Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,399
My vision for this country...
2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,479
- Roads, rail.
- Right across Australia.
3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,359
- We are in the age of infrastructure.
- The dawn of a new era.
4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,999
Take this country to the 21st century.
5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,239
- Bucketloads of bitumen and bricks.
- Building a stronger country.
6
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,359
Record spending on...
7
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,279
We're spending more than
any government has ever spent.
8
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,319
- $44 billion.
- $75 billion.
9
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,199
- $100 billion.
- It's big money in anyone's language.
10
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,879
- This is a nation-building...
- Nation-building.
11
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,399
- Nation-building.
- Nation-building.
12
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,679
- Nation-building.
- Nation-building.
13
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,120
Nation-building.
14
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,079
- Jarrod?
- Yep.
15
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,199
You're kidding me!
16
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,119
- Got the text this morning.
- He resigned by text?!
17
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,559
- Plus an emoji.
- Did he give a reason?
18
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,439
- Thought he'd achieved all he could.
- After seven months?
19
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,839
That's gonna be a tough role to fill.
20
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,472
Seriously? We could put two cushions
21
00:00:37,483 --> 00:00:39,239
on his chair and no-one would notice.
22
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,079
- Jim's here.
- Yeah, OK, can you organise, um...?
23
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,359
- A card.
- No.
24
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,479
- Farewell drinks? I shall.
- No, no, the HR... the HR stuff.
25
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,479
Front page, all three.
26
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,879
Yeah, I heard it on the news.
27
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,079
- Oh! We are landing some blows now.
- _
28
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,839
Aged care, education, defence.
29
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,279
Big announcements. And you know
what we've managed to avoid?
30
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,919
- Fact-checking?
- Multiple voices.
31
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,959
Something good to announce,
the big fella steps in.
32
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,479
Speaking of which... digital.
33
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,839
Oh! Not again, Jim.
34
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,399
What was that thing we did last year
35
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,999
with the terrorists and the paedophiles?
36
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,319
- Dog-whistle?
- Encryption.
37
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,239
Anyway, I've just been
given a background paper
38
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,799
on how it's gonna affect
government through, um...
39
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,039
Oh, God, what's that thing? That...?
40
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,919
- Bitcoin.
- Not bitcoin. Close.
41
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,479
- Blockchain.
- That's it.
42
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,519
- Mm.
- Yeah.
43
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,039
And what's this got to do with us?
44
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,599
Oh, it's transformative, apparently.
45
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,639
Construction, contracts, registries,
government-to-government.
46
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,639
I'd love to get whatever's in here...
47
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,759
- ..on there.
- Yeah, we're kind of busy right now.
48
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,319
- When you can.
- OK.
49
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:30,879
I feel like we've got some momentum now.
50
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,199
- Yep.
- We're gettin' our mojo back!
51
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,319
Yep.
52
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,000
Yep, saw it.
53
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,239
Oh, for crying out loud.
54
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,039
You can't be...
55
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,919
It's like a dumping ground in here.
56
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,879
- Congratulations, Nat.
- Thank you, Courtney.
57
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,239
- They sent you these.
- Oh.
58
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,959
And... this. It's such an honour.
59
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,559
Well, that's kind of you but
I think, let's play it down.
60
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,039
She's here, everybody!
61
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,319
Yes! Well done.
62
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,519
Thank you, but there's nine
other people on that board.
63
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,679
Uh, "hand-picked", "rising star".
64
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,799
Well done.
65
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,279
PM's Project Advisory
Council, that's, uh, not bad.
66
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,759
Would you mind putting
these in something?
67
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,559
Sure, and when you get a
chance, that's a card for Jarrod.
68
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,159
- What happened to Jarrod?
- Don't ask.
69
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,079
- Well... he just got here!
- Yep.
70
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,079
- Another departure.
- Apparently.
71
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,519
What's the date today?
72
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,319
- Uh... 15th.
- Oh...
73
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,399
- Where does the time go?
- Yep.
74
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,319
So, Jarrod.
75
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,199
A few red flags from his exit interview.
76
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,079
- You conducted an exit interview?
- Of course.
77
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,479
You only just interviewed him
for the job... What did he say?
78
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,519
In short, he felt his
career arc had stalled.
79
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,279
He's only 23. What arc?
80
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,239
He also pointed to several
aspects of workplace culture.
81
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,159
- Such as?
- A lack of engagement.
82
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,719
How would he know?
83
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,999
He took off every available
day, turned up late, left early.
84
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,639
Mm. Do you notice that?
85
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,679
- Notice what?
- You're being a little defensive.
86
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,799
Yeah, now that you mention it...
87
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,839
Which is understandable, given
the staff turnover rate.
88
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,079
What's wrong with these kids?
89
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,119
They turn up for three weeks
and expect long service leave.
90
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,399
- Hmm. Again...
- Yeah, I'm noticing it now.
