1
00:00:00,319 --> 00:00:02,448
Good morning. Dale Jennings
with the latest news.
2
00:00:02,459 --> 00:00:04,360
Dire Straits have commenced
their Australian tour amidst...
3
00:00:04,371 --> 00:00:06,531
Mate, newsreading... not for everyone.
4
00:00:07,107 --> 00:00:08,467
Is it a vocal thing?
5
00:00:08,899 --> 00:00:11,308
You know, I am a disaster.
6
00:00:11,319 --> 00:00:14,879
But I'm also relentless. I reckon
we can make you a newsreader.
7
00:00:14,924 --> 00:00:19,324
If you or the network
mistreat my husband in any way,
8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,320
the public response will
be utterly devastating.
9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,720
But I think we may have
reached the end of the line.
10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,160
How about I go to the press
11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,909
and detail how I've been treated
by this network after 30 years?!
12
00:00:31,326 --> 00:00:33,560
Noelene confirmed the quote was false.
13
00:00:33,766 --> 00:00:36,233
And you're coming to see
me after the bulletin.
14
00:00:36,244 --> 00:00:39,063
You can come back in on Monday.
You're the best one there, Noel.
15
00:00:39,074 --> 00:00:42,400
Hey, Noelene, would you like to
come out for a drink at the pub?
16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,400
Has anything like this happened
since you were a teenager?
17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,480
The things that I hid are the
things that I don't want to resist.
18
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:52,120
I have these feelings.
They won't go away.
19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,280
But neither will my feelings for you.
20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,320
I love you just the way you are.
And I'm gonna be right next to you.
21
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,360
Good evening. I'm Helen Norville.
22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,640
And I'm Dale Jennings. You
are watching News At Six.
23
00:01:04,175 --> 00:01:05,880
This way, please.
24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,560
And big laugh.
25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,360

- Please thank the Tony Bartuccio Dancers!
- You ready?
51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,120
OK, so, just remember, he's
not gonna stick to the script
52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,400
and he kind of likes it if
you tease him a little bit.
53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,546
What?
54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,040
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo,
whoo, whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!
55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Are we lucky? Yes!
56
00:02:58,030 --> 00:03:01,680
- Well done.
- Now, three more sleeps till election day.
57
00:03:01,769 --> 00:03:04,040
Are we all exhausted yet?
58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,240
I certainly am.
59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Hawke and Howard, Keating and Peacock,
60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,000
well, it's all just a blurry
sea of very bushy eyebrows
61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,120
at this point, isn't it?
62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,440
Now, my next guests have been there
63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,240
for every twist, every turn,
every insult of the campaign,
64
00:03:18,434 --> 00:03:20,040
and they are, of course,
65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,280
News At Six's very own
golden couple of news.
66
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,142
Please welcome the magnificent
67
00:03:25,152 --> 00:03:27,680
Miss Helen Norville
and Mr Dale Jennings.
68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Wow. Wow. What can I say?
69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,240
- You look beautiful.
- Thank you.
70
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,127
- Gerry.
- Good to see you. Yeah.
71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Whoo!
72
00:03:47,713 --> 00:03:49,673
Now, tell me...
73
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:52,760
Oh, is there still anything left
to discuss about this election?
74
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,760
Well, I think this election might be
75
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,811
a lot closer than people think, Gerry.
76
00:03:56,822 --> 00:03:58,080
- Really, Dale?
- Yes.
77
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,760
Well, people are tipping
for a Hawke re-election,
78
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,440
but I'm not so sure, and
like any election night,
79
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,560
there might be some... turns,
some twists, some surprises,
80
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,960
some bad losers,
possibly even some tears.
81
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Mmm. But all of that
will be coming from me.
82
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,080
Now, now, the pair of you.
83
00:04:18,415 --> 00:04:21,640
Two newsreaders in a relationship.
Can we talk about that?
84
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Be careful, Gerry!
85
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,362
Oh, I don't think you can lecture me
86
00:04:24,372 --> 00:04:25,880
about good behaviour, Miss Norville.
87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,920
Your voices are always
so... calm and polished.
88
00:04:31,122 --> 00:04:33,760
What I want to know is what
happens when you have an argument.
89
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,640
Oh, well...
90
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:38,120
Well, we don't really
have any arguments, do we?
91
00:04:38,247 --> 00:04:40,447
Well, I actually find it quite useful.
92
00:04:40,832 --> 00:04:42,120
"Crossing now to the kitchen,
93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,720
where Dale has forgotten
to take out the rubbish."
94
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,760
You spend your whole
working day together,
95
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,760
you read the news together,
you go home together.
96
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,160
That's right. Yeah.
97
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Well, at what point do you
run out of things to say?
98
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,600
Well, the news never stops, Gerry.
99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,490
One always has a lot to talk about,
especially in an election year.
100
00:04:59,501 --> 00:05:00,594
- This is...
- Alright, Dale.
101
00:05:00,605 --> 00:05:02,389
It's not election night yet. At ease.
102
00:05:05,002 --> 00:05:10,640
Now, in 1986, you delivered
us all a newsroom romance.
103
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,739
In 1987...
104
00:05:14,405 --> 00:05:17,480
can we... expect a newsroom wedding?
105
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,040
- Oooh!
- Mmm.
106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,120
"Uh, crossing now to Dale Jennings."
107
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Well, thanks, Helen.
108
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,840
Look, we're just focusing
on this critical election
109
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,040
that we have ahead of us, uh, this year.
110
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,880
It's also a... it's
a jolly fascinating...
111
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,760
Who says "jolly"?
112
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,280
Dale, I told you not to watch it.
113
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,800
Who am I, Santa Claus? I've never
used that adjective in my life!
114
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,360
My favourite was when you referred
to yourself as "the royal one".
115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,667
I did not do that!
116
00:05:48,678 --> 00:05:50,718
Rewind. It's right there on the tape.
117
00:05:50,729 --> 00:05:52,836
We sent specific questions
about the election!
118
00:05:52,847 --> 00:05:55,167
Yeah, but I told you, he
never sticks to the script.
119
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,391
Hey, there's not a history
between you two, is there?
120
00:05:58,402 --> 00:06:00,160
What, a history between... With Gerry?!
121
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,040
- Yeah.
- No!
122
00:06:02,641 --> 00:06:04,440
Are you sure? 'Cause
he was very flirtatious.
123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,920
Oh, are you a bit jealous?
124
00:06:05,979 --> 00:06:07,097
No.
125
00:06:07,107 --> 00:06:08,302
You sure?
126
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,360
Yeah, a little bit, but...
127
00:06:10,618 --> 00:06:11,960
Correct!
128
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,400
Don't be.
129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,840
... on this critical election ahead.
130
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,560
And it's not only an Australian
election this year, it's also...
131
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Newsreader Dale Jennings
there, avoiding my question.
132
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,520
The issue overshadowed
Mr Howard's campaign
133
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,280
in marginal Brisbane seats today.
134
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:57,000
He was quick to respond and
issued one of his strongest
135
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,200
campaign attacks yet
against the government.
136
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,240
The creator of the "banana republic"
137
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,360
is now campaigning like a
treasurer of a banana republic...
138
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,560
Howard called him an "economic vandal"
139
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,600
and Keating fired back and said,
"If the Liberals win government,
140
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,440
you'd need a pair of binoculars
to find the Australian dollar."
141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,640
- Have you seen it?
- Seen what?
142
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,720
- The promo for election night.
- Do we want to?
143
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,800
Promos just delivered it.
They're very proud of it.
144
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,760
The new CEO dictated the copy himself.
145
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,560
Showdown 87... Hawke and Howard.
146
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,520
And News At Six will
give you the winner first.
147
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,240
Our state-of-the-art
Datamax computer system
148
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,840
will deliver the result
at 7:45 guaranteed.
149
00:07:47,311 --> 00:07:48,614
Join Helen Norville and Dale Jennings...
150
00:07:48,625 --> 00:07:50,320
Is that confirmed? Guaranteed?
151
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,800
... with comic interludes
by Gerry Carroll...
152
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,832
- No.
- ... and an Australian exclusive
153
00:07:54,843 --> 00:07:56,829
with federal treasurer Paul Keating.
154
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,200
The biggest names. The fastest results.
155
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Only on the News At Six.
156
00:08:05,087 --> 00:08:07,388
I mean, that can't...
that can't go on air.
