    But was didappointed that all you sent over was a couple of grpahs that not interst ed in

    Neverthe less yourcomments on tariffs resonated with me so I think we agree on the nature ofthe problemds we are f beingwe face

    #rior to the $ede%ral redistribution of electorates my member in Riverina was &ichael&cCormack 'e betrayed Riverina relating to &(B) and water many times 'e did it againwhen we were advocating the Bradfield *cheme when we wanted water for &enindee Lakes+Broken 'ill and the (arling River

    &onths later &ichael broke his silence and said that it was Coalition policy to use waterwhere it falls !he contention of the independent for $arrer , me , and the R")# candidatefor $arrer is that there is enough water from the Bradfield *cheme for -ueensland )N(

    N*. Especially if the Reid *cheme is also brought into play

    This went to Michael McCormack the member for Riverina.

    This is a question which ve People Power Groups are asking of

    each of their members

    !ase" on#. $oe %ocke&'s statement that (.#) G*P growth is nee"e"

    +3+3.

    *oes this mean that "ebt will continue to climb at least until

    +3+3 an" that a balance" bu"get b& +3+# is impossible4'

    Michael never answers an" "i" not answer #( "ebate

    challenges. The results of "ebate challenge #5 is shown in 6ou

    tube as Meeting with 7e"eral Member "espite tra8c noise.'

    ,lso on 6ou Tube are Presi"ential st&le "ebates with 7e"eral

    member.' There are "ebates # an" +.

    The ama9ing thing is that in the local newspaper this member

    The whole of the new electorate of 7arrer along the Murra&River fruit growing region is incense" b& no response relating tocarben"a9im.

    The new political issue is whether or not to increase G-T to#). This takes me back to the time when $ohn %owar" was

    preparing the nation for G-T. The main "issenting voice was anup an" coming political "&namo who also ha" a strong polic& ofa government controlle" bank. %er name is Pauline %anson.

    M& assessment is that the consummate politician $ohn %owar""i" not want to be seen arguing with the likes of Pauline. %esolve" that b& bran"ing her as a racist an" sooling his attack"og onto her.

    Pauline went to prison an" the attack "og went on to becomePrime minister.

    /ood )fternoon young &ichael+ It is good to see you again

    /ood afternoon Brian+ what have you got there?

    !his is the cover of my ne4t book !hings are really crook .e have to implorepeople not to vote for your namesake &ichael &cCormack

    !hat is a bit harsh .e discussed dropping to 0 /(# growth yesterday !hat

    is Dust a low point !here will be a big bounce from here

    8oung &ichael+ I want to show you what I tried to get the other &ichael to taketo Ian &acfarlane and 9oe 'ockey on 31th&ay 023 !his diagram showed thatas long as the actual revenue was fell below needed revenue that the debt wouldremain )s the two got closer together the slope of the curve would decrease

    I understand that

    !he problem+ young &ichael+ was that /(# growth got lower so theactual net revenue got further away and the slope of the curveincreased .hen we dropped to 0 /(# growth the slope of thecurve got much steeper 8our namesake does not want to even thinkabout this

    I am sure that he will talk to you soon because the China $ree !rade)greement and the !## will improve everything

    I know that the other &ichael+ )ndrew Robb+ *cott &orrison and&alcolm !urnbull will say that but )ndrew Robb said that in the pastthree years he has negotiated three trade deals and we have sunk tothe lowest /(# growth ever (oesn=t that tell you something?

    8ou do not understand Brian !hese are much bigger

    (oesn=t that mean that the problems will be bigger?

    13/144

    No way .e are living in times of huge opportunity @ur country willgrow strongly

    8oung &ichael+ you are starting to sound like a politician .e have tohave a commercial break now I want you to sketch in the movementsfor /(# growth for the ne4t four Auarters leading to thee ne4telection

    !hat commercial break was for Bunnings )re thy relations of yours?8ou have shown steady growth but what do you feel that the other&ichael would be prepared to say instead of leaving it to a rabbit

    I have Dust had a signal from my producer &ichael I want to sincerelyapologise for any inferences I have made I want to publically statethat I think that you are smarter than most of the politicians we have!he really sobering thought is that even with the steady growth youhave shown the target of F3 will not be achieved so that the debtcurve will not even flatten out

    &ichael+ do you think that *cott &orrison would understand that eventhenG

    3 (ebt would continue to climb but at a lower rate0 !here should be an accompanying curve for the huge interest

    componentF !hat a return to surplus even by 0232 is e4tremely un likely

    /ood morning Brian+ it is a pleasure to work with you but I do have a smallconcern that you might be trying to trick me

    &ichel+ I am sorry that you feel that way but let us summarise yesterday=ssession 8ou agreed that )ustralia=s current account has deteriorated since 3672

    8es+ I did

    8ou agreed that rural farm debt has increased from 5ero in 3672 to more than72 bn now

    8es and I really feel for farmers because of that

    8ou agreed that )ustralia=s /(# growth of 0 is a disaster

    8es but there is no way that I am going to say that it has been caused by thereduction in tariffs and successive free trade agreements

    &ichel+ you are nice looking young fella 8ou also want you to be known foryour logical thinking .hat do you think is the reason for terrible /(# growth?