91
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,599
- What to do?
- Hire better people.
92
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,559
I wonder if we conduct a pulse check...
93
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,079
- A what?
- Staff survey.
94
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,599
Find out what people are thinking,
how we can stem the flow.
95
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,279
- There's no flow.
- Don't blame yourself.
96
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,959
I don't. You're the one hiring them.
97
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,399
You... notice it?
98
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720
- Loud and clear.
- Defensive.
99
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,479
So, I got onto the board secretariat.
100
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,079
- Great.
- They need your full bio.
101
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,119
Professional qualifications, work
history, professional development,
102
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,799
a precis of the major projects here
103
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,359
and specialties you did at your old job,
104
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,519
any awards and/or honours,
publications and offices held.
105
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,319
Did they ask for any suggestions?
106
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,519
- For what?
- For board discussions.
107
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,679
- On what?
- Projects. Infrastructure.
108
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,719
- Oh... No.
- Can you go back to them?
109
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,399
Just ask them, given what I do,
110
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,599
if there's anything more they
would like to get from me,
111
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,839
you know, like suggestions
for priorities or projects.
112
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,440
- Mm. Sure.
- Thank you.
113
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,959
All eyes are suddenly on Canberra.
114
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,559
Focusing on the policies that matter.
115
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,319
- We've made the project...
- We have a plan,
116
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,799
- to keep delivering.
- Better schools.
117
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,279
It will make an enormous difference.
118
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,439
Let's keep firing away.
119
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,119
Morning, Brian.
120
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,279
Morning, Tony.
121
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,879
Greetings and pleasantries, 8.
122
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,599
- Good morning, Tony.
- Courtney.
123
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,839
How'd you go last night at netball?
124
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,439
We lost, but only by a few points.
125
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,999
Ohh, bad luck.
126
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,559
Staff connection, 9.
127
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,199
- What?
- It's for the survey.
128
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,079
- Has that started already?
- Did you not know?
129
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,199
No.
130
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,919
General workplace awareness, 4.
131
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,719
It must be 20 pages!
132
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,799
Beverley says it's to
help stem the flow.
133
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,359
There's no flow. Nothing to stem.
134
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,959
A couple of other things.
135
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,519
Jim wanted to know if you've had
a look at that blockchain thingy.
136
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,199
- Oh, bugger! I thought he'd forget.
- He did. I reminded him.
137
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,359
OK, can you not remind him again?
138
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,679
Sure. I'll remind myself
not to remind him.
139
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,919
And we're not accepting any work
experience kids anymore, are we?
140
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,559
- Nope.
- Definitely no?
141
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,999
- No.
- Alright, I'll tell Brian.
142
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,639
Hang on, hang on. What's that?
143
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,279
Oh, Brian asked about his nephew.
144
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:44,919
Well, if it's Brian and...
145
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,079
..he keeps him away from me
and the main office, then...
146
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,759
- I'll say it's a maybe.
- Just say yes.
147
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,519
Addresses issues quickly
and decisively...
148
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,359
Sorry, there's questions about me?
149
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,759
Oh, no, it's more general.
150
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,519
"Are you happy with the leadership?
151
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,079
"Does the leadership
provide clear goals?
152
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,639
- "Is the leadership...?"
- But that's me.
153
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,079
I'm the leadership.
154
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,199
- Oh, yeah!
- Yeah.
155
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,080
Better make that one 9 as well.
156
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,079
You filling in one of
those staff surveys?
157
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,359
We all are.
158
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,119
I'm giving you plus-eights
for everything.
159
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,079
- Oh, thanks. Yeah.
- Not listening to those others.
160
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,559
- What, some people aren't happy?
- You're always gonna get the haters.
161
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,279
- Haters?
- Not haters.
162
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,159
- You said haters.
- Critics.
163
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,119
People who maybe don't like
the way you do things.
164
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,799
Sorry... some people
are having a go at me?
165
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,959
Sometimes, you've got to be
autocratic to get the job done.
166
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,199
- Who's calling me autocratic?
- Did you see the papers this morning?
167
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,599
Yeah, yeah, I did, yeah.
168
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,239
We're really kicking some goals now.
169
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,719
Honestly, that trade deal's
been on simmer for years,
170
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,959
but you find a new angle, hit
the Press Club, and, bang!
171
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,599
He's on 7.30 tonight.
172
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,759
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
173
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,759
He didn't even know what
an inorganic chemical was
174
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,039
this time last week.
175
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,039
Oh, yeah, he's getting some
coverage, that's for sure.
176
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,399
Yeah. Now... what did I
want to speak to you about?
177
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,799
God, I meant to write it down.
178
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,319
Oh, was it Nat joining the PM's board?
179
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,479
- No. But that's great, isn't it?!
- It's fantastic. Yeah.
180
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,559
Yeah. Big vote of confidence in you lot.
