So now, when I put
an appointment in my computer,

00:29.697 --> 00:31.764
it automatically goes
to your calendar.

00:31.766 --> 00:33.298
Oh, wow, that's great.

00:33.300 --> 00:35.334
-So, for example, click 'today'.
-Yep.

00:35.336 --> 00:38.637
You've got a meeting with Jeff
this afternoon at 2:30.

00:38.639 --> 00:40.939
-Oh. OK. And is this meeting...
-With Jeff.

00:40.941 --> 00:44.009
Yeah, but is this...am I meeting
him or is he meeting me?

00:44.011 --> 00:45.744
-Does it say?
-No.

00:45.746 --> 00:48.247
I'll have to check,
but it's at 2:30.

00:48.249 --> 00:50.215
-And where?
-I'll check that too.

00:50.217 --> 00:52.084
Yeah. And is it Jeff Kane
or Jeff Stirelli?

00:52.086 --> 00:53.819
-Checking!
-OK.

00:53.821 --> 00:55.454
-Morning, Tony.
-Morning, Amy.

00:55.456 --> 00:57.689
-Good article in the paper
this morning. -Oh, was there?

00:57.691 --> 00:59.091
Something about us being one of

00:59.093 --> 01:00.826
this government's
success stories.

01:00.828 --> 01:02.828
Oh, yeah, in the 'Fin'.
That was good, wasn't it?

01:02.830 --> 01:05.431
I don't place too much stock
in newspaper articles, though.

01:05.433 --> 01:07.633
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, but it makes up
for that other one.

01:07.635 --> 01:08.967
-What other one?
-Nothing.

01:08.969 --> 01:10.836
-Is this about the
Western Bypass? -I don't know.

01:10.838 --> 01:12.704
A project we practically had
nothing to do with

01:12.706 --> 01:14.640
and suddenly found our logo
splashed all over it?

01:14.642 --> 01:17.176
-I didn't want to ruin your day.
-You haven't ruined my...

01:17.178 --> 01:20.012
You know what?
The sun is shining.

01:20.014 --> 01:21.713
No-one was in my car spot
this morning.

01:21.715 --> 01:23.849
-Nothing's gonna ruin my day.
-OK.

01:23.851 --> 01:26.885
-OK. -It was just about how
our role seems to be unclear.

01:26.887 --> 01:29.388
-Got it, yeah.
-It was SO unfair!

01:29.390 --> 01:32.057
-Yep. -It just went on and on...
-Thanks, Amy. I got it.

01:32.059 --> 01:34.426
-Do you want a copy?
-No, thanks!

01:34.428 --> 01:37.830
-This is so unfair.
-Oh, a couple of backhanders.

01:37.832 --> 01:39.665
No, no, he went on and on.

01:39.667 --> 01:41.567
Scotty, our role is
a little unclear.

01:41.569 --> 01:43.702
No, not that bit -
the stuff he said afterwards.

01:43.704 --> 01:46.205
-What did he... -Morning, all.
-Have you seen this?

01:46.207 --> 01:48.173
(SCOFFS) Business papers.
Who reads those?

01:48.175 --> 01:50.042
-You want a copy of this?
-No, thanks, Scotty.

01:50.044 --> 01:52.277
Shall we make a start?

01:52.279 --> 01:55.280
-A start on what?
-The meeting.

01:57.016 --> 01:59.918
Katie! There's nothing here.

01:59.920 --> 02:01.520
I've got it here.

02:01.522 --> 02:04.857
-Oh. I didn't press 'done'.
-It's OK.

02:04.859 --> 02:06.592
-Sending it through now.
-OK.

02:06.594 --> 02:08.494
Sorry, Rhonda.
There's been some IT issues.

02:08.496 --> 02:10.262
-(PHONE TRILLS)
-Did you get it? -Got it.

02:10.264 --> 02:13.332
Yep. Meeting with Rhonda. Yeah.
What's this about?

02:13.334 --> 02:15.367
The new highway. Very exciting.

02:15.369 --> 02:18.470
-The...M1?
-Thought it was the A1.

02:18.472 --> 02:21.440
Bits of it are the A1,
but it's mostly M...

02:21.442 --> 02:24.510
No, it's the one
that goes around, the whole...

02:24.512 --> 02:26.445
-Around the country?
-The one you've just built.

02:26.447 --> 02:29.214
We haven't built anything. We're
overseeing some final stages...

02:29.216 --> 02:30.782
We're the umbrella organisation.

02:30.784 --> 02:33.619
Our logo's all over the bit
up the side on the...

02:33.621 --> 02:35.587
-You mean the Pacific Highway?
-Doesn't matter. -Sure.

02:35.589 --> 02:39.591
What I'm hearing is there could
be some sort of delay.

02:39.593 --> 02:42.794
-There's always delays. -But
this could jeopardise my launch.

02:42.796 --> 02:46.298
-Why are we launching a road?
-It's not just a road.

02:46.300 --> 02:49.368
This is a link -
it's the final link in the...

02:49.370 --> 02:51.436
..in the loop
that brings it around.

02:51.438 --> 02:54.673
-This link's the whole...
-Are you talking about AusLink?

02:54.675 --> 02:56.742
Or the national
Roads...Roads to Recovery...

02:56.744 --> 02:58.877
-I might be. It's not the point.
-No.

02:58.879 --> 03:01.780
The point is, I've got state and
federal ministers pencilled in,

03:01.782 --> 03:03.348
a national anthem to organise...

03:03.350 --> 03:05.217
Rhonda,
it's not the grand final.

03:05.219 --> 03:07.519
I want to know
why there's a delay.

03:07.521 --> 03:10.489
Alright. Katie, can you
just grab Nat for a second?

