1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Perfect weather I think you'd have to say for the

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: visit of a Prime minister. And joining us in the

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: studio is the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison.

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning. It's great to be here, it is.

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: And it's great weather. Really for you is.

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: That it's stunning and it's great to be here with

7
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: Sam McMahon as well.

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: And spent the last twenty four hours doing quite a

9
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 3: bit actually, and we just came from a meeting with

10
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: all the local tourism operators, so it's been a great

11
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 3: opportunity to get a lot of feedback but also for

12
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: me to be able to say thank you to Territorians.

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 3: They've done such an amazing job during the course of COVID.

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: Thank you to the territory.

15
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: It has been a tough time. I think it's been

16
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: a tough time for all Australians, but we do have

17
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: the Senator for the Northern Territory, Sam McMahon in the

18
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: studio with us as well. Good morning, Sam, Good morning Katie.

19
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 4: And yesterday I spoke to you on your show and

20
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 4: you are asked for the Prime Minister and.

21
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: Nice to be here here it is. It is great

22
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: to have you here now you did mention that obviously

23
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: caught up with the tourism sector this morning. What did

24
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: you have to say to them? I know it has

25
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: been a tough time for them.

26
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: Well again it was a message of thank you, but

27
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: it was also an opportunity to get back from them

28
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: first hound how they're traveling and they've seen a massive

29
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: pickup in their bookings. We've seen that the success of

30
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: the half priced tickets has had a big impact up here,

31
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: but as the domestic tourism marketers continue to pick up,

32
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: their problem now is stuff that's the big problem and

33
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: that also came through in the discussions I've been having here.

34
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: Men.

35
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: Sam's always been mentioning that, as is Leayer and Chief

36
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: Ministry and others. So this is the next challenge. We

37
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: got through the COVID challenge of last year. COVID hasn't

38
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: gone away. That's still something we need to stay on

39
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: top of. But now we need to address these workforce

40
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: shortage challenges here in the territory.

41
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: Now. I know that we've spoken on numerous occasions to

42
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: the likes of Hospitality and Too. We've also spoken to

43
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: Tourism Central Australia, Tourism top End. I've spoken to the

44
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: Senator about these concerns when it comes to filling these jobs.

45
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: But what we've heard as well is that it's not

46
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: just about trying to attract people from into state. They're

47
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: wondering whether we may be able to actually bring people

48
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: from overseas, from some of those safe countries bring them

49
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: here to the territory to fill some of those said

50
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: unfortunately we're not currently able to film.

51
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're the options we certainly have to

52
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: look at. I mean, Howard Springs is, in my view,

53
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: I think has a great claim to be the world's

54
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: most successful quarantine facility. During COVID zero breaches had I

55
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: think over thirty flights, direct flights, chartered flights that were

56
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: brought in there, hundreds and hundreds thousands of people come

57
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: through and they've done an amazing job. And yesterday I

58
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to thank everybody at oz Madton who's

59
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: done a great job setting of that up and getting

60
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: that going. So the territory has shown that they can

61
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: do this very effectively. There are many other facilities up

62
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: here that potentially can provide that commercially, and I know

63
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: it means a lot to not just the hospitality sector,

64
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: but the horticultural sector, the construction sector. I mean, workforce

65
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: shortages is not a new issue in the Northern Territory,

66
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: but it has become more acute because of COVID and

67
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: it is more pronounced here. So whether it's extending working

68
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 3: hours for those here on existing visas or extending their visas,

69
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: all of that can be done here in the territory.

70
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: I don't think that alone is going to solve the problem,

71
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 3: because if we extend say working our arrangements, well, a

72
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: lot of those people are actually down in the Southern

73
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: States and there are shortages there in the hospitality sector

74
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: to there, so they'll go into those jobs. So who's

75
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: coming to Darwin, Who's coming to our springs? And so

76
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: having something a bit more bespoke for the territory I

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: think is very warranted based on what I've heard here.

