-We're building a strong, prosperous Australia... -It is a massive project... -A new era of forward thinking... -Truly big-picture stuff... -We have a national to-do list... -A major infrastructure project... -It's an incredible, transformative opportunity... -We're spending more than any government has ever spent... -An extraordinary figure of... -$10 billion... -$35 billion... -$44 billion... -$75 billion... -This is a nation building... -Nation building... -Nation building... -Nation building... -Nation building... -Nation building... -We could do a new lamp.

-But there's nothing wrong with my lamp.

-Desk?

-I don't need a new desk.

-But you said it would be ridiculous if we didn't use the budget.

No, I said it would be ridiculous if we spend in order to use the budget.

-Is that not the same?

-No, it's the opposite.

-I think I just heard "ridiculous".

-You might have, but that's okay.

-What about the couch?

-What about it?

It looks a bit tired, and with all the important meetings you have... -You know what, Courtney?

I've just got so little time.

-I can organize it.

-Okay, sure.

Thank you.

-Okay.

-Good on you.

-How's it going?

-Jim.

-I thought you were heading to Canberra.

-On my way now.

-Great.

And you got the updated briefing notes?

'Cause I had a thought for the big meeting.

I reckon don't go through the premiers.

Go straight through the treasurers.

Get... The COAG?

-Oh, this is ringing a bell.

-Yeah, more than a bell.

The intermodal... the National Integrated Transport Network?

-The freight thing.

-That's it, yep.

I reckon we're so close now and the ducks are starting to line up, because... -Can we put a pin in that just for one second?

-Yeah?

One second?

-What do you know about sustainable densification?

-Oh, it's an urban planning move where they're trying... Sorry, what's this for?

-Guptil Kapur is here for the Smart Cities conference.

Popped up on Lateline.

-So?

-The minister was wondering if it's something we should be looking at.

-Yeah, I really don't think so.

-It's pretty interesting.

-Yeah, but it's another one of those fashionable trends.

They pop up, then they go away.

-Might run it by 'em in Canberra.

-I reckon, though, keep our eyes... you know, let's focus on the main... The intermodal.

-The freight thing!

-That's it.

Yeah.

-Absolutely!

Eyes on the prize.

-That's the idea.

-Oh, they've got a website.

Densification.org.

-Katie?

Just the door?

Thanks, mate.

- Due in town for next week's Smart Cities conference... - The issue us really what we do to repair the urban sprawl... - We've had sustainable cities.

Now we need resilient cities.

So says... - ...a green city to really catalyze... - ...for a livable, prosperous, and sustainable future.

- So, come on over, come and blog with us, give us your ideas... -This is amazing.

-Mm-hmm.

I moved these aerial shots up front.

Gives a decent overview before you get into site-specific detail.

-Yeah, that's great.

-And I kept the cost breakdown where you wanted it.

Just stripped back some of the forward projections.

-Yeah, again, great.

-So... -Yep.

Oh.

I thought I'd mention, I've, um, put you in for a promotion.

-Wow.

Just like that?

-Yep.

Just like that.

-Thank you.

-Hey, way overdue.

You know, the last 12 months, I don't know what we'd have done without you.

-Well... -There'll be a formal process, but you can expect a wage and level upgrades.

-Okay.

Uh, well... thanks again.

-Tony?

-Yep?

-You've got your 11 o'clock with Water Policy Australia.

-Didn't I just meet with them?

-No, that was the Water Policy Council.

They just want to touch base.

And Eric from the Transport Advisory Group wants a quick word.

-Then who's advising who?

-I'll check.

And Rhonda wants two minutes of your time.

-Never two minutes.

What's it about?

-The Smart Cities conference.

-Yeah.

I'm not having anything to do with that.

-Even though you're speaking?

-I'm sorry?

-Yeah.

Tuesday, 12:30.

Tony Woodley.

They misspelt your name.

-I didn't agree to that.

-Really?

It says here, "I am greatly looking forward "to being part of this exciting event."

You know what, tell Rhonda to get someone from the department to speak for me, 'cause I just can't take my eye off the ball right now.

