Because it's
a nation-building project...

New infrastructure
of the 21st century...

If there is a buzzword in
this budget, it's 'nation-building'.

Major infrastructure projects

- right around the country...
- Real projects, real money...

A transformational vision

for the infrastructure
of the 21st century...

I want to be known as
the infrastructure Prime Minister...

This is
a nation-building budget...

Nation-building
for recovery...

Comes from the nation-building

No, no.
Nation Building Authority, Amy.

When you answered the phone before,
you said 'Nation Building Australia'.

No, they're not the same thing.

No, we have nothing to do with
the National Broadband Network,

so you don't need to reply to those.

Oh, but I've just been getting
all the reports...

Yeah, just give them the number
of the National Broadband,

and that's nothing to do with you.

- What's this thing here?
- A water audit.

They're upgrading our building
to a 6-star rating.

You need to approve our floor.

- Oh, well, I approve, so just...
- You need to sign it.

- OK.
- Where it says 'sign'. - OK.

- Is this the last I see of it? Yes?
- Um... yes.

Thank you. Katie.

- Nation Building Australia.
- Authority, Amy.

Authority.
Thank you, Katie.

Oh, a geotechnical consultant
by the name of Gavin

is coming in and I need to see him
the second he arrives.

Is he the structural engineer?

No. A geotechnical consultant
called Gavin. Yeah.

What's his last name?

If you say 'Gavin',
his head will turn round. OK?

Like, 'Gavin!'
Yeah, yeah.

Gavin. It doesn't matter
the way you say it.

OK, timelines for everyone and
I have sticky-taped them together.

Feel free to open them up.
Hey, sorry about that.

OK. Really didn't want timelines
distributed right now.

Hey, can I say something
right off the bat?

These are highly
provisional timelines.

Whatever we're gonna do,
it's gonna be a huge project,

so we haven't even begun
to do a meaningful time...

Is anyone else missing page three?
Yeah, I've got two page fours.

I wouldn't worry
about timelines right now. Yes?

Can I just clarify something?
Sure, Amy.

Red is the consultation phase,
blue is schematic...

That's about timelines again.
..yellow is design and development

and green is the documentation.
Mine's in black and white.

I wouldn't worry
about the colour-coding.

It's a general left to right...
It's the printer.

We'll get the printer fixed.
Now? No, not now.

Shall I minute that?
Minute what, Amy?

About the printer?
No, just get it fixed.

Look, you know what?
Timelines down...

Yes, Katie?
Oh!

Those ones are normal
and those ones are gluten free.

Who's gluten free?
Carol.

Who's Carol?

Carol's no longer here.

Do you want me to get the gluten
put back in?

No, leave it out for today.
OK.

Go back to gluten.

OK, can I just have
everyone's attention?

We're yet to decide exactly
what the NBA is going to do.

Who's the NBA?
Us, Scott.

Nation Building Australia.
Authority, Amy.

The point is, nothing's locked in,

so worrying about years two, three
and four is absolutely crazy.

Tony?
Is this about the timelines?

No.
OK. With the water audit...

Let's just concentrate on
Authority business for the moment.

But should I add it to the timeline?
Forget the timeline!

I'm sorry. Just, please.

There's only one thing we have to do
over the next six months,

and that is work out what is possible
on the site, which is a tricky site,

so it has a very detailed,
disciplined, technical job.

We need to really focused... on...

Yeah...

Got a second?
Sure.

Yeah. Hey, guys, how are ya?

What happened here?
Oh, it's nothing.

Just a thought.

I was driving in today
and I couldn't...

Just say it, just say it.

We need a new push.
A what?

A push. You know, like a thrust.

Again, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Something we can put out there

just to let people know
that we're on the move.

Is there a problem?
No, they love it.

Nation Building Australia.

Authority.
Authority.

It's just that since the launch,

with all the coverage
and the attention,

we came out of the blocks
with a big splash...

Sure, yeah.
..and now it's all gone a bit quiet.

But that's 'cause it was a launch.

Now we've actually got to
try and do what we said we'd do.

What did we say we'd do again?
I've sent you this five times...

In your words.

We said we'd oversee a series
of iconic and visionary projects...

