1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Jumb mission with Jonesy and Amanda Well. Over the weekend

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: it was announced New South Wales was heading into a

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: state lockdown statewide as cases continue to rise. There'll be

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred police officers out enforcing their tighter restrictions in

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: some relief. There are more fires of vaccines on the way.

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Our Prime Minister is here to fill us in on

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: the state's progress. S Got Morrison, Good morning.

8
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: Good morning, Amanda.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: Tell us about the fires of vaccines. How many will

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: they be, when will they get here? Who'll get them?

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: Well, five hundred and thirty thousand are here now, just

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: slightly over that actually, and those five hundred and thirty

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: thousand are going all into southwestern Sydney, into those local

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: government areas most affected by the outbreak that has been

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: targeted based on the advice we've received from the Chief

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: Medical Officer to those age between twenty and thirty nine,

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: and so we've worked through how many of those were

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: already vaccinated and how many aren't. So that's about seeking

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: a blanket vaccination across those age groups, because that is

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: where the virus is transmitting most amongst those groups, and

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: so that's where they those vaccines are going, but I'd

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: stress it's very important rights the right across Sydney, right

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: across New South Wales, that people continue to go and

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: get their vaccines. We've got one in four who are

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: now double dose, slightly more than that in New South Wales.

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: One in two already in New South Wales have had

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: their first vaccination and that will be the true right

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: across the country. This week we're doing about one and

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 2: a half million a week, so we need to keep

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: the vaccination pace up, but we also need to make

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: the lockdown work, and so if you're in Sydney, please

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: stay at home. New South Wales, please stay at home.

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Both my sons, who are twenty and eighteen, have had astrozenica.

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: I just thought, let's just get it done. Whatever shot

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: you can get in your arm is a good one.

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: As we're watching these numbers over the weekend, I saw

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: that Kerry Chant. Doctor Kerry Chant just looked, she looked

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: full of despair, and she said, this is our fork

39
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: in the road. It's our choice as to what should

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: happen now. I didn't know where to put myself because

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: I've been double vaccinated. My whole family in the process

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: of being vaccinated I'm doing the right thing. The numbers

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: are just going up and up and up. How I

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: can't control this. It's terrifying.

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Well, it is very concerning. And look, I think Kerry

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: Chance done an amazing job. All of our health officers,

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: our police officers, those working to make this work. You know,

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: we're indebted to them and they've been working under a

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: lot of strain, as many people have. But I think

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: Kerry said out well. I was speaking with Kerry on

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: the weekend about you know, what was necessary and what's

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: necessary is the lockdown has to work. And you are, Amanda,

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: I mean getting it family vaccinated. You know you're at

54
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: work today. You need to be there because you're encouraging

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: people and supporting people through your program. But right across Sydney,

56
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: it's just important people stay at home now. Whether the

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: rules say you can be out for more than our

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: a day, stay home. That's just what we have to do.

59
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: And if we do that, we can hold this thing.

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: And ideally, and I think it is possible, it's Carry's

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: view too, that we can start to drive those numbers down.

62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: But if the lockdown doesn't work, well, the lockdown doesn't work.

63
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: It's a fairly obvious statement. I know, but all of

64
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: us just need to make sure that we just stay

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: still because the virus can't move unless we carry it

66
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: to someone else. And we can't be complacent about across Sydney.

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: And I know the overwhelming majority of Sydney siders are

68
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: trying to do the right thing, but we need everybody

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: to do the right thing.

70
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: So is it vaccine hesitancy that we're looking at now

71
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: or is it the fact that people just can't get

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: the vaccine?

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: What is it?

74
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: A bit from column Ain, a bit from COLUMNB.

75
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's neither. I mean, what we're seeing now is

76
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: that the vaccines are there and people are taking them,

77
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: and the hesitance is, as you know, just ebbed away.

78
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: People are out there and getting them. The issue is

79
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: that people won't say still. That's the issue. I mean,

80
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: the vaccines are not a substitute for the lockdown. And

81
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: I think sometimes people think that, oh, well I'm vaccinated. No,

82
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: when you've got a population that is not up at

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: those seventy and eighty percent levels, But he needs to

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: stay still.

85
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: So what happens though, if say the tracking looks like

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: by November it's going to be seventy to eighty percent.

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: That means we're in lockdown, So then the businesses are

88
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: going to go.

89
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: People just can't deal.

90
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's not clear, and the Premier is i think

91
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: been very clear that has vaccination rates continue to rise

92
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: and if the lockdown can be more effective than it

93
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: has been, then they can look at what they can

94
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: do between now and then you know, moving into Phase B.

95
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: It's seventy percent is not how you manage the lockdown

96
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: is a separate issue. So you know there are two

97
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: different things. And so where the Premier is able to

98
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: make changes down the track, well and good, and they'll

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: be kept considering that very very carefully. But really, you know,

100
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: to be honest, guys, what's the alternative. The alternative is

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: you let the virus rip and people die. And that's

102
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: the stark challenge that we face. And it's not a

103
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 2: hollow threat because you know, we're looking at the United States.

