1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: Queensland government asking for tourism helped us it pass the

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: pub test.

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 3: Oh Anastasia Palachet has called on the Morrison government to

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 3: extend Job Keeper because duh, the Queensland tourism industry is struggling,

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 3: particularly after state borders closed with New South Wales over

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: the Christmas holidays. These statistics are interesting here, she said,

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: looking for them into state travel normally injects ten billion

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: dollars year into Queensland. Forty percent of that comes from

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 3: New South Wales travelers. And we're not talking about necessarily

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: that first lockdown, where understandable all of Australia, you know,

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: locked itself down. This is at second lockdown during Christmas

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: where we had a small outbreak at the Northern Beaches.

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: David Little Proud from his Federal Libs he said this.

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 5: In Queensland, I can tell you in regional Queensland, North Queensland,

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 5: they're feeling the front of this and in fact they're

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 5: seeing cancelations costing two hundred and fifty million dollars just

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 5: alone in the with Sunday regions. So these are enormous

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 5: numbers and this is why we've said from the start.

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 5: The best way to deal with this is through science,

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 5: and the science tells us you should have localized lockdowns,

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 5: not lockdown entire borders. Have hard border closures.

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: Not some sort of yocal committee. Anastasia Palichet said earlier,

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: you are.

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 6: A New South Wales resident in Greater Sydney, please do

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 6: not come to Queensland.

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: Then next minute she says, here in Cannes.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 6: At the moment I met with tourism operators yesterday, they're

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 6: really feeling at the moment they had a good Christmas.

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 6: But now kids are back to school. So if anyone's

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 6: down there in New South Wales or Victoria and you're

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 6: thinking about having a holiday, come up to Cannes. Everyone

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 6: is here ready and willing to welcome you with open

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 6: arms and a friendly smile.

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: Now that everyone's gone back to school, everyone's gone back

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: over this Christmas holidays where you just went bang.

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: You look at Christmas time for us, you went up

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: to New South so you're up awa from.

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: From I went on the fifteenth to the twenty third.

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: I booked that in February and had my fingers crossed

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: all year because my dad's eighty seven. I was having

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: a family holiday. Finally the border has opened. I was

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: there for two three days I think, and the border

44
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: has closed again. The local real estate agency who we

45
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: rented this place from, so friendly. Yes, yes, yes, three

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: days in there's a sign on their door saying if

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: you're from Sydney, don't come in.

48
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: It's crazy.

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: And we were booked to go to NUSA from the

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: twenty seventh of December through to about the eighth of January,

51
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: and then so in the space of you coming back,

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden we couldn't go there. So what's

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: to say that that's not going to happen again. What's

54
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: to say but this little yocal committee of Hillbilly sits

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: around and.

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: Goes, oh, you know, we're going to close the border again.

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: I accept that the premier makes decisions for her state,

58
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: but these are the implications of decisions you made. Having

59
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: said that these are small businesses that are being punished

60
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: by her policy, she's asking the taxpayer, the national taxpayer,

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: to help. Now, So what do you think. So one

62
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: minute you're saying don't come. Next minute she's saying, come

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: on up now, and we need your help.

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: So this is what she said just about a month

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: and a half ago.

66
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 6: You are a New South Wales resident in Greater Sydney,

67
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 6: please do not come to Queensland. Then, So, if anyone's

68
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 6: down there in New South Wales or Victoria and you're

69
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 6: thinking about having a holiday, come up to Cannes. Everyone

70
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 6: is here ready and willing to welcome you with open

71
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 6: arms to a friendly smile.

72
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: I would do it.

73
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: Sure, I'd love to go up there and have a

74
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: four x and look at a croc. But I don't

75
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: trust one minute she's.

76
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 6: This, come up to Cannes and then she's please do

77
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 6: not come to Queensland.

78
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: It is like because she's gone for Katy Perry on.

79
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: This teenage dream, no hot and but also you know

80
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: those people in cans were desperate for our money then too, ye,

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: and it's not their fault she slammed the border shut.

82
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: But now yes she's asking for national help. So what

83
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: do you think the Queensland government asking for tourism help?

84
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: Does this pass the pub test?

85
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: Because she hasn't given any of us any special advantages

86
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: to go up there and have time with friends and family, said,

87
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: why the hell should we do anything for her?

88
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 7: Palaso played politics of the lockdown to get reelected.

89
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Now they're you know, suffering the consequences for their choices.

90
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 7: She's only open the border because she's realized how much

91
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 7: money they've lost by not letting the southern tourists come

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 7: up as they normally do every year. And Queensland might

93
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 7: not like this coming up there, but their terurist who

94
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 7: kind of depends on.

95
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: It, she caused this whole situation. She collectively said, the

96
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: whole of Sydney. I live nowhere near the hotspot, yet

97
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: we were roped into it. Do not give Queensland one cent.

98
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: Make them suffer it out. They've lost our dollar.

99
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 8: She's so inconsistent. You know, you don't know where you stand.

100
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: This is just the result of political power play, and

101
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: now that they're paying the price for it, they want

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: everybody else to pay.

103
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 8: Queensland has I think, shown a picture of being a

104
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 8: little bit special and different to the rest of Australia state.

105
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 8: I don't think they're any different in the tourism suffering

106
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 8: world than any other stated in Australia. So it has

107
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 8: to be the shame for everyone.

108
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: Like I said, the fool Katy Perry, she kissed a

109
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: girl and she liked one.

110
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's
