is a double-page spread.
173
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,959
Uh...
174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,999
Did you sign off on that promo?
Good morning to you too, Helen.
175
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,999
A 7:45 guaranteed result?
And an Irish comedian?
176
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,639
Just so you know,
177
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,399
that's come directly from
little Charlie himself.
178
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,959
He doesn't know the first thing
about news.
179
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,279
He doesn't see the election
as a news event, Helen.
180
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,759
He sees it more as being a, um...
181
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,159
..a network branding event.
What?
182
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,879
And he has decided that
our network brand is, uh...
183
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,879
..backyard barbecue.
184
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,519
What does that mean?
Dennis?
185
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,319
He reckons that networks are like
different kinds of food.
186
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,919
Yeah? So, the ABC is like
a plate of vegetables.
187
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,799
But then you have
your roast chook, right?
188
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,759
Your Sunday lamb!
Mmm.
189
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,239
Backyard barbecue.
190
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,519
He just wants the tone to be relaxed
and irreverent, OK? That's it, so...
191
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,039
Are you even listening to yourself?
192
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,359
Um, I can check with the data
analyst, but it was my understanding
193
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,799
that 7:45 is more of a likelihood
than a guarantee.
194
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,919
OK, thanks, Noelene, but there's
nothing we can do about that.
195
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,839
Also, I don't think
Paul Keating's an exclusive.
196
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,479
I think he's appearing
on several networks.
197
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,439
OK, thanks again, Noelene!
Nothing we can do about that!
198
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,279
No other news director
would sign off on that.
199
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,679
That is not true, OK?
The ABC has comedians!
200
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,799
You know that guy that does
the impersonations?
201
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,039
Lindsay, shit, we've got to go.
202
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,879
Dale, now that she's had
her little showboat,
203
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,919
I don't want any more hissy fits
about this, because...little, uh...
204
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,199
..little Chuck has invested
a lot of money in News At Six
205
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,559
and, mate, he's not happy.
206
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:41,919
He always seems upbeat.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, right. To your face.
207
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,239
Do you know what he called you two
the other night?
208
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,839
"The silver couple of news".
209
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,799
Sometimes you're
"the bronze couple of news",
210
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,679
and sometimes you're dangerously
close to "polished turd" territory.
211
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:53,919
But our ratings have been consistent.
Jesus, Dale!
212
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,679
The amount of money he has spent,
he doesn't want consistent,
213
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,839
especially on election night, and
especially given the competition!
214
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,359
MAN: Out of the 10 previous
elections that you've hosted,
215
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,999
which ones in particular stand out?
216
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,479
Well, it's hard to go past '69.
Gorton versus Whitlam.
217
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,719
And you were the first
to call that one, correct?
218
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,039
Just after 8pm. Over an hour
before the competition.
219
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,399
Oh. (CHUCKLES)
220
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,279
Well, over the years, you, uh...
221
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,119
..you develop an understanding
of the key swing seats.
222
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,759
It paid off in '69, and I'm sure
it will tomorrow night.
223
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,559
What about you, Kay?
224
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,239
Any, uh, childhood memories
of watching Dad on election night?
225
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,519
Uh, I remember always loving it.
226
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,519
It's the one night Mum let me eat
sausages and chips for dinner.
227
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,479
Ah.
(LAUGHS)
228
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,039
And will it be sausages
this Saturday?
229
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,519
Oh, of course!
230
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,999
With Kay back from London,
I'll be doing all the favourites.
231
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,319
(CHUCKLES)
232
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,239
Geoff, Saturday's also
the first time
233
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,159
that you'll be in direct competition
with your former colleagues
234
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,999
at the News At Six.
235
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,079
You've had some strong words to say
about the News At Six in the past.
236
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,519
Well, I've said all
I intend to say, Keith.
237
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,679
Yeah, well, nothing to add
a year down the track?
238
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:13,959
We'd, of course, like
to thank the viewers
239
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,599
for all their cards and letters
240
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,159
and to assure them that
Geoff is absolutely thriving.
241
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,439
The new network is wonderful
242
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,559
and we're just loving
living a little closer to the city.
243
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,759
But can I just ask, have you had
any contact with Helen Norville...
244
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,519
Let's move on, Keith.
245
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,399
Yep. Uh...
246
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,279
(CLEARS THROAT) Well, uh...
247
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,319
Thank you very much. Um, we might
just get a family photo if we could.
248
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,759
Kay, would you mind just
squeezing up a little bit,
249
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,239
we'll get a family shot?
250
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,279
That'd be great. Thank you.
251
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,119
Big smiles. (LAUGHS)
252
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,399
Thank you.
253
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,919
We so appreciate it, Cheryl.
254
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,039
Um, are we still on for the 5th?
255
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,759
If that's alright.
256
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,279
I'd hate to get you into trouble
with the News At Six.
257
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,679
Oh, no, no.
I just don't tell 'em. (CHUCKLES)
258
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:05,879
Oh, thank you.
259
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,799
Truly, no-one does it better.
260
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,719
Thank you. (CLEARS THROAT)
261
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,599
That went well.
262
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,959
Mmm.
263
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,799
I do think it'd be worth doing
a little bit of afternoon radio.
264
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,599

