00:00
On a campaign trail, no day is the same, but all days have some things in common.
00:08
They start early and they all start in a pretty nondescript hotel room.
00:14
Campaign days have a certain rhythm to them, bag drop, trying to get some quick bite to eat,
00:23
and then get on the bus early to score a seat up the front.
00:28
A normal day has two, three, sometimes four media events.
00:40
The first event is where policy announcements are being made, and it's followed by a press conference,
00:46
where journalists get to ask the question.
00:49
Visits to urgent care clinics have been a staple of the labor campaign,
00:53
and we have been to almost as many clinics as the Dutton campaign has been to petrol stations.
01:05
These visits are pretty quick.
01:07
The Prime Minister arrives, shakes hands, speaks to some clinicians, and thanks them for what they do.
01:19
This is followed by the main press conference.
01:23
Here the Prime Minister can spruik his message, and the journalists ask their questions.
01:31
the press conference is done.
01:35
Once the press conference is done, you get on the bus, go to the airport and board a plane.
01:43
Lunch is served on the plane, at least it comes with a good view.
01:59
Today's flight is to Karratha to visit one of Rio Tinto's port facilities.
02:29
Another weird but common fact of life on the campaign trail is that you get to follow the leader to the most unusual places.
02:39
An iron or shiploader, for example.
02:41
You climb up, you take some pictures, and you climb down.
02:46
And it's all over in 15 minutes.
02:48
You don't have time to take it all in.
03:02
Before you know it, you're back on the plane.
03:04
One last flight and bus ride for the day.
03:21
To reach the hotel, check into another room with white bed linen.
03:34
and then you tell your destination.
03:36
It's still close to vulnerabilizing Monday and RJ, it brings back him up to the front of you in the coming swing basket.
03:40
Last one of those in the row Sul University.
03:42
Here even my своих realidade includes paying attention.
03:44
It's in the moment, thatắcstinggeben��'s way to...
03:47
...a little girl and shiploader.
03:50
Expect Maya being brave, etc.
03:52
They have unlimited waking potential staff flying away,
03:54
but if you don't have time, you vis-a little girl to leave.
03:58
Let's see how to work!
03:59
The next one of those are the obligations you use which one of those are the most right learnings.