Ah, yes.

..revitalise inner urban land,
three tiers of government...

Yes...nation-build for
future generations, I mean, just...

Yes, I love all of that.
Where's that gone?

In the launch.
Now we're trying to actually do it.

Great. We'll tell them that.

Tell them what?
That we're away.

That we're nation-building.
That we're being iconic.

OK, you know what?
I'll have a think about it.

Great. Nation builders!

Don't hide your light
under a bushel!

Need some sort of... push.

A push?
Or something we can announce.

Oh. A push...
What did he want?

He wants a push.
What's a push?

Oh, just to show that we're underway,
that we're on the move.

But we're not.
No.

You don't have a possibility
or a feasibility

that we could just
let out there with that?

What about the...
where did we get to on the marina?

Oh, it's very early days.

Wasn't there a ferry group...?
It's a lot more complicated.

But they stated an intention...
Whole bunch of dredging issues...

But, I mean, they want...
There's a bunch of other snags.

Can't push that.

No. Oh, remember we mentioned
the transport corridor?

Remember there was
an old railway line

with the easement still attached.
Oh, yeah.

What stage are we at on that?
That stage. The mentioning stage.

You don't have a title?
No.

But is there sort of a...
they keep the easement on the...? No.

But nothing written?
It's... mentioned.

Almost a push.
It sounds pushable.

Do you want me to have a look at it?
Yeah, could you?

Just in general terms.
Don't spend the day on it.

OK, I won't. Alright.

'Cause it might be something
that, um...

We can push.
We could push. Yeah.

It's just an annoyance, that's all,
with all the things that we've got...

Why is the water off?
Dunno.

Alright, let's think.
What are we doing right now?

Shall I get the timeline?
No, no.

I mean physically, what are we doing?

Surveying.
OK. And where are we on that?

About to start.
Oh.

Can we announce that?
What, that we haven't started?

We're about to.
Have we finished anything? No.

I mean, not that we have to -
we're just at the beginning.

Stage one.
Stage one. Of course, exactly.

All the interesting stuff
starts after that.

Stage two.

Could we announce that?
I was just thinking that.

But you can't really announce...
There's your page three.

And yours.
Thank you.

Ah, just to let you know, the water
might be off at some stage today.

It's actually off, Amy.
Oh, good.

No, but I...

I wasn't missing page three, Amy.
You can keep it as a spare.

I cannot find any record of it.

I think I've got a good map
of the line.

Oh, yep?
It's marked as a railway easement.

Excellent.
What department are you on?

Google Earth.

I think we need an official
department. Like a proper title.

Hang on, this is interesting.
What?

With Google Maps,
there's a ruler tool...

A proper title, Hugh.
Gotcha.

Close Google Earth.
OK.

Sorry. Got caught up with Helen.

Oh, how is she?
She is flat out. As am I.

Where are we at?
In what sense?

With the push.

Oh, I only found out about it
this morning, so...

Yeah, and where are we at?

Uh... we don't have one.
We need one.

Nation Building Australia
is on the move.

Authority.
Yes, with authority.

On the move, the push is on.
Yep.

This is interesting.
There was a whole report

on the train line a few years back.
Really?

Yeah.

How did you find that?
Google.

When I typed 'transport strategy'
and added 'shelved' -

'rail corridor restoration shelved'.

They did a business model.

And there was an
implementation plan as well.

I wonder what happened.

Can I just explain
something about...?

With the site, we are literally
at the pre-survey stage.

I mean, literally, the first survey
peg's about to go in the ground.

Oh, good news, we are away.
No, we're not.

We will have some things
to announce at stage two...

Mm-hm. Love it.
What did you love?

Stage two. No, I said we WILL have
some thing to announce at stage two.

Yep.
But we won't be there for months.

What are you doing now?
Stage one.

That feels finished.
Starting stage one IS stage one.

Now... we're at stage.
We're at stage two.

It doesn't make sense.
Well, it does to me, sweetheart.

Why are you being
so stingy with stages?

You can have as many as you like.
Just keep adding them.

The stages have to
actually make sense.

Like first pegs going in.
You just said it.

It's a peg.
It's not a peg. It's a peg!

