for a piece of TV history. But first, our guest tonight
04:39is
04:39one of Australia's most loved actors and comedians. You know her from Utopia and Rosehaven, now she's
04:45back with Dog Park, a new comedy drama about finding connection whilst holding a warm plastic bag.
04:52Hi, Rowan. Hello. Samantha. Oh, you left without your lead, so I just thought I'd drop it off.
04:57And then I thought, since I'm here, why don't I see if Beattie wants to come to the park?
05:00Oh. It's just Muffet and I, me, uh, we, anyway, we, us, uh, we're going for the evening session,
05:05and... No, thanks. No. It's just you seem busy and I'm afraid to take it, that's all. I am,
05:09whilst forward, so... Yes? So, is that a... No? I'm just trying to be nice. That's what I'm trying
05:14to do. Yeah. It does seem hard for you. Please welcome the woman with the best initials in show
05:20business, Celia Pakwola! Hey, CP. Good evening. First of all, as a dog person... Yes, you are. Yes.
05:30Oh. Mm-hmm. This is my dream job, to get paid to just hang out with dogs. That is wonderful.
05:34Mm-hmm. Are you a dog person? Ah... You liar! You lied!
05:40I can't stand them. This was a nightmare. Wow. No, I lie. I love, I love dogs. I have had
05:47dogs
05:47in the past. I can't have any dogs now. I'm allowed. They don't have, like, a restraining order against me.
05:52Oh, good to know. Good to know. They're not, like, Celia's not allowed to hear any dogs. I can't because
05:55I
05:55travel and my life and whatever, and, um, so I have to find other ways to hang out with other
06:01people's dogs, ideally for work, which is why I did this. So, generally, working with the dogs was,
06:06was really nice. I mean, one, one scene where I was doing quite a dramatic performance, um,
06:11when one of the dogs just went in front of me and just took a shit. Just, like, full eye
06:16contact,
06:17and it was hard to not take that as a comment on my performance.
06:19I really wanted to go, all right, tell me what you really think. I thought it was,
06:23I thought I was feeling it, for real. People are used to seeing you doing comedy, Rosehaven,
06:29Utopia, but this is a drama, and you're not playing, like, the quirk, well, funny drama.
06:34It's tricky to talk about it because it is a combination of things, and I know people use
06:37that word dramedy to refer to a comedy slash drama. I prefer co-mama.
06:46Has that been catching on at all? It has not caught on.
06:49Oh, I see, yeah.
06:50Co-mama. What a dramedy.
06:52Yeah, comedy drama, it's set in a dog park, and it's really, I'm not even the lead,
06:56the lead and co-creator and writer is Leon Ford, and he plays this, like, grumpy, deeply unhappy
07:02man who does not like dogs or people and gets sort of drawn into this community of dog-loving
07:08randoms who form this little dog park pack and what that does to the relationships.
07:13The only thing for this show that is not realistic to my experience in dog parks is in this,
07:17everyone knows each other's names, whereas in my experience in dog park, it's like,
07:20that's Pretzel's dad, that's Donut's mum.
07:24I'm terrible with human names, and I remember every dog name in the world.
07:27Well, of course, but also you'd remember a person's name if their name was Donut.
07:30Yeah, that is absolutely true.
07:32Is it like, this is my sister, her name's Pringles, you're like, come on.
07:36So, as well as the new TV show, you have got a new stand-up show that's going to be
07:40touring around.
07:41Yes.
07:42Am I right, you weren't actually planning to do a show?
07:44No, I was not going to do a show, and then, for my 42nd birthday, my boyfriend gave me an
07:50inflatable kayak.
07:52Did you want a kayak?
07:53Did I want it?
07:54Yeah.
07:55Let me put it this way.
07:58On the morning of my 42nd birthday, when I walked out into the living room,
08:01and I found an inflated, inflatable kayak, and I said, it's a kayak.
08:09Was the first time I've ever said the word kayak.
08:14And it is now not only the basis of a national tour, but something that has changed me forever.
08:18I know. I know.
08:20You can catch Celia in Dog Park from 8.30 this Sunday on ABC and iview.
08:26And if you are stuck for presents, she is touring nationally with the show Gift Horse.
08:29Buy a ticket, give it to a friend, or just to yourself.
08:32Or just buy a kayak.
08:33Would you please?
08:33Thanks. Celia Pakola!
08:37Thank you so much.
08:38The holidays are over, so it's time for the weekly's Back to Work, Canberra edition.
