Bad luck about last night.

00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,470
Yeah, bad luck, Tony.
Ah, well, nice to be nominated.
25
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,550
Robbed!
26
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,390
I don't even know
who votes for those awards.
27
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,830
I think it's a panel of experts
in a variety of fields.
28
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,350
Bullshit.
29
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,070
It's just an awards night.
Yeah.
30
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,790
The CSIRO?!
31
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,870
They win one Nobel Prize and it's
all, 'Oh, all heil the CSIRO.'
32
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Nup.
33
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,830
What do you think?
Looks good.
34
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,910
Now you can get some work done
without being distracted.
35
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,470
Perfect!
Yeah, OK.
36
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,990
Open or shut?
37
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,640
Shut.
38
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,670
Keep going!
39
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,640
Wait till you hear a noise.
40
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,990
Heard it!
OK.
41
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,390
Katie.
42
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,030
Have you got a moment for Jim?
43
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,470
Sure.
When?
44
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,150
Does he have his hand
on my door handle?
45
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,030
Yes.
Now?
46
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,160
OK, Jim.
47
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,590
I like this. Ah, yeah.
It's good, isn't it?
48
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,830
Yeah. How'd you pull up?
Oh, fine.
49
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,030
I'll say it again. We were robbed.
50
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,550
Yeah, I don't think so.
51
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,670
CSIRO?!
What have those clowns ever done?
52
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,230
They sequenced the bird flu gene.
53
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,830
Pfft, cheap seats!
54
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,070
You try rolling out
a integrated urban renewal program.
55
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,070
But that's it, Jim!
We didn't roll it out. What?!
56
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,470
We just rolled out a plan.
57
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,710
We did one test site
that's been in limbo ever since.
58
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,470
Still, nice to be nominated.
59
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,150
Just listening to what those other
organisations have done last night,
60
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,030
I just couldn't help but think...
We've had this conversation!
61
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,790
Are we really achieving anything?
62
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,670
Are you kidding me?
They love you in Canberra.
63
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,670
Every time we run into trouble,
you're there.
64
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,110
That's part of the problem.
65
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,630
And what about everything
you're doing here?
66
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,710
This office. You've just
had the door frosted.
67
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,430
But in terms of completed projects.
68
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,350
What about that?
We didn't build that.
69
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,350
Really?
70
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,870
It's decoration.
Really?
71
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:38,670
It says '1915'.
72
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,110
Ah, did they finish it?
73
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,310
What do you reckon? What about
all these other great plans?
74
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,830
That's it, Jim. Plans!
75
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,390
Hey! Bird in the hand.
76
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,910
That's not a bird in the hand.
77
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,270
That's the drawing of a...
it's a plan to draw a bird!
78
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,950
With my luck, it'll be endangered.
79
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,390
You're still upset about the award.
80
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,640
I'm not upset... What did you want?
81
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,320
I don't normally do this...
but I need a favour.
82
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,350
No, I'm not speaking.
83
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,990
I know and it's a road.
I mean, it really should be...
84
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,150
OK, I am worried that we are going
to have to push the start date back.
85
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,030
Yes, again.
86
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,190
Katie! Can I get a glass of water,
please, sweetheart?
87
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,750
It sounds like you're telling me
88
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,990
there's a range of issues
affecting the completion date.
89
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,550
Hugh, will you be a darling
and get me a cup of tea, please?
90
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,910
Actually, would you mind
if I called you right back?
91
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,430
Thank you very much.
Straightaway. OK, bye.
92
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,830
Oh, lifesaver.
93
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,030
(I just need a minute.)
94
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,550
Just cut to the chase.
95
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,990
The Ord River Scheme.
96
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,150
Yep, I'm out.
No, no, hear me out.
97
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,990
Alright, but I've got
one hand on the door.
98
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,430
It's gone a bit pear-shaped.
99
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,910
Oh, it's been pear-shaped
since the day...
100
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,790
No, no, sit down! I'll admit,
it hasn't been a total success.
101
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,190
Billions of dollars sunk
into a agricultural scheme
102
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,630
that hasn't managed to come up with
one economically sustainable crop.
103
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,630
Well, that's one version.
What's the other version?
104
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,070
It's been on a stamp.
105
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,870
Jim, it's a joke!
Anyway, here's the situation.
106
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,670
We've kind of agreed
to expanding the thing.
107
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,390
OK, I am out. We're just
rolling out another phase.
108
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,750
Why would anyone agree
to something so stupid?
109
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,790
It was an election.
It got away from us.