Peg goes in! We begin!
Ohh...

Do you love that?
I love that.

Let's get it out there.
Begin what?

The pegs.
Yes. No.

Yes.
Rhonda. Rhonda. Rhonda.

Yes.
You're texting.

Mm-hm.
Now you're doing it under the desk.

Look, I have been doing this
a long time. Trust me.

Stage two is exactly
what we're looking for.

It's a push.
So, come on, push, push, push.

- Got a sec?
- Yeah. Uh, just give me two, guys.

Hugh found something interesting.
With Google Maps. If you...

About the railway line. Oh, yeah,
no, sorry, that is interesting.

Turns out there were plans
to recommission the old rail line.

Were there?
Quite detailed.

Any idea why the proposal
didn't get up?

I don't think
the economic model stacked up.

It was gonna be
a bit of a white elephant.

That's not for us to judge.
Sure.

Long time ago.
Not really.

But a lot's changed since then, Hugh.

My point is, we shouldn't stop
just 'cause of one small problem.

I think there were others.
Again, long time ago.

Could be a push?

Could be.
I mean, it could be THE push.

Keep going.

Be there in a sec.

Morning, Amy.
Morning.

Can I just grab you for a sec?
What did you want?

You need to choose.
What are they?

Low-flow showerheads.
And why am I choosing?

For the water audit.
Oh. Is there a difference?

Not really.
OK, well, that one.

Sure. As long as you're happy.

You said there was no diff...
OK, well, the other one.

What was that expression for?
What expression?

You just did this...

It's just that one's a bit more
expensive than the other.

You said there was no difference
between them.

Well, in water saving,
they're the same...

Well, one does save a bit more
than the other.

Which one saves more water?

Um, the... left...

That doesn't look right, does it?
No.

Which is the more expensive one?

I mean, this feels like
an announcement.

It just feels like
a long way off, though.

But it's got the word 'hub'
written on it. That reads well.

Does. Now, the problem with all
this stuff is that most of them

will take at least
the rest of the year to complete.

And stage two
gets announced next month.

Yep. When was that decided?

There was an email. From Rhonda.

Oh... Could we just say in this
office, as far as we're concerned,

there's no such thing as stage two?

Do you want me to stop
the new timeline?

It's gonna have the word stage two
in it. Fine.

In orange.
Whatever. OK.

What is something that we could start
and complete within, say, a month?

Mm. Site branding.

What's that?

I don't know.

Sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That
took longer than anything should.

No worries.
Right, how's it going?

Good, good.
The railway?

Yeah, no, good,
I spoke to a bunch of people.

No issues?
No.

Easement remains, it's all intact.

Well, that's good.

Oh, uh, one of the planners who was
involved with the original report,

he's a cyclist,
like he rides a bicycle...

I know what he does.

Well, he's part of the peak
cycling body which is a group of...

I know what a peak body is.

He had some minor reservations.
Did he?

Just a couple of queries

and wondered if he could
come in and see us.

Did he mention a bike path?

No, just a few reservations
and queries.

That's a bike path.

No, I don't think so.

Alright, you know what?
See if he can come in today.

OK.

Amy.

Why is the dishwasher
in the corridor?

Because of the audit.

What aspect?
It's 3.5 star.

Isn't that good?
We're getting a 5 star.

Well, when does that come?
Should have been here yesterday.

Well, when does this go?
Should have gone this morning.

- Tony?
- Well, yep... Yeah?

- It's Rhonda.
- Oh, Rhonda.

Scottie, can you bring your timeline?

- Rhonda, it's Tony.
- Great, love it. Hello?

- Yep. OK. Have you read the email?
- Yep.

All the way to the end?

Or just the subject heading
and the first paragraph?

Mm-hm, yep, yeah, I definitely will.

But, listen, site branding, love it.
Let's lock that in.

Yeah, can I just explain
what site branding is, Rhonda?

Mm, mm, please, go.
OK.

As it pertains to this site,
you know with big developments,

they often have a fence
with the name on it?

Mm, love it.
Yep.

And sometimes they have photos
or designs of what it will look like?

Oh, love it. Mm-hm.
Can you just stop saying 'love it'

until I've finished,
like, the whole explanation?

