00:14We've got a museum in a football club song.
00:17Do we have to have a team song?
00:19Well, I expect we'll win a game eventually, Destiny.
00:21Yeah, but why do we have them? We're not Welsh coal miners.
00:24What do you expect the players to do after a win then?
00:25I don't know, but I don't expect athletes to sing.
00:27After the 100 metres, I don't expect Usain Bolt to break into a rendition of Nessun Dorma.
00:32It's about bonding. It's about celebration.
00:35Alistair, face it.
00:35No, no, no, no.
00:36No, can we not do that now, please?
00:37Thank you, Jemisin.
00:39Hugh, Destiny, I won't keep you long.
00:41I know you've got a lot to do because you've certainly done fuck all so far.
00:44Have you got the club song yet?
00:45No, but we're...
00:46God almighty, how hard is it to write a football club song?
00:49Impossible, judging by the existing ones.
00:51If you can't deliver a bloody song on time, how are you going to go with a multi-purpose stadium?
00:54Just on that, Alistair, why do we have to build a stadium to get a team?
00:58Because you can't have one without the other.
01:00Yeah, but why not?
01:01Because they're inextricably linked.
01:03Yeah, I do understand that concept. I'm asking why.
01:07Because.
01:08Yeah, I mean, I find that a compelling argument, Alistair.
01:10I just don't know if they're really buying it down here.
01:12Well, when you're running the AFL, Hugh...
01:16God, that's a funny idea.
01:18You can mount your own argument.
01:20Look, the club presidents want to see some progress, so pick up the pace.
01:23I need a song.
01:25And a mascot by Yesterday.
01:30Hey, I've got to build a club and a $715 million stadium here.
01:34It's $745 million now.
01:37Whatever.
01:37Can you just get on board with all this stuff?
01:39Oh, maybe I should just transfer you the state government's $375 million now
01:44so you can spend the taxpayers' money any way you see fit.
01:47You say that like it would be inappropriate.
01:54Hence why we have chosen three couples from three very different suburbs.
01:59We want a broad cross-section of views.
02:02Do we still get paid even if we don't know anything about the football?
02:05Ah, yes.
02:07What if we slag off the AFL? Same fee?
02:09Yes, yes. There's no loading for sucking up.
02:11So, we need a club motto.
02:13To give you an example, the GWS Giants use think big, live big, play big.
02:18So, thinking about Tasmania and what image the club might want to project,
02:24what sort of motto do you think might work well?
02:29Anyone?
02:32Ah, John.
02:36Trying to win?
02:37Great.
02:38Someone else.
02:39Well, what about finally, after all these years, we're in like Flynn.
02:45Thank you, Oliver.
02:46So, equating Tassie entering the AFL with Errol Flynn entering a woman.
02:52Okay.
02:53Well, it kind of ruins it when you explain it.
02:54Sorry, I thought, I just thought not everyone would be familiar with the expression and who Flynn was.
02:59He was a root rat.
03:01My mistake.
03:02Any other thoughts?
03:03When do we get paid?
03:05Straight afterwards.
03:07Evelyn, do you have any thoughts on a motto?
03:09What about prioritising your taxes inappropriately?
03:12Oh.
03:13Here we go.
03:14What's your problem?
03:15Well, if you must...
03:16Actually, you know what?
03:17We're going to move on because we are also wanting to canvas nicknames for the club.
03:23Well, it's got to be the Tassie Devils, doesn't it?
03:25Yeah.
03:25What about the Tassie Muttonbirds?
03:28The Tassie Muttonbirds, yes.
03:30Of course.
03:31It doesn't have to be an animal, though.
03:33What about the Tassie Homeless?
03:35Oh, what about the Tassie Woke Anti-Everything Protesters?
03:40Yeah, the wet fucking blankets.
03:42You're calling me a wet blanket?
03:43Yes, mate, I am.
03:44You and your missus.
03:45Don't you talk about my family.
03:47Oh, sit down, you snowflake.
03:49What's all that about?
03:51Uh, Adam?
03:53Yes.
03:55Are you the mascot?
03:56Yes.
03:57Amazing.
03:58Uh, Hugh Shen, CEO.
04:00Hi.
04:01And Destiny Pit, COO.
04:03Nice to meet you.
04:04And I am, of course, Adam the Apple from the Apple Isle.
04:10You're not quite all there, are you?
04:13That's right.
04:14Some poor sod's taken a bite, only to discover, really, the worm.
04:19Oh, that's what that is.
04:20Look, I think we've seen enough, haven't we?
04:22Absolutely.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Not sure a piece of diseased fruit ticks all the boxes, but thank you so much for your time.
04:27Uh, Jamison, could you please show Adam the Apple, Donny the Door?
04:31All right.
04:32Oh.
04:33Sorry, mate.
04:34But, um, yeah, thanks for coming in.
04:36Was it the worm?
04:38No, love the worm.
04:39More, um, the whole concept, I reckon.
04:42Well, that's something to work on.
04:44That's really helpful feedback.
04:46Amazing.
04:47Anyway, your mates at the AFL are the ones saying we have to build a stadium or there's
04:52no team.
04:53What if it's a change of government?
04:55They decide, like half of Tasmania, there are more important things to spend that money on.
05:00That's why we need to crack on, so it's all too far advanced for them to kibosh it.
05:04Jamison, you've got to screen out the real nutters.
05:06I am.
05:07I said no to Clayton the clean air.
05:09Clean air?
05:10How'd he make a costume for that?
05:12He said you can't.
05:13He was just going to do it nude.
05:24Thanks.
05:26Jamison.
05:28Listen, I need your help.
05:30Destiny knows nothing about football, okay?
05:32You want me to try and explain it to her?
05:34Please don't call.
05:35State government's put her here so they can say they're monitoring how their investment's
05:39been spent.
05:39Oh, yeah.
05:40I think she's up to no good.
05:42Me too.
05:43Are you thinking some elaborate scam where she siphons monies to an offshore account?
05:47No.
05:47No.
05:48Look, this project is of monumental importance, all right?
05:51Oh, yeah.
05:52It's huge for Tasmania.
05:53That.
05:54Plus, if I pull it off, I can make a very good case to be the AFL's next CEO.
05:58If I fuck it up, I'll end up head of umpiring.
06:01My worry is Destiny's trying to sabotage it.
06:04Me too.
06:05Maybe Launceston's behind it.
06:07His north-south robbery down here is vicious.
06:08It's like the troubles in Ireland.
06:10Yeah.
06:10Yeah, it's exactly the same.
06:12So, see what you can find out about her.
06:14See if she's got wealthy connections up there.
06:16Just generally keep me apprised of her machinations, yeah?
06:21Tell me what she's up to.
06:22Yeah.
06:22Yes.
06:24Okay.
06:30Ah, Jamison.
06:31Can I, um, can I take you into my confidence?
06:35100%.
06:35Everybody does.
06:36Cool.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Romulan Pei told me yesterday, in confidence, that she just applied for a job with Aurora
06:41Energy.
06:42Well, Hugh, and disclaimer, I don't know the guy, but I'm not sure he has any regard for
06:48the principles of good governance or socially aware business practices.
