I'm over it. Yeah. I think they should be getting on with the job.
00:07
I'm a bit sick of the elections. I don't know why they just don't put another one in his place.
00:12
I think what's happened is sort of over the top and totally inappropriate for where we're at.
00:17
I think Jeremy Rockliffe's a great guy and he's doing a really great job.
00:20
And it's just Labor just causing problems.
00:24
I actually don't know whether the Labor Party that we've got at the moment would be much better.
00:29
It's going to upset our economy and all sorts of things.
00:32
There's many things that I'm having trouble with. The debt of the stadium, obviously.
00:36
The debt of the spirits is a big stuff up.
00:40
It is a bit remiss of the government to run us down this road.
00:45
When we're in such a state, you know, we have health shifts and everything else.
00:49
We really can't afford a new stadium at this stage, surely.
00:53
I can't see the Liberal Party staying in the way they're going.
00:56
Look at all the homeless people that are starting to kick up around the town now.
00:59
The money can go into more affordable housing, stuff like that.
01:02
Things that people actually need.
01:04
I just want the stadium to go ahead under any Premiership.
01:07
I think our current Premier has done an amazing job sticking to his guns with the stadium.
01:15
And I'm hoping that if Dean Winter gets his way, that the stadium will go ahead.
01:20
Both of them are saying that they're going to support the stadium unless we get 5,000 independents stand.
01:26
Not an awful lot's going to change.
01:28
I think people need to have an IQ kiss or common sense before they enter politics.
01:34
And to remind themselves they're service of the public, not the other way around.
01:41
But if you're dancing, if you're pursuing us who was down.
01:56
But if you're touching on the Villa all right, that's the way to do.
