00:15I'll try that again.

00:23It'd be rather than a keeper thought down that way.

00:26Are these your children? Yes.

00:29Come on in. Come in. Come in. Come in where you can let you see.

00:32Why don't you stand there?

00:34Come on in. Come in so you can see properly.

00:36And your husband. Come in so you can see properly.

00:39There you go. There you go.

00:41Do you reckon you'd hang there while we do this?

00:43Yeah? It's the best seat in the house that you had.

00:47The Honourable Annika Wells, MD, as minister for communications and minister for sport.