-Okay.

Do I still correct the spelling?

-Well, if I'm not gonna... Okay, yeah.

-So, Tony has confidentially mentioned to me the possibility of a promotion.

-Not sure he said "possibility".

-I've got your file here.

Let's get the ball rolling, hmm?

-Oh.

-Is something wrong?

-No, no.

Uh... when was your last performance review?

-I can't really remember.

-This file goes back over two years.

-Oh, you know, we're... -No review.

-We're just... we're always so busy.

-Don't blame yourself.

-I wasn't.

-These things have a habit of slipping under the radar.

-I guess in terms of performance reviews, Tony's sort of, you know... -Sort of what?

-Gives me feedback.

-In what way?

-Well, if I've done something well or not, he'll let me know.

-There's nothing on file.

-Oh, it's not.

I mean, he wouldn't write it down.

-So, no formal review process?

-Well, we speak all the time.

-But has he actually sat down and discussed career objectives?

Goal-setting?

Key performance objectives?

-In a way.

-Mm-hmm.

What way?

-Well, when I was offered that job in Canberra last year, he said how much he wanted me to stay.

-Informal.

-Yes, but he mentioned how valuable I was.

-There's no record of that here.

-Well, it was sort of over a drink.

-Oh, well.

We've got some back-filling to do.

Oh, what's the date today?

-The stuff that I want to get in the back in the appendix is all these pie chart comparisons.

This stuff can be sprinkled throughout.

Something like that needs to be in the comparison.

So, just take a note of this -- we want to do loaded miles, billed miles, empty miles, and if we can, I want to do revenue miles as well.

-Tony, I know you don't want to be disturbed, but two things.

Courtney said you needed these for your new couch.

-I'll put them on your desk.

-Put them on my desk, yep.

-And Rhonda wants a couple of minutes.

-Is this about the conference?

-It might be.

-Did you tell her I'm not speaking?

-Oh, for God's sake.

We're platinum sponsors, Tony.

Of course you're speaking.

-Sorry, guys, can you give us five?

-Make it 25.

-I thought you wanted two.

-We've got people flying in from all over the world.

This is a major global event.

-What's the theme again?

-Smart Cities.

New horizons in living infrastructure.

-What does that mean?

-Well, what does anything mean?

It's one speech.

That's all we're asking for.

You must have a million topics.

-All right, what about this?

The role of intermodal hubs.

-Oh, don't be ridiculous.

-What?

-Who wants to hear that?

-People at a Smart Cities conference?

-No, they don't.

They want to hear about the future.

The cutting edge.

The Zeitgeist.

-Which is?

-Did you catch Arianna Shafir on "ABC Breakfast" this morning?

-Who?

-They are building inflatable bike paths on some waterway in Turkey.

That's the sort of thing people want to hear about.

-All right, how about I discuss economic pitfalls and value cap... -Oh, if you're not gonna take it seriously... Come on, Tony.

I want an engaging topic by tomorrow.

And, Katie, I need a bio and a recent photo.

See if you can get a decent one.

-What happened?

-She kept it to two.

-So, this is very exciting, but we need to get it right before we can take the next steps.

-Sorry, when you say "steps"... -If you want to give this promotion your best shot.

-I thought Tony had pretty much approved it.

-Uh, I don't think Tony's quite on top of these things.

So, I'm going to give you... this.

-What is it?

-A self-evaluation form.

And this.

-Okay.

Um... There's a lot of pages here.

-Natalie, this is our chance to help you crash through that glass ceiling.

Let's seize it, hey?

-Okay.

-And... these.

-Knock knock.

-Yep?

-Have you had a chance to look at those swatches?

-Those what?

-For your new couch.

-Oh, yeah.

Uh, well, uh... that one.

-Okay, we done?

-Uh, as soon as you choose a design.

-Oh.

-You can choose any one.

-Oh, any one?

Okay.

How about that one?

-Mm-hmm.

Tony... -Uh-huh.

Uh... that one?

-Leather?

