1
00:00:01,086 --> 00:00:02,969
So, we're agreed? No confession?
2
00:00:02,977 --> 00:00:04,717
And if the story breaks...
3
00:00:04,968 --> 00:00:08,204
...some other way, we instantly
and comprehensively deny.
4
00:00:08,248 --> 00:00:10,260
Mm-hm. Deal.
5
00:00:12,088 --> 00:00:15,268
If we could pretend that the phone
doesn't actually exist...
6
00:00:15,408 --> 00:00:16,748
The phone in your hand?
Yeah.
7
00:00:16,848 --> 00:00:17,908
Thank you.
8
00:00:18,048 --> 00:00:21,166
No-one likes playing second fiddle.
I understand that.
9
00:00:21,168 --> 00:00:22,908
You ever try
and backdoor me again...
10
00:00:23,008 --> 00:00:24,188
What are you going to do?
11
00:00:24,328 --> 00:00:27,108
If you get us back in,
then that'll be it.
12
00:00:27,208 --> 00:00:28,679
That'll be your job done.
13
00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:32,108
You're not a leader.
You're a fucking muppet, mate.
14
00:00:32,208 --> 00:00:34,348
Yes, she had an affair, OK?!
15
00:00:34,448 --> 00:00:35,588
There it is!
16
00:00:35,728 --> 00:00:38,708
The Right Honourable Kate Ballard
had an affair.
17
00:00:38,848 --> 00:00:40,628
Who with?
18
00:00:45,988 --> 00:00:47,388
Good luck tomorrow.
19
00:00:48,948 --> 00:00:49,908
Thanks.
20
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:51,628
Um...
21
00:00:51,728 --> 00:00:53,268
See you out there.
22
00:00:56,728 --> 00:01:00,308
Well, I... I was just
doing my job. You know?
23
00:01:00,408 --> 00:01:01,908
You don't leave anyone behind.
24
00:01:02,008 --> 00:01:03,668
And when you look back on that day,
25
00:01:03,808 --> 00:01:07,348
I mean, surviving
that amount of firepower -
26
00:01:07,488 --> 00:01:09,188
I mean, what do you put that
down to?
27
00:01:09,328 --> 00:01:12,628
Is it luck? Is it the training?
Or are you religious?
28
00:01:12,768 --> 00:01:15,121
Well, luck.
There's no doubt I was lucky.
29
00:01:15,168 --> 00:01:18,628
But in the end, really,
it just comes down to the training.
30
00:01:18,768 --> 00:01:20,628
You know?
And that's what you fall back on.
31
00:01:20,768 --> 00:01:23,588
Well, Russell Anderson,
on behalf of all Australians,
32
00:01:23,728 --> 00:01:26,588
congratulations again
on a richly deserved honour
33
00:01:26,688 --> 00:01:27,808
and thank you for your time.
34
00:01:27,888 --> 00:01:28,868
Thanks, mate.
35
00:01:29,296 --> 00:01:30,316
And we're out.
36
00:01:31,348 --> 00:01:32,468
That was great.
37
00:01:32,608 --> 00:01:34,348
Sorry, I get so nervous...
No, no, no. You were terrific.
38
00:01:34,488 --> 00:01:35,968
Was it alright?
Really terrific. Yeah.
39
00:01:36,068 --> 00:01:37,308
Just let our sound guy jump in.
40
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:39,268
Just take your mike.
41
00:01:39,408 --> 00:01:40,988
Good?
Great.
42
00:01:41,128 --> 00:01:43,070
I'll just pull that
there for you.
43
00:01:49,888 --> 00:01:52,268
Checking out tomorrow, minister?
44
00:01:52,368 --> 00:01:53,948
Ah, yes.
45
00:01:54,088 --> 00:01:57,088
Having the house repainted.
I can't stand the fumes.
46
00:01:57,168 --> 00:01:58,708
Well, you have a room on level 15.
47
00:01:58,808 --> 00:02:00,128
It's a key room. Is that alright?
48
00:02:00,153 --> 00:02:02,330
Yeah, that's fine.
Sorry, I'll just...
49
00:02:03,128 --> 00:02:04,388
Kate Ballard.
50
00:02:04,528 --> 00:02:06,188
Well, hello there, Ms Ballard.
51
00:02:06,288 --> 00:02:09,268
So, how do you want to work this?
52
00:02:09,408 --> 00:02:10,848
Do you want to give me
a room number?
53
00:02:10,873 --> 00:02:15,028
Oh, no. You need a key pass here,
so... Are you listening?
54
00:02:15,128 --> 00:02:17,428
Course I am. Every word.
55
00:02:17,568 --> 00:02:20,748
You can take the elevator
to the restaurant on level 4
56
00:02:20,848 --> 00:02:21,848
and then text me.
57
00:02:21,888 --> 00:02:24,028
Wow, you really have
thought of everything.
58
00:02:24,128 --> 00:02:26,028
Yes, I have. See you soon.
59
00:02:30,848 --> 00:02:32,228
Thank you.
60
00:03:02,048 --> 00:03:04,828
She just needs to learn that it's
not always about herself, you know?
61
00:03:04,968 --> 00:03:07,145
I mean, she's always
been like this...
62
00:04:12,968 --> 00:04:14,851
Do you want to get room service?
63
00:04:16,068 --> 00:04:16,988
Mm-mm.
64
00:04:25,468 --> 00:04:28,057
You want to talk about
what's happening here?
65
00:04:35,868 --> 00:04:37,574
Do you want to take a shower?
66
00:04:38,368 --> 00:04:39,828
Mm?
67
00:04:39,928 --> 00:04:40,828
Together.
68
00:05:00,816 --> 00:05:48,487

69
00:06:02,908 --> 00:06:05,868
Well, amidst rumours
of tension, a show of unity
70
00:06:06,008 --> 00:06:08,388
as David McLeod
and interim leader Trevor Bailey
71
00:06:08,528 --> 00:06:10,868
launch their transport policy
here in...
72
00:06:10,968 --> 00:06:12,228
They both pledged unity.
73
00:06:12,368 --> 00:06:14,428
They both pledged
to support regional development.
74
00:06:14,568 --> 00:06:17,348
And typically, they both referred
to their teenage daughters
75
00:06:17,448 --> 00:06:18,548
a number of times.
76
00:06:18,688 --> 00:06:21,388
Mums and dads out here,
working families,
77
00:06:21,528 --> 00:06:24,028
they deserve
quality public transport.
78
00:06:24,168 --> 00:06:26,988
And they're watching Kate Ballard
spend billions and billions
79
00:06:27,128 --> 00:06:30,717
of their taxpayer dollars
on an elitist, inner-city rail plan.
80
00:06:30,768 --> 00:06:32,768
They've only got one question
for Premier Ballard -
81
00:06:32,808 --> 00:06:34,668
"What's in it for us?"
82
00:06:34,808 --> 00:06:36,548
Mr Bailey?
Janet.
83
00:06:36,688 --> 00:06:39,548
Mr Bailey, as a party stalwart,
how does it feel
84
00:06:39,688 --> 00:06:43,228
to be campaigning for someone
with zero political experience?
85
00:06:44,368 --> 00:06:46,348
Well, I'm sure he'd finds it
quite invigorating.
86
00:06:46,488 --> 00:06:49,348
Look, Janet, change is part
of politics. I accept that.
87
00:06:49,488 --> 00:06:51,828
And David's brought
a great new energy to the party.
88
00:06:51,968 --> 00:06:54,588
And look, for me,
already it's been such an asset
89
00:06:54,728 --> 00:06:56,528
to draw on Trevor's
great depth of experience.
90
00:06:56,553 --> 00:06:57,708
Tom?
91
00:06:57,848 --> 00:06:59,988
The constant referencing
of yourselves as fathers
92
00:07:00,088 --> 00:07:01,388
has attracted some criticism.
93
00:07:01,528 --> 00:07:03,108
Some people are seeing it
as a calculated move
94
00:07:03,248 --> 00:07:05,008
to highlight Premier Ballard's
childlessness.
95
00:07:05,048 --> 00:07:06,968
No. Well, that's just ridiculous.
