Something about us 26 00:00:59,227 --> 00:01:01,347 being one of this government's success stories. 27 00:01:01,507 --> 00:01:02,947 That was good, wasn't it? 28 00:01:03,147 --> 00:01:05,948 I don't place too much stock in newspaper articles though. 29 00:01:06,148 --> 00:01:08,269 But it makes up for that other one. What other one? 30 00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:10,629 Nothing. Is this about the Western bypass? 31 00:01:10,829 --> 00:01:13,030 I don't know. A project we had practically nothing to do with 32 00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:14,750 and found our logo splashed all over it? 33 00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:17,311 I didn't want to ruin your day.

Yup. 39 00:01:29,633 --> 00:01:32,314 It just went on and on and... Thanks, Amy. Got it. 40 00:01:32,514 --> 00:01:34,474 Do you want a copy? No, thanks! 41 00:01:34,675 --> 00:01:38,515 This is so unfair. A couple of back-handers. 42 00:01:38,715 --> 00:01:41,876 No, he went on and on.

Country? 61 00:02:25,206 --> 00:02:26,526 The one you've just built. 62 00:02:26,726 --> 00:02:29,367 We haven't built anything. We're just overseeing final stages. 63 00:02:29,527 --> 00:02:31,327 The umbrella organisation. 64 00:02:31,527 --> 00:02:33,728 Our logo's all over the bit up the side. 65 00:02:33,928 --> 00:02:35,248 The Pacific Highway? Doesn't matter. 66 00:02:35,448 --> 00:02:37,969 Sure. What I'm hearing is, 67 00:02:38,129 --> 00:02:39,689 there could be some sort of delay. 68 00:02:39,889 --> 00:02:42,930 There's always delays. This could jeopardise my launch. 69 00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:45,250 Why are we launching a road? 70 00:02:45,450 --> 00:02:47,691 It's not just a road, this is a link. 71 00:02:47,891 --> 00:02:51,492 It's the final link in the loop that brings it around. 72 00:02:51,652 --> 00:02:53,852 This links the whole... 73 00:02:54,052 --> 00:02:57,533 Are you talking about AusLink or national Roads to Recovery? 74 00:02:57,693 --> 00:02:59,574 I might be. That's not the point. 75 00:02:59,774 --> 00:03:02,134 The point is, I've got State and federal ministers pencilled in, 76 00:03:02,294 --> 00:03:03,615 a national anthem to organise. 77 00:03:03,815 --> 00:03:07,655 It's not the grand final. I want to know why there's a delay. 78 00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:10,616 Katie, can you grab Nat for a second? 79 00:03:10,816 --> 00:03:12,537 I'll send an e-alert to her calendar. 80 00:03:12,697 --> 00:03:14,097 No, just stand up and call her. 81 00:03:14,257 --> 00:03:16,257 After the e-alert? 82 00:03:16,417 --> 00:03:17,738 Nat? 83 00:03:17,898 --> 00:03:20,218 This is bullshit. 84 00:03:23,179 --> 00:03:25,379 Turns out there may well be a delay. 85 00:03:25,579 --> 00:03:28,740 Is this structural? Is this about the work with the resurfacing? 86 00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:30,301 No, it's to do with the art. 87 00:03:30,501 --> 00:03:33,141 Art? Are we still talking about the highway? 88 00:03:33,301 --> 00:03:34,702 Well, the final stretch of it. 89 00:03:34,902 --> 00:03:37,622 Apparently, the plan was to mark the project's completion 90 00:03:37,822 --> 00:03:40,583 with a series of iconic roadside installations. 91 00:03:40,743 --> 00:03:42,063 Here's a thought - 92 00:03:42,263 --> 00:03:44,024 how about we mark the completion of the project 93 00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:46,024 by just completing the project? They've done it before. 94 00:03:46,224 --> 00:03:48,105 Apparently, it was very successful. Who did it before? 95 00:03:48,305 --> 00:03:49,785 ConnectEast. They built a motorway in Melbourne. 96 00:03:49,985 --> 00:03:52,386 I think ConnectEast almost went broke doing that. 97 00:03:52,546 --> 00:03:54,386 But the art was very successful. 98 00:03:54,586 --> 00:03:57,187 What sort of art is it? Giant statues. 99 00:03:57,387 --> 00:03:59,787 And there's a big mural. That's got nothing to do with us. 100 00:03:59,987 --> 00:04:01,668 No, it was a Federal Arts initiative. 101 00:04:01,868 --> 00:04:04,548 The Federal Arts Minister cleared it with the State Roads Minister, 102 00:04:04,748 --> 00:04:06,669 but they both forgot to tell the Federal Transport Minister. 103 00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:09,149 You're kidding me? We've been called to help sort it out. 104 00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:10,790 What exactly is the problem? Problems. 105 00:04:10,990 --> 00:04:12,870 Several of the artworks are causing issues. 106 00:04:13,070 --> 00:04:15,191 How many are there? Artworks or problems? 107 00:04:15,391 --> 00:04:17,271 Both. 15 artworks have been commissioned. 108 00:04:17,431 --> 00:04:18,751 And there's six problems. 