My vision for this country...

- Roads, rail.
- Right across Australia.

- We are in the age of infrastructure.
- The dawn of a new era.

Take this country to the 21st century.

Bucketloads of bitumen and bricks.

- Building a stronger country.
- Record spending on...

We're spending more than any
government has ever spent.

- $44 billion.
- $75 billion.

- $100 billion.
- It's big money in anyone's language.

- This is a nation-building budget.
- Nation-building.

- Nation-building.
- Nation-building.

- Nation-building.
- Nation-building.

- Tony!
- Brian.

- It's so good to see you back.
- Oh, good.

- We've been so worried.
- Oh, I'm OK, Brian.

- Here, let me get this for you.
- No, no. I'm fine, I'm fine.

- I'll get that.
- OK. Sure.

- Just, um, ease on through.
- Yep.

OK. We've been so worried.

- No, no, I've actually...
- Here, let me get that.

- There you go. Alright?
- Thank you, Brian.

- It's very heavy.
- Thank you very much.

- There you go, Tony.
- Thanks, Brian.

- Now, take it easy.
- Oh, I will. Thank you very much.

- Tony, welcome back!
- Oh, thank you, Courtney.

- Thank you.
- Here, let me get that door for you.

- Oh, no, I can do it.
- No, no, no.

OK. Sure.

Thank you. Oh!

Thank you. Nice to see you all.

Very nice. Thank you.
No fuss. Thank you.

Everyone can go back to their jobs.
Thank you.

How are you feeling?

- Oh, fine, yep.
- Yep.

I really don't want
people making a fuss.

Brian practically medevac'd me up here.

They're just relieved to see you again.

- I was only gone a week.
- We heard it was touch and go.

It was a minor arrhythmia thing.

And now I've got this
monitor that connects...

- Like a pacemaker?
- No, like a monitor.

Oh, in case you have a fall?

No, it beeps if my heart rate goes high.

- Do you have a button? CareAlert?
- I'm not 80!

Well, I've told everyone they're
not to bother you this week.

Seriously, I'm fine. I
walked to work today.

- Are you not allowed to drive?
- No, no, I wanted to walk.

It's funny the things you notice.

You know the pipe in the
street out the front?

- Oh, is that still leaking?
- Two months.

- Didn't we mention it to someone?
- I'll speak to Brian.

OK, good.

- What's that noise?
- Oh, it's your humidifier.

- After your health scare...
- It wasn't a scare.

Well, your wake-up call,

we're trying to make the office
a more relaxed work environment.

Yeah. But we've still got
our vending machines.

- Are you on fluid restrictions?
- Seriously, I'm fine.

- OK. Well, you just relax.
- OK.

- I'm shutting the door.
- Please.

So. It all stacks up?

In principle. It's a smart idea.

It'll ease congestion at the port.
Get trucks off the road.

- And all that stuff's in here?
- Yes.

That's great. It feels solid.

But, Jim, there are a couple of
things we need you to make clear.

Yeah, fire away.

Their construction time line
looks a little optimistic.

I think we need at least
another 12 months...

- Yeah?
- 18.

18. On top of that, if we could
just walk you through...

Hey! Look who's back!

- Oh.
- Um, uh... we'll come back to this.

So, clean bill of health?

Yeah, I've just got to
take it easy for a bit.

I've been told to stay out of your hair.

Just for this week, Jim.

What happened to your vending machine?

Healthier choices.

Hey, Nat, thanks for holding the fort.

- Not a problem.
- I tell you what.

- I think she's onto a winner here.
- Yeah? I should take more time off.

So, Tony, did you float above your body?

- What?
- When you had your episode.

- It wasn't an episode.
- Your turn.

Was there a white light in the distance?

It was a heart flutter.

- Do you reckon you crossed over?
- I felt dizzy.

That's enough, everybody.
Tony needs to rest.

Oh, I need to show something
to Nat and Scott.