110
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,790
The Prime Minister signed
a memorandum of understanding.
111
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,630
Why?
I don't think he understood it.
112
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,070
Jim!
What could we do?
113
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,590
Learn from history! Speak to people.
114
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,030
Did you do any research?
115
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,150
Absolutely!
And?
116
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,350
Every focus group
came back, thumbs up!
117
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,430
Jim! Every time they heard
northern food bowl - 98%.
118
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,990
Paid parental only got 70.
119
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,070
How much are they planning to spend
on it? 3... 350 million.
120
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,950
More if they can make it work.
121
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,110
Has any cost-benefit analysis
been done?
122
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,630
Oh, it's too late for that now?
123
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,110
Jim!
Next time!
124
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,630
Come on, you're great at this stuff.
125
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,430
Disaster management?
Mega projects, big-picture thinking.
126
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,030
No, I'm not going
to get dragged into
127
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,550
someone else's ridiculous scheme.
128
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,750
Alright, if you wanna say
no, just say no. No.
129
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,550
But before you do...I just did.
Let me make you a deal.
130
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,910
Have a look at it, and if it's your
call that we shelve the project,
131
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,590
then that's what we do.
132
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,030
Really?
133
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,070
We front up to the Australian
public, admit we got it wrong
134
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,760
and then you can, maybe, get back
to having a crack at this thing.
135
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,270
Ah.
136
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,830
Ooh, lovely.
137
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,870
Hey, and a biscuit?
138
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,680
Thank you.
139
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,110
That was so unfair last night.
140
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,670
I'm still livid. Livid!
141
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,070
It's just an awards night.
142
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,830
Oh, come on! The CSIRO?
143
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,150
I mean, if they'd
cured bird flu, maybe,
144
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,710
but a research program? Pfft.
145
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,870
Do you know why
we didn't win last night?
146
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,910
Because the Smart Cities program
was...
147
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,870
Because we didn't have
a professional DVD.
148
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,670
What? Every other organisation had a
first-rate audiovisual presentation.
149
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,110
I wasn't really paying attention.
150
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,990
What, you didn't see the ATO
and the 3-D thing they had there?
151
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,430
What did we have?
Ooh, a couple of slides and a logo.
152
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,150
I really don't think
that was the issue.
153
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,990
Well, I beg to differ,
and that is WHY...
154
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,430
Please, don't finish that sentence.
155
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,150
..I'm fast-tracking a DVD.
156
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,670
We don't need a DVD.
157
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,790
This organisation needs
professional audiovisual materials.
158
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,990
This organisation needs
to finish a project.
159
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,790
In the meantime,
let's celebrate our achievements.
160
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,230
Shouldn't we wait
until we have some?
161
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:03,590
And let the Australian Tax Office
walk all over us again?
162
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,150
Ooh, not on my watch!
163
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,800
No, no, not gonna happen.
164
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,190
I just can't believe
this is what we...
165
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,750
No, bring them in.
Oh, good.
166
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,040
We just don't need to have a banquet
every time we get a meeting.
167
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,470
OK, thank you.
168
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,270
I thought this was sorted
three months ago.
169
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,030
We're about to have
a completed piece of road in Perth.
170
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,550
Like, a pretty simple build!
171
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,990
And now you're telling me...
172
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,470
It's stalled.
Oh, you said stopped.
173
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,270
And has anyone been able to give you
a clear explanation as to why?
174
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,710
There's an issue between
Main Roads WA and the contractor.
175
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,150
Oh, you're kidding me.
176
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,990
And there's an issue
between State and Federal.
177
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,230
And there's an issue between the PPP
and the Infrastructure Authority.
178
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,950
That's enough, Hugh.
179
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,430
There's one with Financing too.
180
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,670
Is there any chance we can
get all these groups together?
181
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,670
Well, they've set up a new group...
Well, a taskforce.
182
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,950
..to try and get all the groups
on the one page,
183
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,550
but now they've got an issue
as well, so they've turned to us.
184
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,670
This is exactly what
I was talking to Jim about!
185
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,110
We've got to get a project completed!
186
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,750
We've gotta get
some runs on the board
187
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,190
or seriously, I fear for our future.
188
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,670
Do you want me to head to Perth?
No! Get them here!
189
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,230
Get the key people in this room.
Find out why nothing's being done!
190
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:06,030
I wanna hear the sound
of bulldozers. Got it.
191
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,230
Is this a bad time to raise
the party? What party?
192
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:09,670
We're coming up
to our first anniversary.
193
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,990
Don't remind me.