06:52Yeah, I picked up on that.
06:53Now, the Premier has put me here to be accountable for every dollar spent, so you can see the
06:58importance of this.
06:59100%.
06:59It's a huge thing for Tassie.
07:01Yeah, that, and also it will be career-defining for me.
07:04So, on behalf of the government, I need you to keep an eye on him and just let me know
07:08what he's doing.
07:09Keep you apprised of his machinations.
07:10Exactly.
07:11And we never had this conversation.
07:14So you don't want me to do it?
07:17Do it, but don't tell Hugh we had this conversation.
07:19Yeah, amazing.
07:21Amazing.
07:21Yeah.
07:21Yeah.
07:26Good afternoon.
07:27Hi.
07:28Okay.
07:29Are we good to go?
07:29Yes.
07:31Well, Jane, welcome to Tasmania's Got Talent.
07:34Oh, I doubt we'd degrade ourselves to appear on that.
07:38No.
07:39No.
07:39Well, I just made it up, so.
07:43Anyway, the floor's yours, Jane.
07:45Blow our minds.
07:47Okay, ladies, stay with me, Helene.
07:50Come on, everybody, make some noise.
07:53We are the good old Tassie boys.
07:56We're fit and strong, we'll kick it long.
07:59Unless there's an obvious short pass on,
08:02we'll hit them hard and fight like dogs.
08:05As trucks roll by with all growth logs,
08:08we'll kick the score that wins the game.
08:11Cause after all, that is the aim.
08:23We're Tasmanians taking all the knocks.
08:26Tasmanians take without a fox.
08:29They'll lose by a mile when they get to the Apple Isle.
08:45Extraordinary.
08:46Please, take a seat.
08:47They'll stand.
08:49Oh, so beautiful.
08:52It was.
08:53First thoughts, and I don't know if you've considered this,
08:57but do you think that footballers would be able to sing that?
09:01Well, with respect, that's not really my problem.
09:04I'm providing the material and it's up to you and your football department to provide the talent to execute it.
09:11I mean, it would make us stand out from the pack and it does align with our reputation as being
09:17a home for the arts.
09:18Are we not striving to be the best club in the competition?
09:22I take your point.
09:24It's just that I don't think an AFL club is going to start drafting kids from the Vienna Boys Choir.
09:29The fans have to be able to sing it too.
09:32Exactly right, Jamison.
09:33To sing that, we'd have to put every tattooed tone-deaf footy head in the state through the Conservatorium of
09:38Music.
09:38All right, let's go.
09:41No wasting our time here.
09:42Thanks, Jane.
09:43Thanks, everyone.
09:46Do you know what it says on the Tasmanian number plate?
09:50Explore the possibilities.
09:53That rules that song out then.
09:58Do you want to see another mascot try out now?
10:00She's come as Mickey Mount Wellington.
10:02She's got a little cable car running up her arm and everything.
10:04And it's detachable, if you're opposed to it.
10:06For a start, we'd prefer the Aboriginal or Palawa name Kunanyi to Mount Wellington.
10:11I can ask if she's happy to change it to...
10:15Barney Kunanyi.
10:17If that's not disrespectful.
10:26So, uh, Destiny.
10:29You always lived in Hobart?
10:31No, I went to school up north.
10:33Really?
10:34Excuse me.
10:36So, up north, eh?
10:38Right, okay.
10:39That'd be what?
10:40Devonport?
10:41Or, uh...
10:42Launceston.
10:43Excuse me.
10:44Yeah, so, uh, Lonnie.
10:47Lonnie.
10:47You, uh, still got any friends up there?
10:51Good friends?
10:52Um, yeah, I've got...
10:54I've got friends there.
10:56Amazing.
10:57Excuse me.
10:57Yeah, um, so powerful friends, or, uh, hey, Hugh.
11:03Emerson.
11:04Just talking to Destiny about our contacts in Lonnie.
11:09What's going on with you?
11:11Don't mean to pry, just in general, work-wise?
11:15Alistair called again.
11:16He wants us to look outside Tasmania for a professional musician.
11:19The government would prefer it someone local.
11:21Oh, why didn't I think of telling Alistair that?
11:23Because you're intimidated by him.
11:25I am not.
11:26What about Tim Minchin?
11:27He'd be all right.
11:27Minchin.
11:28So you're a good fit.
11:30You write a footy club song?
11:31You wrote a song about Cardinal George Pell.
11:33How's that relevant?
11:34Pell was a good footballer on his day.
11:36Signed with Richmond.
11:37Yeah, I don't think that song was about his football prowess, though.
11:39It wasn't up there George Pell.
11:40No, it was come back, Cardinal Pell.
11:43Yeah, come back from the Vatican.
11:44Not from being six goals down at half-time.
11:46Excuse me.
11:49Excuse me.
11:50Oh, yep.
11:53And, excuse me.
11:55Okay.
11:56I'm really kidding.
11:59Sorry, it's all being so good.
12:18Hi, Alistair.
12:19You still at work?
12:21Yep, still here.
12:22Made any progress on sponsorships?
12:24Sponsorships, yeah.
12:25I've got a couple of promising nibbles this week that I'll follow up on, so...
12:29Well, stitch them up.
12:30Should have made a few by now.
12:31Well, the economy here is no good, mate.
12:33It's a bit tough.
12:33Where are you with the location?
12:34With the training and admin base?
12:36Yeah, I'm just waiting on a couple of reports on that.
12:39That needs to be happening now, are you?
12:41Yeah, well, the councils are a nightmare.
12:43Whose arse do you need to kiss?
12:44I'm not sure yet.
12:46Yeah, well, look into it and pucker up.
12:48Make it a priority.
12:49Right.
12:50You missing Melbourne?
12:52Yeah, I really am.
12:53I don't know anyone down here and...
12:55Yeah, okay, see ya.
13:00What do you reckon, Merlo?
13:02We're not going to kiss any arse, are we?
13:04Hey?
13:06Been set up to fail, aren't I?
13:08Alice has given me a poison chalice because I'm a threat.
13:13A big threat.
13:14It might take his job.
13:16Shouldn't have your dog in at work, Hugh.
13:25Sales are up 9% for the quarter, which we expect to get to double figures over the next six
13:30months.
13:31So, whilst we're a relatively new player in the salmon industry here, our market penetration,
13:37driven by our focus on world's best practice farming techniques, delivering unsurpassed quality product,
13:43is rapidly establishing us as, if you'll pardon the pun, a Fremier brand.
13:51And you feed them chicken shit, don't you?
13:55A component of poultry litter is involved.
13:58And chemicals to make them orange.
13:59We do use a synthetic colouring additive with no known health risks.
14:03Mmm, yum.
14:05So you're looking to increase your exposure?
14:07Oh, fuck off.
14:08Excuse me?
14:10Oh, shabby, shabby.
14:12Oh, yes.
14:13That's quite hot.
14:14And so is that too.
14:16Yes, we absolutely are looking to increase our exposure, Hugh.
14:21What I would love to see is that we come on board as a major sponsor
14:24with an agreement to be the sole supplier of fresh seafood to the venue.