Come back in an hour.

Yep. Alright.
Well, I need the whiteboard to...

- I'll get that. Yep.
- OK.

- You sit.
- Alright.

Sit!

So, our original intentions: fine.

You know, lower costs, competition,
dynamic markets, great.

- This is not just infrastructure?
- No, this is everything.

So, we all fall for the
privatisation sugar hit. Fine.

But then half of these companies
and entities end up, down the track,

in some kind of globalised
profit-minimising tax vehicle.

And if we adopt these measures...

Then the government fires a big shot
across their bow,

says, "Yeah, we're gonna put money in,

"but we determine
the financial games you play

"for the next 20 or 30 years."

So, an infrastructure charter.

- When did you come up with this?
- In hospital.

It's funny, when you get a few days
of clear air, you get to thinking.

- About the meaning of life.
- About tax.

Staring into the face
of the Grim Reaper.

Yep.

Um, what do you think?

- It's innovative.
- Yeah?

And you'll be leaving a legacy.
For when you...

When I what?

When the... when the next generation...

I'm still here. Yeah.

Treasury and Finance are in town
next week.

- All of them?
- Yeah. Well, most of them.

I reckon I can get the key guys
together for about 20 minutes or so.

- And will you...
- Will I what?

- Nothing.
- What?

- It won't be the whiteboard?
- What's wrong with the whiteboard?

You might need to lift it a notch, Tony.

What, more coloured pens?

These days you've got five minutes

before people start reaching
for their phones.

- Want me to look into some options?
- Not really.

What? Hang on. What's that?

Katie? What is that?

- Brian's drilling.
- Yeah, no, I can hear that. Why?

- He's moving the defibrillator.
- Not closer to me?

Just to be on the safe side.

Five minutes, Tony!

Is Tony free?

- Shh. He's de-stressing.
- What?

The doctor said
he needs to do it every day.

I've got all this stuff from last week.

- Do you know how long he's gonna...
- I'll find out.

Tony? It's Katie.

How much longer do you plan on
being mindful for?

- Five minutes.
- Maybe I'll wait.

- Is Tony almost finished?
- Five minutes.

- Uh, four and a half.
- OK, I'll wait.

- Can I have a quick word?
- Jim!

He called me!

Let 'em in!

- Just a couple of quick signatures.
- Sure. Yeah.

- Grab a seat.
- Jeez, a fair bit going on up here.

Oh, It's actually more
straightforward than that, yeah.

- I like this.
- Yep?

Did we ever turn on that desal plant?

- Jim?
- Sorry.

So, is this what Treasury
is coming in for?

- I reckon it could be a game-changer.
- Let's hear it.

An infrastructure charter.

An enforceable financial engineering
code of conduct.

Wow! I'm listening.

Oh, can you pass me a marker?
So, what I...

Yeah, that's an EpiPen. I've got
an arrhythmia, not an allergy.

So, we target the three most
common forms of corporate abuse,

tax base erosion, anti-competitive
behaviour, double dipp... Jim?

- Oh, keep going.
- Yep.

So, we mandate, before any deal is done,

all entities have to sign on to a
legally binding set of standards,

so, an infrastructure charter.

Scotty?

- So, where are we at?
- What's the last thing you remember?

Uh... desal plant?

Yep.

- It's three days.
- Yeah.

- Do we know why?
- Some kind of leak.

- What?
- A water leak.

- Apparently someone complained.
- But roadworks?

I mean, it's a plumber and a spanner.
I could fix it myself.

No, Tony, you shouldn't be doing
manual labour in your condition.

- I don't have a condition.
- Do you want me to get that for you?

No, I'm fine! Got it.
Yeah, can open a door.

Good.

- So, the intermodal.
- Really?

Got back from Canberra last night.
PM had the chequebook out.

Should have seen the Treasurer.
Tap and go!

- Wow.
- You said it yourself.

