Five double As twenty twenty five Federal Elections Special with David Penberthy and Will Goodings.

Well, let's just go nine o'clock Saturday night on election night. It's time to pick over what has transpired in the last three hours since the polls closed at six o'clock Adelaide time. We'd love your company right through for the next two hours, where we would encourage you wherever you are, whatever you're doing, to do two things. Jump on the live stream Facebook or YouTube and look in this magnificent new studio where we've got all the latest technology and can do seat by seat analysis. That's task one. Task two is to find your favorite glass and charge it with your favorite brew and accompany us over the course of the next two hours, where we're going to talk a bit about life, maybe a little about the election, a lot about whine. I suspect David Pemberthy, good evening to you. I want to start with here based on what we've heard in Matt Pantellus did a wonderful job throughout the evening thus far with what we know so far about the election. Is Vincent Tazi, the shining light of the Liberal Party in Australia. Well, yes, I think he is. Well, I think he is I think the man. I got to say.

I am still struggling to wrap my head around what has just occurred as we begin our to our election, special Wolf. We've got a bit of a history, now, haven't we of starting this program far too late? Because you think back to the last state election when Maley won the first of his what will probably be nine terms as premier in South Australia. We came on at about nine o'clock and it was all done in, dusted well. And yet again I think as we're talking, Peter Dutton is about to concede.

It's Peter Dutton now.

And Zac Day we caught up with young veterans in Townsville at the RSL and it reminds me of how lucky we are as a country. And I want to acknowledge all of those men and women in uniform who keep us safe as a country. Now, we didn't do well enough during this campaign. That much is obvious tonight and I accept full responsibility for that. Earlier on I called the Prime Minister to congratulate him on his success. Tonight it's an historic occasion for the Labor Party and we recognize that. I congratulated the Prime Minister and wish Tea and Jody and Nathan all the very best. And I said to the Prime Minister that his mum would be incredibly proud of his achievement tonight, and he should be very proud of what he's achieved.

Thank you.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with Ali France and Ali and I have been combatants for a number of elections, but she was successful in Dixon tonight and she will do a good job as a local member. She lost her son, Henry, which is a tragic circumstance that no parent should ever go through. And equally, I said to Ali that her son Henry would be incredibly proud of her tonight and she'll do a good job as a local member for Dixon, and I wish her all the very best. Please Now, it's been a great honor to be leader of this amazing party for the last three years, and I want to firstly acknowledge David Little Proud, who has made a great partner in crime. He's led the National Party with great distinction. He's had the strength of character to stand up on issues which are important to us and we've worked incredibly well together. He's done a great job and he will do into the future. I want to say thank you very much to Susan Lee as my and also Angus Taylor as a shadow Treasurer and other senior members who have contributed to the success of the last couple of years. I also want to say a very very big thank you tonight, most importantly to the millions of Australians who have supported the Liberal Party the coalition. It's not our night, as I point out, and there are good members, good candidates who have lost their seats or their ambition and I'm sorry for that.

We have an amazing.

Party and we'll rebuild.

Can I say thank you very much to John Olson as the President of the party. He's done a fantastic job. To Andrew Hurst and all of the secretariat for the work that they've done. I want to say thank you to my staff who are just amazing, led by Alex Degleish, Jody Martin, Jackie Selma, all of the EO staff, my advanced team, the AFP, who have done an amazing job for our family, and I want to say thank you very much. I have the best media team in the country, led by Nicole Chant and Adrian Barrett and their team. They've done an amazing job and I'm so grateful to them and to all of our loyal staff. Thank you very much. That leaves me, of course, with the hardest part. That is my amazing family Australians have seen. Please Joe boy, I'm blessed to have an amazing family in Kerly, in Beck and Harry and Tom and they pleasure. They've stood by me through dick and thin and I'm so grateful for their support and their love. Can I say thank you to the people of Dixon and to our amazing supporters in Dixon. Dixon had a one term curse. It was only ever held for one term at a time, and we've held it for twenty four years, which is an amazing achievement. Twenty four years is a long time to be in public life and it has been an amazing honor. But I do want to say thank you to the people of Dixon who have placed faith in me over a long period of time and we've had lots of battles and lots of campaigns. Ultimately we've been able to deliver an amazing outcome. For our local community, to residents and to people that we've been able to help people who were with loved ones, who were sick and stranded infrastructure projects. There are many ways in which we've been able to provide amazing support and I want to say thank you very much to them. Our Liberal family is herding across the country tonight, but including my electorate of Dixon, and I want to say thank you very much to all of them. They are amazing people dedicated to their country. Ultimately, we live in the best country in the world, and I've always believed that I always will. I love this country and I fought hard for it. We've been defined by our opponents in this election, which is not the true story of who we are. But we'll rebuild from here. We'll do that because we know our values, we know our beliefs.

And will always stick to them.

I want to say thank you to the Australian people for the faith they've placed in me, and thank them for great honor of having been the Member for Dixon and the leader of Opposition.

Thank you very much, thank you.

That's Peter Darton officially conceding the election at nine eight Adelaide time.

So exactly thirty six hours ago, we were sitting in the studio next door with Peter up Needing a Democracy sausage, and he had not a spring in his step, but he had the sort of giddy enthusiasm of someone who thought, who knows what's going to happen? Well, what has just happened is an unmitigated disaster for the Liberal Party. It's an unmitigated disaster for him personally. He's no longer a member of parliament.

The Liberals do not have a leader.

What a horrible way to make a living being a politician, having to stand there with your boys next to you on stage. Like I'm not saying that about not in a policy sense, just a in a human sense, like.

Losing an election and your job all at once on the same night.

So the last time a leader lost their seat was John Howard. Haven't lost his seat, but he wasn't the leader when he lost it. John Howard lost his seat in two thousand and seven. But Howard looked almost bacand when he lost bent a long lock.

I think in hei was ready to leave parliament.

Well, he lost the election and he was not going to stick around. Anybody promised he was going to stay. So losing bed Along was almost like an added bonus in a perverse kind of a way for Howard, but for but for Dutton in the in the total absence of any clear number two for the Liberals.

Like this is just what's never happened before. By the way, either an opposition leader has never lost this seat described like I just I think Christopher Pine about an hour ago described it best in one of the of the broadcast that's going on, and at that time he said, the only thing that's left to be determined about this election today and the result that's coming in is whether or not it's the worst result that the Coalition have ever had. And to look at it, Peter Didunt't came in and he was telling us off air, you know, about what reasons for hope and what his numbers got. I was telling him, yeah he.

Was maybe they were giving in all honesty, maybe they were actually giving him BS numbers.

Just to keep him going. Yeah, they do that sometimes in pol. Well, here's the numbers as they stand right now at ten past nine hour time, with about thirty thirty four point four to seven percent of the primary vote counted around the country. A two point four to four percent swing to labor. On first preferences, they're at thirty four point one eight the coalition. If you tally them all up, thirty point four to two percent, they've barely cracked a third of the vote. It's a four point three percent swing against an opposition against a sitting government the two party preferred number with all that considered right now, so they count preferences, that's slower the attribution of preferences, So that's at only seventeen point nine four percent of the vote. It's a four point seven seven percent swing to labor, fifty six point seven to forty three point two. Now it will come back a little bit general. Last time it came back one point six percent once they counted the postals. So imagine even if it came back two, it's a wipeout. Like you look at the seats that are changing hands. And we're going to go through South Australia in depth and we'll talk about some of those storylines in a moment.

Stick around, folks, because I think Will was going to do a bit of you like Waing doing his gymnastics routine during the UNDI drive last year. Wait till you see him going for Anthony Green on the touch screen. To be honest, I might have to rip out the wibbons. I don't know how we're going to get to two hours out of this. We'll find out. Hey, can we just say a big thank you to Powell's Liquor. Yeah, let's do it before we go any further.

Yeah. No, Sam, Sam Caffoni, Sam the Man Chance, Sam and Sam and Jamie at Pale's. Look at they they had this crazy idea because we did the cooking segment yesterday with Stacy Lee, which Powell sponsor obviously. But they have got some specials going at the moment, and we are sampling some of them tonight. We're currently drinking the Alpha box and Dice cab sav normally costs fifty five bucks get into Powe's Liquor at the moment out there in Salisbury, the five double a special forty one ninety nine. That's right, that's right. But no, Dame, that that's the deal because of steal, because Sam is completely demented. He also has given us a bottle of Sinco Sincordo Sincordo Gold tequila. And he did this for you will he knows you're a big basketball guy. This is the tequila that Michael Jordan wow with a few of his friends, the goat Amelia Fazalari, you know him.

No, Wick Griusbek, Yeah, Wick Grisbeck was that they're sort of there from the Celtics.

Ye, Genie Bus, Jenny Buss's bus, the bus family. Yeah, when being just sold the Celtics. And where's Eden's Bucks anyway? They make this tequila Miserations Bucks. We've got a bottle of tequila here that's worth four hundred and fifty dollars. Wow. If you go to Pals at the moment, you can get it for four hundred dollars. Quite the safe thing. That's extraordinary. Can we send it the breast post to Peter the player? He might need it, he might drink it all in one go.

But the plan was we were going to have the Michael Jaw and sincord Or Gold tequila, which is Crackerjack to killer. Ready for crazy things happening, e g. Peter Dutton loses your seat, take a shot. We're now just going to leave the lid on it. It's it's redundant.

All the crazy stuff happened, there's no more crazy left to take place.