08:46When the PM called everyone back to Parliament a week early...
08:49Parliament to be called, re-called next Monday and Tuesday.
08:54..it caught our elected officials a little off guard.
08:58Morning.
08:59And racing in from their summer holidays cut short, what a ragtag team of misfits they are.
09:05Morning, Sam.
09:06Right, let's go.
09:06Some wore nice clothes, some brought extra clothes, and some had bought their clothes at Bunnings.
09:14Hey guys, how are you going?
09:15Nice hoodie, Matt.
09:16Others had been stocking up at Coles, terrified the canteen may not be open yet.
09:21Happy New Year.
09:22Looks like Banana Man's hungry, but mostly they were all eager to have a chat.
09:27Is the government going to reach a deal on these hate speech laws?
09:30Is that a deal done?
09:31Yes.
09:31Going to be doing a deal on these hate speech laws?
09:33Are you hoping to see a deal done on these hate speech laws?
09:35Are you going to reach a deal?
09:37Oh, look, our boy's s***ed a bit, hasn't he?
09:39Language.
09:40And while some brought their children, others were forced to borrow clothes from their children.
09:45Thank you, Bob.
09:46While some had come straight from the beach, slash pub, slash night spent in a bus shelter.
09:51No doubt this plucky bunch of youngsters, paid handsomely with our tax dollars, will crack on in
09:572026, running this country the best way they know how.
10:01I certainly hope so.
10:03To Saturday, and a wayward prince finally had his day in court.
10:08No, not that one.
10:10The other one.
10:11Prince Harry is back in a London court for the first day of his latest lawsuit against British tabloids.
10:17Harry and several other high-profile plaintiffs accused the Daily Mail's publisher of hacking
10:22their phones and then illegally obtaining private health records.
10:26He's breaking a long-standing, rigid royal family tradition.
10:30And he said as much in court.
10:32He was always instructed to follow the Windsor ethos, never complain, never explain.
10:38It's much like their other rhyming ethos.
10:41Hold your head high, defend the family banner, and if anyone asks, the Queen didn't kill Diana.
10:46Harry is fighting for justice against inhumane treatment by media organisations.
10:52Channel 9 showed their sensitivity to Harry's plight by shouting at him through a metal fence.
10:57Another babble against the tabloids, will this be the last one?
11:01I'm surprised that didn't work.
11:03With Channel 9 getting nothing, Channel 7 tried something different.
11:07Shouting at Harry through a metal fence.
11:09How did you find day one, Harry?
11:11Good.
11:11Happy with day one?
11:13Very good.
11:13Yeah, you see Channel 9, that is how you do it.
11:18Amid claims that the tabloids impersonated people to access private information, Britain's
11:23GB News showed they'd learned their lesson.
11:26We've got a Prince Harry look-alike and he has recreated those moments from inside the courtroom.
11:32Settle in.
11:33Following the death of my mother in 1997 when I was 12 years old and her treatment at the hands
11:39of the press, I've always had an uneasy relationship with them.
11:43It's fundamentally wrong.
11:45It's a horrible experience.
11:47Fundamentally wrong, a horrible experience.
11:50Coincidentally, my review of this news coverage.
11:53Things escalated when they went from critiquing Harry via the impersonator to just critiquing
11:58the impersonator playing Harry.
12:00The situation got worse when she became pregnant and after our son Archie was born.
12:05He's a very good actor, he's got a lot more hair than Prince Harry.
12:08This is the bit where his bottom lip quivered as he spoke about the impact the media had
12:14on his poor wife, Meghan.
12:16They continue to come after me.
12:18They've made my wife's life an absolute misery, my lord.
12:25Wow, the Oscar goes too.
12:27The actor who played Harry has since fled to the US after being harassed by the British press.
12:32To Sunday and trouble with Britain's other royal family.
12:36David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son has launched a blistering spray at his parents,
12:42accusing them of trying to control his image, finances and marriage.
12:46Brooklyn Beckham says my family values public promotion and endorsements above all else.
12:52Bran Beckham comes first.
12:54Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest, who's aired a lot of dirty linen in public.
12:58It is always sad to see families airing their dirty laundry in public.
13:03Even if they're famous for airing their dirty laundry in public.
13:08Brooklyn said it all began when his mum hijacked the first dance at his wedding in 2022.
13:14He accused the former Spice Girl of hijacking their first dance.
13:18The schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mum was waiting
13:23to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.