It's a smart way to move freight and
it'll ease congestion at the port.

- And there were no issues?
- Why would there be issues?

- Well, I guess with the freight line.
- No.

- Grade separation.
- No.

- Compulsory acquisitions.
- What was that?

- It's in the report.
- What page?

- One.
- Yeah, but where exactly?

- Fourth paragraph.
- Fourth?!

"Duplication will involve
mandatory incursions

"into designated
private property boundaries,

"necessitating forcible seizure
and acquisitions."

- What does that mean?
- We'll need to knock down houses.

- What?!
- Did you not read this bit?

I thought it was just legalese!

It should have been highlighted,
not buried away!

- Page one?!
- Fourth paragraph!

It was also on the 3-D presentation.

I was wondering what that was.

- There.
- Whoa!

- And there they go.
- And no-one noticed?

Well, it just swept through.

There should've been a sound effect,
like a wrecking ball or something.

So where does that leave us?

Well, can we find another route?

There is no other route. To build
this thing means losing houses.

- Can we go under them?
- It's a freight line!

- Over? Around?
- Jim!

What's that Elon Musk Hyperloop thing?

I'd better make some calls.

- Read it!
- Yes!

They've got six workers down there
for one pipe.

- Is that Brian?
- I think he's liaising.

Is my office a little... orange?

We changed the fluoros to LEDs.
It's more calming.

- Yeah, I doubt it. How's it looking?
- Yep. OK.

If you go through the options,
it pretty much comes down to

SlideRocket, Wink,
Power Deck or MediaShout.

- Not PowerPoint?
- Sure.

If your dial-up modem was still working.

I'm really after something basic.

Yeah, which is why
I've gone with Power Deck.

It's user-friendly, good interactive
graphics, drag and drop.

Katie, is there actual coffee in here?

- I made it weakish.
- And is it...

Decaf. I thought you might prefer it.

- I don't.
- That's your second one for today.

Katie, I'm allowed to drink coffee.
Honestly, I'm relaxed and I'm calm.

- Ah, bugger!
- Problem?

Yeah, you didn't tell me
your operating system was 10.8.

I didn't know I had an operating system.

Power Deck requires 10.9 or above.

You know what? Maybe we go back
to the old whiteboard.

- No. I can do an upgrade. It's easy.
- That's what you said last time.

- Are you still missing those files?
- Yes.

I'll do a backup. Straight to the cloud.

- OK. Katie, is this milk?
- Yes.

- From cows?
- Almonds.

- Ugh.
- Ugh what?

Estimated time remaining, three hours.

It's alright. I'll try it here.
Stronger signal.

- This is when the lighting helps.
- Sure.

- What's it called again?
- An intermodal.

It's a way to get freight
from the docks...

- Mmm. Very exciting.
- Real feather in your cap.

Well, to be fair,
Tony did a lot of the early work.

Your feather, your cap.

Just FYI, the Prime Minister
wants to announce it this week.

So soon?

Cornerstone of his
Delivering the Goods program.

I'm not sure we're ready to announce.

- What do you mean?
- Because of the houses.

- What houses?
- Have you not spoken to Jim?

No. Oh, I've got a couple
of missed calls.

- We have to demolish some houses.
- What?!

- It was in the report.
- Where?

Here.

- Page one.
- Down there?

Talk about burying the lede!

"Duplication will involve mandatory
incursions into designated..."

Oh! In 140 characters or less.

Excuse me. Would either of you like
a slice of Tony's welcome-back cake?

- It's not bad.
- Um...

- Yes. What is it?
- Date and chia seed.

- No, thanks.
- No, thanks.

Look, maybe we need to hold off
on the announcement.

Let me make some calls.

Just say hello, I guess.

- He's meditating.
- Oh, good.

Would you mind if I got some cake?

- Yes.
- Thanks.

What am I signing?

I didn't want to break your trance.

I wasn't in a trance.
Any word on my computer?

