Murray Olds: Australian correspondent on the Liberal Party dropping an anti-Labor diss track

A response from the Australian Prime Minister after being dissed in a rap song by the Liberal party.

The track released by Peter Dutton's Liberal party takes aim at Anthony Albanese's leadership - claiming he's ruined the economy and risen the cost-of-living.

The voice behind the song is an un-named 'commercial artist'.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds has been quick to label this move as 'nonsense'.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And with us out of Australia, we've got Murray Olds
are Australia corresponder.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I Mus, my old mate. Lovely to have you back.
How you've been pretty good?

Speaker 1 (00:07):
I hope very well and all the better for having
a chat to you Mus today. I'm looking forward to
what you've got to tell me about. Tell me about
the strive by in Sydney. What do we know about this?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, it's a terrible story. Sixty five year old grandmother
at home in her property, rented property, been there about
eight weeks, nine weeks according to police. Also in the
house a thirty four year old man and a twenty
one year old woman. Three people have pulled up in
a dark car about five past eleven last night Sydney time.
At least one of them's opened fire on the house

(00:38):
and peppert the building. It's a suburban home, for goodness sake,
and the building's been shot up and the woman in
her living room was shot once in the leg and
she's died on the floor of a living room, notwithstanding
the fact ambulance was there pretty quick police as well.
Now police are saying this is a targeted attack, but
that we still don't know police don't know if the

(00:59):
victim was the intended target, or was it the younger woman,
the twenty one year old or the thirty four year
old man. We don't have the relationship between the three
people who resided there. The family was known to police,
and basically police now waiting to formally identify the young
couple who were in the home. Whether it's a son

(01:21):
and the daughter, we're not sure, but they were obviously
very traumatized by what's happened. Looking now for any burnt
out cars that are not too far away, also looking
for any CCTV that could help them find who these
absolute swine are too.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right, Hey, what do you make of this dis track
that's come from the Liberal Party?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well, if that's the best they've got, we're better off
with labor taker. Listen, this is a song called leaving labor.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
You need the wait it is supposed to be and
the money was spending on groceries. I just want to
buy some eggs and cheese one hundred bucks, you kid
in me. It cost too much to live. The economy
is looking at so we live in shape to check
labor goat is still and self stressed. We need to
find a solution. We need to switch up. The people
in press don't want to put on the team.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well, I don't trust you. I've got to be honest
with you. I mean, you're since when are you are?
A purveyor of fine hip hop? Answers? This any good?
I'm a skinny white guy. I've lost my card.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Took no answer.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I don't know either, Mas, why do you reckon it's
not any good?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I mean, look, what's upon a time we had politicians
who had stuff to say to people? This is just nonsense?
Was it created by ai Liberal party says? Or we're
not going to say it's only it's a professional musician. Really,
the poor bucker won't be doing any eating on the
back of that. That's dreadful. I mean they've got these
two leaders wandering around like half wits and high visit

(02:46):
Hawaiian shirts with the back of flunkies following on behind,
speaking into cameras and microphones, saying the same stuff at
different sides of the country. This is what we're reduced
to over here, both promising billions of dollihood he's going
to pay for it? I mean it's all going to
be borrowed money to pay for these nonsensical promises both
sides are making. And have a look who's tanking the

(03:09):
last three poles in the twenty four and the twenty
four hours just gone. Peter Dutton is heading south, as
is his personal ratings. I mean, no one's buying his
brand of snake oil and what Albanez he's saying he
might be a snake as well, but he's saying, listen,
in trouble times, stick with the snake you've got.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Muzz I was wondering about this with Peter Dutton. Is
this a case of people just Peter Dutton seems an
incredibly unlikable figure. And it's kind of okay if you
just see a little bit of him from time to time,
But if you see as much of him as you
do in an election campaign, you just don't like what
he's selling. Is that what's going on?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
He's a turnoff mate. And here's the thing. He's been
in politics since two thousand and one. He entered Parliament
as a very young, very capable young man up in
Queensland popular He now presides over the most narrow margin
in any seat in Queensland. He's the leader of the
Liberal Party. He's been a minister for five different prime
ministers on the front bench and this is the best

(04:03):
he's got. I think you're one hundred percent right. The
more we see him, the more we dislike it.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, I think so. Hey, Maz, thank you very much.
You look after you. Someone's good to talk to you about.
That's Marry Old's Australia correspondent.