181
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,039
- Oh, yep, thanks. Yeah.
- Nanotech...?
182
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,119
- No, no.
- 5G cell processing?
183
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,319
Wouldn't be us. I'd
better get back on the...
184
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,479
What was it?
185
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,039
Katie, can you remember
if there was something
186
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,399
I was gonna follow up with Tony?
187
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,559
I don't know, Jim, but it
wasn't the blockchain.
188
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,919
- That's it.
- No, it's not.
189
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,919
- Have you had a look?
- Oh, I've been really busy.
190
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,079
Just a quick squiz.
There's a lot of buzz.
191
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,519
Singapore's hosting a huge
regional tech summit.
192
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,119
Gotta be something in
there for the boss.
193
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,719
- You know what? I'll have a think.
- Good man!
194
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,039
- OK.
- Hey, what's A1?
195
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,119
A...?
196
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,719
AI, artificial intelligence?
197
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,959
Ohh!
198
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,799
PM thought it was milk.
199
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,520
- I'd better give him a buzz.
- Yep.
200
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,919
Nat? Board papers have arrived
for your first meeting.
201
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,919
- Ooh! This is exciting.
- Mm.
202
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,919
So, that's the official agenda,
203
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,639
minutes from the last meeting,
audit committee reports,
204
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,559
remuneration committee and nominations,
205
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,319
there's a proposed
board evaluation plan,
206
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,519
diversity policy...
207
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,119
- What are these?
- Governance framework outline,
208
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,479
- conflict of interest register...
- Anything about policy?
209
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,239
There's gender policy, diversity policy,
210
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,079
appointment and dismissal,
anti-discrimination...
211
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,079
Sorry, Ash... Is there
anything on strategy?
212
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,719
Infrastructure?
213
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,839
Like, projects and policy settings
for infrastructure, priorities?
214
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:09,319
- Like, what we're there for.
- Don't think so.
215
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,679
What's this?
216
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,119
Oh, that's a staff survey.
217
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,639
- Uncle Brian, eh?
- Yes. Very proud Uncle Brian.
218
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,439
Very good student is our Daniel.
219
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,079
Ah! What are you studying, Daniel?
220
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,479
English, maths, chem,
economics, computer science.
221
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,079
- Quite a combo.
- He wants to get into IT.
222
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,719
Eventually. Down the track.
223
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,959
Right. Oh, well...
224
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,919
Well, nice to meet you and I hope
you enjoy your stay with us.
225
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,119
- Thanks again for doing this, Tony.
- Not at all, Brian.
226
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,599
- But I better get on with...
- Absolutely.
227
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000
- I will leave you to it.
- No...
228
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,399
I thought he was supposed
to be with Brian.
229
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,359
No, he has to write a report
connected with the host organisation
230
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,039
for his elective.
231
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,879
What happened to shredding
and getting the lunches?
232
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,879
- Can't he just shadow you?
- Just a minute, Daniel.
233
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,039
- Or... or Scotty.
- How long's he here for?
234
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,479
Just today.
235
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,959
And tomorrow.
236
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,799
And until the end of next week.
237
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,360
I gave you a nine.
238
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,999
Ladies and
gentlemen, welcome to Canberra.
239
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,279
The local time here now
is 18 minutes past 8.
240
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,839
This is 2CC.
241
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,279
Mostly sunny today with a top of 14.
242
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,479
From the Capital Radio
newsroom, I'm Beth Rep
243
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,159
with the nine o'clock news.
244
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,119
I call to order the board
245
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,239
and may I begin by welcoming a
new and very welcome member,
246
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,679
Natalie Russell.
247
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,519
- Thank you, Mr Chairman.
- Don.
248
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,039
The Prime Minister has said
249
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,079
that while he wants members
of the highest calibre,
250
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,799
he also wants renewal
and generational change,
251
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,879
and Natalie represents that in spades.
252
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,519
Alright, item 2.
253
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,759
Confirm minutes of the last
meeting. Any corrections?
254
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,079
I noted that Richard was listed
as AM, when he's actually AO.
255
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,599
Well spotted, Carol. Apologies, Richard.
256
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,079
Now, let's dive into the main business,
257
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,880
audit committee, shall we?
258
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,119
- Hmm.
- What does "Hmm" mean?
259
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,879
- Red flags?
- Uh... a few.
260
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,279
Such as?
261
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,159
Uh, "abrupt manner", "stand-offish",
262
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,159
- "tendency to micromanage"...
- What?
263
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,359
Several staff felt that you were
always checking up on them.
264
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,360
Yep.
265
00:09:06,361 --> 00:09:08,039
Making sure they do their job properly.
266
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,319
- And that's a red flag, is it?
- There's that sharpness, Tony.
267
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,359
"Overly formal manner",
"lack of mentoring"...
268
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,999
Sorry, Beverley, where is this headed?
