Um, Wayne, you currently are the home of the great Crater of Bunyip.
0:08
Uh, yes, I am, mate.
0:10
I am, uh, driving down here right now.
0:12
There's traffic backed up before the Bunyip Bridge, and I'm driving down here to see if people need a hand to change their tires.
0:19
It's...
0:20
It happens all the time, mate.
0:21
We are sick of this crap that the government, you know, just does not fix the roads in our area.
0:42
And, and Wayne, so my assumption is you've been suggesting to the government this is work that needs to be done, and you've been saying that for quite some time.
80:29
Um, Wayne, you're currently at the home of the great Crater of Bunyip.
80:34
Uh, yes, I am, mate.
80:36
I am, uh, driving down here right now.
80:38
There's traffic backed up before the Bunyip Bridge, and I'm driving down here to see if people need a hand to change their tires.
80:45
It's...
80:46
It happens all the time, mate.
80:47
We are sick of this crap that the government, you know, just does not fix the roads in our area.
81:08
And, and Wayne, so my assumption is you've been suggesting to the government this is work that needs to be done and, and you've been saying that for quite some time.

Now tell me, have your constituents saying to you more of these? And have you seen more of these illegal tobacco shops opening up?
56:44
Yes, I have.
56:46
In my patch in Warragul, there was one that opened up not that long ago.
56:50
It didn't last long because it got rammed and then firebombed after that, which ultimately put two other businesses out of action.
57:00
And that's the unintended consequence of these tobacco shops and the crime around them is every time one gets blown up.
57:08
Yeah, a business next door has to shut down and that costs them.
57:12
But yes, I have heard that.
57:33
Like how can the same people continue to open up these shops right across Melbourne and now into country Victoria with no sort of oversight whatsoever?
104:03
Tell our listeners why you had to watch Farmer Wants a Wife.
104:07
Well, because my daughter, the beautiful Gabby, was on Farmer Wants a Wife.
104:11
And she came to me a while ago, it was last year, and said, Dad, I applied for Farmer Wants a Wife.
104:17
And I went, holy hell, I hope you don't get on.
104:19
Anyway, she did.
104:21
She did.
104:22
She got through.
105:28
Was it weird watching your daughter on TV?
17:39
Mm-hmm.
17:39
So my advice to Gab's was [scoffs] well, basic.
17:43
Look, she's in an industry I don't know much about.
17:45
I'm a bit of a fossil when it comes to social media.
17:48
But just get in there, get your structure right.
17:52
Get your plan.
17:53
You gotta have your plan in business, whether you're starting up or whether you've been running a company for however long.

... incentivizing own- uh, you know, people to go and buy investment properties, are they?
