1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: John the may are very good morning to you. 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 2: Good morning. 3 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Now what's going wrong though? Is this a big promise 4 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: count deliver? Because they kind of deal with the Greens, 5 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: they couldn't get it through the Senate so it was 6 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: a numbers problem on vaping basically, yes, well it. 7 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 2: Was described as a world first law, but there is 8 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: a lot of anger after the government did water down 9 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 2: its vaping ban to win the support of the Greens. 10 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: So vapes will now be able to be sold over 11 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 2: the counter, but in pharmacies only from next week, and 12 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: that is because the Greens agreed to pass this proposed ban. 13 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: There's a bit of a deal obviously. So these water 14 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: down restrictions have drawn the eye of a pharmacist because 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: they thought it would be prescription only, so people no 16 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: longer need a GP according to this new law to 17 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: buy vapes, and pharmacists say no, it should have really 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: been with prescription only. Some restrictions still apply though, apparently, 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: so there's the vapes are going well. The Yeah, the 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: vapes will be subject to playing packaging and there's no 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: more strawberry flavors or fruity flavors and so forth. It's 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: going to be limited to mint menthol and tobacco. We've 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: heard from the Health Minister saying it will return vapes 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: to their original purpose, which was a therapeutic product to 25 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: help hardened smokers kick the habit. 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: That happens, then we got the new governor General, the 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: incoming governor general. So where did this big pay rise 28 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: come from? Because it's quite substantial, isn't it oh to be. 29 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: The governor general in a way, So the Albanize the 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: government wants to pass a new bill that would leave 31 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: the Governor General's salary by wait for it, forty three percent. 32 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: Now that is a hefty pay rise. So we do 33 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: have a new governor General coming next week, Sam Moston, 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: So apparently about an extra chihundred fourteen grand to earn 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: a seven hundred and nine thousand dollars. Now we know 36 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: that in the past, say, for instance, Governor General David Hurling, 37 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: who's the outgoing GG. Well he's the former chief of 38 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: Defense Force, so he got a military pension on top 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: of the salary, which is about four hundred grands. So 40 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: the government says the change is to ensure that this 41 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: salary remains appropriate for the duration of the terms. So 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: Sam Mostron will get this amount of money for five 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: years running. 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: Good luck to wear Yep, good on Donna, catch up 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: next week.