13:30I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Um, you know, if he doesn't want Victoria Beckham to dance on him, I'll take it
13:37for free.
13:37I've shown many Edwards.
13:38Every bloke in the world. I'm sure point about that.
13:41Caleb Bond somehow simultaneously giving off gross teenager and creepy uncle vibes.
13:47And strongly implying that the only reason he hasn't hooked up with his own mother is because
13:51she is not hot enough.
13:53Having missed the yelling at Prince Harry through a fence exclusive,
13:57Channel 9 weren't leaving anything to chance.
13:59Here at the Beckham's townhouse in London, it's all quiet. The blinds are down and a parcel is
14:05waiting to be collected. It seems like the family isn't home.
14:12It's almost as if this is a complete waste of time. Hannah Sinclair, London.
14:18Now in these high profile spats, it's hard to know who is really to blame. Thankfully,
14:24Fox News uncovered the real culprit.
14:26I think this is reflective of society. More broadly speaking, we're seeing this breakdown
14:30of the family unit. It's an intentional push we've seen at the left. We saw it in
14:34Stalin, uh, Soviet Union, as well, turning children against their parents, as well as in China under Mao.
14:41Of course, of course, when a Nepo baby is fighting on Instagram with his football star
14:47dad and his Spice Girl mum, there could only be one person responsible. Damn you, Chairman Mao!
14:57Coming up in a tick,
14:58we make TV history when Tom Gleeson and Albo return to the weekly for a very special hard
15:04chat. But first, to Monday. And in Taipei, a rock climber has scaled a 500 metre skyscraper
15:11with no ropes, no net and no safety gear. It was shown live on Netflix with a floating
15:17classification. It started out as PG, but one false move and it could switch to R for the last three
15:24seconds. Moving on. And ever since COVID conspiracies swept the globe back in 2020, doing our own research
15:32has really gotten a pretty bad name. But one brave warrior is working to change all that.
15:38Here to put their 5G implant to great use, it's Rhys Nicholson!
15:46Hello Charles!
15:48Hi Rhys, I feel like I haven't seen you round much.
15:50I clicked on one TikTok video and three hours later, I'm watching someone explain mouth
15:56taping, cold plunges and why reality isn't real anymore. And surprise, surprise, none of this
16:02matters. Right, so you're getting your information from TikTok now?
16:06Yes, me and seven billion other people, which is kind of the problem. Conspiracy theories are
16:12having a big moment online, especially on TikTok where short videos, big claims and zero context makes
16:18absolute garbage feel sort of convincing. Right, so these are new theories?
16:24Nope! They're the same ideas we've always had, just repackaged to fit our shrinking attention spans.
16:31Right, and everyone thinks they've cracked something. Sure, everyone's doing their own research,
16:36and by research I mean watching some guy live stream from his Toyota Corolla telling us to wake up!
16:43So I did what any responsible government employee would do. I claimed an office and a comm car and
16:49began my own thorough investigation, which has resulted in my new segment, Welcome to Conspiracy's
16:57Theorices!
17:00Let me guess, you came up with the title before the segment?
17:04It worked for you.
17:05Oh. And what are we starting with?
17:08Simulation theory.
17:10Oh right, so are we in a simulation?
17:12I don't know, but if we are, I have some feedback. Roll the tape!
17:26Hold on, I'm just waiting to see if my Sim gets to the toilet in time before he dies of
17:31shame.
17:32Ah, he's got too many times for today!
17:35Nah, you've pissed yourself. No shower for you!
17:38I love The Sims. You create people, you try to get them to woohoo, they disappoint you,
17:43so you build a wall around them and let them starve. It's part interior design, part despotism.
17:49But lately, and this could be the prescription gummies talking, I've been thinking,
17:55what if we're The Sims? What if someone out there is controlling everything we do and then just
18:00restarting the game every time they get bored? This is a real thing that people
18:05believe. It's called simulation theory. Basically, it's that everything we see and feel is just
18:11part of a giant computer program. I'm in. There are loads of glitch in the Matrix videos on TikTok.
18:19People say deja vu is a glitch. Repeated patterns are a glitch. People say deja vu is a glitch.
18:25Charles wearing the same suit every episode. That's a glitch. I am an absolute horse's ass.
18:31And it's not just weird, busted units living in their mother's basements that believe this. It's
18:36also weird, busted units on the Forbes rich list. The argument for the simulation, I think,
18:41is quite strong. Billions of possible realities and every single one of them, Elon Musk is
18:46unf***able. Then there's the philosopher who gave this theory academic legitimacy, Nick Bostrom.