14:29Because I see some synergies between Cellmania and our new AFL team
14:34that could be of tremendous mutual benefit.
14:37We're both new, Tassie, fresh, determined to make it to number one.
14:43They're not the only synergies, though, are they?
14:45No.
14:45No, I'm sure they're not.
14:46Brian Noyce, one of our board members, is also a director of your company, isn't he?
14:51That's right.
14:51Which provides a fantastic opportunity.
14:54For a conflict of interest.
14:55For both parties to benefit.
14:57How is it a conflict if Brian wants his football club
14:59to provide top quality seafood produce to its customers
15:03and his company can provide it?
15:04I'll send you a link.
15:05Yeah, look, we'll deal with that if it becomes an issue, okay?
15:09What level of sponsorship are we talking about here, George?
15:11That will really depend, Hugh, on what you can bring to the table.
15:15And don't say a lap dancer, eh?
15:18Hey?
15:20No, I'm not saying that.
15:21Did you have anything specific in mind?
15:23Well, I'm not sure what this sort of thing costs,
15:25but ideally what we would love is that the club jumper
15:28be predominantly pink on the front and silvery grey on the back.
15:33So like a salmon steak.
15:35That's it.
15:36And then why don't we put little fins on the side?
15:39Except that would make them easier to tackle.
15:41Not if they were oily.
15:43Ooh, yeah, good point.
15:44Ooh.
15:58Do I detect a frosty buy?
16:01Hopefully.
16:02I don't want to be wasting this awkwardness.
16:03What have I done?
16:05Well, I mean, you're really sweet-talked him
16:06with all that stuff about chicken shit and conflicts of interest, didn't you?
16:09Well, that arrangement would be totally inappropriate.
16:11And he's a wanker.
16:13We're going to knock back business heavyweights because they're wankers.
16:15We'll have no corporate sponsorships.
16:17We need to welcome wankers.
16:18Be more inclusive.
16:19Well, I'm going to call out conflicts of interest when I see them.
16:22Yeah, that's fine, but this is a small state.
16:25If you want board members from the business community,
16:27chances are they're going to be involved in something that benefits from the stadium.
16:30So if a conflict of interest is inevitable, it's OK?
16:33Well, you want local input.
16:35I mean, what's the conflict, really?
16:37So when the board meet to decide the catering contract,
16:39Brian Noyce steps out of the room
16:40and his fellow directors say,
16:42Brian's a good guy and a valuable board member
16:44and his company sponsorship is valuable,
16:46but we'll give the contract to somebody else.
16:48Well, why would they do that?
16:49Exactly.
16:50Why would they?
16:51So what's the problem?
16:52Seriously?
16:53It's OK that his company benefits financially from his position on the board.
16:56That's business.
16:57Oh, see, us public servants don't understand business.
17:02Do you want this project to happen?
17:04I'm completely agnostic about it.
17:06Agnostic or atheistic?
17:08Well, what I'm not going to be is a Hillsong happy clapper.
17:10Are you excited about it
17:12within the parameters of being a public servant?
17:14I have no interest in sport.
17:16Jesus.
17:17So, no, I'm not excited.
17:18I don't have an emotional attachment
17:19to a proposed building or a non-existent sporting team.
17:22Put that on a bumper sticker.
17:24I think she's you, then.
17:29Hi, Jamison.
17:30Hey, so I've been looking into Destiny.
17:34You're on speaker.
17:35You're on speaker.
17:36Destiny's with me, Jamison.
17:37So...
17:38Uh, OK.
17:39Well, uh...
17:40So...
17:41Uh, um...
17:42So, does her workspace comply ergonomically with the guidelines?
17:46What?
17:47Oh, yes.
17:49Yes, it completely complies.
17:50Yep, checked it out.
17:52All good.
17:52OK, thanks, Jamison.
17:53Sure.
17:54And Destiny, I will talk to you later.
17:56Please do.
17:57Just about work stuff, not Hugh.
17:59Yep, goodbye, Jamison.
18:00OK, bye.
18:09As regards to the team nickname,
18:11the Tassie Devils, it seems to be the most popular.
18:13Great.
18:13Great.
18:13Great.
18:14An animal known for its facial tumours
18:16that we only ever see as roadkill.
18:17That's the image we want to go with.
18:19But we would need to get permission from Warner Brothers
18:21to use the Tasmanian devil.
18:22How can they copyright a marsupial?
18:24So, if we didn't get it, what are we left with?
18:26A facial tumour.
18:28Be an awesome costume.
18:29The bigger issue with the term devils, though,
18:31is the religious rite in Tassie, especially up north.
18:34They are not going to be happy with the connotations.
18:36Yeah, right.
18:37You don't think we could convince them
18:38that we're not actually going to be worshipping Satan?
18:41Do they think the Jedi West giants are actually giants?
18:43Is giants PC?
18:44It really should be large people, shouldn't it?
18:47Sure.
18:47From now on, we'll refer to them
18:48as the Greater Western Sydney Large People.
18:51Assuming greater's OK?
18:53It's a bit judgmental.
18:54Yep, fine.
18:54Let's go with the broader Western Sydney Large People.
18:58OK.
18:59Thanks, Angela.
19:00There's a lot of people not happy about this stadium.
19:02They are really worried about it.
19:04Can we address that in some way?
19:05Yes.
19:07We'll build the stadium and shut them up.
19:09OK.
19:10Well, I've got to prep for another focus group,
19:11so if anyone needs me, I'll be with my trauma counsellor.
19:14If anyone wants me, I'll be in the toilet.
19:16That makes it just that little bit less likely.
19:20Hey, I think you and I need to do a little reset.
19:22Maybe we should go for a drink after work.
19:24Over the road?
19:26I'll be there about five.
19:27I've got yoga after work.
19:29Don't get out till seven.
19:30Perfect.
19:30Hello, my darling boy.
19:32Oh, God.
19:33Oh, President?
19:34Yeah.
19:35Also Chair of the Tasmanian Chamber of Nepotism.
19:37Was she really the best candidate for president?
19:40Oh, by seven million dollars,
19:41which is a skill set we'll make a great use of.
19:44Catherine!
19:44No big ideas for you today.
19:47Oh.
19:48But you're still working on my Antarctic training camp idea anyway, aren't you?
19:53Really pushing hard for it.
19:54And my robot water carriers
19:56and the goalposts with the fireworks coming out the top.
20:00All progressing as I'd hoped.
20:02No, I just drop by to see how my boy's going.
20:05Oh, OK.
20:05Is he?
20:06Oh, tremendous.
20:08His dad and I were worried he might not be up to it,
20:11but happy to be proven wrong.
20:13He really appreciates that you both respect him for who he is.
20:18Well, that's amazing that he feels like that.
20:21Because the fact that I am a wealthy businesswoman
20:24should in no way influence how you deal with him.
20:27It doesn't.
20:29Good.
20:30I've been treating him like scum.
20:35You're good.
20:42Ah, no, thank you.
20:46So, men's team in the VFL in 2026,
20:49women's team 2027,
20:50build a training and admin facility and a stadium,
20:53team in the AFL in 2028,
20:55back to Melbourne,
20:56suppose Alistair,
20:58run the AFL.