Scott's downstairs.
There's a stronger Wi-Fi signal.

- It's been all morning.
- I'll find out what's happening.

Tony. Is now a good time?

- For?
- Talk about your presentation.

Sure. What's with the high-vis...

Oh. I've been liaising with the
site foreman about our water leak.

- Just setting up the work zone.
- There's a zone?

- It's a double carriageway, Tony.
- Right.

Yeah. Oh, is it OK if a couple of
the guys use our kitchen for lunch?

Sort out the traffic management...

Are you OK? Hey, I'll get
the defibrillator! Katie!

- No, I'm fine.
- Katie!

- Code red! Code red!
- I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

Sorry, false alarm, folks.
Yep, sorry. Come back here. Yep.

He's alright, everyone. He's alright.

- Have some coconut water.
- Oh, I've had enough. Yeah.

- Sorry, what were we talking about?
- Your presentation.

Scott spoke to me, said you want
to keep it on the down low.

- Yes. Pretty straightforward briefing.
- Right. Briefing.

There's no need to go over the top.

- Over the top.
- I said no need to go over the top.

Have you used a laser pointer before?

- No, why?
- Oh, OK.

We're gonna need to do
a safety induction.

Lectern or lapel?

- What?
- Microphone.

Brian, it's in the boardroom.

I'm expecting eight people max.
I think I could just talk.

No materials, take-homes? Merch?

- Why would I want merch?
- Provides a button.

- Yeah?
- I've got enough to go on with here.

Anything else, we can sort out
during the tech run, OK?

- Sure.
- Tony?

Scott wanted me to let you know

that your computer backup
is now out to 16 hours,

so he's trying a different floor.

- More coconut water?
- Had enough.

- We all agree it's a great project.
- Yes.

- Department's on board?
- Check.

- So, what's standing in our way?
- Currently, 12 houses.

And possibly part of a primary school.

- Oh, my God!
- It's OK. Kids love trains.

- Not running through their classroom.
- How big a problem is it?

Well, for a start,
we haven't told the residents.

- We haven't told Cabinet.
- What?

Keep going.

Normally with these things, there's
a process of community consultation.

Let's get on with it, then.
Start consulting.

Go out, listen to people's concerns,
take them on board.

- And then?
- We can start building.

- That's not how consultation works.
- Yes, it is.

- No, it's not how it's MEANT to work.
- Well, if it ain't broke.

The key is to show people
we're listening.

And would this show them...

Let them know we want input, feedback.

- Those are just words.
- Good words.

- Engagement.
- There's another.

And will this consultation
change our plans?

It will shape them. Inform them.

It's all part of having a mature debate.

If one side has no intention
of conceding,

then it's not a mature debate.

- Yes, it is.
- It isn't.

- It is.
- It isn't.

- It is!
- But it's not a mature debate.

Yes, it is. And I just won!
Now, let's get moving!

- Katie.
- Tony.

Where's my chair?

I thought you might like
to stand for a while.

I don't.

It lowers your risk of diabetes
AND heart disease.

- Says who?
- The internet.

It can also improve your mood.

Mmm, not working.

- Oh, my computer!
- Just got it back from IT.

There was a bug in
the new operating system.

- What?!
- Yeah, it's alright.

We've gone back to 10.7.

- The previous system?
- Yeah.

You mean you've actually
downgraded my computer?

Good news is we found
a version of Power Deck

that's compatible with 10.7,
and it's on its way over.

Oh, the courier rang.

The street was blocked, so
he's going to come back.

Maybe I'll try that upgrade again.

- No, I wouldn't do that.
- No problem. I reckon it'll work.

No, no... What? What?

- You're OK, Tony! I've got you, mate!
- Oh. I'm fine...

- I'll get the defibrillator!
- Stay with us, Tony!

- Yeah, I'm right here.
- Stay with us, Tony! Bring it in!

- Come on!
- I've got the EpiPen!