269
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,279
- We need to work on your soft skills.
- Really?
270
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,479
Your staff are crying out
for greater engagement.
271
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,759
Here's a thought, how about
they engage with their jobs?
272
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,399
Again, it's that sharpness.
273
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,479
This is where those fives
and sixes are coming from.
274
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,519
I think we need to break
down the barriers.
275
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,520
By...?
276
00:09:27,521 --> 00:09:29,679
When was the last time you
had Friday afternoon drinks
277
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:30,959
or a staff outing?
278
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,399
- We're not a social club.
- Guest speakers.
279
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,519
Casual clothes days. Christmas in July.
280
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,879
How about Christmas at Christmas?
281
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,439
I hesitate to use the phrase
'toxic workplace environment'...
282
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,199
- You just did.
- She hesitated.
283
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,239
But if you're gonna
retain your staff, Tony,
284
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,719
you're gonna have to
make a greater effort.
285
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,079
Look on this as an opportunity
for improvement, hey?
286
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,159
- What's the date today?
- 17th.
287
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,439
- No?!
- Mm-hm.
288
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,119
So, in the interests of time, I'm
suggesting the compliance committee
289
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,879
take that offline and report back
at the appropriate juncture.
290
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,719
Sorry, folks. I know we've
gone way over today,
291
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,719
but lots of subcommittees to organise,
292
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,519
lots of organisational
housekeeping, if you will.
293
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,479
But I think we've covered a fair swag.
294
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,999
So, I propose we call
the meeting to a close.
295
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,439
Seconded by...?
296
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,159
- By Natalie.
- Oh, no.
297
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,959
I wanted to raise something
before we finish.
298
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,319
- Something we've not covered?
- No.
299
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,959
I just thought we could spend
a few minutes on... the future.
300
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,199
- I know that's obvious.
- Not obvious at all.
301
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,919
My bad. Takes fresh eyes, doesn't it?
302
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,599
Alright. Future meeting dates.
303
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,119
I know Tuesday's a problem.
304
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,559
The following Wednesday
is difficult, but possible.
305
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:32,959
What's its strategy, going forward?
306
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,319
- Politics is a moving feast.
- Embracing our digital future.
307
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,919
It's about you, the Australian people.
308
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,119
Watch this space.
309
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,239
- Tony?
- Mm.
310
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,039
- Anything for Daniel?
- Shredding.
311
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,719
- All done.
- You forgot this.
312
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,639
- Didn't you fill yours in?
- It's about me.
313
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,319
You could have given yourself 10s.
314
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,999
- Can Daniel sit in with you?
- No.
315
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,359
Practise your soft skills...
316
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,639
See, this is why we stopped
having work experience kids.
317
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,999
'Cause I've got a pile of paperwork
that I'm trying to get through
318
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,880
and I'm worrying about how to
fill in the day for... for the...
319
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,880
Daniel?
320
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,919
Alright, young man, grab a seat.
321
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,119
- Yes, sir.
- Alright.
322
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,559
Now, I've got something
that's gonna keep you away...
323
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:10,519
..uh, keep you occupied for
a day or two... or more.
324
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,279
Can you give me the thing
that Jim dropped off?
325
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,239
- Tony...
- Yeah, the thing that Jim dropped off.
326
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,159
Now, we have been looking
into a rather large report
327
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,239
on a subject that's
very important to us,
328
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,279
which is, uh, Blockchain...
329
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,519
..and the Implications for
Government and Services.
330
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,719
- Have you heard of blockchain?
- Yes.
331
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,079
Oh, good, so, for your elective,
332
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,879
I want you to pretend you're one of us,
333
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,039
and, say, a ministerial adviser has
come to me... sorry, come to you,
334
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,919
and said I want you to
write a report on that,
335
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,999
as if the people you're writing it for
336
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,719
haven't the faintest clue
about that subject matter.
337
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,879
- Like a summary?
- Like a summary.
338
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,199
As if you're explaining
it to a sixth-grader.
339
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,840
So, not a minister.
340
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,479
A sixth grader... I think.
341
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,159
Anyway, Katie'll get you set up
with pens and highlighter pens,
342
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,519
and... and that'll be a... that'll
be a great, uh... a great exercise.
343
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,239
- Thank you, Mr Woodford.
- Oh, no, my pleasure. Well done.
344
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,119
How's it going?
345
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,559
- Good. Yeah, good.
- And first meeting?
346
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,919
- Long.
- Ah. Much get decided?
347
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,519
- Yeah.
- You paused.
348
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,199
- Did I?
- Yeah, like a little micro-pause.
349
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,399
- Oh... No... No, no reason.
- Oh, OK.
350
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,559
- It's all good.
- Alright.
351
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:16,639
- Yep.
- Good stuff.
352
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,640
- Tony?
- Yep?
353
00:12:17,641 --> 00:12:19,439
You've been on a bunch of
these advisory boards.
