1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Fits in with us.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Well, we're lucky to get her in. She's only ducked

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: in because I'm not joking. She was just on the

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 2: phone outside the studio with another premiere from another stage.

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Is that right? It's our premier, gladys By.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 3: Well do you always come into over to make important

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 3: phone calls?

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 4: Well, you guys keep me waiting, So I.

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 3: I thought we should never keep you waiting.

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 4: I thought I may well get some work done.

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: So can you tell us who you're on the phone too?

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 4: I was actually on the phone to the Victorian premier, oh.

13
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: Dan Andrew, So he just rang you, then him I

14
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: rang him quick buzz, quick bus and.

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 4: We get on really well.

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: Talk us through the chat.

17
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 4: Oh look, we just catch up now and then. But

18
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 4: obviously interesting to talk about the borders and what might happen.

19
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: How are we looking?

20
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 4: Look, we're not looking too badly. So he's obviously allowing

21
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 4: Melbournians to move throughout Victoria. I think it's never break

22
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 4: the night.

23
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: So they at the moment they can't even go twenty

24
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: five k's, isn't it.

25
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, at the moment they don't have that. And that's

26
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: okay because obviously because they've been in lockdown. So what

27
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: what the premier down there is thinking is doing it

28
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 4: incrementally so that the system can cope and they can

29
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: deal with which is fair enough. And so we just

30
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 4: had a chat about that and what what New South

31
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: Wales might do in response.

32
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: So much to talk about.

33
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: I mean, if we go back to the basics of

34
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 3: the headlines that dominated our press, have you spoken to

35
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: you mum and dad about it? Because I just like

36
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: to say off the record, everyone's dated a doozy, but

37
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: the hardest conversations sometimes with your own family. Mum and dad.

38
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: My family's been really good and we haven't discussed it

39
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 4: in depth of d It was just all they said

40
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: is that they love me and support me.

41
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: And are they a family that you would have had

42
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 3: those conversations with over the years about relationships and things.

43
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Your family?

44
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: Some families are quite private. We're just a private not

45
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: that not that they wouldn't want me to, but.

46
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: I just, of course, how many relationships did you talk

47
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: about with your mum and all of them just a

48
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: different parenting styles.

49
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 4: No, just it's just different how you are too. But

50
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: it's also funny because my parents stepped in and said, no,

51
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: I don't like you're dating him. That's an ass Your

52
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 4: parents might be sad they've missed that opportunity. I don't

53
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 4: think can we change such a person.

54
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: Just quickly before we get onto borders in that as well.

55
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: You are wearing red today, so obviously supporting someone over

56
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: in the US.

57
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: No. I just like this jacket. It's a new jacket

58
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 4: and I really like it.

59
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Have you had any idea of the US election? What

60
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: are your thoughts today?

61
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: Look, I'm not as close to it as many other

62
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: commentators are, but last time I did call it for Trump.

63
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: I think he gained momentum in the last week. This time,

64
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 4: I don't think he's gained the same momentum. But I

65
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: don't feel people are going to feel sufficiently excited enough

66
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: about Biden for him. But you know comments, Okay.

67
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: So just back onto the Victorian boarder. You were saying

68
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: you just had a chat with Dan Andrews. You get

69
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: along with him very well. You've got a press conference

70
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: today in around about four five minutes time.

71
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: Is it good news? Gladys?

72
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah? Look, we go through I get up detailed updated

73
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: health advice daily, but on Wednesdays I get a particular

74
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 4: detailed one. So we'll go through everything, look at where

75
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: the situation is, and then I'll make the final decision

76
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: at the end of that meeting.

77
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: Right, okay, So mate, this month this.

78
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 4: I said yesterday or the day before that. It's likely

79
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: to be weeks, not months. So it's potentially this month.

80
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: Possibly before the Queensland borders.

81
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, which feels crazy.

82
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: Let's talk Queensland then, And I know you don't like

83
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: talking about Anastasia Palache, but we need to talk about this.

84
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: How I mean she's now pushed it back and said

85
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: Greater Sydney cannot go into Queensland Regional New South Wales.

86
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: Now she is she assessing this every month the start

87
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: of every month, so we don't get another How can

88
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: you assess it every month?

89
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: I don't think she. I don't with orderr respect. They

90
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: keep changing the goalposting queens right. They just don't want

91
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: to do it. It's easier for them not to worry

92
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: about it. It's less of a hassle because it's defies

93
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: Lotty because at the moment, all of us here who

94
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: live in Sydney can go to a region on New

95
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: South Wales, right, we can't go to Queensland. But then

96
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: we're in contact with people from we then go to Queensland.

97
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: Make sense?

98
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: How are you getting on with her?

99
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: Oh? Sam? As always?

100
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: When's the last time you contacted her? Look?

101
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: I did contact a Sunday night to congratulate her on

102
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: her win and that I like to get on with

103
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 4: everybody to.

104
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Did you text her? Can I have a look at it?

105
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Can you tell us what? Look?

106
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: Look, I've made it public and I don't think she'd

107
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: mind miss saying this. I just congratulated her and said,

108
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: especially during a pandemic, you know, congratulations on your win

109
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: and like love to talk borders with you. Oh was

110
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 4: she happy? Did she write back? I haven't heard back yet,

111
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: no reply, No, but our blues will reply tonight. When

112
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: we went the word wow, But it's happening in Adelaide's

113
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: Unfortunately I can't be there for the game. But I

114
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: said to Fred and the boys today, more than ever,

115
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: you need to whip those queens.