Just a couple of interviews...
265
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,879
Enough!
266
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,679
Oh, take the dress.
I bought it for you.
267
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,999
I'm OK.
268
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,119
Oh, it looked really lovely, Kay.
Very feminine. Stylish.
269
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,279
Yes. It's the height of '87 style.
270
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,879
You know what they say
about sarcasm, darling.
271
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,319
"It's the lowest form of wit."
It's the lowest form of wit.

Why isn't Mum going up?
274
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,199
Well, Canberra is a touch bleak
in the wintertime, so...
275
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,959
You want to escape her?
No, no, no.
276
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,199
I wouldn't blame you.

Mm-hm.

284
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,719
Um, sorry, if I order room service,
285
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,879
do I use the per diems
or do I charge the room?
286
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,839
Officially, the per diems.
287
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,199
Unofficially, most people
charge the room and pocket the cash.
288
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,599
They also tend to save
the taxi vouchers for personal use.
289
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,839
I'm sure Rob could tell you
all about it.
290

you're talking about there...

Uh, Noels, just before you take off,
293
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,199
could I ask you to have a quick
squiz at that late update script?
294
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,999
Yes, of course.
Alright?

00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,879
Thanks, Jean.
Have a good time.

Well, it's just that
Helen and Dale will be there.
304

telling the office post-election.

They're two booths over.

and say hello, you know?

Get it over and done with.
No, I'm not talking to him.

Hello.

00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,999
Helen. Lovely to meet you. Welcome.
Of course.

Nice to meet you, Trevor.
Thank you.

7:15! Wow.
Yeah.
337
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,279
I ran the results
for '77, '80 and '83,
338
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,559
and in each case, the system
would have the winner by 7:15.
339
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,319
So it'll be earlier? Great.

GERRY: I made the assumption
there'd be edible food here tonight.
341
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,199
I'm guessing that was foolish.
Hi.
342
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,039
Wow. You honestly expect the viewers
to focus on the politicians?
343
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,919
Welcome, Gerry.
How are you, Dale?
344
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,239
Uh, good. Um...
345
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,839
I might go to the...
346
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,759
Hey, Ray, can I grab
a glass of water?
347
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,559
Thank you.

349
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,279
(WHISPERS) Wow.
350
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,959
Jesus!
351
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,079
Rob, you look like
a bloody Lowes catalogue.
352
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,199
(DENNIS LAUGHS)
Well, I got told it was casual.
353
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,239
Yes, mate. The rich pricks'
version of casual!
354
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,239
Very different.
Well, should I go and get changed?
355
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,999
It'd take me 25 minutes
to duck back, grab a jacket.
356
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,159
No, no, no, mate. Not enough time.
You've got to go as you are.
357
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,719
Don't want to blot the copybook.
I want an invite on that yacht.
358
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,639
What yacht?
He's got a $3 million yacht.
359
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,759
No.
Yeah, he does.
360
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,959

He does, yeah.

Follow me.
Yep. Thank you.

00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,879
Wow.

No shit.

Good, thanks, Charlie. How are you?
Yeah, good, mate.
370
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,559
What, you off to the races
after this?
371
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,559
Sorry?

