๏ปฟ1
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,248
Good morning. Dale Jennings
with the latest news.
2
00:00:14,259 --> 00:00:16,160
Dire Straits have commenced
their Australian tour amidst...
3
00:00:16,171 --> 00:00:18,331
Mate, newsreading... not for everyone.
4
00:00:18,907 --> 00:00:20,267
Is it a vocal thing?
5
00:00:20,699 --> 00:00:23,108
You know, I am a disaster.
6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:26,679
But I'm also relentless. I reckon
we can make you a newsreader.
7
00:00:26,724 --> 00:00:31,124
If you or the network
mistreat my husband in any way,
8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,120
the public response will
be utterly devastating.
9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,520
But I think we may have
reached the end of the line.
10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,960
How about I go to the press
11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,709
and detail how I've been treated
by this network after 30 years?!
12
00:00:43,126 --> 00:00:45,360
Noelene confirmed the quote was false.
13
00:00:45,566 --> 00:00:48,033
And you're coming to see
me after the bulletin.
14
00:00:48,044 --> 00:00:50,863
You can come back in on Monday.
You're the best one there, Noel.
15
00:00:50,874 --> 00:00:54,200
Hey, Noelene, would you like to
come out for a drink at the pub?
16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,200
Has anything like this happened
since you were a teenager?
17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,280
The things that I hid are the
things that I don't want to resist.
18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,920
I have these feelings.
They won't go away.
19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,080
But neither will my feelings for you.
20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
I love you just the way you are.
And I'm gonna be right next to you.
21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,160
Good evening. I'm Helen Norville.
22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440
And I'm Dale Jennings. You
are watching News At Six.
23
00:01:15,975 --> 00:01:17,680
This way, please.
24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,360
And big laugh.
25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,160
That's it. Keep
watching me for the cues.
26
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,866
โช With an endless desire โช
27
00:01:36,877 --> 00:01:39,680
โช Oh, I kept on searching โช
28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,920
โช Sure in time our eyes would meet โช
29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,000
โช Like a bridge that's on fire โช
30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,240
โช The hurt is over, baby โช
31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,080
โช One touch and you set me free โช
32
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,320
โช Mmm, I don't regret a single moment โช
33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,520
โช No, I don't โช
34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,400
โช Looking back โช
35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,760
โช When I think of all
those disappointments โช
36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,560
โช Well, I just laugh โช
37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,560
โช Ha! I just laugh โช
38
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,040
โช When the river was
deep, I didn't falter โช
39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,160
โช When the mountain
was high, I still believed โช
40
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,240
โช When the valley was
low, it didn't stop me โช
41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,880
โช No, no โช
42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,080
โช I knew you were waiting โช
43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,680
โช I knew you were waiting for me โช
44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,120
โช I didn't falter โช
โช Oh, no โช
45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,760
โช When the mountain was high โช
โช I still believed โช
46
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,160
โช I still believed โช
โช When the valley was low โช
47
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,080
โช When the valley was
low, it didn't stop me โช
48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000
โช No, I knew you were waiting โช
49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,040
โช I knew you were waiting for me. โช
50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,680
- Please thank the Tony Bartuccio Dancers!
- You ready?
51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,920
OK, so, just remember, he's
not gonna stick to the script
52
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,200
and he kind of likes it if
you tease him a little bit.
53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,346
What?
54
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo,
whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!
55
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,000
Are we lucky? Yes!
56
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:13,480
- Well done.
- Now, three more sleeps till election day.
57
00:03:13,569 --> 00:03:15,840
Are we all exhausted yet?
58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,040
I certainly am.
59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Hawke and Howard, Keating and Peacock,
60
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,800
well, it's all just a blurry
sea of very bushy eyebrows
61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,920
at this point, isn't it?
62
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,240
Now, my next guests have been there
63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,040
for every twist, every turn,
every insult of the campaign,
64
00:03:30,234 --> 00:03:31,840
and they are, of course,
65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080
News At Six's very own
golden couple of news.
66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,942
Please welcome the magnificent
67
00:03:36,952 --> 00:03:39,480
Miss Helen Norville
and Mr Dale Jennings.
68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Wow. Wow. What can I say?
69
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040
- You look beautiful.
- Thank you.
70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,927
- Gerry.
- Good to see you. Yeah.
71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,160
Whoo!
72
00:03:59,513 --> 00:04:01,473
Now, tell me...
73
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,560
Oh, is there still anything left
to discuss about this election?
74
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Well, I think this election might be
75
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,611
a lot closer than people think, Gerry.
76
00:04:08,622 --> 00:04:09,880
- Really, Dale?
- Yes.
77
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Well, people are tipping
for a Hawke re-election,
78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,240
but I'm not so sure, and
like any election night,
79
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,360
there might be some... turns,
some twists, some surprises,
80
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760
some bad losers,
possibly even some tears.
81
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,800
Mmm. But all of that
will be coming from me.
82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,880
Now, now, the pair of you.
83
00:04:30,215 --> 00:04:33,440
Two newsreaders in a relationship.
Can we talk about that?
84
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Be careful, Gerry!
85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,162
Oh, I don't think you can lecture me
86
00:04:36,172 --> 00:04:37,680
about good behaviour, Miss Norville.
87
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,720
Your voices are always
so... calm and polished.
88
00:04:42,922 --> 00:04:45,560
What I want to know is what
happens when you have an argument.
89
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Oh, well...
90
00:04:47,492 --> 00:04:49,920
Well, we don't really
have any arguments, do we?
91
00:04:50,047 --> 00:04:52,247
Well, I actually find it quite useful.
92
00:04:52,632 --> 00:04:53,920
"Crossing now to the kitchen,
93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,520
where Dale has forgotten
to take out the rubbish."
94
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,560
You spend your whole
working day together,
95
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,560
you read the news together,
you go home together.
96
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,960
That's right. Yeah.
97
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,240
Well, at what point do you
run out of things to say?
98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Well, the news never stops, Gerry.
99
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,290
One always has a lot to talk about,
especially in an election year.
100
00:05:11,301 --> 00:05:12,394
- This is...
- Alright, Dale.
101
00:05:12,405 --> 00:05:14,189
It's not election night yet. At ease.
102
00:05:16,802 --> 00:05:22,440
Now, in 1986, you delivered
us all a newsroom romance.
103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,539
In 1987...
104
00:05:26,205 --> 00:05:29,280
can we... expect a newsroom wedding?
105
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,840
- Oooh!
- Mmm.
106
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:34,920
"Uh, crossing now to Dale Jennings."
107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Well, thanks, Helen.
108
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,640
Look, we're just focusing
on this critical election
109
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,840
that we have ahead of us, uh, this year.
110
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,680
It's also a... it's
a jolly fascinating...
111
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,560
Who says "jolly"?
112
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,080
Dale, I told you not to watch it.
113
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,600
Who am I, Santa Claus? I've never
used that adjective in my life!
114
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,160
My favourite was when you referred
to yourself as "the royal one".
115
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,467
I did not do that!
116
00:06:00,478 --> 00:06:02,518
Rewind. It's right there on the tape.
117
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:04,636
We sent specific questions
about the election!
118
00:06:04,647 --> 00:06:06,967
Yeah, but I told you, he
never sticks to the script.
119
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,191
Hey, there's not a history
between you two, is there?
120
00:06:10,202 --> 00:06:11,960
What, a history between... With Gerry?!
121
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,840
- Yeah.
- No!
122
00:06:14,441 --> 00:06:16,240
Are you sure? 'Cause
he was very flirtatious.
123
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,720
Oh, are you a bit jealous?
124
00:06:17,779 --> 00:06:18,897
No.
125
00:06:18,907 --> 00:06:20,102
You sure?
126
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,160
Yeah, a little bit, but...
127
00:06:22,418 --> 00:06:23,760
Correct!
128
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,200
Don't be.
129
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,640
... on this critical election ahead.
130
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,360
And it's not only an Australian
election this year, it's also...
131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,440
Newsreader Dale Jennings
there, avoiding my question.
132
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320
The issue overshadowed
Mr Howard's campaign
133
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,080
in marginal Brisbane seats today.
134
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,800
He was quick to respond and
issued one of his strongest
135
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,000
campaign attacks yet
against the government.
136
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,040
The creator of the "banana republic"
137
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,160
is now campaigning like a
treasurer of a banana republic...
