11
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:25,240
it's quite properly uh being

12
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,920

that you touch on which is we've now had

20
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,960
14 years of chaos of division of

21
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,760
politics being about self- entitlement

22
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,760
and politics needs to be about service

23
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,000
about public

24
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,960
service we think there should be a

25
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,879