109 00:04:18,911 --> 00:04:20,512 So six artworks have problems? 110 00:04:20,712 --> 00:04:22,672 Five - one of them has two problems. 111 00:04:22,872 --> 00:04:24,713 Rhonda's planning a megalaunch for this thing. I know. 112 00:04:24,873 --> 00:04:26,193 I got sent a draft schedule. 113 00:04:26,393 --> 00:04:27,954 Do we know who's singing the national anthem? 114 00:04:28,154 --> 00:04:29,914 Look into it. Find out what the problems are. 115 00:04:30,114 --> 00:04:31,754 I want it sorted. OK. 116 00:04:31,954 --> 00:04:33,995 Do you have a physio appointment at 6:30? 117 00:04:34,195 --> 00:04:38,036 Yeah, why? I just got it sent to my calendar. 118 00:04:38,236 --> 00:04:40,476 Now I don't know how to switch it off when it rings. 119 00:04:40,676 --> 00:04:42,357 Don't you just swipe it? Or tap it. 120 00:04:42,557 --> 00:04:44,357 I did that, and I keep getting the weather out. 121 00:04:44,557 --> 00:04:45,838 Morning. Hi, Jim. 122 00:04:46,038 --> 00:04:47,318 Katie. Jim. 123 00:04:47,518 --> 00:04:49,558 I got a briefing on this road launch. 124 00:04:49,758 --> 00:04:51,879 Yeah. Big whispers - 125 00:04:52,039 --> 00:04:54,519 the PM has agreed to... (Honk-honk!) 126 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,040 That's big news. Do you know exactly what the achievement is 127 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,521 that we're celebrating? 128 00:04:59,721 --> 00:05:02,441 That we've finally got a road around Australia. 129 00:05:02,601 --> 00:05:04,042 But we've had that for 40 years. 130 00:05:04,202 --> 00:05:05,842 That it's divided? 131 00:05:06,042 --> 00:05:07,802 Yeah, but bits of it aren't divided. 132 00:05:08,003 --> 00:05:10,643 Is it that we've got the ripple strips down the side? 133 00:05:10,843 --> 00:05:13,284 Do they now go all the way? I don't know that they... 134 00:05:13,484 --> 00:05:15,764 Anyway, a big day for Australia, thanks to you and the team. 135 00:05:15,964 --> 00:05:17,845 We've had very little to do with this project. 136 00:05:18,045 --> 00:05:20,645 Oh, come on! Our logo's all over it. 137 00:05:20,845 --> 00:05:23,246 Let's celebrate a successful outcome. 138 00:05:23,446 --> 00:05:26,047 On that, we've heard there might be a minor delay. 139 00:05:26,247 --> 00:05:27,527 Unions? Council? No. No. 140 00:05:27,727 --> 00:05:29,247 Environment! No, art. 141 00:05:29,447 --> 00:05:33,048 Oh! In order to commemorate this final stretch of... 142 00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:34,568 ..whatever, 143 00:05:34,769 --> 00:05:37,609 apparently, there's a whole bunch of roadside art going in. 144 00:05:37,809 --> 00:05:39,850 When did you agree to this? We didn't agree to anything. 145 00:05:40,050 --> 00:05:41,850 Have you got it under control? We're looking into it. 146 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:45,971 Alright, good man. That's another reason I came down. 147 00:05:46,171 --> 00:05:48,372 Mumbai. What about it? 148 00:05:48,572 --> 00:05:49,852 Turns out it's our sister city. And? 149 00:05:50,052 --> 00:05:51,372 They want to send a delegation down 150 00:05:51,572 --> 00:05:53,093 to get a glimpse of what we're doing. 151 00:05:53,293 --> 00:05:55,613 What for? They're thinking of setting up 152 00:05:55,813 --> 00:05:57,654 a nation-building authority of their own. 153 00:05:57,814 --> 00:05:59,134 And they want to learn from us? 154 00:05:59,294 --> 00:06:00,974 Hey, don't act so surprised. 155 00:06:01,174 --> 00:06:03,415 We're getting a lot of attention around the world. 156 00:06:03,615 --> 00:06:05,375 Anyway, you couldn't take them for a couple hours? 157 00:06:05,575 --> 00:06:07,336 Jim... It's just a goodwill visit. 158 00:06:07,536 --> 00:06:08,936 Lunch, give them a squiz around the office, 159 00:06:09,096 --> 00:06:10,417 then ship them off to a casino. 160 00:06:10,617 --> 00:06:13,417 We're kind of snowed under. Katie! Diary. 161 00:06:13,577 --> 00:06:16,738 I already said you would. 162 00:06:16,938 --> 00:06:19,859 There's an Indian delegation. When are they coming? 163 00:06:20,019 --> 00:06:23,019 Oh, Thursday, midday. 164 00:06:23,179 --> 00:06:24,500 I'll pop it into your calendar. 165 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:26,900 It's only three days away, so I'll make it an alert. 166 00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,701 (Bleep-bloop!) Oh, and do you have a physio appointment? 167 00:06:29,901 --> 00:06:32,221 Yes, I do. Nat just told me. 168 00:06:33,382 --> 00:06:34,902 It's still not on this. 169 00:06:37,823 --> 00:06:41,784 What's that called? Road to Nowhere. 170 00:06:41,984 --> 00:06:45,064 Well, that's just dangerous. Yeah. It's been cancelled. 171 00:06:45,264 --> 00:06:48,865 So the rabbit's OK, and the bally thing? Yeah, it's fine. 172 00:06:49,065 --> 00:06:50,946 This is the first installation that's a problem. 