00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,479
You look like one of the old man's
bookies there. (LAUGHS)

Oh, right. OK. Yeah.
374
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,319
Hey, so, I just saw an ad
for the competition.
375
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,559
Their big interview -
some senator I've never heard of.
376
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,359
We got the bloody treasurer!
377
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,959
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

That you, Dermot?
Dennis.
379
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,559
Dennis. Sorry, mate.
It was, uh, Noels.
380
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,119
Do I know Noel?
381
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,439
Yeah, Noelene. She's a producer.
Noelene. Producer, yes.
382
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,959
She's had about 800 calls
to Keating's office.
383
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,279
Wore him down. She's...
384
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,399
Yeah, she's...
I made a call too to Paul.
385
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,759
Yeah, people say I'm a bit like
Keating, actually, you know.
386
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,119
Not physically, of course.
387
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:57,879
Just a sort of a...
certain gravitas or something.
388
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,719
Their words, not...
I see it.

on who to watch tonight. (CHUCKLES)

Yep.
402
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,999
I gather you'll be delivering
the result by 7:45 guaranteed.
403
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,279
Well. (CHUCKLES)
404
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,439

technology myself, but...

Well, careful what you wish for.

a very long time to fill.

Come on, Paul.
Yep. (SIGHS)
408

I don't care.

those teeth pictures?

Teeth pictures?
Yep.
412
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,919
Yep. All four.
Mmm.
413
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,159
Yeah, I thought I could say
414
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,479
what's always stood out to me about
Australian elections is the teeth.
415
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,119
And then we'd super up pictures
416
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:22,759
of Howard, Hawke, Peacock
and Keating's teeth,
417
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,479
and I'd do a comedic
dental assessment of them.

here in our nation's capital,

with hundreds of journalists,

even some members of the public.

All of them are looking
to the boards behind us,
430
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,719

for those first crucial results

Uh, thank you, Helen.
441
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,679
So, what percentage of votes
need to be counted
442
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,639
before you can convincingly
call for a winner?
443
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,639
Actually, just 4% or 5%.

Remarkable, isn't it?
445
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,519
And we could reach that point
very early, so stay tuned.

that from August onward,

I will be on screen

back on their screens.

00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,679
But right now,
east coast polls have closed,

in his home seat...

Yes. Yes, he is.

This is live.

want to...want to go call Noelene

to Geoff's coverage

and there is live footage
of Keating from Bankstown!
490
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,399
I don't think so.
Bankstown! Sydney!

to spend the day in Bankstown,

then head to Canberra
in the afternoon.

It WAS live footage, Noelene, OK?
Because it was dark there!