Yep, over here?
96
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:07,588
No, I'm sorry.
97
00:07:07,728 --> 00:07:09,828
I'm very sorry but if you can't
talk about your personal situation,
98
00:07:09,928 --> 00:07:10,828
it's insanity.
99
00:07:10,968 --> 00:07:12,488
Look, at the end of the day,
I'm a dad.
100
00:07:12,608 --> 00:07:14,548
It shapes my perspective,
it shapes my values...
101
00:07:14,688 --> 00:07:16,588
I'm sorry, but you can't say
it's irrelevant.
102
00:07:16,688 --> 00:07:18,308
Just on a purely practical level,
103
00:07:18,448 --> 00:07:21,108
in terms of physically carrying out
the job, it is relevant.
104
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:22,108
How so?
105
00:07:23,768 --> 00:07:25,028
OK, Kate Ballard.
106
00:07:25,168 --> 00:07:27,128
She's 40 years old
and she does not have children.
107
00:07:27,168 --> 00:07:29,068
Those are the facts.
108
00:07:29,208 --> 00:07:32,150
And I mean, are we going to get
a pregnant premier?
109
00:07:32,168 --> 00:07:34,868
Ooh.
110
00:07:35,008 --> 00:07:37,488
Are you saying that a pregnant
woman wouldn't be fit to govern?
111
00:07:37,513 --> 00:07:40,653
No response.
Trevor? Trevor!
112
00:07:42,328 --> 00:07:44,068
One moment.
113
00:07:44,168 --> 00:07:45,068
Lucas.
114
00:07:45,208 --> 00:07:49,028
Um, something just happened
at the end of the presser.
115
00:07:49,128 --> 00:07:50,028
What?
116
00:07:50,128 --> 00:07:51,508
I forget how it came up, but, uh,
117
00:07:51,648 --> 00:07:53,868
I think they were talking about
family, and, uh...
118
00:07:53,968 --> 00:07:55,348
Quickly, Lucas.
119
00:07:55,488 --> 00:07:59,077
Trevor Bailey asked, "Are we going
to get a pregnant premier?"
120
00:07:59,088 --> 00:08:01,268
And...
Hang on, he was asked, or...
121
00:08:01,368 --> 00:08:02,668
No, no. He asked it.
122
00:08:02,808 --> 00:08:06,068
Like a rhetorical question
about Ballard and...
123
00:08:06,248 --> 00:08:07,808
...'cause I'm the only bloke...
And?
124
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:10,548
with the only chance of winning this
thing. If you blokes... And?
125
00:08:10,573 --> 00:08:12,108
Sorry, they're arguing.
126
00:08:12,208 --> 00:08:14,348
Who? David and Trevor?
127
00:08:14,488 --> 00:08:16,508
In public?
Um, sort of.
128
00:08:17,688 --> 00:08:19,548
Lucas,
are they in front of the press?
129
00:08:19,648 --> 00:08:21,228
Not really.
130
00:08:21,368 --> 00:08:23,748
OK, Lucas, listen to me.
Hang up immediately.
131
00:08:23,888 --> 00:08:26,188
Separate them, take them aside,
and call me back.
132
00:08:26,328 --> 00:08:28,428
Um...
Now, Lucas! Do it now!
133
00:08:30,388 --> 00:08:32,506
James, I'm going to need a taxi.
Yep.
134
00:08:41,628 --> 00:08:43,068
They look beautiful.
135
00:08:45,468 --> 00:08:46,428
Hi.
136
00:08:47,688 --> 00:08:49,924
...shake your hand.
Lovely to meet you.
137
00:08:50,008 --> 00:08:53,368
When I first met Mark,
he was only exporting 10%.
138
00:08:53,508 --> 00:08:55,668
So, in six years, you've quadrupled
that export figure.
139
00:08:55,728 --> 00:08:56,628
Yep.
140
00:08:56,768 --> 00:08:58,588
And two or three kids in that time,
Mark?
141
00:08:58,728 --> 00:09:00,168
Yeah, there's two
and one on the way.
142
00:09:00,193 --> 00:09:02,853
Model of productivity.
143
00:09:04,968 --> 00:09:07,488
Yes. Well, it's been a lovely walk
through the orchard with you.
144
00:09:07,568 --> 00:09:08,648
Thank you.
Yeah, no worries.
145
00:09:08,788 --> 00:09:10,668
And we'll see you next time.
Thanks again, Kate.
146
00:09:10,693 --> 00:09:11,193
Thank you.
147
00:09:11,248 --> 00:09:13,748
OK, thanks, boys and girls.
We'll see you at the next stop.
148
00:09:13,888 --> 00:09:16,006
You should all
have your itineraries.
149
00:09:16,468 --> 00:09:18,880
Uh, if you could just
take a look at that.
150
00:09:21,148 --> 00:09:22,628
A pregnant premier?
151
00:09:23,808 --> 00:09:26,808
Off the back of questions
about their families, yes.
152
00:09:30,488 --> 00:09:34,108
What? I can see on one level
it's funny...
153
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:35,628
I'm sorry. It's just...
154
00:09:35,728 --> 00:09:38,668
I know you're very exhausted, but...
155
00:09:38,808 --> 00:09:40,988
I thought the issue
was that I was too barren?
156
00:09:41,088 --> 00:09:42,348
Now I'm too fertile?
157
00:09:46,708 --> 00:09:48,228
You can't win.
158
00:09:48,368 --> 00:09:50,128
Well, it will dominate
the news agenda today,
159
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:52,268
and there are consequences
that we need to consider.
160
00:09:52,408 --> 00:09:55,788
For example, you are scheduled
to visit a maternity ward.
161
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:59,428
That may now... be ill-advised.
162
00:10:01,328 --> 00:10:02,668
Let it out then.
163
00:10:13,568 --> 00:10:14,788
Charlotte Wynn.
164
00:10:14,928 --> 00:10:17,108
Hey, Charlotte.
Natasha Lee from Late Edition.
165
00:10:17,208 --> 00:10:18,148
Tash.
166
00:10:18,288 --> 00:10:21,008
Please tell me you're not calling
about the 'pregnant premier' thing.
167
00:10:21,033 --> 00:10:22,148
Oh, no, no. We're, um...
168
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:25,308
Look, I'm actually calling about
a completely different story today
169
00:10:25,408 --> 00:10:26,508
about your man.
170
00:10:26,608 --> 00:10:28,388
OK.
171
00:10:28,488 --> 00:10:32,548
Yeah, I'm calling about 'the' story.
172
00:10:32,648 --> 00:10:33,948
'The' story?
173
00:10:34,048 --> 00:10:35,188
Uh-huh.
174
00:10:35,288 --> 00:10:36,868
And I was hoping we might be able
175
00:10:37,008 --> 00:10:39,548
to get David back in the studio
for a response.
176
00:10:39,648 --> 00:10:41,548
A response? To what?
177
00:10:41,688 --> 00:10:45,388
Uh... we'd prefer to sit on that
at this stage.
178
00:10:45,528 --> 00:10:47,688
So you want me to deliver David
to respond to something
179
00:10:47,768 --> 00:10:49,768
you're not going to tell me about?
180
00:10:50,448 --> 00:10:51,468
Yeah.
181
00:10:51,608 --> 00:10:53,988
Yes, that's exactly
what I'm asking for.
182
00:10:55,288 --> 00:10:57,388
Charlotte, you really don't
have any idea what it is
183
00:10:57,488 --> 00:10:58,688
that I might be talking about?
184
00:10:58,713 --> 00:10:59,908
Uh, should I?
185
00:11:00,048 --> 00:11:03,548
Um, well, I can tell you
that it involves
186
00:11:03,688 --> 00:11:06,028
another extremely visible
public figure
187
00:11:06,168 --> 00:11:09,388
and that it is almost definitely
the story of the year.
188
00:11:09,528 --> 00:11:12,668
Oh, come on, Tash.
Give me something. What is it?
189
00:11:12,768 --> 00:11:14,828
Sex? Money? Corruption?
190
00:11:14,968 --> 00:11:16,868
No. Look, talk to David
and then get back to me.