173 00:06:51,106 --> 00:06:52,506 So it's a fake truck stop? 174 00:06:52,706 --> 00:06:55,067 A brilliant example of spatial distortionism. 175 00:06:55,267 --> 00:06:56,547 Giving something a wanky description 176 00:06:56,747 --> 00:06:58,587 doesn't make it more important. It's a three-quarter scale model 177 00:06:58,787 --> 00:07:00,548 of a truck stop. And why? 178 00:07:00,748 --> 00:07:02,628 In order to challenge our notions of consumerism 179 00:07:02,828 --> 00:07:04,269 and the predation of... Last warning. 180 00:07:04,429 --> 00:07:05,749 So what's the problem? 181 00:07:05,949 --> 00:07:08,990 Its position. Turns out there's a real truck stop, fast-food outlet 182 00:07:09,190 --> 00:07:10,550 about 5Ks down the road. So? 183 00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:12,230 The owners are worried people might think 184 00:07:12,431 --> 00:07:14,631 their truck stop is also fake, and not go in. 185 00:07:14,831 --> 00:07:16,711 They could lose business. Oh, please! 186 00:07:16,912 --> 00:07:18,832 Just checking - did your alarm go off? No. 187 00:07:19,032 --> 00:07:21,513 It should have. I put a calendar entry in. 188 00:07:21,713 --> 00:07:24,233 What does 'T at HPS mean?' Talk at Hillside Primary School. 189 00:07:24,433 --> 00:07:26,594 The whole thing wouldn't fit, so I had to use initials. 190 00:07:26,794 --> 00:07:28,994 It used to fit in my old diary. Is this now? 191 00:07:29,194 --> 00:07:31,355 No. It's in an hour. What? 192 00:07:31,555 --> 00:07:34,475 Would you prefer a two-hour warning? I'm in the middle... 193 00:07:34,636 --> 00:07:35,956 Can we get out of this? 194 00:07:36,156 --> 00:07:38,756 Can you call and say there's been a crisis at the office? 195 00:07:38,956 --> 00:07:40,557 That's what we said last time.

Really? 198 00:07:44,678 --> 00:07:47,078 Just go through each of the sculptures. Installations. 199 00:07:47,278 --> 00:07:49,039 It's about its context in its environment. 200 00:07:50,559 --> 00:07:51,959 Go through each of the sculptures, 201 00:07:52,159 --> 00:07:55,640 find out what the problem is and what we need to do to fix it. 202 00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:59,201 Front seats, guys.

Yeah. 218 00:08:36,009 --> 00:08:38,490 Sorry. Do either of you know much about Indians? 219 00:08:38,690 --> 00:08:40,930 As in, Pocahontas Indians? Or Sachin Tendulkar Indians? 220 00:08:41,090 --> 00:08:42,531 I don't know who either of them are. 221 00:08:42,731 --> 00:08:44,131 What sort of Indians? From Mumbai. 222 00:08:44,331 --> 00:08:46,652 Tendulkar Indians. We've got a delegation coming this week. 223 00:08:46,852 --> 00:08:48,412 Beauty! We've got to provide lunch. 224 00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:50,093 Is there anything Indians don't eat? 225 00:08:50,293 --> 00:08:53,173 I know this! If they're Hindu, they won't eat beef, 226 00:08:53,373 --> 00:08:55,414 and if they're from Southern India, 227 00:08:55,614 --> 00:08:57,294 they're often vegetarian, possibly vegan. 228 00:08:57,454 --> 00:09:00,015 I might just do sandwiches. 229 00:09:02,695 --> 00:09:05,136 Why am I seeing Monica from the Australian Arts Council? 230 00:09:05,296 --> 00:09:07,897 That's Venette!

It was for Hugh. 242 00:09:42,984 --> 00:09:45,625 Hugh, I think this alert was for you. 243 00:09:45,825 --> 00:09:48,786 So Monica, I understand you chose the 15 works? 244 00:09:48,986 --> 00:09:51,186 As part of a panel. It wasn't easy. 245 00:09:51,386 --> 00:09:54,987 Are you aware there have been some issues with the selection? 246 00:09:55,187 --> 00:09:58,068 I'm not surprised. That's what great art does - it divides. 247 00:09:58,268 --> 00:09:59,948 Or challenges? Or challenges. 248 00:10:00,148 --> 00:10:02,349 We fear there's going to be some criticism. 249 00:10:02,549 --> 00:10:04,589 Isn't that the whole point of what we're doing here, 250 00:10:04,749 --> 00:10:06,070 to ignite debate? 251 00:10:06,270 --> 00:10:07,790 No, the point of what we're doing is 252 00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:10,111 to get trucks from Brisbane to Sydney as quickly as possible. 253 00:10:10,311 --> 00:10:13,431 Give me an example of a work that's creating problems. 254 00:10:13,631 --> 00:10:17,752 I can give you six, starting with this one - Gun. 255 00:10:17,952 --> 00:10:20,393 Everyone who's seen it has deemed it offensive. 256 00:10:20,593 --> 00:10:22,873 I can't see why. Neither can I. 257 00:10:23,033 --> 00:10:24,354 Hugh, it's upside-down. 258 00:10:25,794 --> 00:10:27,995 Oh. That's not a gun. 259 00:10:28,155 --> 00:10:29,475 He's a very busy man, 260 00:10:29,675 --> 00:10:32,796 but he's agreed to share some of his time with us today. 261 00:10:32,996 --> 00:10:35,756 From Nation Building Australia, Mr Woodford.

