1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: How did you see all those wonderful images at the airport?

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: I saw it on the news last night, first international

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: flights in a couple of years, being able to land

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: at Sydney Airport, no quarantine required, loved ones there to

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: hug them and welcome them. We haven't seen scenes like

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: that for so long. People were sobbing. It was parents

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: meeting grandchildren. It was brothers and sisters together, it was lovers,

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: it was everything. It was everything. I got quite emotional.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: If that was me, no one would have picked me

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: up from the airport even still no, no, Dad, get

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: a train. We still live in the same place. You

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: know where we are. Haven't seen you for years. I

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: really felt for some of the people because there were

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: cameras everywhere, and some people like that, you know, don't

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: mind being filmed in their reunions. Other people are just

17
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: sobbing and wanting a bit of privacy, I'd imagine. And

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: also some of the camera crews were filming the people

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: coming out of the airport into the area where they're

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: going to be hugged, and the people trying to see

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: them are behind. At one point he said, sorry, I'm

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: just trying to see. Yes, I'd love to chat. I'm

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: just trying to see my daughter over here is just

24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: strown in from America. Are you going to make hay

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: while the sun shines? Everyone's an influencer of these days.

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: Well it doesn't suit everyone. I've thought a man who

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: used his words very well. There was footage of a

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: man called Ethan Carter. He arrived on QF twelve, the

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: first Quantits flight to land at Sydney Airport from the US.

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: He has been trying for two years to get back

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: to Australia to see who's dying mother in Western Australia.

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: So this is what he had to say when he

33
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: landed in Sydney. Sydney's not where Ethan Carter wants to be.

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: His mother is dying in Perth, pleading with a wa

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: premiere to let him go home.

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: Mark think of the people that are suffering like mentally

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: to see their family. That's also a health issue, and

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: we know he've got to protect people's lives, but you've

39
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: got to bring families together again, you have to.

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: So even if he was happy to do the two

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: week quarantine, which he was, he had to apply for

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: an exemption which are given very very rarely. This is

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: starting to look but Barrick, Isn't it so luckily for him?

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: And he's got to do two weeks quarantine right, but

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: they gave him a special dispensation for him to enter

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: Western Australia to see his dying mother after two years overseas,

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: he's still a quarantine for two weeks. So I'm watching

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: also this last night saying here people flying internationally, it's wonderful.

49
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: No quarantine at you go, proper COVID protocols in place,

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, testing double vaxed, all of that.

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: I still can't go to Queensland to see my dad

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: until December seventeen. So the rest of the world's opening up. Queensland,

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Western Australia, Tazzy, where are you come on? Jonesy and

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: Amanda's Nation