Also, the CEO wants a big build-up.
509
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,519
"Get your dinners now. Top up your
drinks. The big moment's coming."
510
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,759
And we're back in 20.
511
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,519
I am not gonna be dictated to
by little Charlie,
512
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,799
especially not live on air.
513
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,319
We can definitely weave in
a little build-up.
514
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,479
No, I'm not gonna say,
"Come on, get your dinners, please."
515
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:13,599
It's not Romper Room.
516
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,159
We don't have to use
those words necessarily.
517
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,679
Wrap it up. 10 seconds.
518
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,479
Charlie's rung my staff
with joke suggestions
519
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,639
before three of my shows -
they were all terrible.
520
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,079
Yeah, so you just
ignored them, right?
521
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,839
Oh, no, I said them.
But I've got no integrity.
522
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,199
You stick to your guns.
523
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,039
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
524
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,439
and welcome back
to Election Night '87.
525
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,959
Where the nation decides.
526
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,519
We have 21% of the vote counted
in the seat of Forde
527
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,759
and appear to be seeing
a swing to the opposition.
528
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,519
Is that right, Geoff?
(DOOR OPENS)
529
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,159
KAY: Just me.
GEOFF: That's right, Paddy.
530
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,239
And Forde, as you know,
is in Queensland
531
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,839
and it is, of course, a swing seat.
532
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,279
How's he going?
533
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,279
EVELYN: Uh...it's still early.
534
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,639
I got the sausages.
535
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,959
I'm alright.
Oh, are you sure?
536
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,399
It's tradition.
537
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,159
Yeah, I'll just have
a drink, thanks.
538
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,359
Is Scott joining us?
539
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,079
What?
540
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,719
It's over with Scott.
541
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,759
When did that happen?
Last week.
542
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,799
Oh, darling.
543
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,039
Come on, Mum. Don't pretend like
you're not happy about it.
544
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,279
No, of course I'm not.
545
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,719
No, he was a very...
546
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,319
He was a pleasant man.
547
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,239
You hated him.
No!
548
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,879
No, I just wondered if he had
enough drive for you.
549
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,719
Well, he's pissed off
without paying the rent,
550
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,639
so I don't have that $200.
551
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,079
He's a prick.
552
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,039
Well, do you want your father
to call him about that?
553
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,199
No, it's just...it's $200.
554
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,239
Well, technically, your father
is Scott's landlord...
555
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,479
Mum, I've just told you
I've broken up,
556
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,079
and you're chasing rent.
557
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,759
Sorry.
558
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,559
Sure you don't want the sausages?
559
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,399
Fine.
560
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,319
TV: The voting booths were open
at eight o'clock this morning,
561
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,639
and there was an early morning
surge to vote.
562
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,999
By lunchtime,
the crowds had thinned to...
563
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,399
Yes, I called his campaign office.
564
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,999
They directed me
to his electorate office.
565
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,279
RAY: Eight. Seven.
566
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,239
He's the treasurer of Australia.
Someone must know where he is.
567
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,559
Can you at least give me the name
of the venue in Bankstown?
568
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,919
Well, we are just a quarter of an
hour away from that crucial moment,
569
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,479
so, Australia, clear away the dinner
plates and top up those drinks,
570
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,239
because as per the News At Six 7:45
guarantee, the moment is imminent.
571
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,919
HELEN: So, Trevor,
with 4% now counted...
572
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,159
Yeah, that's better.
573
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,919
..is the Datamax system showing
any emerging trend?
574
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,279
Wouldn't say solid, though,
would you?
575
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,159
TREVOR: So far, I can confirm
that the vote is down for Labor,
576
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,999
but not necessarily down evenly.
577
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,079
So there is a negative swing
against the government?
578
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,159
In some places, yes. Definitely
New South Wales, but not in others.
579
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,759
In fact, their vote is up
in some surprising places.
580
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,319
So...yeah, i-it may or it may not
be a swing.
581
00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:59,639
Well, Gerry Carroll
thinks he's identified
582
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,719
a surprising factor at play
in the 1987 campaign.
583
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,319
Gerry, can you illuminate us?
584
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,039
Why, of course, Dale.
585
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,279
Now, for me, this election has
all been about the dental work...
586
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,919
Is there a problem?
What? No, no, no, no, no.
587
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,999
I'm just...I'm just, uh...
I'm just inputting.
588
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,359
You said 7:15.
It's just turned 7:30.
589
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,999
Yeah, well, the program was built
to work off national swing, so...
590
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,799
Is 7:45 at risk, Trevor?
591
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,679
OK, the way it processes
is...is...is...is...
592
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,639
D-d-d-d... Look...
look, I could explain it to you,