78
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Could that involve flying workers across from some of those

79
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: countries that are safe and similar to what we looked

80
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: at doing with Benawasha.

81
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: We're already that's already a model we've been using, particularly

82
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: in the agricultural sector, and that's worked I think very

83
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: well up here. But I mean the big challenge here

84
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: is that we normally have that large backpacker workforce and

85
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: that's obviously not here because of COVID. That's nobody's fault,

86
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: it's just how it is. And we can't open up

87
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: the borders willy nilly because we know what that would

88
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: happen in terms of what would happen in terms of COVID,

89
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: not just here but right across the country. And the

90
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: Territory has just done such a fantastic job protecting the

91
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: rest of Australia through us bringing back those chartered flights

92
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: and then half a million Australians have come back from

93
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: overseas over the course of COVID and the Territory has

94
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: done some real heavy lifting there with New South Wales

95
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: to achieve that. But you know, we've got to keep

96
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: Australia COVID safe and keep COVID out of the country.

97
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: But you know this can be done, but it's going

98
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: to require a partnership I think between the commercial sector,

99
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: the private sector, ourselves and ultimately the Northern Territory Government

100
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: has to be comfortable and sign off on all the

101
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: health issues.

102
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: And so Senator, is that something that you're going to

103
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: now work with the Prime Minister on to try to

104
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: make sure that we are able to bring some of

105
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: these workers across.

106
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: Oh. Absolutely, Katie.

107
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 4: And the other thing that I've been working on with

108
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: CDU is the option of bringing in international students and

109
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: using Bladen Village as a quarantine for them. CDU is

110
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: quite keen obviously because it's a win for them and

111
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: it would also provide a workforce for the hospitality industry.

112
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: So there's there's lots of options.

113
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: There's a win win and that Chief Minister Michael and

114
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: I had discussed this yesterday and that's one of the

115
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 3: things that it's already on our agenda, but it's been

116
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: reinforced and Lea and I spoke about it yesterday as well.

117
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: So there's a very good awareness of this and I

118
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: think there's a good will to try and find practical solutions.

119
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: And you're ever going to find practical solutions. It's going

120
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: to come out of the territory.

121
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: So how soon could this happen? Prime Minister House.

122
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: I generally you don't want to give a commitment on

123
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: that at this point. I think we've got to work

124
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 3: through what the options are, how you do it safely.

125
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 3: That's really important. I mean, it's not just about finding

126
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: a mining camp with some bets. It's much more complicated

127
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: than that. You need the infection control, you need the

128
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: health workforce, you need the security controls, you need the transfers,

129
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: you need the flights. So it is a I mean,

130
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: we're spending half a billion dollars on how it springs

131
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 3: out till the end at the end of this year.

132
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: So it is an enormous undertaking.

133
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 3: And so Conwealth isn't suggesting that it would have to

134
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: be a partnership with a commercial sector, whether it's the universities,

135
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 3: whether it's the big industries.

136
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 2: Here.

137
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: I mean, there are the facilities, there are the facilities,

138
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: but the harder part is actually the workforce that supports

139
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: those quarantine facilities to facilitate this.

140
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to talk about about the Howard Springs

141
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: facility and the success of that facility. I know that

142
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: you went out yesterday and caught up with the National

143
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Critical Care and Trauma Response Team, the once MAAT team.

144
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: They are phenomenal. We call them the Swiss Army Knife

145
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: of the of the medical profession. Phenomenal. The work they

146
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: do is simply is simply fantastic. But there are a

147
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: lot of Territorians who are really concerned right now about

148
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: that team transitioning out of the Howard Springs facility from

149
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: next week. Is this something that worries.

150
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: You, well, our medical advice is that we can make

151
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 3: that transition and what Kath out there and her team

152
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: have done it is simply amazing.

153
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: We've got to remember os MATT is.

