Rachel: I met with
the U.S. Secretary of State,

and he requested permission

to establish another defense
base on our soil.

That base would fall
under your native title lands.

Alex: So, this is why
I'm here, is it?

To help you sell this
to my mob.

You and I spoke about making
a real difference in Winton.

This is your opportunity

to get a lot more
than a medical center.

Kevin: She really needs
our support.

Her department have commissioned
some broader polling

and for the first time,

Laurie Martin is ahead
as preferred prime minister.

We're facing something big,
so we gotta think big.

Damien: These negotiations

pose a threat
to national security.

What is it about the safety
of this country

that the Prime Minister
doesn't understand?

It's not negotiable.

Gotta look after our country
and our culture.

I promise.

The young woman died as a result
of an asthma attack.

Young woman: It isn't true
what he said about Marcie.

I was with her,
and I filmed it all.

Final signature.

Done.

Well, out it goes

Jonathan:
Given the bill's importance,

we can look forward
to the full treatment.

First, the drones
from the PM's department

will convert the whole wishlist
into proper legalese.

That usually takes
a few hundred years.

But this is different
and they'll put in all-nighters

to get it done.

Then it's off
to the other departments.

Foreign Affairs will query
everything before they sign off,

right down to fistfights
over punctuation.

And you've got some big hitters.

They don't come bigger than
the dick-swingers at Finance.

Aside from, of course, Defense,

who'll want to make
their mark on it.

Cartwright will have his say
at Indigenous Affairs.

Every department has its agenda.

Meanwhile, you keep up with
the exhilarating business

of running the country.

Man: ...nanny state...

Jonathan: And after all that,
everyone's had their say,

then it goes to Cabinet
to get sign-off from the PM.

And finally you're
at the pointy end.

How do you think
she's gonna go?

Oh, I just hope that
she's not too intimidated.

For your sake.

Of course she'll

She's the only black woman

of a nation
founded by white men.

Do you know that a few weeks
after the arrival,

the 800

and the fleet sailors waited

Their screams are said

♪♪

When I go into the party room,
I think of them.

That night
made whores of us all,

and we're still trying to get
some fucking respect.

We might as well give up
the election right now!

Any specific objections,
Damien?

Well, I just think
it's a very sad day

when I need to remind
a fellow Queenslander

and the room in general
that in order to win

an election, you must win
the Sunshine State.

Surely we've got
enough battles going on

without starting
a deliberate war

with our colleagues
in the Queensland government.

Any specific objections,
Damien?

Well, where do I start?

Well, how about
the impossible task

of telling the electorate
that of all the people,

white and black
in the entire region,

the native title holders
are the only ones

that are singled out
for special treatment.

What special treatment?

This is a negotiation on the
fair use of native title lands.

When a small minority
gets the benefits

of something,
then that's special treatment

when everyone else
has to wait in line.

This is complete and utter
bullshit, as usual, Damien.

The lands are already
under native title.

If we don't negotiate, we'll be
tied up in the courts for years.

And it is a lifeline
for the whole region.

When this legislation
passes the Senate,

which the dickheads
on the other side of the aisle

will have to agree to
and we've delivered on defense,

you will still be looking for
your mythical hard-right base

on Google Maps.
-Don't say I didn't warn you.

Which, if indeed you find it,

I can assure you stops very hard
at the Queensland border.

Yes, Kevin.

Uh...it's reasonable
to ask questions.

It's a very complex deal
the Senator has negotiated.

It's a hard sell,
but a little

more bulletproofing
wouldn't hurt.

In particular
the financial split.

The U.S. can make
a larger contribution,

but I do think the country
needs to be reassured

that any recompense
isn't entirely

at the expense
of the rest of them.

And hopefully that will help
bring down the temperature.

You signed off on this, Kevin.

In principle,
but there's room for maneuver.

No. Fair point.
Good compromise.

Alex, I'd like you to liaise
with Kevin,

and we'll refine
those amendments.

Next item of business.

Man 2: Up next,
offshore petroleum

and greenhouse gas
amendment bill.

I know this is thrilling stuff,
people,

but if you could just stay off
your phones for 10 minutes,

we'll drive right through it.

Alex:
That was a nightmare.

He has got his sights
on the leadership.

And Kevin Cartwright wants
more work on the financials.

But he's already
signed off.In principle, apparently.

I'd say he's trying to head off
a party room revolt.

Get me
an appointment with him.

How did you go
with the girl?

With respect, Senator,

I'd be focusing
on the legislation now.

I'm focused.

I'm sleep deprived
and hormonal, but I'm focused.

Now, with respect, can you go
get your ass on the phone?

♪♪

Okay.

I think her name
is Jess Clarke.

I checked out
Marcie's social media,

and there are plenty of photos
with her and this same girl.

Then I tracked down
Jess's mother,

and she confirmed
that Jess was arrested

the same night
as Marcie.

She hasn't heard
from her since.

Jillian:
There's no mention anywhere

of a detainee escaping.

Well, get on to it.

It takes time.

Sorry, guys.

And welcome to "RN Breakfast."

Fran Kelly with you.

And this morning, reports
of a leaked internal poll

showing the Government
is trailing the Opposition

on a two-party preferred basis

for the first time
in more than three years.

Also a first, Laurie Martin
overtakes Rachel Anderson

as preferred prime minister.
-Fuck!

These numbers must be a concern

Could we have another leadership
spill on our hands?

Miranda Owens

But this leaked online poll has
other disturbing implications

for the Government, too.

And a strong language warning
here for all you listeners.

When asked to describe

appeared a number of times --

filthy slut, disgusting cow,