20:58What about you?
21:00Become the senior public servant in Tasmania
21:03by the time I'm 35.
21:04Why wait till then?
21:06Identify your rivals,
21:07undermine them,
21:08stab them in the back.
21:09See, it's my public service naivety again.
21:17This is probably about my own mortality,
21:19but lately I've been noticing
21:21how fabulous young people's skin is.
21:26Okay.
21:29I've got to go.
21:31Hey, I didn't mean anything.
21:34It's here tomorrow.
21:36As she rises to her apology,
21:40everybody else will...
21:43Resistance is useless.
21:46We will keep you scoreless.
21:49We have your rage.
21:51We have your rage.
21:54Morning.
21:55Jameson?
21:56Yeah.
21:58So, how do you reckon it's all going, Q?
22:02Good.
22:02Amazing, yeah.
22:04Everything's, uh,
22:06being done as per the contract and that.
22:11Has Destiny asked you to report to her about me
22:13the way I've asked you to report to me about her?
22:17No.
22:18No, that conversation never happened.
22:20The conversation where she asked you to report on me?
22:22No.
22:23I mean, yes.
22:24Yes what?
22:26Yes, the conversation where she asked me to report on you.
22:29That conversation never happened?
22:31No.
22:32No, it did happen or no, it never happened?
22:35Yes, it never happened.
22:37I'm confused because you said no, it never happened
22:40and now yes, it never happened.
22:41So, am I right in saying that conversation never happened?
22:44No.
22:45It never happened?
22:46Uh, no, you're not right.
22:47It happened, but it never happened.
22:53Can I have a word?
22:54Uh-huh.
23:04I just want you to know that I'm sincerely sorry for last night.
23:08I was making a general observation and I guess trying to pay you a compliment,
23:13but what I said was inappropriate, it won't happen again,
23:17and I apologise for any discomfort it made you feel.
23:19Well, I appreciate you be within your rights to report this.
23:23I would just...
23:23Don't worry about it.
23:24You were drunk.
23:26You're single, lonely, hard to warm to, sex-starved, and I'm attractive, I get it.
23:32Thank you so much.
23:33Mm-hmm.
23:35I mean, I don't think there was inherently anything wrong with what I said,
23:39but because there's this power imbalance between us, I...
23:42I don't think there's a power imbalance.
23:43Oh, well...
23:46Yeah.
23:47Great.
23:48Great.
23:49It would have been really creepy if there was a power imbalance.
23:52It would have been a different matter.
23:53Right.
23:54Well, great.
23:56So we're good?
23:59We're all right.
24:00Good morning.
24:01Good morning.
24:01How are we?
24:02George.
24:02Morning, George.
24:03Right, so I'm just passing through,
24:05and I thought I would drop off a sample of our product for you.
24:08A side of our beautiful hot smoked salmon.
24:13Magic.
24:13Thank you very much.
24:14Pleasure.
24:15Destiny?
24:16No, thank you.
24:17No?
24:18Come on, don't tell me that eating beautiful, fresh Tassie produce
24:21is a conflict of interest.
24:23Accepting a gift in these circumstances is inappropriate.
24:26Destiny, come on.
24:27He's not going to buy his way into a catering contract
24:29with a couple of pieces of fish.
24:30They're whole sides of salmon.
24:32It's not right.
24:33I'm sorry, George.
24:35Don't apologise for me.
24:36Sorry, I apologise for me.
24:39I respect your passion.
24:40I respect your beliefs.
24:42But come on.
24:45It's delicious.
24:47Yeah.
24:55Um, this is for you.
24:58It's a whole side of smoked salmon.
25:02Oh, I'm not eating that.
25:04That mob feed them chicken shit.
25:20I mean, why do we bother with this mob?
25:22This woman's bias is a disgrace.
25:24Not all the media can be an extension of the AFL's PR department.
25:27Have you vetted the callers?
25:28How are we supposed to vet an ABC audience?
25:30You're telling me that the CEO or the president
25:32haven't got anyone from the national broadcaster
25:34down here in your pockets yet?
25:35What the fuck have you two been doing?
25:37You haven't got a song or a cheer squad
25:39or a location with a training and admin centre.
25:41We have a perfectly good location for it in Kingston.
25:43Kingston.
25:44Is Kingston any closer to Hobart now
25:46than it was three weeks ago when I rejected it?
25:48No, no way.
25:49Within five Ks of the CBD.
25:51That's the stipulation.
25:52I told you that.
25:53So unless you and your government mates
25:54can organise some continental drift in the next few weeks,
25:57stop talking about bloody Kingston.
25:58You need to watch your tone.
26:00Bullshit.
26:00Live across Tasmania.
26:02Back in.
26:03Hey, if the TNA centre comes up,
26:05can you say we're going to take our time
26:06to make sure we get the decision right?
26:08Just checking something in the Communist Manifesto,
26:10were we?
26:10Mornings with Libby Kitcher.
26:12And welcome back.
26:14You're listening to ABC Radio Mornings
26:17and my guests are AFL CEO Alistair Penfold,
26:21Great Southern Football Club CEO Hugh Shen.
26:23And now Hugh, a question for you.
26:27$765 million is what's slated for the new stadium,
26:30although no one seems to think it can be built
26:32for less than a billion.
26:34We have a housing crisis and a health crisis here.
26:37How do you justify spending this kind of money
26:40on a sports stadium?
26:41Libby, when you have the great Southern Footy Club
26:43playing Carlton in Hobart,
26:44your hotels and Airbnbs will be full,
26:47your restaurants and bars will be full,
26:49your markets and cafes,
26:51this state-of-the-art stadium
26:52will generate the revenue
26:54to help solve the housing crisis.
26:56Well, let's build half a dozen of them,
26:57then we can solve the health crisis,
26:59the teacher shortage and the traffic gridlock.
27:01With respect, you're just ignorant.
27:03Questioning projects is fine,
27:05but opposing exciting developments like this,
27:07if humanity didn't embrace progress,
27:09we'd still be living in caves.
27:11A cave.
27:11That would be an improvement for some people here.
27:13Our first caller is Pip.
27:16Hi, Pip.
27:16Hi, Libby.
27:17Firstly, I'd like to say
27:18that I fully support the new team
27:21and the new stadium.
27:22Ah, the voice of reason.
27:24But my question concerns
27:25the training and admin facility.
27:27How close are you to settling
27:28on a location for that
27:30and could it positively impact
27:31the value of any of my property portfolio
27:33in Sandy Bay,
27:34Lower Sandy Bay,
27:36Taruna,
27:37Mount Nelson,
27:38Dunurn,
27:38Newtown,
27:39or Mount Stewart?
27:40We're actually doing
27:41a site inspection today, Pip,
27:43but it is a hugely important
27:45and extremely complex decision.
27:47And she'll be making
27:48an announcement about that
27:49in the next week or so.
27:50Now, my son wants to know
27:52when he can join
27:53the cheer squad.
27:55Can you tell our listeners
27:56anything about a cheer squad?
27:57Yes.