154
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: A dedicated task, special capability and when Lenda Taras sort

155
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: of set that up after the Bali bombings, I mean

156
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: it is one of the great success stories of the

157
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: territory in Australia. What has been chead through that center.

158
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 3: It is world class and its capability gets called on

159
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: for any number of situations that Australia could face or

160
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: indeed in our region. So they've done an amazing job

161
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: sitting this up. Of course, it'd be wonderful if they

162
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: could run everything and do it everywhere, but there's just

163
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: not that capability to do that, and we need them

164
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: to continue to be available to deploy in any number

165
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: of other situations. So they have done an amazing job

166
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: setting this up. The transfer process, I think we'll see

167
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: a massive particularly on the contracted staff carryover between the two.

168
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: The protocols, the disciplines and all of this has been established.

169
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: Now this job now is being taken up by the

170
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: North Tarrity government. We're working with them to achieve what

171
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: they need to achieve. They need to meet the same

172
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: standards that Osmatter has put in place. They know that's

173
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: their job, and I know the Chief Minister is very

174
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: adamant about that as well, and I'm sure Lea will

175
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: keep it close eye on it as well well.

176
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Four hundred staff is what they have flagged that they

177
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: need to recruit across the board, obviously, not just medical staff,

178
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: but other staff. They're currently sitting at seventy. Is that

179
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: a worry.

180
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: You'll see a lot of existing staff translate over. People

181
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: are already working out there now we'll be just working

182
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: there under a different arrangement. And at this stage that

183
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: is not being flagged to me as an issue. But

184
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: if it were to be, then obviously we would have

185
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: to look at what our options were. But that's not

186
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: the case at the moment, so I think it's important

187
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: to let them just get on with the job of

188
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: the transition. This is a facility that's not going anywhere

189
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: anytime soon. It's important to appreciate that when this was

190
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: set up, remember we set up Howard Springs and we

191
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: work closely with the Northern Territory government to get that

192
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: in place, working closely with the community. At that time,

193
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 3: it was effectively a crisis facility. We were bringing people

194
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: out of Wuhun at that time, the origin and epicenter

195
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: of the pandemic, and they move quickly and swiftly.

196
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: It was set up.

197
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: It's been very successful. Now we'll be looking at these

198
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: quarantine facilities for a considerable time ahead and to have,

199
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: if you like, our special forces type elite level medical

200
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: teams tied up in such a large facility for a

201
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: long time and the capability they have, you've got to

202
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: think about the wisdom of doing that over a sustained period,

203
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: I mean having them there for years to come. Well,

204
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: that could really compromise their ability to respond to other crises.

205
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: Now, currently we have got fifty four active cases out

206
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: there at Howard Springs. The majority of those have come

207
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: in really in recent days and weeks as a result

208
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: of those India repatriation flights. You've halted those flights. How

209
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: long are they going to be halted for?

210
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: Well, initially we've holded them till the fifteenth of May

211
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: and we'll consider it again close to that time. That

212
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: they are repatriation flights that the Conmworth government is running,

213
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: so they're not commercial flights, so we can turn those

214
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: flights on and off. We have to be careful about

215
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: the significant increase in the rate of infection that we

216
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: saw coming through from those more recent flights. I mean,

217
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: what's happening India is absolutely heartbreaking, and I know here

218
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: in the territory, particularly in Darwin, one of the if

219
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: not the most strongest multicultural community anywhere in the country.

220
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 3: There will be people listening to me. Now there wouldn't.

221
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: I find it hard that there'd be any Indian Australian

222
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: family in the country that somehow isn't being affected by this,

223
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: and so we're very concerned for them. Our Department of

224
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: Home Affairs, our Immigration Minister is reaching out to these communities.