157
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,080
It's on air. The print version
is a double-page spread.
158
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,960
Uh...
159
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,000
- Did you sign off on that promo?
- Good morning to you too, Helen.
160
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
A 7:45 guaranteed result?
And an Irish comedian?
161
00:08:25,152 --> 00:08:28,400
Just so you know, that's come
directly from little Charlie himself.
162
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,288
He doesn't know the
first thing about news.
163
00:08:30,299 --> 00:08:33,280
He doesn't see the election
as a news event, Helen.
164
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,760
He sees it more as being a, um...
165
00:08:36,912 --> 00:08:39,160
- a network branding event.
- What?
166
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,880
And he has decided that
our network brand is, uh...
167
00:08:43,426 --> 00:08:44,880
backyard barbecue.
168
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,520
- What does that mean?
- Dennis?
169
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,173
He reckons that networks are
like different kinds of food.
170
00:08:50,184 --> 00:08:53,041
- Yeah?
- So, the ABC is like a plate of vegetables.
171
00:08:53,052 --> 00:08:55,800
But then you have your
roast chook, right?
172
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,760
- Your Sunday lamb!
- Mmm.
173
00:08:58,266 --> 00:08:59,746
Backyard barbecue.
174
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,782
He just wants the tone to be relaxed
175
00:09:04,792 --> 00:09:06,520
and irreverent, OK? That's it, so...
176
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,040
Are you even listening to yourself?
177
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Um, I can check with the data
analyst, but it was my understanding
178
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,800
that 7:45 is more of a
likelihood than a guarantee.
179
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,920
OK, thanks, Noelene, but there's
nothing we can do about that.
180
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,840
Also, I don't think Paul
Keating's an exclusive.
181
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,480
I think he's appearing
on several networks.
182
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,440
OK, thanks again, Noelene!
Nothing we can do about that!
183
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,280
No other news director
would sign off on that.
184
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,680
That is not true, OK?
The ABC has comedians!
185
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,678
You know that guy that
does the impersonations?
186
00:09:28,689 --> 00:09:29,718
Lindsay, shit, we've got to go.
187
00:09:29,729 --> 00:09:31,880
Dale, now that she's
had her little showboat,
188
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,920
I don't want any more hissy fits
about this, because... little, uh...
189
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,200
little Chuck has invested a
lot of money in News At Six
190
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,560
and, mate, he's not happy.
191
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:41,920
- He always seems upbeat.
- Yeah, right. To your face.
192
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,240
Do you know what he called
you two the other night?
193
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,840
"The silver couple of news".
194
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Sometimes you're "the
bronze couple of news",
195
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,680
and sometimes you're dangerously
close to "polished turd" territory.
196
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:53,920
- But our ratings have been consistent.
- Jesus, Dale!
197
00:09:54,211 --> 00:09:56,680
The amount of money he has
spent, he doesn't want consistent,
198
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,840
especially on election night, and
especially given the competition!
199
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,360
Out of the 10 previous
elections that you've hosted,
200
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,000
which ones in particular stand out?
201
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Well, it's hard to go past
'69. Gorton versus Whitlam.
202
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,813
And you were the first
to call that one, correct?
203
00:10:15,824 --> 00:10:20,040
Just after 8pm. Over an
hour before the competition.
204
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,400
Oh.
205
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Well, over the years, you, uh...
206
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,120
you develop an understanding
of the key swing seats.
207
00:10:26,466 --> 00:10:30,106
It paid off in '69, and I'm
sure it will tomorrow night.
208
00:10:31,885 --> 00:10:33,560
What about you, Kay?
209
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,240
Any, uh, childhood memories of
watching Dad on election night?
210
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,520
Uh, I remember always loving it.
211
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520
It's the one night Mum let me
eat sausages and chips for dinner.
212
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,480
Ah.
213
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,040
And will it be sausages this Saturday?
214
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,520
Oh, of course!
215
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,000
With Kay back from London, I'll
be doing all the favourites.
216
00:10:55,637 --> 00:10:58,240
Geoff, Saturday's also the first time
217
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,160
that you'll be in direct competition
with your former colleagues
218
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,000
at the News At Six.
219
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,080
You've had some strong words to say
about the News At Six in the past.
220
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Well, I've said all I
intend to say, Keith.
221
00:11:08,726 --> 00:11:10,875
Yeah, well, nothing to
add a year down the track?
222
00:11:11,357 --> 00:11:13,960
We'd, of course, like
to thank the viewers
223
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,600
for all their cards and letters
224
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,160
and to assure them that
Geoff is absolutely thriving.
225
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,440
The new network is wonderful
226
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,560
and we're just loving living
a little closer to the city.
227
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,760
But can I just ask, have you had
any contact with Helen Norville...
228
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,520
Let's move on, Keith.
229
00:11:33,809 --> 00:11:35,143
Yep. Uh...
230
00:11:35,154 --> 00:11:37,603
Well, uh...
231
00:11:38,899 --> 00:11:42,419
Thank you very much. Um, we might
just get a family photo if we could.
232
00:11:42,504 --> 00:11:44,760
Kay, would you mind just
squeezing up a little bit,
233
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,387
we'll get a family shot?
234
00:11:46,398 --> 00:11:48,269
That'd be great. Thank you.
235
00:11:48,463 --> 00:11:50,745
Big smiles.
236
00:11:50,756 --> 00:11:51,811
Thank you.
237
00:11:51,822 --> 00:11:54,920
We so appreciate it, Cheryl.
238
00:11:55,073 --> 00:11:57,193
Um, are we still on for the 5th?
239
00:11:57,219 --> 00:11:58,760
If that's alright.
240
00:11:58,913 --> 00:12:01,280
I'd hate to get you into
trouble with the News At Six.
241
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,948
Oh, no, no. I just don't tell 'em.
242
00:12:03,959 --> 00:12:05,880
Oh, thank you.
243
00:12:06,089 --> 00:12:08,509
Truly, no-one does it better.
244
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,720
Thank you.
245
00:12:10,977 --> 00:12:12,600
That went well.
246
00:12:13,239 --> 00:12:14,599
Mmm.
247
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,800
I do think it'd be worth doing
a little bit of afternoon radio.
248
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,600
- Evvie...
- Just a couple of interviews...
249
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,880
Enough!
250
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,680
Oh, take the dress. I bought it for you.
251
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,829
I'm OK.
252
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,188
Oh, it looked really lovely,
Kay. Very feminine. Stylish.
253
00:12:33,199 --> 00:12:36,280
Yes. It's the height of '87 style.
254
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,880
You know what they say
about sarcasm, darling.
255
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,320
- "It's the lowest form of wit."
- It's the lowest form of wit.
256
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,840
Why isn't Mum going up?
257
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:53,200
Well, Canberra is a touch
bleak in the wintertime, so...
258
00:12:53,421 --> 00:12:54,960
- You want to escape her?
- No, no, no.
259
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,200
I wouldn't blame you.
260
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,840
Shh.
261
00:12:59,260 --> 00:13:00,540
Wait.
262
00:13:14,299 --> 00:13:15,659
Drive carefully.
263
00:13:30,947 --> 00:13:32,307
You've got a single.
264
00:13:32,318 --> 00:13:34,689
- Dale and Helen are in a full suite.
- Mm-hm.
265
00:13:34,836 --> 00:13:36,200
Per diems.
266
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,720
Um, sorry, if I order room service,
267
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,880
do I use the per diems
or do I charge the room?
268
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,840
Officially, the per diems.
269
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,200
Unofficially, most people charge
the room and pocket the cash.
270
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,600
They also tend to save the
taxi vouchers for personal use.
271
00:13:53,804 --> 00:13:55,840
I'm sure Rob could
tell you all about it.
272
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,960
I don't know what you're
talking about there...
273
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,920
Jean.
274
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,880
Uh, Noels, just before you take off,
275
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,200
could I ask you to have a quick
squiz at that late update script?
276
00:14:04,315 --> 00:14:06,115
- Yes, of course.
- Alright?
277
00:14:06,126 --> 00:14:08,006
- Thanks, Jean.
- Have a good time.
278
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,320
Just, the wording is... weird.
279
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,920
Yeah. I'll help you.
280
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,800
Mmm...
281
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,640
- Hey?
- Mmm?
282
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,920
- How many stars is the hotel?