- I'm really sorry.
- No need to be sorry.

Better a false alarm
than a full-blown cardiac arrest.

That's true. Thank you.

I've spoken with the department.
Aired your concerns.

They agree we MAY have jumped the gun.

OK.

They propose further
community consultation.

We start by handing out fact sheets,
information packs,

and we offer all concerned homeowners

their own individual case officer.

And what will this case officer
be able to do?

Manage their concerns.

We also set up a hotline

and a website with a dedicated
'have your say' section.

- And if people say don't build it?
- Then they've had their say.

But none of this
will change our decision?

We're not having this argument again.

- No, I just want to be sure.
- Oh, right. What time is it?

Oh! It's time to start consulting.
Where's Ash? Ash?

- So, what shall we tell them?
- Nothing. We're just doing a survey.

Rhonda said to keep it general.

My name is Natalie Russell.
This is Ash De Silva.

And we are from
the Nation Building Authority.

- Is this about the bins?
- No.

We're just conducting
a survey of local residents.

Would you mind if we asked you
a few questions?

- Uh, sure.
- Great.

- How long have you lived here?
- 26 years.

26? Wow. And have you
ever thought of moving?

Why would I want to move?

- Downsizing?
- It's a one-bedroom home.

- Upsizing?
- It is a beautiful house.

Well, thank you.

Out of interest,
would it be heritage-listed?

- I don't think so.
- Good.

- What?
- Nothing. Um...

Traffic. Big issue?

A lot of heavy trucks
going past these houses.

How do you feel if the government
was to get rid of them?

What, the trucks or the houses?

- Oh.
- Ha ha.

Um, this is a general notification
that the government is looking into

general transport options in the area.

In general. Nothing's been decided.

- About what?
- Nothing.

That... that'll do. Thank you.

Good news, Tony. We've had three
more RSVPs to your presentation.

Oh, that's good. Katie, can I get
my notes printed on different paper?

- Sure.
- What's this?

- A4.
- Maybe make it A2 or even A1.

- Can you just give us a quick level?
- Testing one, two, three...

- Are you planning to turn your head?
- Yes.

We might need to think about
a non-directional mic.

- Here you go, Tony.
- Thanks.

- What is it?
- It's water.

- Why is it pink?
- It's nutrient water.

Any chance of getting something
from the vending machine?

It is from the vending machine.
Would you prefer a peach tea?

No, it's fine. Yeah. Good to go, Scotty?

Just about.

What does "just about" mean?

I'm trying to pair your computer
with the screen.

Doesn't appear to be working.

Yeah, it says it's connected,

then when I switch slides...

- ..it says it's switching slides.
- Switching slides...

- Nup.
- That's a mystery.

- Mmm, a mystery.
- This is where you need 10.9.

- Nuh.
- Nothing?

There is out there.

- Oh. Look. There it is.
- Oh, great.

- Ah, good job.
- Mystery solved.

- What are you eating?
- Date and chia slice.

- Want some?
- No.

So, it looks like no-one wants to move.

Apart from the students at No. 7.

I suspect they're squatters.

- What are you doing?
- It's for Rhonda.

Just use your phone.

- We're not spies. Shit!
- What?

- Down. Down.
- Down?

Down! Down, down. No, not the window!

- No?
- Uh-oh.

- Excuse me.
- Hi.

- Are you from the government?
- No.

Uh, what's "Nation Building Authority"?

Uh, we're an agency
that works WITH government...

- Nothing's been decided.
- Is this about the freight line?

- Who told you?
- We've heard all sorts of rumours...

I'll give you a number to call. Any
issues or concerns, the hotline is...

No, not MY card.

And you're Natalie?

- Yep.
- Thank you.

So, as you can see, those techniques
fall into three main categories,

base erosion...

..profit-shifting...

..and tax havens.

- Do we really need the sound effects?
- Gives it impact.

