1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: It fits in with us.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: Well, the Prime Minister has announced something massive to get

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: everyone flying again. It's the flight path to recovery, and

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: he thought he'd give us a call this morning. Love

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: to have him on the show. Scott Morrison, welcome, welcome boy.

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 3: This is a really exciting opportunity. Please make the big

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 3: announcement for.

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: US eight hundred thousand tickets half price destinations all across

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: the country to get planes in the air, tourists on

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: the ground, which means people stay in their jobs. So

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: we'pp you've got to take your mom on or holiday.

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: Mate, tellin me, Well, you know what surprised me and

13
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: I had no idea Prime Minister that Australia in twenty

14
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: nineteen spent sixty eight billion dollars on overseas travel. If

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: we can pump that into the country ourselves, that is.

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: A huge win, that's right. I mean, at the end

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: of the day, we spend more on Australians going overseas

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: than actually international tourists coming to Australia. So we've got

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: a real opportunity at the moment. But the domestic tourism

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 1: industry now that's worth one hundred billion dollars a year,

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: and so that's what we'll get people through. What the

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: tourism industry needs is tourists, and by getting these planes

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: in the air, keeping them in the air and getting

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: those tourists up there, that's the best way to help

25
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: these regions that have been so significantly impacted by COVID

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: nineteen and where the COVID recovery is well underway and

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: the economy is coming back strongly, better than almost any

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: other country in the world today, as just like our

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: health situation, there's better than almost any other country in

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: the world. So we're leading the world in all of this.

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: But there are still those sectors that are hurting hard

32
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: in the aviation secture, in the airline industry, travel agents,

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: in the tour operas, and the tourism industry. And so

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: today taxpayers again we've been generous over this past year

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: one point two billion dollars more to go and support

36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: those sectors and keep people in their jobs. We've done

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: really well to keep people in their jobs. Business has

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: done a great job to do that. Of course that

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: government's done its bit. But now Australians can help by

40
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: taking their family on a holiday out of these school holidays,

41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: getting on a plane and going to these many destinations,

42
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: whether it's down in Northern Tazzi or up in Queensland,

43
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: or over in Kangaroo Island, or Broom or down a

44
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: marine below or any of these places. This is about

45
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: the jobs in those areas and their livelihoods.

46
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: So we jump onto the commodore sixty four. When do

47
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: we do this? Like, when do we start? When can

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: we sit down and booking these flights? Prime Minister?

49
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, over the next the next few days and weeks.

50
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: The airlines are now going to work with the travel

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: industry and they'll package all this up and you'll have

52
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: no doubt you'll see it in the papers, You'll see

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: it online, you'll see the ad I'll be I'm sure

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: even advertising it on your program.

55
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: I hope yes.

56
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: And people can can jump on those and get on

57
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: them and then get out there and have a great

58
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: time in Australia, Prime Minister.

59
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: Some of the areas the Gold Coast Cans with Sundays

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: and Ki Region. It would have been fantastic because we

61
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: saw those photos of you in your Budge smugglers the

62
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: other day. If you'd donned them and maybe gone up to.

63
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Candle sure, well, much more attractive.

64
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: On away, Prime Minister.

65
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: I wanted you doing a bungee jump in the speedos

66
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 3: for this announcement. The only thing missing.

67
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: That would have been that would have a huge Jenny's

68
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: bungee job. She's that once before. She's the brave one

69
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: of the tour of it.

70
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: What is the most extreme thing you've done?

71
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh? Have you done a jet walking Kakoda?

72
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yeah, that's a big one.

73
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: Amazing. That is bellevable experience, Prime Minister as well. And

74
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: I know off topic a little bit. This is an

75
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: amazing initiative, Thank you very much. But I mean there

76
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: has been a lot of talk. Did you get to

77
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: sit down with Jenny and watch the Harry and Megan interview.

78
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: The other night?

79
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: It was quite explosive.

80
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: I did, and he had it on before me. She

81
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: we had dinner and then she ducked off to start

82
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: watching and I had a few other things to do

83
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: and I watched it with her. We met, We met

84
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: them both obviously when they came out to Australia. Of lovely,

85
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: very very very nice, and they met the girls and

86
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: they were just very kind and they had a great

87
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: time when they were in Australia, and it was great

88
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: to host them.

89
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Did you spot anything though, because they reckoned the tour

90
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: to Australia was a real turning point for them. Did

91
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: you sense anything wasn't right?

92
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: No?

93
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: I just found them both doing the best they possibly

94
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: could to the supportive of Australia. And I saw them

95
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: both working together as a team and as you'd expect,

96
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, roles in those situations to do. And they're

97
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: very committed to the work they were doing, and they're

98
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: very passionate about being there. That mean, and I think

99
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: at that time that I also been in Toyler and

100
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: a few other places. And you know, I remember when

101
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: Jenny and I met the Queen a little later, we

102
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: commented just you know, just how wonderful that being on

103
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: the visit to Australia, and how much we appreciated it,

104
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: and and how how you know, we look forward hopefully

105
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: to seeing capin wills out at some point. Harry.

106
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: Harry's old man is not answering these calls though, Prime Minister.

107
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: I mean, has that happened to you over the years?

108
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: Is your dad been a bit embarrassed to answer your calls?

109
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: No? Well, I had a wonderful relationship with my father

110
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: as you know, I lost him just over a year ago,

111
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: and that you're going to feel for people in these situations.

112
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: It's you know, they're having some family troubles. Family truble happens.

113
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: We all have them from time to time, and I

114
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: just hope you know, just like anyone going listening today,

115
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: if you're having those things. Keeping people together during COVID, guys,

116
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: has been one of the most important things. There have

117
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: been a million acts of kindness and togetherness to the

118
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: strains have shown through the course of COVID nineteen. People

119
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: have been encouraged, supportive, and that's what's got us through,

120
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: and that's what's going to keep getting us through. We

121
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: are literally leading the world in how we're coming out

122
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: of COVID, both economically and the health vaccinations rolling out.

123
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: We're getting that done and we'll get that done by October.

124
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: In October, and that means that the world's going to

125
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: look very different in twenty twenty one, and I'm looking

126
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: forward to that.

127
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: And you also said off there should be an easy

128
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: win for the Sharkis against the Dragons round one this weekend.

129
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to be cocky or complacent about that.

130
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: We don't have a great form on the first round,

131
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: particularly in recent years, but for some time now, and

132
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: it's it's a local derby. You can never take it

133
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: for granted. But I'm hoping well if you don't, if

134
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: your Chip Kicks is coming in off number seventeen, first

135
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: time for a while, so I'm looking forward to the

136
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: game very right.

137
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: If you don't be the Dragons, you're in big trouble.

138
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: Promens I think.

139
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: That true too, Thank you mister Bank, you boys very much.

140
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: It's in
