1
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: Just waiting for our Prime Minister Harrison to come onto

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: the line. Obviously very busy at the moment. We spoke

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: about this as well, where he went to the sharkis game.

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: I thought that was fine. Absolutely nothing wrong with being human.

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: You've seen play and have a cup of farms. Nothing

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: wrong with that.

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: Also, give the guy a day off.

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: Comments were ridiculous, joins us.

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Now, Prime Minister, welcome to the show, buddy.

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 4: Hey guys, there you going.

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 3: Prime Minister good just celebrating the fact that you did

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: have a chance to get out and tip beer in

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: the other weekend.

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we're down there and everyone was doing the

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 4: right thing. It was a shocking Well.

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: That's the thing, the Prime Minister. This is what I

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: want to bring up, and I'm sorry to do this,

18
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: but what is your win loss ratio when you've gone

19
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: to watch the Sharks wind? We need to focus on this.

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: How many wins have you had and how many losses

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: have you had?

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 4: I think it'll probably even out because I pretty much

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: get to every home game. I can't. Yeah, the Sharks

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 4: have a reasonable have record, so it pretty much matched

25
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: the Harbor record ratingrec Right.

26
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 3: Minister, Breakfast radio is tough I came in late this morning.

27
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: I've been up late at night. I want to get

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: an idea of your general day. What time are you

29
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: up and what time do you finish?

30
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: Well, Look, it changes every day depending what's going on.

31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: It's an early day to day. And we'll go with

32
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: well end of this evening as you do on most days,

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: because particularly we're talking to people overseas and there are

34
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 4: meetings that were holding all around the country. I mean,

35
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 4: I often talk to other leaders in the evening, other

36
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: premiers when their days are sort of run. There's an

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: opportunity to speak there. But the thing is that never

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 4: really stops. I mean, because your messaging is running all

39
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: the time these days, you spend a lot more time

40
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: communicating with each other that way, and that never stops.

41
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: Working with your teams because there's just so many decisions

42
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: to be made. I mean, the job is about making decisions,

43
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: getting the right information as many people as you can

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: to make sure you get them right. And then the

45
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: time and time are you get to have a chat

46
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: with you guys.

47
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: Do you find it hard though, when the headlines are

48
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: occupied with rubbish like outrage that you've taken time off

49
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: to go to the footage. I mean, honestly, when are

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: you supposed to take a breath. The rest of us

51
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: get a weekend you don't. Does that do you find

52
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: it really frustrating?

53
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: Well, it just goes with the territory. You try not

54
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: to worry about it the gig, to be honest, you

55
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: just ignore the you know what I call the noise

56
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: on those sorts of things, and you focus on the

57
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: job you've got. I mean, the key for anyone who's

58
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: trying to do a good job is you've got to

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: not be distracted by things that take you away from

60
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: what your core mission is. And right now, for me,

61
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: I mean it's fairly obvious. It's about getting us through

62
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: this pandemic and getting people back into jobs. And yesterday,

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 4: well I know it's still very tough out there. Two

64
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: hundred and ten thousand jobs were created in June came

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: back into the economy in June. That's the biggest number

66
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: we've ever had in any one month. And half of

67
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 4: those jobs we're going to young people who were most

68
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 4: impacted when coronavirus hit. So that was encouraging, and we

69
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: had a long way to go yet, I'm saying that

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: you know that's done and the impact of things in

71
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: Victoria will be serious too. But it shows that, you know,

72
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: as we open up and we all do the right thing,

73
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: and everyone's been trying to do the right thing, and

74
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 4: when we do that, we do make progress. And seeing

75
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: people come in to get their jobs back in June

76
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 4: was a great thing to see. But it's still it's

77
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: still a big task ahead.

78
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: We watched the AFL last night Scott Morrison and Hertz

79
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Opta Stadium was half fall. Now it was Collingwood versus Geelong.

80
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: It was two Melbourne teams. It was amazing to watch.

81
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: It was great to hear the crowd back for real

82
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: this time. Now, WA have been criticized for closing their

83
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: borders not letting anybody in. Now I can understand that.

84
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: Now we look at this, this argument that we need

85
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: to talk about Prime Minister of States just looking after themselves.

86
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: How important it is is it to open up Sydney

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: and Melbourne, because look, I feel like we got to

88
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: an active case rate where we were down near zero

89
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: in New South Wales and we're excited. Do we then

90
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: shut off the borders and we look after ourselves here?

91
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Because when I look at WA and at Queensland's the

92
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: other South Australia as well. Everybody's back to work now

93
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: and everything's going smooth over there and they've shut the borders.