-What's wrong with leather?

Okay.

That one.

-For an office?

-Why wouldn't that... -It just doesn't... -I thought you said any one.

Okay, that one.

-The Bergstrom?

-Yes.

-High back or standard?

-Courtney... -You want me to handle it?

-Yeah.

-And cushions?

-Courtney... -I'll choose.

-Thanks.

Door.

-Mm-hmm.

-Okay, let's start with... mmm... section C.

"Strength, accomplishments, and performance milestones".

-Fire away.

-"What would you say are your greatest personal strengths?"

-Hmm.

Interesting.

-All right, let's try to think of one.

-One?

-That's above the others.

-Uh, what about ability to manage people?

-Strength?

-I guess.

-Well, I feel I'm reasonably good at prioritizing demands.

-Yeah.

-Reasonably.

-Meeting deadlines.

-You're way behind on the grade separation study.

-Not because of our department.

-Just playing devil's advocate.

-Well, can you stop?

-Mm-hmm.

-Keep going.

-Fine.

"How would you rank your ability to motivate and inspire others?"

-You're not bad.

-What do you mean, "not bad"?

-Well, not... bad.

-Then say good.

-What are the other options?

-Guys, do I manage well?

-Oh, you manage me well.

-Thank you.

-Yeah, me too.

-Thank you.

And the office in general?

-I'd say... you're not bad.

-Yeah, I mean, you get factions anywhere.

-Factions?

-Not factions.

-I reckon we keep going.

- Associate professor of integrated planning at Osaka University... - ...the future of Australian cities.

- The only way we will be sustainable... - ...greater understanding of urban design.

-Tony.

Check this out.

-What is it?

-Anders Ridstrom's TED Talk.

-Who?

-Anders, the urbanist.

-He's just arrived for Smart Cities.

-Seriously, where's Border Force when you need them?

-7 million views.

-Mm-hmm.

- ...biophilic designs and active street frontages, we can ensure that the urban metabolism is healthy and integrated.

-What?

-No, keep going.

-Yet, too often, governments are unwilling to facilitate dialogue between the synergies of purpose.

-Wow.

-Not one word of that made sense.

- The enclave becomes ghetto... -Katie, has Jim got back from Canberra yet?

-Landed half an hour ago.

He's on his way in.

-Great.

And...?

-He sounded excited.

-Excellent.

Scotty?

What's all this?

-Rhonda sent over the official Smart Cities program and speaker's pack.

-This looks good.

-Oh.

But it still says "Woodley."

-What is that photo of me?

-It's from your security pass.

-You couldn't have found one of me smiling?

-I don't think you're allowed to smile.

-That's for your passport.

-It might be too late to change.

-Whoa!

"Daring Visions for the Next Millennium"?

-Rhonda felt your speech needed a punchier title.

-I like it.

-Do you know what I'm talking about?

-No, but I can't wait to find out.

-Intermodals.

-Oh.

-Great.

All right.

I need all of this off the table, please.

Thank you.

Hey, Jim.

Thanks.

All of it gone.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Grab a seat.

How'd you go?

-All right, great!

-Oh, that's great.

-Can't even tell you how excited the minister is.

-Oh, that is such good news.

-Yeah.

There is so much in here.

Urban wildlife corridors.

Sustainable rooftops.

A breathing metropolis.

This feeds right into our cities policy.

-So does the intermodal policy.

-The what?

-The freight thing.

-Oh, the freight thing!

-You were gonna raise the latest proposal with the minister.

-Mmm, I did.

All still very positive, but... -But what?

-We didn't get bogged down in the details.

-There is no detail.

It's either a yes or a no.

-Guess I didn't have time to run through all the ins and outs.

-I gave you a video.

-Oh, that's what that is!

Oh, yeah.

-Did you raise any aspect of the proposal with the minister?

-First things first.

You know, there's a bloke in here who reckons we can accommodate homeless people inside biodegradable pods.

-Anders Ridstrom.

-That's him!

-Have you seen his TED Talk?

-There's a TED Talk?