18:53We are living in a computer simulation. So the hypothesis is meant to be understood in a literal
18:58sense. There is some advanced civilization who built a lot of computers and that what we experience
19:05is an effect of what's going on inside one of those computers. And this isn't even a new idea.
19:12Philosophers were onto this centuries ago. In fact, Plato literally wrote about humans living in some giant
19:18fake reality and he didn't even own a computer. Or pants. The real question is, why would anyone
19:25simulate human beings? I mean, why bother? Some people think we're a science experiment. Others say
19:32we're entertainment. Which makes this segment kind of a head f*** because that means that someone
19:38programmed me, Reece Nicholson, a natural redhead with a zest for life, to become a comedian,
19:43work my arse off, get a job on this show, only to be explaining simulation theory to you from
19:49inside the simulation. I mean, at that point, just pop me in the pool and delete the ladder.
19:55And look, all of this could be garbage, but lots of people believe in a sky-based man who's controlling
20:01everything. So who am I to judge? Should we be taking this seriously? Some scientists say,
20:07maybe, most, say no. Oh, s***, Sim Charlie's on fire. Yeah, look, you probably deserve that.
20:16So maybe simulation theory isn't real. Or maybe whoever's controlling the program has gone to annoy
20:23their sister. Nah, piss yourself, no shower for you. I love the simps. Anyone else feel deja vu?
20:47To Tuesday and our regular segment on the insane ramblings of the leader of the free world.
20:54What the f*** is it?
20:57This week, Trump headed to Davos, Switzerland and unveiled his latest creation, the Board of Peace.
21:04President Donald Trump wants to form his own United Nations and charge world leaders $1.5
21:10billion to join. This board has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created.
21:17And it's my enormous honor to serve as its chairman. The Board of Peace is designed to implement the 20
21:23point peace plan for Gaza. He will be the chairman of this Board of Peace. He will uniquely decide
21:30who gets to sit around the table and who doesn't. He will be the chairman, by the way, in perpetuity.
21:36Perpetual chairman of the Board of Peace, because eternal grand super emperor of the whole wide
21:42world forever was just too obvious. Observers say this is all part of Trump's new approach to
21:49diplomacy. In foreign policy, President Trump does this thing where, you know, young people talk about
21:53manifesting. He likes to manifest things into being. And the amazing thing is when the president does
21:58this, sometimes it works. He's manifesting. Yes. And when he was asked if he'd read the secret,
22:04Trump said, would everyone just shut up about the Epstein files?
22:08For those concerned that Trump wants to replace the UN with a knockoff version that only includes
22:13America, don't worry, because he also unveiled the Board of Peace logo, a gold-plated knockoff version
22:20that only includes America. Perfect. So who's been invited to join this Board of Peace?
22:26Anthony Albanese is among a select list of world leaders handpicked by Donald Trump to join his
22:32new Board of Peace for Gaza. The list of who's been invited to join contains an odd mix of world
22:38leaders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko,
22:43and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Have you invited President Putin to be a member of the
22:49Board of Peace? Yeah, he's been invited. Finally, Putin and Zelensky can come together and bring peace
22:57to Gaza. Hail Chairman Trump!
23:05And so we arrive on Wednesday and something of a milestone for the weekly. Recently, we marked the
23:1110th anniversary of a moment that changed Australian politics forever. The moment Anthony Albanese began
23:17his transformation from political duffer to electoral powerhouse. That's right, it was one decade ago that
23:24Anthony Albanese appeared on Hardchat with political kingmaker Tom Gleeson.
23:29You've got an inner city electorate. Did you smoke weed at high school? This is your chance to win
23:36over a few, you know, your people. I'm not going to answer any of that. What about
23:41meth? I didn't even know meth existed until recently. Since then, Albo became PM and Tom has largely kept a
23:51very low profile. To give us an update on he and the PM's very special relationship, it's Tom Gleeson.
23:58Hi Charlie, I'm back. Now Tom, watching that must bring back some special memories.
24:06Yeah, well remember Hardchat was a segment that started in the very first series, it was ages ago,
24:11and so we got this no-hoper that no one had heard of called Anthony Albanese on,
24:16just to pump up his tyres a little bit. But in the middle of the segment, something weird happened.
24:22You'll still be here, no doubt, in a decade. I'll be hosting Charlie's show.
