Ralf, does that make you think about how things are going right now?

No, to be honest, it makes me proud.Evening for every loser.Everyone deserves a trophy, but we can't all get one.We missed you in the hall last night.You were busy exchanging with the liberals in Geelong.What exactly did you do with the loggies?

0:21

I had the feeling that was my moment.When you see me go in there, I went there myself.There were three or four cameras and the focus was on me.It was a good evening and I actually just want to replace the government here in Victoria.So I bet on the liberals so that they hopefully get the job done.

0:45

Yes, well, you seem to have made up your mind, because people are not watching in the social media right now.You will be a louder voice than ever before and win some fans.

We have to get divorced.That's something to think about.But you know, we could have a divorce where we have separate houses.Sure I'm doing the right thing.So, all critics can say what they want, but I can tell you that there are a lot more supporters than critics, especially on the streets of Australia, in the whole country.People have enough of what happens with the government.

And that's why I'm very confident.Although my 13 -year -old in school doesn't agree with me. I said, well, if a 13 -year -old in school doesn't agree with me, I should probably stop.

1:22

How would you stand for a coalition of liberals and One Nation if it came to it?

1:27

I would feel good if it meant that the lab down here doesn't have the say, because they've been at it for 12 years, people, and the state is of no good value.The stories I hear every day are just insane, and there are too many stories for at least some of them to be true.$6 million for renting pot plants for a few offices.You didn't always buy the pot plants, you rented them.Pot plants.$1 .6 million.

1:57

That's the madness.That's just the tip of the iceberg.And the amount of money that was wasted here in Victoria is an absolute shame.Honestly, people should go to jail for that.They really should.So yes.

2:10

No, we have to change something in Victoria.We have to.

2:13

Well, let's...

2:14

If the real estate prices in Victoria haven't risen in ten years, that's why there haven't been any capital gains in real estate for a long time.I know why I'm doing this.Actually, I was shaken up by the household.I considered the capital gain tax to be ambitiously hostile, and I still think so.But then I started to deal with the corruption and the money waste in Australian governments.That's just unbearable and we didn't focus on it.

2:37

And we spend all our time talking about American politics and talking about football.And now, so much money was stolen right in front of our eyes that it's a shame.And I want the government to know that we're starting to check what they're doing with our money.So that's exactly what I'm doing and I have no problem with it if someone mentions me as long as it leads to someone else deals with what I actually say.So what I'm actually saying really has nothing to do with taxes.

3:04

Well, yes, it does, but only because the taxes... ...recorded.We may have to slow you down a bit because you are so passionate about the matter...But guys, look at the corruption.It's not hard to investigate.Thanks for your time, Huey.We'll see you more often in the election campaign.