03:10.491 --> 03:12.324
I'll send an e-alert
to her calendar.

03:12.326 --> 03:14.059
No, no, just stand up
and call her.

03:14.061 --> 03:16.261
After the e-alert?

03:16.263 --> 03:17.829
Nat!

03:17.831 --> 03:20.332
This is bullshit.

03:22.969 --> 03:25.270
Turns out
there may well be a delay.

03:25.272 --> 03:27.039
Is this structural?
Is this about the formwork?

03:27.041 --> 03:30.242
-With the resurfacing?
-No, it's to do with the art.

03:30.244 --> 03:33.011
Art? Are we still talking
about the highway?

03:33.013 --> 03:34.680
Well, the final stretch of it.

03:34.682 --> 03:36.715
Apparently, the plan was to
mark the project's completion

03:36.717 --> 03:40.485
with a series of
iconic roadside installations.

03:40.487 --> 03:42.487
Here's a thought -
how about we mark

03:42.489 --> 03:44.856
the completion of the project
by just completing the project?

03:44.858 --> 03:47.025
They've done it before.
Apparently, it was successful.

03:47.027 --> 03:49.661
-Who did? -ConnectEast. They
built a motorway in Melbourne.

03:49.663 --> 03:52.331
I think ConnectEast
almost went broke doing that.

03:52.333 --> 03:54.333
Oh, but I think the art
was very successful.

03:54.335 --> 03:56.735
-What sort of art is it?
-They're like giant statues.

03:56.737 --> 03:59.471
-Oh, and there's a big mural.
-That's nothing to do with us.

03:59.473 --> 04:01.240
No, it was
a federal arts initiative.

04:01.242 --> 04:02.874
The federal arts minister
cleared it

04:02.876 --> 04:04.509
with the state roads minister,

04:04.511 --> 04:06.511
but they both forgot to tell
the federal transport minister.

04:06.513 --> 04:09.047
-Oh, you're kidding me.
-We're helping to sort it out.

04:09.049 --> 04:10.716
-What exactly is the problem?
-HUGH: Problems.

04:10.718 --> 04:12.618
Several of the artworks
are causing issues.

04:12.620 --> 04:15.153
-How many are there?
-Artworks or problems?

04:15.155 --> 04:17.422
-TONY: Both. -15 artworks
have been commissioned.

04:17.424 --> 04:20.392
-And there's six problems.
-So six artworks have problems?

04:20.394 --> 04:22.327
Oh, five. One of them
has two problems.

04:22.329 --> 04:24.129
Rhonda's planning a mega launch
for this thing.

04:24.131 --> 04:25.864
Oh, I know.
I got sent a draft schedule.

04:25.866 --> 04:27.699
Do we know who's singing
the national anthem?

04:27.701 --> 04:30.602
Look into it. Find out what the
problems are. I want it sorted.

04:30.604 --> 04:33.805
OK. Oh, hey, do you have
a physio appointment at 6:30?

04:33.807 --> 04:37.676
-Yeah. Why? -Oh, I just got it
sent to my calendar.

04:37.678 --> 04:40.379
And now I don't know how to
switch it off when it rings.

04:40.381 --> 04:42.281
Don't you just swipe it?
Or tap it?

04:42.283 --> 04:44.583
No, I did that, and I keep
getting the weather app.

04:44.585 --> 04:47.252
-JIM: Morning. -Hey, Jim.
-Katie. -Jim.

04:47.254 --> 04:49.454
Got a briefing
on this road launch.

04:49.456 --> 04:54.092
-Oh, yeah. -Big whispers
the PM has agreed to...uh-uh.

04:54.094 --> 04:55.794
Oh, that's big news.

04:55.796 --> 04:57.796
Do you know exactly
what the achievement is

04:57.798 --> 04:59.431
that we're celebrating?

04:59.433 --> 05:02.301
That we've finally got a road
that...round Australia.

05:02.303 --> 05:03.969
But we've had that
for 40 years.

05:03.971 --> 05:05.637
That it's divided?

05:05.639 --> 05:07.606
Yeah, but bits of it
aren't divided.

05:07.608 --> 05:10.275
Is it that we've got
the ripple strips down the side?

05:10.277 --> 05:12.377
-Do they now go all the way?
-Don't know that...

05:12.379 --> 05:14.112
Anyway, it's a big day
for Australia

05:14.114 --> 05:15.580
thanks to you and the team.

05:15.582 --> 05:17.516
We've had very little
to do with this project.

05:17.518 --> 05:20.452
Oh, come on.
Our logo's all over it.

05:20.454 --> 05:22.454
Let's celebrate
a successful outcome.

05:22.456 --> 05:24.289
Just on that,
we've heard a whisper

05:24.291 --> 05:25.991
there might be
a minor delay.

05:25.993 --> 05:27.526
-Unions? -No.
-Council? -No.

05:27.528 --> 05:29.695
-Environment.
-No, art. -Oh!

05:29.697 --> 05:33.832
In order to commemorate this
final stretch of...whatever,

05:33.834 --> 05:37.469
um, apparently there's a whole
bunch of roadside art going in.

05:37.471 --> 05:39.671
-When did you agree to this?
-We didn't agree to anything.

05:39.673 --> 05:41.440
-Is it under control?
-We're looking into it.

05:41.442 --> 05:45.043
Alright. Good man. Oh, that's
another reason I came down.

05:45.045 --> 05:47.713
-Um...Mumbai.
-What about it?

05:47.715 --> 05:49.614
-Turns out it's our sister city.
-And?

05:49.616 --> 05:51.183
They want to send
a delegation down,

05:51.185 --> 05:52.751
get a glimpse
of what we're doing.

05:52.753 --> 05:54.953
What for?

05:54.955 --> 05:57.489
They're thinking of setting up
a Nation Building Authority
of their own.