138
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,360
Howard called him an "economic vandal"
139
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,400
and Keating fired back and said,
"If the Liberals win government,
140
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,240
you'd need a pair of binoculars
to find the Australian dollar."
141
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,440
- Have you seen it?
- Seen what?
142
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,520
- The promo for election night.
- Do we want to?
143
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,600
Promos just delivered it.
They're very proud of it.
144
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,560
The new CEO dictated the copy himself.
145
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,360
Showdown 87... Hawke and Howard.
146
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,320
And News At Six will
give you the winner first.
147
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Our state-of-the-art
Datamax computer system
148
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,640
will deliver the result
at 7:45 guaranteed.
149
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:00,414
Join Helen Norville and Dale Jennings...
150
00:08:00,425 --> 00:08:02,120
Is that confirmed? Guaranteed?
151
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,600
... with comic interludes
by Gerry Carroll...
152
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,632
- No.
- ... and an Australian exclusive
153
00:08:06,643 --> 00:08:08,629
with federal treasurer Paul Keating.
154
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
The biggest names. The fastest results.
155
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,240
Only on the News At Six.
156
00:08:16,887 --> 00:08:19,188
I mean, that can't...
that can't go on air.
157
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,880
It's on air. The print version
is a double-page spread.
158
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,760
Uh...
159
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,800
- Did you sign off on that promo?
- Good morning to you too, Helen.
160
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,800
A 7:45 guaranteed result?
And an Irish comedian?
161
00:08:36,952 --> 00:08:40,200
Just so you know, that's come
directly from little Charlie himself.
162
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,088
He doesn't know the
first thing about news.
163
00:08:42,099 --> 00:08:45,080
He doesn't see the election
as a news event, Helen.
164
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,560
He sees it more as being a, um...
165
00:08:48,712 --> 00:08:50,960
- a network branding event.
- What?
166
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,680
And he has decided that
our network brand is, uh...
167
00:08:55,226 --> 00:08:56,680
backyard barbecue.
168
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,320
- What does that mean?
- Dennis?
169
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,973
He reckons that networks are
like different kinds of food.
170
00:09:01,984 --> 00:09:04,841
- Yeah?
- So, the ABC is like a plate of vegetables.
171
00:09:04,852 --> 00:09:07,600
But then you have your
roast chook, right?
172
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,560
- Your Sunday lamb!
- Mmm.
173
00:09:10,066 --> 00:09:11,546
Backyard barbecue.
174
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,582
He just wants the tone to be relaxed
175
00:09:16,592 --> 00:09:18,320
and irreverent, OK? That's it, so...
176
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,840
Are you even listening to yourself?
177
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,160
Um, I can check with the data
analyst, but it was my understanding
178
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,600
that 7:45 is more of a
likelihood than a guarantee.
179
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,720
OK, thanks, Noelene, but there's
nothing we can do about that.
180
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Also, I don't think Paul
Keating's an exclusive.
181
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,280
I think he's appearing
on several networks.
182
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,240
OK, thanks again, Noelene!
Nothing we can do about that!
183
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,080
No other news director
would sign off on that.
184
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480
That is not true, OK?
The ABC has comedians!
185
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,478
You know that guy that
does the impersonations?
186
00:09:40,489 --> 00:09:41,518
Lindsay, shit, we've got to go.
187
00:09:41,529 --> 00:09:43,680
Dale, now that she's
had her little showboat,
188
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:47,720
I don't want any more hissy fits
about this, because... little, uh...
189
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,000
little Chuck has invested a
lot of money in News At Six
190
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,360
and, mate, he's not happy.
191
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,720
- He always seems upbeat.
- Yeah, right. To your face.
192
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,040
Do you know what he called
you two the other night?
193
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,640
"The silver couple of news".
194
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,600
Sometimes you're "the
bronze couple of news",
195
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,480
and sometimes you're dangerously
close to "polished turd" territory.
196
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,720
- But our ratings have been consistent.
- Jesus, Dale!
197
00:10:06,011 --> 00:10:08,480
The amount of money he has
spent, he doesn't want consistent,
198
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640
especially on election night, and
especially given the competition!
199
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Out of the 10 previous
elections that you've hosted,
200
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,800
which ones in particular stand out?
201
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Well, it's hard to go past
'69. Gorton versus Whitlam.
202
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,613
And you were the first
to call that one, correct?
203
00:10:27,624 --> 00:10:31,840
Just after 8pm. Over an
hour before the competition.
204
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Oh.
205
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,080
Well, over the years, you, uh...
206
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,920
you develop an understanding
of the key swing seats.
207
00:10:38,266 --> 00:10:41,906
It paid off in '69, and I'm
sure it will tomorrow night.
208
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:45,360
What about you, Kay?
209
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Any, uh, childhood memories of
watching Dad on election night?
210
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,320
Uh, I remember always loving it.
211
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,320
It's the one night Mum let me
eat sausages and chips for dinner.
212
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,280
Ah.
213
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,840
And will it be sausages this Saturday?
214
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,320
Oh, of course!
215
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,800
With Kay back from London, I'll
be doing all the favourites.
216
00:11:07,437 --> 00:11:10,040
Geoff, Saturday's also the first time
217
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,960
that you'll be in direct competition
with your former colleagues
218
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800
at the News At Six.
219
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,880
You've had some strong words to say
about the News At Six in the past.
220
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,320
Well, I've said all I
intend to say, Keith.
221
00:11:20,526 --> 00:11:22,675
Yeah, well, nothing to
add a year down the track?
222
00:11:23,157 --> 00:11:25,760
We'd, of course, like
to thank the viewers
223
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,400
for all their cards and letters
224
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,960
and to assure them that
Geoff is absolutely thriving.
225
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,240
The new network is wonderful
226
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,360
and we're just loving living
a little closer to the city.
227
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,560
But can I just ask, have you had
any contact with Helen Norville...
228
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:42,320
Let's move on, Keith.
229
00:11:45,609 --> 00:11:46,943
Yep. Uh...
230
00:11:46,954 --> 00:11:49,403
Well, uh...
231
00:11:50,699 --> 00:11:54,219
Thank you very much. Um, we might
just get a family photo if we could.
232
00:11:54,304 --> 00:11:56,560
Kay, would you mind just
squeezing up a little bit,
233
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,187
we'll get a family shot?
234
00:11:58,198 --> 00:12:00,069
That'd be great. Thank you.
235
00:12:00,263 --> 00:12:02,545
Big smiles.
236
00:12:02,556 --> 00:12:03,611
Thank you.
237
00:12:03,622 --> 00:12:06,720
We so appreciate it, Cheryl.
238
00:12:06,873 --> 00:12:08,993
Um, are we still on for the 5th?
239
00:12:09,019 --> 00:12:10,560
If that's alright.
240
00:12:10,713 --> 00:12:13,080
I'd hate to get you into
trouble with the News At Six.
241
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,748
Oh, no, no. I just don't tell 'em.
242
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:17,680
Oh, thank you.
243
00:12:17,889 --> 00:12:20,309
Truly, no-one does it better.
244
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,520
Thank you.
245
00:12:22,777 --> 00:12:24,400
That went well.
246
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:26,399
Mmm.
247
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,600
I do think it'd be worth doing
a little bit of afternoon radio.
248
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,400
- Evvie...
- Just a couple of interviews...
249
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,680
Enough!
250
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,480
Oh, take the dress. I bought it for you.
251
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,629
I'm OK.
252
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,988
Oh, it looked really lovely,
Kay. Very feminine. Stylish.
253
00:12:44,999 --> 00:12:48,080
Yes. It's the height of '87 style.
254
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,680
You know what they say
about sarcasm, darling.
255
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:53,120
- "It's the lowest form of wit."
- It's the lowest form of wit.
256
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,640
Why isn't Mum going up?
257
00:13:01,903 --> 00:13:05,000
Well, Canberra is a touch
bleak in the wintertime, so...
258
00:13:05,221 --> 00:13:06,760
- You want to escape her?
- No, no, no.
259
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,000
I wouldn't blame you.
260
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,640
Shh.
261
00:13:11,060 --> 00:13:12,340
Wait.
262
00:13:26,099 --> 00:13:27,459
Drive carefully.
263
00:13:42,747 --> 00:13:44,107
You've got a single.
264
00:13:44,118 --> 00:13:46,489
- Dale and Helen are in a full suite.
- Mm-hm.
265
00:13:46,636 --> 00:13:48,000
Per diems.