- Four.
283
00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:47,966
Well, should I see if
I can get a flight up?
284
00:14:48,693 --> 00:14:50,533
We don't have to tell your family.
285
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160
Well, it's just that Helen
and Dale will be there.
286
00:14:53,421 --> 00:14:57,240
Yeah. I thought you wanted to start
telling the office post-election.
287
00:14:57,620 --> 00:14:59,660
Well, not the very next day.
288
00:15:00,179 --> 00:15:02,294
Oh, OK. Mmm.
289
00:15:02,328 --> 00:15:05,760
- But... how about when I get back...
- Mmm?
290
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,400
... I pick you up, and we use
all my taxi vouchers and per diems
291
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,320
and I take you to Sizzler?
292
00:15:11,633 --> 00:15:14,073
Oh, yes!
293
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,480
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
294
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960
OK.
295
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,880
Oh. Wait 30 seconds.
296
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Last time, you came up two steps
behind me and it was really obvious.
297
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:30,599
Yeah, roger that.
298
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,775
- Rob.
- Oh, shit. Sorry. You just told me that.
299
00:15:33,786 --> 00:15:36,160
Sorry. Shh. Shush.
300
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Shhh-ush.
301
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,040
OK. So...
302
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,280
G'day.
303
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,040
Hey, Noelene. How are you?
304
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Hi, guys. How are you
doing? Nice to see you all.
305
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,840
The statistician is
here. No sign of Gerry yet.
306
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,960
What about Geoff?
307
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,560
His network is here.
They're two booths over.
308
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,120
Well, we should go over
and say hello, you know?
309
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,840
- Get it over and done with.
- No, I'm not talking to him.
310
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,400
- This is Trevor, data analyst.
- Hello.
311
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,000
- Helen. Lovely to meet you. Welcome.
- Of course.
312
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,360
- Nice to meet you, Trevor.
- Thank you.
313
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,760
So, we're looking good for 7:45?
314
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,840
Well... just between us...
315
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,480
I think it'll be more like 7:15.
316
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,240
- 7:15! Wow.
- Yeah.
317
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,280
I ran the results for '77, '80 and '83,
318
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,687
and in each case, the system
would have the winner by 7:15.
319
00:16:49,698 --> 00:16:52,320
So it'll be earlier? Great.
320
00:16:52,518 --> 00:16:55,120
I made the assumption
there'd be edible food here tonight.
321
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,200
- I'm guessing that was foolish.
- Hi.
322
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,040
Wow. You honestly expect the
viewers to focus on the politicians?
323
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,920
- Welcome, Gerry.
- How are you, Dale?
324
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Uh, good. Um...
325
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,529
I might go to the...
326
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:07,529
Hey, Ray, can I grab a glass of water?
327
00:17:07,856 --> 00:17:09,560
Thank you.
328
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,280
Wow.
329
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,960
Jesus!
330
00:17:35,229 --> 00:17:37,080
Rob, you look like a
bloody Lowes catalogue.
331
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,200
Well, I got told it was casual.
332
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,240
Yes, mate. The rich
pricks' version of casual!
333
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,240
- Very different.
- Well, should I go and get changed?
334
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,000
It'd take me 25 minutes to
duck back, grab a jacket.
335
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,160
No, no, no, mate. Not enough
time. You've got to go as you are.
336
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,720
Don't want to blot the copybook.
I want an invite on that yacht.
337
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,640
- What yacht?
- He's got a $3 million yacht.
338
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,760
- No.
- Yeah, he does.
339
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,960
- Does he?
- He does, yeah.
340
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,800
- Hello.
- Hey. How are you?
341
00:17:57,906 --> 00:17:59,906
- Follow me.
- Yep. Thank you.
342
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,080
Shit.
343
00:18:08,726 --> 00:18:10,006
Wow.
344
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,800
No shit.
345
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,909
Bigger than the bar at
Young & Jackson's, isn't it?
346
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,400
Here he is.
347
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,080
Gentlemen, how are we?
348
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,040
- Good, thanks, Charlie. How are you?
- Yeah, good, mate.
349
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,185
- What, you off to the races after this?
- Sorry?
350
00:18:26,196 --> 00:18:28,261
You look like one of the old
man's bookies there.
351
00:18:28,272 --> 00:18:29,300
Oh, right. OK. Yeah.
352
00:18:29,311 --> 00:18:31,320
Hey, so, I just saw an
ad for the competition.
353
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,640
Their big interview...
some senator I've never heard of.
354
00:18:34,733 --> 00:18:36,360
We got the bloody treasurer!
355
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,960
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
356
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,440
- That you, Dermot?
- Dennis.
357
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,925
Dennis. Sorry, mate. It was, uh, Noels.
358
00:18:42,118 --> 00:18:43,120
Do I know Noel?
359
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,440
- Yeah, Noelene. She's a producer.
- Noelene. Producer, yes.
360
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,085
She's had about 800
calls to Keating's office.
361
00:18:48,096 --> 00:18:49,332
Wore him down. She's...
362
00:18:49,343 --> 00:18:51,400
Yeah, she's... I made
a call too to Paul.
363
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,760
Yeah, people say I'm a bit like
Keating, actually, you know.
364
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,847
Not physically, of course.
365
00:18:54,858 --> 00:18:57,880
Just a sort of a... certain
gravitas or something.
366
00:18:58,071 --> 00:18:59,720
- Their words, not...
- I see it.
367
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,440
Yeah.
368
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,840
So... just us tonight, boys.
Yeah. Casual seafood buffet.
369
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,640
Grab yourselves a drink,
make yourselves at home, eh?
370
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,724
- Beautiful.
- Yeah.
371
00:19:08,735 --> 00:19:11,375
You, uh... you want to take care
of that, please, love? Beautiful.
372
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,000
Thank you.
373
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,102
Young Dale.
374
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:23,760
- Geoff!
- Good to see you.
375
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,560
Hello.
376
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,800
Hey, congratulations on the new network.
377
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,680
My mother's terribly conflicted
on who to watch tonight.
378
00:19:31,333 --> 00:19:33,133
Is Helen with you?
379
00:19:34,019 --> 00:19:35,031
Yep.
380
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:39,000
I gather you'll be delivering
the result by 7:45 guaranteed.
381
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,280
Well.
382
00:19:43,525 --> 00:19:46,440
I don't fully understand the
computer technology myself, but...
383
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,200
Well, careful what you wish for.
384
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,360
Three hours is a very long time to fill.
385
00:19:53,326 --> 00:19:55,486
- Come on, Paul.
- Yep.
386
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:07,079
- I just saw Geoff.
- I don't care.
387
00:20:07,090 --> 00:20:08,360
30 seconds!
388
00:20:08,562 --> 00:20:10,640
Hey, Noelene, you got
those teeth pictures?
389
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,240
- Teeth pictures?
- Yep.
390
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,920
- Yep. All four.
- Mmm.
391
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,160
Yeah, I thought I could say
392
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,480
what's always stood out to me about
Australian elections is the teeth.
393
00:20:18,753 --> 00:20:20,120
And then we'd super up pictures
394
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:22,760
of Howard, Hawke, Peacock
and Keating's teeth,
395
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,480
and I'd do a comedic
dental assessment of them.
396
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,240
Positions, please!
397
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,800
I'm terrifying you, aren't I?
398
00:20:29,620 --> 00:20:31,820
- No.
- And here we go.
399
00:20:31,906 --> 00:20:33,546
And in 10.
400
00:20:33,557 --> 00:20:37,317
Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
401
00:20:43,853 --> 00:20:45,400
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
402
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,680
and welcome to the National Tally
Room for Election Night 1987.
403
00:20:49,868 --> 00:20:52,274
- I'm Helen Norville.
- And I'm Dale Jennings.
404
00:20:52,285 --> 00:20:54,560
It's a freezing night here
in our nation's capital,
405
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,160
and the tally room is filling
up with hundreds of journalists,
406
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,960
party members, even some
members of the public.
407
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:02,200
All of them are looking
to the boards behind us,
408
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,720
anxiously waiting for
those first crucial results
409
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,240
to start coming through.
410
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,994
Polling booths on the east
coast have already closed...
411
00:21:08,005 --> 00:21:09,845
It's a nice set.
412
00:21:10,244 --> 00:21:11,700
- Very nice.
