I was against the headline shock, but for a while I couldn`t find any other word to describe what it was like to listen to that interview yesterday.
2GB is the highest-rated local radio station in Sydney, with 14.7% of the audience in Sydney in 2010. I heard this interview from Breakfast with Alan Jones, the Alan Jones Breakfast News.
The two men in the conversation were host Alan Jones, whose show was popular in Sydney and had some influence in the Australian media, the equivalent of local names like Memphis.
The woman is (Gladys Berejiklian)., the current prime minister of the new state, Gladys Brigilyn.
In Australia, the federal government prime minister is called Prime Minister, the prime minister of government is called Premier, the two titles are difficult to distinguish in Chinese. State Prime Minister government is the head of the state government, the equivalent of China`s governor, senior provincial and ministerial level.
My understanding of the interview with government officials was as follows: the moderator prepared the questions to be submitted to the government, government for screening; when the questions were confirmed, the secretary wrote the answers to the questions; During the interview, the moderator simply asked questions in order, and the officials talked about the great achievements of the department.
Ideas should be harmonious, questions and answers should be orderly, hosts should be humble and courteous, officials should sing, and listeners should rejoice.
But this kind of host in Australia is aggressive, the problem is sharp and sharp, the official nodded the interview really let me three values a shock, half a day can not return to God.
In short, the media here do not regard officials as officials at all.
I`ll translate the phone interview selectively below. The level is limited, if you have misheard, please forgive me.
Host: yesterday, as I mentioned, this morning I will interview New State Prime Minister Gladys Brigilyn, who, despite her difficult situation, is still doing a good job.
At first it sounds like flattering.
She took over a mess-government merger, curfew, dog race ban, container recycling program, flying fox problem. These are all good things the previous government did.
Mandatory curfew: bars in downtown Sydney are closed in the middle of the night to reduce nighttime crime.
The dog ban: Greyhound Racing was originally a traditional race, but government banned the race after it was discovered that the dog racer was using live objects as bait.
Container recycling program: drink suppliers pay to recycle those bottles and cans that have been drunk.
Flying Fox problem: Flying fox is an Australian bat, a conservation animal, but often causes problems to the lives of residents.
Host: I invited the Prime Minister to this show today for a reason. I have told her that she is prepared to "kick a free kick" because I have heard enough lies about spending on new state infrastructure.
(the tone is beginning to be impolite)
Since 2011, the Liberal Party government has spent 111 billion on gymnasiums and now has a 81 billion budget, and 81 billion is said to be less than 1% of the total infrastructure.
In her budget, 14.9 billion was spent on education, up 10%; 21.7 billion on health care, a record high; and 72.8 billion on road repairs.
All right, the prime minister is on the line. Good morning, Prime Minister.
Prime Minister: good morning, Alan. Thank you for your introduction.
Host: you`re welcome, please.
Prime Minister: thank you. What we are doing is not only infrastructure, but also a change in the community. In medical terms, we upgraded or built 77 new hospitals, 77 communities have new hospitals or new medical facilities.
Host: go on. Take it easy, let you blow the atmosphere for a while
Prime Minister:
In the area of education, we have built and renovated 59 schools. In the next four years, we will fund 3000 new classrooms. I know the crowd has been calling for this for a long time, but it will cost at least 30 billion, you know.
We can only know that it cannot be done. Our finances are still in deficit, but we are still trying to revitalize the economy and be careful. Every time we say we want to reform the budget, the Labour Party always opposes it. Every time we need money for infrastructure, they have to oppose it. But in order to hurry up the needs of the masses, we still have to muster the courage to get the money.
There`s road and rail construction. I`m not just talking about the North Sydney Highway Tunnel. I`m talking about upgrading rural areas, such as the Pacific Highway. Next, we have to build 2000 kilometers of roads in the mountains and mountains.
What a prime minister, what a government
Host: all right. You and your people have revolutionized the new state. Let`s talk about the hospital again. Can we repeat what we just said? To ask the prime minister to repeat, who do you think you are
Prime Minister: we upgraded or built 77 new hospitals, 77 communities have new hospitals or new medical facilities. (but the prime minister did say it again.)
Host: where`s the school?
Prime Minister: we have built and renovated 59 schools. In the next four years, we will fund 3000 new classrooms.
Host: Gladys Brigilyn is a lady, and I can`t be a gentleman. But Lu Ke Frey (Luke Foley is the leader of the New State Workers` Party. What have you done with your party?
You promised to build a high-speed railway from Newcastle to Central Coast, not to do it.
You promised to build a railway from Hurstville to Strathfield, not to do it.
You promised to build a high-speed railway from Suntherland to Wollongong, not to do it.
You promised to build a railway from Parramatta to Chatswood, and now to Epping..
Lu Ke, I did some homework, you can fool some of your media friends, but can not fool me.
You promised to build the Northwest Metro, but you didn`t do it.
You promised to build a new seaport corridor in CBD, and you didn`t do it.
You promised to build a subway from CBD to Rozelle, not to do it.