Sure, sure, love it, yep, mm-hm.
Yep. OK.

And sometimes they'll add a flag
or bunting or whatever.

Mm, love bunting.

Yep, yep, but at the end of the day,
with site branding,

I mean, that's all it is,
it's just a fence.

And a gate.
They often have a big gate, Rhonda.

OK, well, tick to that.

Now, we're launching stage two.

We've already got pegs,
now we've got site branding.

Sounds very exciting to me.

OK, Rhonda,
can I just ask you something?

Can we just keep a lid on it
for the moment?

Yep, yep, absolutely.

Just for now.
Mm-hm, yep.

Did you hear what I said?

Mm-hm, yep, yep.

It's just often when
you're multitasking, you-you...

Yep. Yep. Yep.
Yep, OK...

What?
Just keep a lid on it.

Yes, lid, love it.

OK.

One of the surveyors is here.
Oh, does he work with Gavin?

Possibly.

Well, does he have
a lot of plans with him?

Um...
Does he have a big tube?

Yes.
OK. Just put him in the boardroom.

Is it OK if I move the showerheads?

Hello. Sorry. Hi.
Thanks for coming in.

Natalie.
Bruce.

Nice to meet you, Bruce.
Hi. Hugh. Nice to meet you.

Tom.

Shall we start?
Yeah.

It's very early days
for the project.

We're gonna get to the broader
transport issues down the track.

I mean, we're just having a
quick look at the old railway line.

Sure. We thought we'd just
take this opportunity

to make our feelings clear.

You're not against trains, are you?

No, no.
Good.

Not per se.

But, say, there was an announcement
coming out of this office

sometime in the future.

I think it's next month.

And that announcement
was to float the possibility

of reconsidering an earlier proposal

to reconsider the possibility of
recommissioning an old train line.

I mean, you wouldn't
have an objection to that?

As we get the information,
then we can get...

Yep?

Can I grab you for five minutes?
Yeah, yeah.

I'll be right back.
Actually ten.

Or half an hour.

Why don't we take a break?

Just to have a morning tea.
Have we still got those muffins?

Yeah.
Is anyone here gluten intolerant?

Carol.

Yeah, but... she's no longer here.
She's no longer here.

No. OK.

Yep. Site branding.

It's exactly what I thought it was.
Mm-hm.

Fence you put...
I don't see what the urgency was.

I walked out on a meeting
with the geotechnical guys.

Well, it's just that Rhonda
wanted you to see an example

before our meeting.
What meeting?

With the design team.
What design team?

The site branding design team.

Uh, Karnsten's here to see you.

Yep. Yep.
If you want to just take a seat.

It's Karsten.

Karnsten? Karsten?

Karsen.
Karsten.

Sorry, Karsten. Karsten.
Karsten.

Alright, good. Here's Scott.
Scott, Karsten.

Karsen.
Karsten.

Karnsten.
Kars... No, there's no 'N'.

I suspect there's one at the end.
Yeah.

Yep. And a 'K' at the beginning?
Sure.

OK.
Yep, let's get started.

Yeah, let's away.

OK, now,
before I show you some options,

I thought we'd start
with some ideation.

Can we do that at the end?
How would that work?

What's that's mean?
Sorry, keep going, yep. Sorry.

What is the project?
I don't know that yet.

OK, well, what building or buildings
do you see being built on the site?

Oh, well, something iconic,
something visionary,

something nation-building...
There it is.

Do you know anything that definitely
will be built on the site?

Uh... definitely a fence.

Plus or minus a gate.

Yep. It looks like
we're gonna build a fence.

Mm.
Mm-hm.

OK, you said
something interesting before.

That I've got a meeting at 2:30?

That is was a place
of possibilities.

Oh, yeah, that's...
Mm, I love this. Do you love this?

This is what he does.
This is what he does.

Yep. I-T-I... Yep.

Now let's just tease that out
a little bit.

I've sort of teased it out
by spelling it.

Have we got any coloured markers
in here?

I'll get some.
Thank you, Scottie.

You might... Yep.

According to Google Earth,
I think this is the bit here.

Well, there's a train line here.
Oh, OK.

I reckon that's it, then.

