australian values are about another. australian values are about afairgo, and another. after ten years of positive polling, that australia supports this change. it is about time that the government came to the table and progressed with the rest of the population. given that, then, do you think a compulsory vote is likely? no, it wasn't likely because the will of the australian people is for the government to do its job. will of the australian people is for the government to do itsjob. we elect these people to make decisions on our behalf. that is that democratic place within our institutional systems. and this is really a new low in terms of democracy, and it will devalue what democracy, and it will devalue what democracy and decision making and the parliament means going forward. what we don't want to see is that every time a social issue comes up, oi’ every time a social issue comes up, oran every time a social issue comes up, or an issue is difficult comes up, is that the public are demanding a postal vote or a plebiscite on those issues. that is what the democratic

the brains behind that plan was at the time a guy who was the australian treasurer.is now the australian ambassador to the u.s. and he thinks it is a good idea for the u.s. he has a relationship with mike pence and the president. he has brought with him some business executives from australia who are lobbying the administration to do something similar here. >> we definitely want to get to the australian point and why they are so keen on doing this. on the sf recycling element, walk us through an example. let's say a toll booth or highway. it sounds like an interesting concept, leasing a public entity like a tollbooth. what is the typical timeframe in which somebody leases that? is it depending on the length of the project, on how much revenue they need? >> it is case by case. for example in indiana in 2015, the indiana toll road was bought out of bankruptcy. the lease on that road was brought out of bankruptcy by, as it turns out, an australian consortium of investors called ism. i think they paid $5.7 billion for it. you get that cash flow as the investor. if you ar

we have been given a lot more detail about the australian federal police who are talking about differents, an aborted attempt to take an improvised explosive device onto a flight improvised explosive device onto a flight out of sydney on etihad airways and they allege these two men planned to take an ied onto that plane but for whatever reason, they say they don't know why, it never made it beyond check—in so the bag was never checked in. what followed, they allege, was part of that device we re they allege, was part of that device were taken to try and assemble some type of poisonous gas bomb which would emit poisonous hydrogen sulphide, a stink bomb, which would have been deadly to any passengers however they stressed that that secondary plot was not as advanced. they had not been able to complete it. all of this was under the direction of a senior is fighter who might be related to one of the two, connected to someone in syria. you told us these two men were two of the four arrested last weekend. to we know more about them? they still haven't appeared formally. they will appear via vid

and here's another portion of his conversation with the australian prime minister. he says, look, i do not know how you got them to sign a deal like this, but that is how they lost the election. they said i had no way to 270 and i got 306. that is why they lost the election because of stupid deals like this. you have brokered many a stupid deal in the business. i respect you but guarantee you broke many a stupid deal. this is a stupid deal. this deal will make me look terrible. ed president, wolf, you know, showing sensitivity perhaps welcoming refugees into the country from australia he might look soft on the issue of immigration and refugees, which obviously was an issue he hit time and again out on the campaign trail and feels that was part of the reason he was repelled into the white house. wolf? >> in april we know the vice president mike pence publicly announced the trump administration and u.s. would accept the deal worked out by the obama administration. a deal the president, according to those it transcripts really, really hated. jim acosta at the white hou

how much stimulus is in the real australian economy at the moment?think there is a fair amount of stimulus, in terms of the level of interest rates. i would point to this morning's release of the private sector house pricing index, which showed a re-acceleration of house prices above 10% year on year. as the previous governor said, the key transmission mechanism of interest rates in australia has nothing to do with investment or anything really through house prices. so, i think there is quite a lot of stimulus. the slowdown, there is clearly a slowdown in the housing activity. but that has a little bit to do with higher interest rates. i think it is much more a australian the regulatory authority and rba leaning on the bank heavily and making sure that some of the risk year characteristics of investor loans are being pared back. yousef: i want to take a step away from the domestic story and look at how the rba might react to some of the shifting faultlines in global monetary policy. was that in line with expectations? rba go from here for the rest of
