How's it going to work?

Because you're in the States as we speak, not for World Cup soccer reasons, but I believe you are going back there for those reasons.

How is it being received over there?

Because I've seen a few articles, or in fact a lot of articles, about the ticket prices being just not touched by the consumer, but they're coming down in price.

It'll be monstrous, the World Cup here.

Absolutely monstrous.

Okay.

Yeah, can't wait for it.

Yep.

It's an amazing event.

Yeah, I know that, but it did seem to be initially overpriced.

I think there's been all sorts of speculation about manipulating the markets and all those things from various individual external parties, but all I can tell you is there's a huge demand for tickets and they are expensive, very expensive.

Okay, yep.

I still can't see a world where Pauline Hanson is Prime Minister.

I know the polls suggest she's tracking well, but I just cannot have a world where that happens.

Surely that can't happen, can it?

I would have said, was it 20 years ago that Pauline Hanson was in jail for her efforts?

And now 11 weeks in jail and now she's in the most popular political leader in the country.

It's an unbelievable reflection of where we are as a society, isn't it?

Yep.