Actually that's a giveaway.
See that? Railways.

Yep. Nice.

I guess it would
make a perfect bike path.

Sorry?

It's flat, wide -
I can see their point.

Can you also see a railway line?

Yeah. Yeah, no, if you look at it,
you can...

And all we're saying is, let's
use it for its original purpose.

Trains.
Yes.

Tony?

Did you need to see a Colin?
No.

Structural engineer?
Oh, yeah.

Is he here about the pilings
or the geotechnical survey?

No, he's here about a fence.

Something to do with site branding,
through Rhonda.

Can you get him a coffee
and pop him in the boardroom?

The water's still off.
I have to go downstairs.

Actually take the ten.
I'll have one as well.

Sure.

Scottie, Tony, do you know anything
about this Colin guy,

a structural engineer?
We've got him...

You did know?

No, I didn't get the email.

But my settings are the same...

Just hang on a second.

Stage two. You're a genius!

OK. Jim... OK.

Mate, you need
to understand something about...

Where'd he go?

OK, where...

Did Jim come just through here?

No?

- Colin, is it?
- Yes.

Did a guy just walk
past here with a thing on his...?

Did he?

Sorry about the rush, Colin.

No worries. I can see you're busy.

Yeah, a little bit on.
Bit more than we thought.

At the end of the day,
it's not a big job, is it?

No. But you want it
before the launch?

Oh, yeah, whenever that is.
The 22nd.

How'd you know it was the 22nd?

- At least that's what I was told.
- Yep.

Apparently they wanted
it fast-tracked?

Yep, that's right, 22nd, 9:30.

Thanks, Colin.
Yeah.

Are you right to see yourself out?
Yes.

Yeah, good on you, thank you.
Did you not get told?

Why is there two dishwashers
in the corridor?

Because the one you ordered
didn't fit. Didn't order.

We either adjust the bench
or get a different model.

Or put the first one back in.

That's 3.5 stars.
3.5 stars. Amy wants 5 stars.

Where is Amy?
Getting another dishwasher.

How's it going?

Good.
Really?

Uh, yeah, it's perfect.
The whole corridor's still there.

So there's no... planning issues
or anything like...?

None that we could find.

So there's nothing
standing in our way.

Apart from the cyclists.

How did cyclists get involved?

Well, they came in and...
They came in?!

What's the point
of all these lanyards

if we can't keep cyclists
out of here?!

I knew they had an issue.
Issue?

Why are cyclists
against an old railway line

being turned into a railway line?

They think it's the thin end
of the wedge. What wedge?

When these opportunities come up,

they feel if they don't put
their foot down, they lose out.

Oh, seriously.
I need something for the 22nd.

And right now it is a choice between

a potentially headline-grabbing
transport initiative and a fence!

You know what?
I just need one or two groups

that the journos can ring on the day

to say how wonderful it is that we
are recommitting to public transport.

That's all.
We'll do a ring around. OK.

No, very early stages.
We just want to touch base

with a few stakeholder groups.

Yes. So would the
Public Transport Users Association

be broadly supportive?

OK, just... just supportive.

So I guess what I'm asking is,
would Rail Australia be supportive?

Generally supportive? I mean,
in principle, would you support...?

Uh-huh. Why is that?

I mean, supportive and broadly
supportive are quite close in...

No, OK. Just supportive.

But in terms of support,
on a scale of 1 to 10...

Right.
And when you say 1... which end?

I'm sorry, I can't give you
an answer on tolls.

No, we're not involved
with the Very Fast Train.

No, no, that's a different group.
No, can I...?

I'm not sure
what the number is, sorry.

Well, can you explain
what those objections would be?

Oh, I was expecting... Yep.

No, no, that-that's fine.

So no is the answer. Alright.

Come on, Karnsen... Kartsen.
What's his name again?

I've forgotten
where the 'N' goes now.

Honestly, I don't know why
he can't email us this stuff.

Well, it's just Rhonda said
to get a proper feel...

Listen, take my advice,
don't listen to Rhonda, alright?

Is that something you sit on?
I think it's a sculpture.

- Morning, Tony.
- Oh, good morning, Karsten.

How are you?
Morning, Scott.

