Oh. Have I woken up
in a French farce?

Reporting for duty, boss.

That was my personal story
about my late father!

I loved God, understood my place
in this world

and I was pretty optimistic
about the future.

But then when you pissed off,
that day, I became a bad man.

Shit. I hope this doesn't mean
my BuzzStay booking cancels.

You have BuzzStay guests?

Why... Why not?
I've got a spare bedroom.

OK, I don't have any evidence

but I think that Fuzz has got
another woman in America.

Doubtless older,
and that is why he is,

as you so consistently were, absent.

About Nicole. Here's the thing.
She's...

You keep her...keep away from her,

because she's...
she's in a dark place.

Do you know who Webster just
appointed to fill Orcack's seat?

No-one. Because I haven't told them
who I want in there yet.

He's just announced it.

It's your half brother,
Cal McGregor.

AHHHH!

Well... Well, friends, I...
I am humbled.

And...and truly honoured
to be elected to represent

the beautiful seat
and the wonderful people of Genora!

Yeah, but why Greg Peters?

I mean, that bloke's got as much
impact as an HB pencil.

Depends what you write with it.

Now is not the time
to make your move, OK?

A month or so before the election,
we strike, you nobble him.

Yeah, why not Roebuck?
I like Roebuck.

- He is not an Aboriginal.
- Well, neither is Peters!

He's half of something or other,
I don't know,

three quarters at the most.

No, he's not!

- I'm told he's the full deal.
- Really?

And even if he wasn't, we wouldn't
be saying that out loud, would we?

Well, I'm a quarter Welsh.

You don't hear me singing
Men Of Harlech, do you?

Can you... Think you can keep
that thought private, will you?

It's a bloody shame
that he doesn't have

a proper Aboriginal tribal name,
you know?

Maybe we can get him to change it.

You didn't know I was at Kings
with him.

Well, keep that quiet too, will you?

At 9:30 this morning,

I informed the Governor-General
that following a party room vote,

I became leader of the federal
parliamentary Liberal Party...

..and have been commissioned
by the Governor-General

to form a government.

As a First Australian,

a man of the Ulupna
and Yarra Yarra clans,

I am only too cognisant
of the significance

and responsibility
bestowed upon me.

- Hear, hear!
- Hear, hear! Well said.

Tomorrow, the sun will rise
on a new day in Australia...

..and as my first act
as your new prime minister,

I will seek to rectify
the inequality and injustice

that has beset this country
since white settlement.

- What's he saying?
- I don't know, mate.

As my first act as prime minister,

I will be introducing a bill
outlining a treaty

that will, for the very first time,

acknowledge our nation's
true past...

- Treaty?
- ..and give full...

- Did he just say "treaty"?
- He did.

He said a treaty.

Thank you.

Oi! 100 bucks!

200 bucks! Fuck!

Oh, my God.

Oh, mate. What's with
the fucking cabs in this town?

How can I help ya?

Ah, can I get a double macchiato
to go, please?

Sure.

Name?

Why?

For the coffee.

Mate, I'm the only person in here.

I may be the only person
in the suburb!

Oh, yeah, but other people might
come in, so I still need a name.

Castorsnor Fjorvjorversananer.

- Sorry?
- That's my name.

Castorsnor Fjorvjorversananer.

First name will be fine.

Franzphilillenunst.

- Is there a shorter version of that?
- No, mate. Danish.

They don't shorten.

- So that's...
- Franz...philillenunst.

OK?

- Senator.
- Jakub!

- Are you in Sydney?
- Yes, I am, senator.

Oh! Mate, could you...

Could you please do me a huge favour
off the books?

A guy's got me tickets to
the big Souths game today, OK?

And it's in a corporate box

and if we win this,
we're through to the final, OK?

- It's huge.
- I see.

I wish your heroes well.

But the problem is
it's out at, uh, Homebush Park

and I can't get a fucking cab here
for love nor money.

And you need me to take you there,
off the books?

Yes! Yes!

Off the books. That'd be great.

I see where you are.

- How?
- Your phone finder.

I always know where you are -
all part of the service.

OK, great. Good! Good, I guess, yeah.

I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Oh, mate! Thank you so much!
You're a legend!

- Thank you. I owe you.
- I know.

Franzphil..nun..deust?

Oh, sorry! Is that...
You were calling my name?

Oh, sorry, mate - I didn't realise.
Sorry.

A treaty? Yeah, I mean, great.

- Don't you think, Gareth?
- Oh, very much needed. Very much.

My only issue...my only issue
is one of timing.

- Exactly. Timing.
- Yeah.

We get this wrong, Greg, we could
set this country back 200 years.

Well, that's the idea, isn't it?

Of course, Greg,
of course.

But you know
there's gotta be consultation.

No, it has to be drafted,
run through committees,

white papers issued.

Potentially, a referendum.

And then there's the election
in two years, so...

..we're looking at
a four-year process right there.

Well, the good thing about being

a corporate lawyer in my past life
is...

..I know the law.