593
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,759
or I could just keep inputting data
and actually get us there,
594
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,119
which is what I think you want.
595
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:30,479
..teeth take up most of his face.
596
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,239
With what little space that's left
being dedicated to his eyebrows,
597
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,719
it leaves you in a position of not
being sure what brush to reach for.
598
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,079
(CLEARS THROAT) Uh...
599
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,999
Paul Keating, on the other hand,
rarely if ever reveals a tooth,
600
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,479
for obvious reasoning.
601
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,759
Paul, I'm narrowing my focus to
the eight seats I'm listing here.
602
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,319
Could I ask you to update me as soon
as any of these figures come in?
603
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,479
Yeah.
604
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,519
And also, let me know what happens
at 7:45 on News At Six.
605
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,879
(CHUCKLES) OK.
606
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,519
800 calls you made - for what?!
607
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,279
His office said they tried to call.
608
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,959
It was a last-minute change
just this afternoon.
609
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,639
The results were looking tight,
so Keating wanted
610
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,599
to stay in Bankstown
instead of come to Canberra.
611
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,679
Fuck me sideways!
Just give me this.
612
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,199
Send the link truck to Bankstown
and do it as a live cross.
613
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,559
Well, I HAVE sent a link truck,
but there's a technical issue here.
614
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,359
Our OB van isn't getting return
audio. They can't work out why.
615
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:17,079
But right now, Keating wouldn't be
able to hear us. We need a studio.
616
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,679
Give me that thing, will you?
617
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,479
Listen, Noelene,
I want you to tell me this.
618
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,999
I want to hear it from you
619
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,079
that both our relentlessly
advertised features -
620
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,039
the 7:45 verdict
and Paul fucking Keating live -
621
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,519
has come a gutser!
622
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,799
Y-y...yeah, just...
623
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,399
There's a studio
in Parliament House.
624
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,639
They use it for live crosses
every now and then, OK?
625
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,319
You're gonna have to send
Dale or Helen there.
626
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,119
How far away is it?
I don't know! It's Canberra!
627
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,239
It's a glorified country town.
628
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,079
Look, I'm just gonna make
some phone calls, right? Just...
629
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,439
Is that off?! Have I turned it off?
Er...
630
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,279
BOB HAWKE: I think
we'll win, but, uh...
631
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,519
..it's just silly
to jump in too quickly.
632
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,039
INTERVIEWER: Certainly,
you wouldn't be...
633
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,079
So, I hear you're a bit of
a sailing man, Charlie?
634
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,679
Not really.
635
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,719
HAWKE: ..and John Mildren's got some
ground to make up. That's one...
636
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,919
You've got one minute, Trevor.
637
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,759
Sorry, I presently cannot
focus my left eye.
638
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,839
I think...I think...
I think that we just have to...
639
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,999
..we just have to say that the
guarantee's just not gonna happen.
640
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,199
No, we can't put it like that.
641
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,039
We have to say that
we're in uncharted territory,
642
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,519
that we're on a knife's edge.
643
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,559
But it might not actually be
a knife's edge.
644
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,559
OK, we're a ship tossed at sea.
RAY: And in 10!
645
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,879
That doesn't even make any sense.
Just take the CEO out of your head.
646
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,119
I'm not thinking of the CEO.
Jesus Christ!
647
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,839
"The result has defied the most
advanced computer technology,
648
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,559
"and all we can do is sit and wait."
OK.
649
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,839
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
we have hit that crucial time of 7:45
650
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,319
and we have found ourselves
in uncharted territory.
651
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,439
HELEN: They say
that the news never stops.
652
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,079
Dale, I think we can add to that.
653
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,399
The news can never truly
deliver a guarantee.
654
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,839
What, is that a sledge at the promo?
655
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,959
With 5% of the vote now counted,
the results have defied
656
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,479
our state-of-the-art
Datamax computer system.
657
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,999
So, ladies and gentlemen...
Jesus Christ!
658
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,439
..you're just gonna
have to keep watching,
659
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,399
'cause it looks like we're in
for a roller-coaster of a night.
660
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,279
There are a million people
changing the channel right now.
661
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,919
I should... Should I go get Lindsay?
662
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,839
Who dropped the ball here, mate?
Was it Noelene?
663
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,119
Uh, no. Absolutely not. But sh...
I'll just see if I can find him.
664
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,879
Do that, get rid of the data bloke,
665
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,719
and tell Lindsay to get Keating
on that fuckin' desk.
666
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,319
Alright.
667
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,759
(QUIETLY) Hey.
668
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,199
The News At Six didn't call it.
669
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,279
They're still just reading
individual seat results.
670
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,759
(LAUGHS) I would describe it
as very boring.
671
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,039
I need you to give me
one more update on Barton
672
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,999
