Look, I think people are kind of in politics.

People go, yeah, OK, things have changed.

So, as things change, so...

to people's intentions.

And he's already laid the groundwork with his statement, which was released overnight, saying, because of the prospect of a Liberal One Nation Party coalition, I've had to reconsider my position.

I can't stand by and let that possibly happen.

And that is astonishing because they don't have a leader.

And they don't have policies.

It's a vibe to borrow from the castle.

The one thing that now is out of the way is remarkably the most unpopular Premier Victoria's ever seen and one of the most unpopular politicians Australia's ever seen.

And I don't think that's fair to Jacinta Allen.

I actually think she didn't run a bad government.

She had a couple of blind spots.

But other than that, I don't think she deserves to be the most unpopular political figure we've seen.

I can't possibly tell the answer to that question.

And we've seen this again and again and again, whether it's at the federal level with Julia Gillard and Julie Bishop in the Liberal Party, who was allowed to serve as a deputy to, I don't know, I lost count of how many different leaders, but was never allowed to be the leader.

or whether you've seen it with Carmen Lawrence or Gladys Berejiklian or Anna Bly in Queensland and on and on it goes, there's definitely an issue in Australian politics, not just Australian, we've seen it in other Western countries as well, where women do not get cut the same slack.
