Speaker 2: left out of work because of this pandemic have got

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: behind a campaign. And in the same way that the

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: Quantus ad shows people getting on a plane and a

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: thrill of us finding our feet again, this showed people

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: in concerts, jumping up and down, hanging out with their friends,

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: sharing the music, the.

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: Entire set of the lockdown, the state wide lockdown happiness.

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: Indeed, hashtag vax the Nation and stop the interruptions. And

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: as I said, four hundred musicians and musical types and

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: theater types, industry types have put their names to this.

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: Bernard Fanning, the Black Sorrows, Boom Croch Opera, Midnight Oil,

18
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: Human Nature, and Guy Sebastian his name's on this list

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: yesterday though, Guy, on the day where this was launched,

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: where everyone was talking about it, we wanted to feel

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: the spirit of that Quantus ad Yes, let's get back

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: on track. Guy went onto his social media and.

23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: Did this, Hello everybody, I just wanted to jump on

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 4: here just to clear something up. I'm sure that today

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 4: some of you might have seen an industry call out

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 4: with the best of intentions for our live music industry,

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: which has been absolutely decimated, trying to find a pathway

28
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: forward so that we can all assemble together again. I've

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: always done everything that I can to support my industry,

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: but the campaign was posted to my page without my

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 4: direct involvement, and whilst I, like everybody else in my industry,

32
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: I want things to get going again, it is not

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: my role to communicate in the way that that post

34
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: was communicating. I would never ever tell people what to

35
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: do when it comes to their personal health choices. I'm

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: very sensitive of it, not only on a public level,

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: but even in my personal life with people who have

38
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: circumstances that they have to consider when making these choices.

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: So I just want to say I'm really sorry. It

40
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 4: was not a post that communicated with larval compassion, which

41
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 4: I feel is what's needed when it comes to addressing

42
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: things like vaccinations and so yeah, I just wanted to

43
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: clarify that so that I could speak my truth and

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: people knew how I actually feel. So lots of love.

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Everyone's going to speak their truth.

46
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: And it's been pointed out as he said there, you know,

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to tell people what to do with

48
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: the health. He does break vitamins for.

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Living lots of those guy vaccinated.

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: He's double vaccinated.

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: Then that's the thing.

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: What has happened?

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: What has happened since agreeing to be part of this?

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: Did he get some backlash?

55
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: You can't look at you You can't look at your

56
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: social media stuff. When someone like that, you feed it,

57
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: you don't read it. Because it's like if we had

58
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: people commenting on everything we did on this radio show.

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure we do, but it's not going to make

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: the boat go.

61
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: Faster and it doesn't affect our bottom line. A lot

62
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: of people are saying, well, has he found out this

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: will affect his record sales? But now there's such a

64
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: backlash against what he said there that that might double pylon.

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: A lot of people are saying, get off the fence, guy.

66
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: I saw that. Ben Lee has said, Look, I don't

67
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: know enough about science. I don't know enough about epidemiology.

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to I certainly don't want Barry from

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: Byron making these decisions for our entire society. It's a

70
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: pretty good shot to let the scientists take the wheel

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: on this one. It's like the whole ad campaign started

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: yesterday and guy has somehow let the air out of

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: the tires. Come on, I guess why.

74
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I see where he is coming.

75
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Where's he coming?

76
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Well, he's coming from a place of fear.

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: But then he signed on initially, yeah, but you can,

78
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: and he must have had some backlash.

79
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: But once you draw that line in the sand and

80
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: we support vaccination, I've got it. My family's got everyone's

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: got it. We're okay. No one died.

82
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: The thing is people are dying.

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: No, but no one died from in our family from

84
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: having the vaccines. See, this is the thing. The plane

85
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: is crashing. Okay, I wouldn't normally skydive if the I

86
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. But if the plane's crashing, someone says, mate,

87
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: you might want to take this parachute. I'm taking the parachute.

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: That That's been my attitude from day one and when

89
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: we first got into this mess. Remember back in March

90
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, we're going, well, we can't wait to

91
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: get a vaccine.

92
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: We were taken anything, and it's this hesitancy that will

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: kill us because there's the latest findings are that herd

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: immunity may not work with COVID, meaning that we can't

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: those sort of people can't rely on enough of us

96
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: being vaccinated to get them through. You are going to

97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: need to be vaccinated to, you know, to to fight this,

98
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: and we're high vaccination rate.

99
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: It's not going to be compulsory to get vaccinated. In history,

100
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: it's never been compulsory to be vaccinated. But you're going

101
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: to have to do it.

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: And just even if you don't, you know, you're slightly

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: hesitant pragmatically what you know, if you want to see

104
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: a Guy Sebastian concert, you're gonna have to be double vaxed.

105
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: That's the irony.

106
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: Wow, put us down on that list. I know we

107
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: can't go on the list. It's entertainment.

108
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: Jonesy and Amanda's