194
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,190
We need to decide how
we'd like to mark the occasion.
195
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,710
A minute's silence.
196
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,150
What was that?
Just keep going.
197
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,430
Katie and I were thinking
maybe we should have a party here.
198
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,710
Oh, yeah!
199
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,070
Alright, OK. But Amy, Katie -
200
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,390
I don't want the preparation for
this party to distract the office.
201
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,390
Sure. Can I just ask one question?
Yes. About the catering? Yes.
202
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,990
Is everyone happy with Mexican?
203
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,190
Yeah!
204
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,040
Yes, they love it!
205
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Sorry, guys, not finished.
206
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,830
Here she is. Come on in.
207
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,870
Rhonda, I am smack bang
in the middle of something.
208
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,310
Doesn't matter. Karsten's on fire.
209
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,830
We've had some great ideas already.
210
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,270
They're just thought-starters, OK?
211
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,270
There's still a lot of room here
for your imput.
212
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,310
I could just email you.
No, no, don't be silly.
213
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,070
As someone who is at the coalface,
214
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,070
I want you to tell us
what the NBA is all about.
215
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,150
First thoughts, no wrong answers.
216
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,110
Um, we're about...
identifying, planning
217
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,550
and implementing long-term
infrastructure needs...
218
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,310
..with a view to facilitating
their delivery.
219
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,990
And we just lost the 18 to 35s.
220
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,590
What?
I'm gonna pop down dreams.
221
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,030
Ooh, and we're back.
222
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,990
I never said dreams.
I think you meant to.
223
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,430
No, I didn't.
224
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,590
OK, and I think you're also saying
that the NBA is about vision.
225
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,710
I can see that.
That is crystal clear!
226
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,470
You know what?
I've actually got work to do.
227
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,710
That is good. What are you
working on at the moment?
228
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,310
A section of road in Perth.
229
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,230
No, a dream.
230
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,070
OK.
And what's driving it?
231
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,870
A deadline.
Passion.
232
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,790
What? That's what
I'm seeing here - passion.
233
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,350
It's not passion.
I'm just pissed off.
234
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,990
No, no, no, no,
don't be pissed off.
235
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,710
Just funnel your energy
through Karsten.
236
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,150
(Come on, get involved.)
237
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,710
Power of passionate people!
238
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,070
Aw, now we're away!
Getting things done.
239
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,350
No, see that's my problem -
we're not getting things done.
240
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,990
I don't see that as a problem, OK?
241
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,550
What see is that you
are striving to create pathways
242
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,310
to forge better communication.
243
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,270
I see you overcoming obstacles
in order to achieve a dream.
244
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,950
We're just trying to finish a road.
You're very much mistaken.
245
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,630
OK, I'm gonna knock together
a few storyboards.
246
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,070
Ooh, love it!
247
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,550
'Cause I see a pretty important
little film happening here.
248
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,110
I'm just gonna...
249
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,430
Film... that would be exciting.
I would love a film.
250
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,270
The top end of Australia is harsh country,
251
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,350
but no match for a bit
of Aussie ingenuity and manpower.
252
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:25,070
The mighty Argyle dam holds 18 times
more water than Sydney harbour.
253
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,990
Precious water that will
soon turn this desert
254
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,190
into a veritable food bowl.
255
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,070
I'm pretty sure we studied this
at high school.
256
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,430
We did Lasseter's Reef.
257
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,990
Lasseter's Reef was a myth.
258
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,550
Well, so they say.
259
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,350
Yep, but they actually built
the Ord River scheme.
260
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,990
I know. I saw it.
It's very impressive.
261
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,990
Yeah, if you're a member
of the local yacht club,
262
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,830
but in terms of it
becoming a food bowl,
263
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,630
let's just say
it hasn't quite gone to plan.
264
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,030
Even with Aussie ingenuity?
265
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,470
Yeah, it's 40 years old.
266
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,470
Anyway, let's get up to date
with what's happening now,
267
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,710
who's running it, what are they
planning and what's going wrong?
268
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,110
OK, got it.
OK.
269
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,550
Is it OK if I watch
the rest of the video? Why?
270
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,750
I just wanna see how it works out.
I told you how. It doesn't.
271
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,230
Spoiler alert!
272
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Thanks, guys.
Thank you. Thank you.
273
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,990
Cheers.
274
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,550
All the way.
275
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,600
Until you hear a sound!
276
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,150
Heard it.
277
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,230
OK, now this will
probably just be overlay.
278
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,990
You know, some staff testimonials
showing the workers and the work.
