I think we 16 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: touched on this last week as well, and it's just ongoing. 17 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: What do you reckon sooner rather than later or or 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: you know, give it a bit more time. 19 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 5: Well, I think there's been one thing that's been really 20 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 5: consistent from the Prime Minister about borders is that until 21 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 5: we can get everyone vaccined, the borders aren't going to open. 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 5: So instead of people coming out and bumping their gums 23 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 5: and stealing oxygen out of the air that will never 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 5: get back calling for borders to be opened, why don't 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 5: they change their narrative and say get out there and 26 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 5: get a vaccine, because and let's get this vaccine roll 27 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 5: out happening. The one thing that can secure opening the 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 5: borders is getting the population vaccine. At the moment, we're 29 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 5: on a pace. 30 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 4: So I said we were a wound at snail. 31 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 5: We're actually now on arthritic tortoise. We're moving that virgins. 32 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 5: Then we couldn't be early twenty twenty three, they're saying. 33 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: Then when you look at us here in the Northern Territory, 34 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: we're quite far behind as well. Like if you look 35 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: at us at the moment, just to take you through 36 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: our numbers, I believe we're at one in four. I 37 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: think that that's actually nationwide. But then for us in 38 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: the territory at the moment, fifty eight percent of our 39 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: vaccines have been used. We know in Alice Springs though, 40 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: that there's been a change as of basically, well, I 41 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: think today everybody over the age of sixteen is actually 42 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: able to go out and get vaccinated, or we need 43 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: to do that in DAR and do it all right. 44 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: Across the territory. 45 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 5: Well, I've got the visor done last Wednesday, I was 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 5: in Warrem Younger and trying to motivate the people to 47 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 5: go and feel confident about getting the vaccine because there's 48 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 5: been so much commentary around blood clotting and vaccines and 49 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 5: all this sort of stuff. So we lined up and 50 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 5: took five minutes when in I hate needles, but I've 51 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 5: got a photo of me getting the I've got advisor 52 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 5: and so it's three weeks of If I'm not over 53 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 5: at Warram Younger at that time, I'll just go to 54 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 5: Tracy Village and get it done. But that's what people 55 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 5: can do. If you want things to get back to normal. 56 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 5: Let's try to get as many people you know vaccined 57 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 5: as we can and then we can start to get back. 58 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 6: Most people give us twice really seriously about what. 59 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: The vaccine, just getting us just go get it out. 60 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 7: I mean, I couldn't be bothered going to get us. 61 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: That's not. 62 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 6: Ultimately when you've got to get on a plane or 63 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 6: something like that, I might think about it. 64 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 7: But what's some perotive. 65 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: Well, and see that's something that we had spoken about 66 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: yesterday on the show. But I think what's imperative is 67 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: that then when those international borders open, is that we're 68 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: a safer place. 69 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: You know that we don't then end up place and 70 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 3: safer place than what we see in the likes of India. 71 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: At the moment, if we say place in India, there's 72 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: no ceruse, we shut the boarder right and we can't 73 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: keep the borders shut forever like you just simply can't. 74 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: You can't have time out. 75 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 5: The vaccine as it is now, It'll take until all 76 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 5: of twenty twenty two and it'll be into twenty twenty 77 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 5: three before we will get over the eighty percent of 78 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 5: the goal that they want vaccine. So the best thing 79 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 5: we can do is get all the community leaders, like 80 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 5: the prime ministers saying, like the leader of the Opposition saying, 81 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 5: all the people that have got a voice in Australia 82 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 5: should be encouraging Australians to get vaccined. 83 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 4: Because the sooner you get these out and don't. 84 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 5: Listen to Davis. David is a community leader. Just very 85 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 5: disappointing this morning that he would have that attitude. 86 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 6: Of the population are going to be completely unaffected by coronavirus. 87 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 7: But let's go in and you're all going to. 88 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: Get the vaccine. You've previously said on the show that 89 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: you'll get the vaccine. 90 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, when I got to get on a plane. 91 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: That's what it around the country. 92 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 7: That's it will motivate me. 93 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if you currently don't have to 94 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 6: get a vaccine to be on a plane. 95 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 4: I reckon, you're scared of needles, and I think what 96 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 4: I want to do is I'm going to take you 97 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: with me, scared. 98 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: Tough enough along to even do a live cross. 99 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: When you guys go and get your vaccine, just let out. 100 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 4: A little squeal and you're tough enough. 101 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: But seriously, I think if we're going to open the 102 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: borders internationally, which we're talking about doing from the middle 103 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: of next year, and it is about getting the economy 104 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: moving as well, which Dave, I know that you. 105 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 3: Feel passionate about. 106 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 2: If it is about doing that as well, then the 107 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 2: sooner we can get everybody vaccinated, sure the better. 108 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 6: Well I would have thought that nobody will be getting 109 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 6: on a plane unless they vaccinated. 110 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 7: So what's the album. 111 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: That's what Alan Joyce said, Well, what's the. 112 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 6: Problem anyone turning up? He's going to be vaccinated if 113 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 6: they come in a plane. 114 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 5: So when when should they kick that in? Now that 115 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 5: it's been open to everyone and we have the. 116 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 6: National border is open. I think that's when they're going 117 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 6: to be signed. There's got to be manitary. If you're 118 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 6: going to come into Australia, you're going to have to 119 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 6: be vaccinated. 120 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 7: We're going to have to demonstrate. 121 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 5: That if domestically in Australia you can't fly until you 122 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 5: get vaccinated. 123 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: Yet, Yeah, I'm keen. 124 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: Well, they've got to do. 125 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 5: Something to get people to motivate to go and get done. 126 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 4: Why because they're not going to open the borders. 127 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 5: They've already said, the Prime Minister has already said that 128 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 5: until we can get people vaccinated. 129 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: Well, no I don't because I think it's about like 130 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: if you've got into. 131 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 7: The country, you've got to be vaccinated. 132 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they should all be vaccinated to be able 133 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: to come into the territory. But don't you want to 134 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: give yourself an extra you know, an extra measure to 135 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: make sure that you're going to be open. 136 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 7: Is unaffected by it, So we don't have a respect. 137 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 3: Let me say it to you this way. 138 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: Everybody that's getting on the planes at the moment from 139 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: India repatriation flights here to Darwin in the last instance, 140 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: was meant to be COVID free, yet we still ended 141 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: up with fifty five people that had. 142 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 3: Coronavirus out at Howard Springs. 143 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: So there's going to be situations where people still come 144 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: into Australia and into the Northern Territory. My guess is 145 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: who either haven't been vaccinated or who are carrying coronavirus. 146 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: So for me, it's about making. 147 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: You carry It's well it could be, but I just. 148 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 4: Get it done and all the people. 149 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 7: This is. 150 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 6: Pandemic, pawn, you're talking now, this is serious. 151 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 5: The actual worst thing for the economy is what's happened 152 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 5: in Singapore and Taiwan. 153 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 4: They've shut down again. 154 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 5: The worst thing as economy in Australian economy is bouncing back. 155 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 5: Look what's happening here in the Northern Territory with people 156 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 5: coming to the territory and spending their money.