- ... first votes are counted,
413
00:21:11,710 --> 00:21:14,045
- our computer analyst...
- Good design.
414
00:21:14,056 --> 00:21:15,820
- Yeah.
- ... Trevor Lehmann, will be able to see them
415
00:21:15,831 --> 00:21:18,564
on the News At Six Datamax computer.
416
00:21:18,575 --> 00:21:19,777
Welcome.
417
00:21:19,788 --> 00:21:21,040
Uh, thank you, Helen.
418
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,520
So, what percentage of
votes need to be counted
419
00:21:23,531 --> 00:21:26,808
before you can convincingly
call for a winner?
420
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:28,819
Actually, just 4% or 5%.
421
00:21:30,105 --> 00:21:31,480
Remarkable, isn't it?
422
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,520
And we could reach that point
very early, so stay tuned.
423
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,878
No, we reach that point at 7:45.
424
00:21:36,889 --> 00:21:39,869
Really got to hammer
that, Lindsay. 7:45.
425
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,586
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got a chyron
that's really gonna punch 7:45.
426
00:21:42,597 --> 00:21:44,560
It is coming. It is coming. Mmm.
427
00:21:44,902 --> 00:21:47,920
- You mind if we have a quick flick?
- Oh, not at all.
428
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,480
... live on the desk...
429
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,680
It truly wouldn't be an
election night without him.
430
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,307
I'm so thrilled to
welcome a television icon...
431
00:21:55,467 --> 00:21:57,240
Mr Geoff Walters.
432
00:21:57,459 --> 00:22:00,751
Good evening to viewers across
this vast and great nation.
433
00:22:00,762 --> 00:22:02,162
"And to you too."
434
00:22:02,173 --> 00:22:04,589
It's an honour to be with
you on this most critical of nights.
435
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,000
They're letting him
write his own script!
436
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,920
Mate, this is gonna end in
tears. "In tears."
437
00:22:09,149 --> 00:22:13,149
Well, Paddy, I'm happy to
confirm that from August onward,
438
00:22:13,532 --> 00:22:15,600
I will be on screen five nights a week
439
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,320
with a brand-new show,
The Walters Report.
440
00:22:18,909 --> 00:22:20,630
A half-hour of hard-hitting
current affairs...
441
00:22:20,641 --> 00:22:22,281
- Awful name...
- probing analysis...
442
00:22:22,292 --> 00:22:24,752
- Terrible.
- Oh, are they axing Quizmasters?
443
00:22:24,763 --> 00:22:26,880
... very excited to
have you back on their screens.
444
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,680
But right now, east
coast polls have closed,
445
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,680
so let's cross to Bankstown, where
federal treasurer Paul Keating
446
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,400
is arriving to watch the
results in his home seat...
447
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,680
Wait, Bankstown?
448
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,960
Keating's confirmed
for our desk, isn't he?
449
00:22:41,866 --> 00:22:44,706
Yes. Yes, he is.
450
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,280
- Uh...
- So?
451
00:22:46,538 --> 00:22:48,867
- Yeah. Hey, is this live?
- This is live.
452
00:22:48,878 --> 00:22:51,760
Uh... uh, look, Dennis, do you
want to... want to go call Noelene
453
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,120
just to, uh... to check on her?
454
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,800
- Yep, great. Great idea.
- Marta!
455
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,520
Phone!
456
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,240
Thank you, Marta.
457
00:23:02,641 --> 00:23:04,640
- This guy.
- Oh, great. Thank you.
458
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,360
- You can use it anywhere.
- OK. Thank you.
459
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,280
Thank you.
460
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,640
Tally room. Noelene speaking.
461
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,200
Yes! Hi. Yes, it's... it's Dennis.
462
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,200
So, we just flipped to Geoff's coverage
463
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,360
and there is live footage
of Keating from Bankstown!
464
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,400
- I don't think so.
- Bankstown! Sydney!
465
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,120
- Five hours from you!
- I know where it is.
466
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:27,960
He was always scheduled to
spend the day in Bankstown,
467
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,320
then head to Canberra in the afternoon.
468
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,480
It can't have been live footage.
469
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,200
It WAS live footage, Noelene,
OK? Because it was dark there!
470
00:23:33,633 --> 00:23:35,382
I, er, might call his media adviser.
471
00:23:35,393 --> 00:23:36,760
Give me that thing here!
472
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,920
Listen, you! I've got some
notes for Helen and Dale.
473
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,400
You get a pen and a shitload of paper!
474
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,720
Mm-hm.
475
00:23:52,691 --> 00:23:55,000
- Sorry. Just a couple of notes from Lindsay.
- What?
476
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,120
He doesn't want you to be so vague
about the time of the results.
477
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:58,840
Keep reiterating the 7:45 guarantee.
478
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,640
- Yeah, but it could be earlier.
- I'm just relaying.
479
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,160
Also, the CEO wants a big build-up.
480
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,520
"Get your dinners now. Top up your
drinks. The big moment's coming."
481
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,760
And we're back in 20.
482
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,520
I am not gonna be dictated
to by little Charlie,
483
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,800
especially not live on air.
484
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,320
We can definitely weave
in a little build-up.
485
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,480
No, I'm not gonna say, "Come
on, get your dinners, please."
486
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,160
- It's not Romper Room.
- We don't have to use those words necessarily.
487
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,680
Wrap it up. 10 seconds.
488
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,480
Charlie's rung my staff
with joke suggestions
489
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,640
before three of my
shows... they were all terrible.
490
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,962
Yeah, so you just ignored them, right?
491
00:24:21,973 --> 00:24:23,840
Oh, no, I said them. But
I've got no integrity.
492
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,200
You stick to your guns.
493
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,040
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
494
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,440
and welcome back to Election Night '87.
495
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,960
Where the nation decides.
496
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,520
We have 21% of the vote
counted in the seat of Forde
497
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,760
and appear to be seeing
a swing to the opposition.
498
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,520
Is that right, Geoff?
499
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,160
- Just me.
- That's right, Paddy.
500
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,240
And Forde, as you know, is in Queensland
501
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,840
and it is, of course, a swing seat.
502
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,280
How's he going?
503
00:24:50,239 --> 00:24:52,199
Uh... it's still early.
504
00:24:53,012 --> 00:24:54,640
I got the sausages.
505
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,960
- I'm alright.
- Oh, are you sure?
506
00:24:57,361 --> 00:25:00,160
- It's tradition.
- Yeah, I'll just have a drink, thanks.
507
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,360
Is Scott joining us?
508
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,080
What?
509
00:25:07,452 --> 00:25:09,092
It's over with Scott.
510
00:25:09,586 --> 00:25:11,962
- When did that happen?
- Last week.
511
00:25:12,807 --> 00:25:14,687
Oh, darling.
512
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,040
Come on, Mum. Don't pretend
like you're not happy about it.
513
00:25:18,177 --> 00:25:20,280
No, of course I'm not.
514
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,720
No, he was a very...
515
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,309
He was a pleasant man.
516
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,240
- You hated him.
- No!
517
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,880
No, I just wondered if he
had enough drive for you.
518
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,720
Well, he's pissed off
without paying the rent,
519
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,640
so I don't have that $200.
520
00:25:36,226 --> 00:25:37,466
He's a prick.
521
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,040
Well, do you want your
father to call him about that?
522
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,189
No, it's just... it's $200.
523
00:25:44,385 --> 00:25:47,240
Well, technically, your
father is Scott's landlord...
524
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,480
Mum, I've just told you I've broken up,
525
00:25:49,806 --> 00:25:51,406
and you're chasing rent.
526
00:25:52,619 --> 00:25:53,859
Sorry.
527
00:25:55,893 --> 00:25:57,653
Sure you don't want the sausages?
528
00:25:58,865 --> 00:26:00,400
Fine.
529
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,320
The voting booths were open
at eight o'clock this morning,
530
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,640
and there was an early
morning surge to vote.
531
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,693
By lunchtime, the
crowds had thinned to...
532
00:26:07,704 --> 00:26:09,208
Yes, I called his campaign office.
533
00:26:09,219 --> 00:26:10,819
They directed me to
his electorate office.
534
00:26:10,830 --> 00:26:12,269
Eight. Seven.
535
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,240
He's the treasurer of Australia.
Someone must know where he is.
536
00:26:15,313 --> 00:26:18,206
Can you at least give me the
name of the venue in Bankstown?