05:57.491 --> 05:59.958
-And they want to learn from us?
-Hey, don't act so surprised.

05:59.960 --> 06:02.294
We're getting a lot of attention
around the world.

06:02.296 --> 06:05.230
Anyway, you couldn't take 'em
for a couple of hours?

06:05.232 --> 06:07.032
-Oh, Jim...
-It's just a goodwill visit.

06:07.034 --> 06:10.268
It's lunch, show 'em round the
office, then off to the casino.

06:10.270 --> 06:12.804
We're kind of snowed under.
Katie? Diary.

06:12.806 --> 06:16.108
I already said you would.

06:16.110 --> 06:19.711
There's an Indian delegation.
Uh, when are they coming?

06:19.713 --> 06:22.280
Oh, Thursday. Midday.

06:22.282 --> 06:24.483
I'll pop it into your calendar.

06:24.485 --> 06:26.852
It's only three days away,
so I'll make it an alert.

06:26.854 --> 06:28.320
-OK.
-(PHONE CHIMES)

06:28.322 --> 06:30.322
-Oh. Do you have a
physio appointment? -Yes, I do.

06:30.324 --> 06:32.724
-Nat just told me.
-Hmm.

06:32.726 --> 06:35.026
It's still not on this.

06:37.597 --> 06:41.199
-What's that called?
-NAT: 'Road to Nowhere'.

06:41.201 --> 06:43.935
-Well, that's just dangerous.
-Yeah, it's been cancelled.

06:43.937 --> 06:46.571
-Oh. So the rabbit's OK?
-Yep.

06:46.573 --> 06:48.607
-And the bally thing?
-Is fine. -OK.

06:48.609 --> 06:51.042
NAT: This is the first
installation that's a problem.

06:51.044 --> 06:52.544
TONY: So it's a fake truck stop?

06:52.546 --> 06:54.312
"A brilliant example
of spatial distortionism."

06:54.314 --> 06:55.881
Just giving something
a wanky description

06:55.883 --> 06:57.549
doesn't make it
more important.

06:57.551 --> 06:59.451
It's a three-quarter scale model
of the truck stop.

06:59.453 --> 07:02.754
-And why? -"To challenge
our notions of consumerism..."

07:02.756 --> 07:05.524
Last warning.
OK. So, what's the problem?

07:05.526 --> 07:07.659
Oh, its position - turns out
there's a real truck stop,

07:07.661 --> 07:09.795
fast-food outlet,
about 5 k's down the road.

07:09.797 --> 07:11.596
-TONY: So?
-The owners are worried.

07:11.598 --> 07:14.266
People might think their truck
stop is also fake and not go in.

07:14.268 --> 07:16.201
-They could lose business.
-Oh, please.

07:16.203 --> 07:18.370
-Just checking.
Did your alarm go off? -No.

07:18.372 --> 07:20.505
It should have.
I put a calendar entry in.

07:20.507 --> 07:23.975
-What does "T@HPS" mean? -"Talk
at Hillside Primary School".

07:23.977 --> 07:26.411
The whole thing wouldn't fit,
so I had to use initials.

07:26.413 --> 07:28.914
It used to fit in my old di...
Sorry, is this now?

07:28.916 --> 07:30.916
-No. -Oh.
-It's in an hour. -What?

07:30.918 --> 07:32.584
Would you prefer
a 2-hour warning?

07:32.586 --> 07:35.587
I'm right in the middle...
Hey, could we get out of this?

07:35.589 --> 07:38.557
Can you just call and say
there's been an office crisis?

07:38.559 --> 07:40.392
-That's what we said last time.
-Did we?

07:40.394 --> 07:42.394
-But this time, it's true.
-It was true last time.

07:42.396 --> 07:44.296
-NAT: We can handle this.
-TONY: Really?

07:44.298 --> 07:46.298
Look, just go through
each of the sculptures...

07:46.300 --> 07:49.134
Installations. It's about
its context in its environment.

07:50.269 --> 07:52.003
Go through
each of the sculptures,

07:52.005 --> 07:55.006
find out what the problem is
and what's needed to fix it.

07:56.776 --> 07:59.110
Fill up the front, thanks, guys.
These ones too.

07:59.112 --> 08:01.046
Quick, quick, quick.
He'll be here soon.

08:01.048 --> 08:02.781

08:02.783 --> 08:04.282
So...

08:04.284 --> 08:05.984

you coming in.

08:05.986 --> 08:07.853
-Oh, more than happy to help.
-(PHONE CHIMES)

08:07.855 --> 08:11.089

that I need to be here.

-I'll just, uh...
-(PHONE CONTINUES CHIMING)

08:13.093 --> 08:15.727
-Just can't seem to...
-Would you like me to...

08:15.729 --> 08:18.363
No, no, I just...
not sure how to get the...

08:18.365 --> 08:20.065
-GIRL: It's in 'settings'.
-Sorry?

08:20.067 --> 08:22.767
It's in 'settings',
in 'notifications'.

08:22.769 --> 08:24.603
-You've got to hit 'cancel'.
-(PHONE CONTINUES CHIMING)

08:24.605 --> 08:27.005
-Would you mind doing it for me?
-Sure.

08:27.007 --> 08:29.407
Thanks.

08:29.409 --> 08:33.044
So I can give you a 1-hour
warning or a 2-hour warning.

08:33.046 --> 08:35.080
-But that's all synced up?
-Yeah, yeah.

08:35.082 --> 08:37.716
Sorry. Do either of you
know much about Indians?

08:37.718 --> 08:40.685
-As in Pocahontas Indians?
-Or Sachin Tendulkar Indians?

08:40.687 --> 08:42.354
I don't know
who either of them are.