Now, look,

I've drafted a straightforward
plain-English document

and run it by some
of this country's best legal minds.

- They all love it.
- Well, it could split the nation.

Could even split your people.

Well...

..you talk as if...

..we're all one group.

But we're not.
Fuck the referendum.

We make it law of the land. Treaty.

And, according to our constitution,
parliament has the power.

Wouldn't it be more judicious
to test the waters first, hmm?

By test the waters, you mean what?

We don't need a referendum.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

But, uh...something referend-ish
might be good.

Oh, you mean like
a non-binding postal vote?

- Yes.
- Great idea.

- Perfect. It's worked before.
- Indeed it has.

Yes, yes, just to assess
the feel for change.

I'll take your advice on board,
gentlemen.

Thank you.

- Bless you.

Oh, come on! Come on!

We're gonna miss the guy
with the tickets.

The traffic is going to thin out
at the next set of lights.

Just zip down here and, uh,
take the... It's a short cut.

I wouldn't advise it.

- Remember what happened last time?
- Mate, mate, trust me.

Take this. Take this.

Oh, my God. Oh, God.

See, that's why I hate cyclists.

- Please, sir!

- Your mustn't touch my...
- OK, back up.

Oh, for fuck's sake!

Oh, God, he... Hey, guys!

Could you just quickly back up?

We've got to get out...

- Could...could you back up?
- Why?

I...I...I'm a federal senator.

I've got to get to
a vital state function.

There's an injured man down here!

I mean, he seems alright, really.

How are you, mate? Was it just a...
was it just a bump on the noggin'?

Hey, follow my fingers.

See, he seems... I reckon, you know,
maybe if we could just...

- Can...can I help at all?
- Yes!

- Please! Get out of my way!
- OK, fine.

Just, you know, trying to...

I'll be over here, waiting.

Would you like to me to list that
as...as a meeting for your diary?

Why would I list that as a meeting?

Well, I heard

there's going to be a crackdown
on parliamentary allowances, etc.

You might find having a meeting

with the representatives
of the health industry

to your advantage.

Right.

Yeah. That's what that was.

Oh, fuck! Fuck!

- Senator Greene.
- Oh, mate!

I didn't think you were
gonna materialise.

Oh, apologies. No, look, the health
system in crisis, you know.

Sometimes you just gotta step
in when your conscience dictates.

- Should we, uh, head up to the box?
- Yeah, no.

We'll go this way but I...I just
wanted to, uh, have a word with you.

Yes. Isn't the...isn't the game
about to kick off?

- And you're anxious to get in.
- Well, yes, anxious to get in!

We win this one, we're through
to the old final!

- How exciting.
- Yes!

I'm not sure you're aware
of this new amendment

that's got traction
in the Lower House

and is now headed for you
in the Senate.

Ah, well, look, I try and...
you know,

I'm generally on top of
all the legislation

but there's the occasional one
that slips through the net.

- It's a very positive...
- Where's the box, mate?

..very positive pro-business,
pro-jobs bill...

Right.

..that, if it gets the nod, is gonna
make a lot of kids very happy.

Right.

By lowering these outdated
censorship restrictions,

kids will, for the first time,

gain access to useful
family-friendly information.

Oh, well, that sounds great.

But, but, but...
the No forces are out in full.

- Oh, damn it.
- Yes.

It could come down to
one or two votes in the Senate

that could either give these kids
a future or stifle their hopes.

Mate, um, can you just remind me
what industry are we talking about?

- Video games.
- Vi... Oh! I love video games!

My...my son's into video games.

- Yes! Finnegan.
- Oh, Finnegan.

- Finnegan. Great, great talent.
- You have my full support.

You know, studies have now proved
that these games actually help kids

with learning about
appropriate social interaction,

quite contrary to all the bullshit
we hear?

Yes, it's just shameful!

I mean, I hate censorship.

Where the fuck are we?
Where's the box?

Anyway, the point is my company
has invested a fortune

in developing a new
and exciting product

aimed very much at an intelligent,
discerning young adult market,

and if this legislation is killed,

it'll stop kids
from having the opportunity

to make up their own minds

about what is violent
and what is not.

That's called freedom.

What...what sort of violence
are we talking about?

No, my point exactly.
What violence? None.

And certainly not
for violence sake.

I'm not even sure what that means.

You know, this is...
This is an issue of education.

- Yeah.
- 12. 12 is the new 18.

I mean, kids...kids need
to confront the realities

of rape and death, right?

My video games prepare children,
their families,

and their children's children
for those harsh realities.

People should be able to watch
whatever they like.

Yeah.

- Educational games like Carnal Blood.
- Carnal Blood?

That's the title of
one of my new video games.

Oh, right, oh, well,
that sounds incredible.

So I can count on your vote?

Oh, mate, ah, yes, yes, yes.

I'll give it all my consideration.

- Thank you.
- Yes, good.

- Thank you.
- Ah, yes.

No, thank you. Thank you.

- Are you coming in, wherever I'm...
- I'll catch up.

It's just the lift there
on the right.