And yet again here we are fifteen minutes into the show. As with Stephen marsh I think Stephen Marshall conceded before.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, just for the sake of our election show, can a liberal government somewhere put up a bit of a fight? I mean, this is getting really hard, folks. I'll tell you what.

Hearing DUT's name check John Olsen in his concession speech because a lot of people don't don't, probably don't know. John Olson is quite the big deal within the Liberal Party. He's the he's a national president of the Liberal Party. I think John Olson would have think, so, look, there's only one result that matters today. He does wonder that you called it?

Mate? What about that was superb? I was wondering, do you think for the best part of the last five years? When John Olsen's having a barbecue with his mates and they say, John, what's going on with the Crows, he says, well, look, I kind of focus my time on the Liberal Party and the Crows are on the side a bit. So yeah, do you reckon? Now? He's saying, to be honest, I haven't even checked in with the Libs for a while. We're focused on getting the Adelade Football Club back into the top. Frankly, today it was the loss we had to have and the Liberal parties in the very beginning of a massive rebuilding face. Has the Liberal Party just had the camp? Yeah? I think they've had. Are they about to have They're about to have the camp? What does that look like? They'll have to hear working class man while you're on a bus. Yeah, maybe maybe Yeah, And they'll have to go. They'll have to go to Elizabeth. I'll have to go. No longer, they'll have to go. The problem for them is they've actually got to go to all parts of the country and state. Like. The problem the problem.

For the Libs with this result they already gets scary for them is there's no there's no trumpy and blip, there's no there's no good news angle to this. There's no they didn't have big gains in blue collar seats where they were never going to win anyway. Like they haven't had a huge swing in Kingston, for example, which is you know, no lunger or dinger, my neck of the woods, Christie's Sully's, Like, there hasn't been a big swing there that's turned Amanda Rishworth's seat into a marginal seat. So they haven't they haven't won back the sort of oh yeah stuff, this s hi t sort of brigade. They haven't won any of those people. They certainly haven't won the inner city. So all these rich areas that used to be fifty to fifty liberal labor are now like, you know, sixty forty seventy thirty labor slash green the Libs.

So you know where do he held the camp? We were, well, that's a great it's what a debarker. Believe believe it, it's breath. Do you think it was going to be this bad? Not at all. No, that I thought we'd be sitting here talking. I thought we're gonna have one of those nights where the concession speeches are the sort of elbow coming up with a little bit of a rye grin saying, look, things are positive, but and they're all cheer and he says, well, we've obviously got a lot accounting still to do.

I thought we'd be calling, you know, one of the show on Tuesday, yeah, or something, we'd come in. I thought we'd be doing the breaky Show Tuesday and Wednesday, saying Okay, Duncan's held his seat. Boothby has been retained by Labor. Sturt has been lost by the Liberals, but it's taken three or four or five days.

This is a wipeout. I'll just go through that as of right now, remembering we only counted a third of the votes, sometimes more in some of these seats. But just just to give you a sort of in an oral sense, what kind of wipeout were doing Medio. The Libs had to win twenty plus seats we were talking about, some from the Teals, some from Labor. That was what they were needing to form government, will get close enough to minority government. Let me read out some names, Banks, Bass, Bonner, brad and Brisbane, Claire, Deacon, Dixon, Griffith, Hughes, like Art, Petree, Sturt. They are all seats that changed hands tonight, every single one of them but one the Labor Party.

Picked up from the Liberal Party. They picked up well not some they picked up from the Green, A couple from the Green.

Brisbane was the Greens, Claire was independent independent, but Andrew g was the in coompany. He was a National that quit the party and became an independent. Needs He's retained it, so same member, but typically technically a lost to the coalition. So they have lost what is that one, two, three, twelve, thirteen seats. We're a third of the way through. There's going to be more pain to come. There's no as you said, there's no green shoots, there's no rail, there's no you can't look at a state. Well, the only way you can look at state by state to get a sense of where was it least bad? There was no good like Queensland was at the cable.

Let's talk about this out Australia. We'll take a break. Is there anything worse for the liberals in South Australia. Let's explore that question after the break. All right, we'll do that in just a moment and tune into the live stream. Because we've got the big screen.

We can take some powers. Look, we're gonna act the screen. We've got the powers. Sam greasing the wheels of this analysis exactly right, ring it ing. Did a lot of text coming through make every time? Sorry? How good is lost? In translations? Translation? Is a great film? Has only seen them? I don't know.

She hasn't get in there. She hates Bill Murray though, Oh yeah, of course. I don't know why, how could any woman?

I hate Bill Murray. It's maybe he could run for the lead the Liberal Party be an excellent leader. He would be, I mean it would be worse, would he. Nineteen we get into what's happening in the story.

Five double As twenty twenty five Federal Elections Special with David Penberth and Will Goodings.

Yeah, welcome back to the post mortem of the federal election twenty twenty five. I'm seeing a lot of text coming through on zero before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five. I don't think do we have a mechanism by which you can even read them? David, Yes, we do. We do.

Here's one, Peter and Marston says, good evening, who's the new leader of the opposition? Please, Peter made If you know and you get it right, you win a million bucks. I don't think anyone's got the faintest idea. Who is it?

Certainly not the Fungus Taylor. Well, the book the Betting Market going into today, Angus Taylor was the favorite.

So the shadow Treasurer, who's been openly and rightly described didn't like anonymous liberal MPs as being as useful as.

An ashtray on a motorbike.

Didn't come up with it in the midst of the cost of living crisis that the nation has not seen in living memory, not since the recession. We had to have the Libs have led a government, most people said, Krikie. The last three years have been pretty tough. So the shadow Treasurer, who is the architect of this colossal failure to lay a glove on a very vulnerable, vulnerable government over cost of living, over energy prices. That guy's the leader, is he?

No?

I think his odds may have blown out. I suspect whose susan Andrew Hasty said, where's David Spears when you need him? It's just waiting. Maybe he's times he's run perfectly. Yeah, all right, I want to I want to direct your attention to the board, the big board over here, the big TV. Now, folks, if you're not, if you're not watching on the live stream, you've got to watch now because Will is in this is that was all right, I'm trying to get my best I know this is like where are the isobars? All right? So let's have a we're gon we're going to do is going to rip around the South Australian seats, just to give you a sense of really just how bad this was for the For the Libs, now this strong it's been for labor. So it's starting in the seat of Adelaide day its local member Steve Georgianas. He's been returned. The result was so bad for the Liberal Party that Steve George Jannas, who doesn't even have his own website, doesn't bother God, almost half the votes. Well, maybe there's something in that, because look at the two party preferred projection seventy point five percent twenty nine point four. If that is the case, they should delete every local member's website because maybe the secret of succeeds. He's been uncontacta books. If that's the case, Steve he is he's the poster child for the uncontactable local re member and that's what works. If you have an issue you'd like to get in touch with me, with me about feel free to talk about it amongst yourself. Exactly right. The Liberal candida Amy grant them almost well, I mean we're only got forty point seven percent of the vote counted and is in real danger of trailing the Green on first preferences.

This is this that's the public of Goodwood, isn't it. Yeah, well that, yes, it was where I voted this morning. Half the people in the que look like they're going a woodstock.

Were they disappointed at the right wing candidate Steve Georgianas has fault?

So well, this is the seat that was held by Trish Worth for more than a decade. Yeah, and the Howard government.

So Adelaide, no surprise, there a three point seven percent swing to the Labor Party on what was on the back of already a very strong seat. So let's move on from Adelaide, right in the heart of the city down into the southeast the seat of Mount Barker. This was never considered to be in doubt, always expected to be a safe Liberal seat. Toney Passen, a big member of the right of the Liberal Party here in the southeast, has suffered a bit of a swing against two point three two percent with fifty seven point ninety five percent of the vote counted, but he still enjoys a sixteen point six percent margin. So Tony Passen will be returned in the seat of Barker and will.

Move gracefully from the seat of Barker now to the seat of Boothby. Ah, Yes, booth b boomsby Boothby moves are amazing.

Do you like that? Just great thing graceful? Do you like that spelt? I'll show you that. I had a weird feeling that Nicole Flint was actually going to do all right. I thought the only seat that the Libs were going to hold in suburb and Adelaide might have been Boothbe purely because Nicole Flint was campaigning so hard, but she might as well have been bagging out against brick law. It is nine sight. It is staggering how easily Elouis Miller Frost has ultimately been returned in Boothbay. Again, some of these numbers will come back when the postals accounted, but not pay anywhere. It's going to make a difference, Like we're talking nearly a five percent swing to the incumbent to the Labor Party Boothby. That's a place where you've got a superstar candidate in Nicole Flint with huge name recognition, a seat Andrew South got held for the entire life blue ribbon of the Howard government.

It's only been held briefly by Labor since World War Two. I think one term it was held like the early fifties.

It's been a Liberal seat. I grew up in that seat.

When I was about six, we moved from O'Sullivan's Beach to Mitchell Park and I know that seat like the back of the hand, and.

It's always been liberal seat.

So that's the seat of Boone or you know it's it's a Labor seat for the next decade.

It is on this basis. If you notice that the seats we've gone through South thuspheron South Australia on first preferences, the Liberal candidates typically a closer to the Green than they are the Labor Party. Just to give you some sense of the scale of what was How are these graphics? The graphics are great. This is better than television. This is this is like television on the radio. Wasn't that taken off? Boothby's done? I want to have a quick We've got a special get there's Gray Tom Venning. There's a bit of conjecture about this because Roland Ramsey, of course was the sitting member for a long long time. He's left and he almost lost that seat. Look at that. So if you add.

It's hanging on the two party preferred projection there is that the Libs win it. Where'd you see how those preferences flow?