It sounds like a kids' cartoon.
I'm trying to find gravitas.

- I like it, Tony.
- Do you?

- Mm-hm.
- Where was I?

- Uh, the graph.
- Oh, yeah.

Taken as a whole, it presents
a pretty damning picture.

- Gravitas.
- Yeah.

With total tax revenue
loss represented by purple

and potential...

Sorry, which one's the purple?

- Oh, uh, that one.
- What, that one?

- Oh, no, that's mauve.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- From here, it looks more magenta.

- No, that's...
- Maybe if we dim the lights...

Yeah. Oh, hang on, I need my notes...

Ow!

- Call Triple 0!
- No, no, no. Just a knee.

- No, just a knee.
- No, just sit! I've got the EpiPen!

It's a knee. It's a knee. I did my knee.

- What were you thinking?
- She approached us.

I said liaise with the public.
Don't talk to them.

- Which one is she?
- Joan Meredith. No. 5.

She's also president of the local
Save Our Suburbs Action Group.

- There's an action group?
- Show me.

There. Shit, I just followed them.

- Sweetheart, she's trouble.
- Really?

Never underestimate a retiree
with Facebook skills.

What about the others?

We spoke to everyone in the street,

asked them hypothetically,
would they be prepared to sell?

- And?
- No real takers.

Don't these people realise they're
standing in the way of progress?

No. 11 emailed.
He's willing to consider an offer.

- One patriotic Aussie.
- He lives in Hong Kong.

- I don't think anyone wants to move.
- Oh, it's so predictable.

Sure, we all want progress,
but not in my backyard.

We're stealing their backyard.

They can't have their cake
and eat it too.

- They had cake. WE ate it.
- Sorry, whose side are you on?

Guess who just started
an online petition.

Oh. I said she was trouble.

- Look how many signatures...
- Don't touch it!

We're gonna have to
stop you there, mate.

Oh, I work here. That building.
NBA. Tony Woodford.

Brian, I've got a Tony Woodley here.
Says he needs to get in.

- Rightio.
- Yep?

Alright, mate.
Let's take it really easy, OK?

- OK.
- Careful, careful. Boys?

- Can you let him through?
- OK.

- Yep? You alright?
- Oh, I'm fine. I'm absolutely fine.

OK.

- OK. Alright, just down this way.
- Yep.

Uh, what did Brian say?

- They don't look happy.
- You should see the PM.

This is a good news story.

State and federal governments
working together.

PM wants to move
the announcement forward.

- What for?
- To stick it up the Premier.

But we can't have this mob
turning up, crashing our party.

No. We need to take the
heat out of this thing.

- How?
- We hold a community meeting.

- What?
- An interactive feedback session.

When you say "we"...

You're the one who wanted
community consultation.

Our media team suggest

that you focus on the number of
jobs this project will generate...

Are you taking notes?

The fact that people will
no longer have trucks

running past their front doors.

- They'll no longer have doors.
- This is a good one.

It's getting Australia on the move.

What does that even mean?

Oh, what does anything mean?
They're just talking points.

Tony, that's your third
coffee for today.

- Well, it's been a long day.
- Let me make it.

Seriously, I'm fine. I...

There's a platoon here.

I hope you don't mind, I let them
have the rest of your chia slice.

It's one pipe.

I mean, seriously, you could shut it

and ship in mineral water from Tuscany.

That reminds me, our water will be
off tomorrow between 4pm and 8pm.

- Yep. OK.
- Yeah, it's the whole street.

Is it? Yeah. What's this?

Oh. Your speech notes. You asked for A1.

- Yep.
- Mm-hm.

Thanks.

- Good turnout.
- We're not doing a Fringe show.

They don't sound happy.

Do you want me to go out
and try and warm them up?

I don't think they need warming.

- Ohh.
- What?

Twitter's gone nuts.
Some pretty nasty comments.

- About us?
- No.

More you.
Joan posted your business card.