Great, great, great.

This is a freedom of speech issue,
Senator.

Yes, I hear you, mate.

- Hey.
- Yes?

It's good to see you again.
It's been way too long.

Yeah, yeah, great to see you again.

Go the Bunnies.

- Go the Bunnies!

Get it, get it, get it.

Come on, Jack.

Come on, Angus. Go!

Don't toy with the bloody thing.
Don't canter, mate. Come on.

You gotta fly. Come on, mate.

You're Icarus. You're Icarus.

Oh, yes!

Come on, Sam. Come on, mate.

Yes, come on.

Oh, yes, beautiful.
Come on in, go.

Get it over the line!
Come on, mate!

Get it in there! Get it in there!

Yes! Yes!

YES!

Yeah!

Mwah! Ahh!

You beautiful Bunnies!

Yes! We're through!

We're through! Whoo!

How the hell does he do it?

I mean, did he plan the zebra suit?

You really don't get it, do you?

No, I don't.

No, good people usually don't.

I'm not that good.

Well, that is kind of
how you come across.

You mean boring.

Well, you're occasionally
a bit trite, smug.

Oh, God, I prefer boring.

Would you ever consider
taking me on as a client?

I mean, I couldn't come
to your office

for anything other than political
purposes, otherwise...

It would look like you were getting
psychological help.

- Well, it is a bit of a stigma.
- Oh, that's just ridiculous.

I wouldn't wanna be seen
coming here all the time,

so perhaps we could meet
for a coffee, the odd meal...

I'll tell you what,
I will happily diarise

that we meet about mental health
or women's prison reform

or whatever you want.

Good.

All pollies' diaries are about
to become public property, so...

- Really?
- Mmm.

Oh, my God.
Does Cleaver know that?

- Oh, yeah!
- Hey.

What do you want me to say
to the press?

I want you to say that
the boys come up good

and they done what they said
they were gonna do.

About the Peters Treaty.

The what a whatty?

He's proposing a proper treaty
with the Aborigines.

It's his first act
as Prime Minister.

Who?

Greg Peters.

Greg Peters is Prime Minister?

Please tell me that you knew that.

- Well, I was at the footy.
- It happened this morning.

Well, I was gearing up for the footy
this morning.

It's been all over the news!
The whole country save you knows?

Yes, yes,

but does the whole country knows

that the mighty Bunnies
are through to the finals?

I'm working for
a Member of Parliament

who is so far out of the loop

he doesn't even know there's been
a new Prime Minister elected?

Wow.

Oh! Mate!

Would you like me to call
the Fire Brigade?!

Nah, all good.

"All good?" Depends on which side of
the fire alarm you're representing.

Cleave, a bill like this is going to
completely divide the nation.

OK? You need to have a position.

What do you want me to say publicly?

Well, we say "Yes." "Yes."

"Yeah, about bloody time,
treaty with the Aborigines."

You know that people are going
to lean on you.

Well, let them lean.
I'm a rock in a storm.

And I worked with
the previous government

as an advisor to
the Minister for Education.

Amazing.

Prior to that I was a journalist
with the SMH.

This is all fantastic.

Hey, Missy, what are you doing here?

I thought so.
He hasn't told you, has he?

What?

Tell me that you didn't appoint her.

Ah, this would be Missy.

Tell me that you didn't waste
the last three weeks of my life

interviewing for the role,

including some of the best brains
in journalism!

I didn't.

Alright. Ah, OK.

Then, can you just explain to me

why she's standing in our office
saying that you did.

Wendy did.

Oh, your ex-wife appointed her?

Missy was driving her crazy.

Then, of course, of course,
you made her your Press Secretary.

She's... She is a best-selling
novelist.

About her days as a prostitute!

OK, yep, alright, yeah.

She's a little bit clever
and I found her story mildly moving,

but she is not stable, Cleaver!

You don't know that.

I do, actually, Cleaver,
I do know that,

because she went out with you,

and then she had a child
with your son,

Grandad.

I'm Cal McGregor.

And you're fuckin' not.
I'm Cal McGregor.

I am Cal McGregor.

- Mr McGregor! Mr McGregor!
- A historic day.

Gentlemen, ladies.

So nice to see you all here.

Mr McGregor!

Mr McGregor, you spent time
in prison several years ago

for corruption.

Ah, ah, no, no.
Not corruption, Judy, overreach.

You see, in attempting to achieve
a memorable outcome

for the people of New South Wales,
I overreached.

But I'll tell you what, Judy,
in that difficult time,

I learned a very great lesson
about humility,

dignity, and...

- Look at the pig!
- Holy shit, it's a pig!

- Look at his tie.
- Oh.

He's got a tie on!

Ah... All things
bright and beautiful, hey?

Mr McGregor,
what did you think of that?

Right, must dash.

Mr McGregor,
what are your ambitions?

Little half-brother,
welcome to Parliament.

- I take it the pig was you.
- Well, I know you like bacon.

Not laughing.

We're on the same side now.

We're both in government.