Well, the AEC this say this one's done. Okay, so they I know what you're saying.

That you've got a mega saved that should be a twenty percent Liberal seat. Yeah, you've got a climate to a candidate and need to cook there seventeen percent alp Green's five percent. This isn't a place where people are like chewing straw and herd and sheep in their spare time.

And the Libs have barely held on. We might just take a break from our analysis of South Australias seek by seat because the Prime Minister Anthony Alberinezi has just come to the podium at his speech at his labor HQ, where he will reckon be in a pretty reasonable mood. Here's the promise, and I.

Pay my respects to elders, past, present and emerging today and every day.

Today.

The Australian people have voted for Australian values, for fairness, aspiration and opportunity for all, for the strength to show courage and adversity and kindness to those in need. And Australians have voted for a future that holds true to these values, a future built on everything that brings us together as Australians and everything that sets our nation apart from the world. In this time of global uncertainty, Australians have chosen optimism and determination. Australians have chosen to face global challenges the Australian way, looking after each other while building for the future and to serve these values, meet these challenges, seize these opportunities and build that better and stronger future. Australians have chosen a majority labor government. I think the Australian people have got the name a majority labor government promised and delivered.

A short time ago.

I spoke with Peter Dutton, who has of course conceited defeat, and I thank Jim No. I know what we do in Australia is we treat people with respect. I thanked Peter for his generous words at the end of what has been a very hard fought campaign, and I want to take this opportunity to wish Peter and Kirale and their family all the very best for their future.

Now.

At election time, parties and candidates ask people to make a choice, and inevitably the campaign and the coverage is about our differences and our disagreements. That is the nature of our democracy and it is the role of the media who serve it. But that the Australian people have made their clear choice, let us all reflect on what we have in common. Because no matter who you voted for, no matter where you live, no matter how you worship or who you love, whether you belong to a culture that has known and cared for this great continent for sixty five thousand years, or you have chosen our nation as your home and enriched our society with your contribution, we are all Australians. So let all of us work together to build our national unity on the enduring foundations of fairness, equality and respect for one another. My fellow Australians, I know the world has thrawn a lot at our country over the past three years. I know so many of you have worked hard in the face of significant challenges, and I know there's still much more to do to help people under pressure. That is why it means so much that in these uncertain times, the people of Australia have placed their trust in labor once again, including so many Australians who have voted labor for the first time, I make this solemn pledge. We will not forget that. We will never take it for granted. Repaying your trust will drive our government each and every day of the next three years. The positive program we took to this election was shaped by the Australian people'sorities, and our government will dedicate the next three years to making a positive difference to your lives and to your future, bringing the rewards for your hard work within reach, investing in our youngest Australians, looking after older Australians, and building an economy and a society that is every bit of strong affair, as resilient and generous as Australians are themselves from tomorrow tomorrow back at work. Maybe not everyone here, and that's probably for the best. We take up this task when new hope, new confidence, and new determination, because together we are turning the corner, and together we will make our way forward, with no one held back and no one left behind.

Friends.

I was raised to be an optimist. My mum had a hard life and we struggled financially, but she taught me to always be positive and see the best in people when it comes to Australia's future. All of us have so much reason to be optimistic because when we look at everything going on around the world today, when we consider the changes that will shape the future of the global economy, when we think about our people and there's smarts and skills. Truly, there's nowhere else you'd rather be than right here in Australia. This is a time of profound opportunity for our nation. We have everything we need to seize this moment and make it our own. And we must do it together, all of us. Because for Australia to realize our full potential, for our nation to be its very best, every Australian must have the opportunity.

To be their best.

To serve our Australian values, we must value every Australian, and labor will govern for every Australian. Every Australian who wants a fair go at work, fair wages, fair wages for their work, and the right to disconnect when they're done with work. Every Australian who deserves the security of a roof over their head or dreams of owning their own home. Every woman who wants her contributional our economy and society to be valued equally. Every parent who wants their child to get the best start in life with cheaper childcare and with fair.

Funding for every student in every school.

Everyone who counts on the National Disability Insurance Scheme. We will be a government for every Australian who wants to train or retrain for new skills and a good job at public tafe. Every Australian who works hard for the life changing opportunity of higher education and wants twenty percent cut from their students debt. Every Australian who knows that climate change is a challenge.

We must act together to meet for the.

Future of our environment, and knows the fact that renewable energy is an opportunity we must work together to see for.

The future of our economy.

We will be a government that supports reconciliation with First Nations people, because we will be a stronger nation when we close the gap between Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians and friends. We will be a government that relies and helps every Australian who relies on Medicare.

Because this card, this.

Card is not Labor red or Liberal blue, It is green and gold. It is a declaration of our national values in our national colors. Medicare belongs to all Australians and together we will make it stronger for all Australians.

Well, a bit of a.

Bit of a repeat in some of the key lines there of there he's still going, He's still going, he's still going.

He's got the credit card out or not the credit cards out, the Medicare card during the victory speech. That's the for I reckon for the Libs. That's the equivalent of Jack Reewolt singing with the Killers on stage after the game.

There was quite a bit in Elbow's speech that was actually like a deliberate up yours to the Libs. I think the fact that he started so strongly with the acknowledgment of country yes, past, present and emerging. We respect Indigenous leaders past, present and emerging. Given the attempts by the Libs with the attack ad that they put out on the Thursday just into dumber Jimmer Price seizing on the Penny Wong clanger about how the voice is somehow inevitable, the fact that Albo started with that was like we're not going to be cowed.

This is what we stand for, and you.

Tried to target us over it and we'll boohoo, look where that got you. So there was a bit of that and getting the getting the old Medicare card out at the end there too. But my understanding is that Anthony Albanize he hasn't had a drink for about a year, maybe longer. He was quite rocked by that car accident where he was. He was actually very lucky not to die in that praying, and he became healthy after that. Used to get on the turps quite a bit, Albo, and he's been obstimious for some time. I don't reckon there'd be a pub in Marrickville that's safe tonight.

Why wouldn't you. He needs to get to Pal's liquor, he might say. He should some great specials of the alphab boxing do on the alpha box of nice Cabinet. He should ask for the five double a only price. You know.

The worst thing about that Albo speech was that it interrupted you will doing your absolutely superb unbelievable work.

With the electrics. We're going to resume that we only get up to boothbye. I was starting to really get up to great. I was feeling at home with the big screen. You'll get back into it.

A moment was watching Tauvel and Dean, I felt that it was only one of you. Yeah, I thought you were dancing with yourself. To quote Billy Idol, Well, I felt a bit like that, or maybe the other.

Christine amphlip Lyric's one hundred and fifty one seats in the Lower House. Labor has right now confirmed eighty five. You need seventy six to four majority. Just give you some sense of the scale of this and we away tonight. So the Libs currently have thirty three that live national the coalition is thirty three seats. There's only nineteen remaining. And remember so the best case scenario for them is fifty two. Yeah, if they win everyone. And here's the worst part for the Libs, the ones that, of course are not decided yet. Where are they wa they might get to forty seats, well, they might struggle to anyway, let's take a break from wa yet they're just they're too early to call a lot of them, but they are dribbling in. We might take a break.

Those results came in thick and fast, no problems. There you were, there, you were, I was there, exactly right.

Call everything. I'll call something tomorrow. If you want what's on next, it's that time of the night. Maybe start turning, they start turning your attention to the dog racing in South Africa. I just need to have another punt.

Yeah, what's on It's going to be something that moves Race eight in Yeah, Cape Town.

I've been there, my friend. It's a dark place. Let's take a break. When we returned. The Premier of South Australia, Peter Malanowskis, is going to join.

Five double As twenty twenty five Federal Elections Special with David Penberthy and Will Goodings.

Just continue to pull over the results in the break there and we're going to chat with the Premier in a moment Peter Malanowskis about what has been a resounding victory for the Labor Party tonight right around the country. There's no point breaking it down by state because everywhere you look there's red on the map. They're going to be returned, probably with somewhere in the order ninety plus seats, a punishing majority. There's a story a win like this, No, there's a development story with the Greens. Adam Bant's seat in Melbourne is very much in play. At the moment and he's at a risk of losing it. Max Chandler, a man of seat in Griffith, there is I'll tell you what for Albo. If Adam Bant loses his seat and Labor form well that Labor arga to form majority government. If Adam Bant loses his seat to borrow a line from Paul Keating in nineteen ninety three, this will be the sweetest victory. Well, he held up the housing policy for years, didn't he. And griff of two I'm just looking at that. That looks like the Greens they might lose that seat as well at the moment. So well, the.

Greens are sidelined from this result. Yeah, they're not a relevant how many and we know we've got a lot of conservative people who listen to our shaw. Maybe this is the silver lining, is that the Greens are now like they're irrelevant. The Greens can huff and paff and talk about.

Being purer than pure and you know, want to treat anyone who's got an investment property like a flat and plimpton in addition to their principal place of residence like the Geena Reinhart well bully for you because you do not have a spot on the dance floor on the national stage now increasingly looking that way. The Premier of South Australia is currently in the steat the seed of Sturt, where he's Transport Minister. Trumply tweeted a couple of hours ago, and I actually think, Premier, and good evening to you. This might represent the greatest achievement in the history of the labor movement in Australia. You guys won the Burnside booth.

Good evening to you, Good evening, real good evening though.

That's got to be the high point, doesn't it.