279
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,750
Very much the people and projects.
280
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,350
You know, sort of
visual building blocks.
281
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,470
We did something similar
with the mining cuts.
282
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,110
Oh, I loved that one!
Namaste, namaste, thank you.
283
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,590
OK, now everybody ready?
284
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,990
And Amy, I want you
just to turn to camera,
285
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,270
pick up the phone and say,
'Hello, Nation Building Authority.'
286
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,910
But it's not ringing.
Well, just pretend.
287
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,390
Right.
OK, and action.
288
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,910
Hello, Nation Building Authority.
289
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,350
No, pick up the phone first.
290
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,350
The turn. Turn, phone, speak.
Sorry, you did say...
291
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,790
No, it's alright. Don't think.
About what? About anything.
292
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,720
OK - and still rolling - and action!
293
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,390
I'm thinking. Are you thinking
about the phone ringing?
294
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,910
No.
Hmm.
295
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,350
Ah, so the dam was finished in 1972.
Thanks to Aussie ingenuity.
296
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,910
Yeah, I've seen the video.
297
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,030
The water was used to grow
cotton, rice and sugar.
298
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,310
All of which were failures.
Do we know why?
299
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,790
According to the CSIRO,
the extreme climate,
300
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,750
poor soil and massive distances.
301
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,030
Basically, the whole
northern food bowl was...
302
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,390
..they had a technical name for it.
303
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,310
A pipe dream? Unviable due to
excessive input costs.
304
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,990
And a caterpillar
who ate the cotton.
305
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,630
So stage one was a joke.
306
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,630
Unviable.
What did they do then?
307
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:25,070
Rolled out stage two.
308
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,870
Yeah, this time with
mangoes, sorghum, chia -
309
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,750
I'm not sure what that is -
and, um...
310
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:29,750
Sandalwood.
311
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,190
So what went wrong this time?
312
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,710
Again, input costs.
313
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,430
And that caterpillar came back.
314
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,190
They also tried rice again,
but it was hit by a fungus.
315
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,030
They lost an entire crop
to a fungus?
316
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,750
No, only half a crop.
317
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,710
The other half
was eaten by magpie geese.
318
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Somehow they found out
about the rice.
319
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,830
CSIRO didn't have an answer
for that, did they?
320
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,270
Scotty, let it go.
321
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,710
No.
322
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,390
OK, and with
the chicken enchiladas,
323
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,720
do we need to order
a separate salsa dip?
324
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,880
And is that per person?
Sorry, per gringo?
325
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,790
Alright, and if you could
just email through a quote.
326
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,320
OK, thanks.
327
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,070
How'd you go with Perth?
328
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,670
For the freeway.
329
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,390
Organising for the key players
to come across.
330
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,630
Oh, yes!
331
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:14,310
Sorry, I've got it on my list.
332
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,110
Can I just ring
the taco cart man first?
333
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,960
Katie!
I'll ring them right now.
334
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,550
Oh, and Nat!
Yes.
335
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,950
Do you know anything about pinatas?
336
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,430
It's ringing.
337
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,830
Alright, so stage two
was an unmitigated disaster.
338
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,550
Oh, no, they didn't use
that term but...
339
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,590
It underperformed.
340
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,430
But they got on top
of that caterpillar.
341
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,030
I think the magpie geese ate it.
342
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,150
Keep going.
343
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,630
Ah, yeah, sorry. So for stage three
they've gone back to sugar.
344
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,230
Right. OK, well,
that's great guys, thanks.
345
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,350
Fingers crossed.
346
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,910
Alright, everybody looking at me.
347
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,750
OK, looking at me.
I want everyone to all be working.
348
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,350
Bit of movement, thought.
349
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,830
Look like you're planning things.
350
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,750
You're the engine room
of the NBA, OK?
351
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,430
And working, acting.
352
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,710
And tracking left, tracking left,
tracking left.
353
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,830
And cut.
354
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,990
Sorry, these are for me.
355
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,390
Katie.
356
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,040
Oh, if a guy drops off some
taco shells, can you buzz me?
357
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,030
OK, just bring it back.
358
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,270
First positions!
359
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,070
Given these largely
insurmountable obstacles
360
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,550
and lack of any
clear solutions to the...
361
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,750
Hugh, is Tony in there?
362
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,430
Ah, I don't know, sorry.
363
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,150
Scott, is Tony in there?
364
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,910
I'm not sure. We'll have a listen.
365
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,350
I'm in here!
366
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,870
I can hear him.
367
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,670
Sorry, can I have a moment?