You know?
We should be working as a team.

I know a lot of bad blood
has passed between us.

Oh, rivers of it, mate,
an ocean of blood.

- Let me tell you something.
- What?

In this place,
as Party Leader in the Senate,

and as a key player in maintaining a
disciplined government front bench,

my sole objective...

..is to fuck you over however,
whenever, and as often as I want.

Well, that is so great.

We've found common ground after all,

because that's exactly
what I have in mind for you.

Let the blood pour.

Oh, let the sluice gates open,
mate.

Let hell rain down!

Dad promised it to me!

Bullshit he did.

Yes, Senator Greene
will happily give

a press conference on the treaty.

Let me just check his diary.

Right, OK, he's completely free
apart from a massage on Thursday.

Great.

Maybe don't say I'm completely free.

It kind of sounds
like I'm doing nothing.

Yeah, that'd be a grave distortion
of the truth.

He has the sauna on Tuesdays.

Hey, you, of course,
read the memo that says

all Senators are now required
to submit their diaries?

Remind me.

All Senators are now required
to submit their diaries.

It's a new edict, full public
disclosure on all meetings.

It's how Webster lost his job.

He took a government car
to a house auction.

What, they got him for THAT?

And the
Privileges Committee are insisting

all diaries be published
on a real-time basis.

Well, that's an invasion
of my privacy.

Well, you're not private, though,
are you?

Open government, public interest.

Well, do you know what?

I think we'll actually be OK
because I never see anyone.

Don't you think that
that might be the issue?

I mean, the press is just going to
love that.

Yeah, I can see it now.
Senator Do-Little.

- Why are the press going to see this?
- Because the diaries are public.

Mmm. What have you got here?

Just pages and pages
of empty...

- Oh, no, here we go. Who's "Loz?"
- Oh, here?

- Loz?
- I put that in.

Well, he called and he wanted
an appointment, so I put it...

You can't... Did you put "Loz"
in my work diary?

You can't put Loz in my work diary.
Are you insane?

I mean, why not? Apart from...

You've got your massage
and your sauna. Loz really is...

No, no, no, you've got to delete
Loz, get rid of Loz, OK?

There is no Loz, do you understand?

And, listen, I'm going to need
all hands on deck.

You're going to have to backfill this
or something.

You know, lots of appointments.

Appointments out the wazoo.
With who?

Anybody.

Important people. Heavy hitters.

- Not Loz.
- No.

- What do you mean "No?"
- No.

What are you... What? "Yes."

"Yes, Senator Greene."

"Yes, it's a part of my job
description, Senator Greene."

- Oh, to lie to the Parliament?
- No.

To...to maintain and upkeep
Senator Greene's diary.

What part of that is lying?

Uh, what part of that is not a lie?

OK, it's a little fib, a little
series of little white lies.

Guys, guys, I can't...

This thing can't show its face
in public looking like that.

You're dead anyway, Cleaver.

OK.

- Cleave...
- Hey, mate.

Thanks for taking the time
to meet me.

Actually, there's something I needed
to talk to you about, Loz.

Mate, if it's credit,
I'm so sorry, mate.

I know you bank wise,
no money, no drugs, OK?

I pride myself
on my professional approach.

No, no, no, I don't want drugs.
I don't want drugs.

And as I pointed out, actually,
they weren't for me,

they were for...

Ah, yes, the US Secretary of Defence.

Yeah, yeah, you told me, yeah, yeah.

Listen, there's something
beyond money

that I need to talk to you about.

Exactly.

And that's why I wanted to talk to
you in your capacity as a senator.

They are thinking of
legalising marijuana.

Why not the legalisation
of crack cocaine?

- Hmm...
- More than that!

Ecstasy, ice, heroin.

- No...
- Yeah, just make it all legal!

- Ah...
- Take the stigma out of it.

Make it readily available
to anyone over a certain age!

Yeah, I dunno, mate, I dunno.

I mean, some of those drugs,
you know, the side effects and...

Look, I know. I'm a dreamer.

I am a dreamer. I'm...

Without dreamers
where would with we be, huh?

I would cease to be a criminal.

I'm sorry, sir, you can't have
your ice-cream in here.

It's reserved for cafe patrons only.

Thank you.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

They have introduced legislation

to open all governmental diaries
to the public.

- Alright?
- Yeah.

- Yes?
- I'm listening.

- Are you listening?
- I'm listening.

Your name appears in my diary
by accident

with your phone number.

Great. That might be useful
for business.

- Lobby them!
- No, no.

Not useful. Bad, bad for business.

Bad for you. Bad for me. Bad!

That's not good.

Cleave, I'm speaking to you
as a Member of Parliament.

I'm one of your constituents.

Yeah, but maybe don't.

Or if somebody calls you about this,
could you say,

"Oh, I'm from a pensioner's society.

"I was talking to him about..."
You know...

I don't lie.

What do you mean you don't lie?

You're a criminal,
for Christ's sake!

Only because of
draconian government laws.

Oh!

- If you accept my submission...
- Look, just...