08:42.356 --> 08:44.155
-What sort of Indians?
-From Mumbai.

08:44.157 --> 08:46.458
-Tendulkar Indians. -We've got
a delegation coming this week.

08:46.460 --> 08:48.293
-Oh, beauty.
-We've got to provide lunch.

08:48.295 --> 08:50.762
-Is there anything
Indians don't eat? -I know this.

08:50.764 --> 08:52.998
If they're Hindu,
they won't eat beef,

08:53.000 --> 08:55.033
and if they're
from southern India,

08:55.035 --> 08:58.270
they're often vegetarian,
possibly vegan.

08:58.272 --> 09:01.640
-I might just do sandwiches.
-Ooh.

09:01.642 --> 09:04.976
Why am I seeing Monica from
the Australian Arts Council?

09:04.978 --> 09:07.712
That's for Nat. How did you...

09:07.714 --> 09:11.383
Oh. I know what I've done.

09:11.385 --> 09:13.218
-Did you get in OK?
-Yeah, thanks.

09:13.220 --> 09:15.687
Take a seat over there.
Can I get you a coffee?

09:20.760 --> 09:23.228
Thanks for coming in. Um...

09:23.230 --> 09:26.264
We probably should make a start.

09:26.266 --> 09:28.233
Amy.

09:28.235 --> 09:31.202
-Did you want to say something?
-No.

09:32.104 --> 09:33.438
NAT: Right.

09:34.273 --> 09:37.175
Hugh? Will you be joining us?

09:37.177 --> 09:40.512
-No.
-Meeting with Monica at 2:30.

09:40.514 --> 09:42.547
-No...
-Oh, it was for Hugh.

09:42.549 --> 09:45.417
-Hugh, I think this alert
was for you. -HUGH: Oh, OK.

09:45.419 --> 09:48.320
So, Monica, I understand
you chose the 15 works?

09:48.322 --> 09:50.455
As part of a panel.
It wasn't easy.

09:50.457 --> 09:54.726
Are you aware there have been
some issues with the selection?

09:54.728 --> 09:57.062
I'm not surprised.
That's what great art does.

09:57.064 --> 09:59.598
-It divides. -Or challenges?
-Or challenges.

09:59.600 --> 10:02.033
We fear there's going to be
some criticism.

10:02.035 --> 10:05.971
Isn't that the point of what
we're doing, to ignite debate?

10:05.973 --> 10:07.806
No, I think the point is
to get trucks

10:07.808 --> 10:09.841
from Sydney to Brisbane
as efficiently as possible.

10:09.843 --> 10:13.278
Give me an example of a work
that's creating problems.

10:13.280 --> 10:15.313
I can give you six,
starting with...

10:15.315 --> 10:17.549
Perfect. ..this one, 'Gun'.

10:17.551 --> 10:20.051
Everyone who's seen it
has deemed it offensive.

10:20.053 --> 10:22.687
-I can't see why.
-Neither can I.

10:22.689 --> 10:27.459
-Hugh, it's upside down.
-Oh. That's not a gun.

10:27.461 --> 10:29.794
Well, he is a very busy man,

10:29.796 --> 10:32.530
but he's agreed to share
some of his time with us today.

10:32.532 --> 10:34.466
-From Nation Building
Australia... -Authority.

10:34.468 --> 10:37.068
-Mr Woodford.
-Thank you, Miss Pinetti.

10:37.070 --> 10:40.605
Thank you. Lovely to be here.
What a wonderful welcome.

10:40.607 --> 10:43.875
Now, what do I do? Well, my job
is to help build things.

10:43.877 --> 10:48.146
Big things like roads or dams
or ports or railways,

10:48.148 --> 10:49.881
things we might need
for the future.

10:49.883 --> 10:52.283
Can anyone think of something
else we might need to build?

10:52.285 --> 10:55.553
-Yes? -A rocket? -A rock...
Yeah, probably not us.

10:55.555 --> 10:58.056
But let's put it up there,
because, um, yeah.

10:58.058 --> 11:00.492
We might need that
in the future. A rocket.

11:00.494 --> 11:02.160
OK. Anybody else?

11:02.162 --> 11:04.195
-Houses?
-Houses. Oh.

11:04.197 --> 11:07.332
We call them urban renewal
projects, and they're...

11:07.334 --> 11:09.167
Can anyone think
of something else

11:09.169 --> 11:11.002
that might be vital
for this country?

11:11.004 --> 11:13.238
-The National Broadband Network.
-Yeah, a little complic...

11:13.240 --> 11:16.408
Yeah, no, as you've said it,
let's put it up there - NBN.

11:16.410 --> 11:20.478
Yep. Anything else
that we might, uh... Yep? Yep?

11:20.480 --> 11:22.414
A really, really long bridge.

11:22.416 --> 11:24.816
TONY: Oof! Got some blue-sky
thinking here in this class.

11:24.818 --> 11:28.153
And where might the really,
really long bridge go to?

11:28.155 --> 11:31.156
-The moon. -Yeah, might be
a little far for...

11:31.158 --> 11:33.558
-GIRL: What about Tasmania?
-Tas... Still far.

11:33.560 --> 11:36.294
But anyway, let's put up
"bridge to Tassie".

11:36.296 --> 11:37.962
A really, really long bridge.

11:37.964 --> 11:40.565
It'll have to be a long bridge
to get there.

11:40.567 --> 11:42.867
But... OK. Well, there it is.
Anyone else?

11:42.869 --> 11:45.203
-A spaceship.
-Yep, you caught his bug. Yep.

11:45.205 --> 11:47.172
No - well, how about
we put up satellites,

11:47.174 --> 11:49.808
because they're very similar
to spaceships,

11:49.810 --> 11:52.143
but slightly more useful.