Oh. Look for me, I'm just happy for all the people that have worked so hard. And you know, politics is a brutal business and I no doubt there's people in the Little Party that have worked hard too tonight and I think of them as well. But I'm just happy for you know, in terms of my side, you know, there's lot of people have worked really hard. And Claire Carterham in Sturred in particular, who becomes the newest Labor member of Caucus from South Australia. She's a really talented woman and I think she's going to do a good job for the for the people in the eastern suburbs of Metro Adelaide. But the results are you know, they're they're remarkable. But I think it's just important everyone's focused on getting to work. But I just heard you to tail An it. Did you say that, Adam Bans.

It's in play. Yeah, it's in play at the moment. Yeah.

Well that I mean, I mean, people who know my politics will know that I was particularly happy to see some of those green seats in Brisbane return to labor. That's something we've been keeping eye on for a while, even from here in Adelaide. I've been talking to my colleagues about and there was much hope that we'd win back Brisbane and Griffith was certainly something for Griffin and Ryan was sort of like one hundred percent result. So for that to have been achieved, like I said, people you know my policies won't surprise them that I'm particularly happy about that.

Well, can I ask you a question in a big sense now, because Australia, you know, we're the twenty eighth most populous country on Earth. You know we're a significant, medium sized country. Does this election tell you that the because the center has been declared politically dead. For a long time now, over the last through the rise of Trump, the consensus has been that the political center is dead. Does today show that the political center is back? Baby? I hope so.

Not just this result of the Canadian result too, because if you look at what the new Canadian prime minister did, very quickly, they jettison some of the more I guess, some of the policies, some of the policies that are associated with being a bit more sort of out there, and the new Canadian Liberal prime minister I very much identified him as a as a center left type prime minister, which I think you know, Prime Minister Albernezi has done consistently too, Like he hasn't cooked up retrospective tax increases, he hasn't been woke. He I think he's you know, straight up and down. And I think, you know, this is a representation of the fact that I think much result largely reflects where the Australian electorate is at and they don't want to see obsessions with the culture wars that just want to see people focusing on sort of routine policy weren't particularly ecademic policy work, and people can debate the merits of those policies, but they just want to see at least a focus on those things.

So I can I ask you a Questionally, it might sound like it's not meant to sound rude, but there was a bit of a sort of sense locally lucky in the essay, and we saw it with some of the candidates who were using your pictures rather than how those pictures on their out of cards and their leaterbox material and all of that. There was a bit of a and some of the journeys, including I think we probably said it ourselves, well, you know, for Albow's failings here an essay, they're going to rely on Malley's popularity to try to pump up his tires a bit. Do you actually think that tonight shows that everyone, possibly even including the Labor Party historically has actually underestimated Elbow's ability to just tap into ordinary people in the middle.

You just asking me about this to remember it just as I was calling you know, you guys were asking about this other at the beginning of this year or the end of last year, and about how are those trotting along? And my response to you was, as everyone consistently underestimates this boat.

YEA the Norward.

The Nord speech where you introduced him were wrapped up after he spoke at Nord the Nord High School.

And also and there was an interview that we did at some point a few weeks back as well. And I just, you know, everyone, every time this guy gets underestimated, he proves people wrong. And there's a it's a it's a theme. So but look, I've you know, I've lucky enough to I've got to know a lot of labor leaders over the years. I can honestly say that he is the one that I feel really at ease talking to, Like I can have a normal conversation with him, and not just about politics. We talk about politics clearly, and policy and issues, but I can talk to him about other other things that a normal conversation would have. I think he does have a natural way with people. And I remember speaking to him just before Christmas saying, I think one of the great strengths that will come through in the campaign is he looked in campaigns, leaders necessarily have to be about and about amongst people, and he looked very natural in that environment. I think that came through in the images that people saw in the television sets. But but it's it's a great credit to him and the whole team. It's as a stunning result for Abba and I'm I couldn't be happier for him.

Now, too important matters. You managed to read a democracy sausage today and we haven't got a review yet. Howd it go down?

So I had it at Tranmere and at Saint Joseph's Primary School and it was the most gall made democracy sausage I've never put my lips around. There was, there was flavor galore in that. It was that it was you know, there's a strong Italian community in these and something that lad to where I was today and it would have been right up there rally. So then and then I went to vote later in the day in my booth in Brompton and I've got the far more traditional could have could have been, could have been from Cole's or someone like that, And the distinction was very evident the moment compared the two. It was but well done. It was very good. They were selling what they were selling pretty well, so hopefully they made a bit of a quid at those schools throughout the state today.

Yeah, we had people sending as photo as Norwood Primary School, and you know, all over the place terrific.

There are a lot of them. Want to ask you one serious question because Peter sent it through, and I think this is actually really interesting thing to contemplate on a night when the Federal Labor Party is going to enjoy a pretty punishing majority in the lower House. We don't know what the Senate yet. We'll have to look on that a little bit later. But Peter asks, is now the time for labor to be brave with tax reform, including things like family trust, capital gains, gas minerals, royalties, things like that. And I guess, rather than concerning the specifics, which I appreciate, you weren't coming on the idea of capitalizing on the political opportunity that exists now. Is that kind of thinking something you would encourage.

I always think there's good reason to be ambitious with policy. I think there's best achieved when you take a policy to an election like that. That's always advantageous. And I think the Federal Labor Economic team have pretty consistent about what they want to do around tax I think they've ruled out much of the things that you've just described, so, but I think there's other opportunities to be ambitious around policy beyond just tax reform, and they do have an agenda too, And I think that that was the thing that probably surprised me most as the campaign went on, is the discrepancy and the volume of policy between the two parties. Like you did get a sense that was there were policies that were being rolled out by federal labor, and sure people can debate the merits of those. At least there were policies, and I didn't see much of that from the Libs in a way that surprised me. So I think they'll focus on getting on the job of just doing what they they've committed to. Visit there's an agenda there.

Give a look when you because in a sort of political sense, premiere, you're sort of playing you know, you're in a good spot now politically, but you're playing s a NFL and now they's playing AFL on a nightlight tonight. You have a look at go oh wow, how good would it be to be standing up there given that speech?

No, no, no, no, because no I don't, because I feel I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do. And you know, we we have got a good relationship with the federal government. What I see those speeches be given tonight, I think, Okay, what could I ask for next?

Yeah, go hard, get in there exactly exactly.

So look, I mean look but pedial you know, I mean the one that's follow my mind that you know, we do a lot of what we're to do, but we're in a good spot is buy Ala. But there'll be other There'll be other opportunit it is to.

Do you reckon.

You can tell them to get off their backsides and get some more age care spaces because your ramping problem is in large degree. And I'll tell you what if it was if it was a Dutton government, not now of an easy government, you would have gone to war over them about the lack of age care spaces, wouldn't You know?

You're going to hear a lot from all the states about age care. And I've been on I've been on the phone to my colleagues, other premiers around the state, Liberal and Labor. You're going to hear a lot from us about this because it's not a there's not a hospital system in the country. There's not a hospital system. And that's not in the country. That's not clocked up because of age care.

So I think the labor governments, with state labor governm has been biding their tongue out of political expediency for too long on this issue.

Well, well, I can't think of an interview where I've been asked about this rather than spoken pretty frankly. Because it is a problem. The country is going to have a front.

I mean you can rip into them now. He's going to be Prime minister the next ten years.

But yeah, look I appreciate the advice.

We're just glad you liked the sausage. Yeah, what was What was in it? Garlic, rosemary and red wine. So it was a classic Italian combo.

It was.

It was Honestly, it was the most flavorsome democracy sausage I've had. I can say that courts add one more thing. I thought Peter Dutton's concession speech from I didn't see all of it, but I did see most of it. I thought it was pretty classy. Second thing I'd say is that people always focus in on the contentious things that happens on polling booth and I can't remember an election where there hasn't been a issue about a Coreford or or you know, a jibe or whatever. But I was at a few different places today and I saw nothing but people getting on and voting and doing it civilly, different points of view, volunteers being kind to one another. It was I just wish everyone saw it through that lens, because notwithstanding the big points of difference, I saw there was only civility today, which I thought it was a good sign for democracy in our country versus other parts of the world at the moment.

The really important point in great point, you know, you think about a lot of the other kings. I actually think people who come to Australia from other parts of the world and become citizens here are actually the ones who get that more than people like me who've grown up as anglos in Australia, where you sort of take it for granted, like a lot of people here, be they from Venezuela or chad or you know Mexico where I can remember being in Mexico when they had Marshall Law declared nineteen ninety four ahead of the election and then the presidential candidate, Luis Colossia was assassinated in Tijuana.

Was that was the election that year in.

Mexico incomprehensible to us here we do not for all the problems with our democracy and the citizen, I get it. I'd rather be voting here or participating in our democratic process than anywhere else.

Yeah, totally one. So what's the player now? You is something you have a few? Is this something of partner? No? No, no, no, no.

I'm on my way home, on my way. There's a few people getting.

Down, Premier. What's that You're very you're very buttoned down these days with your job.

Well listen, if I get look, if I go out on the turf tonight and I'm doing a media cofferce tomorrow morning, you're going to be asking about it on Monday.

Yeah, you're right exactly.

I'll let you guys have a few.