266
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520
Um, sorry, if I order room service,
267
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,680
do I use the per diems
or do I charge the room?
268
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,640
Officially, the per diems.
269
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Unofficially, most people charge
the room and pocket the cash.
270
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,400
They also tend to save the
taxi vouchers for personal use.
271
00:14:05,604 --> 00:14:07,640
I'm sure Rob could
tell you all about it.
272
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,760
I don't know what you're
talking about there...
273
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,720
Jean.
274
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,680
Uh, Noels, just before you take off,
275
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:16,000
could I ask you to have a quick
squiz at that late update script?
276
00:14:16,115 --> 00:14:17,915
- Yes, of course.
- Alright?
277
00:14:17,926 --> 00:14:19,806
- Thanks, Jean.
- Have a good time.
278
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,120
Just, the wording is... weird.
279
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,720
Yeah. I'll help you.
280
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,600
Mmm...
281
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,440
- Hey?
- Mmm?
282
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,720
- How many stars is the hotel?
- Four.
283
00:14:57,886 --> 00:14:59,766
Well, should I see if
I can get a flight up?
284
00:15:00,493 --> 00:15:02,333
We don't have to tell your family.
285
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,960
Well, it's just that Helen
and Dale will be there.
286
00:15:05,221 --> 00:15:09,040
Yeah. I thought you wanted to start
telling the office post-election.
287
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:11,460
Well, not the very next day.
288
00:15:11,979 --> 00:15:14,094
Oh, OK. Mmm.
289
00:15:14,128 --> 00:15:17,560
- But... how about when I get back...
- Mmm?
290
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,200
... I pick you up, and we use
all my taxi vouchers and per diems
291
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,120
and I take you to Sizzler?
292
00:15:23,433 --> 00:15:25,873
Oh, yes!
293
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,280
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
294
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760
OK.
295
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,680
Oh. Wait 30 seconds.
296
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,880
Last time, you came up two steps
behind me and it was really obvious.
297
00:15:41,079 --> 00:15:42,399
Yeah, roger that.
298
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,575
- Rob.
- Oh, shit. Sorry. You just told me that.
299
00:15:45,586 --> 00:15:47,960
Sorry. Shh. Shush.
300
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Shhh-ush.
301
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,840
OK. So...
302
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,080
G'day.
303
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Hey, Noelene. How are you?
304
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,360
Hi, guys. How are you
doing? Nice to see you all.
305
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,640
The statistician is
here. No sign of Gerry yet.
306
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,760
What about Geoff?
307
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,360
His network is here.
They're two booths over.
308
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,920
Well, we should go over
and say hello, you know?
309
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,640
- Get it over and done with.
- No, I'm not talking to him.
310
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,200
- This is Trevor, data analyst.
- Hello.
311
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,800
- Helen. Lovely to meet you. Welcome.
- Of course.
312
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,160
- Nice to meet you, Trevor.
- Thank you.
313
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,560
So, we're looking good for 7:45?
314
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,640
Well... just between us...
315
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,280
I think it'll be more like 7:15.
316
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,040
- 7:15! Wow.
- Yeah.
317
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,080
I ran the results for '77, '80 and '83,
318
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,487
and in each case, the system
would have the winner by 7:15.
319
00:17:01,498 --> 00:17:04,120
So it'll be earlier? Great.
320
00:17:04,318 --> 00:17:06,920
I made the assumption
there'd be edible food here tonight.
321
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,000
- I'm guessing that was foolish.
- Hi.
322
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,840
Wow. You honestly expect the
viewers to focus on the politicians?
323
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,720
- Welcome, Gerry.
- How are you, Dale?
324
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Uh, good. Um...
325
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,329
I might go to the...
326
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:19,329
Hey, Ray, can I grab a glass of water?
327
00:17:19,656 --> 00:17:21,360
Thank you.
328
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,080
Wow.
329
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,760
Jesus!
330
00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:48,880
Rob, you look like a
bloody Lowes catalogue.
331
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,000
Well, I got told it was casual.
332
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,040
Yes, mate. The rich
pricks' version of casual!
333
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,040
- Very different.
- Well, should I go and get changed?
334
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,800
It'd take me 25 minutes to
duck back, grab a jacket.
335
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,960
No, no, no, mate. Not enough
time. You've got to go as you are.
336
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,520
Don't want to blot the copybook.
I want an invite on that yacht.
337
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,440
- What yacht?
- He's got a $3 million yacht.
338
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,560
- No.
- Yeah, he does.
339
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,760
- Does he?
- He does, yeah.
340
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600
- Hello.
- Hey. How are you?
341
00:18:09,706 --> 00:18:11,706
- Follow me.
- Yep. Thank you.
342
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,880
Shit.
343
00:18:20,526 --> 00:18:21,806
Wow.
344
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,600
No shit.
345
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,709
Bigger than the bar at
Young & Jackson's, isn't it?
346
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,200
Here he is.
347
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,880
Gentlemen, how are we?
348
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,840
- Good, thanks, Charlie. How are you?
- Yeah, good, mate.
349
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,985
- What, you off to the races after this?
- Sorry?
350
00:18:37,996 --> 00:18:40,061
You look like one of the old
man's bookies there.
351
00:18:40,072 --> 00:18:41,100
Oh, right. OK. Yeah.
352
00:18:41,111 --> 00:18:43,120
Hey, so, I just saw an
ad for the competition.
353
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,440
Their big interview...
some senator I've never heard of.
354
00:18:46,533 --> 00:18:48,160
We got the bloody treasurer!
355
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
356
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,240
- That you, Dermot?
- Dennis.
357
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,725
Dennis. Sorry, mate. It was, uh, Noels.
358
00:18:53,918 --> 00:18:54,920
Do I know Noel?
359
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,240
- Yeah, Noelene. She's a producer.
- Noelene. Producer, yes.
360
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,885
She's had about 800
calls to Keating's office.
361
00:18:59,896 --> 00:19:01,132
Wore him down. She's...
362
00:19:01,143 --> 00:19:03,200
Yeah, she's... I made
a call too to Paul.
363
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,560
Yeah, people say I'm a bit like
Keating, actually, you know.
364
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,647
Not physically, of course.
365
00:19:06,658 --> 00:19:09,680
Just a sort of a... certain
gravitas or something.
366
00:19:09,871 --> 00:19:11,520
- Their words, not...
- I see it.
367
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,240
Yeah.
368
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,640
So... just us tonight, boys.
Yeah. Casual seafood buffet.
369
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,440
Grab yourselves a drink,
make yourselves at home, eh?
370
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,524
- Beautiful.
- Yeah.
371
00:19:20,535 --> 00:19:23,175
You, uh... you want to take care
of that, please, love? Beautiful.
372
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,800
Thank you.
373
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,902
Young Dale.
374
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,560
- Geoff!
- Good to see you.
375
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,360
Hello.
376
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:39,600
Hey, congratulations on the new network.
377
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,480
My mother's terribly conflicted
on who to watch tonight.
378
00:19:43,133 --> 00:19:44,933
Is Helen with you?
379
00:19:45,819 --> 00:19:46,831
Yep.
380
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,800
I gather you'll be delivering
the result by 7:45 guaranteed.
381
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,080
Well.
382
00:19:55,325 --> 00:19:58,240
I don't fully understand the
computer technology myself, but...
383
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,000
Well, careful what you wish for.
384
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,160
Three hours is a very long time to fill.
385
00:20:05,126 --> 00:20:07,286
- Come on, Paul.
- Yep.
386
00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:18,879
- I just saw Geoff.
- I don't care.
387
00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:20,160
30 seconds!
388
00:20:20,362 --> 00:20:22,440
Hey, Noelene, you got
those teeth pictures?
389
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,040
- Teeth pictures?
- Yep.
390
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,720
- Yep. All four.
- Mmm.
391
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,960
Yeah, I thought I could say
392
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,280
what's always stood out to me about
Australian elections is the teeth.
393
00:20:30,553 --> 00:20:31,920
And then we'd super up pictures
394
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,560
of Howard, Hawke, Peacock
and Keating's teeth,
395
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,280
and I'd do a comedic
dental assessment of them.
396
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,040
Positions, please!
397
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,600
I'm terrifying you, aren't I?
398
00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:43,620
- No.
- And here we go.
399
00:20:43,706 --> 00:20:45,346
And in 10.
400
00:20:45,357 --> 00:20:49,117
Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
401
00:20:55,653 --> 00:20:57,200
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
402
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,480
and welcome to the National Tally
Room for Election Night 1987.