Now, what do I do? 264 00:10:42,438 --> 00:10:45,839 Well, my job is to help build things - big things, 265 00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,239 like roads or dams or ports or railways, 266 00:10:48,439 --> 00:10:49,999 things we might need for the future. 267 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,960 Can anyone think of something else we might need to build? Yes? 268 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,641 A rocket? 269 00:10:54,841 --> 00:10:58,161 Probably not us, but let's put it up there because... Yeah. 270 00:10:58,361 --> 00:11:02,322 We might need that in the future, a rocket. OK. Anybody else? 271 00:11:02,522 --> 00:11:03,923 Houses? Houses! Oh. 272 00:11:04,123 --> 00:11:07,163 We call them 'urban renewal projects.' 273 00:11:07,363 --> 00:11:09,084 Can anyone think of something else 274 00:11:09,284 --> 00:11:11,324 that might be vital for this country? 275 00:11:11,484 --> 00:11:13,125 A national broadband network. 276 00:11:13,325 --> 00:11:16,085 A little complicated. Well, you've said it. Let's put it up. 277 00:11:16,245 --> 00:11:17,726 NBN. Yep. 278 00:11:17,886 --> 00:11:20,646 Anything else that we might... Yeah? 279 00:11:20,806 --> 00:11:22,607 A really, really long bridge. 280 00:11:22,807 --> 00:11:25,928 Ooh! We've got some blue-sky thinking here in this class. 281 00:11:26,128 --> 00:11:28,288 And where might the really, really long bridge go to? 282 00:11:28,488 --> 00:11:31,889 The moon. Might be a little far. 283 00:11:32,089 --> 00:11:33,929 What about Tasmania? Still far, but anyway, 284 00:11:34,089 --> 00:11:36,530 let's put our bridge to Tassie. 285 00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:39,251 A really, REALLY long bridge. It'll have to be 286 00:11:39,451 --> 00:11:43,131 a long bridge, to get there. But OK, there it is. Anyone else? 287 00:11:43,331 --> 00:11:45,412 A spaceship. You caught his bug. 288 00:11:45,572 --> 00:11:47,452 How about we put up 'satellites,' 289 00:11:47,652 --> 00:11:50,693 because they're very similar to spaceships 290 00:11:50,853 --> 00:11:54,054 but slightly more useful. Yeah? 291 00:11:54,254 --> 00:11:55,934 Your physio appointment is at 2:30. 292 00:11:56,134 --> 00:11:58,815 Some of these works simply won't get the go-ahead. 293 00:11:58,975 --> 00:12:00,775 They've already got the go-ahead. 294 00:12:00,975 --> 00:12:02,576 Not from you, from the real world. 295 00:12:02,736 --> 00:12:05,496 I'm sorry. 296 00:12:05,657 --> 00:12:07,297 Do you think any of the artists 297 00:12:07,497 --> 00:12:09,097 would be willing to modify their works? 298 00:12:09,257 --> 00:12:11,778 To modify their works? 299 00:12:11,938 --> 00:12:13,458 That's the question. 300 00:12:13,658 --> 00:12:16,019 Would the artists be willing to modify their works? 301 00:12:16,179 --> 00:12:17,779 Same question. Needs an answer. 302 00:12:17,939 --> 00:12:19,700 I'd be reluctant to ask. 303 00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:23,621 Would it be alright if we spoke to the artists? 304 00:12:23,821 --> 00:12:26,781 Would it be alright if you spoke to the artists? 305 00:12:26,981 --> 00:12:29,182 No need to repeat the question. I guess you could try, 306 00:12:29,382 --> 00:12:31,822 but I'm not sure what you could do that I can't. 307 00:12:31,982 --> 00:12:34,063 She can threaten them. 308 00:12:34,263 --> 00:12:37,344 What a class. There's so many wonderful ideas. 309 00:12:37,544 --> 00:12:40,424 Giant waterslide - let's build that now. 310 00:12:40,624 --> 00:12:43,665 What we need to do is prioritise, 'cause we can't build them all. 311 00:12:43,865 --> 00:12:47,986 We have to decide what's the most important project. Anyone? 312 00:12:48,186 --> 00:12:49,946 Can't be the rocket. A space station. 313 00:12:50,147 --> 00:12:53,067 Yep. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to put it up, 314 00:12:53,227 --> 00:12:56,228 and put it under 'space program,' 315 00:12:56,428 --> 00:12:59,349 'cause that will include everything - satellite and... 316 00:12:59,549 --> 00:13:03,029 Now, No.2... We have to drive, don't we, in order to get places. 317 00:13:03,229 --> 00:13:06,270 What might we build in order to do that? 318 00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:07,791 The really, really long bridge. 319 00:13:07,991 --> 00:13:10,831 I'm thinking roads. No, let's put it up there - 320 00:13:10,991 --> 00:13:12,712 the bridge to Tassie, No.2. 321 00:13:12,912 --> 00:13:16,112 Now let's keep going with this priority list, 322 00:13:16,272 --> 00:13:17,593 because when this is over, 323 00:13:17,793 --> 00:13:20,713 I'm going to have my office type all this up, print it out 324 00:13:20,913 --> 00:13:23,994 and we're going to have the official Hillside Primary School 325 00:13:24,154 --> 00:13:26,395 Nation Building Australia list. Yes? 326 00:13:26,595 --> 00:13:29,075 Don't forget your meeting with Rhonda tomorrow at 2. 