Don't worry. No encouragement challenge accepted. Have one for me, at least we will thank you form it. The Premier of South Australia, Peter Manaska, is good enough to give us some of his time. I'm just having a look as he was talking, because we talk, we lament as people that just sit here and talk about this and uh, the Premier it's not gonna come on this, but acutely aware of the degree to which marginal seats buy you attention. Booth being Sturt, we get, we get the Prime Minister and the opposition leader in South Australia on the final day, right, they buy you attention spending so forth. Whatever, What does a marginal seat in South Australia look like after this? There's there's not a true marginal as far from what I can tell looking at this dart Off right now. The most marginal seat, it'll be great, it'll be, but it'll be Stt, It'll be Stert and Sturt's had an eight point one percent swing to the Labor Party. So by marginal you mean Stirt is now a seven percent Labor seat. That will be as marginal the way things are currently falling. Maybe Gray, Maybe you're right with Gray, Gray, Gray is going to be closer. It's going to be like four percent. Gray's fifty six forty force call it on two party preferred. Yeah, Gray, Gray will be likely be the most margin.

Like.

So, the point I'm trying to make is next election, I wouldn't expect the whole heap of visits. Mind you, where do your visit if you're a Liberal leader, Hey, can I just read out this text. It's really good.

I refer to David's comments one year ago on the Breakfast Show. You said Labor were in complete disarray, and he said, quote, I'll bet my house that Labor will be a one term government role. My question is, well, David resigned. Now the person who wrote that text didn't leave their name. I was going to say, maybe can come and stay your place, but no.

I did say that.

I said it after the voice result because I just thought there was such a cataclysmic result for Albo, given he'd placed so much store on it, and it blew up in his face. There wasn't a single electorate in South Australia that voted in favor of it, and it looked then like he was completely disengaged from day to day reality. But you know, at the time I've said it, but clearly.

Not to be.

Interpreting it results is really hard on the night. But I'm just gonna have a crack here. So one hundred and twenty nine thousand votes have been calculated for the Senate in South as straight about ten percent. Actually that can't be temper, No, it probably would be about ten percent. The Labor Party t probably enough to work it out. The Labour Party's had a swing two of four point one percent, the Libs wing against six point seven. The Greens have gained one one nation one point six. What about independence? What have they done? Is there a total number? Because that might mean something for Rex Patrick. I've got everyone here. Jackie Lamby went up to well that Jackie Lmby had no starting point, so what do you get? So she's on three thousand and one of thirty seven. This is the first preferences, So again before you get to preferences in sethern Senate is everything. But here's the quotas as they stand right now. Labor's on two and a half, the Libs one point nine, Yeah, the Greens point nine six one nation point thirty nine, legalized cannabis point two to one.

I gave them a preference. I reckon a lot of people. I was at mum's eightieth birthday today, Happy birthday, Mum.

We had a great day. We would have to on.

Dean Happy birthday. Yeah, we had a really good day. But we're all talking about how we had to do all our preferences. We vated above the line. This is me, Kate jim Sof, my dad my mum, Andy, my sister Beck, my nephew will Manisse, Charlotte. We're all talking about how did you fill out your six and we went yeah, we all gave the cannabis people to vote, so and the cannabis people are going to go on because we're all like.

Massive stones or anything.

We can.

Let me put everybody bid right now. Mother having a chi well it's not what she does.

Eighties not too old to begin. She's more an ild gray tea time just to take the edge off. So frosty opos, let's look at this for a second. The marijuana people.

I mean, if this is South Australia, we're the twelve plant rule wrong. TI Legalized cannabis as we speak has two hundred and sixty four more votes than Trumpet of Patriots. What do you think they spend on their campaign? Clive Farmer? Can we just thank Clive publicly now for playing the rent here at five double A for the next two years. Did you know that actually legalized cannabis sent out texts? They're all from h bong. Did you make that up?

Then?

Thank you very much? Thank you from the bong. Should we take a break, let's do it. I think we should. We should definitely, you know what we should do. Conversation's gone in an unusual direction. Well, that's what happens when you look at the Senate. You know what we should do? Powers liquor, Powers liquor for your liquor of choice, Alpha box and dice cabinet. And what's the price? How do you get off it? At the moment you get a whole stack of it, you get about twenty percent off it. If you listen to our coverage to I guarantee you Sam, We'll give you another couple of bucks off. Oh he will. There you go. And if you wanted someone that really flashed Michael Jordan tequila, you say fifty bucks off that he's the greatest of all time for the reason four Now some of that don't feel too bad about the fact that you gambled and lost your own home tonight on a liberal win. I just want that person to text me back till we were because I won't come and sleep in their spare room because you did that six months ago. Matt Abraham staked his political credibility two days ago. He's coming up right after the break.

Five double As twenty twenty five Federal Elections Special with David Penberthy and Will Goodings.

We've received a host of texts over the course of the election show thus far, a lot from liberals lamenting the loss of their party, a lot of happy labor listeners that have tuned in. A lot of people are going to get the Pals liquor to buy some of the veno that's been on display in the course of the last sixty two minutes. But many, many, irrespective of your view on consumption or indeed politics, have asked for Matt Abraham. Well, we ask and you share shall receive. Matt Abraham. Good evening to you.

Good evening, Will, good evening.

So Matt, yes, you know it's coming.

Matt, don't mention the war.

See I said a year and a half ago. I tend to think labor could win. You said it this week. So I'm trying to shift attention off myself onto you. Obviously.

Yes, Terry on Twitter has asked when your house goes on the market. But can I just say it's not the worst tip I've made in the last few days because I tipped the powder bag Western Borders.

Oh no, really, I've had a bad week.

It's been a bad week.

We didn't ask Mali about the port result.

Not as bad a week as it has been for Peter Dutton.

It is crazy, isn't it. It's a it's a crazy result, Matt, And can I ask you in all seriousness like we you and I talk a lot. We talked off the show like we text each other with different observations about things. Do you think the Libs have made the mistake of becoming.

Too obsessed with the sort of American style culture war things that a lot of a sort of gay Yeah, you know, we do. No one wants to see a blake who's only recently changed gender competing in women's sport, for example, just to pick that as one thing.

But that sort of stuffs.

As irritating as it might be to mainstream people, those things are not the basis for a political party, are they.

No, No, they're no. I think that's a good observation. And the Liberal there was a huge problem here, and the problem was Peter Dutton, who has done his party a favor and he had a look, it was a wonderful concession speech, very gracious, but he was a huge drag on the Liberal vote. But you've also got to keep in mind that just less than two weeks ago, the polls were showing the Liberals were fifty one forty nine, so they were had fifty one forty nine. It was showing their primary vote ahead of Labour's primary vote. And that's all just in the course of two weeks. It's just sort of collapsed. It's just sort of absolutely collapsed as I think people start to focus on elections and you know, we know election campaigns can come down to the last week, the last few days. That the result is quite extraordinary. It's been compared actually to I think the Whitlam landslide when in terms of the size of a swing, you know, the swing's nearly four percent on two party preferred, so Labor parties two party preferred national vote is nearly fifty six percent. That's a huge vote. So we were, you know, we're people all the polls were picking a Labor win but possibly a minority governments, you know, so they'd they'd just sort of been hanging in there. So I think the last News poll had fifty three, had Labor Party on fifty three or a nearly fifty six, And so I've just been tracking and this is why I use pencil on election night because you just keep rubbing it out. Because the skies so that the tipping point for majority government with seventy six seats there now according to Sky they're on eighty two. According to the ABC when they've finally fixed their magic whiteboard, they're on eight. They've got the ALP on eighty six, Liberal National Party on forty and there's about fourteen seats undersideed. Now that is just an enormous.

So how did it get that bad for the Libs? I mean, how how did the Libs when you know, we hear people who are labor voters going, people who like text and call our show saying, look, I'm a labor person, but my power bills, I don't understand how renewables work, or I am struggling because of.

Rate increase after interest rate increase. So all of these things happened, but the Libs didn't seem to synthesize an alternative model, did they. Like we had nuclear as a big fanfare announcement about a year ago, but then the practical sort of implementation of that got bogged down and that almost seem embarrassed by that policy.

During the campaign, we certainly.

Didn't sell it during the campaign, and you know, I think there was something to be sold there, but a new powers not popular in Australia, even though we've got both parties supporting ORCUS where you know, it was pointed out one of the pieces I think I was reading in the Olds this morning. You know, we're going to have Australian sub mariners, you know, about two meters away from nuclear reactors in a cigar shape steal up. And that's okay. And when we're spending billions, we're spending billions to make that happen. And yet there's great fear and loathing about nuclear power and the other thing. And you would have seen tonight Anthony Albanezi and his victory speech fishing in his pocket and I thought, what's he doing. He looked for his car keys or something, and he pulls out he pulls out the Medicare card. Now, there were two big symbols of this election campaign. One was a Medicare card and the other was Peter Dutton at the petrol pump, you know, twenty five cents a lead off the petrol pump, and you know that was his signature sort of. I suppose image. You know, I think he went to seventeen service stations during the campaign. It seemed like a lot more. But Anthony Albanezy had his Medicare card and it's it's just such a potent symbol here. Now, the mystery here is that the Liberal Party matched Labour's commitment on Medicare. Matter of fact, they exceeded it in terms of spending on Medicare. People just didn't buy it. I just know that there was history, there were.

Done that petrol promise. That promise was like you know, I don't know anyone who was excited about that. No one was licking their lips about it, going oh wow, we're going to get twenty five percent cheap of petrol for one year and then.

It's going to go back to what it was. So temporary.

It's not like when I hope Terry and Henley Beach's listening because I'm going to say something nice about John Howard.

What, yeah, I really like him.

If you had a kid, if you had a kid when John Howard's Prime Minister, you got three thousand dollars like that was a pole.

I think we might have decided at the time to have two children because of that because we wanted six thousand dollars like it was just obviously the joy of having a child as well, but the joy of having a big screen TV who plays you know?