403
00:21:01,668 --> 00:21:04,074
- I'm Helen Norville.
- And I'm Dale Jennings.
404
00:21:04,085 --> 00:21:06,360
It's a freezing night here
in our nation's capital,
405
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,960
and the tally room is filling
up with hundreds of journalists,
406
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,760
party members, even some
members of the public.
407
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,000
All of them are looking
to the boards behind us,
408
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,520
anxiously waiting for
those first crucial results
409
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,040
to start coming through.
410
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,794
Polling booths on the east
coast have already closed...
411
00:21:19,805 --> 00:21:21,645
It's a nice set.
412
00:21:22,044 --> 00:21:23,500
- Very nice.
- ... first votes are counted,
413
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:25,845
- our computer analyst...
- Good design.
414
00:21:25,856 --> 00:21:27,620
- Yeah.
- ... Trevor Lehmann, will be able to see them
415
00:21:27,631 --> 00:21:30,364
on the News At Six Datamax computer.
416
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:31,577
Welcome.
417
00:21:31,588 --> 00:21:32,840
Uh, thank you, Helen.
418
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,320
So, what percentage of
votes need to be counted
419
00:21:35,331 --> 00:21:38,608
before you can convincingly
call for a winner?
420
00:21:38,619 --> 00:21:40,619
Actually, just 4% or 5%.
421
00:21:41,905 --> 00:21:43,280
Remarkable, isn't it?
422
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,320
And we could reach that point
very early, so stay tuned.
423
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,678
No, we reach that point at 7:45.
424
00:21:48,689 --> 00:21:51,669
Really got to hammer
that, Lindsay. 7:45.
425
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,386
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got a chyron
that's really gonna punch 7:45.
426
00:21:54,397 --> 00:21:56,360
It is coming. It is coming. Mmm.
427
00:21:56,702 --> 00:21:59,720
- You mind if we have a quick flick?
- Oh, not at all.
428
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,280
... live on the desk...
429
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,480
It truly wouldn't be an
election night without him.
430
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,107
I'm so thrilled to
welcome a television icon...
431
00:22:07,267 --> 00:22:09,040
Mr Geoff Walters.
432
00:22:09,259 --> 00:22:12,551
Good evening to viewers across
this vast and great nation.
433
00:22:12,562 --> 00:22:13,962
"And to you too."
434
00:22:13,973 --> 00:22:16,389
It's an honour to be with
you on this most critical of nights.
435
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,800
They're letting him
write his own script!
436
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,720
Mate, this is gonna end in
tears. "In tears."
437
00:22:20,949 --> 00:22:24,949
Well, Paddy, I'm happy to
confirm that from August onward,
438
00:22:25,332 --> 00:22:27,400
I will be on screen five nights a week
439
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,120
with a brand-new show,
The Walters Report.
440
00:22:30,709 --> 00:22:32,430
A half-hour of hard-hitting
current affairs...
441
00:22:32,441 --> 00:22:34,081
- Awful name...
- probing analysis...
442
00:22:34,092 --> 00:22:36,552
- Terrible.
- Oh, are they axing Quizmasters?
443
00:22:36,563 --> 00:22:38,680
... very excited to
have you back on their screens.
444
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,480
But right now, east
coast polls have closed,
445
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,480
so let's cross to Bankstown, where
federal treasurer Paul Keating
446
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,200
is arriving to watch the
results in his home seat...
447
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,480
Wait, Bankstown?
448
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,760
Keating's confirmed
for our desk, isn't he?
449
00:22:53,666 --> 00:22:56,506
Yes. Yes, he is.
450
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,080
- Uh...
- So?
451
00:22:58,338 --> 00:23:00,667
- Yeah. Hey, is this live?
- This is live.
452
00:23:00,678 --> 00:23:03,560
Uh... uh, look, Dennis, do you
want to... want to go call Noelene
453
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,920
just to, uh... to check on her?
454
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,600
- Yep, great. Great idea.
- Marta!
455
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,320
Phone!
456
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,040
Thank you, Marta.
457
00:23:14,441 --> 00:23:16,440
- This guy.
- Oh, great. Thank you.
458
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,160
- You can use it anywhere.
- OK. Thank you.
459
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,080
Thank you.
460
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,440
Tally room. Noelene speaking.
461
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,000
Yes! Hi. Yes, it's... it's Dennis.
462
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
So, we just flipped to Geoff's coverage
463
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,160
and there is live footage
of Keating from Bankstown!
464
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,200
- I don't think so.
- Bankstown! Sydney!
465
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,920
- Five hours from you!
- I know where it is.
466
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,760
He was always scheduled to
spend the day in Bankstown,
467
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,120
then head to Canberra in the afternoon.
468
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:42,280
It can't have been live footage.
469
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,000
It WAS live footage, Noelene,
OK? Because it was dark there!
470
00:23:45,433 --> 00:23:47,182
I, er, might call his media adviser.
471
00:23:47,193 --> 00:23:48,560
Give me that thing here!
472
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,720
Listen, you! I've got some
notes for Helen and Dale.
473
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,200
You get a pen and a shitload of paper!
474
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,520
Mm-hm.
475
00:24:04,491 --> 00:24:06,800
- Sorry. Just a couple of notes from Lindsay.
- What?
476
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,920
He doesn't want you to be so vague
about the time of the results.
477
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,640
Keep reiterating the 7:45 guarantee.
478
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,440
- Yeah, but it could be earlier.
- I'm just relaying.
479
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,960
Also, the CEO wants a big build-up.
480
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,320
"Get your dinners now. Top up your
drinks. The big moment's coming."
481
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,560
And we're back in 20.
482
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,320
I am not gonna be dictated
to by little Charlie,
483
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,600
especially not live on air.
484
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,120
We can definitely weave
in a little build-up.
485
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:24,280
No, I'm not gonna say, "Come
on, get your dinners, please."
486
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960
- It's not Romper Room.
- We don't have to use those words necessarily.
487
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,480
Wrap it up. 10 seconds.
488
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,280
Charlie's rung my staff
with joke suggestions
489
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,440
before three of my
shows... they were all terrible.
490
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,762
Yeah, so you just ignored them, right?
491
00:24:33,773 --> 00:24:35,640
Oh, no, I said them. But
I've got no integrity.
492
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,000
You stick to your guns.
493
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
494
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,240
and welcome back to Election Night '87.
495
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,760
Where the nation decides.
496
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,320
We have 21% of the vote
counted in the seat of Forde
497
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,560
and appear to be seeing
a swing to the opposition.
498
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,320
Is that right, Geoff?
499
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,960
- Just me.
- That's right, Paddy.
500
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,040
And Forde, as you know, is in Queensland
501
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,640
and it is, of course, a swing seat.
502
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,080
How's he going?
503
00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:03,999
Uh... it's still early.
504
00:25:04,812 --> 00:25:06,440
I got the sausages.
505
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,760
- I'm alright.
- Oh, are you sure?
506
00:25:09,161 --> 00:25:11,960
- It's tradition.
- Yeah, I'll just have a drink, thanks.
507
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,160
Is Scott joining us?
508
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,880
What?
509
00:25:19,252 --> 00:25:20,892
It's over with Scott.
510
00:25:21,386 --> 00:25:23,762
- When did that happen?
- Last week.
511
00:25:24,607 --> 00:25:26,487
Oh, darling.
512
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,840
Come on, Mum. Don't pretend
like you're not happy about it.
513
00:25:29,977 --> 00:25:32,080
No, of course I'm not.
514
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,520
No, he was a very...
515
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,109
He was a pleasant man.
516
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:38,040
- You hated him.
- No!
517
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,680
No, I just wondered if he
had enough drive for you.
518
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Well, he's pissed off
without paying the rent,
519
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,440
so I don't have that $200.
520
00:25:48,026 --> 00:25:49,266
He's a prick.
521
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,840
Well, do you want your
father to call him about that?
522
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,989
No, it's just... it's $200.
523
00:25:56,185 --> 00:25:59,040
Well, technically, your
father is Scott's landlord...
524
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,280
Mum, I've just told you I've broken up,
525
00:26:01,606 --> 00:26:03,206
and you're chasing rent.
526
00:26:04,419 --> 00:26:05,659
Sorry.
527
00:26:07,693 --> 00:26:09,453
Sure you don't want the sausages?
528
00:26:10,665 --> 00:26:12,200
Fine.