537
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,920
Well, we are just a quarter of an
hour away from that crucial moment,
538
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,480
so, Australia, clear away the dinner
plates and top up those drinks,
539
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,240
because as per the News At Six 7:45
guarantee, the moment is imminent.
540
00:26:31,408 --> 00:26:34,160
- So, Trevor, with 4% now counted...
- Yeah, that's better.
541
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,770
... is the Datamax system
showing any emerging trend?
542
00:26:35,781 --> 00:26:37,141
Wouldn't say solid, though, would you?
543
00:26:37,152 --> 00:26:40,149
So far, I can confirm
that the vote is down for Labor,
544
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,000
but not necessarily down evenly.
545
00:26:42,168 --> 00:26:45,080
So there is a negative
swing against the government?
546
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,160
In some places, yes. Definitely
New South Wales, but not in others.
547
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,760
In fact, their vote is up
in some surprising places.
548
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,320
So... yeah, i-it may or
it may not be a swing.
549
00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:59,640
Well, Gerry Carroll
thinks he's identified
550
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,720
a surprising factor at
play in the 1987 campaign.
551
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,320
Gerry, can you illuminate us?
552
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,029
Why, of course, Dale.
553
00:27:06,150 --> 00:27:09,280
Now, for me, this election has
all been about the dental work...
554
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,920
- Is there a problem?
- What? No, no, no, no, no.
555
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,000
I'm just... I'm just,
uh... I'm just inputting.
556
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,360
You said 7:15. It's just turned 7:30.
557
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:18,000
Yeah, well, the program was built
to work off national swing, so...
558
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Is 7:45 at risk, Trevor?
559
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,680
OK, the way it processes
is... is... is... is...
560
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,640
D-d-d-d... Look... look,
I could explain it to you,
561
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,760
or I could just keep inputting
data and actually get us there,
562
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,185
- which is what I think you want.
- ... teeth take up most of his face.
563
00:27:30,196 --> 00:27:33,229
With what little space that's left
being dedicated to his eyebrows,
564
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,820
it leaves you in a position of not
being sure what brush to reach for.
565
00:27:36,831 --> 00:27:37,831
Uh...
566
00:27:37,842 --> 00:27:42,000
Paul Keating, on the other hand,
rarely if ever reveals a tooth,
567
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,480
for obvious reasoning.
568
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,760
Paul, I'm narrowing my focus to
the eight seats I'm listing here.
569
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,265
Could I ask you to update me as
570
00:27:48,275 --> 00:27:50,070
- soon as any of these figures come in?
- Yeah.
571
00:27:50,081 --> 00:27:53,509
And also, let me know what
happens at 7:45 on News At Six.
572
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,880
OK.
573
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,520
800 calls you made... for what?!
574
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,125
His office said they tried to call.
575
00:27:58,136 --> 00:27:59,960
It was a last-minute
change just this afternoon.
576
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,640
The results were looking
tight, so Keating wanted
577
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,600
to stay in Bankstown
instead of come to Canberra.
578
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,680
- Fuck me sideways!
- Just give me this.
579
00:28:06,074 --> 00:28:08,200
Send the link truck to Bankstown
and do it as a live cross.
580
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,560
Well, I HAVE sent a link truck,
but there's a technical issue here.
581
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,360
Our OB van isn't getting return
audio. They can't work out why.
582
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:17,080
But right now, Keating wouldn't be
able to hear us. We need a studio.
583
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,680
Give me that thing, will you?
584
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Listen, Noelene, I want
you to tell me this.
585
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,000
I want to hear it from you
586
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,080
that both our relentlessly
advertised features...
587
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,040
the 7:45 verdict and Paul
fucking Keating live...
588
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,520
has come a gutser!
589
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,800
Y-y... yeah, just...
590
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,400
There's a studio in Parliament House.
591
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,640
They use it for live crosses
every now and then, OK?
592
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,320
You're gonna have to
send Dale or Helen there.
593
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,120
- How far away is it?
- I don't know! It's Canberra!
594
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,240
It's a glorified country town.
595
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,080
Look, I'm just gonna make some
phone calls, right? Just...
596
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,440
- Is that off?! Have I turned it off?
- Er...
597
00:28:44,668 --> 00:28:47,280
I think we'll win, but, uh...
598
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,520
it's just silly to jump in too quickly.
599
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,571
Certainly, you wouldn't be...
600
00:28:51,582 --> 00:28:54,153
So, I hear you're a bit
of a sailing man, Charlie?
601
00:28:55,199 --> 00:28:56,599
Not really.
602
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,720
... and John Mildren's got
some ground to make up. That's one...
603
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,785
You've got one minute, Trevor.
604
00:29:00,796 --> 00:29:03,636
Sorry, I presently
cannot focus my left eye.
605
00:29:03,950 --> 00:29:05,840
I think... I think... I
think that we just have to...
606
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,000
we just have to say that the
guarantee's just not gonna happen.
607
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,200
No, we can't put it like that.
608
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,040
We have to say that we're
in uncharted territory,
609
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,520
that we're on a knife's edge.
610
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,560
But it might not actually
be a knife's edge.
611
00:29:14,678 --> 00:29:16,560
- OK, we're a ship tossed at sea.
- And in 10!
612
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,177
That doesn't even make any sense.
Just take the CEO out of your head.
613
00:29:19,188 --> 00:29:21,323
- I'm not thinking of the CEO.
- Jesus Christ!
614
00:29:21,334 --> 00:29:23,840
"The result has defied the most
advanced computer technology,
615
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,560
- and all we can do is sit and wait."
- OK.
616
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,840
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we
have hit that crucial time of 7:45
617
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,320
and we have found ourselves
in uncharted territory.
618
00:29:34,660 --> 00:29:37,440
They say that the news never stops.
619
00:29:37,570 --> 00:29:40,080
Dale, I think we can add to that.
620
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,400
The news can never truly
deliver a guarantee.
621
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,358
- What, is that a sledge at the promo?
- With 5% of the vote now counted,
622
00:29:46,368 --> 00:29:47,960
the results have defied
623
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,480
our state-of-the-art
Datamax computer system.
624
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,000
- So, ladies and gentlemen...
- Jesus Christ!
625
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,440
... you're just gonna
have to keep watching,
626
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,400
'cause it looks like we're in
for a roller-coaster of a night.
627
00:29:56,539 --> 00:29:59,280
There are a million people
changing the channel right now.
628
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,920
I should... Should I go get Lindsay?
629
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,840
Who dropped the ball
here, mate? Was it Noelene?
630
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,120
Uh, no. Absolutely not. But sh...
I'll just see if I can find him.
631
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Do that, get rid of the data bloke,
632
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,720
and tell Lindsay to get
Keating on that fuckin' desk.
633
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:13,828
Alright.
634
00:30:14,685 --> 00:30:15,760
Hey.
635
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,200
The News At Six didn't call it.
636
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,280
They're still just reading
individual seat results.
637
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,760
I would describe it as very boring.
638
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,040
I need you to give me
one more update on Barton
639
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,753
and, uh... one more on Rankin.
640
00:30:27,764 --> 00:30:29,998
Rankin and Barton. OK.
641
00:30:30,009 --> 00:30:31,289
And, Paddy?
642
00:30:33,073 --> 00:30:34,473
I'd say five minutes.
643
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,240
Five. Four...
644
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,120
Well, let's have a
look at some of the ALP seats
645
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,880
where the Liberal Party is leading.
646
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,920
First up, Chisholm...
Chisholm is in Victoria,
647
00:30:47,064 --> 00:30:51,440
currently held by Helen
Mayer by a margin of 0.2%.
648
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,920
The Liberal Party
candidate, Dr Wooldridge,
649
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,760
has run a very high-profile campaign.
650
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,000
Dr Wooldridge is sitting on
47.6% of the primary vote.
651
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,920
If that trajectory maintains,
652
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,000
Dr Wooldridge will probably
be the new member for Chisholm.
653
00:31:08,353 --> 00:31:09,920
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
654
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,840
Mr Walters has been furiously
doing his sums, and...
655
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,440
and, uh, it looks as though he
has something that he wants to say.
656
00:31:17,820 --> 00:31:19,020
Geoff?
657
00:31:20,134 --> 00:31:21,774
- Yes, Paddy.
- Oh. Kay.