225
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: I was on a Multicultural Communities called yesterday about this,

226
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: just getting the feedback, getting information to people. I would

227
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: like to see those repat flights start again after that

228
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: fifteen May period, but obviously we've got to take the

229
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: medical advice. But from what I saw yesterday and talking

230
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: to those on the ground, I think that sort of

231
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: two week pause. We'll see us just got to get

232
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: over a bit of a hump when it comes to

233
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: the number of cases being at an elevated level, and

234
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: we will hopefully been able to restore that. The other

235
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: point is this, we're going from eight hundred to two

236
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: thousand now. When we set up the National Resilience Center,

237
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: that it was already there in terms of what were

238
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: established to bring people back from Wilhar, but then we

239
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: established it as the national facility to bring back chartered flights.

240
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 3: That was recommended by the Jane Holton Review. That was

241
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: the common wealths role when it came to quarantine and

242
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: as I said, we've invested, We've committed half a billion

243
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 3: dollars to that effort. Now we decided to upscale that

244
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: to take it from eight hundred to two thousand, and

245
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: that has been done over the course of this next month.

246
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 3: And that is where Australia, the Commwalth government is supplementing

247
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: the broader quarantine capabilities across the country.

248
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: And so if we don't have those additional numbers going

249
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: through the hard Springs Center for National Resilience, is that

250
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: funding going to come down.

251
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: Well, there's operational funding and that's a function of how

252
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: many people are going through the center, but it's demand driven.

253
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: There's base costs and other things that are obviously in

254
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: that amount as well, and those costs are there whether

255
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: there are people there or not, as is the case

256
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 3: with any facility, but we intend to utilize this capacity

257
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 3: because this is where we're bringing the chartered flights in from.

258
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: And this is why I think the Territory is just

259
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: doing such an amazing job because these are the most

260
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 3: desperate cases that we're bringing back that we on our

261
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: flights that we're chartering. The focuses on the most vulnerable

262
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: people and so obviously for those in India at the

263
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: moment and Australian through in India that they're not in

264
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: New Delhi or in Mumbai, that they are all over

265
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: the country. And to get the most vulnerable it's a

266
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: few here, a few there, few there, and to get

267
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: them to the cities where you need to transfer them

268
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: in India is a huge job for our High Commission

269
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: over there, Barrier Farrell, and it is a major humanitarian crisis.

270
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: Prime ministerial power through because there's a lot happening this

271
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: morning and we don't get you here very often. We're

272
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: very keen to ask you a few more questions. Nine

273
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: News is reporting this morning that Australia's medical regulator is

274
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,239
Speaker 1: urgently investigating after two people died days after being vaccinated

275
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: against COVID nineteen. The Therapeutic Drugs Administration is working to

276
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: understand the reason behind both of these cases, but say

277
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: no lenk's been established to the JAB. A fifty five

278
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: year old man, though, died in Tamworth Hospital due to

279
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: blood clots to his lungs eight days after receiving the vaccine.

280
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: I mean, does this make you, as the Prime Minister,

281
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: have a look at the way the vaccine's rolling out

282
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: and you know, think about whether we do need to

283
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: change things.

284
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: The Therapeutic Goods Administration and doing their job, and you've

285
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: just read out exactly what they've said so far on that,

286
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: and I think Australians can have a lot of confidence

287
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: in the TGA. It is one of the best, if

288
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: not the best, medicines regulator anywhere in the world, and

289
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: they went through a no corners cut process of assessing

290
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: the vaccines in Australia and their investigators move on these

291
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: issues very quickly. So I think what's important when we

292
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: talk about these issues, that we allow the medical experts

293
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: to do their job and do advise us. What this

294
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 3: means I mean to look at these issues superficially. I'm

295
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: not suggesting that's what you're doing. I'm just saying we've

296
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: got to be careful how we talk about these cases.

297
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: Let's allow them me dical facts to be established, and

298
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: let's make decisions based on facts.

299
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: Prime Minister. Yesterday, obviously you made a massive announcement seven

300
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven million dollars on those four Northern

301
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Territory ADF training sites. There has been concern obviously about

302
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: our relationship with China. Is this spend and is this

303
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: bolstering about making sure that we are prepared should something

304
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: things turn not so good?