327 00:13:38,357 --> 00:13:40,838 A lot of artists use this space. Sure. 328 00:13:41,038 --> 00:13:44,039 It's shared, obviously. This is... 329 00:13:44,239 --> 00:13:46,039 There it is. There it is. 330 00:13:47,439 --> 00:13:49,720 I've seen pictures, but... 331 00:13:53,361 --> 00:13:56,441 The finished product will be even longer. 332 00:13:56,641 --> 00:13:58,882 Permanently, or just at different times? 333 00:13:59,082 --> 00:14:00,962 I could show you a more detailed mock-up. 334 00:14:01,123 --> 00:14:03,563 No, no, this is plenty. 335 00:14:03,723 --> 00:14:05,043 Let's be honest - 336 00:14:05,243 --> 00:14:07,684 when people drive down the road, what will they see? 337 00:14:07,884 --> 00:14:10,805 For me, art's not so much about what you see 338 00:14:10,965 --> 00:14:12,365 as what you don't see. 339 00:14:12,525 --> 00:14:14,125 They'll see a penis. 340 00:14:14,325 --> 00:14:16,566 Sure, but others will see the folly of... 341 00:14:16,766 --> 00:14:18,246 Steve? It's, 'Stefanos.' 342 00:14:18,446 --> 00:14:20,087 It's a penis. Art's got to be confronting. 343 00:14:20,247 --> 00:14:21,567 It's also got to be something 344 00:14:21,767 --> 00:14:23,608 we can stick on the side of a public motorway. 345 00:14:23,808 --> 00:14:25,808 As it stands, your section of the road 346 00:14:26,008 --> 00:14:27,288 will be closed to anyone under 18. 347 00:14:27,488 --> 00:14:29,409 Could be a sealed section. I'll cut to the chase. 348 00:14:29,609 --> 00:14:31,929 Unless you can modify this in some way... 349 00:14:32,089 --> 00:14:33,650 What do you suggest? 350 00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:35,850 Could you add a giant fig leaf? 351 00:14:37,451 --> 00:14:38,891 Morning. Morning. 352 00:14:39,091 --> 00:14:40,891 We were just thinking of appointments for the day. 353 00:14:41,092 --> 00:14:42,972 Can I check something about the Indian delegation? 354 00:14:43,172 --> 00:14:45,052 When are they coming? Tomorrow. 355 00:14:45,252 --> 00:14:47,333 They would love to know a couple of our projects 356 00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:48,813 they could research before they arrive, 357 00:14:48,973 --> 00:14:50,294 so they can be up-to-speed. 358 00:14:50,494 --> 00:14:52,454 Where are we on the East-West tunnel? 359 00:14:52,654 --> 00:14:54,495 Planning stage. Have we got plans? 360 00:14:54,695 --> 00:14:57,255 Pre-planning stage. What about the deep-water port, 361 00:14:57,415 --> 00:14:58,735 have we started dredging? 362 00:14:58,936 --> 00:15:01,216 Waiting on the environment-impact statement. 363 00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:03,657 How about Liveable Cities? They could visit the site. 364 00:15:03,857 --> 00:15:06,977 We haven't built anything. We've built a viewing platform. 365 00:15:07,177 --> 00:15:09,738 What would they see? Potential. 366 00:15:09,938 --> 00:15:13,179 This one's fine. I thought we might have an obesity issue, 367 00:15:13,339 --> 00:15:15,059 but they're fine with that one. 368 00:15:15,219 --> 00:15:16,700 That's a problem. 369 00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:22,181 What about this one? The giant cockatoo eating grain. 370 00:15:22,341 --> 00:15:23,861 I think that's one of the OK ones. 371 00:15:24,061 --> 00:15:25,622 No objections? Unless the National Farmers' Federation 372 00:15:25,782 --> 00:15:27,102 starts to complain. 373 00:15:27,302 --> 00:15:31,023 This one looks like a giant mobile phone tower. 374 00:15:31,223 --> 00:15:32,823 I think it IS a giant mobile phone tower. 375 00:15:33,023 --> 00:15:36,304 So, not art? Could be both. I'll have to check. 376 00:15:36,504 --> 00:15:38,624 Let's just put it in a separate pile for now. 377 00:15:38,824 --> 00:15:40,425 I thought you were going to sort this out. 378 00:15:40,625 --> 00:15:42,225 We're going to get the road open. We just... 379 00:15:42,425 --> 00:15:44,866 Forget your road, I'm talking about my launch. 380 00:15:45,066 --> 00:15:46,946 What's the hold-up? It's still three or four months away. 381 00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:48,747 Do you have any idea how far in advance 382 00:15:48,947 --> 00:15:51,187 you have to book Jessica Mauboy? We have issues with the artwork. 383 00:15:51,387 --> 00:15:52,668 The what? Installations. 384 00:15:52,868 --> 00:15:54,148 Roadside art. What's the difference? 385 00:15:54,308 --> 00:15:55,668 Installations are site-specific, 386 00:15:55,868 --> 00:15:57,549 designed to transform our perception of space. 