191
00:11:17,068 --> 00:11:19,388
We're going to go to air with it
right after the debate on Wednesday night
192
00:11:19,488 --> 00:11:20,528
whether we get him or not.
193
00:11:20,553 --> 00:11:24,201
Pretty sure you're going to be
calling me back. Bye, Charlotte.
194
00:11:41,603 --> 00:11:44,643
Just... please.
195
00:11:47,802 --> 00:11:49,842
I've put out your stationery -
we've got file cards.
196
00:11:49,982 --> 00:11:51,822
Going to take you back
to high school debating.
197
00:11:51,847 --> 00:11:54,887
Right. Well, we've got half an hour,
so let's just go through a few.
198
00:11:55,782 --> 00:11:57,742
You don't want to take a second?
199
00:11:57,966 --> 00:12:01,672
You don't want to talk at all
about this whole #PregnantPremier?
200
00:12:03,066 --> 00:12:04,906
Wayne's given you
a little briefing, has he?
201
00:12:05,006 --> 00:12:06,766
No.
202
00:12:06,846 --> 00:12:08,186
Yes.
203
00:12:08,326 --> 00:12:12,666
Yeah, he's just spent the last
15 minutes trying to convince me
204
00:12:12,766 --> 00:12:15,666
to do a tacky tell-all with Geoff.
205
00:12:15,806 --> 00:12:21,106
He actually used the phrase,
"sympathetically barren."
206
00:12:21,206 --> 00:12:22,706
Sympathetically barren?
207
00:12:22,846 --> 00:12:26,435
Said we need to flip the perception
from 'deliberately barren'
208
00:12:26,486 --> 00:12:28,134
to 'sympathetically barren'.
209
00:12:28,246 --> 00:12:31,346
I want to start a band
called Sympathetically Barren.
210
00:12:32,886 --> 00:12:35,475
Come on, let's just run through.
Alright. OK.
211
00:12:36,106 --> 00:12:39,146
Alright. "Regional economic growth.
212
00:12:39,326 --> 00:12:43,546
"Kate Ballard, why is your
government placing limits on this huge..."
213
00:12:43,646 --> 00:12:44,726
You know what the truth is?
214
00:12:44,751 --> 00:12:47,026
The truth is that Geoff and I
did try to have kids
215
00:12:47,106 --> 00:12:48,342
and it didn't happen.
216
00:12:50,566 --> 00:12:53,226
And I know everyone thinks
I've chosen not to have kids
217
00:12:53,326 --> 00:12:55,426
and I'm OK with that.
218
00:12:55,566 --> 00:12:57,346
The last thing I want
is some terrible
219
00:12:57,486 --> 00:13:01,266
personal self-interest story -
"Kate's Private Pain."
220
00:13:01,366 --> 00:13:02,306
Fuck me.
221
00:13:04,566 --> 00:13:06,426
You could make sure
that it's not like that.
222
00:13:06,566 --> 00:13:11,186
You know, if it was say,
a Fairfax long-form article
223
00:13:11,326 --> 00:13:14,666
and, you know, maybe like a profile
on you and Geoff
224
00:13:14,806 --> 00:13:17,346
and you do it
with a respected journalist.
225
00:13:17,486 --> 00:13:21,426
You know, the public, they don't
know a lot about your marriage.
226
00:13:21,566 --> 00:13:23,946
It might not hurt
to show another side.
227
00:13:35,226 --> 00:13:37,746
"Regional economic growth.
228
00:13:37,886 --> 00:13:39,706
"Why is your government
placing limits
229
00:13:39,806 --> 00:13:42,026
"on this huge economic frontier?"
230
00:13:48,426 --> 00:13:50,544
Regional growth is hardly strangled.
231
00:13:52,646 --> 00:13:54,529
It's proceeding at record rates,
232
00:13:54,646 --> 00:13:57,266
but we're ensuring
that the economic benefits
233
00:13:57,366 --> 00:13:59,131
are enjoyed by all Victorians.
234
00:13:59,206 --> 00:14:02,386
Not just a few corporate interests.
235
00:14:02,486 --> 00:14:04,226
Crowd goes wild.
236
00:14:10,926 --> 00:14:11,966
Why aren't you with David?
237
00:14:12,046 --> 00:14:13,706
He's just in the bus.
And Trevor?
238
00:14:13,846 --> 00:14:15,326
He went back to
the electorate office.
239
00:14:15,406 --> 00:14:18,112
Got really quite aggressive.
Define aggressive?
240
00:14:19,706 --> 00:14:21,626
Shit! Here comes Trevor's press sec.
He's really pissed off.
241
00:14:21,766 --> 00:14:23,446
What's his name? What's his name?
Jonathan.
242
00:14:23,471 --> 00:14:25,746
Jonathan, good to meet you
personally. Charlotte Wynn.
243
00:14:25,886 --> 00:14:28,986
Trevor is extremely upset
about David's behaviour.
244
00:14:29,086 --> 00:14:30,026
I'm sorry to hear that.
245
00:14:30,166 --> 00:14:32,966
Some of the language that David used
was completely inappropriate.
246
00:14:33,106 --> 00:14:35,754
He combined the f-word
with the word 'retard'.
247
00:14:37,346 --> 00:14:39,466
Fucktard!
Yes, yep. I got it.
248
00:14:39,566 --> 00:14:41,066
Cameras weren't even that far away.
249
00:14:41,206 --> 00:14:43,426
Look, Jonathan,
I think we should
250
00:14:43,566 --> 00:14:45,266
pull David out
of the Town Forum tonight.
251
00:14:45,366 --> 00:14:46,308
Take a breather.
252
00:14:46,406 --> 00:14:48,286
I think we should do breakfast
tomorrow morning,
253
00:14:48,311 --> 00:14:51,076
and I can assure you
David will be fine by then.
254
00:14:54,706 --> 00:14:56,106
No, just...
255
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:08,946
Pregnant premier!
Have you seen this?
256
00:15:09,086 --> 00:15:11,386
It's already the top trending story
in the state.
257
00:15:11,486 --> 00:15:12,386
Yes.
258
00:15:12,586 --> 00:15:13,866
But we've got to move on this quickly.
David.
259
00:15:14,006 --> 00:15:15,346
OK. That's why I think
I come out right now...
260
00:15:15,486 --> 00:15:16,866
Let's just wait and see
what filters through.
261
00:15:17,006 --> 00:15:19,026
...and I say that I find
Trevor Bailey's comments
262
00:15:19,126 --> 00:15:21,266
deeply inappropriate and misguided.
263
00:15:21,406 --> 00:15:25,171
And that's why I'm asking Trevor
Bailey to resign from the party.
264
00:15:25,286 --> 00:15:26,186
You're joking?
265
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:27,986
Look, there'd be fallout,
but we can manage that.
266
00:15:28,126 --> 00:15:29,926
David, until you've actually
won the election,
267
00:15:30,066 --> 00:15:31,786
you don't have the authority
to fire anyone.
268
00:15:31,811 --> 00:15:33,706
Thank you, PR girl.
I'm aware of that.
269
00:15:33,806 --> 00:15:35,146
But I wouldn't be firing him.
270
00:15:35,246 --> 00:15:36,706
I'd be calling on him to resign
271
00:15:36,846 --> 00:15:38,546
and letting public pressure
do the rest.
272
00:15:38,686 --> 00:15:40,946
He said himself
he wants to knife me.
273
00:15:41,046 --> 00:15:42,966
I know, David! I know that!
274
00:15:43,106 --> 00:15:46,146
Yes, Trevor Bailey is a dickhead.
He's a vindictive little dickhead.
275
00:15:46,286 --> 00:15:48,866
But until the election is won,
you have to tolerate him.
276
00:15:48,966 --> 00:15:50,546
That's politics.
277
00:15:50,686 --> 00:15:52,206
Anything that's ever
been achieved ever
278
00:15:52,231 --> 00:15:54,746
is because someone shut the fuck up
and worked with a dickhead.
279
00:15:54,886 --> 00:15:56,786
I myself have worked
with many dickheads.