Yeah.
Have you guys been here before?

Uh, no, no.
Why don't I give you a quick tour?

Great.
Oh, look, I don't... we...

OK, great.

Now, you'll have to forgive me

if some of these seem
a little bit rushed.

It's a tight timeline
to make the 21st.

It's actually the 22nd.
No, it is the 21st.

Can you CC me on this stuff?

Just whenever you get an email
from our end,

can you fire it through to me?
She texted me.

Alright, can I get everyone
just to close their eyes?

Given it's the 21st now,
I reckon we keep our eyes open.

OK, well,
let's look at a few examples.

Oh!

OK, so, this is great, this is one
that we're doing in Brisbane.

Just with a few 3-D representations.

Yeah, that's great, uh... Karns...

You know what?
You can email this stuff to us.

I mean, you don't need to drag us
all... You're not dragging us.

Well, this way,
you get a feel for the visuals

in some sort of context.

Better ideation.
Indeed.

Now, this is...
this is something interesting.

This is one we did in Jakarta.

How'd it go?
Good. Awful.

Big long meeting about a fence.

Uh, but have you managed to come up
with anything from your side?

What?
For the push.

No.
Oh.

What do you mean 'oh'?

Public Transport Users Association.

What possible issue could they have
with public transport?

Fare structures, zones...

There was just a bunch
of potential unresolved issues.

Well, resolve them. But at least
they could support us in principle.

Not by the 21st.

AMA. That's not the AMA.

They don't have an official policy,

but it's passive transport
and they've got an obesity issue.

I think the cyclists got to them.

Why would the Rail Heritage Society
have a problem with railways?

They think the trains
might damage the tracks.

No, it's a fair point.
We're putting in new tracks.

They want to preserve the old ones.
Oh, for fuck's sake!

We're not gonna get it sorted
by the 21st.

Are you telling me
no-one is for this proposal?

Infrastructure Australia.

I mean, they'd want it as a tunnel,

so you'd have the trains
going through...

No-one? Look, I think in the end
most of them will be for it.

But not by the 21st?
No.

Shall I get the timeline?
Yeah.

No.
Nup.

Nation builders! Hey?

Here's the man
I've been looking for.

How good is this?
What?

It's a mock-up of the fence.

Have you not seen it?
No.

It's going in the press pack.
Great.

Well done.
We are all set for the 17th.

21st.
Uh, they moved the date again.

But one question
does keep coming up.

What is stage two?

No. No, no-one's asked that.

More... what's something
the ministers can do on the day?

Ministers?
Yeah, two state, three federal.

All due to you.
You should be very proud.

But what's something they can do?
I don't know, speak?

Oh, they'll speak,
don't worry about that.

Physically, once they've all said
what an exciting day it is,

is there something
they can actually do?

This is what I tried
to point out from day one...

Doesn't have to be big.

A bit of business, something
symbolic of what we're doing.

We haven't done anything.
You've put up a fence.

And a gate.
There's a gate? Mm-hm.

Can they open the gate?
It's locked.

Can they unlock it?
Maybe have an official padlock

and hand over the keys.
I love this.

No, no, no, no.
Can they plant something?

What?
A mighty oak.

It's grassland.
Why would you put tree on it?

Can they dig something? They've got
those shiny shovels they use.

We do need to do that soil testing.

Yeah, we do.
Ahh. Perfect. There's four ideas.

Yep?
Yep.

I'll leave it with ya.
Have a think, get back to me.

OK.
Great.

Which one are you gonna pick?

Parking information for you
and the delegations is just in there

and security is from 8.

- Katie, Authority.
- What?

We're Nation Building Authority.

Oh, I'll redo those sheets.

You OK?

We're about to launch a stage
in this project

that is exactly the same
as the previous stage.

And we're gonna have
five dignitaries...

Seven. Traditional owners.

Seven dignitaries standing
in front of a fence.

And a gate.
And a gate.

For the purpose
of driving a peg into the ground.

You know what really worries me?

- That Rhonda might pull this off?
- She just might pull it off.

Global share market
jitters on inflation fears,

floods continue to create havoc
in Eastern Europe

and back home, pegs in the ground,

as our nation builders
declare stage two.