-He's also creating artificial rooftop microclimates for rooftop honey production.

-Can you put that on there?

-Jim?

The intermodal.

-There's room for both.

-I reckon we focus on the intermodal now.

-Well, this feeds into it.

-No, it doesn't.

-They sit side by side.

-No, they don't.

-Well, one flows from the other.

-No, they're the opposite.

They go... They don't flow... -Can I speak with the minister?

-Mmm, he's pretty flat chat.

-He's got time to read about honey!

-All right.

I'll give him a bell.

-Well, gee.

I don't want to push, but the clock is ticking and we just need a yes or a no.

-Sure.

On?

-The freight thing.

-Oh, yeah.

Leave it with me.

Oh... yeah, I'll make a note.

Freight... thing.

-"How would you describe your leadership style?

A - Coercive.

B - Affiliative.

C - Democratic.

D - Pace-setting?"

-Hmm... I'd go with A.

-Coercive?

-Not in a bad way.

-How can it be good?

-All right, B.

-But you said A.

-I meant B.

-Affiliative?

You don't know what that means.

-You get the best out of people.

-Thank you.

-By pushing them... -I don't push.

-No, not push.

You're demanding.

-Demanding?

-No, you're... Keep going.

-"Which of the following statements best describes you?

"'I am good at helping others achieve their goals.'

"'I pride myself on a collaborative approach to decision making.'"

-What else?

-"'I believe in taking people with me, not just telling them what to do.'"

-What else?

-That's it.

-This is tough, isn't it?

-A what?

-A plenary session.

-I don't even know what that is.

-Well, if you hadn't been so distracted by all of this.

Can we just... Let's make some room.

-Whoa, whoa!

Those spreadsheets are in order!

-Day two, Smart Cities, plenary session.

It's like a panel discussion.

-And you want me to do that instead of the speech?

-On top of the speech, yes.

-I don't have time to spend all day at a conference... -Listen.

We are platinum sponsors and you are a thought-leader.

-A what?

-Look, Tony.

You're on with Lord Beaverbrook.

"Daring to Demolish Trends in Un-building a Better City."

-Kill me now.

-We will need a new photo for that.

So, can you organize a shoot?

-Let's not do a shoot.

And not with that Adam guy again.

Can't we get a photo off the file?

-Oh, I think we can do better.

Can we please have him smiling in the next one?

You look like you don't want to be there!

-First you make us platinum sponsors, then you write the title of my speech, and now you put me in a plenary session.

-Well done, Rhonda.

-We're on the verge of something really big.

I mean something that will truly shape this city.

-Are you banging on about that freight thing again?

-That's exactly what the NBA should be banging on about.

-Ohhh!

I'll come back.

-No, you stay, you go!

-Me?

-You stay.

-Me?

-You go.

-It took a little longer than, um... And I wasn't able to answer all the, um... Is everything okay?

-Hmm.

Seeing a red flag or two.

-How red?

-Definite non-collaborative tendencies.

Coercive managerial style.

-That doesn't sound good.

-You scored a 7 for interpersonal skills.

-Okay.

-Out of 20.

-Look, I really wasn't sure how to answer some of the questions.

-Professional development seems to have gone out the window.

Tony, Tony, Tony.

-What's wrong with Tony?

-Well, when was the last time you were sent to a conference, seminar, a workshop?

-I'm working 70 hours a week.

-Ah.

"Poor time management."

-What?

-Don't blame yourself.

-Can I just ask, is any of this coming from Tony?

-I can't divulge that.

But I have received a lot of valuable feedback from your colleagues.

-What?

-This is a 360-degree process.

And your peers have been more than happy to contribute.

Oh... -What?

-You'll always get factions.

-So what did people say?

-They're very supportive.

But... -But what?

-They have noticed recent signs of distraction, agitation, low-level anger.

-Because of this!

-Natalie, I want you to get this promotion.

Do not give up now.

-Did you speak with the minister?

-Yes.

-About the intermodals?

-The freight thing?

-Yes!

-And he's happy with the state of play?

-Seems so.