- What? Where?!
- Right here.

Shit. I just retweeted it.

Sorry we're a bit late. Had to get
dropped off down the street.

Looks like you're having
quite a bit of work done.

Yeah, a little bit of work done.
So, come in and sit down.

Uh, Katie will get you
a tea or a coffee.

- Oh, there's no water.
- Oh. Or a juice or a coconut water.

- Scotty, we're, um...?
- All good, Brian?

Alright, thanks, everyone,
for making the time.

I realise everyone's
on a tight schedule,

but I think what I'm
about to show you today

represents a significant
economic reform.

- Sounds exciting.
- We're all ears.

Well, I'll walk you through it.

Australia today faces
a major ongoing problem,

and that problem is...

Oh.

No, that's not it. Sorry, folks.

Just a couple of gremlins in the, uh...

..Power Deck... thing that we're using.

So, once we knock this on
the head, we'll, um...

..we will be able to...

Ah, there we go. So... Yeah.

So, this graph represents

the top 10 infrastructure investments
of the last decade, and what...

Uh, are we able to make that
a little bit bigger, Scotty?

Uh, just trying...

Yeah. I think this is
where we needed the 10.9.

No, we don't have 10.9.

OK, well, I think... You know what?
Let me read it to you.

I'll give the y-axis, pre-tax
profits, percentage of wages paid...

- I'm just gonna try one more thing.
- Yep.

Ah. No. No...

- Save our suburb!
- Yeah!

- Save our homes!
- Yeah!

Well, guess there's nothing for it.

- You've got the talking points?
- Yep.

After you.

Sorry, folks, just waiting on...
Just give me a final...?

Yeah. That's a no.

No? OK, alright, I'll do it
from my notes. Katie?

Sorry, folks, if we just
all sit down again,

I'll give you a brief verbal overview
and we'll get the show on the road.

You, um, didn't shrink them?

- No.
- No? That's fine.

OK, well, if you just hold
them up, then, maybe,

and I'll do it from here.

So, folks, I think you can
all see that. Uh, so...

Oh, hang on. Here we go.

- Oh. Oh, great.
- Back on.

- Alright, stay there.
- Over to you, Tony.

I just want to skip the first frame,
the first graph. How do I do that?

- Just hit any button.
- Mm-hm.

Except space bar.

OK, sorry, folks...

- Hey, what's that?
- Uh, what's what?

Is that some sort of irrigation project?

Oh, no, it's, uh...
screen saver kicked in.

Whatever happened to
that Riverina Basin upgrade?

Oh, yeah. Just sort of
fell off the agenda.

- We should follow up on that.
- No, we should.

Sorry... Yeah, we should. I just...

It's just not what
I want to talk about right...

- Here you go. Riverina Basin upgrade.
- Yeah, we did let that slip.

We got a long way down the track
with that.

- Yeah, not that far...
- How are we going, Scotty?

- Yeah...
- Final... You got it?

Oh. No, sorry, that's even worse.

- Code red! Code red!
- Red! I'll get the defib!

- Well done last night.
- It was a disaster.

Mission accomplished.

It showed we're willing to listen,
to engage, take on feedback...

- We were egged.
- ..in whatever form it comes.

- You stuck to the talking points.
- That's what started the eggs.

Now when we build this thing, no-one
can say they weren't consulted.

Good news, Nat. They managed to get
all the egg out of your jacket.

- Oh, great.
- But not your pants.

Can I get you a chamomile tea?

Is the water back on?

Oh. Glass of milk?

- No, thanks.
- Found the culprit!

It was in HDMI 1. Should have been in 2.

- Ah!
- Lesson learned.

And we should have
gone with SlideRocket.

No, we should have gone
with a whiteboard.

'Cause name one thing that
that presentation achieved.

The Minister travelled to Charleville

to announce the irrigation scheme.

For too long, the farmers
of Central Queensland

have lacked a reliable water supply.