387 00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:59,749 I've got no idea what you're talking about. Neither does he. 388 00:15:59,909 --> 00:16:01,230 It's complicated. 389 00:16:01,430 --> 00:16:04,070 It's simple. We have finally delivered a project on time 390 00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:05,551 and under budget, 391 00:16:05,751 --> 00:16:08,751 now you are telling me I can't get that good news out. 392 00:16:08,951 --> 00:16:11,392 We're onto it. You'd better be. 393 00:16:13,632 --> 00:16:14,993 Come on in. 394 00:16:15,153 --> 00:16:18,073 I'll get this bad boy up. 395 00:16:18,233 --> 00:16:20,314 Here we go. 396 00:16:22,234 --> 00:16:24,315 I'm pretty happy with it thus far. 397 00:16:24,515 --> 00:16:28,196 Can I just say, right off the bat, we want a mural. 398 00:16:28,396 --> 00:16:30,876 Everyone wants a mural. We just have one issue. 399 00:16:31,076 --> 00:16:32,797 Which is? Your mural. 400 00:16:32,997 --> 00:16:34,797 Do you mind if I ask you something about it? 401 00:16:34,997 --> 00:16:37,438 I prefer the work to speak for itself. 402 00:16:37,598 --> 00:16:39,558 Bit of a one-sided conversation. 403 00:16:39,718 --> 00:16:41,038 You see... 404 00:16:41,239 --> 00:16:44,519 Manhattan. ..Manhattan, you've got two cars 405 00:16:44,719 --> 00:16:47,000 having what appears to be a head-on crash here. 406 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,800 Multiple pile-ups here. 407 00:16:50,001 --> 00:16:52,401 A corpse in the cemetery. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... 408 00:16:52,601 --> 00:16:54,762 Let's say ten roadside fatalities. 409 00:16:54,962 --> 00:16:57,482 Plus roadkill. There's graffiti reading, 'Progress kills.' 410 00:16:57,682 --> 00:17:00,243 I'm no art expert, but I am detecting a bit of a theme. 411 00:17:00,443 --> 00:17:02,483 It's a polemic work. I make no apologies. 412 00:17:02,683 --> 00:17:05,284 A lot of people will not be happy having this mural on the freeway. 413 00:17:05,444 --> 00:17:08,005 Bottom line, Manhattan, 414 00:17:08,205 --> 00:17:11,085 either you make some changes, big changes, 415 00:17:11,245 --> 00:17:13,886 or that stays as a concrete wall. 416 00:17:15,326 --> 00:17:19,127 Is someone under the monster truck? Yes, a small boy. 417 00:17:19,327 --> 00:17:22,808 Scotty! Sorry. Katie didn't put this in. 418 00:17:23,008 --> 00:17:26,009 When does the Indian delegation arrive again? Tomorrow, midday. 419 00:17:26,209 --> 00:17:27,929 Did you find a couple of Nation Building projects 420 00:17:28,129 --> 00:17:29,409 they could research? Yep. 421 00:17:29,609 --> 00:17:31,690 The Snowy Mountain scheme and the Opera House. 422 00:17:31,850 --> 00:17:33,810 We had nothing to do with them. 423 00:17:34,010 --> 00:17:35,771 It had to be something we actually built? Yes. 424 00:17:35,931 --> 00:17:37,251 Gee, that's tough. 425 00:17:37,411 --> 00:17:38,731 Interesting! 426 00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:40,972 Very interesting. 427 00:17:41,172 --> 00:17:42,852 What? That's what we like about you - 428 00:17:43,052 --> 00:17:44,733 your ability to think outside the square. 429 00:17:44,933 --> 00:17:46,853 I have no idea what you're talking about. 430 00:17:50,054 --> 00:17:51,974 How did you get hold of that list? 431 00:17:52,175 --> 00:17:54,375 It's the sheet you circulated - 'priority list.' 432 00:17:54,575 --> 00:17:57,016 You know what struck a cord with everyone? There's been a mis... 433 00:17:57,216 --> 00:18:00,696 Satellite space programs. We'd love to hear more. 434 00:18:00,896 --> 00:18:02,177 There is no more. Don't play games! 435 00:18:02,337 --> 00:18:03,897 I'm excited. The PM's excited. 436 00:18:04,097 --> 00:18:06,938 Jim... Couple of pages, broad outline, 437 00:18:07,138 --> 00:18:09,338 just to let us know where you're headed. It's very exciting. 438 00:18:09,538 --> 00:18:11,379 Jim... I know! 439 00:18:13,979 --> 00:18:15,780 Space program... Scotty! 440 00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:17,940 I know! 441 00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:19,421 Katie! 442 00:18:23,141 --> 00:18:25,942 How did a copy of this list get into Jim's hands? 443 00:18:26,102 --> 00:18:27,662 I'm trying to be efficient. 444 00:18:27,863 --> 00:18:29,383 I'm synching all office communications. 445 00:18:29,583 --> 00:18:31,063 What?! It said 'priority list.' 446 00:18:31,223 --> 00:18:32,784 I thought you wanted them circulated. 447 00:18:32,984 --> 00:18:35,504 It also had 'Hillside Primary School' written across the top! 448 00:18:35,664 --> 00:18:37,745 Don't worry, I CCd them as well. 449 00:18:37,945 --> 00:18:41,866 You didn't find any of these ideas just a little far-fetched? 