368
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,230
Yeah, could you just
give us five minutes?
369
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,680
Sure.
370
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,110
Alone.
371
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,640
Yep.
372
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,830
I can still see you!
373
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,760
Oh.
Still!
374
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,950
Thank you.
375
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,390
Can you read that back to me?
376
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,910
Ah, given these largely...
377
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,350
No, before that.
Go back a paragraph.
378
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,390
The scheme is fundamentally flawed.
379
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,910
To be truly viable, we would have to
secure four times the amount
380
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,750
of irrigated farmland, as well as
implement an unprecedented upgrade
381
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,350
of road, rail and water
infrastructure.
382
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,430
Given these...
383
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,190
Given these largely
insurmountable obstacles
384
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,470
and lack of any clear solutions,
we have no choice but to recommend
385
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,350
that any further expansion of the
scheme be suspended indefinitely.
386
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,950
In short, our priorities
lie elsewhere.
387
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,120
Yours sincerely, blah blah blah.
388
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,670
OK.
389
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,110
Send it to Jim first thing tomorrow?
390
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,630
That'd be great.
OK.
391
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,070
Can I get you a coffee?
Sure.
392
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,950
OK.
Oh, and Katie.
393
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,350
Can you think of a...
I mean, not that you have to,
394
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,230
but just off the top of your head,
can you think of a project
395
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,030
that we're doing here
that's, sort of,
396
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,070
achieving something for the future?
397
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,630
How do you mean?
398
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,230
Well, a project that
you've been impressed with.
399
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,030
The northern food bowl.
Sounds great!
400
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,350
Yeah, but we're not
proceeding with it.
401
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,470
Yeah, when you do, amazing!
402
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,280
Yeah, but a different project.
403
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,750
I'll have a think.
404
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,750
OK.
405
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,750
Yeah.
406
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,550
Do you want me to get Amy back?
Yep.
407
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,070
Sure. OK.
408
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,630
Amy!
Here!
409
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,230
Whoa!
410
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,430
Alrighty. Now, I'm just
gonna ask you a few questions, Hugh.
411
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,030
Do I look at you? Ah, no, no.
Straight down the camera. OK.
412
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,430
And then back to you?
No, don't look at me at all.
413
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,790
I just don't want to be rude.
Understood. OK, rolling up.
414
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,350
I can look at him?
He's the cameraman.
415
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,790
Sorry, what's going on?
416
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,230
Um, staff testimonials.
417
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,430
Just getting some grabs
of what the job means to you,
418
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,950
what we're achieving.
419
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,310
Actually, we'll need to pop you in
at some point so don't...
420
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,150
Um, I actually need Hugh now.
421
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,790
We've got a team
from Perth flying in
422
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,190
for a meeting and we need to prep.
423
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,150
Ooh, should we film that meeting?
424
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,750
Yes.
Oh, probably not.
425
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,190
Ooh, what about the prep?
No, just...
426
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,390
Good idea. No, that's fine.
Just whenever he's done.
427
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,390
Tony, I thought
of something that we do here
428
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,910
that'll make a difference
in the future.
429
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,950
Oh, yeah?
430
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,320
We recycle!
431
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,430
You're pausing...
432
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,950
Do you want me to keep thinking?
433
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,910
I'll keep thinking.
434
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,990
Shut!
435
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,310
Oh, yep.
436
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,830
Did it!
437
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,630
Don't look at you or the cameraman.
Ah, no.
438
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,070
What about Rhonda?
439
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,750
Ah, no, no, no.
Straight into the camera.
440
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,270
Barrel it?
Barrel it!
441
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,470
That's exactly right.
OK, now let's start again.
442
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,270
What is the NBA?
Do you say action?
443
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,470
Ah, yes.
444
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,110
And action.
445
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,830
We're a conduit.
446
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,990
A means to funnel great ideas
from concept stage to reality.
447
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,800
Excellent, and what do you see
as your role?
448
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,480
I'm a tool.
449
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,110
Do you say cut?
450
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,630
Ah, yeah. And cut.
451
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,030
Is that a wrap?
No, not yet. No.
452
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,430
It's Louise, isn't it?
Yes.
453
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,870
Oh, great. Very nice
to finally put a face to a name.
454
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,830
Oh, you too.
I know you're just in Sydney...
455
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Anywhere?
Yes, anywhere you like.
456
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,550
So thanks so much for making
the effort to come across.
457
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,990
We understand
how important this is.
458
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,630
I just feel there's been
layers upon layers
459
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,990
of bureaucrats and supervisors.