11:52.145 --> 11:55.613
-Right. Yep? -Your physio
appointment is at 2:30.

11:55.615 --> 11:57.716
Some of these works
simply won't get the go-ahead.

11:57.718 --> 11:59.584
But they've already got
the go-ahead.

11:59.586 --> 12:01.319
Not from you,
from the real world.

12:02.521 --> 12:04.656
I'm sorry. Um...

12:04.658 --> 12:07.092
Do you think any of
the artists would be willing

12:07.094 --> 12:08.960
to modify their works?

12:08.962 --> 12:11.696
To modify their works.

12:11.698 --> 12:13.264
That's the question.

12:13.266 --> 12:15.467
Would the artists be willing
to modify their works?

12:15.469 --> 12:17.702
Same question.
Needs an answer.

12:17.704 --> 12:20.505
I'd be reluctant to ask.

12:20.507 --> 12:23.408
Would it be alright
if we spoke to the artists?

12:23.410 --> 12:26.544
Would it be alright if you
spoke to the artists?

12:26.546 --> 12:28.880
-No need to repeat the question.
-I guess you could try.

12:28.882 --> 12:31.750
But I'm not sure
what you can do that I can't.

12:31.752 --> 12:33.651
Well, she can threaten them.

12:33.653 --> 12:36.921
What a class, Miss Pinetti.
There's so many wonderful ideas.

12:36.923 --> 12:39.257
Giant water slide -
let's build that now.

12:39.259 --> 12:41.493
Now, what we need to do
is prioritise,

12:41.495 --> 12:43.495
'cause we can't
build them all.

12:43.497 --> 12:46.564
So we have to decide what's
the most important project.

12:46.566 --> 12:48.533
Anyone? Can't be the rocket.

12:48.535 --> 12:50.702
-A space station.
-Yep. OK.

12:50.704 --> 12:52.871
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna put it up.

12:52.873 --> 12:55.406
And I'm gonna put it under
"space program",

12:55.408 --> 12:57.842
'cause that'll include
everything, satellite and...

12:57.844 --> 12:59.644
Now, number two.

12:59.646 --> 13:01.312
You know,
we have to drive, don't we,

13:01.314 --> 13:03.014
in order to get places.

13:03.016 --> 13:05.917
What might we build
in order to do that?

13:05.919 --> 13:08.586
-The really, really long bridge.
-I was thinking roads, 'cause...

13:08.588 --> 13:10.288
Yep, no,
let's put it up there.

13:10.290 --> 13:11.923
The bridge to Tassie.
Number two.

13:11.925 --> 13:15.093
Now, let's keep going with
this priority list,

13:15.095 --> 13:17.362
because...when this is over,

13:17.364 --> 13:20.031
I'm gonna have my office
type all this up, print it out,

13:20.033 --> 13:22.967
and we're gonna have the
official Hillside Primary School

13:22.969 --> 13:24.769
Nation Building Australia list.

13:24.771 --> 13:26.538
-(PHONE CHIMES)
-Yes?

13:26.540 --> 13:29.107
Don't forget your meeting
with Rhonda tomorrow at 2:00.

13:38.150 --> 13:40.118
-Quite a lot of artists
use this space. -Sure.

13:40.120 --> 13:43.922
Yeah. It's shared.
Obviously, this is...

13:43.924 --> 13:46.758
-There it is.
-NAT: There it is.

13:46.760 --> 13:49.661
I've seen pictures,
but, you know, yeah, not...

13:53.165 --> 13:55.767
And the finished product
will be even longer.

13:55.769 --> 13:58.069
Permanently,
or just at different times?

13:58.071 --> 14:00.905
Well, I could show you a more
detailed mock-up if you want.

14:00.907 --> 14:02.907
No, no, this is plenty.

14:02.909 --> 14:04.742
Let's be honest -

14:04.744 --> 14:07.412
when people drive down the road,
what will they see?

14:07.414 --> 14:10.114
For me, art's not so much about
what you see

14:10.116 --> 14:12.150
as what you don't see.

14:12.152 --> 14:14.452
-They'll see a penis.
-Sure.

14:14.454 --> 14:17.088
-But others will see
the folly... -Steve.

14:17.090 --> 14:18.723
-It's Stefanos.
-It's a penis.

14:18.725 --> 14:20.558
Art's gotta be confronting.

14:20.560 --> 14:23.361
It's also gotta be something
we can stick next to a motorway.

14:23.363 --> 14:25.196
As it now stands,
your section of the road

14:25.198 --> 14:27.198
will be closed to
anyone under the age of 18.

14:27.200 --> 14:29.200
-Could be a sealed section.
-I'll cut to the chase.

14:29.202 --> 14:31.402
NAT: Unless you can modify this
in some way...

14:31.404 --> 14:35.740
-What do you suggest?
-Could you add a giant fig leaf?

14:37.076 --> 14:38.676
-Morning.
-AMY: Morning.

14:38.678 --> 14:40.545
Just syncing the appointments
for the day.

14:40.547 --> 14:42.513
Can I just check something,
about the Indian delegation?

14:42.515 --> 14:44.515
-Oh, when are they coming?
-Tomorrow.

14:44.517 --> 14:46.918
They would love to know
a couple of our projects

14:46.920 --> 14:50.121
they could research before they
arrive, just to get up to speed.

14:50.123 --> 14:52.257
Where are we
on the East-West Tunnel?

14:52.259 --> 14:53.958
-Planning stage.
-Oh, have we got plans?

14:53.960 --> 14:56.861
-Pre-planning stage.
-What about the deep-water port?

14:56.863 --> 14:58.529
Have we started dredging?

14:58.531 --> 15:00.465
Waiting on the
environmental impact statement.

