1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: Well, we thought it was time to check in with

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: the boss lady with a premier of New South Wales.

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 2: Gladys buried you clean. Good morning premiere, Rodd, Amanda, how

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: are you good? Thank you?

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 3: I'm here too as well, Gladys. I haven't been dropped.

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 3: I haven't been dropped from the show, Okay, I know,

8
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

9
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: I've been reading about how all you guys have been doing.

10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: Actually, well, aren't you coming? Wrote that I did, and

11
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: some good news we've had for Year twelve students. They

12
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: can have their formals and their graduations. Is that right?

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: That's right, But we're just making sure that happens in

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: term four. So some schools are including a lot of

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: private schools, tend to do earlier before the HSD, but

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: we're saying to everybody make sure you plan them for

17
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: term four because the last thing we want is for

18
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: students to feel stressed if their examples disrupted or their

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: school has to close down because someone gets sick. So

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: we're trying to minimize any disruption to the students until

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: they finish their HSD exams and then once that's Ober

22
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: in term four they're welcome to have a form more

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: a graduationation ceremony, and I know that some schools have

24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: special assemblies as well. So Health is working with the

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: public schools, the private schools, the independent schools to make

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: sure the guidelines have been consulting already to the last

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: few weeks because some schools have different ways of making

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: those celebrations happen, and Health is providing that robust device

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: in a formal way out by today or tomorrow.

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 3: Without putting on the cocky pants. It must be really

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: good news to hear that we're the gold standard when

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: it comes to dealing with our situation.

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Well, Norman Swan said that was luck more than anything.

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: How do you feel, Premier.

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Well, I've learned not to listen to any commentators. I

36
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: just keep my head down and do my job because

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: no matter what decision you take, you'll always have people

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: that criticize you or compliment you well, which is rareer,

39
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: but so I tend to just focus on what we

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: need to do and do the best for our citizens.

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: But it is disappointing though, because we've tried to have

42
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: a good balance in New South Wales and it's frustrating

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: when you don't see that returned from other states. And

44
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: I just hope everybody thinks about ourselves not just as

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: being in a state, but being assis and Assis have

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: relatives around the country, businesses have workers and products and

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: services to sell around the country, tourism operators around the country,

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: and we're one nation as well as just being chimbers

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: of a state.

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: Do you think as well that for Daniel Andrews and

51
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: Anastasia Palichet that they've got caught up too much in

52
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: the computer modeling of this. Are they too close to

53
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: them now?

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: No? I think Victoria has a very different situation. Their

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: community transmission did get massively out of control and they've

56
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: got a different response situation. But Queensland, I mean, their

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: case numbers were about the same as ours yesterday. And

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: why are they not letting New South Wales people into

59
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: Queensland where we have our borders completely open with everybody

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: except Victoria. And even in Victoria we have a fifty

61
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: k buffers on either side of the border to allow

62
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: those border communities to come back and forth with free

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: movement so that people aren't disadvantage. So we're trying to

64
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: do the right thing as citizens of Australia, and I

65
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: just wish everybody else what it will. I know it's

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: a wonderful aspiration having zero cases. I'd love to have

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: zero cases, but when you're actually keeping the economy going,

68
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: keeping jobs going, keeping people moving around, you're not going

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: to get zero cases in a pandemic. What you can do, though,

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: is have a manageable number of cases, which is what

71
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: we're doing New South Walest. I'd love us to get

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: down even lower. We've been in single digits now for

73
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks on and off. You're going to

74
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: have some bad days and some good days. That's so

75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: long as the community knows that we can't let our

76
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: guard down until there's a vaccine. I think the way

77
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: that we're showing in New South Wales is yes, we

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: all have to change what we're doing because of the virus,

79
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: but doesn't mean we've stopped working, or stop it's anomous activity,

80
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: or stop you know, having a good quality of life.

81
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Frankly, it's interesting the Prime Minister said that the States,

82
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: if he's not happy with the decisions they're making, he

83
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: might make decisions for the States. That's an unprecedented move,

84
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: isn't it.

85
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: Well, although although I think in these times, who would

86
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: have thought that state borders would become such an issue.

87
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: It's something I never envisaged, even during the pandemic. It

88
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: wasn't something I've thought about.

89
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: Maybe.

90
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: I think in New South Wales though, we do have

91
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: a different world view because we're the largest state and

92
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: we see the world in a particular way. We think

93
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: more globally maybe than some of the other states who

94
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: feel in a different way. But you know, I think

95
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: New Zealand has also shown that elimination is unrealistic in

96
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: the pandemic. You can shut down your economy two or

97
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: three times, but the cases will still pop up because

98
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: the pandemic is ruthless. The disease is contagious. But if

99
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: you're confident in your systems, which I am in New

100
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: South Wales. Remember during our first lockdown, and I hope

101
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: our ownly lockdown, we made sure the schools were COVID safe,

102
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: businesses had COVID safeguidelines, so that when we're reopen society,

103
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: all of us had good indications of what we needed

104
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: to do and we're still learning. That's why I always

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: say the health advice is evolving. The health advice because

106
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: we're still learning about what this disease does. During the week,

107
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: we had some cases in a hospital and the investigator

108
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: the pretty convince that it could have been or was

109
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: transferred from birth to surface, you know, a computer, computer

110
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: terminal or something else, because everybody involves wearing masks. So

111
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: this shows how contagious the disease is. And it also

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: shows to an extent that at this stage we have

113
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: our policy setting pretty okay in New South Wales and

114
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: if they need to be adjust as we will, but

115
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: given the number of cases and given how much our

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: economy is able to function at the moment, and we're

117
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: always looking to push those boundaries where we can and

118
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: give people that freedom where we can. We feel we

119
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: have the balance right and we just wish other states

120
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: had the confidence in the health system and be able

121
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: to cope as well, and then families would have been separated,

122
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: businesses wouldn't be suffering, people wouldn't be going through heartache.

123
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: And I think the important thing is though, the only

124
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: way in New South Wales will continue to be able

125
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: to continue on this path is so long as all

126
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: of us realize that when you leave the door out

127
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: the door, you have to assume you've got the disease

128
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: or people you're coming into contact to, and you've got

129
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: to keep the one and a half meters. You've got

130
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: to keep your hands up well hygiene, you've got to

131
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: make sure you wear a mask in certain settings and

132
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: follow all the rules. And yeah, it's like playing.

133
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: It's like playing the floor is lava, you know, then

134
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: when everything's lava, but everyone's got the disease, we're including you.

135
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that game. Come on, I'm sure all

136
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: you listening.

137
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: When this is over, you can come roundo my house

138
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: and we'll play.

139
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: That's not weak. It's quite an invitation, gladys.

140
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: It's always a treat to talk to you. Thank you
