-This is a nation building... [Overlapping voices] -Nation building... -Are you sure you're okay?
-Oh, it's just a bit sore.
I probably didn't stretch enough.
Hey, Scotty.
-Well, I mean, it's great that you even finished.
-What does that mean?
-Well, with the charity run, your time doesn't matter.
-I wouldn't know my time.
-An hour seven.
-What?
-It's on their website.
Would you like us to order a commemorative photo?
There's a link there.
-No.
You know what, Katie?
I reckon we put a hold on corporate fundraisers for a while.
-So it'll be a no for breakfast with the boss?
-No.
-Boardroom blood drive?
-Not this year.
-Oh, and Jim rang again about the contract?
-I told him I'll get back when I'm finished.
-Sure.
-So with the increase in connectedness and the de-siloing of data, we're going to see a revolution in workplace efficiency.
Sure, there's always going to be those resistant to the change that need to be dragged along, kicking and screaming.
But make no mistake, folks, digital transformation will revolutionize the way we all do business.
It's not a wave.
This is a tsunami, and it's going to wipe away anyone that tries to swim against the tide.
Thanks, guys.
[ Applause ] -How's it going?
-Good.
-How's the fun run?
-Oh, fine.
-Heard you were a bit off the pace.
-It was a fundraiser.
There was no pace.
-Hour and seven.
-How'd you know about that?
-Someone sent me this.
I'll flick you the link.
-I wouldn't bother.
Sorry.
What's up?
-Just wondering how we're going with the old port sale.
-Well, getting there.
-Great.
Boys in finance tell me you've really been working them over.
-By asking for the whole contract.
-So we're ready for the old... -If this is going to have our name on it.
-Are we close?
-I just got the latest draft this morning.
-Yep.
-300 pages plus spreadsheets.
-Yeah, but the executive summary?
-Well, I can tell you right up front, we're not going to agree to a 100-year lease.
-They wanted 150.
I'll talk to them.
But the rest of it?
-New building, new year, new approach.
I'll let you know when I'm finished.
-Sure.
I'll wait outside.
-Two weeks.
-I got to tell you.
With the price we're talking, the sooner we get this thing signed -- -Or you can take it back now.
-Alright, you win.
But... [ Clicks tongue ] You can gesture.
-I don't want to see you for a fortnight.

[ Applause ] Just looking forward to getting you all up to speed.
-Thank you, Justin.
Very exciting stuff.
-So any questions?
-I've got a couple.
-Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, Justin.
We might put a hold on the Q&A.
We've all got a fair bit to do, so let's get on with it.
-I'll get back to you.

-Who is he?
-Justin.
-What's he doing here?
-Rhonda's organized an I.T.
overhaul.
-Does he know not to come near me?
-I'll double-check.
-Okay.
-Katie, can you get on to Jim?
I think this contract is missing an appendix.
-Sure.

Why are you holding a sleeping bag?
-You know how you said no more fundraising activities?
-Yes.
-We may have already said yes to the CEO sleepout.
-[ Sighs ] Katie.
-Rhonda says corporate social responsibility is important.
-Rhonda can do it.
-She'll be at a conference.
-She can go after.
-It's in Fiji.

-Of course you're doing it.
If you can dawdle a few kilometers around a lake... -10.
-...you can spend one night glamping for a good cause.
-What's the cause?
-I don't know.
Let's assume it's good.
Now, I've got a note here from Jim -- "Port sale."
-What about it?
-Says he's waiting for your tick of approval, followed by a sad face emoji.
-Rhonda, I'm wading through a 300-page legal document.

-I need -- [ Clicks tongue ] -It's actually 320.