15:00.467 --> 15:03.368
How about Liveable Cities?
They could visit the site.

15:03.370 --> 15:06.237
-But we haven't built anything.
-We've built a viewing platform.

15:06.239 --> 15:08.940
-What would they see?
-Potential?

15:08.942 --> 15:12.043
NAT: This one's fine - I thought
we might have an obesity issue,

15:12.045 --> 15:14.879
but...they're fine
with that one.

15:14.881 --> 15:16.581
That's a problem.

15:18.717 --> 15:21.552
Oh, what about this one?
A giant cockatoo eating grain.

15:21.554 --> 15:24.055
-I think that's one of
the OK ones. -No objections?

15:24.057 --> 15:26.491
Unless the National Farmers'
Federation decide to complain.

15:26.493 --> 15:29.694
And this one...looks like
a giant mobile phone tower.

15:29.696 --> 15:32.297
Oh...I think that is a
giant mobile phone tower.

15:32.299 --> 15:34.198
-So not art?
-Could be both.

15:34.200 --> 15:37.602
-I'll have to check. -Let's put
it in a separate pile for now.

15:37.604 --> 15:39.504
Right. I thought you were gonna
sort this out.

15:39.506 --> 15:41.873
Rhonda, we're gonna get the
road open. We just have to...

15:41.875 --> 15:44.208
Forget your road.
I'm talking about my launch.

15:44.210 --> 15:46.711
-What's the hold-up? -It's still
three or four months away.

15:46.713 --> 15:49.280
Any idea how far in advance
you have to book Jessica Mauboy?

15:49.282 --> 15:51.649
-We're having some issues
with the artwork. -What?

15:51.651 --> 15:53.952
-Installations. -Roadside art.
-What's the difference?

15:53.954 --> 15:55.353
Installations
are site-specific,

15:55.355 --> 15:57.155
designed to transform
our perception of space.

15:57.157 --> 15:59.691
-I've got no idea what you're
talking about. -Neither does he.

15:59.693 --> 16:01.459
-Rhonda, look, it's...
it's complicated. -It's simple.

16:01.461 --> 16:03.027
We have finally delivered
a project

16:03.029 --> 16:04.696
on time and under budget.

16:04.698 --> 16:08.433
And now you are telling me
I can't get that good news out.

16:08.435 --> 16:11.302
-We're onto it.
-You better be.

16:12.905 --> 16:14.639
-MAN: Come on in.
-NAT: Wow.

16:14.641 --> 16:19.444
Check this out. I'll put
this bad boy up for you.

16:19.446 --> 16:21.112
There we go.

16:21.114 --> 16:23.748
Yep. I'm pretty happy with it
thus far.

16:23.750 --> 16:26.851
Right. Can I just say right off
the bat, we want a mural.

16:26.853 --> 16:30.488
I mean, everyone wants a mural.
We just have one issue.

16:30.490 --> 16:32.490
-Which is?
-Your mural.

16:32.492 --> 16:34.492
Do you mind if I ask you
something about it?

16:34.494 --> 16:36.828
Oh, look, I prefer the work
speak for itself.

16:36.830 --> 16:38.963
Yeah, it's...bit of
a one-sided conversation.

16:38.965 --> 16:42.967
-You see... -'Manhattan'.
-'Manhattan'.

16:42.969 --> 16:44.635
You've got two cars having

16:44.637 --> 16:46.671
what appears to be
a head-on crash here.

16:46.673 --> 16:50.308
-Multiple pile-ups here.
-Corpse in the cemetery.

16:50.310 --> 16:54.212
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...let's say 10
roadside fatalities.

16:54.214 --> 16:56.848
-Plus roadkill. -Graffiti
reading "Progress kills."

16:56.850 --> 16:59.884
Now, I'm no art expert, but I am
detecting a bit of a theme.

16:59.886 --> 17:02.020
Well, it's a polemic work.
I make no apologies.

17:02.022 --> 17:05.023
A lot of people won't be happy
with this mural on the freeway.

17:05.025 --> 17:07.325
Bottom line? 'Manhattan'.

17:07.327 --> 17:10.595
Either you make some changes -
big changes -

17:10.597 --> 17:14.699
or that stays
as a concrete wall.

17:14.701 --> 17:18.603
-Is someone under the
monster truck? -Yes, small boy.

17:18.605 --> 17:20.438
TONY: Scotty?

17:20.440 --> 17:22.273
Sorry, Katie didn't
put in a time.

17:22.275 --> 17:23.841
When does the Indian delegation
arrive, again?

17:23.843 --> 17:25.043
Tomorrow, midday.

17:25.045 --> 17:26.577
And did you find
a couple of

17:26.579 --> 17:28.279
nation-building projects
that they could research?

17:28.281 --> 17:31.382
Yep. The Snowy Mountains Scheme
and the Opera House.

17:31.384 --> 17:33.284
We had nothing to do
with them.

17:33.286 --> 17:35.286
-Oh, it had to be something
WE actually built. -Yes.

17:35.288 --> 17:38.423
-Well, gee, that's tough.
-JIM: Interesting!

17:38.425 --> 17:41.092
-Very interesting.
-What?

17:41.094 --> 17:42.560
It's what we like about you -

17:42.562 --> 17:44.429
your ability to think
outside the square.

17:44.431 --> 17:46.731
I have no idea
what you're talking about.

17:48.500 --> 17:51.235
H-how did you get hold
of that list?

17:51.237 --> 17:53.871
It's a sheet you circulated -
priority list.

17:53.873 --> 17:55.907
You know what's really
struck a chord with everyone?

17:55.909 --> 17:59.177
-Jim, there's been a mis...
-Satellite space programs.

17:59.179 --> 18:00.878
-We'd love to hear more.
-There is no more.