354
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,440
Yeah, a few.
355
00:12:20,441 --> 00:12:22,519
In the end, they get a
lot done, don't they?
356
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,799
- Yeah...
- You paused.
357
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,439
- Did I?
- A little pause.
358
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,039
Ah... Oh, it's early days,
though, so... Yeah. No.
359
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,679
- Good stuff.
- OK.
360
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,319
- Ash.
- Nat.
361
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,959
The secretariat just called. Are
you free for a meeting today?
362
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,359
- We just met.
- Extraordinary meeting.
363
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,879
Back to Canberra?
364
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,479
Apparently, something didn't get done
365
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,519
and they can't sign off on the
annual report unless it's done.
366
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,880
- Really?
- They're sorting out some flights.
367
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,639
Thank you, everyone, for making time.
368
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,559
It's so important we sign off on the
annual report. Apologies to all.
369
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:01,039
How's that looking?
370
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Great.
371
00:13:02,041 --> 00:13:04,319
If I could just get everyone to
take a half step to the left.
372
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,680
My left.
373
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,439
Nice big smiles.
374
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,359
Uh, lady in blue, you're frowning.
375
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:14,679
Tony, would you like
some cake? It's Julie's.
376
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:15,999
- Julie...
- Accounts.
377
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,199
- Oh, is it her birthday?
- No, she got engaged.
378
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,679
Oh! I didn't know.
379
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,759
Well, you're busy. You can't be
expected to know everything.
380
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,319
No, but I... I take an interest.
381
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,239
- So, cake?
- Uh, no, no, I'm fine.
382
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,999
Oh, Katie, do you think I'm a bit...
383
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,599
..stand-offish?
384
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,879
- On a scale of 1 to 10?
- No scales, just yes or no.
385
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,959
No.
386
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Oh, OK. And would the other staff
think I'm a bit hard to approach?
387
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,440
Um...
388
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,359
Brian... How's Daniel going?
389
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,279
Loving it. He's still here.
390
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,719
- Daniel?
- Hello, Mr Woodford.
391
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,279
Daniel, what are you doing down here?
392
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,759
Miss Norris said I had
to stay out of your way.
393
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,519
No. No, that's not how I meant it. No.
394
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,799
- I'll have a word to Katie about that.
- No need, Tony.
395
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,519
We are very appreciative.
Daniel is a lucky boy.
396
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,199
And all good? Does he need anything?
397
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,719
- He does have one question. Daniel?
- Uh...
398
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,399
Should I write the summary like it's
a formal government briefing paper?
399
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,719
Absolutely.
400
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,359
Right, so, cover letter and everything.
401
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,439
Oh, that's a great idea.
402
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,199
Yeah, get Katie to format it up,
attach it to the cover letter,
403
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,959
- cc everyone like it's the real thing.
- That is great.
404
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,319
Although, look, I don't think he's
gonna have it ready by tomorrow.
405
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,639
Oh, good, yeah... No, no. You
take as much time as you can...
406
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,919
..as you... as you need,
is the point of, uh... Yeah.
407
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,399
What do you say, Daniel?
408
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,919
- Thank you, Mr Woodford.
- Well, my pleasure, Daniel.
409
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,239
How anyone could have given you a four?
410
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,239
A four, hmm?
411
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,600
OK, well, goodnight.
412
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,559
- Hey, Jules.
- Hi.
413
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,719
- Morning.
- Hi, Tony.
414
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,680
And I, uh... believe, uh,
congratulations are in order.
415
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,400
The engagement.
416
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,679
- What was all that about?
- What happened?
417
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,719
I just said, "Congratulations
on the engagement,"
418
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,199
and she started bawling.
419
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,359
- "Congratulations"?
- Yeah, to Jules. Julie.
420
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,079
Who was I talking to?
421
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,280
Juli-A. She just broke up
with her boyfriend last week.
422
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,359
Thank you.
423
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,119
- Sorry to drag you out of the office.
- Oh...
424
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,919
- I know we're all busy.
- Not a problem.
425
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,319
I like to catch up with board
members informally when I can,
426
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,879
especially new members,
427
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,039
hopefully hear some ideas
on how to push even harder.
428
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,919
Well, I've put together a
shortlist of priority projects
429
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,839
I think we could raise
and, hopefully, endorse.
430
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,359
- This is wonderful.
- It's a pretty targeted list of...
431
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,199
This energy, I want to harness it,
432
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,839
which is why I'm proposing
a bit of fast-tracking.
433
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,559
We may have a vacancy
on the audit committee.
434
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,359
- The audit committee?
- I know that's a leap.
435
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,919
But we fast-track you through
436
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,839
the Institute of Company
Directors training course,
437
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,239
we get you a mentor.
438
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,679
I wouldn't be surprised if,
in 12, maybe 18, months,
439
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,839
you feel very comfortable.