27:58Our COO,
27:59Destiny Pitt over there,
28:01is right on top of that
28:02and she's currently
28:03taking interviews
28:04for the position
28:05of cheer squad leader.
28:07And again,
28:08she'll be making a decision
28:09sometime next week,
28:11I believe.
28:11Destiny?
28:13Yes,
28:14next week that is.
28:19Why doesn't Alistair travel
28:21in the van with us?
28:22Because it's a van.
28:23With us.
28:25Alistair.
28:26This is Barry Crabb
28:27from the RSL.
28:27Alistair Penfold.
28:28Alistair.
28:29Mum said it might be
28:30an appropriate
28:31and respectful thing
28:32to play
28:32The Last Post
28:33before official discussions
28:35got underway.
28:36Amazing.
28:37Okay.
28:40Sorry, sorry.
28:42Sorry.
28:43Hold on, hold on.
28:45Sorry, hold on.
28:49That's not it either.
28:50That's not it, I know.
28:51Sorry, Barry.
28:52So,
28:53stadium over there
28:54and potentially
28:56the training and admin facility
28:57somewhere around here.
28:58Somewhere around
28:59this sacred precinct.
29:02That's the first order
29:02of business.
29:03Actually,
29:03first order of business
29:04is to get a bloody air bridge
29:05at the airport.
29:07The air bridge?
29:08There's no much point
29:09sticking a roof on a stadium
29:10if you have to walk
29:11through howling wind
29:11and lacerating rain
29:12to get on and off a plane.
29:13So, is this another condition
29:14for the licence?
29:15No, Destiny.
29:16It's a suggestion
29:16to make life more comfortable
29:17for everyone.
29:19Why don't we build
29:20public housing
29:20instead of a stadium?
29:22Sorry?
29:22I was just talking to Jemison.
29:24We should just build a roof
29:25over the whole state.
29:27One question I have
29:29is what any of this
29:30has got to do with me.
29:31Sorry, Barry.
29:32So,
29:32if we have the stadium over there,
29:34can you give us a sense
29:35of the RSL's view
29:36on having the training
29:37and admin facility here?
29:39Complete and utter opposition.
29:41Uh-huh.
29:41As far as I'm concerned,
29:42this area is out of bounds.
29:43My members are already jittery
29:44about the stadium
29:45being close to the war memorial.
29:47This is where we honour
29:48our war heroes.
29:49Barry, it's not like
29:49we're proposing to use
29:50the Cenotaph as a goalpost.
29:52The Shrine of Remembrance
29:53in Melbourne
29:53is only a short walk
29:54from the MCG.
29:54I don't see that
29:55as disrespectful.
29:56In fact, on Anzac Day,
29:56I see it as a synergy.
29:58God, is someone giving you money
29:59if you use the word synergy?
30:00Sorry?
30:00I said Kingston.
30:02This is the main military monument
30:04in the state, though.
30:05What if we give you
30:06the naming rights
30:06to the TNA facility,
30:08the Barry Crabb Training
30:09and Admin Centre,
30:11the RSL,
30:12the Australian War Memorial,
30:13the Department of Veterans Affairs,
30:15and the RSL
30:16will all pile on
30:17if you go down this path?
30:18Ah, yes, yes, yes.
30:21Is there any rugby grounds
30:22around here
30:22we could take over?
30:23It's always nice
30:24to stick another dagger
30:25in the heart
30:25of those NRL no-necks.
30:27No, I'd already thought of that.
30:28Yeah, congratulations.
30:31What's that area over there?
30:32Uh, oh, that's Government House.
30:36Oh, yeah?
30:37How much land?
30:39Sorry, sorry, sorry.
30:42That's not it.
30:43I'm so sorry, Barry.
30:45Siri, stop.
30:47Play the last post.
30:55I hope Earl Grey is okay.
30:58Yeah, yeah.
30:59Hope he makes a full recovery.
31:03And how are Mum and Dad?
31:04Yeah, good, thanks.
31:06Mum says you're coming out
31:06for dinner on the weekend.
31:07Mmm, I'm looking forward
31:08to hearing all about the new boat.
31:10It's an 80-footer,
31:11wet bar,
31:12bow sound system.
31:13I meant on the weekend.
31:15Oh, 100%.
31:17Sorry to interrupt, Jamison.
31:19So, Your Excellency,
31:2015 hectares here, I understand.
31:22I believe so, yes.
31:24Gorgeous grounds.
31:24Mm, and with such a rich history
31:26and all heritage listed, of course.
31:29Indeed.
31:30Do you spend much time
31:31in the grounds, Your Excellency?
31:33Oh, sadly, no.
31:34Mine's a very busy schedule,
31:35I'm afraid.
31:36Such a waste.
31:37In light of which,
31:39we were wondering
31:39if Your Excellency
31:41might be amenable
31:41to relocating
31:42to a more manageable property,
31:45freeing up the estate
31:46for the AFL Club's
31:47new training
31:48and administration facility.
31:50Obviously, we need to negotiate
31:52this with the state government,
31:53but there'll be no problems there.
31:54We could also make,
31:55Your Excellency,
31:56the club's number one ticket holder.
31:58It's a very prestigious position.
32:00Because let's be frank,
32:01Your Excellency,
32:02given the housing crisis here,
32:0415 hectares in the heart of the city
32:06with only a few people living on it,
32:08I mean, it's obscene, isn't it?
32:10If the role of the governor
32:11is to serve the people,
32:12then what better way?
32:15And where would you propose
32:18I relocate to?
32:21Well, very soon,
32:22we hope to have in place
32:23a commercial arrangement
32:24with Rest Point Casino,
32:26so an executive suite there
32:28would be an option.
32:29I'm not sure how appropriate
32:31it would be
32:31to hold vice-regal functions
32:33at a casino.
32:34Well, you can't have
32:35a vice-regal function
32:36without a vice.
32:38Oh, the tea.
32:39Sorry.
32:41I thought your friend was sick.
32:47I think that went well.
32:49Oh, yeah,
32:49she'll be packing her undies
32:50as we speak.
32:51Well, we're not going to win
32:52a public fight with the RSL,
32:54so pile the pressure on her
32:55about the extravagance
32:56of her living arrangements.
32:57She's the governor.
32:58Everyone expects her
32:59to have an unsustainably opulent,
33:01unjustifiably lavish lifestyle.
33:02I can't hold your hand
33:03through this, Hugh.
33:04If you haven't got the balls
33:05for this job,
33:06there's no shame in that.
33:07I'll get someone who has.
33:08We could put Hugh's
33:08undersized testicles to one side,
33:10as it were,
33:11if we just went with
33:11the government land at Kingston.
33:12You know there's a Kingston
33:13in Jamaica, too?
33:14Is it any closer?
33:15This place is sacrosanct, Alistair.
33:17It's steeped in tradition.
33:18Drop it, Destiny.
33:19We've got a lunch at minor.
33:20See you Monday.
33:26And he's publicly dumped
33:27the cheese squad in my lap.
33:29That has nothing to do
33:30with our priorities
33:31and everything to do
33:32with him swinging his dick.
33:34My background's governance.