18:00.880 --> 18:03.514
Don't play games. I'm excited.
The PM's excited!

18:03.516 --> 18:06.284
-Jim... -Couple of pages,
broad outline.

18:06.286 --> 18:09.053
Let us know where you're headed
with this thing. Very exciting.

18:09.055 --> 18:11.089
-Jim!
-I know.

18:13.125 --> 18:15.059
-(SIGHS)
-Space program?

18:15.061 --> 18:16.694
-Scotty...
-I know.

18:16.696 --> 18:18.463
TONY: But... Katie!

18:22.434 --> 18:25.436
How did a copy of this list
get into Jim's hands?

18:25.438 --> 18:27.305
I'm trying to be efficient.

18:27.307 --> 18:29.474
-I'm syncing all
office communications. -What?!

18:29.476 --> 18:31.943
It said priority list. I thought
you wanted them circulated.

18:31.945 --> 18:35.213
It also had Hillside Primary
School written across the top.

18:35.215 --> 18:37.415
Don't worry.
I cc'd them as well.

18:37.417 --> 18:41.252
You didn't find any of these
ideas just a little far-fetched?

18:41.254 --> 18:44.622
-No. -A national
birthday party centre?

18:44.624 --> 18:47.258
-Sounds like fun.
-A bridge to Tasmania?

18:47.260 --> 18:50.428
-I like that one too.
-A giant water slide?

18:50.430 --> 18:52.196
Don't they have those
in Queensland?

18:52.198 --> 18:55.733
-They're not built
by the government! -Oh.

18:57.503 --> 18:59.871
TONY: What is it?

18:59.873 --> 19:02.573
70-metre
cantilevered steel beams

19:02.575 --> 19:05.409
form an abstract interpretation
of a city gate.

19:05.411 --> 19:08.179
-It's called 'Reflections'.
-And what's the problem?

19:08.181 --> 19:10.014
-It reflects.
-At night.

19:10.016 --> 19:11.449
Car headlights
make it look like

19:11.451 --> 19:13.050
you're heading
into oncoming traffic.

19:13.052 --> 19:14.952
What was he thinking?

19:14.954 --> 19:17.588
To "confront and challenge our
perspectives of time and place".

19:17.590 --> 19:19.524
We're talking to the artist.
I'm hopeful.

19:19.526 --> 19:23.661
-OK, next? -'Roadside Idyll',
by Stanislav Nurovkik.

19:23.663 --> 19:25.696
HUGH: "A playful rendering of
our desire for indulgence..."

19:25.698 --> 19:28.266
-What's the problem? -Raised
eyebrows at Women's Affairs.

19:28.268 --> 19:30.134
What's the issue?

19:30.136 --> 19:31.836
They feel it could be
reinforcing negative stereotypes

19:31.838 --> 19:33.604
regarding ideal form.

19:33.606 --> 19:35.806
-They're too fat. -Have statues
got to have a BMI now?

19:35.808 --> 19:37.642
They're eating.
Of course they're fat.

19:37.644 --> 19:39.477
They've probably been
to that truck stop.

19:39.479 --> 19:42.346
I think we can solve this one.
However...

19:42.348 --> 19:45.616
-TONY: It's a sound wall.
-NAT: It was supposed to be.

19:45.618 --> 19:48.152
But they commissioned an artist
to redesign it.

19:48.154 --> 19:50.855
-And? -He wanted to
play with the form.

19:50.857 --> 19:53.424
-Hence the discs and patterns.
-I don't see anything wrong.

19:53.426 --> 19:55.760
-That's not gonna offend anyone.
-That's not the problem.

19:55.762 --> 19:57.862
-Then what is?
-It doesn't reduce sound.

19:57.864 --> 20:00.131
-Apparently, it amplifies it.
-(INHALES DEEPLY)

20:00.133 --> 20:01.999
Did they have
this sort of problem

when they put the dog on the
tuckerbox 5 miles from Gundagai?

20:04.470 --> 20:07.171
The Indians are coming!
The Indians are coming!

I'll do a copy, and you can
read it later. Welcome anyway.

20:29.062 --> 20:31.329
-And thank you.
-Welcome. -Thank you.

20:31.331 --> 20:33.164
Now, I'm gonna
join you for lunch.

20:33.166 --> 20:34.832
Till then,
my senior assistant Scott's

20:34.834 --> 20:36.634
gonna show you around
the Nation Building offices.

20:36.636 --> 20:38.469
We would like that
very much.

20:38.471 --> 20:40.371
Shall we start with
the project planning department?

20:40.373 --> 20:42.373
We want to know everything
about your office.

20:42.375 --> 20:43.908
These are glass, double-hinged,
two-way action.

20:43.910 --> 20:45.576
I think they've got doors
in India, Scotty.

20:45.578 --> 20:47.245
He just said he wanted
to know everything...

20:47.247 --> 20:48.646
Maybe skip
the office fittings.

20:48.648 --> 20:50.214
Why don't you just
pull on that

20:50.216 --> 20:51.682

20:52.718 --> 20:55.319
SCOTT: Thank you.

20:55.321 --> 20:57.622
-JIM: You wanted a word?
-Oh, yeah. Jim, yeah, yeah.

20:57.624 --> 21:00.224
-Come in, yeah. About before.
-Oh, yeah, yeah.

21:00.226 --> 21:02.059
I've spoken to a few people.

21:02.061 --> 21:04.462
Just between you and me,
they're talking Cairns.

21:04.464 --> 21:06.831
We're gonna upgrade the M1
all the way to North Queensland?

21:06.833 --> 21:08.532
No, for the launch facility.

21:08.534 --> 21:11.035
If we build this space program,
we'll need a launch facility.