116
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, go to Adelaide. You know that.

117
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, but I've got stuff to do. The

118
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: job's never done in your South Wales.

119
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: That's disappointing.

120
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 4: What issge?

121
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: There's a bigger picture here.

122
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: Look, disappointment.

123
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: It's called Australia and we've gone through a stinker of

124
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: a year and.

125
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: We're all we're all trying to get somewhere right. Yeah,

126
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: do you want to ask? Can I send her for

127
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: your message?

128
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: And if she's given you the wrong number? I mean

129
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: that's true. Isn't glad that pos changed the number?

130
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: Excuse the ignorance. I saw a headline last night. I

131
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: didn't go into detail on the article. It was a

132
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: report that there was going to be funding cuts for

133
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: teachers and healthcare workers from two point five to one

134
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: point five. What's all that about?

135
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: That's not the case. So what happens is until this year,

136
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: before COVID and before the bush fires and before draught,

137
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: our wages policy said every year, no questions asked, everyone

138
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: who worked for state government got a two and a

139
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 4: half percent pay rise. But now we're saying that a

140
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: lot of we are out of jobs, a lot of

141
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: people are taking pay cards. So instead of two and

142
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: a half percent pay rise, everyone gets a one and

143
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: a half percent pay rise. So inflation at the moment

144
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 4: is nearly zilch and interest rates is nearly zero. So

145
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: we think, we know that we'd love to give people

146
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: a bigger pay rise, But a lot of people are

147
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: going to be out of jobs if we don't work

148
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: hard enough to put that extra money into jobs, right money. Yeah,

149
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: So essentially it means instead of getting an automatic pay

150
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: rise of two and a half percent next year or

151
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: the year after trying to get the majority so they

152
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: still got correct because then what happens is with the

153
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: extra money that we save there, we can put into

154
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: ninety percent of the people who don't work for the government,

155
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 4: because about ninety ten percent of New South Wales employees

156
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 4: are actual in New Southwest government employees and ninety percent aren't.

157
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: But as we all know from friends and family, a

158
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: lot of people have either lost jobs or had wages

159
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 4: cart or taken back less hours. So our job, especially

160
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: before job keeper ends in March next year, is to

161
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: keep people in jobs and create jobs. And that is

162
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 4: our complete obsession in New South Wales at the moment,

163
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: because our tourism sector has been smashed because no international travelers.

164
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: Hospitality has taken a hit. The airline. I mean, I

165
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: was with the Sydney Airport CEO the other day and

166
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: he was telling me they've I got about twenty percent

167
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: staff on you know, they've kept fifty percent, but then

168
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: the number of people actually working in their jobs is

169
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: very low. So yes, I know it's difficult and people

170
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: want us to keep giving the same pay rise every year,

171
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: but I think people understand under the circumstances that all

172
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: of us have.

173
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: To kind of a that on that tourism thing.

174
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: Right.

175
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: You've got Australians spending sixty eight million dollars on overseas

176
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: holidays every year. Right, and this is another thing that

177
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: does my head in about the borders, especially Queensland, and

178
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: we've got a chance to have that investment.

179
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: What do you think?

180
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: What do you Think's been my argument too? And I've

181
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: just said for months w and Queensland had no reason

182
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: to shut themselves off from New South Wales. We were

183
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 4: out touch wood. Our health system has proved to be resilient,

184
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: our police force have done an amazing job service New

185
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: South Wales has done great keeping the public in touch

186
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: with everything going on. So there's just no reason to

187
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: do that. New Zealand has now come into New South

188
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: Wales without quarantine because we treat them like another state

189
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: of well, they are another state of Australia where their

190
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: community trans missions very low. And why shouldn't we try

191
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: and kind of increase that. Now the difficult thing with

192
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: New Zealand is our people have to do quarantine if

193
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: they go the other way. But I think in due

194
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: course when the Prime Minister a turn sees how well

195
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: it's going, she'll say, okay, we'll work New South Wales

196
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: people in.

197
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: Does Christmas make you nervous?

198
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Ah?

199
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: Yes, anytime there's increased social gathering, of course it does,

200
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: because that's when the virus spreads. And if you look

201
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: at the places where it's spread, where people have had

202
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: social gatherings or they've been out eating. And again, can

203
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: I just stress to everybody if you walk into a

204
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: restaurant or a pub or a hotel and they haven't

205
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 4: got QR codes, you shouldn't really go in there. It's safe.

206
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 4: It's not safe. And there's no reason why. I was

207
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: up in northern New South Wales earlier in the week

208
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: in little cafes, beautiful thing at the back of nowhere,

209
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: and they all had QR code. Sure, business like that

210
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: in the bush can take five minutes to download a KYRCO.

211
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: There's no reason a business in Greater Signia should not

212
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: be able to spend two minutes downloading. It's free from

213
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: the service New Southwell Center.

214
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Glad us.

215
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 3: Now that you are the most famous single person in

216
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: the stuff.

217
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,160

Speaker 1: time Australia.

00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: an agent to turn down all those offices.