440
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,639
- To be honest, Mr Chairman...
- Don.
441
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,519
To be honest, Don, I feel
I can contribute now.
442
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,959
That's why I'm excited.
443
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,159
The confidence of youth.
I want to harness this.
444
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,239
We get you up to speed and
two, three years from now,
445
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,000
look out.
446
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,599
- Yeah.
- Four years together.
447
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,919
Was it four years?
448
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,279
- So sad.
- They were the perfect couple.
449
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,359
Guys, no need to go on about it.
450
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,519
- Just explain it again.
- It's a Yammer feed.
451
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,159
- Yeah, in English?
- Internal social network.
452
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,199
Beverley suggested it. We put
out little video updates.
453
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,039
"Hey, NBA-ers, what's up?"
454
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,679
"Casual Clothes Friday."
455
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,519
Or, "Don't forget, Bring
Your Dog to Work Day."
456
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,839
I thought I vetoed that.
457
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,439
Just go for one. Loosey-goosey.
458
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,799
And... action.
459
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,639
Hi, everyone. Welcome to
the NBA Yammer feed.
460
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,239
Uh, another busy week here...
461
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,439
- Cut.
- ..at the NB... What?
462
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,719
It's gotta be six seconds or less.
463
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,919
- What?
- Take two.
464
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,159
And... action.
465
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,799
Welcome to the NBA Yammer feed.
466
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,079
Another busy week here at the...
Why do you keep moving the camera?
467
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,439
Just trying to give it a bit of life.
468
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,719
Yeah, it needs something.
469
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,679
Just quietly, I'm hearing
great reports from the board.
470
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,759
- Oh, are you?
- Yeah. Very impressed.
471
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,599
- Oh, that's good.
- And the audit committee.
472
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,239
- Keep up the good work.
- Thanks, Jim.
473
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,999
If there's anything you can
push through, we're all ears.
474
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,759
Actually, I've got some
specific proposals...
475
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,440
Alright, well done.
476
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,959
- Let's go again.
- Yammer feed, take 17.
477
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,079
Don't forget our brown-bag lunch
meeting, first one on Tuesday,
478
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,879
and, of course, our office
trivia competition...
479
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,239
- Cut.
- What?
480
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,799
- Looks like you're reading.
- Well, I am reading.
481
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,959
Sorry, guys, we're gonna
have to continue this later.
482
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,199
- This is unbelievable.
- What is?
483
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,079
- Blockchain.
- I didn't remind him!
484
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,439
I'm actually starting to get it.
485
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,959
"A distributed ledger of
discoverable provenance,
486
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,679
"decentralised."
487
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,119
There's definitely something in this.
488
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:34,039
OK, so, you don't need us
to look into it anymore.
489
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,119
What do you mean? This is yours.
490
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:37,439
No, it's not.
491
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,479
Blockchain and Its Implications
for Government Services.
492
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Who's Daniel?
493
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,079
- And...?
- You said, "Type it up,
494
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,159
"pretend it's a briefing
document and cc everyone."
495
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,319
What are we talking about?
496
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,719
- Daniel's the work experience kid.
- What?!
497
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,319
- He's 15.
- You're kidding.
498
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,839
- Where is he now?
- He's shredding.
499
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,439
Well, make sure he doesn't shred this.
500
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,719
So, I had a read of
your... briefing paper.
501
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,599
- Well done.
- Thanks, Mr Gibson.
502
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,999
Seems you've got a bit of a handle
on the kind of work that we do here.
503
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,639
There were a couple of
typos I forgot to fix...
504
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Yeah, I wouldn't worry
about that, Daniel.
505
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:06,159
- So, I've come up with an idea.
- For his elective.
506
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,879
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
507
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,919
Say you handed this to the Minister
508
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,719
and the Minister came
back to me... you...
509
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,040
..and asked...
510
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,199
.."What would be our
implementation strategy
511
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,359
"for blockchain technology
going forward?"
512
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,319
That depends if you're
implementing in-house
513
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,799
or with private sector
partners and contractors.
514
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,639
- Obviously.
- Which is it?
515
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,479
We'll pretend he didn't say.
516
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,759
Oh, could the Minister say
517
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,079
that Australia is at the forefront
of blockchain implementation?
518
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,639
No.
519
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,439
- What if he was wearing a hard-hat?
- Uh, Jim...
520
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,959
Why don't we give Daniel a bit more time
521
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,359
to come up with another
ministerial briefing?
522
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,439
- Like this one?
- Exactly like this.
523
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,999
In fact, here's an idea.
524
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,999
Pretend you're briefing the Minister
for Digital Transformation.
525
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,839
Maybe I could make a
PowerPoint presentation.
526
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,879
- He'd love that... You'd think.
- You'd think.
527
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,639
OK, great, I'll just
grab the lunches and...
528
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,959
- We'll get the lunches.