♪♪♪ -So, Nat, Rhonda's given me a bit of a heads-up.
Just so I can get your read on it, in terms of digital operability, how would you rank this office?
-Um, fair?
Medium could -- I'm not quite sure what you mean.
-For example, how do you guys communicate?
-We talk.
-And?
-Listen.
-In terms of network platforms, do you Dropbox, sandbox, Google Hangouts?
-We e-mail.
-You can see why I said it was urgent.
-Where are you guys at with document management systems?
-That's DMS, Nat.
-We have computer files.
-And?
-And those filing cabinets.
-[ Laughing ] -Why are you laughing?
-Because Justin is.
-So nothing cloud-based, off-site encrypted servers?
-Uh, meaning?
-If I said to you two-step authorization protocols, you would say...?
-What are they?
[ Ringtone plays ] -Sorry, I've got to jump on this.
-Absolutely.
-No problem.
-Thank you, Justin.
Would you at least try and show some gratitude?
-Rhonda, I don't have time.
-What's your problem?
-We've got so much going on right now.
I really can't afford any distractions.
-And that's exactly why you need Justin and his team.
-What do you mean, team?
-You can't expect him to fix this mess on his own.
-Since when is there a mess?
-You won't even know they're here.
Shh.
-But even without those power stations, we're looking at excess base load capacity.
-Are we treating each of the grid networks separately?
-For the purposes of the upgrade, yes.
-So you want individual costings?
-Yes, but we also need to factor in new methods of -- -Have you got a mo?
-Sure.
Come on in.
-Grab a seat.
-Cheers.
I've been watching you guys for a while now, just with this whole, uh... -National electricity grid.
-Yeah, just a couple of initial observations.
You use a lot of paper.
-We try and recycle.
-No.
I'm not -- [ Laughter ] -Why are you laughing?
-Because everyone else is.
-I think step one is we get you all on a fully digital system.
Get you all up in the cloud.
-Wow.
-Sounds great.
-I really appreciate what you're doing.
-Can I cut you off there?
-You just did.
-Is this all streamlined?
Everything you do.
-Maybe.
But I'm just concerned that we might be putting the cart before the horse.
-The cart of the future won't need a horse.
-What happens to the horse?
-It's in the cloud.
-Cloud.
-Wow.
And the cart?
-Maybe we could discuss this later.
-It's a fully digital integrated system.
-Can I just get my head around this?
-Sure.
-I've got this piece of paper.
-Content.
-And I want to... -Feed it into your digital architecture.
-Sure.
So the first step would be... -Encrypt it.
-Okay.
-Log it.
-Logged and encrypted and then it goes...?
-To the fifth floor.
-The cloud.
-Exactly.
-Well, it's hard to be sure without those appendices, but if we factor in the extra 15%, yeah, from the asset recycling initiative.
Yep.
Sorry, Matt.
Do you mind if I give you a call back in five minutes?
Sure.
Thanks.
What's that?
-Equipment.
-What for?
-CEO sleepout.
Will you be needing an EPIRB?
-A what?
-An EPIRB.
It's an emergency beacon.
-I doubt it.
-What about a compression bandage?
-What for?
-Snakebite?
-I'll be in the CBD.
-Water purification tablets?
-There's a 7-Eleven across the road.
Seriously, I need the rest of this contract.
-I'll give them another call.
-Okay.
Thanks.
-Mosquito net?
-Nope.
-No.
Next to her.
-With the blue top.
-Yep.
-Alexandra.
Alexandria?
-We're now up to eight people.
-It's Justin's team.
-That's not a team.
It's a battalion.

Should I go and introduce myself?
-No.
Well, yes.
And at least get her name.

-And a vague job description.

-She's assisting Kira.
-Hey, which one's Kira?
-I'll find out.
I think she's assisting Justin.
-The sale of the port is proceeding very well.
-The long-term lease of the port... -The port's privatization has raised anxiety.
-What are they worried about it?
-It should stay Australian.
-These are big undertakings.
-Everyone wants a piece of the pie.
-Morning, Brian.
-Quick question.
Have you used a butane stove before?
-What?
-It can be a little temperamental.
-Why would I need a butane stove?
-Well, for this sleepout thingy.
Katie said you were chasing gear.
-I don't think I'll need a stove.
-Famous last words.
Take it.
-Okay.
-I've also got you one of these.
-A camp shower?
-Life-saver.
Trust me.
-Thanks.
-Alright.
-No, Katie, no.
It's very kind, but why would I need a camp shower?
-It's on the list.
-What list?
-Of camping essentials.
-Whose camping essentials?
-Bear Grylls.
-Bear Grylls is a survivalist.
-Do you own a hunting knife?
-No.
For the last time, I'm not going camping.

-I think so.
-What?
-She said Nat wanted to see them.
-Just give it an hour or so.
-Oh, hang on, what does that say?
-Um, she'll apply to the party list in appendix B.
-Yeah.
-It says -- Hang on.
Uh, in accordance with the table set out in schedule 7A.
-What does 7A say?
-Okay.
See provision note appendix D.
-Page?
-Hmm.
That'd be 82.