That was a policy that was like, yes, and given our birth rate at the moment, maybe somebody else should have a bit of a think about bringing in a baby bonus, you know, one for one, one for dad, one for the country.

That was a policy. HARKing back to something you said, Man, it carries on for what David's saying there that the Liberal Party on the national on the federal levels traded for a long time on the better economic manager tag. Is that officially dead now in terms of I don't mean in terms of what the history tells us about the accuracy of that claim. I mean the idea that that actually resonates in the minds of the average voter, because if ever it was going to, it should have in the middle of a cost of living crisis, inflation out of control and circled. Surely it was all set up to play to that bias if it existed, So I wonder if doesn't exist anymore?

Well, I think the problem is no one believes labor are better economic managers, and you know the facts of that, you know, this enormous deficit, enormous debt that there's no escaping that, the cost of living over the first three years, I mean, the economy has been terrible. Fourteen interest rate rises in a row, we had, et cetera, et cetera. Some of those factors I know are beyond the government's control. But it's almost as though either voters said, well, we don't think the liberals can fix it, and we don't think labor can fix it. But are we also in an environment now where debt doesn't you know, people absorb debt that you know, they're used to maxing out credit cards. You know, they're used to carrying big debts on their houses, and they would rather see the government spending money supporting them then worrying about debt.

Now.

You know, I think long term that's going to be a big problem. You know, but who's thinking long term? Who's long term?

You know, when you're trained post COVID not the thing long term? Yeah, money is an abstract concept these days.

Yeah, and so you know, can the liberals say well, we're better economic managers and people go, yeah, okay, hey.

Matt, what do you think it means for the South Australian lives ahead of the next state election, which is the next election to be held in Australia.

I think is is it the Victorian election then the South Australian election. We're pretty much one of the newt We're very close.

We're very close, yeah, as will be in what March next year, so we're not far we're not far off it you look, there's not one labor seat House of Rep seats in Tasmania, not one. There's not Victoria, which that where the Libs were hoping to pick up seats swung to labor. In southat Australia though, there's not now because the Liberals have lost Sturt with a huge swing eight nearly nine percent. So Claire Claverholm, who's a new MP, has rolled the Liberals. She's on a two party preferred vote of fifty eight percent. So Sturt's labor. There's not one Liberal metropolitan seat in South Australia. They're all labor and they're not marginal seats anymore. There's not one. There's not one marginal metropolitan seat anymore. BOOTHB Boothbe's now you know what there was a nearly eleven percent swing to the ALP, so that the booth bees. You know, I think the margin boot is now nearly thirteen percent. Now, you know, we've got pre polls coming in all that sort of stuff and postals, but the analysis seems to be they're not can make much difference. So you've got two things. Well, you know that photo, it was an incredible photo of Peter Maltinauskus Nath in the alban easy swing farmers unionized coffee. You know that that was gold and it's sort of brought together so many messages that was, you know, as Paul Steric rights in the ties of this morning. In his analysis it was a supremely staged, managed photo opportunities, no doubt about that. But you know that's politics. You know, it's called retail politics, is what they call it. And the image was very very powerful on a lot of levels. You know, it was down to earth. Malanauskis is there, you know, he is a precious commodity on the campaign trail. Was anyone that was anyone sort of breaking their neck to be seen with Vincent Tazia, Yeah, I mean.

He wasn't any of the out of that cars was w Blake.

You've got a party here, you know, Liberal party, Liberal brand in South Australia's toxic, and we've got an election. It's been held just you know, after you've got a conviction of the former leader on drug charges to which he pleaded guilty. I mean it's you know, you've got another one.

Given the surging vote for the legalized cannabis people, maybe he should have had a crack.

To speak a few.

Here? Who was it? Lisa in Nava Gardens like me, she gave the cannabis party your preference.

Did you give the cannabis people a preference? Matt, No, they're a harmless enough. Can I just listen a bit of pink Floyd.

I'm one of the I'm one of the few people who work at the ABC who hasn't smoked.

Had he drug tessue there to make sure that you've taken it. You're great.

I love you and you know the show to form the support group for people who made inaccurate predictions about election results.

Well look, I don't think in their wildest dream a Labor Party thought they would win this speak no way.

Seeing Jim Charmers at quarter to seven tonight on on Sky News or on the ABC. I think it was. He looked like he was shaking his it and disbelieve himself. Yeah, crazy, crazy times.

They didn't pick it, So we shouldn't beat ourselves up too much.

No, exactly, we'll chat on Thursday. Thursday, Matt Abraham. But a spindle go through I reckon by the time we get to Thursday. As you know, it's been really interesting tonight.

Normally after an election you've got labor people and liberal people talking about an equal number. Tonight, the amazing thing is all the Libs and understandably none of them are talking about it. No, they're just killed up in a corner somewhere.

Well, well, how many of them are out there? Maybe that's the bigger question. Has Adan Band lost yet? They Well, here's the ABC as we speak right now, tail of the tape. Fifty two percent of the vote counted across the country, eighty six seats they are. Remember you need seventy six to four majority, so a ten seat majority is crushing. Right now, there's still fourteen seats to count, forty to the coalition, forty six seats they have to make up. Now, if the next fourteen go to the Independence, for example, So we thought it was it was a big mountain to climb this time. Next election, the seats they're gonna have to look out to win are They're going to be mind boggling. The margins Independence ten Greens zero point zero, Max chandler Man and Andrew Adam Bandt look like losing this seat, which had be an extraordinary result. I tell you it's extraordinary result for the good functioning of the Lower House.

I like this text from Josh pretty devastated with the result. I don't believe this is a good result for the self employed back bane of the country. I can't see costre setting under labor. I feel let down though by a Liberal party that refused to focus on genuine prosperity for Australians. They got distracted by the sugar hits of modern political marketing. Spend education is still a concern, Health of concern, Energy a massive issue.

Get rawly on. He must be one and a half bottles of black guts in by how he started telling me his theory for what was going to decide the election. And I can tell you none of it can go to where this is intriguing right now, if you look at the state by state seat one totals and again we'll focus on the Coalition because they're what's left of them is the story. You going to do your pro again, mate, I'll get to the board in do essay and again. So they've got twelve seats in New South Wales.

It's like watching Kate Bush in the Wuthering Heights video seeing well moving around.

Yeah, I'll hit those notes in a moment. Don't worry about that. It's twelve seats in New South Wales, fifteen in Queensland, two in Essay, none in Tazzy, seven in Victoria, four in w A, none in the act. He's so I say that to say, it's Kathy, I've come home. Now you're heading dude, I just say this. So so it's looking like the Coalition will have more part and more seats in Queensland than anywhere. I've just I just raised that, isn't there? Except what about that poor So you're you're eighty six hours ago he was in this studio in the sausage. I hate the sausage. Well, maybe complain if that might have been it. Maybe you didn't get food poisoning anything. He imagine that end of your political career. What was the last thing you remember doing? I had a cold sausage because I'm two half woods on provincial radio basically like talking to the Alan Party Peter, what was the low point of your political career? Was it losing the election and your own seat? Well? No, actually it came twelve hours before that. He complained about it. He said, no, it was awful. Let's not lost his head. Was you think that's the worst things that can happen to you in the next day? And I have? Anyway, all I'm trying to say is it's kind of good luck getting a moderate back to the center coalition when pretty much the only place your own seats are in Northern Queensland, Hondy. Hell, we're going to look like Trumpet of the Patriots on the steroids. Geez Trumpet. I'll keep looking at the Senate number and legalized cannabis have extended the lead over Trumpet of the Patriots. The cannabis people, I tell you, the time is now. What do they need to get a quota? I just voted for them, like number five. I had them with the Libertarians. They're the Libertarians crushed. They got crushed. The Libertarians. I'm just going to sit in the corner giggling themselves.

I've never seen a stone person or anything really unpleasant, and I can say I want to marrying high mate.

You and a bloody Emmanuel. You know they didn't have that kind of stuff there.

What wacky to bag and it's beaten with a birchie stick. If you were caught doing that at Emmanual, I think it was a subject to Marion. Hi.

Let's take a break more election analysis after this.

Hi got five double as twenty twenty five Federal Elections Special with David Penberthy and Will Goodings ten thirty.

Four on election night, If you're turning in and you have managed to avoid the result thus far, Anthony ALBERONIZI will be the Prime Minister of Australia for another three years and what has been a crushing result that'll have many reaching for the history books in terms of the lowest ebbs for the Coalition in Australian history. If you look at it as we speak, I've just got my page to update. Three point swing, three point six percent swing to the AOP nationally the coalition first preferences. So think back to news poll, think back to where that the Coalition had at one point in time a first preference number in the forties. Today, on election day, it's barely in the thirty point eight percent of the vote Labour thirty four point seven. That's much in line with what was predicted. What that means in terms of seats eighty six Labor forty to the Coalition staggering ten to the Independence, including all the Teals, who look like they'll retain their seats. The Greens look like they'll lose all of theirs. That is particularly significant, but we were all of them. Yeah, seriously, at the moment, they've got nothing, zero no Greens. I hope Sarah Hanson Young gets back. No, I think she will. I just sm and she's the human face of the Green. She looks like they're going to get a full quota for South Australia, so won't even go to preferences. I think so. I think random hippie in the Senate the keep her fire. The flag wasn't an emblematic of the Greens losing their way that they nailed posters to trees, trees, they killed trees. Sarah a Young plane had done that. No, No, that's not who that's a lenin theory, isn't You've got to crack a few eggs's make an omaland something like that. But yeah, Adam Band though he can, he can disappear into the Yeah, he's ether. I think what does he line of work? Does Adam Band go and do next? We'll probably become a consultant, Yeah, Lisa, I can't read it seriously. He would.