33:35I don't know what a cheese squad is.
33:37I don't know what a fraud squad is.
33:38They investigate financial crime.
33:40A cheese squad,
33:41do they investigate happiness?
33:43I mean, we don't even have a team yet.
33:44Or a stadium,
33:45or a training and admin centre,
33:46or a coach.
33:47Do you want to swap jobs?
33:48It shits me
33:48that he won't even entertain
33:49the idea of Kingston,
33:50but he's happy to boot
33:51the king's representative
33:53out of a historic residence.
33:55Do you really think
33:55that's appropriate?
33:56The king booted Prince Andrew
33:57out of his historic residence?
33:58Yes, but the governor
33:59hasn't been implicated,
34:00as far as I'm aware,
34:01in an underage sex trafficking scandal.
34:03You're just nitpicking now.
34:04And I don't have any other options.
34:06Oh, I'm going to have to work tomorrow now
34:07just to find a bloody
34:09cheer squad leader.
34:10You know, on top of all that,
34:11we are spending a lot of money.
34:13And there's no guarantee
34:14that this team,
34:15or stadium,
34:16will ever exist.
34:18How do we justify
34:19to Tasmanian taxpayers
34:20all this premature infrastructure?
34:22Build it,
34:22and they will come
34:24to realise
34:24they might as well use it.
34:34Jameson,
34:35can you visit?
34:35I've got a minute.
34:37Are you able to come in
34:38and help Destiny tomorrow morning?
34:40Oh, I can't.
34:41I'm doing an escape room.
34:43Oh, you go into a room
34:44with a bunch of other people
34:46and try and solve problems
34:47in a set period of time.
34:48Right.
34:49So, nice change from work then.
34:50Yeah.
34:51Because the room's
34:52in complete darkness.
34:53Yeah, of course.
34:55Okay, well,
34:56I'll just give up my Saturday
34:57and drop in on the way
34:59back from the government house.
35:00Oh.
35:03Not a word to Destiny.
35:05And look,
35:05forget what I said
35:06about keeping an eye on her.
35:07It might make me look creepy.
35:09Definitely.
35:10Definitely what?
35:11Definitely.
35:12Nothing about you.
35:14So, your parents
35:15are friends with the governor.
35:16Are they completely loaded
35:17or something?
35:18Yeah.
35:19Mum inherited like 30 million.
35:20What?
35:21Oh, get fucked.
35:22Meanwhile,
35:23I'm living at home
35:24trying to save for a deposit
35:25on a mouldy old apartment.
35:26Well, I'm still living at home too.
35:27Yeah.
35:28Tough times.
35:29So,
35:29why are you even working?
35:32I think it's to prove
35:34that I got this job on ability.
35:36I don't know.
35:37Ask Mum.
35:43I see what you mean.
35:44This is just beautiful.
35:46Yes,
35:46it's an absolute oasis
35:47in the city.
35:50I've been crunching some numbers
35:51and it's very easy to see
35:53the economic value
35:55we'd add to this oasis
35:56through community sporting
35:58and health facilities,
35:59retail opportunities
36:00and even some residential housing.
36:02Uh-huh.
36:04Compared to the cost of
36:05just maintaining you here.
36:08Right.
36:09And so,
36:09when we take this idea
36:10to the Premier,
36:11obviously it would have more cachet
36:12if you'd lent your support
36:13to the proposal.
36:14I'm sure you'd agree,
36:15Your Excellency.
36:15Clearly it would, yes.
36:17Terrific.
36:17So,
36:18that's a letter of support
36:19from you to sign,
36:20which we've drawn up for you.
36:21Oh, that's very thoughtful.
36:23Not at all.
36:23And, uh,
36:24I've also brought along
36:25a laser measure.
36:26Do you mind if I take
36:26a few measurements?
36:28Thanks.
36:29Thanks.
36:38So, Cliff,
36:39no previous experience
36:41with cheer squads?
36:42No, not as such,
36:43but I do have plenty
36:44of experience dealing
36:45with organised groups
36:46of people that
36:46don't take shit
36:48from anyone.
36:49Yeah.
36:50I guess my first question
36:52would...
36:52Look, I'll come up
36:52with some graphics,
36:53you know,
36:54for the banner
36:55for the boys to run through.
36:56You know,
36:57just inspirational quotes.
36:58Oh, yeah?
36:59Yeah.
37:02Kill them.
37:04Joke.
37:06Oh.
37:08Yeah, I think I get it now.
37:11Right off the top,
37:11can I just clarify one matter?
37:13Are you a member
37:14of an outlaw motorcycle gang?
37:16No.
37:16No, no, no, no, no.
37:19Construction Union.
37:21Oh, that's all good then.
37:23Yeah.
37:30Don't sweat this too much.
37:32I don't care who runs
37:33the cheer squad
37:34as long as they haven't
37:34got a criminal record.
37:35I mean,
37:36white collar crimes are right.
37:38I don't want to rule out
37:38anyone with a business background.
37:40So,
37:41job lifting's a no,
37:42insider trading's a yes?
37:43I'm not a snob.
37:44It's just about skill sets.
37:46Hey, what do you think?
37:49Government house?
37:51Training and admin facility.
37:52I get a perfect view of training
37:54if my office goes there.
37:56In the governor's bedroom?
37:57Yeah.
37:59Seems appropriate,
38:00given what you're doing to her.
38:02Yeah.
38:13Hi, can I speak to
38:14Alicia Shewater, please?
38:16Ah!
38:16Hello?
38:17Hello?
38:18No, I'm breaking out.
38:19I'm breaking out.
38:20Get me out of here!
38:23Mornings with Libby Kitcher.
38:25And you could win two tickets
38:26to the Theatre Royal
38:27to see Clive and Friends,
38:29an evening of madrigals,
38:31poetry and conversation
38:32with Clive Palmer.
38:35And now to a story
38:37that is just breaking
38:39on social media
38:40in the last quarter
38:41of an hour this morning,
38:42with a report
38:43in the Mercury
38:44by Alicia Shearwater
38:45that the great
38:46Southern Football Club
38:47wants to take over
38:49government house
38:49here in Hobart
38:51and the land surrounding it
38:52for their training
38:53and administration facility
38:55and have attempted
38:56to bribe the governor,
38:57Meredith Crotty,
38:58with number one
38:58ticket holder status.
39:00And I can tell you
39:01our SMS hotline
39:02is going to melt down
39:03over this.
39:04We have a full board of calls.
39:06Sorry, thank you.
39:07And the first up is...
39:08Angela!
39:08Oh, don't worry.
39:09I've booked a call
39:10with Buckingham Palace.
39:10I'll be giving them
39:11some very bloody frank feedback.
39:13Hi, Angela.
39:14Hi.
39:14I mean, who the hell
39:15does she think she is?
39:16Who?
39:16The governor of Tasmania.
39:17Waking confidential discussions
39:19to the media
39:19and sabotaging
39:21Hugh's idea.
39:22This could be
39:23a constitutional issue.
39:24My idea?
39:25He's got no respect
39:25for the office
39:26obsolete parasite
39:27on the public purse
39:28that it is.