and, uh...one more on Rankin.
(CLEARS THROAT)
673
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,919
Rankin and Barton. OK.
674
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,199
And, Paddy?
675
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,399
I'd say five minutes.
676
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,239
(COUGHS)
Five. Four...
677
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,119
PADDY: Well, let's have a look
at some of the ALP seats
678
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,879
where the Liberal Party is leading.
679
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,919
First up, Chisholm -
Chisholm is in Victoria,
680
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,439
currently held by Helen Mayer
by a margin of 0.2%.
681
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,919
The Liberal Party candidate,
Dr Wooldridge,
682
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,759
has run a very
high-profile campaign.
683
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,999
Dr Wooldridge is sitting on
47.6% of the primary vote.
684
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,919
If that trajectory maintains,
685
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,999
Dr Wooldridge will probably be
the new member for Chisholm.
686
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,919
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
687
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,839
Mr Walters has been furiously
doing his sums, and...
688
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,439
..and, uh, it looks as though he
has something that he wants to say.
689
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,639
Geoff?
690
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,599
GEOFF: Yes, Paddy.
Oh. Kay.
691
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,559
Now, thus far,
we've been focused on the...
692
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,759
Darling?
693
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,919
..percentage of the overall vote,
but in fact, the result...
694
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,199
Kay?
695
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,559
..is always going to be dictated
by the number of seats.
696
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,799
Is he calling it?
I think so.
697
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,199
The Labor government came in tonight
with a 16-seat advantage.
698
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,159
Their overall vote is clearly down,
but, Paddy, as I see it,
699
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,799
for the Labor government
to lose tonight,
700
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,239
they would need to lose the five
following seats, and they are...
701
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,559
..Hinkler, Barton,
Rankin, Bendigo and...
702
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,839
..Hawker.
703
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,519
As it stands,
704
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,999
I believe Labor can be
very confident holding all five.
705
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,079
So, on the basis of that,
706
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,479
I am prepared to declare Labor,
the Hawke government...
707
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,039
(APPLAUSE IN BACKGROUND)
..the winner tonight.
708
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,759
..is Peter Paroulakis...
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
709
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,239
..and the Labor...
710
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,759
Well, Dale, it sounds like some good
news has emerged from down there.
711
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,319
PADDY: You heard it here first.
Geoff Walters...
712
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,999
(LINDSAY LAUGHS)
713
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,519
..veteran of so many federal
elections, has declared that...
714
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,759
Ohh! Live telly, eh? It's like
juggling eggs on a roller-coaster!
715
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,079
But, mate, Charlie, I think we're
definitely well and truly on track.
716
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,559
..a convincing victory.
717
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,399
Walters just called it for Hawke.
718
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,679
..convincing, Paddy.
719
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,839
There's clearly a lot of
voter discontent out there,
720
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,439
frankly, both sides,
but ultimately, it was the...
721
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,039
Lindsay?
Mmm?
722
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,399
..Coalition losses in Queensland...
723
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,959
Where is Paul Keating?
724
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,159
Do you think this loss will mark
the end of John Howard...
725
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,039
Dennis, where is Paul Keating?
726
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,119
Certainly not. I don't think so.
John Howard put in a...
727
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,599
(GRUNTS)
728
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,039
(APPLAUSE CONTINUES)
729
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,759
We might...
730
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,919
We'll go to a break
and we'll be back with so much more,
731
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,399
including, hopefully, that result
in just a moment.
732
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,679
Geoff just called it for Labor.
733
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,519
What? What? No, hang on, hang on.
734
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,759
I-I don't know how you can say that
735
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,799
with so little of
the West Australian vote counted.
736
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,559
Trevor, I'm gonna have to ask you
to step off camera
737
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,919
for the rest of the telecast.
738
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,679
Come on, mate. 30 seconds!
739
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,759
I-I-I'm just... 10...10 minutes.
That's all I need.
740
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,719
Dale and Helen will call
the result themselves.
741
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,159
Yep. OK.
I'm really sorry.
742
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,479
Um...
743
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,799
I also have a Keating update.
Yeah?
744
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,719
I think we still have him,
but not on our desk.
745
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,399
He didn't come to Canberra
this afternoon. I'm so sorry.
746
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,519
There's a link truck already
heading out to him in Bankstown...
747
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,039
OK, so then it's just a cross?
748
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,359
Yes, but unfortunately not with you.
749
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,239
Our OB van is having issues with
return audio. We need a studio.
750
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,279
And the closest studio is
out in Parliament House.
751
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,719
OK, well, that's...that's...
that's 10 minutes. We can do that.
752
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,439
No. No. Hang on, hang on...
I can get us there in 10.
753
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,239
Including leaving here and
setting up is probably more like 20,
754
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,239
and Charlie's demanding
that he be interviewed right now.
755