-There's a footnote.
-What does the footnote say?
As per clause H -- Where the hell is clause H?
Oh!
-Oh, is it your knee?
-Katie?
Get Jim!
-And some ice.
-No, it's not the same contract.
They've added a clause.
-It's in the appendix.
-No one reads that.
-I did.
"No competing port facilities shall be allowed to operate within the economic zone for the next 50 years."
-I don't even know what that means.
-It's just lawyer speak.
-It means no one can compete with them for 50 years.
-They wanted 100.
They're talking $8 billion.
-I'd pay 10 if you gave me that clause.
-Oh, what's your problem?
-We're just trying to get the best price for the taxpayer.
-But you don't do that by signing up to a lousy deal.
Alright, we allow this clause.
-Great.
-I'll let the minister know.
-No, no, I'm giving you a hypothetical.
-Well, you didn't say that.
-It was in my inflection.
-Well, I didn't pick it up.
-Hypothetically... -Got it.
-...we allow this clause effectively giving the new owners a monopoly.
Next year, they triple the charges.
What do we do then?
-Wait 49 years?
-Jim.
-It's not going to happen.
-That's exactly what happens when you don't have competition.
-Hypothetically?
-No.
-Well, pick an inflection.
-Sorry, guys, but I'm just not going to sign off on this deal.
-It is this close to falling over.
-I wouldn't be surprised if they've already pulled out.
-Well, let's find out, shall we?
-I'm not asking much.
Just... Mm-mm.
-Doesn't matter how small you make the... You want this?
-Mm-hmm.
-That clause goes.
-But isn't off-peak demand, about half of daytime demand?
-You can't assume that going forward.
So you need to come up with a range of scenarios.
-Which would mean we'd have to change the relative prices.
-Yes.
Let's start with the current projections.
-Another meeting?
-Yep.
As I was saying, we've got a few major projects underway.
-Yeah.
But the face-to-face meetings... -What does...mean?
-You know, there's a smarter option.
-Why are you nodding?
-Because I've seen this.
-What do you know about Contech?
-Sounds amazing.
-Do you know what it is?
-Not exactly.
But "con" and "tech."
-What exactly is Contech?
-Maybe I should bring Aaron in.
-Just in your own words.
-It's a digital networking and conference platform.
-Wow.
-Install it on that computer and you can talk to anyone in the office.
It's like a digital intercom.
-I can talk to anyone in the office.
-Using what?
-My voice.
-She's pretty loud.
-I mean, without leaving your desk.
-She's very loud.
-What if they're on the other side of the world?
-I really think face-to-face is still a better option.
-It is face-to-face.
It's real-time audio/visual.
It's got the data windows.
Aaron's built this specifically -- -Sorry, which one is Aaron?
-Black chinos.
-Black chinos.
-Black ch-- What if he changes his pants?
-Let's just try it.
Let's get it installed on that computer.
-We are right in the middle of a critical project.
-Perfect timing then.
Now you can link everything you're doing onto a single seamless platform.
And then?
-I'll go get Aaron.
-Katie!
Where are my meetings for the week?
-I put them in your iCal folder.
-My what?
-Justin wants to migrate -- -Stop.
-But he -- -Delete.
-He wants to -- -Apple undo.
-Justin says -- -Justin's not allowed to come within five meters of my office.
No upgrades, no new apps, nothing with the letters I or E in it.
I want my diary.
-In PDF form?
-No P-- Diary, ink, paper, with a little ribbon that tells me what page to open to.
-Okay, don't tell Justin.
-I don't want to talk to Justin.
-White flag.
You've had a win.
-Really?
-Called their bluff with a pair of twos and checkmate.
-They're two different -- You mean the non-compete clause?
-Hasta la vista, baby.
Make my day.
-They're two different films.
-It's gone.
-Well, that's great.
And we haven't offered anything in return?
-Well, it's bound to be a bit of give and take.
-But the lease, still 50 years?
-Yep.
-And people can set up other ports, no exclusion zone?
-I don't know how they're going to make a cent out of this deal.
-And there'll be independent pricing regulation?
-Is this an emergency beacon?
How small is it?
-Jim?
-How do you activate one of these?
-Independent pricing regulation.
-I don't even know what that means.
You're spending too much time with the lawyers.
-Without it, they can control their own prices.
-That is ringing a bell.
-Outside of agreed CPI adjustments.
-Louder bell.
-I took that clause out.
-It's at the back now.
-Doesn't matter where it is.
Look, if you want our name on the contract... -Hypothetical?
-If you want our name on the contract -- -Remove the clause.
-Remove the clause.
-Sounds drastic.
-I'm not budging.
-Alright.
But I'm telling you, this time they'll walk.
You may as well go camping.
I'll give them a call.