305
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: Well, our force posture settings are constantly reviewed and I

306
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: announced a major change to those last year and that

307
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: has obviously implications for how we train our forces. And

308
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: that's what this announcement follows through on. I mean, this

309
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: process began several years ago and when it was first scoped,

310
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: and that scoping changed significantly after the middle of last year,

311
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: and that's why it is now, as you say, the

312
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: investment of some seven hundred and forty seven million. The

313
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: cost didn't change, the work changed. The scale of what

314
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: we're doing changed and where we want to do it

315
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: and in particular down at Bradshaw, I mean what we're

316
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: able to do. And Bradshaw is one of the most

317
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: unique training facilities for our forces anywhereund the world, and

318
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: that's true for the Americans who are also here. And

319
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: what we've been limited in doing there relates to medical

320
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: evacuations and things of that nature. So the sort of

321
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 3: things we're doing is putting that sort of facility in

322
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: place there, which means we can use those training areas

323
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: much more than we were before, and that means the

324
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: joint operability of our forces with the Americans is far

325
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: more possible. And so this just means that our forces

326
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: can be as ready as they can be for whatever

327
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: particular threat we have to address. And so I'm not

328
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: overstating anyone I mean threat or any issue. We scan

329
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: the horizon and we understand what Australia's national interests are

330
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: and then we equip our forces accordingly. But the purpose

331
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: of our defense forces are peace. The purposes of having

332
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: a defense forces to ensure really, at the end of

333
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: the day that you would hope you would never have

334
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: to deploy them. Sadly, we've had to deploy in many cases,

335
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: and we're just in the stages of our final withdraw

336
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: out Afghanistan. There be many vets up here and those

337
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: have served who served in Afghanistan, and on Anzac Day

338
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: we particularly remembered those forty one Australians who lost their

339
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: lives in Afghanistan, and I know that has been a

340
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: very demanding and difficult time for veterans and that announcement

341
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: I know would have had a big.

342
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: Impact on them.

343
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: Prime Minister, whenever we talk about our relationship with China,

344
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: the Darwin Port is always something that's raised. In fact,

345
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, in my time in this role, when that

346
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: lease first happened, it was something that we were in undated.

347
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: We'd talked back callers about people were really very concerned

348
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: about that lease. The Lise has still got ninety years

349
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: to go with the land Bridge Group. Are you looking

350
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: at that current contract to see if it does well,

351
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: if it is in the national interest and really whether

352
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: we should have our lease to a Chinese company, Well,

353
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: not the territory.

354
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: Government, you know at the time were the ones who

355
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: entered into that lease and the Conwath government had no

356
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: role in that process. We had no veto role in

357
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: the sale the lease of the Darwin Port, none whatsoever.

358
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: And so that was a decision of the former Northern

359
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: Territory government, not the Comonwealth government. And I know Anthony

360
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: Albanezi likes to put that around, it's just not true.

361
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: The Comonwealth government, I no other minister had a role

362
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: in that lease. It was done locally here. What we

363
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: did is because the Commonwealth didn't have a power to

364
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: do that is I worked with the States and territories

365
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 3: then as treasure to make sure that in the future

366
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 3: any common Wealth government would have that power.

367
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: And the Treasurer does now have that power.

368
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: If you had that power at the time, would you

369
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: have allowed it to happen?

370
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: Well, look, I wasn't getting the briefs on the issue

371
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: at the time, and the Defense Forces, the then Secretary,

372
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: mister Richardson, had made a number of comments to the

373
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: then Northern Territory government. And whether that reflected more broadly

374
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: that the advice the Defense Department would have provided to

375
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: the Comonwalth.

376
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: It's hard to say.

377
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 3: I can't go back in a time machine, but I

378
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: can tell you this every decision I've ever made when

379
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: it comes when I was Treasurer, and that was to

380
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: say no to the Kidman transaction, to say no it's

381
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: a major energy investments in a range of other things.