What I'm asking you to do is to keep
as low a profile as possible.

Hey! I thought I told you
to clear off.

- I hope you're not talking to me.
- I am talking to you.

- No. We're going...
- No, we fucking weren't.

Not until I finish my ice-cream.

- Oh...

That's a gun! That's a fucking gun!

Oi!

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry, what... What...

Would somebody like to explain
what's going on here?

We're just...
We're having a coffee.

With him? In Canberra?

I don't think so. No, no, no, no, no.

We've got family to consider.

I mean, there's a line
in the sand, pal,

and you have just pole-vaulted
over it.

We are discussing women's
mental health and prisoner reform.

I have sent you the papers
but you didn't comment so...

This is the flugelhorns in prison
thing.

If you want to reduce it to it that,
yes.

- So that's all that was going on here?
- What else would be going on?

- I don't know. You tell...
- Ahh!

OK, listen.

If anybody asks, we were discussing
Parliamentary issues, OK?

Just look after those for us.

You want me to be more like that?

I was delighted to speak
the other day

with the Senate leader,
Joe McGregor,

and my Minister for Homeland
Security, Gareth Morrow,

who I thought would oppose
the Treaty Bill,

but, no.

They went further.

They demanded not only a treaty with
the First People of this land,

but meaningful dialogue

with a consultative group of
elders from all over this country

who will advise the Prime Minister
on how to advance this government

on Aboriginal welfare reform
and treaty implementation.

Oh, yeah.

Fucking billabongs and ancient
fucking wisdom. Well done, Joe!

You've let this fucking Trojan Horse
into our party room.

- You gotta fix it up.
- I know.

- I'm working the numbers.
- And?

Well, there's plenty in the room
who oppose it.

There's a few in the fucking party
who agree with it.

Oh, Jesus wept.

With the Opposition vote,

this bloody treaty will make it
through the Lower House.

Alright. So it comes down to
a few votes in the Senate.

Who's the weakest link? Mmm?

- Who is Wong Fu?
- Dry cleaner.

- Can we make something of that?
- Nup. Picking up his laundry.

- Ah, you're not even trying, are you?
- Nope.

What if we put it down as

a meet and greet
the Chinese community?

- Yes!
- Delegation.

Yes! Exactly! Yes, great, great!
Good thinking.

See, that's initiative.
That's what I'm talking about.

Well done, Missy. Alright?

What's "Brian - Gate 8"?

He's another one. Great!

He was a terrific guy. He's...

He was a guy who got me
into a corporate box

to watch a big Bunnies game.

And he was - he was - he was very...

And, actually, the name wasn't Brian.

But he talked to me about work stuff
as well and he was very keen.

I reckon he'd be prepared to say
that he saw me

on at least a dozen occasions
if I agree to help him.

Mm-hm. So you took a meeting with
someone with a vested interest?

No, no.

I took a meeting with someone

with the best tickets to
the best Bunnies game of the season.

And he gave them to you
because you are a senator?

Abso-fucking.

I mean, not every saveloy
strolling the streets of Darlinghurst

is going to get their hands
on a ticket like that.

OK. So what did you agree to
in return?

Nothing. I mean, he was all about
blah, blah, I don't know...

Some legislation,

Blah, video games, schlock,
bullshit, something.

Describe him.

Can we stick with the program,
please?

No. Describe him?

I don't know, he's...
He was a bloke, you know.

He's a bloke. He had hair, hair...

Here. Hair here, hair here.
Here. Hair.

OK, I'm going to ask you
a couple of questions, Cleaver,

and I need you to think very, very
carefully how you answer them.

Did he look familiar?

Ah, well, yeah.

Yes. He... He did.

Actually. A bit.

And it's funny you should say that

because he seemed
to know me socially.

And do you think that...

..this social function
could have been a wedding?

Ringing a bell.

And...and...and do you think that

the person maybe standing
next to this bloke

at this social event
in a bridal gown

be, say, me?

Mmm...

It's possible. Yeah.

It could have been old, um, Brendan.

- Bevan.
- Bevan?

- Bevan.
- Bevan.

You didn't remember Bevan
from my wedding?

See, I...

I mean, I didn't get much of
a look-in there

because if you remember I had...

..I had a barney with Barney
on the way into the church.

- So...
- Yeah. That, um...

That man that I was engaged to
for nine years that, um...

..that humiliated me and that
pretty near destroyed my life,

you...you don't remember him?

Oh, it was... You know,
not as well as you do.

- What did you promise him, Cleaver?
- Nothing.

Because, Cleaver,
if you promised him anything...

No.

..anything at all,

then that is it from me.

- He got...
- We are finished.

..nothing out of me.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.

- Fuck it! I'm finished.
- What?!

Nicole. Nicole.

Come on!

Can you just... Listen!

I'm sorry about the...

Oh. Fuck. OK.

- Just...

Problems?

A private word, please, Cleaver.

Don't forget you've got
that press conference.

What's that about?

Because if it's about the Treaty
Bill, you will be voting no.