39:29What do you mean, my idea?
39:30You were the one
39:30who tried to bribe her.
39:31This idea was always
39:32going to create a shitstorm.
39:33That's why we needed
39:34to keep a lid on it
39:35until we got it
39:36over the line.
39:37It's completely
39:38torch our brand down here
39:39if we can't hose it down.
39:40You need to put it
39:40back in a box.
39:41We want to issue
39:42a press release immediately.
39:43Oh, cool, Eric.
39:44Can I just suggest...
39:44Just get this down.
39:45Okay.
39:47You've gone quiet.
39:48I'm just admiring
39:50the synergy.
39:52The AFL
39:53is bitterly disappointed
39:55that a private
39:56conversation
39:57between its representatives
39:59and the representative
40:00of His Majesty
40:01the King
40:02has firstly
40:03made it out
40:04into the public
40:04and secondly
40:06been so comprehensively
40:08misunderstood.
40:08Are you getting this?
40:09Yeah, it's on speech
40:10to text.
40:11Just deleting
40:12our last exchange
40:14and that bit
40:15just then.
40:21The AFL
40:22has never had
40:24any desire
40:24to take over
40:25the grounds
40:26of Government House
40:26nor any desire
40:28to offer
40:28the number one
40:29ticket-holding position
40:30to Her Excellency
40:31the Governor.
40:33Something implying
40:34her mental acuity
40:35might be subpar.
40:36Oh, you can't say that.
40:39The AFL
40:40trusts
40:41and hopes
40:41that Her
40:42Excellency's
40:43confusion
40:44is an isolated
40:45incident.
40:46Thanks, Angela.
40:47Okay.
40:48We're not going to be
40:48in a position
40:49to announce
40:49the location
40:50for next week.
40:50Week's a long time
40:51in football here.
40:57What possesses
40:58these people
40:58to want to lead
40:59a cheer squad?
41:01This woman's
41:02a gynecologist
41:03for God's sake.
41:03I'm not going to
41:04snoop on to you anymore
41:05or you.
41:06Sure.
41:07What?
41:08I don't want you
41:09to compromise
41:09your principles
41:10but can you do
41:11whatever it takes
41:12to get one of your
41:12Government mates
41:13to lock in Kingston?
41:14Well, I can have
41:14a conversation.
41:15That'd be my
41:16starting point, yeah.
41:17As a priority
41:18would be good.
41:19Oh, Kingston's
41:20suddenly starting
41:20to look good now,
41:21isn't it?
41:21Wouldn't go that far.
41:22It really isn't that far.
41:29That press release
41:30is outrageous.
41:31It is borderline
41:32treasonous
41:33and I demand
41:33that you retract it
41:34forthwith.
41:35I'm sorry,
41:36Your Excellency,
41:36but...
41:37You made a preposterous,
41:40ill-judged proposal
41:41and now,
41:42to save face,
41:43you impugn
41:45a representative
41:45of the Crown
41:46by implying
41:47I am demented?
41:48Well,
41:48Your Excellency,
41:49if you think you can
41:50leak against the AFL,
41:52if you'll excuse
41:53the imagery,
41:54without any consequences,
41:55then you must be
41:56demented.
41:57I did not leak
41:57any details
41:58to anyone.
41:59Oh, all right.
42:00You have crossed
42:01the line.
42:02As even the AFL's
42:03half-assed video
42:04review system
42:05would show
42:06at the risk
42:08of trying
42:08to bully a bully.
42:10You withdraw
42:11that statement
42:11and issue
42:12an apology
42:13or I will bring
42:15the full weight
42:15of the Crown
42:16down on you
42:17in court
42:17and we'll see
42:18if Jamison and Destiny
42:19share your memory
42:20of that meeting.
42:26You need to
42:27discredit her,
42:29dismantle
42:29her integrity.
42:30The Governor.
42:31It's our brand
42:32or hers.
42:33Jesus, Alistair.
42:34Every time
42:34you come down here
42:35you throw
42:36hand grenades
42:36everywhere
42:37and then take off,
42:38leaving me in Destiny
42:39to mop up
42:40the rivers of blood.
42:40Ditch the mop
42:41and get a kayak.
42:47The land
42:48at Kingston,
42:49Premier,
42:49would be ideal
42:50for us.
42:51It would also
42:52take this tasteless
42:52government house
42:53idea off the table.
42:54Oh, sorry Destiny
42:55but we're about
42:56to announce
42:56that Football Tasmania
42:57have got Kingston.
42:59So isn't that us?
43:00Football Tasmania
43:01is soccer.
43:01You're football.
43:03You see,
43:04soccer is football
43:05and football's football
43:06but Football Tasmania
43:07is soccer.
43:10A much grander
43:12major infrastructure
43:13project down that way
43:15would shore up
43:16your electoral position
43:17there though,
43:17wouldn't it?
43:19No doubt.
43:20And that
43:21theoretically
43:22could involve
43:23the compulsory
43:25acquisition
43:25of soccer's
43:27parcel of land,
43:28couldn't it?
43:31So,
43:32as an ethical
43:32journalist,
43:33Alicia,
43:34if we accept
43:35that as a concept,
43:37I know that you
43:38would never
43:38divulge your sources.
43:39Of course.
43:40So,
43:41as an unnamed source,
43:42I can disclose to you
43:44that the Governor
43:45has today
43:45threatened me
43:46if I don't retract
43:47the press release
43:48about our meeting
43:49at Government House.
43:50Was this a threat
43:50of physical violence?
43:52Well,
43:52it can be interpreted
43:53a number of ways
43:54but again,
43:55it does raise questions
43:56about her fitness
43:57for office.
44:05Catherine?
44:05I've been knocking
44:06for ages.
44:08Sorry to drop around
44:09unannounced.
44:10No, no.
44:10Thanks for coming.
44:12Can I come in
44:13for a minute?
44:14Definitely an
44:15inside conversation.
44:15It'd be a bit nicer.
44:17Yeah,
44:17we spend all day
44:18inside though,
44:18don't we?
44:19Because it's warmer.
44:20It's a sensitive issue
44:22anyway.
44:23Not worried
44:24my house could be bugged?
44:25Are you holding
44:26a freak-off in there?
44:28Come in.
44:33Just checking
44:34I hadn't left
44:34any underpants
44:35lying around.
44:37So,
44:38Hugh,
44:39I was thinking
44:40could we
44:42be better served
44:43politically?
44:44Without a doubt.
44:45I hadn't finished.
44:46Sorry.
44:47Could we be better
44:48served politically
44:49by retracting
44:50the statements
44:51in our press release
44:52about the Governor?
44:53Got a call
44:53on the Vice Regal
44:54bat phone,
44:55did you?
44:55Well,
44:56Meredith denies
44:57leaking that story
44:58to the Mercury,
44:59to Alicia Sheerwater
45:00and,
45:01by the way,
45:02I'd really like
45:02to know who did.
45:03Would Alicia tell you?
45:04I know you said
45:05she was a second-rate
45:06moron,
45:07but no,
45:07no,
45:07that wasn't me.
45:08You said it
45:09a couple of days ago
45:10in your office.