382
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: Of those decisions were based on protecting Australia's national interests

383
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: and I.

384
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: Would always do that now.

385
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: If there was any ever change to the assessment about

386
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: the national interest to implications of operations at that port

387
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: or what is happening there, you could expect me to

388
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 3: take action on that. But that is not something that

389
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: has been presented to me or suggested to me.

390
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: What do you think the reaction from China would be.

391
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't speculate. I don't think it's helpful to

392
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: speculate about decisions that the government hasn't taken. I think

393
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: it's important the government acts and the national interest listens

394
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: to our defense and intelligence and security advisors when it.

395
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: Comes to these.

396
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 3: I mean people in Darwin would understand it's not the

397
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: whole port area of Darwin. I mean it has a name,

398
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: the Port of Dahowan, but it's actually not the whole

399
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: port area of Darwin. It's a section of it, and

400
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: that the military and defense capabilities are not compromised by that,

401
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: and that's understood. But I understand the perception here. But

402
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: what has to determine our decisions has to be the

403
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: national in and it has to be based on proper

404
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: advice from defense and security and intelligence agencies.

405
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: Prime Minister, we are getting the hurry up. So I

406
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: do just want to ask you very briefly about funding

407
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: for remote police stations. This is something that Senator Sam

408
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: McMahon has spoken to us about on numerous occasions. The

409
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: funding agreement is due to expire next year. The Police

410
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: Association has said on this show that should that funding

411
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: be ceased, some remote stations would shut overnight. Is the

412
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: federal government's intention here to continue with that funding.

413
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I am concerned about this.

414
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: I mean, we put the funding in place for all

415
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: those right reasons because of what wasn't happening here at

416
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 3: a territory level. So the Colmworth once again had to

417
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 3: sort of step up and fill the gap. Now Lee

418
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: has also been raising this way. I met with Lee

419
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 3: yesterday and this was one of the most important issues

420
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: she raised with me. She's been very focused on law

421
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: and order issues up here in the territory. Had a

422
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: great meeting also with the Chief Minister yesterday. As we're

423
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: talking about some other issues, but when it comes to

424
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 3: this law and order issue, we're very conscious of it.

425
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 3: Sam's been raising it a well and so you know we'll

426
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 3: be looking at that very carefully. I understand the great

427
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: work that's been done in those communities. I think what

428
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 3: the territory police do in difficult circumstances, and we've just

429
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: I mean I've only just been brief before coming in

430
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 3: here on the terrible, the terrible circumstances in one of

431
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: those communities just just recently, just over the last night,

432
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: and that that I think that just makes you shudder.

433
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: And so clearly there's a very strong need and I'm

434
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: not one to look the other way when it comes

435
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: to the need when it comes to law enforcement.

436
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: So really leaving the door open there in terms of

437
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: that funding.

438
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair way to put it.

439
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: We will have to wrap up. I really appreciate you

440
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: both coming into the studio with the this morning, Senator

441
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: Sam McMahon. Always good to catch up with you, and

442
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: thank you Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Mate. I understand you

443
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: had a beer last night with.

444
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 3: Merv hughs did well. It wasn't it wasn't planned. I

445
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: worked in there and there's big nerve at the table.

446
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: He's been out fishing. And what was even funnier is

447
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: but I mean when I had a chat and about

448
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: a number of things. He's a lovely fellow and his

449
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: mates who were there, but he was still there when

450
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: I left.

451
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: Much later that I.

452
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: Didn't run into my producer Ronnie. I think she's got

453
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: a chair just about aftercab. Thank you so great.

454
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 3: It's great to be looking forward to coming back. National

455
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: Cabinets meeting up here in July, so we'll be back

456
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: here and that will have a very significant focus on

457
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: women's safety and as well as women's economic security, and

458
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: so we're looking forward to that meeting and I'm looking

459
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:34,800