94
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Should we be doing this for every state Scott.

95
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: Well, no, I mean we're one country and we deal

96
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: with this together. We've isolated Victoria for good reasons and

97
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: that was a decision taken by Premier Andrews along with

98
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 4: Premier Berry, Jacklin and I we got together and decided

99
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: that was the most important thing to do at that point.

100
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 4: The risk in other states territories is that they can

101
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 4: become complacent. Now we've got to remember what happened in Victoria.

102
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: It was a breach of quarantine. That could happen in

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 4: Western Australia. It could happen in Brisbane. I mean they

104
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 4: have cases twending pretty much at zero for community transmission.

105
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: But so did New South Wales and Victoria. So if

106
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: those states become complacent with their social distancing, if there's

107
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: a breakout and quarantine in those states, they'll find themselves

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: in the Victorian situation quite quickly. And so it's very

109
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: important that we don't take at tension out of the court.

110
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: Hiding behind borders won't give you the defenses if you

111
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: get the breaches of quarantine that have occurred in Victoria.

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: And so I'm constantly reminding every one of that. And

113
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: I think it's great that people got out to go

114
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: and watch their beloved game in Perth, but they've got

115
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: to be practicing the social distancing. Where I was the

116
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: other day, there was one seat in front of me,

117
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 4: one seat on either side of me, and I thought

118
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: the NRL was managing that very well. And I would

119
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: hope that anyone going to sporting events is ensuring that

120
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: they're doing that. Now in Victoria there is a recommendation

121
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: to wear masks. Doesn't that's not in South Wales and

122
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 4: so I wouldn't expect that. But we've got to practice

123
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: that social distancing, getting the tracing right and doing all

124
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: the things and stay in the hat of doing it.

125
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: Otherwise we're vulnerable. There's no vaccine yet, so we can't

126
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: be complacent. Whatever border we said from Minister.

127
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: When you look at the Victorian situation, right, three hundred

128
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: cases out of Melbourne yesterday and Daniel Andrews there is

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 3: on the front page of the Daily Telly this morning.

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 3: The headlines read Bungo Hotel quarantine, allows virus to spread,

131
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: refuses to take calls, will not take any blame. What

132
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: are the conversations like with Premier Andrews? Is he playing

133
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 3: a team game here?

134
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

135
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 4: Well I'm working close with him to give him every

136
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 4: support he needs. You know, he's under the pump at

137
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 4: the moment and what he needs from me his resources,

138
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 4: support and everything I can direct towards him to help

139
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: him solve the problem.

140
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: It's a mess.

141
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: And glad as Peragicallyan's doing the same thing. She's supporting Victoria,

142
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: whether it's at the border in helping there with tracing

143
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: capabilities to help their effort down there. But so South Australia,

144
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: those tazzy those Coinsland, they're too conducting tests for them.

145
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: It's a big national effort to help there. What what

146
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: do he needs from me is help?

147
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: That's what need Yeah, that's desperately Well, Prime Minister, you've

148
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: had job Keeper job Seeker. I really love job Maker

149
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: because we do we need to get some jobs back

150
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: and I love how you are spending money in that

151
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: sense and jobs will be coming up because from a

152
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: majority of our listeners that we get on this show, Scott,

153
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: it's all about getting back into work and there's a

154
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of people that are freaking out there as families

155
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: that they don't have work.

156
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 4: Well, that's true. Yesterday we announced a package with all

157
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: the states and territories for some three hundred and forty

158
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: thousand training places this year. That's on top of what's

159
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: already out there, and that's the support everybody you know

160
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: who may have lost their job sadly and may have

161
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: to train an upskill or reskill to go into a

162
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: different industry. There could be people in their thirties their

163
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: fifties and that supports there for them, but it's also

164
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: for young people. We put in one and a half

165
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: billion to support one hundred and eighty thousand apprenticeships over

166
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: the six months running out for the end of March.

167
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: We're already supporting eighty thousand apprenticeships right now with the

168
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: substance we're putting in there, so we're very conscious of

169
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: the need to create these jobs. Later the day, I'll

170
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: be making announcement that we're going to provide longer term

171
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: support to get more big productions into Australia. Screen production

172
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: that creates that will create eight thousand jobs. That's an

173
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: area where we've seen a lot of growth and we've

174
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: got a great advantage. So I'm in the job making

175
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: business and we're going to keep trying to create as

176
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: many jobs as we can. And it's tough, but we're

177
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: in the hunt. We're in the fight now and we're

178
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: going to win it good.