450 00:18:42,066 --> 00:18:45,146 No. A national birthday-party centre? 451 00:18:45,346 --> 00:18:47,547 Sounds like fun. A bridge to Tasmania? 452 00:18:47,747 --> 00:18:50,748 I like that one too. A giant waterslide? 453 00:18:50,948 --> 00:18:52,468 Don't they have those in Queensland? 454 00:18:52,628 --> 00:18:55,309 Not built by the government! 455 00:18:55,469 --> 00:18:56,789 Oh. 456 00:18:59,030 --> 00:19:00,470 What is it? 457 00:19:00,630 --> 00:19:03,070 70-metre cantilevered steel beams 458 00:19:03,271 --> 00:19:05,911 form an abstract interpretation of a city gate. 459 00:19:06,071 --> 00:19:07,712 It's called Reflections. 460 00:19:07,912 --> 00:19:09,392 What's the problem? It reflects. 461 00:19:09,592 --> 00:19:11,832 At night. Car headlights make it look like 462 00:19:12,032 --> 00:19:13,353 you're heading into oncoming traffic. 463 00:19:13,513 --> 00:19:14,953 What was he thinking? 464 00:19:15,153 --> 00:19:16,634 He was trying to confront and challenge 465 00:19:16,834 --> 00:19:18,114 our perspectives of time and place. 466 00:19:18,314 --> 00:19:19,794 We're talking to the artist. I'm hopeful. 467 00:19:19,954 --> 00:19:21,395 OK. Next? 468 00:19:21,595 --> 00:19:24,395 Roadside Idyll by Stanislav Murovcik. 469 00:19:24,595 --> 00:19:26,676 A playful rendering of our desire for indulgence... 470 00:19:26,876 --> 00:19:28,756 What's the problem? It's raised eyebrows at Women's Affairs. 471 00:19:28,956 --> 00:19:30,237 What's the issue? They feel 472 00:19:30,437 --> 00:19:31,997 it could be reinforcing negative stereotypes 473 00:19:32,157 --> 00:19:33,517 regarding ideal form. 474 00:19:33,677 --> 00:19:35,118 They're too fat. 475 00:19:35,278 --> 00:19:36,998 A statue's got to have a BMI now? 476 00:19:37,198 --> 00:19:39,839 Of course they're fat. They've probably been to that truck stop. 477 00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:42,679 I think we can solve this one, however... 478 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,200 It's a sound wall. Well, it was supposed to be, 479 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,441 but they commissioned an artist to redesign it. 480 00:19:48,641 --> 00:19:51,441 And? He wanted to play with the form. 481 00:19:51,641 --> 00:19:54,002 Hence the discs and patterns. I don't see anything wrong with it. 482 00:19:54,202 --> 00:19:56,282 That's not going to offend anyone. That's not the problem. 483 00:19:56,482 --> 00:19:58,203 Then what is? It doesn't reduce sound. 484 00:19:58,363 --> 00:19:59,883 Apparently, it amplifies it. 485 00:20:01,084 --> 00:20:02,644 Did they have this sort of problem 486 00:20:02,844 --> 00:20:04,564 when they put the dog on the tucker box 487 00:20:04,764 --> 00:20:08,205 five miles from Gundagai? The Indians are coming! 488 00:20:08,405 --> 00:20:11,526 Ersa...high-kay-ap-kee-atra Humara. 489 00:20:11,726 --> 00:20:13,606 HuMAra. OK. 490 00:20:13,766 --> 00:20:16,927 Phew! Ah... Fiz-ee-oh Apt... 491 00:20:17,127 --> 00:20:20,008 No, no, no - that's, 'physio appointment.' Yeah. 492 00:20:20,168 --> 00:20:22,768 Hoomera-Satchi-Anandit. 493 00:20:22,968 --> 00:20:26,089 ANandit. The emphasis is on the first syllable. 494 00:20:26,289 --> 00:20:29,290 I'll do a copy and you can read it later. Welcome, anyway. 495 00:20:29,450 --> 00:20:31,610 Thank you. 496 00:20:31,770 --> 00:20:33,371 I'm going to join you for lunch. 497 00:20:33,571 --> 00:20:35,011 Till then, my senior assistant, Scott, 498 00:20:35,211 --> 00:20:37,772 is going to show you around the Nation Building offices. 499 00:20:37,932 --> 00:20:39,412 We would like that very much. 500 00:20:39,612 --> 00:20:41,013 Shall we start with the Project Planning department? 501 00:20:41,213 --> 00:20:42,653 We want to know everything about your office. 502 00:20:42,853 --> 00:20:45,173 These are glass, double-hinged, two-way action. 503 00:20:45,373 --> 00:20:47,494 They've got doors in India, Scotty. He said, everything. 504 00:20:47,654 --> 00:20:48,974 Maybe skip the office fittings. 505 00:20:49,174 --> 00:20:52,655 Why don't you just pull on that integrated, chrome door handle? 506 00:20:53,855 --> 00:20:55,296 Thank you. 507 00:20:55,456 --> 00:20:56,936 You wanted a word? 508 00:20:57,096 --> 00:20:59,297 Oh, yeah, Jim. Come in. 509 00:20:59,497 --> 00:21:02,217 About before... Oh, yeah. I've spoken to a few people. 510 00:21:02,417 --> 00:21:04,818 Just between you and me, they're talking, Cairns. 511 00:21:05,018 --> 00:21:07,659 We're going to upgrade the M1 all the way to North Queensland? 512 00:21:07,859 --> 00:21:10,019 For the launch facility! If we build this space program, 513 00:21:10,179 --> 00:21:11,499 we'll need a launch facility. 