00:01Now, Premier, welcome back to our program.
00:03The morning after sales pitch.
00:05The $100 off Rego, dropping our toll cap from $60 to $50, freezing Opal Fares.
00:11But our voters buying it.
00:12I don't think it's going to do much, this Opal pause thing.
00:16It's not that much of a difference, but, you know, it's still a bit of a difference.
00:19So, yeah, I think they're trying.
00:21Every little helps, I guess, but, yeah, I mean, I can imagine, like, a lot of other people

01:09not taking a victory lap.
01:11As the opposition prepares for its reply tomorrow, it's announced a policy to make Sydney a renewable
01:16energy zone.
01:17One would also be established at Broken Hill, while the New England zone would be scaled back
01:22after farmers fumed over transmission lines.
01:25It simply doesn't make sense to destroy prime agricultural land when we have options elsewhere.
01:32I think this is the first real world example of one nation having a massive impact on the
01:38Liberals and Nationals policy agenda.
01:40Battle lines drawn over energy as both sides power up their policies.

01:46However, I think that's a great result of the post-budget in the United States.