24:27You'll be hosting. Sure, it'll be your show. Yeah.
24:30You can have me on and we can talk about... Well, I'll decide on the day.
24:37Well, thanks for chatting. Hard. Yeah, so he said we'll do it again. So anyway, the Prime Minister's
24:43office, you know, reached out to us to do Hardchat again because I think they're desperate for some
24:48kind of PR win. And so, at the end of last year, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary.
24:56Welcome to Hardchat. I'm joined by the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. Thanks
25:00for joining me. Good to be with you, Tom. Let's chat. Hard!
25:04Fulfilling a commitment. Yeah. 10 years ago.
25:06I brought it back for you, you know. Excellent. I brought it out of retirement. Because I've
25:10outgrown this segment. Well, you've got your own show now. I know. Now I'm slumming it on Charlie's
25:15show. What's this about here? If it does a shit in here, you've got to pick it up. No. Okay.
25:21You're just trying to soften up your image. Because this is a soft interview, really,
25:25despite it being called Hardchat and you're just trying to look like a good bloke by having a dog.
25:28Whereas really, I want to get it put down. Outrageous. Yeah, well... You just lost a lot of support there,
25:36Tom.
25:36National voters would like what I said. There's a lot of national voters who will not vote for you
25:40because of that fluffy dog. Now, when you got back from the US, you were given a hard time for
25:45wearing
25:45a Joy Division t-shirt. I was. Yeah. Do you wish you wore your Suicidal Tenancies t-shirt?
25:50Dead Kennedys or... Psychedelic porn crumpets. You could have worn that one. Are you a fan of the
25:55psychedelic porn crumpets? No, I'm not. They're a prog rock band from Perth. And I'm just saying,
26:00you could always do with more support in the West. Oh, I reckon we're doing okay over there. Now,
26:04you're very proud of coming from public housing. When you first became Prime Minister, you said to
26:08everyone that anyone can aspire to the top job. They can. Look at the evidence. Well, it's great
26:14evidence, but I've seen people in public housing and just quietly, I don't want some of them to be PM.
26:19Some of them yell at passing cars. Well, you know, people would have got pretty good odds about me
26:24becoming PM. Now, everyone got annoyed because you bought a $4.3 million house in the Central Coast.
26:30Central Coast? It's a bit bogan. I mean, why don't you pick Byron Bay or Noosa?
26:34Because I'm getting married. And Jodie's a Coastie. Proud Coastie. I thought it would have been
26:40weirder if the Prime Minister bought a flat in Penrith. That's fine too, if that's what people want to do.
26:45It's not. Have you been to Penrith? Yeah, Penrith is fine. Beautiful, the Nepean River.
26:50Every time it floods, I'm happy. Now, speaking of weddings, you went to
26:54Kyle Sandiland's wedding. I did. How much cocaine did you not see getting cocaine? Not see.
27:00I saw nothing. I sat next to Kyle's mum, who is lovely. Now, after Kevin Rudd finished,
27:06you lost the leadership election to Bill Shorten. I did.
27:09Are you the only person to lose anything to Bill Shorten? Well, I won the rank and file,
27:15but Bill got the support of a majority of the caucus. Yeah, because they were petrified of him.
27:20And I served loyally to Bill. But you're the Labor John Howard. You're like,
27:25him in the reverse. You know, Bill Shorten lost the unlosable election. That's what happened
27:29before John Howard. You were an unlikely leader. And now we're stuck with you. Well, not completely
27:34unlikely. Everyone else thought it was unlikely. I know you thought it was likely. Well, the majority
27:40of the Australian people voted for it, so that's a good thing. Yeah, but they kind of had no choice.
27:44There was you. Well, they did vote for Scott Morrison in 2019. Yeah, it was an accident.
27:54All right. Very unkind. All right. Thanks very much, Tom. Say thanks, totes. Get out of the
28:03dirty bastard.
28:11That is all we have time for tonight. We can please thank Tom Gleeson, Anthony Albanese,
28:15Celia Pergola, and Rhys Nicholson. And if you would like to be in our studio audience,
28:23just scan the code on your screen right now. I'll give you a tick to get your phone out.
28:27Get the scanner open. Hold it up. Scan. Yeah, we're done. Good. We'll be back next week with
28:33Margaret Pomerantz, Nick Cody, and Alexi Toliopoulos. Until then, on behalf of the team,
28:36thanks for watching. I'm Charlie Pickering. Good night.