514 00:21:11,699 --> 00:21:14,620 There IS no space program. I know - keep this hush-hush. 515 00:21:14,820 --> 00:21:17,741 There's no need to start launching our own satellites. 516 00:21:17,941 --> 00:21:20,181 The PPM loves it. We've got so many pressing... 517 00:21:20,341 --> 00:21:21,742 He hasn't said anything publicly? 518 00:21:21,942 --> 00:21:24,182 No, no. Although he is running it past Cabinet. 519 00:21:24,382 --> 00:21:28,543 When? Not until... Actually, that'd be today. 520 00:21:28,743 --> 00:21:30,584 This is just like putting art on a highway - 521 00:21:30,784 --> 00:21:33,584 it sounds good, then it bites us on the arse. 522 00:21:33,784 --> 00:21:35,985 How's that going, by the way? Nat's working through the issues. 523 00:21:36,185 --> 00:21:38,585 Good. It would be nice to have the launch out of the way 524 00:21:38,786 --> 00:21:41,506 before we announce the space program. 525 00:21:41,706 --> 00:21:44,027 This is another one of our projects - 526 00:21:44,227 --> 00:21:46,507 the Port Pirie common-use, bulk-export facility. 527 00:21:46,707 --> 00:21:49,348 We're overseeing a complete upgrade of the port. 528 00:21:49,548 --> 00:21:51,188 How long did this take? About 18 months. 529 00:21:51,388 --> 00:21:54,149 18 months to complete the entire project? 530 00:21:54,349 --> 00:21:56,229 No, to complete the planning proposal. 531 00:21:56,389 --> 00:21:58,230 We're still awaiting approval. 532 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:59,750 Then how long? 533 00:21:59,950 --> 00:22:02,191 About 12 months. To complete it? 534 00:22:02,391 --> 00:22:04,871 Ah, to complete the tender process. 535 00:22:05,071 --> 00:22:07,192 It seems like a lengthy period. It's pretty fast. 536 00:22:07,352 --> 00:22:09,712 How do you guys do it back home? 537 00:22:09,913 --> 00:22:12,113 We start building. That's really fast. 538 00:22:12,313 --> 00:22:13,913 We should probably come and visit you. 539 00:22:14,113 --> 00:22:17,234 Can you show us something that has been completed? Yep. 540 00:22:18,434 --> 00:22:19,875 Nah. 541 00:22:20,035 --> 00:22:22,675 Nah, nah. Not ours. 542 00:22:22,875 --> 00:22:25,516 Jim, would you just promise me one thing? Shoot. 543 00:22:25,676 --> 00:22:27,036 That nothing is said publicly 544 00:22:27,236 --> 00:22:29,157 about a satellite or a space program. 545 00:22:29,357 --> 00:22:31,757 I don't know why you're being so coy. 546 00:22:31,957 --> 00:22:34,038 Would it change your thinking if I told you 547 00:22:34,238 --> 00:22:38,359 that we had a letter from 50 prominent Australian scientists 548 00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:40,319 supporting the idea? When did this happen? 549 00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:42,400 I said, if we had it. What does it say? 550 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,880 Still drafting it. Who are they? 551 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,441 Still tracking down the scientists. 552 00:22:45,641 --> 00:22:47,241 Do you have an email contact for Rob Thomas? 553 00:22:47,441 --> 00:22:49,241 The lead singer of Matchbox Twenty? 554 00:22:49,441 --> 00:22:51,242 Who am I thinking of? Andy Thomas? 555 00:22:51,442 --> 00:22:53,762 That's the one. And there are two Dr Karls, aren't there? 556 00:22:53,962 --> 00:22:56,123 Yeah. Which one's on Neighbours? 557 00:22:56,283 --> 00:22:58,163 Is Dr Phil Australian? 558 00:22:59,884 --> 00:23:04,645 Sorry. Sorry I'm late. I got delayed by the... (Grunts) 559 00:23:04,845 --> 00:23:06,125 Your colleague has been showing us 560 00:23:06,285 --> 00:23:07,606 some of your impressive projects. 561 00:23:07,806 --> 00:23:10,606 We're pretty proud of what we're trying to achieve here. 562 00:23:10,806 --> 00:23:13,567 Certainly some grand plans here. More than just plans. 563 00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:16,247 One of the strengths we like to think we have 564 00:23:16,447 --> 00:23:18,088 is our ability to see things through, 565 00:23:18,288 --> 00:23:19,688 not just make the announcement, but... 566 00:23:19,888 --> 00:23:22,049 What else are you working on at the moment, 567 00:23:22,249 --> 00:23:23,609 if it's not breaching any confidences? 568 00:23:23,809 --> 00:23:27,770 No, we're all pretty transparent here. What are we working on? 569 00:23:27,970 --> 00:23:29,610 The space program. I wouldn't mention... 570 00:23:29,810 --> 00:23:32,171 You're starting a space program? Preliminary. Pre-planning. 571 00:23:32,371 --> 00:23:34,972 Space station... (Both speak Indian language) 572 00:23:36,892 --> 00:23:40,173 Why does Australia need a space station? 573 00:23:40,333 --> 00:23:42,773 We don't. We might. It's an idea. 574 00:23:42,973 --> 00:23:44,414 Pre-planning.