Oh, mate, I'll vote whichever way
my conscience tells me to vote,

alright?

Oh, really.

I really love your...your little boys
with their...

..with their little bouncy balls.

Oh, not that shit again.

And if that's not enough...

- Mate...
- Hey, hey, hey. Try this one.

Ahhh!

You beautiful Bunnies!

Yeah.

You will be voting no
or this goes viral.

Mate, oh, that's... Mate, that is...

Conscience, huh?

Senator, there is every chance
the future of this treaty

will hinge on
one or two crucial votes,

and I understand you have already
declared your hand by saying yes?

Oh, yes. Well, yes.

Yes. Ah, yes.

I... See, I've said yes
in the broad sense of,

"Yes, there is a proposal
before the House

"and, yes, it merits
my full consideration."

But you are voting yes.

The sign in front of you says it.

This... What?

Oh, well, see, that's...
that's...that sign's from, um,

the old marriage equality debate
days, back when that was a thing.

But it says "Yes Treaty."

Yes. Treaty. Yes.

Yes. Well, it...
Marriage is a treaty, isn't it?

Between a man and woman.

Or a...or a man and a man
and woman and a woman or anything...

- So you're not voting yes?
- Well, now you're... You see, you...

Caitlin, you're putting words
in my mouth

and I don't appreciate it,
because, um,

you know, I have been very clear
about this all along.

And I'd like you to quote me
correctly, if you don't mind.

Um, I...I love this bill.

I mean, what a great bill.

And what a...what a thing
to be a part of.

I will be a part of, um,

any understanding that leads
to an unpacking of a...

..of a much broader community-based
conversation, if you will.

- Senator...
- No more questions, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

- I think...
- What happened?

I reckon I'm getting the hang
of this shit.

How about the diary?

Did you find any more possibilities?

Cleave, are you voting yes or no?

Well, yes. Definitely.

One of those two.

Tell me you want it.

- I want it.
- Mm. Feel that pain.

- Mmm.
- Don't hurt me!

- Oh, my God.

You see, I have railed against
censorship for all these years

and then you see shit like this.

You're telling me
you never watch porn?

Well, I mean, I enjoy
the occasional viewing

of consenting amateur adults enjoying
their bodies in large numbers,

but this is...this is disgusting.

So, are you voting yes or no?

Or possibly both?

No, definitely.

And I can say that publicly?

Say away.

- Cleave. Mate.

Mate, you might have told me you were
the shithead who dumped Nicole.

No. I presumed you knew.

Let's get the facts straight here.

She is the one who pissed off on me
with your old bald mate.

You didn't have to treat her
like shit.

I got payback.

- Oh, right.
- Yeah.

I got payback
and that's how that works.

Is that how that works?

Yes. How many women have you
fucked over in your time?

Mate, I have never in my life set out
to deliberately hurt any woman.

OK.

Let's not let this get in the road

of a multimillion-dollar
business opportunity.

Not interested, pal.

- Seriously?
- Seriously.

For Nicole.

Who, for the record, thinks
you're an idiot, by the way.

Nicole's always been a very good
judge of character, hasn't she?

You know what?

You came very cheaply, my friend.

One day in my box.

I made the mistake of watching

your stupid fucking game last night,
mate.

And I'm here to tell you, I think
the world has enough problems

without 12-year-olds, who aren't
the new 18, by the way,

being exposed to your demented shit.

- OK?
- OK.

You're making a big mistake, Greene.

Well, that would not be the first,
would it?

What? What's this?

The vet told me to keep her close
at all times.

- Oh, come on. Jesus Christ.

She needs ointment on and in
her anus every hour.

- Till it clears.
- Right.

I did actually tell you,
I am allergic to cats, didn't I?

Yes, I believe you did.

And when I was a little fella
I was actually hospitalised

and the doctor told my mum that
it was a miracle I survived.

But here you are.

Doctors and mothers,
what do they know, eh?

I think you may have missed
the point of my story, mate.

There are some very worried people
in Canberra now.

Concerned their diaries don't
match up with the drivers logs.

What, they match our diaries
to your logs?

Yeah, rigorously.

But you're different.
You hide nothing.

You're quite happy for them to know
about your trips to the winery.

- So your logs mention wineries?
- Yes.

The runs to the dry cleaners.

The times I pick up the takeaway.
Your run to the football.

See, I thought all that would
have been off the books, mate.

Which is why I suggested you list
the business with the ambulance

as consulting health professionals.

Yes. Yes.

In the interest of good governance,
there is much we can alter.

Because as a responsible driver,

you know, we keep
a second set of books,

for security purposes, of course.

Of course.

So, if you perceive
any security issues...

And I do.

Indeed.

Which is why we provide
the diary service.

Diary service.

So, mate, how does this diary service
work?

It's quite simple.

My associate supplies clients

with a list of meetings
and names of people

prepared to say they were
in attendance at those meetings.

What sort of meetings?

Appropriate and uncontroversial.

