1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday, and welcome to the daily Ours. Today is 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: the fourteenth of September, and before we jump into the 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: day's news, here's a quick COVID rap Yesterday in New 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: South Wales there were twelve hundred and fifty seven new cases. 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: In Victoria there were four hundred and seventy three new cases, 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: and in the Act there were thirteen new cases. We 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: also found out a bit more about what travel will 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: look like yesterday. Sam take us through what the digital 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: border Pass is going to look like. 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: We are just getting used to checking in, We're going 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: to get used to showing our vaccination status. But now 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: we're going to have a new digital border pass. It's 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: going to include your vaccination status and it's going to 14 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: be made by Eccentia, one of the world's largest technology 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 2: consulting firms. They won the tender to automate the process 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: of entering Australia. This new digital system will link in 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: with the qr Code vaccination Certificate and give digital permission 18 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: for vaccinated individuals to enter Australia. 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: There was an article yesterday published by the ABC that 20 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: said that the New South Wales government waited two days 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: to lockdown Sydney after health authorities discovered that they hadn't 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: contained the West Hoxton super spread a party so New 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: South Wales knew on June twenty fourth that the cluster 24 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: was not contained, but New South Wales Health announced stay 25 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: at home orders on June twenty fifth, and then extended 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: the lockdown in Greater Sydney on June twenty sixth. It 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: was revealed contact traces discovered on June twenty fourth that 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: a number of the party guests were missed and have 29 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: actually spent at least five days in the community after 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: being exposed to COVID nineteen. This was all ascertained from 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: an answer to a question on notice during a parliamentary inquiry. 32 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: Now, I don't believe we have talked about this country 33 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 2: in the news this year, but over the weekend, North 34 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: Korea carried out successful tests of long range cruise missiles 35 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: that flew fifteen hundred kilometers before hitting their target and 36 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: falling into the country's territorial waters. These weapons have been 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: in development for two years, and this latest test comes 38 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: amidst stalled talks between the US and North Korea over 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: dismantling north as nuclear and ballistic missile programs. In return, 40 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: for sanctions relief. Remember, sanctions are the ban on the 41 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 2: importing of goods from overseas. Talks have remained in gridlock 42 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: since the Trump days in twenty nineteen. 43 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: The good news is that from Monday next week, twelve 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: to fifteen year olds in the Act will be able 45 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: to book their COVID nineteen vaccine appointments. The twelve to 46 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: fifteen year old cohort will be able to receive either 47 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: the Maderna vaccine from participating pharmacies or the fires of 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: vaccine from those gps who are administering it. Maderna is 49 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: expected to be available from those pharmacies from September twentieth. 50 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: People had their views, but the fact is in our 51 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: lee's part of our caucus, as is ed Husick, we 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: have two people, one from a Botanian background, one from 53 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: an Egyptian background, both of whom represent the whole of 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 3: their communities in their electorates, but importantly as well a 55 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: part of the diversity we have in our parliament. 56 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: So that was a grab of the Opposition leader Anthony 57 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: Alberi speaking about the diversity that is among Labour's ranks 58 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: and the reason that he was being questioned about diversity 59 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: in the Labor Party was because of an announcement that 60 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: came last Friday. Last Friday, Christina Kanneely, who is currently 61 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: a New South Wales Senator and was formerly the Premier 62 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: of the state, announced that she would be running for 63 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: pre selection in the seat of Fowler. 64 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: All Right, so slowing this down a little bit, can 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: you explain quickly what pre selection is? 66 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: So pre selection is the process by which a political 67 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: candidate is selected, and that's by a party, So the Libs, 68 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: the Nats, Labor and the Greens as well as all 69 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: of those other minor parties pre select candidates for seats 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: across the country. I always say that a good way 71 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 1: to think about it is that pre selection is sort 72 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: of the internal election before the big external election that 73 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: we see happening, like the federal election that is to 74 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: happen before May next year. So preselections are a very 75 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: routine part of the political process. And the reason that 76 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: people are paying attention to this preselection in particular is 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: because of a number of reasons. Firstly, and this is 78 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: extremely Canberra bubbly, so it doesn't necessarily translate to the 79 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: normal people of Australia. But there's been a bit of 80 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: internal fighting between deb O'Neill, who is also a new 81 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: South Wales Senator, and Christina Kanneely about who will get 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: the number one spot on the Senate ticket at the 83 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: next election. The number one spot is basically the assured spot, 84 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: so you know that you will be re elected, and 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: they were both fighting for that and it now seems 86 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: as though Christina Kanneely has left that battle and has 87 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: nominated to put herself forward for pre selection in Fowler. 88 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: Fowler is an extremely culturally diverse electorate in the west 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: of Sydney that is currently held by Chris Hayes. He 90 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: announced that he was retiring at the next election because 91 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: of reasons. So Hayes, who is the current sitting member, 92 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: publicly backed a Vietnamese Australian migrant lawyer to Lee to 93 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: replace him in the seat. So the sitting member had 94 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: endorsed somebody for pre selection. Then last Friday, Christina Kanneely, 95 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: who does not live in the electorate, she lives in 96 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: the Northern Beaches, she announced that she was also going 97 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: to contest this pre selection and there's been a pretty 98 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: strong reaction in the community and also in the Labor Party, 99 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: with a lot of people talking about the diversity of 100 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: the party and who has given certain opportunities to succeed 101 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: and rise in the ranks of the Labor Party. Of course, 102 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: this is not unique to the Labor Party. It is 103 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: characteristic of many parts of our political system, but it's 104 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: been exemplified in this latest story. 105 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: Do we have any idea about how the local community 106 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: in the electorate of Fowler feel about Knneely? Is she 107 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: looking likely to win pre selection? 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: It's pretty much a given that whoever runs for Labor 109 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: will win the seat. It's an extremely safe seat. So 110 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: a safe seat is when a political party or an 111 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: independent holds the seat with a really safe margin or 112 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: a really big margin. So in this case, the post 113 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: election margin that Labor holds the seat of Fowler is 114 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: at fourteen percent at the last election, Chris Hayes, who 115 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: I said, is the sitting member one sixty four percent 116 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: of the vote. So that's a bit of an indication 117 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: as to how strongly this electorate votes for Labor. These 118 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: preselection battles are going to continue for both of the 119 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: major parties over the coming months as we prepare for 120 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: a federal election. It's a really good indicator that we're 121 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: coming close. When these preselections really heat up, there'll be 122 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: many seats that will be watching and as we approach 123 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: the next election, we will keep you updated until then. 124 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: You can find us on Instagram at the Daily OS. 125 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: It's where over two hundred and fifteen thousand Australians get 126 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: their news throughout the day and we'd love you to 127 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: come check out our page.