460
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,430
We know what you mean.
461
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,750
I thought we'd go straight to
the people at the coalface.
462
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,750
Great idea, and we're so often
operating in different silos,
463
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,030
so it's a good chance
to get us key players together.
464
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,750
Right, and that's what
we're here to do -
465
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,390
find out what's happening
with the road,
466
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,910
why the delay,
467
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,830
how can we help facilitate
and lock in a clear timeline.
468
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,870
Excellent idea.
469
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,950
Now before we go any further,
can I just clarify everyone's roles?
470
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,950
Er, David?
471
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,230
I head up our media unit.
Government communications.
472
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,190
Sorry, David, probably
didn't need you to fly over...
473
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,150
No, no, no, it's important. We need
to get the message out on the...
474
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,430
..the road.Road!
That it's moving ahead.
475
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,270
Right. Um, Louise? Your role is...
476
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,870
PR. I work closely with David.
477
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,310
OK, well, yep.
478
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:27,990
Ah, Matt?
479
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,790
I'm on the other end of things.
Good.
480
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,590
Marketing and promotions.
481
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,830
Jeremy?
482
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,270
I work with Matt.
483
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,670
Is anyone here not from media or PR?
484
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,350
Community liaison.
485
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,830
Anyone involved in actual
engineering or construction?
486
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,830
Well, I'd like to think
we're all involved in...
487
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,880
Does anyone own a hard hat?
488
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,150
Well, I've got access to one.
489
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,550
Site visits, photo opportunities.
It's good.
490
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,390
I can borrow Matt's.
491
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,910
Yeah.
Great!
492
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,350
You wanted
the team from Perth?
493
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,430
The Construction team.
They're all PR and marketing.
494
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,190
I should have picked it from their
iPhone covers. Isn't that good?
495
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,190
We're not trying to sell
a road but build one.
496
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,190
They said they were running it.
Sign of the times.
497
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,270
Can I just get you
to clear the set?
498
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,790
I want the construction team.
499
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,070
Got it.
500
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:14,760
OK. Now Amy, I want you to walk up
to Katie and just hand her the file.
501
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,630
Like that?
502
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,790
Yes, actually that is not a file.
503
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,990
It's a menu. You said to use
something we're working on.
504
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,430
It's for our anniversary party.
505
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,080
We're having Tex Mex.
506
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,270
I'm not sure if he's in, Jim.
507
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Oh, that's OK. I'll give him a call.
508
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,960
(Oh, shit.)
509
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,110
Hey, Jim.
510
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,630
Why are you whispering?
511
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,600
Just because I didn't want to...
512
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:59,120
It's alright, Katie, I'm actually in!
513
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,070
Sorry about that, big mix-up.
514
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:03,630
There you are!
515
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,350
Yeah, yeah.
Well...
516
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,470
Is everything OK?
Spoke to Canberra.
517
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,990
How'd they take it?
518
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,750
It's a big step.
It's the right step.
519
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,670
Admit this was a mistake,
eat a shit sandwich
520
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,190
and save the nation billions.
521
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,310
They actually preferred
your other option.
522
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:17,830
There was no other option.
523
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,590
'To be viable, the Ord river scheme
would need four times
524
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,990
the amount of irrigated land.'
Jim...
525
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,830
'An unprecedented upgrade,
economies of scale, subsidies,
526
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,070
grants, tax breaks.'
527
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:29,070
I didn't write that.
Yes, you did. It's right there.
528
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:30,470
Yeah, but I didn't suggest it.
529
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,070
I was building a case
for the negative!
530
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:35,150
Four times, unprecedented upgrade,
economies of scale -
531
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,670
I went through two highlighter pens.
532
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,590
But they're suggestions
against the proposition.
533
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,990
Against?
Yes!
534
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,590
Did you ever do debating?
Jim!
535
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,110
The PM has said yes.
536
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,310
No.
537
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,270
He's willing the quadruple
the whole enchilada.
538
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,230
Everyone was in a panic
over this thing,
539
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,790
but when Cabinet
saw your proposal...
540
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,230
It's gone to Cabinet?!
541
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,870
Fastest passage since I've been
there. They practically applauded.
542
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,990
Now give me your speech
about not achieving anything.
543
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,590
Keep this up, we could
have a crack at that thing.
544
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:03,030
When 'no' is just
the first syllable in knowledge.
545
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,240
When dreams break free
of their foundations.
546
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,000
Welcome home!
547
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,750
Yeah, I'm a little worried.
548
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,310
I'm a little confused.