-And Cabinet will okay it under the Asset Recycling Program?

-Yeah, I didn't get that specific.

-That's not specific.

That's all we need to know.

-Well, then you need to be more specific.

-Oh, come on, Jim!

-Look, Tony!

I've got a few other things on my plate at the moment!

-All right, I'm sorry.

-I haven't just got this freight thing.

I've got a defense thing and a health thing, and someone mentioned an energy thing.

-But in terms of the intermodals... -You can raise it with the minister yourself.

-I can't fly to Canberra.

-No, he's coming down.

-When?

-Monday, for the conference.

-What I'm trying to do here, Natalie, is project forward to make sure that this potential new role is right for you.

-Well, I've more or less been doing it for a while now.

-Well, thank God we jumped on it now.

-Sorry?

-Have you been elevated beyond your core competencies?

-No.

-Could explain why we're seeing a few cracks.

-I think I'm pretty good at what I do.

-This is not your fault.

You haven't been given the benefit of regular feedback and assessment.

-Beverley, this whole thing came about because Tony said I should get a promotion.

-Should or could?

-Should.

-Nat, I want to see you advance, I think Tony does too, but it has to be in the right direction.

-Presumably up.

-Well, let's just wait till we complete the next step.

-Which is?

-Psychometric testing.

♪♪ -This is ridiculous.

I didn't want a photo shoot.

-Well, good news, though.

I got Adam.

-I said I didn't want Adam.

-Oh, sorry.

Must have just heard "Adam".

-Must have.

He'd better remember my name.

-Oh, g'day, chief!

-Adam!

-Hey, this should only take, like, five minutes, mate.

-Tony.

-Yeah.

Just jump in there, pal.

-Not gonna smile?

-Maybe if you left.

-What are you planning to wear for your talk?

-Something like this.

-You want to be out on that stage representing the NBA... like that?

-Like what?

-Smiling, champ.

-Tony.

-That's it, buddy.

-We're gonna need an open-neck shirt for a start, a sharper-cut suit, some proper shoes.

-I'm gonna look like some sort of hipster architect.

-Can you organize it?

Can I just...?

-Big smile, superstar.

-Yeah, that's it, Adam.

Tony.

-Sorry.

Tony?

-Yes?

Sorry.

Oh, sorry, Adam.

You remember Nat?

-Oh.

G'day, sweetheart.

-Um... have you got two minutes after you finish this... -Yeah.

I'll... jump on it now.

Sorry, I'll come back.

-Just a couple more, buddy.

-That's it.

-Sorry... You coming back, chief?

-Come on in.

Grab a seat.

-Where?

-Katie?

-It's coming tomorrow.

-I want you to be honest.

-Yeah, sure.

-Do you think I'm a right fit for this job?

-What?

-In terms of evaluating my critical strengths and weaknesses?

-What are you talking about?

-Do you think I am operating outside of my core competencies?

-Uh... what does that mean?

-Do I display coercive tendencies?

-Do you need to see a doctor?

-I'm not sure.

-What's this all about?

-My performance review.

-Your what?

-From Beverley?

-Oh, my God.

Have I let HR in the building again?

-So, do you mean none of this has been coming from you?

-Just stay there.

Stay right there.

-What are you gonna do?

-Maybe 10 to 15 for manslaughter.

-What exactly is your concern, Tony?

-Beverley, in the space of a week, you have taken an enthusiastic, confident, dedicated colleague and turned her into a nervous wreck who's thinking of leaving.

Why are you smiling?

-We see this so often with our type 3 judging extroverts.

-What?

-If you ask me, we've dodged a bullet.

-I didn't ask you.

-We've identified some latent weaknesses with Natalie whilst there's still a chance to do something about them.

-I wanted her promoted.

-And that almost happened.

-No, I want her promoted.

-Tony... -I want this thing sorted out within 24 hours.

-All right.

What's the date today?

-No, I mean, that's not really accounting for automation and, you know, the whole driverless... -Good news, Tony.

-The minister's here?

-No, but your couch is.

-Great.