529
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,120
The voting booths were open
at eight o'clock this morning,
530
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,440
and there was an early
morning surge to vote.
531
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,493
By lunchtime, the
crowds had thinned to...
532
00:26:19,504 --> 00:26:21,008
Yes, I called his campaign office.
533
00:26:21,019 --> 00:26:22,619
They directed me to
his electorate office.
534
00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:24,069
Eight. Seven.
535
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,040
He's the treasurer of Australia.
Someone must know where he is.
536
00:26:27,113 --> 00:26:30,006
Can you at least give me the
name of the venue in Bankstown?
537
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,720
Well, we are just a quarter of an
hour away from that crucial moment,
538
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,280
so, Australia, clear away the dinner
plates and top up those drinks,
539
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,040
because as per the News At Six 7:45
guarantee, the moment is imminent.
540
00:26:43,208 --> 00:26:45,960
- So, Trevor, with 4% now counted...
- Yeah, that's better.
541
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,570
... is the Datamax system
showing any emerging trend?
542
00:26:47,581 --> 00:26:48,941
Wouldn't say solid, though, would you?
543
00:26:48,952 --> 00:26:51,949
So far, I can confirm
that the vote is down for Labor,
544
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,800
but not necessarily down evenly.
545
00:26:53,968 --> 00:26:56,880
So there is a negative
swing against the government?
546
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,960
In some places, yes. Definitely
New South Wales, but not in others.
547
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,560
In fact, their vote is up
in some surprising places.
548
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,120
So... yeah, i-it may or
it may not be a swing.
549
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,440
Well, Gerry Carroll
thinks he's identified
550
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,520
a surprising factor at
play in the 1987 campaign.
551
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,120
Gerry, can you illuminate us?
552
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:17,829
Why, of course, Dale.
553
00:27:17,950 --> 00:27:21,080
Now, for me, this election has
all been about the dental work...
554
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,720
- Is there a problem?
- What? No, no, no, no, no.
555
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,800
I'm just... I'm just,
uh... I'm just inputting.
556
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,160
You said 7:15. It's just turned 7:30.
557
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Yeah, well, the program was built
to work off national swing, so...
558
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,600
Is 7:45 at risk, Trevor?
559
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,480
OK, the way it processes
is... is... is... is...
560
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,440
D-d-d-d... Look... look,
I could explain it to you,
561
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,560
or I could just keep inputting
data and actually get us there,
562
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,985
- which is what I think you want.
- ... teeth take up most of his face.
563
00:27:41,996 --> 00:27:45,029
With what little space that's left
being dedicated to his eyebrows,
564
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,620
it leaves you in a position of not
being sure what brush to reach for.
565
00:27:48,631 --> 00:27:49,631
Uh...
566
00:27:49,642 --> 00:27:53,800
Paul Keating, on the other hand,
rarely if ever reveals a tooth,
567
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,280
for obvious reasoning.
568
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,560
Paul, I'm narrowing my focus to
the eight seats I'm listing here.
569
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,065
Could I ask you to update me as
570
00:28:00,075 --> 00:28:01,870
- soon as any of these figures come in?
- Yeah.
571
00:28:01,881 --> 00:28:05,309
And also, let me know what
happens at 7:45 on News At Six.
572
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,680
OK.
573
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,320
800 calls you made... for what?!
574
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,925
His office said they tried to call.
575
00:28:09,936 --> 00:28:11,760
It was a last-minute
change just this afternoon.
576
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,440
The results were looking
tight, so Keating wanted
577
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,400
to stay in Bankstown
instead of come to Canberra.
578
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,480
- Fuck me sideways!
- Just give me this.
579
00:28:17,874 --> 00:28:20,000
Send the link truck to Bankstown
and do it as a live cross.
580
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,360
Well, I HAVE sent a link truck,
but there's a technical issue here.
581
00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:25,160
Our OB van isn't getting return
audio. They can't work out why.
582
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,880
But right now, Keating wouldn't be
able to hear us. We need a studio.
583
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,480
Give me that thing, will you?
584
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,280
Listen, Noelene, I want
you to tell me this.
585
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,800
I want to hear it from you
586
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,880
that both our relentlessly
advertised features...
587
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,840
the 7:45 verdict and Paul
fucking Keating live...
588
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,320
has come a gutser!
589
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,600
Y-y... yeah, just...
590
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,200
There's a studio in Parliament House.
591
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,440
They use it for live crosses
every now and then, OK?
592
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,120
You're gonna have to
send Dale or Helen there.
593
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,920
- How far away is it?
- I don't know! It's Canberra!
594
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,040
It's a glorified country town.
595
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Look, I'm just gonna make some
phone calls, right? Just...
596
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,240
- Is that off?! Have I turned it off?
- Er...
597
00:28:56,468 --> 00:28:59,080
I think we'll win, but, uh...
598
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,320
it's just silly to jump in too quickly.
599
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,371
Certainly, you wouldn't be...
600
00:29:03,382 --> 00:29:05,953
So, I hear you're a bit
of a sailing man, Charlie?
601
00:29:06,999 --> 00:29:08,399
Not really.
602
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,520
... and John Mildren's got
some ground to make up. That's one...
603
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,585
You've got one minute, Trevor.
604
00:29:12,596 --> 00:29:15,436
Sorry, I presently
cannot focus my left eye.
605
00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:17,640
I think... I think... I
think that we just have to...
606
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,800
we just have to say that the
guarantee's just not gonna happen.
607
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,000
No, we can't put it like that.
608
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,840
We have to say that we're
in uncharted territory,
609
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,320
that we're on a knife's edge.
610
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,360
But it might not actually
be a knife's edge.
611
00:29:26,478 --> 00:29:28,360
- OK, we're a ship tossed at sea.
- And in 10!
612
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,977
That doesn't even make any sense.
Just take the CEO out of your head.
613
00:29:30,988 --> 00:29:33,123
- I'm not thinking of the CEO.
- Jesus Christ!
614
00:29:33,134 --> 00:29:35,640
"The result has defied the most
advanced computer technology,
615
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,360
- and all we can do is sit and wait."
- OK.
616
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,640
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we
have hit that crucial time of 7:45
617
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,120
and we have found ourselves
in uncharted territory.
618
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:49,240
They say that the news never stops.
619
00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:51,880
Dale, I think we can add to that.
620
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,200
The news can never truly
deliver a guarantee.
621
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,158
- What, is that a sledge at the promo?
- With 5% of the vote now counted,
622
00:29:58,168 --> 00:29:59,760
the results have defied
623
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,280
our state-of-the-art
Datamax computer system.
624
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,800
- So, ladies and gentlemen...
- Jesus Christ!
625
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,240
... you're just gonna
have to keep watching,
626
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,200
'cause it looks like we're in
for a roller-coaster of a night.
627
00:30:08,339 --> 00:30:11,080
There are a million people
changing the channel right now.
628
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720
I should... Should I go get Lindsay?
629
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,640
Who dropped the ball
here, mate? Was it Noelene?
630
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,920
Uh, no. Absolutely not. But sh...
I'll just see if I can find him.
631
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,680
Do that, get rid of the data bloke,
632
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,520
and tell Lindsay to get
Keating on that fuckin' desk.
633
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,628
Alright.
634
00:30:26,485 --> 00:30:27,560
Hey.
635
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,000
The News At Six didn't call it.
636
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,080
They're still just reading
individual seat results.
637
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,560
I would describe it as very boring.
638
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,840
I need you to give me
one more update on Barton
639
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,553
and, uh... one more on Rankin.
640
00:30:39,564 --> 00:30:41,798
Rankin and Barton. OK.
641
00:30:41,809 --> 00:30:43,089
And, Paddy?
642
00:30:44,873 --> 00:30:46,273
I'd say five minutes.
643
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,040
Five. Four...
644
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,920
Well, let's have a
look at some of the ALP seats
645
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,680
where the Liberal Party is leading.
646
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,720
First up, Chisholm...
Chisholm is in Victoria,
647
00:30:58,864 --> 00:31:03,240
currently held by Helen
Mayer by a margin of 0.2%.
648
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,720
The Liberal Party
candidate, Dr Wooldridge,
649
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,560
has run a very high-profile campaign.
650
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,800
Dr Wooldridge is sitting on
47.6% of the primary vote.
651
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,720
If that trajectory maintains,
652
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,800
Dr Wooldridge will probably
be the new member for Chisholm.
