1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's for.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: The first time in twenty twenty one. The Pub Test

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: is back and this morning does the Australian Open. Past

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: the Pub Test.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 3: It's a big deal. Twelve hundred people will be arriving

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 3: in Melbourne for the Australian Open. These are the players,

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 3: the coaches that support teams, broadcasters, tired chunk of people

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: arriving and so far three planes have had someone with

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: COVID on board. That's taken sixty two people into quarantine

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: because a whole lot of people associated with each case

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: has to go into quarantine for two weeks. Some of

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 3: the very top players are involved here too.

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: Is it just may or these rules seem a little

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: bit rubbery sometimes.

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know why people don't get tested before

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: they arrive here.

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: Makes sense to me?

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. We're allowing twelve hundred people to come

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: in here and many people who are in quarantine or

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: some of the players are complaining that they're not getting

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: a chance to train, they're not getting access to their

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: proper food, well no access to their coaches.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm mad here to play tennis and you want to

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: be the top of your game, and then you're stuck

25
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: in a hotel room getting fat watching Netflix. Meanwhile, old mate,

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: he's been practicing like a demon.

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 3: Old mate, staying COVID free my tennis plus.

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: What do you think?

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 3: So what do you think? I mean? It does seem

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: like a giant chommuzzle And as you say, Brendan, double

31
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: standards with the rules all over the place. Does the

32
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: Australian open past the pub test? Why are we.

33
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: Letting all these people coming into the country. The government

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 4: has really slipped up.

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: On this one.

36
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: I believe there's now more become about money than what

37
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: Australian health is.

38
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 5: No, I don't believe it, don't. I don't think any

39
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 5: of these sporting events do. I have a son who's

40
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 5: currently stranded in London and can't get home. It's like

41
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 5: it's all about the money and we're not looking after

42
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 5: our own. I'm just disgusted with the way this is

43
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 5: being handled.

44
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: Now we've got all these people coming in, it's going

45
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: to go back to square one.

46
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: If one of them brings us COVID in, that shuts

47
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing down for everybody.

48
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: There seems to be two rules. Don't do as I do,

49
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: do as I you. It's big dollars. They've moved the

50
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: Formula one as you've said, now they want to have

51
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: the tennis. No shame on Daniel Andrews and Victoria.

52
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: The players knew before they came what the quarantine conditions were.

53
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: They knew that this would occur if there were people

54
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: with COVID on their planes. And losing players in the

55
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: first round receive one hundred thousand dollars.

56
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: So there's big money up for grabs for the players.

57
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 3: So some people thinking, shut your pie hole and put

58
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: up with it. But are we opening ourselves to more

59
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: COVID cases like this when other Australians can't come home.

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: Although I'm looking forward to old mate winning the Australian

61
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 5: Open, Jonesy and Amanda's nation
