1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Jub mission with Jones and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 2: I really feel with the push to get Australia vaccinated, 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 2: there are two prongs to this. One is the medical 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: prong is you do not want to get COVID. Let's 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: protect ourselves from COVID, so get vaccinated. No, that's right, 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 2: and you can still get it if you've been vaccinated, 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: but you'll have a lesser dose. And the more vaccinated 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 2: we all are, the less likely we are that new 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 2: variants will come through and copy it that way. But 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: the other side to it now, and this is how 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 2: our society, how our government is pivoting, is we're going 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: to need to be vaccinated if you want to actually 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 2: have a life now. So there's a medical side and 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: then there's pragmatic side. If you want to get on 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: a flight, if you want to go to a restaurant, 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: if you want to visit your family in other parts 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 2: of Australia, you're going to have to be double vaccinated. 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: So for the vaxx hesitant, that would be a real push. 19 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: I imagine to get a vaccination passport. 20 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Because I think there's a bunch of people called and 21 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: I call them vaccinais oh I made that up. They're 22 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: sort of like they're not really aware of the situation. 23 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: But now you're going to have to be double vaxed 24 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: if you want to take advantage of a whole lot 25 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: of stuff that society will offer you. As I said, flights, 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: being able to leave your home and rejoin society. This 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: is how society is choosing to deal with this. And 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: one of the big pushes is a vax the nation 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: push that's been fronted by a whole lot of musicians. 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 2: More than two hundred Australian artists and performers have joined 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: forces with tour managers, music festivals, comedy producers, streaming platforms, 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: opera companies, all of the performing arts that have been 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 2: shut down because of lockdown. It's fronted by this incredible 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: song by powder Finger, the entire state of. 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: The lockdown, state wide lockdown. 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, the footage is fantastic. This is the music festival 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: version of the quantus at is to get the goosebumps going. 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 2: It's people en mass jumping up and down at a 39 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 2: concert because, as we all know, some of our favorite 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: moments in our lives, the pure happiness of your life 41 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: is hearing your favorite band when you're surrounded by your friends, 42 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: and that really recreates that, doesn't it. 43 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I remember seeing Coaches or just didn't. What 44 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: was a February of last year in Orange and that 45 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: was such a great comp such a great show, and 46 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: it actually was a distraction because that was when the 47 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: pandemic was just starting to emerge. 48 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: Well, think of your favorite concert. I remember standing it's 49 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: pouring with rain, but I was in the Hunter Valley 50 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: watching Fleetwood mac with surrounded by friends. Could that be 51 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: any better? Even when we had to see Neil Diamond 52 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: at I think where were we at the Home Bush? 53 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: And just I had four or five friends in mynor 54 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: We held hands, cry through every song.