653
00:31:20,153 --> 00:31:21,720
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
654
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Mr Walters has been furiously
doing his sums, and...
655
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,240
and, uh, it looks as though he
has something that he wants to say.
656
00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:30,820
Geoff?
657
00:31:31,934 --> 00:31:33,574
- Yes, Paddy.
- Oh. Kay.
658
00:31:33,585 --> 00:31:36,990
- Now, thus far, we've been focused on the...
- Darling?
659
00:31:37,001 --> 00:31:39,813
... percentage of the overall
vote, but in fact, the result...
660
00:31:39,824 --> 00:31:40,828
Kay?
661
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:43,793
is always going to be dictated
by the number of seats.
662
00:31:43,804 --> 00:31:45,444
- Is he calling it?
- I think so.
663
00:31:45,455 --> 00:31:49,081
The Labor government came in
tonight with a 16-seat advantage.
664
00:31:49,092 --> 00:31:52,960
Their overall vote is clearly
down, but, Paddy, as I see it,
665
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,434
for the Labor government
to lose tonight,
666
00:31:55,445 --> 00:31:58,885
they would need to lose the five
following seats, and they are...
667
00:31:59,172 --> 00:32:02,492
Hinkler, Barton, Rankin, Bendigo and...
668
00:32:03,727 --> 00:32:04,927
Hawker.
669
00:32:05,853 --> 00:32:07,333
As it stands,
670
00:32:07,435 --> 00:32:12,170
I believe Labor can be very
confident holding all five.
671
00:32:12,993 --> 00:32:14,962
So, on the basis of that,
672
00:32:14,973 --> 00:32:19,280
I am prepared to declare
Labor, the Hawke government...
673
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,684
the winner tonight.
674
00:32:21,695 --> 00:32:23,415
... is Peter Paroulakis...
675
00:32:23,426 --> 00:32:24,906
and the Labor...
676
00:32:27,586 --> 00:32:31,666
Well, Dale, it sounds like some good
news has emerged from down there.
677
00:32:32,747 --> 00:32:35,987
You heard it here
first. Geoff Walters...
678
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,320
veteran of so many federal
elections, has declared that...
679
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,560
Ohh! Live telly, eh? It's like
juggling eggs on a roller-coaster!
680
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,880
But, mate, Charlie, I think we're
definitely well and truly on track.
681
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,360
... a convincing victory.
682
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,202
- Walters just called it for Hawke.
- ... convincing, Paddy.
683
00:32:51,213 --> 00:32:54,066
There's clearly a lot of
voter discontent out there,
684
00:32:54,077 --> 00:32:56,240
frankly, both sides, but
ultimately, it was the...
685
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,840
Lindsay? Mmm?
686
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,200
... Coalition losses in Queensland...
687
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,749
Where is Paul Keating?
688
00:33:01,235 --> 00:33:03,960
Do you think this loss will
mark the end of John Howard...
689
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,840
Dennis, where is Paul Keating?
690
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,920
Certainly not. I don't think
so. John Howard put in a...
691
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,267
We might...
692
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,720
We'll go to a break and we'll
be back with so much more,
693
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,200
including, hopefully, that
result in just a moment.
694
00:33:22,253 --> 00:33:23,813
Geoff just called it for Labor.
695
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,200
What? What? No, hang on, hang on.
696
00:33:26,211 --> 00:33:27,560
I-I don't know how you can say that
697
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,056
with so little of the West
Australian vote counted.
698
00:33:29,067 --> 00:33:31,082
Trevor, I'm gonna have to
ask you to step off camera
699
00:33:31,093 --> 00:33:32,522
for the rest of the telecast.
700
00:33:32,533 --> 00:33:34,293
Come on, mate. 30 seconds!
701
00:33:34,386 --> 00:33:36,292
I-I-I'm just... 10... 10
minutes. That's all I need.
702
00:33:36,303 --> 00:33:38,689
Dale and Helen will call
the result themselves.
703
00:33:40,819 --> 00:33:43,019
- Yep. OK.
- I'm really sorry.
704
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,068
Um...
705
00:33:46,595 --> 00:33:48,600
- I also have a Keating update.
- Yeah?
706
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,520
I think we still have
him, but not on our desk.
707
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,200
He didn't come to Canberra
this afternoon. I'm so sorry.
708
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,320
There's a link truck already
heading out to him in Bankstown...
709
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,840
OK, so then it's just a cross?
710
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,035
Yes, but unfortunately not with you.
711
00:33:59,046 --> 00:34:02,029
Our OB van is having issues with
return audio. We need a studio.
712
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,080
And the closest studio is
out in Parliament House.
713
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,520
OK, well, that's... that's...
that's 10 minutes. We can do that.
714
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,240
- No. No. Hang on, hang on...
- I can get us there in 10.
715
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:11,040
Including leaving here and setting
up is probably more like 20,
716
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,040
and Charlie's demanding that
he be interviewed right now.
717
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,840
You get me Charlie Tate
on the phone right now!
718
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,360
- I don't have his number!
- Here we go!
719
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,633
- I don't care what he thinks.
- Helen...
720
00:34:17,644 --> 00:34:19,015
Call Parliament, tell them we're using
721
00:34:19,025 --> 00:34:20,400
the studio. We'll be there right now.
722
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,280
If we don't have a Keating
interview, then all we've got
723
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,160
is a failed guarantee and some
fucking jokes about Hawke's teeth!
724
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,120
Go, go! As fast as you possibly can!
725
00:34:28,706 --> 00:34:32,066
Welcome back to the national
tally room in Canberra,
726
00:34:32,077 --> 00:34:36,717
where a sense of jubilation has taken
root amongst the Labor supporters
727
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,120
with the breaking news
728
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,000
that Bob Hawke will be re-elected
prime minister of Australia
729
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,240
for a historic third term.
730
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,360
Um, head out and turn left.
731
00:34:49,612 --> 00:34:51,212
What are your celebration plans now?
732
00:34:51,223 --> 00:34:52,983
Oh, uh, several cups of tea.
733
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,000
This is gonna be the highlight
of the telecast, trust me.
734
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,320
- 30 seconds!
- So, um,
735
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,720
are you just imagining more
comedic observations or...?
736
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:06,440
Just ask me the same questions
you'd ask a political analyst
737
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,920
and let me answer.
738
00:35:08,946 --> 00:35:10,687
Don't worry about being funny.
739
00:35:11,053 --> 00:35:12,142
Thanks.
740
00:35:12,153 --> 00:35:13,873
- And here we go.
- Hey.
741
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:18,013
- What's that?
- It's straight vodka.
742
00:35:18,155 --> 00:35:19,680
I haven't had a sip of water all night.
743
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,360
Seven! Six!
744
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,560
Uh, my face goes red with spirits.
745
00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:25,240
You're wearing make-up.
746
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,440
A victorious Bob Hawke
there in Melbourne
747
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,360
after a third election victory,
748
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,680
and with me now is noted
political analyst Mr Gerry Carroll.
749
00:35:33,919 --> 00:35:36,119
- So, Gerry...
- Mmm?
750
00:35:36,130 --> 00:35:38,280
You told me that Keating was on his way.
751
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,680
Er, Charlie... it'll be on in a second.
752
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,160
It'll be well worth the wait.
Keating will put on a good show.
753
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,720
You just sit tight.
754
00:35:45,018 --> 00:35:46,520
Uh, well, Dale,
755
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,920
I think Johnny will probably move
towards his natural calling in life,
756
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,285
which has always been
suburban solicitor...
757
00:35:52,296 --> 00:35:54,800
- Right.
- ... and I think we should be happy for him.
758
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,600
No, no, no, no, no. Sorry,
I meant the next one. The next one.
759
00:35:58,007 --> 00:35:59,487
Sorry!
760
00:36:05,286 --> 00:36:07,869
So, ultimately, this result
comes as no surprise to you?
761
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,160
Oh, no.
762
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,800
Look, Dale, I have my very
own election barometer,
763
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,120
and it works every time.
764
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,360
What you do is you look at the
number one sportsman in that country
765
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,600
and you ask yourself,
who would they vote for?
766
00:36:19,868 --> 00:36:24,091
Here in 1987, it's clearly
Wimbledon champ Pat Cash,
767
00:36:24,102 --> 00:36:25,880
And if you imagine Mr Cash sitting there
768
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,160
weighing up Hawke versus Howard...
769
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,909
well, there's really no question.