549
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:19,830
I think Karsten might have gone
too high-concept with this.
550
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,190
What happened to all the interviews?
551
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,830
Oh, they didn't work. Everyone was
too vague about what they do here.
552
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,270
And that's supposed
to clarify things?
553
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,070
We need to start again.
Or stop.
554
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:28,670
Can't stop now.
555
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,230
I've spoken to the media unit.
556
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,990
They've got an idea
apparently, so...
557
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,680
Get Katie to pop that out and
get it back to me? Thanks, darling.
558
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,230
Tony? Are you OK, Tony?
559
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,800
Go away!
560
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,070
Not now?
I don't think so.
561
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,590
That's great news.
562
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,030
Absolutely.
563
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,790
Keep me in the loop. Cheers.
564
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,240
Minister for Regional Development.
565
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,110
They've given us
major project status.
566
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,630
Oh, God.
567
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,110
They've set up
a cross-agency taskforce.
568
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,710
We're making a massive mistake.
569
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,550
What do you mean? Thanks to you,
we've dodged a bullet.
570
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,030
This scheme has no chance of working.
571
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,630
Every report says so.
572
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,190
Don't let science
stand in the way of a good idea.
573
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,990
Even the CSIRO are down on us.
574
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,390
Yeah, well, they won't win
the PM's award next year, will they?
575
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,070
Can we just forget about awards?
576
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:18,950
OK, but focus on the positives.
577
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,230
There are billions
of starving people right now.
578
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,750
How's that a positive?
579
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,390
We're building a food bowl!
580
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,110
It's like that song.
581
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,030
You know, feed the world.
582
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,070
Let them know it's party time.
583
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:31,710
Christmas time.
584
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,200
Are you sure?
Yes.
585
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,910
Nat?
Yep.
586
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,350
Did you want to speak with Lindsay?
587
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,110
Who's Lindsay?
The building manager.
588
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,790
Tell him I'm in a meeting.
589
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,470
Ah, she's in a meeting.
590
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,030
Sorry, Lindsay!
I was thinking of another...
591
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,590
What's up?
592
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,670
I just got your email
about the smoke detectors.
593
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,990
What about them?
You want them disabled on the 15th.
594
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,790
Who's requested that?
595
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,270
Um, not sure. Something about
an anniversary party, open flames.
596
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,950
Yeah, can I just check on that
and get back to you?
597
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,440
Yeah, no worries.
Great, thanks, Lindsay.
598
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,030
It's so they don't
accidentally go off.
599
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,830
Why would our smoke detectors
go off?
600
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,350
From the flames
from the chili cart.
601
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,590
The what?! To cook the Mexican food
for the party.
602
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,950
It's going to cost
thousands of dollars.
603
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,030
No, the food's really cheap.
It's the margaritas...
604
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,710
Not the food, the fire alarms, OK?
605
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,470
And according to this,
we're gonna have to pay
606
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,110
to have two members of the
fire brigade to be here all night.
607
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,750
Do you think they'd mind
wearing sombreros?
608
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,470
You know what? I don't care.
609
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,550
I just want to get back
to this road.
610
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,670
What did the Perth team say?
611
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,950
(Oh.)
612
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,390
You said you were
gonna call them...
613
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,070
We had an issue with the party.
Katie...
614
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,750
She had to change mariachi bands.
615
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,750
Look, I'm not saying
there aren't a few negatives.
616
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,990
Negatives?! Massive costs,
logistical nightmares,
617
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,190
environmental issues.
618
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,750
There's no business model
to speak of.
619
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,870
But what about
all the pluses? What pluses?
620
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,310
We don't get accused
of backflipping, there's the launch,
621
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,350
there's the announcables
at ASEAN and APEC.
622
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,150
So it's pretty much, urgh.
623
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,710
Yeah, I think it's
a little more urrrgh.
624
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,190
Which is the good hand?
625
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,430
The...
626
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,230
If we go through with this,
we'll be stuck
627
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,310
with another white elephant
for another 50 years.
628
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:03,350
Well, we've got an election
in three so, urgh, evens out.
629
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,870
Yeah, well, I don't know.
630
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,990
Before you go, Tony, there's
something else I have to tell you.
631
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,430
Um, there might be a few changes.
632
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,000
With the authority?
Yeah.
633
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,750
I just wanted to give you
a heads up.
634
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,710
Can't say I didn't see it coming.
635
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,670
I can't tell you
too much right now but... yep.
636
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,000
Well, thanks for letting me know.
Yeah, no worries.
637
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,990
You sure it's Christmas time?