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: They're in i think about their fifth wave now and

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: they've got hundreds of people dying every day. Now we've

106
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: got to reflect it on in Australia that has not

107
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 2: been our experience. We have had one of the lowest

108
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: fatality rates of COVID anywhere in the world, and our

109
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: economy has sustained this better than almost every other economy

110
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: in the world, and that will be true once the

111
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: lockdown's lift, then we will see our economy come back strongly.

112
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: And that's why we're putting so many economic supports, you know,

113
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: payments into businesses, payments to individuals. Well, it'll be about

114
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: two and a half billion dollars this week that we've

115
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: pumped into people's pockets through the COVID disaster payments, helping

116
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: them get through the business's payments in the New South

117
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: Wales that pushing in, we're sharing those costs with them

118
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: as we are in Victoria and other states. That helps

119
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: get our economy through. So we've built the bridge to

120
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: get there. We've just got to keep pushing across. It.

121
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: Is it disappointing that Joe Biden didn't come to the

122
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: party with the extra vaccines and we had to go

123
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: to Poland.

124
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: Well, look, I'll go where I need to go to

125
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: get what we need to get. And you've got to

126
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: remember the United States is they're not exactly out of

127
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: the woods. Far from it. They've got hundreds and hundreds

128
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: of people dying every day, so you know they're dealing

129
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: with their own crisis there, and they're also dealing with

130
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: other countries in situations in developing countries around the world,

131
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: that it is just an absolute horror show.

132
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: Can we actually lock us up until can in New

133
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: South Wales? Will Sydney be locked up till November? I mean,

134
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: is that feasible? Can we survive it?

135
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: Well? I believe Australians can survive anything, and if we

136
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: really have to, and if we put our minds to it,

137
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: and plenty of previous generations have done that. I've said

138
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: this a few times now. You know, previous generations of Australians.

139
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: They've dealt with war, they've dealt with depression, they've dealt

140
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: with all manner of difficult situations. Now this is the

141
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: challenge of our generation and in our generation. We have

142
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: to push through this for the sake of our country's future.

143
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: And if that means we need to stay home and

144
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: tough it out and support each other through this, that's

145
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: just what we have to do. Because the alternative with

146
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: the delta strain is there isn't one. This delta strain

147
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: completely changed everything for so long we're able in this country,

148
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: particularly in New South Wales, to keep this virus at

149
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: bay through the very strong testing and tracing and isolating

150
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: quarantine systems that New South Wales has had. Delta strain

151
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: overwhelmed that and we went alone. We had one of

152
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: the best, if not the best, in the world, and

153
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: the whole world is dealing with this delta strain. That's

154
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: what's new. I mean, we've had fifty percent increase in

155
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: the number of virus cases this year already to date

156
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: vobally that we had in the entirety of twenty twenty.

157
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: The pandemic is worse this year than it was last year.

158
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: It is more virulent, it is more contagious, and the.

159
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Shame was sort of slower off the mark than we

160
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: expected to be and wanted to be. But the genie

161
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: is out of the bottle in terms of vaccination. But

162
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: the genie is out of the bottle now and what

163
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: we need to do is work on how to get

164
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: it back in.

165
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: That's right, and there's only one way, and that is

166
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: people going to stop moving that the virus doesn't move

167
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: by itself. And so these additional doses, I mean, they

168
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: have come just when we needed them, especially in southwestern Sydney.

169
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: We've as I said, we've gone through worked out how

170
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: many people in that population were vaccinated unvaccinated, and ensuring

171
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: that those doses are getting through. We've been working closely

172
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: with New South Wales on the delivery of those so

173
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: they're here now and they're there, and particularly people in

174
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: those age groups. We need to get you vaccinated because

175
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: a lot of people in those age groups, you know,

176
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: they're working in essential industries. So we've got to keep

177
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: the country moving. You make the point rightly, Amna, Well

178
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: how do we keep the economy moving in an environment

179
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: like this, Well, those people have got to go to work,

180
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: they've got to go to distribution centers, so you know

181
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 2: there's food on the grocery shelves and all of those

182
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: sorts of things. Now it's not the first time we

183
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: did this. I mean in Victoria last year ourselves and

184
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: the Victorian government worked through four and a half months

185
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: of this and the Toorian's got through and I have

186
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: absolutely no doubt that Sydney Siders can get through and

187
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: New South Wales can get through as well.

188
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: It's just about staying at home, don't go out if

189
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: you don't need to go out, where your mask and

190
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff. Well, Scott Morrison, thank you,

191

Speaker 3: thank you for joining us. Stay at home, wats white lotus.

192
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: What's that? That's good binge that that's why we.

193
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: Love all of the bub I was watching the Voice

194
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: last night. There you go, so you know all of

195
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: that there. Jenny is setting a world record for how

196
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: many puzzles she's doing back in Sydney and keeping all

197
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: the puzzle manufacturer is very very well employed, I think.

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: But you all do what you've got to do and

199
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: everyone's hanging together. Make sure you ring people, ring your friends,

200
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: stay in contact, ring your mum, ring, ring, and stay

201
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: in contact. I think that's really important for people's mental

202
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: health and all those year twelve students that is so tough,

203
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: and the parents keeping them focused and encouraging them. You're

204
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: doing a great job as well.