280
00:15:56,886 --> 00:15:59,004
So please, stop adding to the tally.
281
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:04,410
I kind of like you a bit yelly.
282
00:16:05,206 --> 00:16:06,506
Suits you.
283
00:16:09,706 --> 00:16:14,066
Also, I just got a very weird
call from Tash at Late Edition.
284
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:16,626
She says they're sitting on
a story about you.
285
00:16:16,766 --> 00:16:19,061
She's called it
"The story of the year."
286
00:16:21,366 --> 00:16:22,546
"The story of the year"?
287
00:16:22,646 --> 00:16:23,926
Look, she might be bullshitting,
288
00:16:24,046 --> 00:16:26,811
but she kept saying that
you'd know what it was.
289
00:16:28,566 --> 00:16:29,684
Know what what was?
290
00:16:29,806 --> 00:16:32,226
She said it involves
another very public figure.
291
00:16:32,366 --> 00:16:34,026
Now, like I said,
she could be bluffing.
292
00:16:34,126 --> 00:16:35,832
But it doesn't seem like her.
293
00:16:37,226 --> 00:16:39,666
It's either minor or it is a bluff.
294
00:16:41,426 --> 00:16:42,626
Ignore it or deny.
295
00:16:46,026 --> 00:16:47,106
Oh, and David?
296
00:16:47,246 --> 00:16:49,423
Did you call Trevor Bailey
a fucktard?
297
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:56,746
OK. Well, as your 'PR girl',
I'd suggest
298
00:16:56,886 --> 00:16:59,586
that you have breakfast with him
tomorrow morning and apologise.
299
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:03,315
I'd also suggest that you don't
ride on the press bus anymore.
300
00:17:03,326 --> 00:17:04,906
Are you done?
I'm done.
301
00:17:10,806 --> 00:17:12,906
They claim David McLeod
marks a new chapter.
302
00:17:13,046 --> 00:17:15,306
But there's Trevor Bailey,
right beside him,
303
00:17:15,446 --> 00:17:18,226
still serving up the same pointless,
reductive, personal attacks.
304
00:17:18,366 --> 00:17:21,146
Make no mistake -
this is a broken party.
305
00:17:21,246 --> 00:17:23,466
A party bereft of ideas.
306
00:17:23,606 --> 00:17:27,706
And wheeling in some deeply
unqualified celebrity as leader
307
00:17:27,806 --> 00:17:29,186
doesn't change that one bit.
308
00:17:29,326 --> 00:17:31,686
Well, the polls suggest
that McLeod's message is connecting.
309
00:17:31,726 --> 00:17:32,726
Honeymoon effect.
310
00:17:32,766 --> 00:17:35,226
Those polls will change.
311
00:17:35,366 --> 00:17:37,746
And I think David McLeod's
puppet leadership
312
00:17:37,886 --> 00:17:39,786
will be seen as
one of the most cynical,
313
00:17:39,926 --> 00:17:42,446
one of the most misguided moves
in Australian political history.
314
00:17:43,146 --> 00:17:44,706
OK, thank you very much,
Deputy Premier.
315
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:45,631
Oh, pleasure.
316
00:18:14,426 --> 00:18:15,346
Shh. Come in.
317
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:19,786
Feel like I'm behind enemy lines
or something.
318
00:18:19,926 --> 00:18:21,406
They tell you
you can't have partners?
319
00:18:21,506 --> 00:18:22,626
No, but I don't want to ask.
320
00:18:22,746 --> 00:18:25,186
Just be careful,
those are debate-prep questions.
321
00:18:25,326 --> 00:18:28,032
Which you promised to help me with,
by the way.
322
00:18:28,306 --> 00:18:29,786
Ooh, tourist information.
323
00:18:30,866 --> 00:18:32,066
"Bacchus Marsh.
324
00:18:32,206 --> 00:18:35,106
"There's no limit
to what you can see or do."
325
00:18:35,246 --> 00:18:36,426
Mm-hm.
That's quite the claim.
326
00:18:36,566 --> 00:18:38,146
Ooh, yeah.
327
00:18:38,246 --> 00:18:40,986
Peter Carey came from Bacchus Marsh.
328
00:18:42,606 --> 00:18:47,866
And Cath Claringbold,
who is apparently a celebrity chef.
329
00:18:51,306 --> 00:18:52,226
What is it?
330
00:18:53,586 --> 00:18:54,866
The batphone message?
331
00:18:57,306 --> 00:18:58,226
Someone died?
332
00:19:00,666 --> 00:19:03,786
I um, have to go and see Kate.
333
00:19:03,886 --> 00:19:04,786
Immediately.
334
00:19:04,886 --> 00:19:06,386
Something breaking?
335
00:19:07,906 --> 00:19:10,946
It might be about to.
On Late Edition.
336
00:19:11,046 --> 00:19:12,346
Do what you've got to do.
337
00:19:12,446 --> 00:19:13,826
Ollie?
338
00:19:15,406 --> 00:19:17,348
I do know people at Late Edition.
339
00:19:18,666 --> 00:19:20,800
Just um... I'll be back.
340
00:19:30,731 --> 00:19:34,011
Hey, Kez. Is Kate...
Hey. Yeah, yeah. Kate's here.
341
00:19:34,152 --> 00:19:36,092
Oh, good. Can I...
Yeah, go on.
342
00:19:38,332 --> 00:19:40,332
...she's very sensitive.
343
00:19:40,432 --> 00:19:42,452
Geoff. Uh, hi.
344
00:19:42,552 --> 00:19:43,812
Oliver.
345
00:19:43,912 --> 00:19:45,332
Yes, of course. Come in.
346
00:19:45,472 --> 00:19:48,452
- No, is Kate...
- Hi.
347
00:19:48,552 --> 00:19:49,452
Hi.
348
00:19:51,452 --> 00:19:54,864
So, we are doing an interview
first thing tomorrow morning.
349
00:19:54,872 --> 00:19:55,772
Did Wayne tell you?
350
00:19:55,852 --> 00:19:56,972
Mm? No.
351
00:19:57,112 --> 00:20:00,332
Probably off
doing backflips of delight.
352
00:20:00,472 --> 00:20:02,172
Journo's coming all the way
out here.
353
00:20:02,312 --> 00:20:04,812
We're just going to do it
in the motel cafe first thing.
354
00:20:04,912 --> 00:20:06,252
Lyn Randall? You know her?
355
00:20:06,392 --> 00:20:10,012
Not personally. I've read her stuff.
Yeah, she's good. Good tone.
356
00:20:10,112 --> 00:20:12,212
Won't let it be sensationalist.
357
00:20:12,352 --> 00:20:13,992
Do you think we could...
Some debate prep?
358
00:20:14,017 --> 00:20:14,892
That would be great.
359
00:20:15,032 --> 00:20:17,150
Why don't you go
and find us a space?
360
00:20:17,272 --> 00:20:19,978
I'll just be a couple of minutes.
I'll do that.
361
00:20:21,232 --> 00:20:22,492
See you.
See you.
362
00:20:24,972 --> 00:20:26,772
...possibly some throws.
363
00:20:26,912 --> 00:20:29,383
We just need to make it look
like it's a...
364
00:20:29,432 --> 00:20:32,852
Somewhere that Kate and Geoff
would share a coffee.
365
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:36,152
Candles? Certainly. Thank you.
366
00:20:36,232 --> 00:20:37,932
Please, yes. I've got to go.
367
00:20:38,032 --> 00:20:39,503
Yes, hello. What's wrong?
368
00:20:39,552 --> 00:20:41,172
N-Nothing.
369
00:20:41,312 --> 00:20:43,852
Doing the photoshoot
and the interview
370
00:20:43,952 --> 00:20:45,541
first thing in the morning.
371
00:20:45,592 --> 00:20:47,772
Has Late Edition contacted you?
372
00:20:47,852 --> 00:20:50,692
Yes. They always contact me.
373
00:20:50,792 --> 00:20:52,252
Why?
374
00:20:52,392 --> 00:20:54,732
Like in the past day or so,
like today?
375
00:20:54,832 --> 00:20:56,732
Yes, several times. Why?