658
00:31:21,785 --> 00:31:25,190
- Now, thus far, we've been focused on the...
- Darling?
659
00:31:25,201 --> 00:31:28,013
... percentage of the overall
vote, but in fact, the result...
660
00:31:28,024 --> 00:31:29,028
Kay?
661
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:31,993
is always going to be dictated
by the number of seats.
662
00:31:32,004 --> 00:31:33,644
- Is he calling it?
- I think so.
663
00:31:33,655 --> 00:31:37,281
The Labor government came in
tonight with a 16-seat advantage.
664
00:31:37,292 --> 00:31:41,160
Their overall vote is clearly
down, but, Paddy, as I see it,
665
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,634
for the Labor government
to lose tonight,
666
00:31:43,645 --> 00:31:47,085
they would need to lose the five
following seats, and they are...
667
00:31:47,372 --> 00:31:50,692
Hinkler, Barton, Rankin, Bendigo and...
668
00:31:51,927 --> 00:31:53,127
Hawker.
669
00:31:54,053 --> 00:31:55,533
As it stands,
670
00:31:55,635 --> 00:32:00,370
I believe Labor can be very
confident holding all five.
671
00:32:01,193 --> 00:32:03,162
So, on the basis of that,
672
00:32:03,173 --> 00:32:07,480
I am prepared to declare
Labor, the Hawke government...
673
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,884
the winner tonight.
674
00:32:09,895 --> 00:32:11,615
... is Peter Paroulakis...
675
00:32:11,626 --> 00:32:13,106
and the Labor...
676
00:32:15,786 --> 00:32:19,866
Well, Dale, it sounds like some good
news has emerged from down there.
677
00:32:20,947 --> 00:32:24,187
You heard it here
first. Geoff Walters...
678
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,520
veteran of so many federal
elections, has declared that...
679
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,760
Ohh! Live telly, eh? It's like
juggling eggs on a roller-coaster!
680
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,080
But, mate, Charlie, I think we're
definitely well and truly on track.
681
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,560
... a convincing victory.
682
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,402
- Walters just called it for Hawke.
- ... convincing, Paddy.
683
00:32:39,413 --> 00:32:42,266
There's clearly a lot of
voter discontent out there,
684
00:32:42,277 --> 00:32:44,440
frankly, both sides, but
ultimately, it was the...
685
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,040
Lindsay? Mmm?
686
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,400
... Coalition losses in Queensland...
687
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,949
Where is Paul Keating?
688
00:32:49,435 --> 00:32:52,160
Do you think this loss will
mark the end of John Howard...
689
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,040
Dennis, where is Paul Keating?
690
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,120
Certainly not. I don't think
so. John Howard put in a...
691
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,467
We might...
692
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,920
We'll go to a break and we'll
be back with so much more,
693
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,400
including, hopefully, that
result in just a moment.
694
00:33:10,453 --> 00:33:12,013
Geoff just called it for Labor.
695
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,400
What? What? No, hang on, hang on.
696
00:33:14,411 --> 00:33:15,760
I-I don't know how you can say that
697
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,256
with so little of the West
Australian vote counted.
698
00:33:17,267 --> 00:33:19,282
Trevor, I'm gonna have to
ask you to step off camera
699
00:33:19,293 --> 00:33:20,722
for the rest of the telecast.
700
00:33:20,733 --> 00:33:22,493
Come on, mate. 30 seconds!
701
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:24,492
I-I-I'm just... 10... 10
minutes. That's all I need.
702
00:33:24,503 --> 00:33:26,889
Dale and Helen will call
the result themselves.
703
00:33:29,019 --> 00:33:31,219
- Yep. OK.
- I'm really sorry.
704
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,268
Um...
705
00:33:34,795 --> 00:33:36,800
- I also have a Keating update.
- Yeah?
706
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,720
I think we still have
him, but not on our desk.
707
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,400
He didn't come to Canberra
this afternoon. I'm so sorry.
708
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,520
There's a link truck already
heading out to him in Bankstown...
709
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,040
OK, so then it's just a cross?
710
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,235
Yes, but unfortunately not with you.
711
00:33:47,246 --> 00:33:50,229
Our OB van is having issues with
return audio. We need a studio.
712
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,280
And the closest studio is
out in Parliament House.
713
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,720
OK, well, that's... that's...
that's 10 minutes. We can do that.
714
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,440
- No. No. Hang on, hang on...
- I can get us there in 10.
715
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,240
Including leaving here and setting
up is probably more like 20,
716
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,240
and Charlie's demanding that
he be interviewed right now.
717
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,040
You get me Charlie Tate
on the phone right now!
718
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,560
- I don't have his number!
- Here we go!
719
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,833
- I don't care what he thinks.
- Helen...
720
00:34:05,844 --> 00:34:07,215
Call Parliament, tell them we're using
721
00:34:07,225 --> 00:34:08,600
the studio. We'll be there right now.
722
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,480
If we don't have a Keating
interview, then all we've got
723
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,360
is a failed guarantee and some
fucking jokes about Hawke's teeth!
724
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,320
Go, go! As fast as you possibly can!
725
00:34:16,906 --> 00:34:20,266
Welcome back to the national
tally room in Canberra,
726
00:34:20,277 --> 00:34:24,917
where a sense of jubilation has taken
root amongst the Labor supporters
727
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,320
with the breaking news
728
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,200
that Bob Hawke will be re-elected
prime minister of Australia
729
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,440
for a historic third term.
730
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:35,560
Um, head out and turn left.
731
00:34:37,812 --> 00:34:39,412
What are your celebration plans now?
732
00:34:39,423 --> 00:34:41,183
Oh, uh, several cups of tea.
733
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,200
This is gonna be the highlight
of the telecast, trust me.
734
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,520
- 30 seconds!
- So, um,
735
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,920
are you just imagining more
comedic observations or...?
736
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,640
Just ask me the same questions
you'd ask a political analyst
737
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,120
and let me answer.
738
00:34:57,146 --> 00:34:58,887
Don't worry about being funny.
739
00:34:59,253 --> 00:35:00,342
Thanks.
740
00:35:00,353 --> 00:35:02,073
- And here we go.
- Hey.
741
00:35:03,813 --> 00:35:06,213
- What's that?
- It's straight vodka.
742
00:35:06,355 --> 00:35:07,880
I haven't had a sip of water all night.
743
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,560
Seven! Six!
744
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,760
Uh, my face goes red with spirits.
745
00:35:12,319 --> 00:35:13,440
You're wearing make-up.
746
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,640
A victorious Bob Hawke
there in Melbourne
747
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,560
after a third election victory,
748
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,880
and with me now is noted
political analyst Mr Gerry Carroll.
749
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:24,319
- So, Gerry...
- Mmm?
750
00:35:24,330 --> 00:35:26,480
You told me that Keating was on his way.
751
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,880
Er, Charlie... it'll be on in a second.
752
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,360
It'll be well worth the wait.
Keating will put on a good show.
753
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,920
You just sit tight.
754
00:35:33,218 --> 00:35:34,720
Uh, well, Dale,
755
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:38,120
I think Johnny will probably move
towards his natural calling in life,
756
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,485
which has always been
suburban solicitor...
757
00:35:40,496 --> 00:35:43,000
- Right.
- ... and I think we should be happy for him.
758
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,800
No, no, no, no, no. Sorry,
I meant the next one. The next one.
759
00:35:46,207 --> 00:35:47,687
Sorry!
760
00:35:53,486 --> 00:35:56,069
So, ultimately, this result
comes as no surprise to you?
761
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,360
Oh, no.
762
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,000
Look, Dale, I have my very
own election barometer,
763
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,320
and it works every time.
764
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,560
What you do is you look at the
number one sportsman in that country
765
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,800
and you ask yourself,
who would they vote for?
766
00:36:08,068 --> 00:36:12,291
Here in 1987, it's clearly
Wimbledon champ Pat Cash,
767
00:36:12,302 --> 00:36:14,080
And if you imagine Mr Cash sitting there
768
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,360
weighing up Hawke versus Howard...
769
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,109
well, there's really no question.
770
00:36:19,373 --> 00:36:21,080
I like this. This is a better tone.
771
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,440
- Yeah, it's not bad, is it?
- Yeah. Yeah.
772
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,640
Absolutely. Absolutely agree.
773
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520
In 1954, he skols two and
a half pints of beer...