You promised to build the east line of the M4 highway, not to do it.
You promised to widen the M5 highway and failed to do so.
You promised to connect the F3 and M2 highways and failed to do so.
You promised to extend the F6 highway, not to do it.
I`m afraid the current prime minister can hear two cold sweats at last-fortunately, it`s not against me.
All right, Gladys, I want you to be a man of your word. Now can we talk about the next topic?
Did you see how I scolded my ex? If you don`t do it well, that`s the end of the day
Prime Minister: of course.
(it is possible to imagine an attitude of malaise against obedience.)
Moderator:
Last time, in January 2014, I asked you why you supported the revocation of the licenses of both Cascade Coal and New Coal (, and you said this was the recommendation of the ICAC (Independent Anti-Corruption Authority) report.
Now I tell you that the report is wrong. Despite ICAC`s indiscreet actions, their director has demanded compensation for innocent victims. And New Coal is the innocent victim, which was confirmed by the Supreme Court.
The claim has been with you for three months, and now I ask you, would you like to come with me to New Coal, and tell them that they will be compensated according to ICAC`s advice?
Prime Minister: of course, I will listen to the advice, and I feel the same. So far, I don`t think I`ve done anything wrong.
Host: I know Gladys is going to make amends to innocent victims. I know you`ve got a mess. I know you`re a good woman. I hope you take good care of the good citizens of the new state.
Prime Minister: of course, of course.
(the first question is finally over.)
Host: let`s talk about another citizen, Kassel.. I know mine. I won`t come to you until I do my homework.
I wrote to you in February telling you that Nicholson, a former ICAC inspector, said the new state prosecutor`s office did not have enough evidence to accuse Kassel, but ICAC refused to accept the prosecutor`s advice and launched a personal attack on prosecutors` personnel.
Prime Minister, on ICAC`s website, Kassel is still listed as a corruption. What do you do with this?
Prime Minister: Of course, the ICAC is also trying to preside over justice and rehabilitate it. We will definitely treat this as a matter of urgency...
Host: it`s been a few months. I need to know the results. Now, I`m asking you, would you like to see Kassel?? He`s your citizen. What would you do if it happened to your parents?
(the problem is beginning to sharpen)
Prime Minister: I understand how people feel.
Host: it`s not enough just to understand. You should do something, right? (don`t try to fool the past)
Prime Minister: I understand that we are discussing this issue, I have already made a request.
Host: but it`s been a long time.
Prime Minister: I understand. (I really have poor words)
Host: OK. (let you go for a while, and the next question will not kill you.)
When you were opposition party, you talked about the failed Rozelle light rail project. You said the small merchants were greatly affected by the project, and the government, the Labour Party, ignored their interests. You said it was sad to hear that some merchants had lost their efforts for many years. You also said it was unacceptable that the Labor Party government had never held a fair hearing on it.
Now I ask you, if it was unacceptable at that time, why is this time acceptable again?
I asked you, would you like to come with me and meet the people who wrote to me? Their stories are terrible, Gladys. According to government, the project could have been completed two years ago, but now their shops have no access on foot. They won`t be happy anymore. Would you like to see them? Come with me.
Prime Minister: all right, Alan, I`ll see them again. We`ve seen them several times.
Host: Gladys, would you like to see them if I come to organize a meeting?
Prime Minister: I will, Alan. In fact, of the 75 businesses applying for compensation, 50 have already been approved.
Host: no, I`m telling you, this is not enough compensation. These letters are in front of me right now!
One man went bankrupt because of the construction of the light rail, but did not receive any subsidy. One man said he could install double-glazed glass free of charge, but government only gave out the glass money, not the window frame money, he also had to pay for the window frame, otherwise he couldn`t sleep at night.
Prime Minister: yes.
Host: are you coming with me to see them or not?
Prime Minister: Alan, of course I would, but.
Host: no, but! You say the Labour Party is cold and shameful, I also think this is very cold, but years have passed!
Prime Minister:. (I surrendered. You can say whatever you want.)
Host: can we talk about the bike more quickly? Time is up。 Why are bicycles everywhere? These bicycles affect the blind man`s walking. Can you order all these bicycles lying on the street to be confiscated?
Prime Minister: well, first of all, I would like to congratulate those places that use their power to confiscate bicycles, government; secondly.
Host: wait a minute, isn`t Macquarie Street near your office? Can you order all these bicycles lying on the street to be confiscated?
Prime Minister: we`re working on a co-ordinated solution. The local government doesn`t like us to meddle in their affairs.
Host: aren`t you in charge of the whole state? You`re the one who`s in charge! Let go!
All right, time`s up. I`ll contact you again to discuss how to solve these things.
After listening to this interview, I have a deep sympathy for the Prime Minister`s lady. How much a person should love this job in order to bear the humiliation to do it now!
I would also like to say to host Alan: you only dare to be arrogant in Australia. If you are in China, don`t mention your disrespectful tone and remarks, there is something you just have to turn your eyes around.