376
00:20:58,232 --> 00:21:02,852
Tom heard a whisper
that they were doing... something.
377
00:21:04,112 --> 00:21:05,052
Regarding Kate.
378
00:21:06,632 --> 00:21:09,691
It's probably nothing.
Oh, they never give specifics.
379
00:21:09,712 --> 00:21:12,292
It's always, "Explosive scandal!
380
00:21:12,392 --> 00:21:13,569
"Story of the year."
381
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:17,084
They never give any details.
It's probably a massive bluff.
382
00:21:18,672 --> 00:21:19,812
Ready?
Yeah.
383
00:21:27,072 --> 00:21:29,332
Strong signs?
Yeah.
384
00:21:29,472 --> 00:21:31,652
Any idea what those
strong signs are?
385
00:21:31,792 --> 00:21:33,812
Wayne says they've been
ringing us as well,
386
00:21:33,912 --> 00:21:36,030
and he's been deliberately ignoring.
387
00:21:37,512 --> 00:21:39,812
Was it... It might not be.
I mean, it could be anything.
388
00:21:39,952 --> 00:21:42,364
Well, do you want to ask
for more details?
389
00:21:47,532 --> 00:21:52,652
I'm just saying,
"Whatever happens, as per agreement,
390
00:21:52,752 --> 00:21:54,572
"we deny everything."
391
00:21:57,032 --> 00:21:58,412
We're covered for this.
392
00:21:58,492 --> 00:21:59,963
Mutual denial, we agreed.
393
00:22:01,592 --> 00:22:05,612
That was just... his word.
394
00:22:10,112 --> 00:22:11,212
First question.
395
00:22:14,432 --> 00:22:17,772
"Kate Ballard, why is
your government placing limits
396
00:22:17,912 --> 00:22:20,383
"on investment
in regional infrastructure?"
397
00:22:45,992 --> 00:22:48,404
Kate, you probably should
be heading back.
398
00:23:07,172 --> 00:23:10,332
I'd suggest kicking off with
an apology, simple and sincere.
399
00:23:10,432 --> 00:23:11,572
Oh, can I just get a coffee first?
400
00:23:11,712 --> 00:23:13,772
We'll get a coffee in there.
We're already 15 late.
401
00:23:13,912 --> 00:23:15,932
Now, if you clear
the 'fucktard' comment,
402
00:23:16,072 --> 00:23:17,552
I think he'll be
much more reasonable.
403
00:23:17,672 --> 00:23:19,612
What?
404
00:23:19,752 --> 00:23:21,312
Well, I've had, like,
three hours sleep.
405
00:23:21,352 --> 00:23:22,772
A fairly short fuse right now.
406
00:23:22,872 --> 00:23:23,772
Take it, take it.
407
00:23:23,872 --> 00:23:25,532
Charlotte Wynn?
408
00:23:25,672 --> 00:23:27,852
Charlotte, it's Tash again.
Late Edition.
409
00:23:27,952 --> 00:23:29,423
You never got back to me.
410
00:23:29,432 --> 00:23:30,332
Hi, Tash.
411
00:23:30,472 --> 00:23:32,932
Yeah, look, I've spoken to the man,
and we're not going to come in.
412
00:23:33,032 --> 00:23:34,192
Not without more information.
413
00:23:34,312 --> 00:23:37,112
So, whatever the story is, just run
it and we'll consider our response.
414
00:23:37,132 --> 00:23:38,572
It's either false or very minor.
415
00:23:38,712 --> 00:23:41,072
Mm-hm. Well, either you're
lying to me or he's lying to you.
416
00:23:41,112 --> 00:23:44,252
Look, Charlotte,
this is an epic story.
417
00:23:44,352 --> 00:23:45,772
You know I wouldn't lie about that.
418
00:23:45,912 --> 00:23:48,432
And we wouldn't air it unless
we had some really solid evidence,
419
00:23:48,472 --> 00:23:49,492
like testimonies.
420
00:23:49,592 --> 00:23:50,652
Can we stop playing games?
421
00:23:50,792 --> 00:23:52,252
Just give me some indication
of what this is...
422
00:23:52,392 --> 00:23:54,212
Well, I can tell you
that this entire election
423
00:23:54,352 --> 00:23:56,092
is going to be measured
before and after this story.
424
00:23:56,232 --> 00:23:58,372
Tash, we've always had
a pretty good relationship,
425
00:23:58,472 --> 00:24:00,192
a mutually beneficial relationship.
426
00:24:00,332 --> 00:24:02,212
I don't understand
why you put that at risk now.
427
00:24:02,237 --> 00:24:04,052
Because ultimately,
this story is worth it.
428
00:24:04,132 --> 00:24:05,932
I'm sorry, Charlotte. Goodbye.
429
00:24:12,092 --> 00:24:14,292
Yeah, yeah. That was...
430
00:24:14,432 --> 00:24:17,292
No, I can see...
I can see the error of my ways.
431
00:24:17,392 --> 00:24:18,492
Well, right off the bat,
432
00:24:18,632 --> 00:24:21,852
I just want to apologise
for the incident yesterday.
433
00:24:21,992 --> 00:24:24,032
Obviously, there is no place
for language like that.
434
00:24:24,072 --> 00:24:27,602
I do hope we can get back on track
and move forward together.
435
00:24:28,032 --> 00:24:29,932
We appreciate those sentiments.
436
00:24:31,592 --> 00:24:34,240
So, have you had a chance yet
to talk about...
437
00:24:34,272 --> 00:24:36,972
I don't think there's much to say.
438
00:24:37,072 --> 00:24:39,132
Right.
439
00:24:39,272 --> 00:24:40,912
We think it's been
marvellously effective.
440
00:24:40,937 --> 00:24:44,772
And the thing to do now is to
let it sit, let it percolate.
441
00:24:44,912 --> 00:24:47,292
Dear God...
I mean, that's embarrassing.
442
00:24:47,432 --> 00:24:50,132
There is a lot of resentment about
the comment, particularly online.
443
00:24:50,232 --> 00:24:52,052
The 'mummy blogs' are in meltdown.
444
00:24:52,132 --> 00:24:53,252
Good.
445
00:24:53,392 --> 00:24:55,452
As we see it,
people are thinking two things.
446
00:24:55,632 --> 00:24:59,812
Either A - Ballard could have a baby
and therefore would be
a compromised leader.
447
00:24:59,952 --> 00:25:03,652
Or B - it won't be a problem
because she's chosen to be barren
448
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:05,332
because she has no heart.
449
00:25:05,472 --> 00:25:07,172
Either way, it's working.
450
00:25:07,312 --> 00:25:09,732
A lot of prominent figures
are leaping to her defence.
451
00:25:09,872 --> 00:25:11,772
Yeah, but News.com did
an online poll,
452
00:25:11,912 --> 00:25:14,265
and they saw that
64% of female voters...
453
00:25:14,312 --> 00:25:16,952
Sorry, can we just stop worrying
about what other people are saying
454
00:25:17,052 --> 00:25:18,392
and just make a bloody judgment?
455
00:25:18,492 --> 00:25:20,652
I for one find it objectionable.
456
00:25:20,792 --> 00:25:23,012
So I should go out,
with Charlotte by my side,
457
00:25:23,152 --> 00:25:25,092
and say I've entrusted
my whole campaign
458
00:25:25,232 --> 00:25:26,672
to someone who's
six months pregnant.
459
00:25:26,697 --> 00:25:27,933
That's where I stand.
460
00:25:29,552 --> 00:25:33,372
Well, I certainly believe it was
a reasonable comment
461
00:25:33,512 --> 00:25:36,052
and one that reflects
our voter base.
462
00:25:36,152 --> 00:25:37,692
Thank you.
463
00:25:45,692 --> 00:25:47,892
Fuck me, he's got to go.
464
00:25:47,992 --> 00:25:49,292
It's alright, I can make a play.
465
00:25:49,432 --> 00:25:51,012
Divided parties never win
elections David. Never.
466
00:25:51,112 --> 00:25:52,252
Yeah, yeah, no. I know.
467
00:25:52,392 --> 00:25:54,052
We've just gotta frame it
like it's a show of strength.