774
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,400
- OK.
- Put that on that shit background.
775
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,120
- Beg your pardon?
- Can you help me?
776
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,560
- What? Oh. Yes.
- Go on the other side.
777
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,903
Um... Keating's eyeline is to the
screen, not to the camera, so...
778
00:36:51,914 --> 00:36:53,359
- Just match that?
- Uh-huh.
779
00:36:53,370 --> 00:36:55,600
Trig, could you get in
Keating's position, please?
780
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,320
- What time is it now?
- Uh, 20:13.
781
00:36:59,331 --> 00:37:01,520
- 20:13. OK.
- It's still good. It's still good.
782
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:02,760
OK.
783
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,840
Now, did you say he lost
votes in his own electorate?
784
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,360
Uh, yes. 5%.
785
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,720
5%. OK, great. Um, good.
786
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:13,640
And, Gerry, if you had to name
one highlight from tonight?
787
00:37:14,032 --> 00:37:15,770
Well, apart from the biscuits, Dale,
788
00:37:15,781 --> 00:37:18,600
I think my highlight was
learning a few brand-new words.
789
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,200
My favourite being 'scrutineer'.
790
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,280
Well, a potential new
career for you, Gerry?
791
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,840
Well, look, all I know about
it, Dale, is that they scrute,
792
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,800
and God knows... I've always
been partial to a quick scrute.
793
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,600
Well, famously so.
794
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,360
Right now, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a News At Six exclusive.
795
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,520
We are going to cross to Helen Norville,
796
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,840
who will be speaking to
our re-elected treasurer...
797
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,440
- You alright?
- Yeah, I'm standing by.
798
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,080
- OK.
- You're on in five.
799
00:37:42,273 --> 00:37:43,709
Four.
800
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:45,040
Three.
801
00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:54,119
He's one of the most bold and
influential men in the country
802
00:37:54,284 --> 00:37:57,688
and, at 43, many predict
our next prime minister.
803
00:37:57,879 --> 00:38:00,040
Joining me from Bankstown in Sydney,
804
00:38:00,246 --> 00:38:02,526
please welcome Treasurer Paul Keating.
805
00:38:03,666 --> 00:38:05,775
Yeah! Yes! Yes!
806
00:38:05,786 --> 00:38:06,831
- You beauty.
- Bob Hawke
807
00:38:06,842 --> 00:38:09,640
thinks that he'll be here
for the next three years at least.
808
00:38:09,701 --> 00:38:11,221
Are you happy to wait?
809
00:38:11,232 --> 00:38:14,800
Oh, yes, I... When... when
Bob is good and ready to go...
810
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,280
- All those phone calls.
- Yeah.
811
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,311
- They paid off, mate.
- Yeah.
812
00:38:17,322 --> 00:38:19,160
... those who fancy
ourselves as his successor
813
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,360
then get an opportunity
to propose ourselves
814
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,200
to the government, to the caucus.
815
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,840
But that's a matter for our party
and, uh, it'll all occur in its time.
816
00:38:28,095 --> 00:38:31,440
Opposition Leader John Howard had
to contend with a lot of disunity.
817
00:38:31,610 --> 00:38:36,400
You enjoy total party unity, but
your personal vote was down 5%.
818
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,440
- She is grilling him.
- Do you feel that you won tonight by default?
819
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,527
I think there's a lot of
rewriting history going on today.
820
00:38:41,538 --> 00:38:43,698
- She looks great.
- The government won this election.
821
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,840
I think Mr Howard debased
the political currency.
822
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,120
I mean, I think he ran
823
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,120
on the most disreputable and
irresponsible financial policy
824
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,560
of any leader in this
country in the last 20 years
825
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,960
and he deserved the
loss that he's taken.
826
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,000
And so I'd guess that you
would prefer John Howard
827
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,440
to stay on as Opposition Leader
828
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,920
as opposed to returning the
leadership to Andrew Peacock?
829
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,960
Oh, she's going for it.
She's going for it. Good girl.
830
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,080
But as far as Peacock's concerned,
831
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,600
I mean, let me put the
rhetorical question,
832
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,520
can a souffle rise twice?
833
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,320
That's the quote! That's our quote!
834
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,280
Yeah, I don't know, boys, is it just me
835
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,720
or is... she just a hair
too... uh... aggressive?
836
00:39:23,950 --> 00:39:25,440
Yeah. Just a hair.
837
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,760
Maybe.
838
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:27,891
... some substantial good news.
839
00:39:27,902 --> 00:39:30,742
We're gonna see inflation
continuing to abate.
840
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,200
Alright.
841
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,680
A disappointed but stoic
John Howard conceded that his...
842
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,240
I'll see you soon?
843
00:39:36,413 --> 00:39:37,635
- Yes.
- Mwah.
844
00:39:37,646 --> 00:39:39,960
- Drive safely.
- Yep. Always do.
845
00:39:42,373 --> 00:39:44,080
- Bye.
- Bye.
846
00:39:44,091 --> 00:39:47,720
And whatever differences
that divide us politically,
847
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:50,440
and they are important differences
848
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,320
and they will remain
important differences,
849
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,880
those things that
unite us as Australians
850
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,600
are much greater and more enduring
than those things that divide us.
851
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,080
Mr Howard congratulated Mr Hawke...
852
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,800
- Can I let you in on something?
- Yeah.
853
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,520
I'm not registered to
vote in this country.
854
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,080
Really?
855
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,120
No... No, no, seriously.
856
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,800
I've just hosted your national election
857
00:40:54,092 --> 00:40:55,258
and I can't even vote.
858
00:40:55,269 --> 00:40:58,029
I don't know whether I
should be ashamed or proud of that.
859
00:41:00,833 --> 00:41:02,380
- You did, obviously.
- Yeah.
860
00:41:02,391 --> 00:41:04,720
- Mmm.
- Yeah.
861
00:41:06,843 --> 00:41:08,582
- You and Helen are living together.
- Yeah.
862
00:41:08,593 --> 00:41:12,353
Yeah, living in sin, as my mother
likes to point out.
863
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,440
Are you thinking of changing that?
864
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,324
Um... we haven't
really discussed it yet.
865
00:41:21,946 --> 00:41:24,426
- You've been together a while.
- Yeah. A year.
866
00:41:26,307 --> 00:41:27,907
Maybe you're not the marrying type.
867
00:41:29,082 --> 00:41:30,370
Well...
868
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,560
Wait, what does that mean?
869
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,920
I don't know, you strike me as a bit...
870
00:41:37,006 --> 00:41:38,766
open to possibilities.
871
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,120
Uh, it's a compliment.
872
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,320
The best people are.
873
00:41:49,966 --> 00:41:51,286
I am.
874
00:41:56,513 --> 00:41:57,993
Mmm.
875
00:42:11,179 --> 00:42:12,960
- Sorry, maybe I am...
- Alright.
876
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,200
I am a pretty boring person.
877
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,400
I don't think so.
878
00:42:18,446 --> 00:42:19,846
Hi.
879
00:42:20,077 --> 00:42:22,650
- Ah. Here she is!
- Hello, hello!
880
00:42:22,661 --> 00:42:23,981
- Oh!
- Oh!
881
00:42:23,992 --> 00:42:26,069
- God, I'm glad that's over.
- Hey. You were brilliant.
882
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,560
- Thank you.
- Brilliant.
883
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,480
He talked so much that I only got
through a third of my questions.
884
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,520
- Was it OK really?
- You were great. Yeah.
885
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,376
- Mwah.
- Drink?
886
00:42:34,387 --> 00:42:35,540
- Um...
- You must be tired.
887
00:42:35,551 --> 00:42:37,109
- Uh, no, I'll take a double.
- Yeah?
888
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,160
Yeah. Uh, vodka soda, please.
889
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,080
- Sure.
- Hoo!
890
00:42:53,231 --> 00:42:54,720
Oh, my God!
891
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:56,560
What time is, um... is checkout?
892
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,320
Uh... 10, I think.
893
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,920
Hey, I think Gerry just
tried to proposition me.
894
00:43:09,173 --> 00:43:10,175
What?
895
00:43:10,186 --> 00:43:14,266
Well, I could be wrong, but it
definitely... seemed like it.
896
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,200
What... what, um... what happened?
897
00:43:24,339 --> 00:43:25,739
Nothing.