My associates organise
meet-and-greet sessions

so one can familiarise themselves
with the faces

of people you're supposed
to have met.

OK, hypothetically
the cost of all this stuff?

To me? Nothing.

I only mention it as a service.

I regard you as my friend.

But for the provision of, say,
a dozen meetings or so?

Around the $2,000 mark.

Holy shit.

And how long does it take
to organise?

And also surely they've got a kind
of discount rate for politicians

who might have, say, only 4 or 5
diary entries for the year.

It wouldn't take long.
A couple of hours.

There's an all-up fee of $5,000.

Finance, of course, can be arranged.

And, in return, I would be able
to ask a small favour of you.

- Yeah, yeah, of course, mate.
- No problem. Yeah.

Holy shit.

- Cleaver.
- Andy. Amy.

Noddy.

OK, can we all get this over
as quickly as possible?

Let's compare diaries,

make sure we don't double up
on names

and help each other out
by confirming meetings.

Ah, I'll go first.

Who wants to be with me at a meeting
on 12 January?

- Yes.
- With Anselm Kowalski?

Anselm?

- And you're with the...
- Friends of Poland Association.

Right.

And, uh, I attended a night
of folkloric dancing.

We danced, sure.

No, we watched the dancing,
together.

OK. We danced. We watched.

Can I be at that also?

I was there too, Anselm.

Sure. We danced.

Great. Me too. I was...I was there.

Does anybody else want to join me
with Mary Seallazowski?

- Marie Schilozowski.
- Mrislovski?

At the Polish supporters
of Reforestation of Mordialloc?

Yes. Maricia, if you're here,
give us a wave.

Tell me. Is everyone here Polish?

Yeah. Are there any non-Polish
organisations on the list?

lago was born on
the Slovakian border.

Oh, well, that opens things up.

Everybody else is...?

From Krakow.

Calumny!

- Collusion.
- Fuck. Oh!

Corruption.

Three words that will ring loud
on the media tonight, folks.

This is not what you think, Cal.

No, no, of course it's not.

Spare yourself
the indignity of denial.

All of you.

The empty little diaries, trying
to fill them up with bullshit.

Some of us from the same party.
Think of the damage.

Integrity comes at a cost.

I own each and every one
of your hides from now

until the end of time.

Greene.

Come with me.

A little birdie told me
that you intend voting no

on the new videogame censorship
rating.

Now, that no...

..is a big yes.

You understand?

It's so good to be back.

Oh! Caitlin has been waiting
for over an hour.

This time be clear with her.

Hello, Senator. So.

Yes or no to the bill relaxing
censorship laws on videogames?

One or the other?

I would appreciate it
if you would respect my privacy

and the privacy of my family
at this difficult time.

Pardon? Why... What has your family
got to do with anything?

Yes. What?

They are innocent bystanders
in all of this

and I would ask you to
kindly remember that next time.

Thank you.

Prime Minister.

Cleave.

I'm only going to get
one crack at this.

And I have bided my time.

Played their game.

Gone with the flow.

Waiting.

But now it's time.

They are going to dump me as leader
in the next couple of weeks,

sure as heck.

Morrow...

..he's chomping at the bit.

I heard you were
in support of this bill.

But now you're wavering.

Look, I understand the pressure
that you are under on both sides.

All I ask is you do
as your conscience says.

Be sure to put your feet
in the right place.

And then stand firm.

Abe Lincoln said that.

- Senator.
- G'day, mate.

- A double Scotch, no ice, thanks.
- Sure.

Tough day, boss?

Oh, yes. Yes. Mate.

It's the unseen stress of
these jobs that gets you down.

- Yeah.
- Pressure, pressure.

Old mother pressure.

- Oh.
- There you go, mate.

You know how I handle it?

Alcohol?

Nope, never the bottle,
never the way.

No. I say to myself every night,

"Frank, don't bother
about old mother stress

"because tomorrow is father's day."

Incredible.

I gave that same advice
to whatshername

from whatshisname's office.

- Er...
- I've got nothing, mate.

John MacArthur.

Who introduced merino sheep
to Australia?

- Did he?
- Ah, you probably mean Joe McGregor.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the one.

Anyway, his assistant
is run off her feet

trying to work out how
to hit his brother, Col.

Cal.

So, there's two of them?

One in politics.

Anyway, this assistant is run ragged

trying to work out
what the other one is doing

just so they can vote
the other way.

Is that right?

See, mate.

This is why we pay you the big bucks,
because you are a genius.

No reason to see you.

I just wanted you to know
I'm right behind this no vote, mate.

I know you are.

- I was worried that your brother...
- Half-brother!

..might have put pressure on me
to vote yes

but luckily he is behind
the no vote as well.

Sorry to trouble you.

Cleaver!

Piss off. I'm trying to digest food.

I just wanted to clarify, mate,

you still good for me to vote yes

to relaxing this video game
censorship stuff?

Why would I change?

Nothing. No reason.

You wouldn't.

Your brother will be...
he'll be very happy.

Half-brother.

- He'd be very what?
- He'd be thrilled, mate.

