1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Oliver Peterson Sex pr Perth Live Presenters with us Ali Hey, 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Heather right is Victorian nuts. 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 2: Of course, that's why they're over there, you know, that's 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: that little part of Australia we wouldn't like to kind 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: of talk about from time to time. But yes, the Premier, 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 2: justinto Allen, wants to enshrine in law that workers can 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: have the legal protection to stay at home or work 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 2: from home two days per week, which is obviously quite bizarre. 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 3: This is going to be on the public service. This 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 3: is about people working in. 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: Private enterprise who would have in Victoria the right to 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: turn around to their boss and say, but the Premier 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 2: told me I could be at home. 14 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: I don't need to come into the office. Now. 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: Business groups have hit out at this, saying, one, there's 16 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: already a lot of relationships in place in various industries 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: for this. We understand this flexibility now it happened through 18 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: the COVID years, Natty's continuing. But two they're also arguing 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: that this is going to kill and decimate what we 20 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: know is like the CBD of Melbourne as an example, 21 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: Think of all those coffee shops which are going to 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 2: go bus. Think of all of those cafes as restaurants, 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: the hustle and bustle the city. It just seems as 24 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: though there's a myriad of problems in Victoria at the moments. 25 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,919 Speaker 2: They have got crime out of control while Australia. 26 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: Is still powering ahead. 27 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: Their housing crisis is getting worse, more so than it 28 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: is in any other parts of this country. And every 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: now and then someone in the Victorian government, whether it's 30 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: former Premier Daniel Andrwy's now Premier just Into Allen says, 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 2: don't worry about what's going on over there. 32 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 3: Here's another idea, like a bright spark. 33 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: You can all stay at home for two days a 34 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: week and work from home so they can stay in 35 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: power for as long as the Labor Party of Victoria 36 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: wants to be there. 37 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: So do you I mean, yeah, I hadn't thought of 38 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: it like that, Like this is going to happen because 39 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: most punters are workers. And are they even going to 40 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 1: love this? Aren't they? 41 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 3: They are? 42 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: And you know, Victoria is really becoming, you know, the 43 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: welfare state, the state that employs everybody in the public service. 44 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: So they're going to go with this and say, oh, 45 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: he's that a good forage? You know, you just join us. 46 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: I don't like this, I really don't like this, this 47 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: idea that you are going to be telling a private 48 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: enterprise how they operate the I mean, iwas, look at 49 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: the jobs that we all do in the media. It 50 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: says about the media, but look at the physios, look 51 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: at the people who. 52 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 3: Are building houses. They can't say, no, I'm a brickie, 53 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to work from home two days a week. 54 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: That house won't get built. 55 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: No, exactly. I mean, they're going to have to be 56 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: so many carve outs, and I just wonder if that's 57 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: the savior here, is that they do so many exemptions 58 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: that actually any business can manage to get around it. 59 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: You'd have to have your fingers crossed for it. And 60 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: that is basically a hollow announcement. Listen, tell me what's 61 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: going on with the flooding in New South Wales. 62 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: Well, the Warrigamber Dam's about to burst, and unfortunately haven't 63 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: we heard that time and time again in recent years. 64 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: They've got to change something here though, because stored water 65 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: cannot be released. 66 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: The Warrigamber Dam is operated as a water security dam, 67 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: so even if it's reaching capacity, they can't get rid 68 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: of it, which I just find bizarre when you flush 69 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: it away before you knew there was going to be flooding. 70 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: The real issue though, is we've got places like Campsey 71 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: Smith's Lake Armadale where they have been already told to 72 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: evacuate because of flooding, and we've already got over fourteen 73 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: thousand homes and businesses without power again. It's unfortunately a 74 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: story we keep hearing about in northern New South Wales 75 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: just been inundated with rain for days and days and days. 76 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: This side of the country where I am in Perth, 77 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: we've had a lot of rain as well. It is winter. 78 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: It doesn't come as a surprise, but you really feel 79 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: for these communities which have been fart affected almost on 80 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: an annual basis. 81 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: At the moment, Heather, we hope everybody's okay. 82 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: Hey listen, tell me about this foot and mouth vaccine. 83 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Is this for real? 84 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 85 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: It is for real and it's going to be developed 86 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: here in Australia's an mRNA vaccine to protect our cows 87 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: against foot and mouth disease. Comes obviously after we have 88 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: enabled a change in the laws where we can import 89 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: American beef and there where some concerns over foot and 90 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: mouth disease. 91 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: It's something that obviously Australia takes very seriously. 92 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: I know New Zealand does too, biosecurity measures in regards 93 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: to protecting particularly our agriculture industries. So this is going 94 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: to be developed locally in a new South Wales facility 95 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: and that'll hopefully be rolled out as soon as possible 96 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: to protect our cows from foot and mouth, which is 97 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: a good step in agriculture and biosecurity. 98 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: You should use that voice more often. I liked, Hey, 99 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: thanks very much, I appreciate it. Oli Peters and six 100 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: pur Perth Life Present. Hey, can I tell you what 101 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: I read about this center? Allan announcement over the weekend. 102 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: This is the one where people can stay home work 103 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: from I think she described it as a right that 104 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: you should be able to work from home two days 105 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: out of five, which is completely nuts. And then she said, 106 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, all the latest evidence suggests it's a good thing. 107 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: We'll actually know all the latest evidence is quite the contrary. 108 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: But whatever. But the thing that really got my goat, 109 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: and gets my goat every single time is when they 110 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: say this the move could save the average worker so 111 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: many dollars a week cut congestion on roads and keep 112 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: more women in the workforce. Now, hang on a tack. 113 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: Let's just unpick this for as a woman, I object 114 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: to this. Let's unpick this for attack. Why are we 115 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: making women stay at home two days a week in 116 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: order to stay in the workforce, Because what Jacinta's doing 117 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: is she's going, oh, listen, we know it's the women 118 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: at home who do the dishes and do the laundry, 119 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: and vacuum and mop and pack away everything and make 120 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: the kids' beds, and you know, like, well the list 121 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: never ends, right, So what they're doing is going, listen, 122 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: if the women and the childcare and take the children 123 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: to the doctor, I'm we just go on, right. So 124 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: what they're doing is saying, let the women stay at 125 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: home because then they can do all of those things 126 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: while also working. Actually, no, that's not what I want 127 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: for my life, thanks very much. I don't want to 128 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: be doing that at home and then also going to work. 129 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: That's not fair. Well, it's some trenching gender roles, there, 130 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: aren't they. So when they tell you that they're all 131 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: woky and stuff and trying to fight for women, look 132 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: at that. They're just keeping the women in the kitchen, 133 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: there aren't they. 134 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 3: For more from Heather duplessyell and drive. 135 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: Listen live to news talks the'd Be from four pm weekdays, 136 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