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,039
You get me Charlie Tate
on the phone right now!
756
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,559
I don't have his number!
RAY: Here we go!
757
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,999
I don't care what he thinks.
Helen...
758
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,599
Tell Parliament we're using the
studio. We'll be there right now.
759
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,479
If we don't have a Keating
interview, then all we've got
760
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,359
is a failed guarantee and some
fucking jokes about Hawke's teeth!
761
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,319
Go, go! As fast as you possibly can!
762
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,319
Welcome back to the national
tally room in Canberra,
763
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,959
where a sense of jubilation has taken
root amongst the Labor supporters
764
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,319
with the breaking news
765
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,199
that Bob Hawke will be re-elected
prime minister of Australia
766
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,439
for a historic third term.
767
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,719
(ENGINE STARTS)
768
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:35,559
NOELENE: Um, head out and turn left.
769
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,559
REPORTER: What are
your celebration plans now?
770
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,319
Oh, uh, several cups of tea.
771
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,479
(LAUGHTER)
772
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,199
This is gonna be the highlight
of the telecast, trust me.
773
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,519
RAY: 30 seconds!
774
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,919
So, um, are you just imagining
more comedic observations or...?
775
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,639
Just ask me the same questions
you'd ask a political analyst
776
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,119
and let me answer.
777
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,719
Don't worry about being funny.
778
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,079
Thanks.
779
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,799
Hey.
And here we go.
780
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,079
What's that?
It's straight vodka.
781
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,879
I haven't had a sip of water
all night.
782
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,559
Seven! Six!
783
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,759
Uh, my face goes red with spirits.
784
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,439
You're wearing make-up.
785
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,639
A victorious Bob Hawke there
in Melbourne
786
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,559
after a third election victory,
787
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,879
and with me now is noted political
analyst Mr Gerry Carroll.
788
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,079
So, Gerry...
Mmm?
789
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,479
You told me that
Keating was on his way.
790
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,879
Er, Charlie...
it'll be on in a second.
791
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,359
It'll be well worth the wait.
Keating will put on a good show.
792
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,919
You just sit tight.
793
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,719
GERRY: Uh, well, Dale,
794
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:38,119
I think Johnny will probably move
towards his natural calling in life,
795
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,279
which has always been
suburban solicitor...
796
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,279
Right.
797
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,999
..and I think we should
be happy for him.
798
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,799
NOELENE: No, no, no, no, no. Sorry,
I meant the next one. The next one.
799
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,279
Sorry!
800
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,079
So, ultimately, this result comes
as no surprise to you?
801
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,359
Oh, no.
802
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,999
Look, Dale, I have
my very own election barometer,
803
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,319
and it works every time.
804
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,559
What you do is you look at the
number one sportsman in that country
805
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,799
and you ask yourself,
who would they vote for?
806
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,639
Here in 1987, it's clearly
Wimbledon champ Pat Cash,
807
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,079
And if you imagine
Mr Cash sitting there
808
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,359
weighing up Hawke versus Howard...
809
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,119
..well, there's really no question.
810
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,079
I like this. This is a better tone.
811
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,439
Yeah, it's not bad, is it?
Yeah. Yeah.
812
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,639
Absolutely. (CHUCKLES)
Absolutely agree.
813
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,519
In 1954, he skols
two and a half pints of beer...
814
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,399
OK.
Put that on that shit background.
815
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,119
Beg your pardon?
Can you help me?
816
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,559
What? Oh. Yes.
Go on the other side.
817
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,039
Um...Keating's eyeline is to
the screen, not to the camera, so...
818
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,159
Just match that?
Uh-huh.
819
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,599
MAN: Trig, could you get
in Keating's position, please?
820
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,039
What time is it now?
Uh, 20:13.
821
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,519
20:13. OK.
It's still good. It's still good.
822
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:02,759
OK.
823
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,839
Now, did you say he lost votes
in his own electorate?
824
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,359
Uh, yes. 5%.
825
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,359
5%. OK, great. Um, good.
826
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,719
(CLEARS THROAT)
827
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:13,639
And, Gerry, if you had to name
one highlight from tonight?
828
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,559
Well, apart from the biscuits, Dale,
829
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,599
I think my highlight was learning
a few brand-new words.
830
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,199
My favourite being 'scrutineer'.
831
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,279
Well, a potential new career
for you, Gerry?
832
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,839
Well, look, all I know about it,
Dale, is that they scrute,
833
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,799
and God knows...I've always been
partial to a quick scrute.
834
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,599
Well, famously so.
835
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,359
Right now, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a News At Six exclusive.
836
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,519
We are going to cross
to Helen Norville,
837
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,839
who will be speaking
to our re-elected treasurer...
838
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,439
You alright?
Yeah, I'm standing by.

