We wrote the PM’s speech: Big COVID thanks to Victorians! But sorry about defense and climate…

Friday, 15 October 2021 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Given the PM’s struggles in public oratory and inspiring leadership, Jacques and Jennifer have written a speech for him and they deliver it in this program.     

 

The PM shares his belated insight and thanks Victorians for the sacrifices they have made during COVID, thereby saving thousands of lives - not just in Victoria but also in NSW and Australia.     

 

The PM also reveals his new astonishing insights around climate change, and then admits to the folly that is AUKUS and his government's love of nuclear submarines.