He'd become one of those like environmental advisors for some major multi national or something and try to earn half a million dollars a year doing green credentialing for a.

Plutonium that's true explorter or something. I can't read out Lisa's text. I just simply direct you to it, David, because she's challenging some of your thoughts about both Marion High and E manual. But I'm not going to read that out. Let's have it. Should we go back to the big board. You can't, she said, don't read it out. Don't you read it out. Let's go to the seat. Let's go to the seat of hein marsh. Mark Butler was always going to retain this.

I reckon Mark Butler will be shadowed with this result tonight and I'll tell you why only a swing of two point four.

Percent wasn't even trying. He has underperformed the national swing the Glad Party, Mark Butler health minutes to hang your head in shame.

The headline tomorrow should be Alban Easy re elected despite leading the sale bags in the form. Butler busts in Heine marsh he only has a Mark Bludger headline.

He only enjoys a twenty percent margin now or something. Chris Lehman couldn't get it done, Chris Lemon, I've hit the button, Chris Cleman. The Greens there, Matthew right, won't be, won't be matter of factor. That's hein marshed. So Mark Butler returns didn't get there in first preferences. He be disappointing that Amanda Rishworth did fifty two point five percent. Don't even count the preferences there. Amanda Kingston.

Kingston covers Adelaide, southern suburbs from Harlett Cove to Maslin's Beach, extending Inland and Morphot Vale. Hackem hack him.

Do you still always vote at the Maslin's booth? Four point four percent? Sweet to Love? I heard that? Was that not true? Certainly if I'm naked. Sorry you're on today, so in a Goodwood primaries, but I'm glad you didn't get confused. A dreadful mix up. I can explain Kingston in the southeast. So that returns to Amanda Rishworth. She's made that of the safest of safe labour seats.

Zips app He's back the Zips, not Ralph sew Are we're talking about Tony Zappy.

They should run Ralph Sewer against zips app Tony Zappia in making next time out because it's going to take something extraordinary to turn this one around. A one point one percent swing to labor again, not as.

Big as we've seen in other places, but you know Zip's out sixty again sixty six.

Thirty one two party preferred. Woud suggest that Ralph Sue are the only footballer in the history five decades, four decades, five decades started, fifty nine finished in nineteen eighty. I think he's still going. So Tony Zappia will return in the seat of Macon.

That was the seat which was held by the Libs during the Howard era by Trish Draper, who famously got kicked out of Parliament for hering at Crowsbeanie after the ninety seven flag.

Spare thought for us in three years trying to talk up any of these seats as being relevant. Mayo, Rebecca Sharky has been returned. Australia's never going to get any money for anything after tonight. He was. He's a suggestion for all of our listeners. Go outside, have a look at the road. That road's never getting upgraded. I don't care where you are. Go out and have a look at it. That's the same road for the rest of your life.

You at the end of tonight's excellent broadcast peerless broadcast, if you walk out into a cavernous hole three meters deep and die as a result of like years of neglect by the federal government, well sucked in.

That's just one of those things.

That's right matter.

We have no marginal seats, folks. Maybe Rebecca Sharky because she might have to int, you know, to determine an already government either. Sorry, she struggled a bit there, didn't she thirty one? She was enough in front. It doesn't matter because she gets everyone's preferences, so two party preferred. She's miles ahead. Rebecca Sharky to lose that seat, she needs to drop into the third spot and that's just never happening. They love her up there in the hills. Now we spent the next one up on the list. Let's have a next so Mayo two Spence. This now, this tells a story of the election, because this is the one if Peter Dutt was going to win and be the Prime minister. Spence is the kind of seat they needed to fall. The Liberal candidate had got eighteen percent of the vote. They couldn't even get one in five people to vote for them there. This is the seat which voted sixty Sorry, hang on, I'm trying to do it from memory.

At the referendum for the Voice in twenty twenty three, the highest no vote in the land was cast in Spence. And this is where all of the sort of you know IPA Toady Abbott visited this seat.

This was the seat where the liberal.

Resurgon Daniel was the IPA. He's from the IPI at the Institute of Public Affairs, the Conservative thing.

He barely outpold the greenscandate Luke Skinner, who's actually only nine years old. Skinner, his voice is about to break. He's in year seven and he came in third. To see it's good to see someone's not even old enough to be eligible to run doing so well. Yet there he is is the Doogie House Repolitics.

One nation did all right there nine percent dB. He's okay, this is that's that's actually worth reflecting on. There's a there's a fifteen hundred word think piece in this for the Australian for next hour. I know just the guy who could write.

That eighteen percent for Daniel Wilde. So this and Matt Burnel is a like cardboard cutout union hack non entity, like no one knows who he is. I tried to get him to talk to me a couple of times. He refused to comment on the boy. He said, it's been a difficult time for everyone. He did suffer a swing against one point one percent, but well that's that's that's maybe that's the silver lining for the Liberals. Well if they if they keep that up every election, they'll eventually win Spence in twenty one thirty two. That's so that's Ford planning. You've got that guy. You've got to have a what about Luke Skinner? They look at him, Luke Skinner, you got to go back. You've got to go back and do English. On Monday morning after he's tolling fifteen point six Senator vote hed to get permissions from his parents to run for the election. So we move on from Spence and head to st Well, this was the big one, wasn't it. Stt The most marginal seat, the Libb's most marginal seat in South Australia, James Stevens. We should just note here there is a very strong view within the South Australian Liberal Party that James Stevens is a bit of a laggard, that he's a bit slow out of the blox. Stephen Marshall's former chief of staff.

Yeah, but tactically this is Chris Pine's old seat. Chris Pine held the seat for twenty years. Yeah, Now, James Stephens was on a half a percent margin.

Did he not.

Realize three years ago that maybe you needed to get off his backside and work a little bit harder. Well, maybe the tide of history was against him. Conversely, maybe he just didn't have enough lead in his pens or to have a proper crack the way Pine used to.

Well, how many times did Chris Pine save the seat in scenarios where that you thought, well, this is it's going to fall. Well, you might remember, was it mere Hanshin, Yes, was that man clamor youth candidate had a column for the Tizer and everyone was all yadi jar about her. She was not pine Off.

Pine was demented about the threat that she posed to him, and he held the seat. You know, pine Pine won the seat at times when the Libs were losing the elections. James Stevens got thirty you got less than less than one in three people when that seat voted for him.

And seat of stir I mean, look to me, James Stevens might look at that and say, well, that's a greater proportion of the vote chare than the rest of the Liberal Party got around the country.

But now we're all going to spend the next this is on the cusp of a state election. They're they're going to be going hammering tongue at each other about who's stuffed it up worse.

And James Stevens one of the moderates of the party as well, So you talk about what the balance of the party is going to look like. But then so Sturt is a great armple. Now it's swaying nearly eight percent. This is going to be a seven percent margin. This is the kind of seat now that the Libs to take back government have to win. This becomes a non negotiable win. You're gonna have to make up seven eight percent margins just to be any back to where you were before. So can I just stop and say, well, I'm really admiring your technique? Do you like that? Are my points getting less? Are they on point? It's just like you know, poetry? Thank you? Have we got anywhere to go other than stir? Are we done? We got another stirs? The last seat, isn't it? I think we're done? Yeah? Can we just pause to acknowledge Brooklyn mun the doy on of the live stream as Well's put together magnificent work on the screen. She's a superstar. The MVP Sam and Lucy live studio audience, they've been terrific as well. I'm just checking someone. He wants to know how the Trumpet of the Patriots are going. The Trumpet of the Patriots not great. The Trumpet of the Patriots are an interesting exercise in what's the most money you've ever spent on? Sweet fa They've got to swing to one point two percent. Oh no they haven't, no they sorry, I was reading that was one nation they're going to swing against minus two point one, So they've got please explain. I'm just having a look at the national two party preferred estimate. Okay, So this is the one hundred and eighty five thousand votes. That's staggeringly small votes. One hundred and eighty five thousand where in South Australia. Now this is the national figure. So right now, national party total nationally at fifty five point two percent of the vote counted. So just to give you the big numbers, Labor three point two million, Coalition two point nine others so independence, untials one point two, the Greens one point one, one Nation six hundred, Trumpet Patriots one hundred and eighty five. We got on the big screen. Oh here it is. Look at this. As I was saying, that's the tiniest bloe if I've ever seen touched lock, Please hit the screen. So what if you spent per vote? Yeah, they would have been better bringing up everyone individually and saying we'll give you ten thousand dollars to vote for us, not that that's legal.

The question I asked Matt Abraham before like talking about you know, when you have sort of politically incorrect thoughts. I have quite a lot of politically incorrect thoughts from time to time. I'm not going to share them all now.

But yes, my child, I feel like this is confessional.

When you see like you know, I don't know, like okay, things like Welcome the Country. I think it is a bit overcooked. But I love the Doug Nichols Round in the AFL, and you think about what Aboriginal people have done for the national game, and like the idea of taking away the Dug Nichols Round, and you think about like you know, Ports two thousand and four Premiership side, And as a Sturt fan, I think about Flash Graham and seeing him just tearing across the field at Footy Park, like you know, there's a certain you know, you might go, okay, every time we have a meeting at work, maybe we don't need to ever work in the country. But then I think about Michael Graham and how much I love that guy as a footballer. You know, you have these debates about these things, but then you see like a strip out on the bottom of the tires are going, oh, I don't need to be welcomed in my own country. And part of you goes, yeah, but part of your thinks about Michael Graham, and part of your thinks about you know, Burgoyne Pickett and Wanganeen, And but the bigger part of it may be be thinks, well, as much as sometimes these PC things, well things that become PC and in all honesty, not in the hands of Aboriginal people, but you know, white trendies, H departments, the HR Department wanting to look good. Is any of that really a basis for government? Is any of that really what it's all about in life? Isn't this what we picture? You made this part of the problem that the Libs have drifted too off, too much off into that space worrying about that stuff where most most people just go that's not the main game. Well, and as we've said repeatedly, with the huge focus we've had on US politics over the course of the last six or seven.