- No...
529
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,519
- You've got work to do.
- Yeah. Katie?
530
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,039
Daniel needs a desk.
531
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,079
These just arrived from the secretariat.
532
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,479
Oh, and congratulations.
533
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,919
Audit committee. After one meeting!
534
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,439
I haven't formally accepted yet.
535
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,839
Speaking of which...
536
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,319
..formal offer and acceptance
letters to be signed,
537
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,759
terms of reference for the
committee, latest guidelines,
538
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,119
previous audit committee
minutes and meeting documents
539
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,559
and, finally...
540
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,159
Something about project priorities?
541
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,719
..a list of potential mentors.
542
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,439
Some big names in there.
543
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,240
Oh... And this was left
behind at the cafe.
544
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,119
- Morning.
- Jim.
545
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,839
- What's with the...?
- Casual Friday. Don't ask.
546
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,319
Hey, short notice.
Minister's popping in.
547
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,039
- He wants to know...
- The Minister?
548
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,759
- I'm in jeans and a polo top.
- It's fine.
549
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,079
What does he want to speak to me about?
550
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,599
He doesn't. He wants to talk to Daniel.
551
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,559
Daniel's at school
cross-country this morning.
552
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,079
- What time's he finish?
- 12:00.
553
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,439
- Tell him to come straight over.
- He doesn't drive.
554
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,359
- Well, tell him to run.
- I'll ring the school.
555
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:50,919
- I'll grab the Minister.
- OK.
556
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,559
- Not going casual?
- No.
557
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,199
Extraordinary board meeting.
Teleconference.
558
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,879
Wow, that's full-on.
Who called for that?
559
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,880
I did.
560
00:19:56,881 --> 00:19:58,719
Is this about you joining
the audit committee?
561
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,759
No, it's about projects and
infrastructure and priorities.
562
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,600
- You've stopped pausing.
- I know.
563
00:20:05,263 --> 00:20:08,320
_
564
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,959
And everyone can see.
565
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,319
One of the key benefits of this case
566
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,039
would be the development
of an audit trail
567
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,679
allowing much greater
economic transparency.
568
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,919
But wouldn't we do that now?
569
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,839
It depends on the financial
sector architecture.
570
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,359
I thought I had you there.
571
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,599
- Almost got him.
- Anyway, I think that's great.
572
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,079
Thanks for giving me the time.
573
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,719
- Hey, uh, how did you go?
- Fifth.
574
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,439
No, not the cross-country.
With the, uh...
575
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,719
Oh, outstanding.
576
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,679
I'm just coming up with another idea.
577
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,239
- Oh, you'll love this, Daniel.
- He hasn't come up with the idea yet.
578
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,919
Alright, how about this for an exercise?
579
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,479
Say you're me, the Minister
overseeing digital transformation,
580
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,079
and you have to brief Cabinet.
581
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,919
And say there are a couple of
smart-arse colleagues
582
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,079
that always just love
asking curly questions
583
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,399
at the end of your briefing.
584
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,599
What if you came up with
a couple of dozen questions
585
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,319
that I... that one might get,
586
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,959
and the answers to them?
587
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,679
- Like a rebuttal?
- Yeah.
588
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,199
Really stick it up 'em.
589
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,039
Daniel finishes on Friday.
590
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,559
That's alright. Cabinet's Thursday.
591
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,399
OK, here are the lunches.
592
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,319
- Uh, ham and salad?
- Yep.
593
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,759
Oh, that reminds me. I
have to do your shredding.
594
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,440
- Cheese and tomato?
- Yep, that's mine.
595
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,719
OK, we should be right to go.
596
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,279
Alright, I think we
have everyone online.
597
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,679
- Sydney?
- Standing by, Mr Chairman.
598
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,039
- Canberra?
- Right here, Mr Chairman.
599
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,519
- Melbourne.
- Hi, everyone.
600
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,959
Welcome back to the NBA Yammer feed.
601
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,039
I'll fix that.
602
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,479
I think we're good to go.
603
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,559
Natalie, did you want to
touch on the audit committee
604
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,319
or just dive straight into this
discussion you'd like to have.
605
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,479
- Dive in, Mr Chairman.
- Alright.
606
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,719
I formally call the meeting
open. The floor is yours.
607
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,479
My impression is, and I know I'm new,
608
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,319
that this late in the election cycle,
609
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,919
the government and departments
would be extremely receptive
610
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,119
to specific recommendations from us,
611
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:55,799
even at the project level.
612
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,359
Thanks, Natalie. Definitely
food for thought.
613
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:00,399
Are you suggesting this for
the next board meeting?
614
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,519
No, now. Here, now.
615
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,119
I've got a list of proposals,
we could discuss them now,
616
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:06,559
say yes or no today
617
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,159
and send a summary
to the Prime Minister.
618
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,239
Whoa, whoa, let's cool
our jets for a moment.