21:11.037 --> 21:14.305
-There is no space program.
-I know. You want it hush-hush.

21:14.307 --> 21:15.773
No, I'm saying
there's no need

21:15.775 --> 21:17.408
to start launching
our own satellites.

21:17.410 --> 21:19.677
-The PM loves it. -We've got
so many more pressing...

21:19.679 --> 21:21.812
-Hang on. He hasn't
said anything publicly? -No, no.

21:21.814 --> 21:23.948
Although he is gonna
run it past Cabinet.

21:23.950 --> 21:26.083
-When?
-Oh, not until...

21:26.085 --> 21:28.252
Actually, that'd be today.

21:28.254 --> 21:30.321
This is just like putting art
on a highway.

21:30.323 --> 21:32.923
It sounds good, and then
it bites us in the arse.

21:32.925 --> 21:35.760
-How's that going, by the way?
-Nat's working through it.

21:35.762 --> 21:38.296
Good - it'd be nice to have
the launch out of the way

21:38.298 --> 21:41.232
before we announce
the space program.

21:41.234 --> 21:43.234
So this is another one
of our projects,

21:43.236 --> 21:46.237
the Port Pirie common use
bulk export facility.

21:46.239 --> 21:48.673
We're overseeing
a complete upgrade of the port.

21:48.675 --> 21:50.808
-How long did this take?
-About 18 months.

21:50.810 --> 21:53.477
18 months to complete
the entire project?

21:53.479 --> 21:55.313
No, to complete
the planning proposal.

21:55.315 --> 21:57.114
We're still awaiting approval.

21:57.116 --> 22:00.551
-Then how long?
-About 12 months.

22:00.553 --> 22:04.288
-To complete it?
-To complete the tender process.

22:04.290 --> 22:05.956
That seems like
a lengthy period.

22:05.958 --> 22:09.427
No, it's pretty fast.
How do you do it back home?

22:09.429 --> 22:11.529
-We start building.
-That's really fast.

22:11.531 --> 22:13.297
We should probably
come and visit you.

22:13.299 --> 22:15.299
Can you show us something
that has been completed?

22:15.301 --> 22:17.835
Yep.

22:17.837 --> 22:20.237
Nuh. (CLICKS MOUSE) Nuh.

22:20.239 --> 22:22.340
(CLICKS MOUSE) Nuh.
Not ours, no.

22:22.342 --> 22:24.875
-Jim, would you just promise me
one thing? -Shoot!

22:24.877 --> 22:26.644
That nothing is said publicly

22:26.646 --> 22:28.746
about a satellite
or a space program.

22:28.748 --> 22:31.415
-I don't know why
you're being so coy. -Jim...

22:31.417 --> 22:33.417
Would it change your thinking
if I told you

22:33.419 --> 22:37.188
that we had a letter from 50
prominent Australian scientists

22:37.190 --> 22:38.856
supporting the idea?

22:38.858 --> 22:40.991
-When did this happen?
-I said IF we had it.

22:40.993 --> 22:42.693
-What does it say?
-Still drafting it.

22:42.695 --> 22:44.729
-Who are they? -Still
tracking down the scientists.

22:44.731 --> 22:46.997
Do you have an email contact
for Rob Thomas?

22:46.999 --> 22:48.833
The lead singer
of Matchbox Twenty?

22:48.835 --> 22:51.669
-Oh. Who am I thinking of?
-Andy Thomas? -That's the one.

22:51.671 --> 22:53.804
-And there are two Dr Karls,
aren't there? -Yeah.

22:53.806 --> 22:57.375
Which one's on 'Neighbours'?
Is Dr Phil Australian?

22:59.511 --> 23:03.514

Well, we're pretty proud of what
we're trying to achieve here.

23:09.856 --> 23:11.622
Certainly some grand plans here.

23:11.624 --> 23:13.224
TONY:
Yeah, more than just plans.

23:13.226 --> 23:15.559
A strength we like to think
we have here at the NBA

23:15.561 --> 23:17.461
is our ability
to see things through.

23:17.463 --> 23:19.296
Not just
make the announcement, but...

23:19.298 --> 23:21.432
What else are you working on
at the moment? If...

23:21.434 --> 23:23.367
-If it's not breaching
any confidences. -TONY: No, no.

23:23.369 --> 23:25.569
We're all pretty transparent
here.

23:25.571 --> 23:26.971
What are we working on?

23:26.973 --> 23:28.873
-The space program.
-Wouldn't mention that one.

23:28.875 --> 23:30.741
-Starting a space program?
-Just thinking about it.

23:30.743 --> 23:32.510

It was an idea.

"Progress kills."

it's less confronting
but still challenging.

to reduce the carnage,

26:19.845 --> 26:21.245
-Thanks! -All set
for the launch?

26:21.247 --> 26:23.147
-Mauboy's out.
-Oh.

26:23.149 --> 26:24.815
-Wouldn't sing in
a hard hat. -Really?

26:24.817 --> 26:27.484
Yeah. Shannon Noll, though.
Apparently he's got his own.

26:27.486 --> 26:29.119
Oh, that's great to hear.

26:29.121 --> 26:31.655
Unfortunately, space program,

26:31.657 --> 26:34.258
PM got a briefing
from Treasury.

26:34.260 --> 26:37.294
Set-up costs,
rocket design...

26:37.296 --> 26:39.463
I sort of suspected
the numbers...

26:39.465 --> 26:41.265
-Oh, well.
Lesson learned. -Sure.

26:41.267 --> 26:43.467
However, you know
what he's really keen on?

26:44.502 --> 26:46.770
That bridge.

26:46.772 --> 26:48.672
To Tasmania.

26:48.674 --> 26:50.407
He just loves the idea

26:50.409 --> 26:54.511
of that really, really
long bridge.