468
00:25:54,152 --> 00:25:55,232
Like it's ballsy, you know?
469
00:25:55,257 --> 00:25:57,669
Yes, David, enormous balls.
And pro-women.
470
00:25:57,672 --> 00:25:59,932
Enormous feminist balls. Fantastic.
471
00:26:00,072 --> 00:26:02,353
If I do nothing, he's just going to
sit there like poison,
472
00:26:02,378 --> 00:26:03,212
you know that?
473
00:26:03,312 --> 00:26:04,852
Disunity is poison.
474
00:26:07,432 --> 00:26:10,052
And that was Tash again
from Late Edition.
475
00:26:10,192 --> 00:26:12,732
They're holding firm that
they've got the story of the year
476
00:26:12,832 --> 00:26:14,132
airing tomorrow night.
477
00:26:14,272 --> 00:26:17,861
David, you haven't screwed
Kylie Minogue or someone, have you?
478
00:26:19,512 --> 00:26:21,772
As I said before, it's a denial.
479
00:26:21,912 --> 00:26:24,265
They say they have testimonies.
From who?
480
00:26:26,152 --> 00:26:27,052
Denial.
481
00:26:34,766 --> 00:26:35,846
OK, great.
482
00:26:35,986 --> 00:26:38,566
Can we get some flowers here,
please?
483
00:26:38,666 --> 00:26:40,086
Ladies? Thank you.
484
00:26:40,226 --> 00:26:42,462
Yeah, I am also noticing
a lot of grey.
485
00:26:43,546 --> 00:26:46,366
Thank you. Let's lose
the empty vessel.
486
00:26:46,466 --> 00:26:47,606
Thank you.
487
00:26:47,746 --> 00:26:50,926
Quick question, Adam,
can the wall be out of focus
488
00:26:51,026 --> 00:26:53,886
so it's Kate, Geoff, and then blur?
489
00:26:54,026 --> 00:26:56,206
Yep, sure.
Fantastic.
490
00:26:56,306 --> 00:26:57,726
OK.
491
00:26:57,826 --> 00:26:59,166
Um... great.
492
00:26:59,306 --> 00:27:01,606
Thank you.
Yeah, that would be great.
493
00:27:07,806 --> 00:27:09,806
Could you just give us one minute?
494
00:27:16,606 --> 00:27:18,326
Is this the right thing?
495
00:27:18,426 --> 00:27:21,286
We've always said three rules -
496
00:27:21,426 --> 00:27:23,966
don't lie,
don't campaign negatively,
497
00:27:24,066 --> 00:27:26,206
keep our private lives private.
498
00:27:26,306 --> 00:27:27,766
What are we doing?
499
00:27:27,866 --> 00:27:30,166
We also said if you want to win,
500
00:27:30,306 --> 00:27:32,659
there are going to have to be
trade-offs.
501
00:27:45,366 --> 00:27:47,766
Hi, Lyn.
Hi. Sorry to keep you waiting.
502
00:27:50,006 --> 00:27:52,595
OK, if you just want
to look at each other...
503
00:27:53,446 --> 00:27:54,366
That's it.
504
00:27:54,466 --> 00:27:56,286
Great, that's nice.
505
00:27:57,606 --> 00:27:58,966
And Kate, look forward to camera.
506
00:27:59,066 --> 00:28:01,606
And Geoff, you stay looking at Kate.
507
00:28:01,706 --> 00:28:03,086
That's good.
508
00:28:03,186 --> 00:28:04,686
Nice.
509
00:28:04,826 --> 00:28:07,121
And Geoff, bit of a smile at me,
please.
510
00:28:10,166 --> 00:28:11,166
Big breath, big smile.
511
00:28:11,266 --> 00:28:12,286
Hey.
512
00:28:12,426 --> 00:28:15,366
Where are you? I'm back.
I'm just by the campaign bus.
513
00:28:15,466 --> 00:28:16,966
Um, yeah.
514
00:28:17,066 --> 00:28:18,846
Just hang on a second.
515
00:28:26,506 --> 00:28:28,286
What's going on?
Don't freak out.
516
00:28:28,386 --> 00:28:30,206
I made some calls before,
517
00:28:30,346 --> 00:28:32,386
just to see if Late Edition
actually had anything...
518
00:28:32,411 --> 00:28:33,126
What?
519
00:28:33,266 --> 00:28:35,346
Now, I kept it really cool.
I didn't reveal anything.
520
00:28:35,371 --> 00:28:37,806
I just spoke to Sal,
the promo editor.
521
00:28:37,946 --> 00:28:42,806
She said that it's an expose
about an affair with David McLeod.
522
00:28:45,166 --> 00:28:46,086
It was him?
523
00:28:51,326 --> 00:28:52,286
Yeah.
524
00:28:56,226 --> 00:28:57,406
Just come this way.
525
00:28:59,946 --> 00:29:04,086
I knew in about, oh,
four and a half minutes.
526
00:29:04,226 --> 00:29:08,086
She was the smartest woman
I'd ever met and the most beautiful.
527
00:29:08,186 --> 00:29:10,326
And still only in her 20s.
528
00:29:10,406 --> 00:29:12,646
Hard to believe she existed.
529
00:29:12,786 --> 00:29:14,266
And was it just as fast
for you, Kate?
530
00:29:14,291 --> 00:29:16,126
It was fast, yes.
531
00:29:16,266 --> 00:29:18,846
Ooh, she took some convincing,
trust me.
532
00:29:18,986 --> 00:29:23,566
Right from the start,
I was taken with Geoff's energy.
533
00:29:23,666 --> 00:29:25,606
He just...
534
00:29:25,746 --> 00:29:28,686
He made things happen
without hesitation.
535
00:29:28,826 --> 00:29:34,286
And when you were around him it felt
like... you could achieve anything.
536
00:29:36,086 --> 00:29:38,381
In her case,
I believed that to be true.
537
00:29:38,466 --> 00:29:40,326
And I was right.
538
00:29:41,886 --> 00:29:43,769
Was the age gap an issue at all?
539
00:29:43,786 --> 00:29:45,446
A 27-year-old with a 40-year-old?
540
00:29:45,546 --> 00:29:47,076
How did your family react?
541
00:29:48,086 --> 00:29:51,446
Well, for them, it wasn't
so much the age difference.
542
00:29:51,586 --> 00:29:55,486
I think it was Geoff looming
so large as a businessman.
543
00:29:55,626 --> 00:29:58,366
They were worried that I'd just be
Geoff Ballard's wife.
544
00:29:58,506 --> 00:30:01,886
Of course, the opposite is true.
I'm the handbag.
545
00:30:07,266 --> 00:30:10,606
Sal said that two days ago
they were told to source
546
00:30:10,746 --> 00:30:12,886
all of David's
old interview footage.
547
00:30:13,026 --> 00:30:17,006
So they're going to play old
interviews that they did together.
548
00:30:17,146 --> 00:30:19,166
Yeah, but have they got sources?
Evidence? Something like that?
549
00:30:19,306 --> 00:30:20,986
She said there's an interview
with someone.
550
00:30:21,011 --> 00:30:22,286
Not David himself?
551
00:30:22,386 --> 00:30:23,666
She didn't know all the details.
552
00:30:23,691 --> 00:30:26,366
She thought there was some
sort of witness, like Linda Tripp.
553
00:30:26,506 --> 00:30:28,026
And apparently they shot it
last night.
554
00:30:28,051 --> 00:30:28,966
Who's Linda Tripp?
555
00:30:29,106 --> 00:30:31,486
She's the woman who blabbed
about Clinton and Lewinsky.
556
00:30:31,626 --> 00:30:35,406
She also said that they're giving
half of tomorrow's show to it
557
00:30:35,546 --> 00:30:38,686
and the promo is,
"The explosive secret
558
00:30:38,826 --> 00:30:41,003
"that will rock
this year's election."
559
00:30:42,426 --> 00:30:44,206
Kate seems to think
they can deny it,
560
00:30:44,346 --> 00:30:48,229
but he just messaged through, saying
"May not be possible to deny."