He's very much in favour.

Cleave.

Have you eaten, mate?

Division. Lock the doors.

On Bill 42289TN.

The reregulation
of censorship provisions

regarding the availability
and reclassification of videogames.

The nays have it.

Yes!

I call for a vote now
for Bill 11749RD

enacting a treaty with
the Aboriginal people of Australia.

Ayes to my right.

No's to the left.

64 ayes, 12 nays, the ayes have it.

I need you to get Caitlin Farquhar
on the phone for me, please.

Too late. Nobody home.

You're kidding me.

See, I voted the way I said
I was always going to vote.

My feet firmly planted.

It doesn't matter.

David Potter made a brilliant,
funny speech in Parliament

that everyone's talking about.

Funny?

Yeah, he spoke about some guy
at his school called Solly Pilchard.

What did you say?

Solly Pilchard?

Solly Pilchard was at my school.

He's... Solly Pilchard is mine.

It was hilarious.

What kind of a fucking animal
steals another...

Excuse, guys.

Well done, guys. Incredible result.

That's great.

Did you tell Harry
my Solly Pilchard story?

- Oh, my God.
- Did you?

- Cleave, you probably made it up.
- Because he is using that story.

He has used that story in Parliament.

OK, that's my story.

Cleaver, what does it matter?

An historic piece of legislation
has just gone through for a change

and you are on the right side.

Well, I mean, that's...
that was a no-brainer.

An easy moral choice.

Even more surprising!
Have you spoken to our son lately?

Ah, yes, well, tried to.

He generally pretends to be

in some non-internet-connected
Latin-speaking nation.

Something about an apple and a tree
is coming to mind.

- Can you please keep trying?
- Will do, chief.

Ah, can we expect to see more of you
around these parts?

Well, there's no shortage of people
with personal problems.

Incredible result, guys.

I mean, what a day.

Don't hurt me!

Want to feel pain?

Great game. Must get it for my kid
for Christmas.

Oh! Hello, Pablo.

Hey, Cleave.

I don't know what to do, Dad.

Yes. Yes, I figured as much.

I never wanted this baby.

I never wanted, you know,
any of this.

Look, it's a tad late to be having
those thoughts now, isn't it?

You don't think I know that?

I made such a fuckin' mess
of my life.

Well, you've still got a fair whack of it
to go, mate.

I mean, you were never not going
to fuck up with your gene pool.

Mum's not a fuck-up.

Yes, she is!

What are you, crazy?
Of course she is.

She's just a more socially
acceptable face of it.

Come on. I mean, three marriages.

You know, a little dalliance
with the LGBT department.

It's just LGBTQI.

They need a vowel, don't they?

They really need a vowel in there.

- Leg but. Leg but. Log bet.
- Dad.

I'm actually pretty bad here.

I know, mate.

I know I should come back.

Look, Missy always, always
wanted a baby.

OK? And now she's got
a beautiful baby girl.

So...that's the important thing.

I'm the worst father ever.

No, you're not.

I mean, come on. What about...

Oh, mate. There's... What about old,
you know, Mr Fritzl?

With all those kids down
in the basement? I mean, come on.

Even I'm not the worst father
in the world.

But listen to me.

You're going to have to come to some
sort of an arrangement with Missy.

OK? Something that works
for both of you.

How do people just be happy
like that?

Meet someone? Spend the rest of
their life together?

I've got no clue. You are speaking
to the wrong fuckwit, mate.

You know, people send you all these
positive thought bubbles.

"It's the things you didn't do
in life you regret."

For me it's always been the things
I did do, I regret.

But, you know, problems tend
to dissipate over time, mate,

and one day, who knows?

You might wake up and find that

you're actually head over heels
in love with this kid,

and despite your best efforts to fuck
them up they kind of love you too.

- I'll come back soon.
- Don't come back straightaway.

Go and do some stuff.

See some things.

And...and don't worry about
Missy and Winsome.

I've got my eye on them.

Alright.

See you, Cleave.

Was that him?

No.

Meaning yes?

Yes. No.

One of the two.

You know, you don't need
to protect me.

Don't I?

I feel like I took up
with a clone of you.

Talk about a sucker for pain, right?

But you think that everything
is going your way.

And then,

sneaking up on you, just disguised
as a couple of Skype calls...

..you find yourself back in that...

..old familiar terrain.

- But this time with a bubba.
- Mmm.

So that's a good thing, isn't it?

Completely.

God, I have made a lot of pretty
spectacular screw-ups in my life.

She is not one of them.

You know, I reckon
the worst thing about all of this

is the knowledge that
despite everything...

..we haven't really changed at all.

We're stuck.

Stuckety stuck.

Goodnight, Cleave.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

Oh...

Ah. Good morning, Glenda.

Dad had a painting.
And Dad always promised it to me.

But Joe said that Dad promised it
to him, which is bullshit.

Senator Greene would love to see
his constituents

but he can't find them under
all the Lego and beanie boots.

No, no, no, no!

- Order!