45:10You called her
45:11a complete and utter
45:13No,
45:13no,
45:13I didn't say Alicia.
45:15I said
45:16A-Lisa.
45:17What's her name?
45:18From Melbourne.
45:18I mean,
45:19really,
45:19Hugh,
45:20implying the Governor
45:21should stand aside
45:22due to some
45:23neurological impairment
45:24is a bit rich.
45:26Because we employ
45:27Jamison,
45:27do you mean?
45:28What?
45:29Because she's
45:30the Governor.
45:31We're stuck
45:32with our story,
45:33though,
45:33aren't we?
45:33We can't admit
45:34to lying
45:35or we'd lose
45:35all credibility.
45:36So,
45:37we have to keep
45:37lying to maintain
45:38our credibility?
45:39Look,
45:40Alistair drafted it,
45:41so you need
45:41to take it up
45:42with him.
45:44Oh,
45:46you are
45:47entertaining someone.
45:48No,
45:49it's just we
45:49haven't gone public
45:50yet,
45:51so...
45:51I thought you
45:52were weirder
45:53than normal.
45:54Well,
45:54good for you.
45:55I'll get out
45:56of your hair.
45:57Yes,
45:57please.
46:00Hope it works
46:01out.
46:02Yeah,
46:02well,
46:02early days,
46:03so...
46:04Oh,
46:04of course,
46:04but you know...
46:07You're too kind.
46:08Good night.
46:09Bye.
46:14When are we
46:15going public?
46:17No,
46:17I...
46:18I posted a story
46:18about the Governor's
46:19threats.
46:20Thank you,
46:21Alicia.
46:21Hey,
46:22do you remember
46:23the name of,
46:23uh,
46:24Lisa?
46:25Yeah,
46:26the second-rate
46:26moron?
46:30Um...
46:42And how's Mona?
46:44Fantastic.
46:45Hi.
46:46Hey.
46:47That wall of
46:48vaginas is
46:48interesting.
46:50Reminded me of
46:50being in a meeting
46:51with the club
46:51presidents.
46:53Well,
46:54cheers.
46:54Cheers.
46:55Cheers.
46:56Oh, yeah.
46:56Well done,
46:57everyone.
46:57Not only have
46:58we failed to
46:58secure our
46:59preferred TNA
47:00locations,
47:00today I learned
47:01Football Tasmania
47:02just snapped up
47:03our non-preferred
47:04site at
47:04Kingston.
47:05What?
47:06Here's fucking
47:07to you.
47:08Aren't we
47:08Football Tasmania?
47:09No,
47:10that's soccer.
47:10Are they allowed
47:11to use the word
47:11football?
47:12Good point.
47:13Look into that.
47:13I've actually
47:14just been speaking
47:15with the Premier,
47:16who's, um,
47:17advised that the
47:17government will,
47:18on our request,
47:21compulsorily acquire
47:22Football Tasmania's
47:24land for an
47:24infrastructure project
47:25that is yet to be
47:26conceived.
47:27Before announcing
47:28several months
47:29later that the
47:30as yet unknown
47:31project will not
47:32be proceeding,
47:33placing the parcel
47:34of land back
47:35on the market,
47:35allowing a favoured
47:37bidder to acquire
47:39it.
47:40What's happening?
47:42The Premier's
47:43shafting soccer
47:43call.
47:44Well, I still
47:45think the location
47:46stinks, but in
47:46terms of screwing
47:48an opponent over,
47:48that's actually
47:49brilliant.
47:49Glad someone here
47:50understands the
47:51synergy between
47:51business and
47:52government.
47:53Great job,
47:54Destiny.
47:54You'll be eating
47:55salmon next.
47:58Excuse me.
47:59I just feel the need
48:00to wash my hands.
48:02Excuse me.
48:02I'm sorry to
48:03interrupt.
48:04I'm Pip.
48:05I spoke to you on
48:06Friday on the ABC
48:07in support of the
48:08stadium.
48:08Oh yes, the voice of
48:09reason.
48:09Because there's no team
48:10without a stadium.
48:11That's exactly right, Pip.
48:12And you were saying
48:13how you hope to
48:14double the number of
48:15children playing AFL?
48:17That's right, even more
48:18if I can get...
48:18I just wanted to point
48:19out that you can't
48:20play AFL.
48:22It's a competition
48:23and not a sport.
48:24What you play is
48:25Australian rules football.
48:27Right.
48:28Yes, well, thank you
48:29for that.
48:30Children don't go down
48:30to the basketball court
48:31to play NBL.
48:33No.
48:33And if they want to
48:34kick a soccer ball
48:35around, they don't say,
48:36oh, let's go and play
48:37some Bundesliga.
48:38Yes, all right.
48:38Or head down to the
48:39tennis court to play
48:40some Wimbledon.
48:41Yeah, that'd be
48:42ridiculous.
48:43So you get my point?
48:44I don't.
48:52What?
48:56Hello there.
48:57For fuck's sake, Catherine,
48:58if I find out who has
49:00been lying about me
49:01making threats,
49:01I will destroy them.
49:03Now listen to me.
49:04Yes.
49:04Oh, God.
49:05Leave it with me,
49:07Meredith.
49:08Catherine.
49:09Good evening, team.
49:11I didn't know you were
49:12coming or invited.
49:13Alistair, would you like
49:14to move along a bit?
49:16No, he's fine.
49:18Yeah.
49:20Alistair, I'd like to
49:21avoid being taken to
49:22court by the
49:23constitutional monarch's
49:25representative.
49:26Can we smooth this over
49:27so neither party
49:29loses face?
49:30You lot just fold
49:30like a foreskin,
49:31don't you?
49:32She is threatening
49:33to call all four of us
49:34to attest to the
49:35conversation.
49:35Well, I don't think
49:36we have anything to
49:37worry about there.
49:38Jamison, did you hear
49:39me at any time ask
49:40the governor to move
49:41out so the great
49:42Southern Football Club
49:43could take over
49:43Government House?
49:45Absolutely, I'll back
49:46you up on that 100%.
49:47She's also threatening
49:48not to approve
49:49any stadium legislation.
49:51Could you explain
49:52she's just an
49:52overpaid rubber stamp?
49:53I may have omitted that.
49:55Draft or attraction?
50:03Can I get Alicia
50:04Shearwater's number off you?
50:06Didn't she give it
50:06to you last night?
50:08Are we ready for some food?
50:09Is the club paying?
50:11Yes.
50:12In that case.
50:13I'll have a dozen
50:14Ostriche naturales,
50:16the Puppetto Rafforno,
50:17the Pachola di Miale
50:18with the Vodura of Aporo,
50:20and a bottle of the
50:23Amman Rousseau Claude de Roche
50:24Grand Croup,
50:25and one glass.
50:26Thank you, Mr. Penfold.
50:27Of course, you can have
50:28that meal on the condition
50:29that the AFL builds us
50:31a new commercial kitchen.
50:34There's no meal
50:34without the kitchen.
50:37Funny.
50:39Comedian.
50:39Funny.
50:41Alright.
50:42Okay.
50:44Joke's still going.
50:45Okay.