    It is because of the mess that the Labor #arty left us

    &ichael+ no .hen I paid 3%22 for you+ I realised that you were made inChina but I did not realise that you were engrained with a Coalition mentalityLet me take you back to the time when your namesake &ichael &cCormackand I had some of our last conversations !hat was before his minders said thatwe should not communicate &ichael had arranged for Ian &acfarlane to writeto me Ian proudly said that in 0230 )ustralia=s e4ports were F22bn I told&ichael to tell him that they should g have been %2bn In his budget 9oe

    'ockey said that he was now the !reasurer and that the budget would balance(o you remember that &ichael?

    8es I do .e were on top of the world .e were the envy of the (eveloped.orld E4cept for a hostile *enate+ none of what is happening now would behappening Even from this low point if we have a China $ree !rade )greementand then when we sign off on the !rans #acific #artnership we will get Dobs+

    Dobs+ Dobs

    &ichael+ you really are representing &ichael &cCormack perfectly I want totake you through some baby steps starting with the information from Ian

  • 7/26/2019 Micheal (McCormack), do not let us die

    19/144

    &cCormack Referring to this diagram , it is all about revenue It has alwaysbeen about revenue I want you , cute little &ichael > to get this informationthrough &ichael &cCormack to *cott &orrison @r from you+ young &ichael+straight to *cott &orrison *cott said

    about revenue= &ichael+ get the message through 8es it is about containingcosts )N( about insufficient revenue

    .e no longer have an oil refinery+ we no longer have much manufacturing .ewill soon have no car manufacturing Instead of using our abundant suppliesof coal we are subsidising :using ta4payer money; solar and wind .e pay forimported food :at low cost; but our agricultural wealth is waning :as farm debtincreases e4ponentially;

    &ichael+ what do you say about that

    I know all of that .hat you do not know Brian is that &alcolm !urnbullagrees with the professor at &onash "niversity in Churchill Hictoria whosaidG

    )bout a week ago there was a film posted in 8ou !ube with a lot of trafficnoise !o>day we in the Auiet studio of Radio Independent &y ambition is tohave a series of )merican #residential type debates with &ichal &cCormack

    !o help me the rabbit , whose name is > &ichael is in the studio with me

    /ood afternoon+ do you mind if I call you &ichael?

    !hat is very acceptable as long as I can call you Brian

  • 7/26/2019 Micheal (McCormack), do not let us die

    21/144

    8es but there can be lots of reasons

    Like what?

    !he effect of carbenda5im in imported orange concentrate !he effectof the reduction in irrigation water

    I accept that they contribute to these .e need to debate what you aredoing about it

    I believe that tariff reduction is a larger contributor than the otherscombined .e need to discuss all of these Auestions

    !his is all too much for me in one session I need to get back to you

    &ichael+ that is what you kept saying at our previous meeting .hencan all of these be discussed later? I will amend my list ofoutstanding debate items and try and assign time tables

    &ichael+ you are a cute little fella I also like your spirit 8ou front up

    for a debate even though you know that the pressure is on you

    8ou have already committed yourself to at least three more debatesrelating to tariff reduction > the morphing of tariff reduction into"niversal $ree !rade and the < claimed to be deadly= free tradeagreements and the final straws the China $ree !rade )greement andthe !## 8ou have committed to at least one session relating to

    banking !here are two relating to irrigation water and the very

    contentious symbolic crossing of the floor !here is another on theshielding of Barnab y 9oyce from the carbendaim issues+ another on&ichael &cCormack=s as #arliamentary *ecretary to the &inister for$inance when )ustralia was plunged into debt !here could be anongoing session about &ichael &cCormack=s current position as)ssistant &inister to the (eputy #rime &inister !here could be asession limited only to &ichael &cCormack=s obsession with theresponse

    more debatete realting to

    I have Doined the dots and have seen some correlations but Dust need to to

    determine if we are on common ground - F

    =No+ I do not want to make a connection=

    I understand @ here is a different Auestion Can you accept that at 0 /(#growth that we are an all time low for )ustralia No+ I do not know that it is anall time low and I cannot make the comparison

    @ &ichael+ I want to ask two different types of Auestions -

    Is this a trap? No it is not a trap but tiit could be a turning point in ourdiscussion !his graph is of great conern to all of uisNo+ Can you accept that these )ustralian Bureau of *tatistics figures arecorrect?Brian+ let me make this clear I can accept that the graph is correct and the

    Nationals are doing what they can to reverse this situation'ow can you e4plain the the relewntless erosion olf each of th ekindiactions Ihave mentioned?

    !here are a lot of reasons for it which have nothinbg to to do with tariffreductoion?
