00:00Thanks Julian. Happy to take questions. Well I say to Australians on May 3, make
00:06sure you know where the destination is because it is destination chaos and
00:13destination shambles and destination cuts from Peter Dutton if he's successful
00:19next Saturday. Gentlemen thank you both for being here tonight we appreciate it.
00:24It's been a grueling four weeks on the campaign, six days to go. This time next
00:28week one of you will be the Prime Minister of the country. So I start I think with
00:34people on a hundred percent trust but he has different views, different values.
00:39Yes. I support free and fair trade. He doesn't. Can we trust Donald Trump to have
00:44our back on security? Yes and the US system of course is very important. When I
00:49went to the United States for the official visit I met with over 100 Congress
00:56people and Senators across Democrat, Republican. There's universal support for
01:03the relationship with Australia and I think that gives us confidence is that
01:07it's in the United States' interests as well as in Australia's interest for that
01:12defense and security relationship to be in place.
01:16We can trust whoever's in the Oval Office Mark and we respect the views of the
01:21American people. They've elected a president. I've been very fortunate to work
01:25closely with the Obama administration, with Trump, Mark Wan with the Biden
01:29administration and I have found even though we might have political
01:33differences, the overwhelming sense as the Prime Minister points out from
01:38Republicans and Democrats on the Hill in the Senate, in the West Wing regardless of
01:42administrations. There is a strong support for the alliance. Tesla and a very rich
01:47man. Mr Dutton? I think evil genius.
01:50Evil genius.
01:51Oh okay. Mr Dutton have you distanced yourself do you think from Mr Trump's style enough?
01:59I haven't sought to be anybody other than myself and I believe very strongly that
02:06based on my experience working with John Howard very closely, he's been my political
02:10mentor and I want to make sure we manage the economy as he did. I want to keep our
02:14country safe as any Liberal leader would do.
02:16We still have a doge. We still have a doge. Just seen a price go and run a doge.
02:19Why have you followed so many of the policies?
02:22Well government efficiency, I mean do you believe in that?
02:24Look, of course we agree in efficiency. What we don't agree with...
02:28You're Trump lied. You're Trump lied. What we don't agree with is what your assistant...
02:33You're Trump lied because you want taxpayers money spent efficiently as we're suggesting.
02:34Can I finish? Sure. Is what your assistant treasurer Luke Howarth said, which was that you would have a
02:39Department of Government efficiency based upon Elon Musk's model. He's your shadow assistant treasurer.
02:46We've said that given you've spent 425 billion... And you're going to sack 41,000 public servants.
02:50We've said that given you've spent 425 billion dollars extra, which is why people are paying more for their mortgages now,
02:57that we're going to take some of the wasteful spending that you've got in the budget, we have the highest...
03:02We've saved 207 billion dollars. We've covered a lot of ground. Six days to go. Good luck to both you. Let the best man win.
03:11That's right.
03:12You