619
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,799
An example from this list would be...
620
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,799
Energy policy, grid stability,
621
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,079
guidelines for future
privatisations, asset recycling...
622
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,719
I think we'd be stepping on the
toes of the Business Council there.
623
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,759
So?
624
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,199
Yeah, I'd like to canvass
other industry groups first,
625
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,839
consult widely and speak with one voice.
626
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,599
You've got a voice now.
627
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,159
Asset recycling, the government
is screaming out for guidance now.
628
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,479
- Now you're stepping on more toes.
- How many toes have these people got?
629
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,799
You've got to speak now, recommend now!
630
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,799
You've got to cut through all
this formality and act now!
631
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,440
You've got to act
decisively and quickly!
632
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:43,959
Jeez, they acted quickly.
633
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,079
Ash, I've been voted off the board.
634
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,319
Yeah, but pretty decisive. 9 to 1.
635
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,479
Yeah.
636
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,639
What about the audit committee?
637
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,960
- Hey, everyone. Hey, Courtney.
- Good morning.
638
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,119
Is he, uh... is he heading off early?
639
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,359
- No. Did you not get my text?
- Oh, I've had it on silent.
640
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:09,919
The Prime Minister's flying
Daniel up to Canberra
641
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,679
to "show him around Parliament House."
642
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,209
Really?
643
00:23:12,264 --> 00:23:14,479
I think it's something
to do with blockchain.
644
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,959
- Oh...
- Daniel, car's here.
645
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,239
- But you have to go too.
- Why?
646
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,399
The Prime Minister doesn't have
a Working with Children Check.
647
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,039
Just one thing, I have to submit
my final report to school today.
648
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,599
Will I have time to do it from Canberra?
649
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,279
You know what? I'll grab
all the work you've done,
650
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,079
put it all together and make
sure it gets to the school.
651
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,080
- Thank you, Miss Kano.
- Let's go.
652
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,879
So, Jim, do we go straight to
Parliament House when we land?
653
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,679
- Yes. Absolutely.
- OK. Alright.
654
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,959
Mr Gibson, are you sure the Prime
Minister has time to show me around?
655
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,399
Oh, yeah, he's got time.
656
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,039
- That's so kind of him.
- He's a thoughtful man.
657
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,039
But as an exercise, as
you're walking around,
658
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,719
he's got a hypothetical for you.
659
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,759
Let's say he was, uh...
660
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,079
..addressing the ASEAN Innovation
Summit next week in Singapore
661
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,759
and he had to outline his plan
662
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,439
for regional blockchain
integration and innovation.
663
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,359
What are the sorts of
things that he might say
664
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:07,399
to a regional audience?
665
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,239
Well, there's an
establishment of standards.
666
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,359
Um, exploring co-regulatory framework,
667
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:12,999
interoperability of guidelines...
668
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,439
Just slow up a second there, Daniel.
669
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,199
Act... actually, just pop them in there,
670
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,599
just in case we forget
one as we do the tour.
671
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,679
- Good... good hypothetical.
- Yeah.
672
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,159
- Bit of fun.
- Yeah.
673
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,959
I think there is an ASEAN
conference next week in Singapore.
674
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,559
- Is there?
- I think there might be.
675
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,640
Oh! How about that?

00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,119
- Courtney?
- Hi, Tony.
678
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:44,159
What's going on?
679
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,999
It's Bring Your Dog to Work Day.
680
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,319
I thought I said no to that.
681
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,879
But after you cancelled Casual Friday,
682
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,279
Beverley said it would be OK.
683
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,680
OK.
684
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,079
- Tony?
- Yeah?
685
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,159
Just give me a minute
to clean up your office.
686
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,280
OK.
687
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,079
Your carpet will be steam-cleaned
first thing tomorrow.
688
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,160
Sure.
689
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,919
- What is it?
- Julia.
690
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,279
She's taking leave.
691
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,719
Not 'cause of what I said in the lift.
692
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,559
No. Bitten by a dog.
693
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,880
Oh.
694
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,479
- Where's Daniel?
- He's finished.
695
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,079
So, who's doing the shredding this week?
696
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,799
- Me.
- There you go.
697
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,840
Should I do it now?
698
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,479
Please thank the Prime
Minister of Australia
699
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,519
for his insightful speech
700
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,439
on regional blockchain cooperation.
701
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,599
- Did you see this?
- I did.
702
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,199
"PM Gets A-plus for
Digital Transformation."
703
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,239
- Ooh.
- Yep.
704
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,519
Oh, speaking of which, how did
Daniel go with his elective?
705
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,679
- B-minus.
- Oh.
706
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,599
He had excellent ideas but his
execution was a bit rushed.
707
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,239
Well, attention to detail
is very important in life.
708
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,240
Yeah.
709
00:25:54,328 --> 00:25:58,539