770
00:36:31,173 --> 00:36:32,880
I like this. This is a better tone.
771
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,240
- Yeah, it's not bad, is it?
- Yeah. Yeah.
772
00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:37,440
Absolutely. Absolutely agree.
773
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,320
In 1954, he skols two and
a half pints of beer...
774
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,200
- OK.
- Put that on that shit background.
775
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,920
- Beg your pardon?
- Can you help me?
776
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,360
- What? Oh. Yes.
- Go on the other side.
777
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,703
Um... Keating's eyeline is to the
screen, not to the camera, so...
778
00:37:03,714 --> 00:37:05,159
- Just match that?
- Uh-huh.
779
00:37:05,170 --> 00:37:07,400
Trig, could you get in
Keating's position, please?
780
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,120
- What time is it now?
- Uh, 20:13.
781
00:37:11,131 --> 00:37:13,320
- 20:13. OK.
- It's still good. It's still good.
782
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,560
OK.
783
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,640
Now, did you say he lost
votes in his own electorate?
784
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,160
Uh, yes. 5%.
785
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,520
5%. OK, great. Um, good.
786
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,440
And, Gerry, if you had to name
one highlight from tonight?
787
00:37:25,832 --> 00:37:27,570
Well, apart from the biscuits, Dale,
788
00:37:27,581 --> 00:37:30,400
I think my highlight was
learning a few brand-new words.
789
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,000
My favourite being 'scrutineer'.
790
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,080
Well, a potential new
career for you, Gerry?
791
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,640
Well, look, all I know about
it, Dale, is that they scrute,
792
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,600
and God knows... I've always
been partial to a quick scrute.
793
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,400
Well, famously so.
794
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,160
Right now, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a News At Six exclusive.
795
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,320
We are going to cross to Helen Norville,
796
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,640
who will be speaking to
our re-elected treasurer...
797
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,240
- You alright?
- Yeah, I'm standing by.
798
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:53,880
- OK.
- You're on in five.
799
00:37:54,073 --> 00:37:55,509
Four.
800
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,840
Three.
801
00:38:02,359 --> 00:38:05,919
He's one of the most bold and
influential men in the country
802
00:38:06,084 --> 00:38:09,488
and, at 43, many predict
our next prime minister.
803
00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:11,840
Joining me from Bankstown in Sydney,
804
00:38:12,046 --> 00:38:14,326
please welcome Treasurer Paul Keating.
805
00:38:15,466 --> 00:38:17,575
Yeah! Yes! Yes!
806
00:38:17,586 --> 00:38:18,631
- You beauty.
- Bob Hawke
807
00:38:18,642 --> 00:38:21,440
thinks that he'll be here
for the next three years at least.
808
00:38:21,501 --> 00:38:23,021
Are you happy to wait?
809
00:38:23,032 --> 00:38:26,600
Oh, yes, I... When... when
Bob is good and ready to go...
810
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,080
- All those phone calls.
- Yeah.
811
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,111
- They paid off, mate.
- Yeah.
812
00:38:29,122 --> 00:38:30,960
... those who fancy
ourselves as his successor
813
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,160
then get an opportunity
to propose ourselves
814
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,000
to the government, to the caucus.
815
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,640
But that's a matter for our party
and, uh, it'll all occur in its time.
816
00:38:39,895 --> 00:38:43,240
Opposition Leader John Howard had
to contend with a lot of disunity.
817
00:38:43,410 --> 00:38:48,200
You enjoy total party unity, but
your personal vote was down 5%.
818
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,240
- She is grilling him.
- Do you feel that you won tonight by default?
819
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:53,327
I think there's a lot of
rewriting history going on today.
820
00:38:53,338 --> 00:38:55,498
- She looks great.
- The government won this election.
821
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,640
I think Mr Howard debased
the political currency.
822
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,920
I mean, I think he ran
823
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,920
on the most disreputable and
irresponsible financial policy
824
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,360
of any leader in this
country in the last 20 years
825
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,760
and he deserved the
loss that he's taken.
826
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,800
And so I'd guess that you
would prefer John Howard
827
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,240
to stay on as Opposition Leader
828
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:15,720
as opposed to returning the
leadership to Andrew Peacock?
829
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:18,760
Oh, she's going for it.
She's going for it. Good girl.
830
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,880
But as far as Peacock's concerned,
831
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,400
I mean, let me put the
rhetorical question,
832
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,320
can a souffle rise twice?
833
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,120
That's the quote! That's our quote!
834
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,080
Yeah, I don't know, boys, is it just me
835
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,520
or is... she just a hair
too... uh... aggressive?
836
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:37,240
Yeah. Just a hair.
837
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:38,560
Maybe.
838
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,691
... some substantial good news.
839
00:39:39,702 --> 00:39:42,542
We're gonna see inflation
continuing to abate.
840
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,000
Alright.
841
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,480
A disappointed but stoic
John Howard conceded that his...
842
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,040
I'll see you soon?
843
00:39:48,213 --> 00:39:49,435
- Yes.
- Mwah.
844
00:39:49,446 --> 00:39:51,760
- Drive safely.
- Yep. Always do.
845
00:39:54,173 --> 00:39:55,880
- Bye.
- Bye.
846
00:39:55,891 --> 00:39:59,520
And whatever differences
that divide us politically,
847
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,240
and they are important differences
848
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,120
and they will remain
important differences,
849
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,680
those things that
unite us as Australians
850
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,400
are much greater and more enduring
than those things that divide us.
851
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,880
Mr Howard congratulated Mr Hawke...
852
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,600
- Can I let you in on something?
- Yeah.
853
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,320
I'm not registered to
vote in this country.
854
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,880
Really?
855
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,920
No... No, no, seriously.
856
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,600
I've just hosted your national election
857
00:41:05,892 --> 00:41:07,058
and I can't even vote.
858
00:41:07,069 --> 00:41:09,829
I don't know whether I
should be ashamed or proud of that.
859
00:41:12,633 --> 00:41:14,180
- You did, obviously.
- Yeah.
860
00:41:14,191 --> 00:41:16,520
- Mmm.
- Yeah.
861
00:41:18,643 --> 00:41:20,382
- You and Helen are living together.
- Yeah.
862
00:41:20,393 --> 00:41:24,153
Yeah, living in sin, as my mother
likes to point out.
863
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,240
Are you thinking of changing that?
864
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,124
Um... we haven't
really discussed it yet.
865
00:41:33,746 --> 00:41:36,226
- You've been together a while.
- Yeah. A year.
866
00:41:38,107 --> 00:41:39,707
Maybe you're not the marrying type.
867
00:41:40,882 --> 00:41:42,170
Well...
868
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,360
Wait, what does that mean?
869
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,720
I don't know, you strike me as a bit...
870
00:41:48,806 --> 00:41:50,566
open to possibilities.
871
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,920
Uh, it's a compliment.
872
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,120
The best people are.
873
00:42:01,766 --> 00:42:03,086
I am.
874
00:42:08,313 --> 00:42:09,793
Mmm.
875
00:42:22,979 --> 00:42:24,760
- Sorry, maybe I am...
- Alright.
876
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,000
I am a pretty boring person.
877
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,200
I don't think so.
878
00:42:30,246 --> 00:42:31,646
Hi.
879
00:42:31,877 --> 00:42:34,450
- Ah. Here she is!
- Hello, hello!
880
00:42:34,461 --> 00:42:35,781
- Oh!
- Oh!
881
00:42:35,792 --> 00:42:37,869
- God, I'm glad that's over.
- Hey. You were brilliant.
882
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,360
- Thank you.
- Brilliant.
883
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,280
He talked so much that I only got
through a third of my questions.
884
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,320
- Was it OK really?
- You were great. Yeah.
885
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,176
- Mwah.
- Drink?
886
00:42:46,187 --> 00:42:47,340
- Um...
- You must be tired.
887
00:42:47,351 --> 00:42:48,909
- Uh, no, I'll take a double.
- Yeah?
888
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,960
Yeah. Uh, vodka soda, please.
889
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,880
- Sure.
- Hoo!
890
00:43:05,031 --> 00:43:06,520
Oh, my God!
891
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,360
What time is, um... is checkout?
892
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,120
Uh... 10, I think.
893
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,720
Hey, I think Gerry just
tried to proposition me.
894
00:43:20,973 --> 00:43:21,975
What?
895
00:43:21,986 --> 00:43:26,066
Well, I could be wrong, but it
definitely... seemed like it.
