You haven't had the shot yet, have you? 14 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: No, I'm waiting. Think that's just the Nicko vaccine, So 15 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: as soon as that arrives, I'll have that because that's 16 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: the one most people with stuff wars will beginning. Yes, 17 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: that's because we can actually manufacture that in Australia, so that's. 18 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 3: The local one. 19 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: Correct. The Fizor vaccine is available and we're make sure 20 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: all of our hotel workers, quarantine workers, all of us 21 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: not much health staff are exposed or all those sometline 22 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: stuff across the data. In the process of getting that. 23 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: In the first three days, more than a half thousand 24 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: people had it already. Yeah, which is great. So by 25 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: the end of three weeks we'll be at least thirty 26 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: five thousand people across you so well who have the vaccine. 27 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: But Guestnika one should be here much the government telling 28 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: it in I'll beginning that one gladays. 29 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: Can you tell us because we don't really know too 30 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: much because we started our vaccination roll out late here 31 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: in Australia and in New South Wales. How has it 32 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: been going overseas? I know America that they're already vaccinated 33 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: twenty five percent of the population. 34 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: Is it? 35 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: Is it bringing numbers down? Are the UK going well? 36 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: Do you know the numbers? 37 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: Well, they are starting to see some portant changes in trends, 38 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: so they are starting to see reduced rate of transmission. 39 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: They're seeing reduced mortality. And even though the numbers in 40 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: the US and UK and Europe is still very scary 41 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: because they've still got you know that the disease are 42 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: so rampant and has been so rampy, but they're still 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: going to have a number of cases or a number 44 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: of deaths for a while because somethings have come to 45 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: it months after that they get it, so that will 46 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: can you but the positive signs of the vaccine are 47 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: really good around around the world. They are seeing reduction 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: as I see less people transferring it to others, less 49 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: people living up in ICU as a result, And we 50 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: have to be aware of that too, because getting the 51 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: vaccine does protect you. You might still get the virus, 52 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: but you're very very unlikely to go to an intensive 53 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: key okay, far less likely to give it to others. 54 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: And for me personally, it's not so much about me. 55 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to give it to anybody else. Glad 56 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: you know my loved ones that I think about. 57 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: Of course, can we talk about the wedding restrictions. You've 58 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: got three hundred guests right, which to me is an 59 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 3: expensive wedding. Good luck everyone, many people. What concerns me 60 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: is the thirty people on the dance floor. I mean, 61 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: if you're single at a wedding, that makes it hard 62 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: to pick up. And what's your advice on how you 63 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: structure that? Is it tables one and two up. 64 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: First, or they don't have to do the same thirty 65 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: the whole night. No, so long as they're thirty and 66 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: you know what I think, room and we'll have all 67 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: that covered because a lot of people spend a lot 68 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: of time. All we'll have it all covered. The good 69 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: news is that we are trying to get back to 70 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: what we call COVID normal. We're going to have to 71 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: live with COVID for a few more years, we don't 72 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: know how long before the disease kind of sides away. 73 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, the vaccine will help us. The 74 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: rules we have in place will help us. But in 75 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: New South Wales we're pushing the boundaries to say, to 76 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: see what will be a healthy way of living, a 77 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: normal way of living whilst virus is still in the 78 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: community or still amongst us. So we know. Yeah. Sorry, 79 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: what about ANZAC Day? 80 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: Any any thoughts on bringing the parade back? I mean 81 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: we're really on top of it. 82 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: It's such a day of national pride. Oh in the 83 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: South Wales we've already given it the Grand Light. 84 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: Oh great. 85 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, So we can have up to three hundred three 86 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: thousand people see shit at an Antact Day event, or 87 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: you can have and CRSL and a health express speaking. 88 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: I think at this day the march is going to 89 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: include five hundred people. But look, it will definitely be 90 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: happening and our the hour still and our health experts 91 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: is speaking about what is the COVID safe way of 92 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 1: doing it, And of course a lot of our veterans 93 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: are part of the most vulnerable. Older people of course 94 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: fortunately don't deal as well with the virus as the 95 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: younger people. And look, the risk is reducing. I've been 96 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: in this three weeks. Once everybody in our quarantine system 97 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: gets the vaccine, once our fotline health work is across 98 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: the state, including regional communities, we're testing people every day 99 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: get the vaccine. That does reduce the risk a little bit. 100 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: So every week we're making progress, and that's why when 101 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: there's an event in April, we'll start talking about it. 102 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: We love putting rules in place, but it might even 103 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: improve as time goes on in terms of what's allowed. 104 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: What about the sewerage in Auburn. Did anything come out 105 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: of that, because you always freak out when we read 106 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: a story that it's been detected in the sewerage that 107 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: was quite a few days ago. Nothing's come out of there. 108 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: Yes, not yet. We do encourage people to get tested 109 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: in and around those communities where we detected, but the 110 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: health expens also say to me that unfortunately it can 111 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: stain your system quite a long time. But even though 112 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: you're not infentious, you've had the virus, you've done your isolation, 113 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: you're no longer infectious, you don't have any symptoms, you're 114 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: not feeling unwell, you could still be having those antibodies 115 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: or those things inside your body. So even though that 116 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: detection is good because it tells us where the virus 117 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: might still be active, but in some cases it could 118 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: reflect older infections. And that community in Southwest Sydney did 119 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: have some infections we know a weeks ago. But that's 120 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: why when say to everybody get tested, it's just an 121 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: extra measure of insurance for us. Say, look, we've found it, 122 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: go get tested, make sure that it's not lurking in 123 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: the community. And we haven't found it. And today it's 124 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: been good. So people have come forward in the last 125 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: few days. Our tistic rates have gone back up, which 126 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: is fantastic, sixteen seventeen thousand a day, which is wonderful 127 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: given we don't have any cases yet. 128 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah, but let's talk about your favorite topic. Let's 129 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: talk about Queensland, the parishap government, let's talk about the 130 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: inside world. 131 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: There. 132 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: I am over it. The topic is big. 133 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: They must sit around. What can we do to get aheadline. 134 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I know, I know. 135 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 2: They're not going to talk about the two of you 136 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: to pay their debts, don't they know? 137 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: Well, the point I want to make. Have you got 138 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: any inside word on whether they've got the Olympics for 139 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: twenty thirty two? Yesterday? Yesterday there was it was the 140 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: non stop topic of whether it was happening, and we're 141 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 3: waiting on the announcement. Here we go. It's going to 142 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 3: know because she's one of the leaders of our country 143 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 3: and on an international level, she's got more contacts than 144 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 3: we do. So what are you reckon? 145 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: Glad Well on this point, God, I'm going to let 146 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: it down. And so I don't think about it. Well, 147 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: you know what if it could happen for Australia, we have. 148 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: Not interested. 149 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: I was interested. I just think there's a lot going 150 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: on at the moment. 151 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 3: I hear you, made, I hear you. 152 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm with you.