Yes!
You beauty.

for the next three years at least.

is good and ready to go...
852
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,279
All those phone calls.
Yeah.
853
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,639
They paid off, mate.
Yeah.
854

..those who fancy ourselves
as his successor
855
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,359
then get an opportunity
to propose ourselves
856
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,199
to the government, to the caucus.
857
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,839
But that's a matter for our party
and, uh, it'll all occur in its time.
858
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,439
Opposition Leader John Howard had to
contend with a lot of disunity.
859
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,399
You enjoy total party unity,
but your personal vote was down 5%.

861
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,439
Do you feel that you won tonight
by default?
862
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,679
KEATING: I think there's a lot of
rewriting history going on today.
863
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,839
She looks great.
The government won this election.
864
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,839
I think Mr Howard debased
the political currency.
865
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,119
I mean, I think he ran
866
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,119
on the most disreputable
and irresponsible financial policy
867
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,559
of any leader in this country
in the last 20 years
868
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,959
and he deserved the loss
that he's taken.
869
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,999
And so I'd guess that
you would prefer John Howard
870
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,439
to stay on as Opposition Leader
871
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,919
as opposed to returning
the leadership to Andrew Peacock?
872
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,959
Oh, she's going for it.
She's going for it. Good girl.
873
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,079
But as far as Peacock's concerned,
874
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,599
I mean, let me put
the rhetorical question,
875

They said we...collapsed at 7:45.
1017
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,919
Never recovered.
1018
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,759
That stupid bloody
News At Six guarantee.
1019
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,199
A cheap trick.
1020
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,239
Maybe that's what people want
these days.
1021
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,879
Cheap tricks.
1022
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,399
Clowns.
1023
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,919
And that network has spent
an absolute fortune
1024
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,759
on utterly false advertising.
1025
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:52,079
Helen's being promoted as this...
woman of gravitas.
1026
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,839
She's far from that.
Think what we know about her.
1027
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:55,999
Huh!
1028
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,119
And from what I hear,
that's the tip of the iceberg.
1029
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,199
You've maintained
a dignified silence.
1030
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,319
It's time
the truth about her emerged.
1031
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,799
You know...you know...you know...
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
1032
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,439
Wh-what it was
was it was the guarantee.
1033
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,359
(LAUGHS) Mate, we didn't
even have to deliver!
1034
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,719
It was just the promise of it.
1035
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:24,719
It was a stroke of genius, mate.
Well done, you.
1036
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:26,759
Yeah, I actually think
Gerry was the main drawcard.
1037
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,239
He was good. He was good, wasn't he?
Surprisingly to some people.
1038
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:32,839
But, you know, I like to think
the, um...the whole team...
1039
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,519
You were right about Dale.
He's getting there.
1040
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,279
It's just, uh...
1041
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,479
..Helen.
1042
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:42,839
Yes?
1043
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,359
Mate, she was great under Geoff.
It's just, as a headliner...
1044
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,519
I don't know what it is.
I think she's just sort of...
1045
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,119
..too dominant over Dale
and she's really aggressive and...
1046
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,119
I reckon we give her
a couple of months to pull it in.
1047
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,039
If she can't...
1048
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,319
..we talk replacements.
1049
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:00,759
Sure.
1050
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,519
Sure. No complaints this end
on that.
1051
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,199
But, you know, it could be
a little bit tricky.
1052
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:05,959
They, uh...
1053
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,279
..they are a couple.
1054
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,919
Yeah, it's not my problem.
1055
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,359
No. Of course it's not. It's theirs.
1056
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,559
Good plan. Very good plan.
1057
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,239
Well, happy days.
And well done...well done again...
1058
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:19,599
(HANGS UP)
1059
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,199
I mean, did he show
any humility at all, or...?
1060
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,519
Well, you know, he was...
he was Charlie. (CHUCKLES)
1061
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,559
But, um, he did say
congratulations. So...
1062
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,199
Ah.
Well, that was nice of him.
1063
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,159
I think...I think
a toast is called for. Uh...
1064
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,039
To the person who will appreciate
our victory the most.
1065
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,239
Here's to Geoff Walters.
1066
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:55,679
(LAUGHTER)
He can blow it out his arse!
1067
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,039
(ALL CHEER, APPLAUD)
1068
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,399
Dennis asked me today
if we were a couple.
1069
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,959
What did you say?
1070
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,799
If you don't see us having
a future together, just tell me.
1071
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,279
You know what's at stake for me
if we tell the office!
1072
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,359
Breaking news from
the heart of Melbourne
1073
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,879
as terror unfolds
on a Clifton Hill street.
1074
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,359
The whole country is on the brink
of a colossal change
1075
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:57,959
and it is our job to report it.
1076
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,759
A civilian was able
to walk into a shop...
1077
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,799
Ohh!
..on High Street and walk out
1078
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,839
with a military-grade weapon
made for war zones!
1079
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,719
Am I cutting around that or...?
No. I mean, we should keep it.
1080
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:10,679
Run the bloody things, then.
With a big graphic.
1081
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,119
"First on the scene."
Oh!
1082
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,959
If it bleeds, it leads.
1083
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,959
And the approach taken
by the network in question
1084
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,999
represents a troubling new low.
1085
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,719
Mostly they're complaints about you!
