1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gam Nation when.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: New South Wales will be the first state in Australia

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: to allow pharmacists to renew some prescriptions. This is part

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: of a fast track plan to make it easier for

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: people to access important medical medication and treatments, and under

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 2: a re elected coalition government, they've promised cheaper visits for

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: women to their pharmacists for the contraceptive pill and u

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: TI treatments. To tell us more is a premier himself.

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: Dominic Perrote, Good morning, Premier money.

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: MANA morning Jazie. How are you going good?

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 3: Thanks? Dominic has ellen go? We heard that she's in hospital.

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: Everything okay, Yeah, she's recovering well. So she had a

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: bit of a tim injury, but a bit of a

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: saw back, but she's back on her feet and all

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: going well.

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 2: And I hear that your daughter, Beatrice is she's three

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: years old. She's hit the road with you as a

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: mini advisor.

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: She did yesterday. We couldn't get a babysitter and so

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: when it was the day off three schools, so she

21
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: came on the road and she had she had a

22
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Did she thinks com thank it's for large?

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Did she got some lego, did you get it to

24
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: stand behind you just nodding away as you were learning

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 3: our policies.

26
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: I should never do that.

27
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: Now. This is very interesting, isn't it, Because I know

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: there was a debate about this has been going on

29
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: for the last few months, and I'm assuming that you

30
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: can't go to the pharmacist and get stuff that you

31
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: need to see your doctor for. But it's just if

32
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: it's prescription renewal or subscription renewal, then that's a different thing.

33
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: Well that's right, a Maana. This is just a common

34
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: sense approach to make it easier for families. And we

35
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: know it's very difficult for people to get access to

36
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: a GP and pharmacists during the pandemic played a very

37
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: important role in with our vaccination program. So what we're

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: saying is we're giving pharmacists the ability to issue prescriptions

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: for treatments for UTIs, for antibiotics, and also for repeat

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: scripts for contraception. So this is just about making it easier,

41
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: making it cheaper for families. Across New South Wales, we

42
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: have pharmacists somers in every corner. They trained medical professionals

43
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: non complex issues and we think it'll make a real

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: difference of families across our state getting rid of some

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: of that red tape.

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if this works, will it be expanded to

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: other kinds of prescriptions as well.

48
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'd like to see. I mean, this

49
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: is a twelve month trial and it's the first in

50
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: the country in terms of being statewide. But we think

51
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: it just makes sense. And for many people we know,

52
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: and for many women at UTIs, for example, they can't

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: see a GP because they can't get access, they end

54
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: up potentially going to the emergency department, the issue becomes worse.

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: So this is just about making it easier for people

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: to go to a pharmacist to get antibiotics and also

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: as well to get our doctor's certificates through that process.

58
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: In living memory, I can't think of an election that

59
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: is so close between the leaders because you guys are

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: yourself and Chris Men's seem like normal, reasonable guys. And

61
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: I must say with that.

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 2: As a throwing your Joe's thrown me off, because.

63
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: Usually when the election comes up, there's one one guy,

64
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: Well he's a nut, he's not going to win it.

65
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: That is not the case. That is not the case.

66
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: What we're looking at now and particularly government.

67
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: You both were very good men, I think.

68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: With these and you do seem very reasonable with each other.

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: But with the Labour's toll rebate thing, that that is

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: a game changer as far as this election goes. And

71
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: I dare say that he's got a better policy on

72
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: this than you.

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: Guys. Well, we've got a significant program in place in

74
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: terms of totra relief Jonesy, so you can get forty

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: percent back off your tolls and Labour's policy only affects

76
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: two percent of motorists. So you know, what we want

77
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: is a balanced approach and we know cost of living

78
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: is a real issue and that's why we've got We've

79
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: got a range of measures in place and I'd say

80
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: to your listeners today to go to the Service in

81
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: South Wales website where there's a whole range of vouchers

82
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: that are there. Our back to school voucher I know

83
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: isn't massive hit with parents across New South Wales. They

84
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: we're going to begetting the obviously kid back to school,

85
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: getting access to funding for school uniforms and school shoes,

86
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: all those things, and there's a whole range there to

87
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: active kids about to get kids playing sport, so there's

88
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a whole range of measures through service in New South Wales.

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: You want to put downward pressure on household budgets. We

90
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: know it's becoming a more challenging time in terms of

91
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: balancing balancing making ends meet at the moment with a

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: rising inflation and rising interest rates. So I'm also concerned

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: well about long term financial security as well, because we

94
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: as a government and as a people, we've got to

95
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: get through the short term challenges we've had, but we

96
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: can't lose sight of the future. We've got to continue

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: to build the metros, the motorways, the schools, the hospitals,

98
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: make sure that we leave our place here in New

99
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: South Wales a much better place in twenty thirty years

100
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: than it is today.

101
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: It's bad timing. We're only a month out from the election.

102
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: There've been a couple of incidents. You've recently had to

103
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: disindorse MP Peter pull Us after sharing a photo sharing

104
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: scandal saw him emailing explicit photos of a female rival

105
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: five years ago. New South Wales Finance Minister Damien Tude

106
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: Hope he has admitted that he shares. He has shares

107
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: in Transurban while he was the Finance Minister he said

108
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: that was in a life insurance portfolio and he wasn't

109
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: aware of that. But these are big frustrations for you

110
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: so close to an election.

111
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Well commanded, they're not great, but you know these things.

112
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: These things happen in politics and there are some things

113
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: that are outside your control. You accept that and my

114
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: focus each and every day's Premier of New South Wales

115
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: is delivering our long term economic plan to keep taking

116
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: our state and our people forward. So these things happen, like,

117
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: I can't control everything in those matters, but what I

118
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: can control is what I'm doing every day, and that's

119
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: looking after our people.

120
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess because the behavior and yes, behavior and

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: corruption are such big things now for New South Wales voters.

122
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: They do want to see that stuff trounced.

123
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: No, no, they don't, and I have I have the

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: higher standards in terms of my parliamentary team and my

125
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: expectations are that everybody is completely appropriate in terms of

126
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: their dealings. And from time to time people make mistakes

127
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: and errors and that's unacceptable, particularly in relation of workplace practices,

128
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: whether it's bulling or anything else. We live in a

129
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: tolerant society. We need to make sure particularly as politicians

130
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: that we set a very high standard, an example for

131
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: workplaces across New South Wales.

132
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: Well, good luck with the election cave up, Well, no doubt.

133
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you as we get closer. Maybe Beatrice

134
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: could run like the Finance departments.

135
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: Monopoly.

136
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: She did pretty well, She did pretty well yesterday, So

137
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: let's say I.

138
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: Just could be a thing. Dominic perrote, thank you for

139
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: joining us, Thank your Premier, Thanks guys for you