896
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,000
What... what, um... what happened?
897
00:43:36,139 --> 00:43:37,539
Nothing.
898
00:43:51,359 --> 00:43:52,759
Were you interested?
899
00:43:55,513 --> 00:43:56,753
No.
900
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:59,840
Are you sure?
901
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:02,560
Yes.
902
00:44:04,173 --> 00:44:05,773
'Cause he would make sense.
903
00:44:13,686 --> 00:44:15,810
I mean, he... he'd be, um...
904
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,440
he'd be discreet and...
905
00:44:22,906 --> 00:44:24,706
and private, and...
906
00:44:24,867 --> 00:44:28,507
his wife's a very powerful woman, so...
907
00:44:30,266 --> 00:44:31,866
he... he would be...
908
00:44:33,493 --> 00:44:35,173
a logical option.
909
00:44:37,793 --> 00:44:39,313
I don't want that option.
910
00:44:41,867 --> 00:44:43,227
Do you?
911
00:44:44,733 --> 00:44:45,808
No.
912
00:44:47,927 --> 00:44:50,447
No, I... I don't.
913
00:44:50,553 --> 00:44:51,833
I want...
914
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,760
I want just us. I want just...
915
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,960
just you and me.
916
00:45:00,020 --> 00:45:01,380
So do I.
917
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,000
But I want you to keep
talking to me about it.
918
00:45:11,618 --> 00:45:13,480
- I don't need to.
- But if anything changes...
919
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,080
- It's not gonna change.
- But if it... if it does...
920
00:45:17,513 --> 00:45:18,833
It won't.
921
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,880
I'm expecting the call in
the next couple of minutes.
922
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,560
Do not touch the phones.
923
00:46:15,287 --> 00:46:16,523
- We got numbers?
- Not yet.
924
00:46:16,533 --> 00:46:19,040
- Should be any minute.
- Ah.
925
00:46:19,547 --> 00:46:20,880
- Are the numbers in?
- Should be soon.
926
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,200
We don't have to sit around
just waiting for them.
927
00:46:29,940 --> 00:46:31,157
Yep.
928
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:33,800
Yep.
929
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,480
Yep. Good. Right. Yep.
930
00:46:38,826 --> 00:46:40,106
Thank you.
931
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:44,480
Lindsay?
932
00:46:44,625 --> 00:46:48,280
No, it was bloody Wardrobe going on
about those bloody sports jackets!
933
00:46:48,493 --> 00:46:50,653
What's wrong with them? They're great.
934
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,600
Geoff Walters speaking.
935
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,325
Yes.
936
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:14,440
Yes. Right.
937
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,480
Of course. Yes.
938
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,320
Yes?
939
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:33,907
Right.
940
00:47:34,573 --> 00:47:36,253
Yep. Good-o.
941
00:47:36,693 --> 00:47:38,053
Yep.
942
00:47:39,013 --> 00:47:41,253
Yeah, thank you!
943
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:46,840
Hey.
944
00:47:54,787 --> 00:47:56,227
Well, it, uh...
945
00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:59,760
Uh...
946
00:48:01,906 --> 00:48:03,366
1.9 million.
947
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,440
We won. We thrashed Geoff!
948
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,920
Get about it!
949
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,320
Jean, you crack open the
piss! The special stuff!
950
00:48:15,575 --> 00:48:18,520
- Come on, hey? Get about it!
- Well done, you! Well done...
951
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,480
Huzzah!
952
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,360
Hey, Noels. Hey. Could I
ask you to help me with a...
953
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:25,920
- Yeah, of course... bit?
- Yep?
954
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,440
Ha! Yes!
955
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,360
OK. Whoo, whoo, whoo.
956
00:48:33,513 --> 00:48:37,913
They said we... collapsed at 7:45.
957
00:48:38,341 --> 00:48:39,779
Never recovered.
958
00:48:39,859 --> 00:48:42,699
That stupid bloody
News At Six guarantee.
959
00:48:44,348 --> 00:48:46,108
A cheap trick.
960
00:48:46,119 --> 00:48:48,159
Maybe that's what
people want these days.
961
00:48:49,786 --> 00:48:51,786
Cheap tricks.
962
00:48:51,849 --> 00:48:53,200
Clowns.
963
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,720
And that network has
spent an absolute fortune
964
00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:59,560
on utterly false advertising.
965
00:48:59,795 --> 00:49:03,880
Helen's being promoted as
this... woman of gravitas.
966
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,000
She's far from that. Think
what we know about her.
967
00:49:07,011 --> 00:49:09,173
- Huh!
- And from what I hear,
968
00:49:09,183 --> 00:49:10,920
that's the tip of the iceberg.
969
00:49:12,969 --> 00:49:17,000
You've maintained a dignified silence.
970
00:49:17,106 --> 00:49:20,226
It's time the truth about her emerged.
971
00:49:25,507 --> 00:49:28,547
You know... you know... you know...
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
972
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,240
Wh-what it was was
it was the guarantee.
973
00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:33,160
Mate, we didn't even have to deliver!
974
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,520
It was just the promise of it.
975
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,520
It was a stroke of genius,
mate. Well done, you.
976
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,560
Yeah, I actually think
Gerry was the main drawcard.
977
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,773
He was good. He was good, wasn't
he? Surprisingly to some people.
978
00:49:41,784 --> 00:49:44,796
But, you know, I like to think
the, um... the whole team...
979
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,320
You were right about
Dale. He's getting there.
980
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,080
It's just, uh...
981
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,280
Helen.
982
00:49:53,380 --> 00:49:54,446
Yes?
983
00:49:54,459 --> 00:49:57,979
Mate, she was great under Geoff.
It's just, as a headliner...
984
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,320
I don't know what it is. I
think she's just sort of...
985
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,920
too dominant over Dale and
she's really aggressive and...
986
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,920
I reckon we give her a couple
of months to pull it in.
987
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,840
If she can't...
988
00:50:09,295 --> 00:50:11,120
we talk replacements.
989
00:50:11,301 --> 00:50:12,560
Sure.
990
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,102
Sure. No complaints this end on that.
991
00:50:14,113 --> 00:50:17,760
But, you know, it could be
a little bit tricky. They, uh...
992
00:50:18,052 --> 00:50:19,372
they are a couple.
993
00:50:19,383 --> 00:50:21,720
Yeah, it's not my problem.
994
00:50:22,054 --> 00:50:25,160
No. Of course it's not. It's theirs.
995
00:50:25,297 --> 00:50:27,360
Good plan. Very good plan.
996
00:50:27,503 --> 00:50:30,040
Well, happy days. And well
done... well done again...
997
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:47,870
I mean, did he show any
humility at all, or...?
998
00:50:47,881 --> 00:50:51,309
Well, you know, he was...
he was Charlie.
999
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,360
But, um, he did say
congratulations. So...
1000
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:55,872
- Ah.
- Well, that was nice of him.
1001
00:50:55,883 --> 00:50:58,843
I think... I think a
toast is called for. Uh...
1002
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,840
To the person who will
appreciate our victory the most.
1003
00:51:03,057 --> 00:51:05,040
Here's to Geoff Walters.
1004
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,480
He can blow it out his arse!

Dennis asked me today
if we were a couple.
1007
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,620
What did you say?
1008
00:51:53,631 --> 00:51:57,288
If you don't see us having a
future together, just tell me.
1009
00:51:57,299 --> 00:51:59,779
You know what's at stake
for me if we tell the office!
1010
00:51:59,906 --> 00:52:01,986
Breaking news from

00:52:09,682 --> 00:52:12,232
A civilian was able
to walk into a shop...
1015
00:52:12,243 --> 00:52:14,589
- Ohh!
- ... on High Street and walk out
1016
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,640
with a military-grade
weapon made for war zones!
1017
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,348
- Am I cutting around that or...?
- No. I mean, we should keep it.
1018
00:52:20,359 --> 00:52:22,319
Run the bloody things,
then. With a big graphic.
1019
00:52:22,330 --> 00:52:23,815
- "First on the scene."
- Oh!
1020
00:52:23,826 --> 00:52:25,666
If it bleeds, it leads.
1021
00:52:25,677 --> 00:52:27,677
And the approach taken
by the network in question
1022
00:52:27,688 --> 00:52:29,556
represents a troubling new low.
1023
00:52:29,567 --> 00:52:31,287
Mostly they're complaints about you!