Years, you can't transpose tactics that work in the.

US to hear because, particularly with compulsory dating exactly right, because we're there.

You need to irritate, agitate, inspire people to go and vote. And the easiest way to do that is what's the thing that annoys you? I'll stop that, yeah, yeah, yeah, or is here you turn it up anyway? Yeah exactly. So generally you need something that's going to benefit people more than just the single issue that really that some people are super motivated by. Now we have those people here, probably a similar percentage to which they exist in the United States.

Except we've got another seventy percent of the population that has to vote who don't really either way exactly, And this is the thing. They don't care either way. Like I know people who I've got mates who are like super like right wing and mates who are super left wing about a lot of this stuff, And when they start talking about it, I just go, yeah, yeah, that's good.

What what are we going to order?

Yeah, you know, should we get the should we get the kwatio or you know, are we gonna have the chicken wings? Like it's not my cup of tea? And I reckon, there's a lot of people it's not their cup of tea, which means, like, why you have what I think is a pretty mediocre government being re elected in an undeserved landslide, because you know, you marvel it. I mean, like, if Clive Palmer can spend billions of dollars running only on those things and get a poult like such a poultry number of votes and eighty seven thousand, He's like, God d knows how much money he spent. It would have to be at least one hundred million dollars.

It's almost to get into a million dollars of vote, isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, yeah, no it's not. Actually, that's that's Late Night. That's red wine. Mates. At least ten cents of vote. Hang on, that's ten bucks, probably ten bucks of vote, hundred bucks of Julian Burnside Burnside.

What about Burnside being a labor booth. Burnside's read, Julie says. James Stevens took us voters for granted. Chris Pine always worked as electra and in yours all by name, and every organization and community group he would visit. Andrew says, oh thanks mate. He says, I'm never missing this show after future elections. Late Night Loose Radio at its best.

Max says, this is a secret society for people. This show. If you've listened to Breakfast for long enough, you know, whatever you think of that show, it's worth sticking with us for the elections.

We should we should do breakfast at night. I think that would be good. Where are we There's there's yeah, a lot of them and a lot of despair, I think among traditional Conservative voters, but equally a lot of anger to like people just going.

Well, you know they've got it's going to be a clean slate. You're gonna have forty low forty seats, which whichever way you take the party from here, you can almost start again. This is Bruce's rock bottom round zero. It's really weird to sort of step back because I must admit, like, as someone who like spend a long time covering politics, I genuinely don't know who their next leader is. I mean it was certainly not anyone from South Australia, like it would have been Tony Pass Tony person. It would have to be he's in the fray all of a sudden or alex Antick. He's in the wrong chamber. He's in the wrong chambers. He's the Senator. What about Benning straight in top job? Yeah, Penning Benning the new member for Gray Nephew. I'll take you through the betting Liberal leadership. Angus Taylor has blown out. He was he was a short priced favorite, but he's still the favorite. Two point fifty. Andrew Hasty three dollars. I reckon Hasty is well and feels well and truly to me around the mark. Yeah, I think they could do worse than Andrew Hasty. Dan teen four dollars twenty Susan lay is eight to fifty the current deputy maybe muddy by what's going on. Then you start getting into real interesting territory. Alex Hawk at twelves the factional Alex Hawk. Yeah, that would purely because his capacity to rally the numbers, I guess, yeah. David Coleman at twenty three, Michael Souker at thirty one, Julian Lisa at forty six. Is Ted O'Brien forty six? Angie beare a fifty one?

Angie Bell? Who's Angie Bell? I've never heard of Angie Bell. It was our own Angie from five double a. Angi McBride is actually is sixty to one. She's in the next group.

What about Andrew Rhiner Tony passid fifty one's is he in there? He's the bottom run? Can we get like some sort of MAULTI going what would that what's the second leg of your MALTI.

I don't know, Angie bell O. This is Angie bell member for Montcreef. Hey, students of history. We love history. Here at the five double a break for show broadcasting at ten fifty three pm on a Saturday night. There's a guy called Dave Tanner who works for The Australian, who is just one of those guys who is well.

I love dealing with Dave. He's the guy.

When I write anything for The Australian, I email it to Dave and he puts it in the paper and he's He's someone who deals lovingly with what you've written. He's a very thorough and historically minded person. He doesn't write articles very often, but he's he's the stats man.

He's like that.

Yeah, he's almost as Ben Jordan guy. Yeah, Okay, Ben Jordan hate Ben's listening. So Day's written this piece that's just gone up on the OS tonight that puts this result tonight in its historic context. Labour's victory to secure a second term, despite barely winning the primary votes of won in three Australians, ranks as one of the biggest election triumphs in Australian history. The Albanezy government's on track to win more than eighty five seats, surpassing Kevin Rudd's eighty three seats at the two thousand and seven election and could eclipse the ninety seats won by Tony Abbott when the Coalition returned to power in twenty thirteen. The previous most lopsided parliament, I think Matt Abraham alluded to this earlier, was after the nineteen to seventy five election, in the wake of the dismissal of the Whitlam Labor government, when the Coalition held ninety one of the one hundred and twenty seven seats in Parliament.

So the.

Seventy five election host dismissal where pretty much everyone in Australia when Whitlam's got to go and agreed with what Sir John Kurra had done. That is that's the only one that betters this result. That's crazy, that's crazy.

And this comes off the back of a cost of living crisis. Yeh did are you suggesting we came dangerously close to the Governor General just sacking Peter Dutton before the GN you second opposition leader. It feels like it that is remarkable. What a result, What an absolutely incredible result.

Hey, can we just think Sam at Powells again and Powers have done a great job tonight with they're the real heroes of the evening, just sensibly having a bit of a bit of a go at some of their their material. Jamie Wood is Sam's number two guy.

There.

We're currently on the Jericho Bracken Now Jericho. This is a great winery. This McLaren and vale Granash normally forty five dollars a bottle, thirty four ninety nine.

They're giving that away to get the cost of living crisis. That's solved it right there. Hey, Angie Bell was born in Adelaide. We should show a bit of respect Angie Bell for leadership. Yeah. Here, First we should get her on the show Monday. Yeah she might. Well, she might literally be the most senior liberal we can speak to Karaki.

It's hard to describe. And I don't think no one saw this coming. No, there's a lot of hedging of the bets.

Well, the polling suggests that a little bit. Yeah, but well, I mean what we're seeing. So the polling was what fifty two point five, forty seven point five or something, last fifty three to forty seven, and in the end, what we've seen is.

Is just from arkable, it's not even close to that. It's we're going to do a Monday show. And I don't know if if she'd be up and listening now. But the poor, the poor, poor poor lady who was competing in feedback Friday yesterday, Julie, Julie, Julie from blake View. Julie from Blakeview, massive port fan and couldn't stand elbow And Julie, if you're listening, honey, we are going to give you. We're going to talk to im text Mark Adonis at Samtas, who's the world's best bloke? I know, Julie, if you're a seafood enthusiast. Maybe, actually, maybe Julie, given the last fourteen hours of your life, maybe it's not a Mark Adonis at Samtas type scenario. Maybe it's a Sam at Powell scenario. Because Julie, when she was on the show day, her nightmare scenario was a port loss and a labor win. So Julie, if you are listening, to paraphrase the great line from on the Waterfront, wasn't your night tonight?

Was not your night. But we're going to get you something and we're going to give you jewels out there, you know.

We.

It's it's a hard thing tearing up. We had a really good day that we had a good day because like it was all about mum, Mum's birthday when you were cracking day and I didn't really pay any attention to the football, the election or anything. You know, came in later. You you've been you've been broadcasting NonStop, delirious, the gardening show. I'm gonna stick with it. You put up OPPORTUNI. You're up on that screen right now. I'll tell everything I know about Wills work on the screen. Though. So look, here's what's going to happen. We've run out of time. There's a little thing that exists in this world. When it comes to Sam's going to find out what Julli drinks. He's texted good good. We'll get to the bottom of that. We'll Getjuli on Monday morning. Julie. Here's the rule for folks when it comes to our election shows. Whilst you may have listened, you can tell no one about this. This didn't happen, Okay, this show, this show didn't happen you know nothing. This is all right, It's like fight club. Now. The other thing is this, if you've been listening for two hours and you actually have no clue what happened in the election, that's fine too. But Sam Dado is coming up next and he will illuminate you as to what transpired. Shrug, ready to roll, he will. Sam's ready to rock, So give him a call, have a chat with him. He'll take you through all the results. You can text him too. This has been a lot of fun. Thanks for listening. Big thanks to Pal's Liquor. Yeah, do we mention them? Yeah? I think we might have mentioned once or time. Okay, good, but we didn't get into the tequila. Not yet, Lucy, Lucy and sand thanks guys. That were tremendous. Unfortunately sleephen Rose thoughts. But that's okay for the world's most unusual but excellent election rap. All right, we'll be back Monday morning and will be normal. We promise five double as.

Twenty twenty five Federal Elections Special with David Penberthy and Will Goodings