Is this the Bergstrom?

-Mm-hmm.

-Where is it?

-It's stuck in the basement.

-What do you mean, stuck?

-It won't fit in the lift.

Brian says it's because you chose the high-back.

-Don't worry.

He's looking into it.

-Any word from the minister?

-Yes.

There's been an unexpected delay.

-Do we know why?

-Dessert.

-Sorry?

-He's having lunch with Anders.

-Sorry, who's Anders again?

-TED Talk.

Rooftop honey.

-Oh, spare me!

-You'll meet him at the conference.

Speaking of which... -Let's not.

-As a keynote speaker, you're... -When did I become a keynote speaker?

-When you agreed to the plenary session.

-I didn't agree to anything.

-You're entitled to attend the executive congress.

-No.

-Industry round table?

-No.

-Delegate breakout?

-No.

Katie?

-Affiliate expo... So I'll say no to the winery tour, then.

-Let's just get in, get out, and get back to work.

-Yep.

-Ah, here he is!

You've caused us a few headaches.

-I've what?

-With the high-back.

-Oh, you went with the high-back.

-She's a devil to maneuver.

Ah.

This is what I was worried about.

Too narrow.

-Look, can't you just, I don't know, take the sides off?

-Oh, I'd have to dismantle the bed.

-The what?

-Well, the Bergstrom comes with a fold-out bed.

Isn't that why you chose it?

-Yep.

I'll leave you... We'd better get... ♪♪ ♪♪ -No sign?

♪♪♪ -Just right this way.

-Thank you very much.

-Tony.

-Minister.

-How are you going?

-Great to see you again.

-Hey, Tony.

-Jim.

Ah.

Lovely to see you again.

Come on in, Rhonda.

-So sorry we're late.

-No, no, don't worry about it.

-Time got away from us.

-I know.

-And you really couldn't have joined us for lunch?

-No.

We're getting down to the wire with the whole National Integrated Freight Network... -Fascinating fella.

Real thought-leader.

-Absolutely.

-Yeah, really makes you think.

-If I could just run through... -You might know this, Tony.

But in Helsinki, they're building skyscrapers out of cardboard.

-I didn't know that.

Yeah.

-I did.

-Did you?

-It was in the TED Talk.

-Yeah, well, he is at the cutting edge.

-Is it cardboard or pressed wood?

-Actually, you might be right.

-Anyway, down to business.

-Great.

-Is that something we'd look at doing here?

-Tony?

-Uh, possibly.

-Couple of paragraphs?

-Sure.

-He could put it on one of these.

-If I can just mention the whole intermodal concept... -The...?

-The freight thing.

-Ah, yes.

How's it looking?

-It was cardboard.

-It was!

-Oh, it was?

Wow.

-Can I just run you through the basics?

Only take a couple of minutes.

-Yeah, fire away.

-Great.

Scotty?

So, intermodals can be thought of as, basically, logistics... And then we sort of come around all the way back to, sort of, logistics, which I think we can leave.

But so, in summary, we do some compulsory acquisition, not a lot, we do some dockside rezoning, and then do funds and financing through the Asset Recycling Scheme, in part, and I think we end up at a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to totally revamp commercial and freight transport nationwide.

-Right.

-I mean, that's just the potted summary, but since it's the last COAG of the year... -Whoa.

You want to take this to COAG?

-That's always been the plan.

-You're cutting it a little fine.

-No, no, we're set to go.

-You know the question we need to ask?

-"Yes or no"?

-Well, before we rush into this.

-Rush?

We're not... No.

What's that, Minister?

-Are we shaping the city... or letting the city shape us?

-That's it.

-Yep, that's the question.

-Ripper.

-What does that mean?

-It's just something Anders said.

-Oh.

-All right, as an example, take your little pet project here.

-You mean the... -The freight thing.

-Yep.

-So, on one level, it just seems to be some sort of transport hub.

-Not if you read the whole proposal.

-Hey, and there's the problem.

That's where our vision seems to stop short, okay?

Let's just press harder.

Where are the synergies of purpose?