-Cardboard.
-No.
Not homeless p-- -Oh.
-Where exactly is the sleepout?
-I'll get you the grid reference.
-An address is better.
-I know its bearing 236.
-Yeah.
That's... -Tony, that's Jim on line two.
-Oh, great.
Jim -It was the bottom of the ninth and you got it into the end zone.
-They're two different sp-- But the clause?
-Gone.
-Okay, so any party will have the right to build a port?
-You bet.
-And no first and last right of refusal?
-They're not happy.
-So just to clarify, if there is a new entrant, we're not going to offer some sort of compensation arrangement, are we?
Jim?
[ Clicks tongue ] I think I lost him.
-Uh, no.
I'm here.
Give me, uh, a few hours.
[ Horn honks ] -Are you sure you got enough rope?
-Yeah.
No.
I'm fine.
-So you did the fun run, too?
-Yeah.
Yeah.
-I was a bit disappointed with my time.
-Oh, it's a fundraiser, isn't it?
-Yeah, but 46 minutes.
I was hoping to do better.
-Oh.
Next year?
-See you at the breakfast with the boss next year?
-Nah, I'm not doing it this year.
No, I'm going to give it a -- give it a -- -Hey, there you are.
-Jim, what are you doing here?
-They've blinked again.
Compensation clause gone.
-Great.
-I reckon they are that close to signing this thing.
Do you want to have a squiz?
-Here?
-Yeah.
Have you got a spare torch?
-Uh, you don't have a spare torch, do you?
-You've got a torch?
-Sorry.
-Yeah, that's page 71.
[ Indistinct conversation ] -That's alright, that's okay.
In reference to table 3.1, 3C, table 2.3.
Okay.
Alright, alright.
Okay.
-You got shipping.
-What page is that?
-65.
What do you reckon?
-I reckon it's okay.
-Great.
-I'm not going to sign it here.
-I've got a pen.
-No, no, no, I need to speak with their CEO.
-He's here.
-Where?
-Blue sleeping bag.
Hey, Frank!
-Is that you, Jim?
-We're pretty close.
-I'll come over.
-That's alright, that's okay.
Financial year.
2007-08 year.
What's your return?
-It's hard work, Frank, I tell you.
-I don't know, Frank.
I think we're going to have to adjust those loan rates.
-I can give you another 0.2%.
-That's it.
I think it's going to have to be 0.4%.
-How's this bloke?
Genghis Khan?
Art of war.
-That doesn't make sense.
-0.4% will make it very difficult for us to realize a return.
-Seriously?
On current projections, you're going to make $5 million a year minimum on that item alone.
-Oh, it does sound a lot.
-Yeah.
-Alright.
Fair enough.
-Okay.
Sorry.
Who are you?
-Oh, I sleep here.
-Oh!
Oh, well, thanks for having us.
We better write this down actually.
Has anybody got something blank we could write on?
-Oh, I've got something.
-Okay.
Thank you.
-Did you get any sleep?
-Not much.
That mattress kept going down.
-You should have taken that pump I got you.
-That was an air compressor.
-Portable.
-Ah, there you are.
Okay, I think we're close.
-Read that.
-"I'm down on my luck and homeless.
Six months ago I lost my --" -Other side.
-Oh.
"In the event of a subsequent competing facility built in or adjacent to the prescribed economic zone, the lessee shall retain [ Mumbling ] -Well?
-It's good.
-Let's get it typed up.
-That's lovely.
Just tuck in, Tony.
There we go.
Minister, anything to say to the team?
-I think we've achieved a wonderful result here.
In fact, I think we get the tick of approval.
[ Laughter ] -Yes, we do.
Alright, now reading.
Let's have a shot of everybody reading.
Oh, it's a wonderful document.
-Thanks, Jim.
I must say, you took your time.
Put us all through the wringer.
-Jim, it's a 320-page document.
-I've got 321.
-No.
320.
That doesn't make sense.
-Oh, look, there's an extra page.
-Okay, everyone at the camera and smile.
-Smile, Tony.