561
00:30:52,086 --> 00:30:55,046
Wait... Those messages
are actually from him?
562
00:30:55,206 --> 00:30:58,030
You're getting direct messages
from David McLeod?
563
00:31:00,886 --> 00:31:02,945
She should really give you a raise.
564
00:31:05,366 --> 00:31:07,484
Ollie, I've got to
ask you something.
565
00:31:08,146 --> 00:31:09,126
Give it to me.
566
00:31:10,286 --> 00:31:11,846
Give me the story.
We could beat them.
567
00:31:11,986 --> 00:31:13,686
There's still
thirty-something hours.
568
00:31:13,786 --> 00:31:16,086
We break it first with a tell-all.
569
00:31:16,226 --> 00:31:19,526
I'd be sympathetic.
I'd help reduce the fallout.
570
00:31:21,526 --> 00:31:22,526
I'm sorry to have to ask.
571
00:31:22,666 --> 00:31:26,206
And don't answer now,
just know that it's an option.
572
00:31:28,826 --> 00:31:30,944
I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.
573
00:31:36,701 --> 00:31:38,641
Do you talk shop?
Sometimes, yes.
574
00:31:38,740 --> 00:31:40,800
A bit too much.
575
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,400
Generally, I'll be saying to him,
576
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:44,840
"Just calm down, consider things."
577
00:31:44,980 --> 00:31:47,720
And he'll be saying to me,
"Oh, stand up and fight."
578
00:31:47,860 --> 00:31:50,760
Since she's been premier,
I've had to be a bit more careful.
579
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:53,480
She hears endless opinions,
all day long.
580
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:56,120
The last thing she needs
is to listen to me banging on
581
00:31:56,220 --> 00:31:58,080
when she comes home.
582
00:31:58,180 --> 00:31:59,560
I miss it, actually.
583
00:31:59,660 --> 00:32:01,800
You miss giving your opinion?
584
00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:03,080
No.
585
00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:04,320
I miss my friend.
586
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,880
Sometimes.
587
00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:14,240
So, did you ever imagine
starting a family?
588
00:32:16,660 --> 00:32:19,280
We did, yes, certainly. We did.
589
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Like a lot of couples,
we thought it'd just happen.
590
00:32:23,780 --> 00:32:26,320
And like a lot of couples,
it didn't.
591
00:32:27,540 --> 00:32:31,080
We tried for some years
without success.
592
00:32:31,220 --> 00:32:33,515
I imagine that
must have been difficult.
593
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,680
It was an adjustment.
594
00:32:38,780 --> 00:32:43,760
One thing we both have in common is
we're both very tenacious people.
595
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:48,640
So... to have something like that
out of reach...
596
00:32:48,780 --> 00:32:53,280
But it led to a period of
reflection, which is always good.
597
00:32:55,260 --> 00:32:56,880
To be honest,
I asked Kate to leave me.
598
00:32:57,020 --> 00:33:00,680
Knowing I was limiting her,
it gutted me.
599
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,360
Clearly she didn't leave you.
600
00:33:04,460 --> 00:33:07,680
No, no. Loyal to a fault.
601
00:33:10,780 --> 00:33:13,800
I'm sure it would have been
a rich and rewarding experience
602
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:15,520
to be a mother,
603
00:33:15,660 --> 00:33:17,778
but we have rich
and rewarding lives.
604
00:33:20,020 --> 00:33:21,720
I'm content.
605
00:33:21,820 --> 00:33:23,480
I'm satisfied.
606
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:27,240
And I am incredibly excited
and passionate about my future.
607
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,200
And the future of the state.
608
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,920
Thank you both so much.
609
00:33:34,020 --> 00:33:35,040
Thank you.
610
00:33:38,620 --> 00:33:40,973
Thanks so much for that, Wayne.
Any time.
611
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,600
OK.
612
00:33:55,820 --> 00:33:57,080
See you at home tomorrow then?
613
00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:58,080
OK.
614
00:34:03,420 --> 00:34:06,200
I need two minutes with Kate. Now.
615
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:07,889
She can see you on the bus.
616
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:12,900
Kez? I need two minutes with Kate,
somewhere private,
617
00:34:12,925 --> 00:34:14,880
just me and her,
before we get on the bus.
618
00:34:14,980 --> 00:34:17,440
OK, well, just wait down the side.
619
00:34:26,060 --> 00:34:28,080
Thanks, Kez. OK.
620
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,360
They do know.
621
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:34,120
Late Edition. They've got the story
of you and David.
622
00:34:34,260 --> 00:34:36,160
They're going to air it
tomorrow night.
623
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:38,830
Tom heard about it
from someone on the show.
624
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,880
OK. We deny.
625
00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:46,960
We knew this was a possibility
and we agreed...
626
00:34:47,060 --> 00:34:50,240
I also got this text from David.
627
00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:52,760
"May not be possible to deny."
628
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,520
He sent it about half an hour ago.
629
00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:59,400
Apparently Late Edition
has an interview with someone.
630
00:34:59,540 --> 00:35:01,776
I don't know who.
A witness? Something.
631
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:08,760
You're calling him?
632
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:11,880
Just go back to the bus.
I'll meet you in a sec.
633
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:21,920
The heavily decomposed corpse
634
00:35:22,060 --> 00:35:24,900
of a 73-year-old body was discovered
in the early hours of this morning,
635
00:35:24,925 --> 00:35:27,160
lying on the ground
in a field 30km...
636
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:29,540
Hi, I'm kind of in the middle
of something at the moment.
637
00:35:29,565 --> 00:35:31,154
We need to speak right now.
638
00:35:33,180 --> 00:35:35,357
Can you pull over
and wave the bus on?
639
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:54,920
Alright, I've got 30 seconds.
640
00:35:55,060 --> 00:35:58,640
Just calling to confirm that
whatever goes to air tomorrow night,
641
00:35:58,780 --> 00:36:01,480
as per agreement,
we're both going to deny.
642
00:36:01,620 --> 00:36:03,680
Well, depending on what they have.
No.
643
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:05,251
There were no conditions.
644
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:07,280
Yeah, apparently they've got this...
this...
645
00:36:07,380 --> 00:36:09,080
Interview, I know. But...
646
00:36:09,180 --> 00:36:10,960
Yeah, with a witness.
647
00:36:11,060 --> 00:36:13,000
Do you know who this witness is?
648
00:36:13,100 --> 00:36:14,000
No.
649
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:17,100
No, I don't.
650
00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:21,560
I'm the one that hasn't told anyone.
You tell me.
651
00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:24,240
We had an agreement to deny...
652
00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:26,640
Yes, and I will do that
if at all possible.
653
00:36:26,780 --> 00:36:28,720
But that depends.
On what?
654
00:36:28,820 --> 00:36:31,040
On what this witness has to say.
655
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:35,440
You've never had any intention
of denying.
656
00:36:35,540 --> 00:36:37,160
Oh, my God!
657
00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:39,480
I can't believe I deluded myself
into thinking
658
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:42,000
that you were going to...
Do you know how offensive this is?
659
00:36:42,140 --> 00:36:45,080
You constantly think I'm trying
to use this, us, to win?
660
00:36:45,220 --> 00:36:46,700
What kind of person
do you think I am?
661
00:36:46,725 --> 00:36:47,960
I think you're ambitious.
662
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:50,440
And I think possibly
this was always the strategy -
663
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:52,120
to placate me and then fuck me over.
664
00:36:52,220 --> 00:36:54,680
Oh, for fuck's sake!
665
00:36:54,820 --> 00:36:57,840
You know... I thought that
just maybe, somehow,
666
00:36:57,980 --> 00:37:00,560
we could get through this
with some skerrick of respect.
667
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:01,560
Oh, please...
668
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:04,200
But this, this constant doubting,
this suspicion.
669
00:37:04,340 --> 00:37:06,160
The type of tactics
coming from your side,
670
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:07,540
the stuff that Paula was saying.
671
00:37:07,565 --> 00:37:09,330
Yeah, that's a separate issue.
672
00:37:09,340 --> 00:37:10,680
It's about respect,
and your lack of it.
