00:01Dear Premier Ben, it's been a while since we've heard from you.
00:06We know you're a busy man cutting ribbons in suburban Melbourne.
00:11So, we've made you a guide on how to actually find Warrnambool.
00:16First, leave Parliament House and point the car west down the Princess Highway.
00:21It's roughly 260 kilometres to Leibig Street.
00:24By our conservative math, that works out to about one pothole every 50 metres.
00:30We strongly suggest packing two spare tyres, a hydraulic jack and a three-day supply of non-perishable food.
00:39Because, if you blow a rim near Tarang, RACV wait times around here are slightly longer than the time it
00:46takes your office to ignore our interview requests.
00:49And we're currently up to seven.
00:51Now, if you prefer public transport, you can take the train. Excellent choice.
00:57Just a heads up though, our platforms were never extended like the ones in Shepparton.
01:02So, when your velocity rolls in, prepare for a little bit of intimacy with your fellow commuters.
01:09And, make sure to pack a lunch box.
01:11The snack bar on the Warrnambool line was scrapped.
01:14So, if you get peckish while sitting on a side track waiting for a signal fault to clear, you're on
01:19your own.
01:19If you do manage to navigate the craters and survive the train ride, welcome to the Southwest.
01:26There's plenty to see.
01:28Over that way, you'll find local cancer patients.
01:30They're currently preparing for a six-hour round trip to Melbourne on those exact same crumbling roads for a scan.
01:37All because your government rejected a fully funded, bulk billed PET scanner offered to us by a private consortium at
01:46zero cost to the taxpayer.
01:47You declared back in July that you're...
01:50I'm not Daniel Andrews.
01:53I am not Jacinta Allen.
01:55And that this was a fresh start.
01:58We'd love to believe you, Premier Ben.
02:00So, punch Warrnambool into the GPS, pack a sandwich and come show us.
02:06We'll even keep the kettle on while we wait.
02:09Drive safe.
02:10Lots of love from Southwest Victoria.
02:12Are you ready?
02:13Thanks.
02:15Let us know.
02:15If you hear a message, please help us.
02:15All right, we're traveling together.
02:15You are ready for a special phrase.
02:16We'll be back in the entire episode.
02:16We'll be back in the next episode.
02:17We will be back to the administration's office.
02:17We've been back in the next episode.
02:17We'll be back in the next episode.
02:17We'll be back in the next episode.
02:17A little bit more.