-You really should have been at lunch.

-We should have gone.

-Where's the visual harmonics?

-I'm not seeing any.

-Tony, don't get me wrong.

I think we're close.

-No, it's finished.

We're ready.

-No, one more pass at it before we race off.

-We've been doing it for six months.

So, it's, you know, it's... I mean, Minister, this is time-critical.

I mean, we've got one opportunity to get agreement... to get approval across the states.

[ Banging ] I mean, on a federation... -Does he need a hand with that?

-Come on, Brian.

-Yeah, not... -I've got you, mate.

-Quickly, Scotty.

-Right here.

Bergstrom?

-High-back from hell.

-Ooh!

-Ooh, yeah.

-I must say, you've got quite the supporter in Tony.

-He wanted this done within a day.

And this is my recommendation.

-I'm being demoted?

-Course not.

-It looks like a demotion.

-It's a realignment.

-With less seniority and responsibility?

-Think of it as an opportunity, Natalie.

-How?

-More time at the coalface, feeling the floor, gaining a renewed understanding of what your roles and responsibilities might one day be.

-Tony wanted to promote me.

-It's lucky we stepped in.

What's the date today?

-Can the flow of traffic resemble the flow of blood in a healthy living organism?

The question we need to ask is... -I got your text.

What's wrong?

-Well, start with this!

-Courtney said you wanted to look like a hipster architect.

-No, I said I didn't want to look like one.

-Oh.

Good news... I found a photo of you smiling.

-Great.

-Good crowd.

Good energy.

-Is it merely a quiet street?

-All he does is ask questions.

-Yeah, good questions.

-Seriously, see, this is it.

These people... -Tony Woodley!

-Woodford.

-Nuh.

Woodley.

-No, that's a mistake.

-Shh-shh!

Yep, yep, yep.

Yep, I'll ask him.

Mate, just from upstairs.

We're running a little bit late.

So would it matter if we held you back till after lunch?

-Yeah, it does.

-No, he's arcing up.

-No, I'm not arcing up.

No.

-Yeah... Yep?

-No, it's just that I can't get back to the office after 1:30.

-Yeah, nah, he's not budging.

-What?

-What do you want to... Yeah.

Have his way?

Yeah, hey, listen, we'll hold everyone back till after your talk.

-I'm not "getting my way."

-Are we willing to see it?

Thank you very much.

-Look at this.

-Folks, folks.

Folks, folks, if you can just retake your seats.

Thank you.

If you can just retake your seats.

We're gonna hold lunch back just a tad so we can stick to the program.

I know you're hungry and I know it's been a long morning, but hopefully, he'll be very quick.

Ladies and gentlemen, to finish off an amazing morning of talks, from the National Building Group, ladies and gentlemen, CEO Tony Woodley!

-Woodford!

[ Applause ] But it has an eye on the future.

As logistics becomes more automated and even autonomous, it's possible that artificial intelligence... -Delegates, just a reminder that the early bus for the winery tour will be leaving in 15 minutes.

-It's possible that... -That's 15 minutes.

-Yep, okay.

-You wanted one smiling.

-Yeah, but I was in a sombrero.

At a Christmas party.

-But you were smiling.

And your speech went really well.

-Half the audience left.

-Everyone was so hungry.

-And I would have opened with the graph.

You know what?

It's over.

No more Smart Cities.

No more... Scandinavian urbanists.

I don't want to be disturbed for the rest of the day.

-Mm-hmm.

-Oh.

-I'll get Brian.

♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ -And I was wondering if that's something we should consider before embarking on new projects.

-Hmm, an interesting question about Australia's infrastructure priorities.

And I guess the obvious person to answer that is right here.

-Professor Sumi Okihiro.

-Thank you.

That's a fantastic question, and one that we've given a lot of consideration to.

-Katie?

- Yes, Tony?

-There's a crane with a couch blocking the street.

- Courtney said you neve wanted to see that couch again.

-Yep.

Actually, I did say that.

- Mm-hmm.

-Okay.

- Okay.

See you soon.