673
00:37:10,820 --> 00:37:12,380
What about
the 'pregnant premier' thing?
674
00:37:12,420 --> 00:37:13,656
Well, that wasn't me!
675
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,320
David, this is an election campaign.
676
00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:22,040
What did you think
was going to happen?
677
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:24,520
No-one goes easy on anyone.
678
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,960
I wanted to get through this
honouring what we had.
679
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:33,865
But now I think,
"Why the fuck should I bother?"
680
00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:37,200
And frankly, Kate,
I don't need this to win.
681
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,248
I'm going to win regardless.
682
00:38:09,260 --> 00:38:10,700
Yeah, if you could
just let them know
683
00:38:10,725 --> 00:38:12,667
that we're slightly delayed. Yes.
684
00:38:15,860 --> 00:38:17,400
You OK?
685
00:38:18,820 --> 00:38:20,700
What's the last thing
on the schedule for today?
686
00:38:20,725 --> 00:38:23,255
Is it debate prep?
Yeah, I think it is, yes.
687
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,640
We're going to head back
to the city.
688
00:38:26,740 --> 00:38:28,440
We're going to head home.
689
00:38:28,540 --> 00:38:29,760
Why?
690
00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:31,720
We're pulling over.
What? What?
691
00:38:31,820 --> 00:38:33,280
Why, Wayne?
692
00:38:33,380 --> 00:38:35,263
We've got ourselves a crossover.
693
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,160
What?
694
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:39,680
Ah, yeah, sorry, Joe.
I'll call you right back.
695
00:38:39,780 --> 00:38:40,680
We've got a crossover.
696
00:38:40,780 --> 00:38:42,120
McLeod's campaign is approaching
697
00:38:42,260 --> 00:38:43,980
'cause of our late departure
from the hotel.
698
00:38:44,005 --> 00:38:46,594
We've ended up
with a campaign bus crossover.
699
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,480
Well, tradition dictates
that we stop and get a photo
700
00:38:50,580 --> 00:38:51,860
of the candidates crossing over.
701
00:38:51,885 --> 00:38:52,785
Nup.
702
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,111
All you have to do
is shake the man's hand.
703
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,120
OK.
704
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,960
Good. Wonderful.
705
00:39:08,060 --> 00:39:09,600
OK, we're good to go.
706
00:39:09,740 --> 00:39:12,360
It's... We're going to stop
at that citrus stall
707
00:39:12,460 --> 00:39:14,680
just near the post office if we can.
708
00:39:17,412 --> 00:39:19,291
Mark, if we could just
line up a shot
709
00:39:19,292 --> 00:39:21,351
so that we get both buses in frame?
710
00:39:24,393 --> 00:39:25,633
Hello. Hello.
711
00:39:26,953 --> 00:39:29,473
Pull a little closer
so the buses are parallel.
712
00:39:29,573 --> 00:39:31,473
Yep.
713
00:39:38,953 --> 00:39:41,873
Where is he?
He's not even in the bus.
714
00:39:41,973 --> 00:39:43,793
He's not even on the bus.
715
00:39:46,913 --> 00:39:48,233
Are you getting this?
716
00:39:48,333 --> 00:39:50,153
He rides in a follow-up car.
717
00:39:50,293 --> 00:39:52,393
You got that?
He doesn't even go on the bus.
718
00:39:52,533 --> 00:39:54,651
That's elitism.
Kate goes on the bus.
719
00:39:54,733 --> 00:39:56,673
Huh? Make sure you...
720
00:40:12,573 --> 00:40:14,873
I look forward to our debate.
As do I.
721
00:40:15,013 --> 00:40:17,033
It'll be good to talk
actual policies.
722
00:40:17,173 --> 00:40:19,673
I've heard very little from you
on that front.
723
00:40:19,773 --> 00:40:21,433
Well, you will. You will.
724
00:40:24,893 --> 00:40:26,273
Would you like to say anything?
725
00:40:26,413 --> 00:40:28,193
David, is there
anything you'd like to say?
726
00:40:28,333 --> 00:40:29,713
David, if you wouldn't mind...
727
00:40:29,853 --> 00:40:31,653
Fantastic day to be a Victorian.
Look at this!
728
00:40:31,678 --> 00:40:34,033
Beautiful,
beautiful countryside here.
729
00:40:34,133 --> 00:40:35,553
We'll see you very soon.
730
00:40:35,693 --> 00:40:37,933
Well, it's
the state political campaign
731
00:40:38,053 --> 00:40:40,793
that has captured the attention
of the nation.
732
00:40:40,893 --> 00:40:42,153
And tomorrow night,
733
00:40:42,293 --> 00:40:46,833
an exclusive revelation that will
define this election campaign.
734
00:40:46,973 --> 00:40:50,173
The secret history,
kept under wraps until now.
735
00:40:50,293 --> 00:40:52,313
It's a game-changing
special report
736
00:40:52,413 --> 00:40:54,473
that you cannot afford to miss.
737
00:41:02,413 --> 00:41:03,393
Thank you.
738
00:41:03,533 --> 00:41:05,416
You're welcome, Miss.
Good night.
739
00:41:09,093 --> 00:41:11,993
I don't know what you're thinking,
but one thing -
740
00:41:12,133 --> 00:41:15,153
if you did want
to beat Late Edition,
741
00:41:15,293 --> 00:41:16,813
you could break this
on your own terms.
742
00:41:16,838 --> 00:41:18,544
You could tell this your way.
743
00:41:20,313 --> 00:41:23,608
I just need to get through
the next few hours with Geoff.
744
00:41:25,753 --> 00:41:26,713
I'll be here.
745
00:41:28,973 --> 00:41:29,873
Tom know?
746
00:41:31,753 --> 00:41:33,233
Yeah. Not from me.
747
00:41:33,373 --> 00:41:35,903
He found out from a contact
at Late Edition.
748
00:41:37,173 --> 00:41:38,353
Did you confirm it?
749
00:41:40,553 --> 00:41:41,953
I guess I did. Yes.
750
00:42:06,473 --> 00:42:09,793
Be certain to talk to
his wife directly, alright?
751
00:42:09,893 --> 00:42:12,073
Yeah. Thanks.
752
00:42:12,173 --> 00:42:15,793
And yeah... No, just hold on a sec.
753
00:42:20,193 --> 00:42:22,953
Yep. No, no. Yep.
754
00:42:23,053 --> 00:42:24,593
Yep, absolutely.
755
00:42:24,733 --> 00:42:27,033
Alright, just update me
tomorrow, Jason. Thank you.
756
00:42:27,173 --> 00:42:31,873
There's been an accident
on one of the Perth sites.
757
00:42:32,013 --> 00:42:35,753
No big deal,
but Legal's got itself in a panic.
758
00:42:35,853 --> 00:42:36,753
Wine?
759
00:42:36,853 --> 00:42:38,993
No, thank you.
760
00:42:39,133 --> 00:42:45,353
Hey, something we said in the
interview has been bugging me.
761
00:42:46,493 --> 00:42:51,073
Saying it was me who encouraged you
to consider running for premier.
762
00:42:52,253 --> 00:42:55,673
I don't know, out of context
it could sound unfortunate.
763
00:42:55,773 --> 00:42:56,713
What do you reckon?
764
00:42:56,853 --> 00:42:59,193
Should we get on to that
or am I overreacting?
765
00:42:59,333 --> 00:43:02,553
Geoff... I need to
tell you something.
766
00:43:02,653 --> 00:43:04,793
What? Everything alright?
767
00:43:08,913 --> 00:43:10,313
I'm sorry.
768
00:43:11,833 --> 00:43:13,793
I'm so sorry.
769
00:43:14,893 --> 00:43:15,793
What is it?
770
00:43:18,813 --> 00:43:20,193
Some while ago...
771
00:43:24,613 --> 00:43:25,873
...I had an affair.
772
00:43:25,973 --> 00:43:27,233
A fleeting affair...
773
00:43:29,913 --> 00:43:31,433
...with David McLeod.
774
00:43:37,253 --> 00:43:38,433
You're not serious.
775
00:43:41,190 --> 00:44:48,257