Yes.
638
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,470
What sort of changes?
639
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,070
He didn't say,
but he gets the feeling
640
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:29,710
Canberra are planning
a bit of a shake-up.
641
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,110
They're just sick of all the
confusion over projects and agencies.
642
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,630
Can't blame them.
643
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,470
Yeah, they just wanna
streamline things a little.
644
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,590
We're gone.
645
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,040
I wouldn't be surprised...
given our lack of achievements.
646
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,910
We have managed to finish one thing.
647
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,150
What's that?
648
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,270
Rhonda's video.
649
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,270
I thought that was a disaster.
Ah, second video.
650
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,070
So we've managed to complete two
promotional DVDs, but no project?
651
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:53,680
Yeah.
652
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:57,000
Says it all.
653
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,790
The job's not over yet.
654
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,430
A big country calls for big dreams.
655
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,550
Big vision. For our future.
656
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,190
Their future.
657
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,430
When it comes to planning for a
better tomorrow, we're in safe hands,
658
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,070
because together we are
Nation Building Australia.
659
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:17,470
Wow!
660
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,270
Well, what did you think?
661
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,790
It's an amazing series of projects
we've had nothing to do with.
662
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,230
I love it!
663
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,350
Come on, everyone!
The margarita bar is open!
664
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,040
I'd like to see the CSIRO
party like this.
665
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,830
You know what?
I reckon that could go viral.
666
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,630
It screened in Canberra
last night.
667
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,110
PM had tears.
668
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,710
Treasurer choked up.
669
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,350
Haven't seen him that emotional
since budget estimates.

Yay!

Do you reckon
they know any other tunes?
682
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,960
I doubt it.
683
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,070
Well, to our first anniversary.
684
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:40,120
Yeah, to our first anniversary.
685
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,430
Guys, guys! Have a go at the
pinata. What happened to the club?
686
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,950
Broke. Made of sandalwood.
687
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,910
Be there in a second. You can stab
it. It's actually more effective.
688
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,390
Oh, OK. We'll be there.
689
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,790
Ah, can I grab you for a word?
690
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,590
Now?
Yeah, and you too, Nat.

♪ La cucaracha, la cucaracha

00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,230
♪ Ya-da-da-di-di-di-da

♪ La cucaracha,
la cucaracha... ♪
694
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,470
Well, just had it confirmed.
Did Tony mention?
695
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,990
Yeah, I gave her a heads-up.
696
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,910
So go on, put us out of our misery.
697
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,430
We're being closed down.
698
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,710
Yep!
699
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,150
Look, I totally understand.
I mean, this... it's madness.
700
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,990
Hey, hey, I haven't finished yet.
701
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,790
They don't want a Nation Building
Authority as it currently is.
702
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,950
They want to make YOU
a whole department.
703
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,630
A department?!
704
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,910
Yep!
705
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,910
Permanent?
706
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,190
Massively expand this place,
roll it out in every capital city.
707
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,150
He wants you to keep doing
what you're doing,
708
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,670
but on a much larger scale.
709
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,270
Jim, we haven't built anything!
710
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,390
But it's been such a success
in every other way!
711
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,190
Wow! The Department of Nation
Building and Infrastructure.
712
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,430
Answerable to the PM.
713
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,590
You'll have to change
your logo, of course but...
714
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,030
Here they are!
715
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,710
Happy anniversary.
Thanks.

♪ LA CUCARACHA
717
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,040
How good's this?
718
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,190
There you go.
I reckon that's done it.
719
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,430
Yep, that's good.
That's great!
720
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,670
Yeah, sorry it took a little longer.
No, no, that's fine.
721
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,430
If it's a job worth doing,
it's worth doing right, isn't it?
722
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,470
Absolutely.
Yeah, don't you reckon?
723
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,790
What do you guys do?
Oh, we sort of plan stuff.
724
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,070
Oh, well, we do
a little bit more than that.
725
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:28,950
Yeah, what kind of stuff?
726
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,430
Oh, well, at the moment
it's mostly planning stuff but...
727
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,390
We just got nominated for an award.
728
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,990
Really? What for?
729
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,390
An integrated urban renewal program.
730
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,910
Aw, how's that going?
731
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,590
Ah, well, it hasn't... it's, um...
been in the planning phase.
732
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,110
Oh, yeah. Who's it for?
733
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,550
Um, a short list of two cities.
734
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,270
Yeah, yeah. When?
735
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,470
No time frames locked in now,
but it's creeping up on it.
736
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,630
Yeah.