898
00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:40,959
Were you interested?
899
00:43:43,713 --> 00:43:44,953
No.
900
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,040
Are you sure?
901
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,760
Yes.
902
00:43:52,373 --> 00:43:53,973
'Cause he would make sense.
903
00:44:01,886 --> 00:44:04,010
I mean, he... he'd be, um...
904
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,640
he'd be discreet and...
905
00:44:11,106 --> 00:44:12,906
and private, and...
906
00:44:13,067 --> 00:44:16,707
his wife's a very powerful woman, so...
907
00:44:18,466 --> 00:44:20,066
he... he would be...
908
00:44:21,693 --> 00:44:23,373
a logical option.
909
00:44:25,993 --> 00:44:27,513
I don't want that option.
910
00:44:30,067 --> 00:44:31,427
Do you?
911
00:44:32,933 --> 00:44:34,008
No.
912
00:44:36,127 --> 00:44:38,647
No, I... I don't.
913
00:44:38,753 --> 00:44:40,033
I want...
914
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:43,960
I want just us. I want just...
915
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,160
just you and me.
916
00:44:48,220 --> 00:44:49,580
So do I.
917
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,200
But I want you to keep
talking to me about it.
918
00:44:59,818 --> 00:45:01,680
- I don't need to.
- But if anything changes...
919
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,280
- It's not gonna change.
- But if it... if it does...
920
00:45:05,713 --> 00:45:07,033
It won't.
921
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,080
I'm expecting the call in
the next couple of minutes.
922
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,760
Do not touch the phones.
923
00:46:03,487 --> 00:46:04,723
- We got numbers?
- Not yet.
924
00:46:04,733 --> 00:46:07,240
- Should be any minute.
- Ah.
925
00:46:07,747 --> 00:46:09,080
- Are the numbers in?
- Should be soon.
926
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,400
We don't have to sit around
just waiting for them.
927
00:46:18,140 --> 00:46:19,357
Yep.
928
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,000
Yep.
929
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,680
Yep. Good. Right. Yep.
930
00:46:27,026 --> 00:46:28,306
Thank you.
931
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,680
Lindsay?
932
00:46:32,825 --> 00:46:36,480
No, it was bloody Wardrobe going on
about those bloody sports jackets!
933
00:46:36,693 --> 00:46:38,853
What's wrong with them? They're great.
934
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,800
Geoff Walters speaking.
935
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:00,525
Yes.
936
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,640
Yes. Right.
937
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,680
Of course. Yes.
938
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:13,520
Yes?
939
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:22,107
Right.
940
00:47:22,773 --> 00:47:24,453
Yep. Good-o.
941
00:47:24,893 --> 00:47:26,253
Yep.
942
00:47:27,213 --> 00:47:29,453
Yeah, thank you!
943
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,040
Hey.
944
00:47:42,987 --> 00:47:44,427
Well, it, uh...
945
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,960
Uh...
946
00:47:50,106 --> 00:47:51,566
1.9 million.
947
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:54,640
We won. We thrashed Geoff!
948
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,120
Get about it!
949
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,520
Jean, you crack open the
piss! The special stuff!
950
00:48:03,775 --> 00:48:06,720
- Come on, hey? Get about it!
- Well done, you! Well done...
951
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:09,680
Huzzah!
952
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,560
Hey, Noels. Hey. Could I
ask you to help me with a...
953
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,120
- Yeah, of course... bit?
- Yep?
954
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Ha! Yes!
955
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,560
OK. Whoo, whoo, whoo.
956
00:48:21,713 --> 00:48:26,113
They said we... collapsed at 7:45.
957
00:48:26,541 --> 00:48:27,979
Never recovered.
958
00:48:28,059 --> 00:48:30,899
That stupid bloody
News At Six guarantee.
959
00:48:32,548 --> 00:48:34,308
A cheap trick.
960
00:48:34,319 --> 00:48:36,359
Maybe that's what
people want these days.
961
00:48:37,986 --> 00:48:39,986
Cheap tricks.
962
00:48:40,049 --> 00:48:41,400
Clowns.
963
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,920
And that network has
spent an absolute fortune
964
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,760
on utterly false advertising.
965
00:48:47,995 --> 00:48:52,080
Helen's being promoted as
this... woman of gravitas.
966
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,200
She's far from that. Think
what we know about her.
967
00:48:55,211 --> 00:48:57,373
- Huh!
- And from what I hear,
968
00:48:57,383 --> 00:48:59,120
that's the tip of the iceberg.
969
00:49:01,169 --> 00:49:05,200
You've maintained a dignified silence.
970
00:49:05,306 --> 00:49:08,426
It's time the truth about her emerged.
971
00:49:13,707 --> 00:49:16,747
You know... you know... you know...
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
972
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,440
Wh-what it was was
it was the guarantee.
973
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,360
Mate, we didn't even have to deliver!
974
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,720
It was just the promise of it.
975
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:24,720
It was a stroke of genius,
mate. Well done, you.
976
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:26,760
Yeah, I actually think
Gerry was the main drawcard.
977
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,973
He was good. He was good, wasn't
he? Surprisingly to some people.
978
00:49:29,984 --> 00:49:32,996
But, you know, I like to think
the, um... the whole team...
979
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,520
You were right about
Dale. He's getting there.
980
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,280
It's just, uh...
981
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,480
Helen.
982
00:49:41,580 --> 00:49:42,646
Yes?
983
00:49:42,659 --> 00:49:46,179
Mate, she was great under Geoff.
It's just, as a headliner...
984
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,520
I don't know what it is. I
think she's just sort of...
985
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,120
too dominant over Dale and
she's really aggressive and...
986
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,120
I reckon we give her a couple
of months to pull it in.
987
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,040
If she can't...
988
00:49:57,495 --> 00:49:59,320
we talk replacements.
989
00:49:59,501 --> 00:50:00,760
Sure.
990
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,302
Sure. No complaints this end on that.
991
00:50:02,313 --> 00:50:05,960
But, you know, it could be
a little bit tricky. They, uh...
992
00:50:06,252 --> 00:50:07,572
they are a couple.
993
00:50:07,583 --> 00:50:09,920
Yeah, it's not my problem.
994
00:50:10,254 --> 00:50:13,360
No. Of course it's not. It's theirs.
995
00:50:13,497 --> 00:50:15,560
Good plan. Very good plan.
996
00:50:15,703 --> 00:50:18,240
Well, happy days. And well
done... well done again...
997
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,070
I mean, did he show any
humility at all, or...?
998
00:50:36,081 --> 00:50:39,509
Well, you know, he was...
he was Charlie.
999
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,560
But, um, he did say
congratulations. So...
1000
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,072
- Ah.
- Well, that was nice of him.
1001
00:50:44,083 --> 00:50:47,043
I think... I think a
toast is called for. Uh...
1002
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,040
To the person who will
appreciate our victory the most.
1003
00:50:51,257 --> 00:50:53,240
Here's to Geoff Walters.
1004
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:55,680
He can blow it out his arse!

Dennis asked me today
if we were a couple.
1007
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,820
What did you say?
1008
00:51:41,831 --> 00:51:45,488
If you don't see us having a
future together, just tell me.
1009
00:51:45,499 --> 00:51:47,979
You know what's at stake
for me if we tell the office!
1010
00:51:48,106 --> 00:51:50,186
Breaking news from
the heart of Melbourne
1011
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,880
as terror unfolds on
a Clifton Hill street.
1012
00:51:53,181 --> 00:51:56,260
The whole country is on the
brink of a colossal change
1013
00:51:56,271 --> 00:51:57,871
and it is our job to report it.

00:52:00,443 --> 00:52:02,789
- Ohh!
- ... on High Street and walk out
1016
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,840
with a military-grade
weapon made for war zones!
1017
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,548
- Am I cutting around that or...?
- No. I mean, we should keep it.
1018
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:10,519
Run the bloody things,
then. With a big graphic.
1019
00:52:10,530 --> 00:52:12,015
- "First on the scene."
- Oh!
1020
00:52:12,026 --> 00:52:13,866
If it bleeds, it leads.
1021
00:52:13,877 --> 00:52:15,877
And the approach taken
by the network in question
1022
00:52:15,888 --> 00:52:17,756
represents a troubling new low.
1023
00:52:17,767 --> 00:52:19,487
Mostly they're complaints about you!
