1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Job mission with Joines and Amanda got.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: With the borders reopening in Queensland, that would be the

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: end of that.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Well, the borders of open South Australia for vaccinated people

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: double vaxed Queensland at eighty percent. Their premier has said

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: that would be opening on the seventeenth of December. It

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: seems that that may open as soon as December sixth

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: when they get to their eighty percent. If you've promised

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: you eighty percent, then you pretty much have to deliver

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: on that. But here is the thing that a lot

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: of people don't know, and this is what I'm going

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: to have to do to go and visit my family

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: in Queensland, even if this is after the opening date.

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: Even if you're double vaccinated, you have to have a

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: COVID test and not your normal COVID test. You can't

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: just go to the free government drive through ones because

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: the government won't pay for you to go on a holiday.

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: They'll pay to keep you safe and keep you at

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: work and things like that. But this is another PCR

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: test it's called that has to be done through a

21
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: private pathology clinic.

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: The ones that we go to around here, they're all

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: private pathology clinics.

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Well, I guess so, but they're drive through and there's yeah,

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: but there's no money charging facility. You have to pay

26
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: to have this and they're not set up to do that.

27
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: It's gouging.

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Well, you have to pay one hundred and forty five

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: dollars what for a COVID test three days before you're

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: free to travel. And it's as we say, the rapid

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: antigen testing that has been used in many other places

32
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: is not being recognized there. And you can't just go

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: and get your one at the local drive through and

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: show that on your phone and say, look, I've had

35
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: a clear COVID test. You have to get a specific

36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: PCR test. It's called one hundred and forty five dollars each.

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: So say you're a family of four and you've booked

38
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: just you just want a quick, cheap, cheap trip to

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Queensland and the tourism industry there's begging for you to come.

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: So you've got a cheap flight sat through jet Star

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: or Virgin whatever, and you're going to go and stand

42
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: on the Gold Coast. If you're a family of four,

43
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you have to pay around six hundred dollars to get

44
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: these tests done. Wow, if you're a Queen's Lane resident,

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: you're coming to New South Wales, you've got to get

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: that done before you can go home.

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: We're thing you go, I'm seeing the in laws because

48
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: I've given up on going to Queensland. But the in

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: laws live at Tweed Heads.

50
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Just on the border there.

51
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: But they live literally next door to the airport. But

52
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: you've got to go into the Gold Coast to get

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: to their place. And would that apply to me? Yeah,

54
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 2: so I don't have to pay it.

55
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: So you can't go through security border the border the

56
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: security there without showing this.

57
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: So if a fly over there, you'd have to present

58
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: that and then you oh that's mental.

59
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: It is and it's really hard a lot of families.

60
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Is a family here saying we're a family of seven

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: cost over one thousand bucks, Yeah for us to go

62
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: and see family, So everyone like me, I haven't seen

63
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: my dad for a year. You know, it's and there

64
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: are people obviously doing it harder than I am. I'm

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: not complaining about the financial side of it.

66
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: I'm lucky.

67
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: No, but it's really a pain in the neck and

68
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: for many many families this will stop their holiday.

69
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: How is this test? This is the question I would ask,

70
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: how is this test different to the one? So does

71
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: that mean that all the tests that we have around

72
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: here there are moot tests? Ah, that's a government thing.

73
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the point is the government won't pay for

74
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: you to be cleared to go on a holiday.

75
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: But I've gone and have that test that's just up

76
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: the road from here, and no one's asked if I'm

77
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: on holidays or I'm working. I think I just go

78
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: and do that.

79
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: That's right. But Queensland and the other states aren't doing this.

80
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: Only Queensland won't let you come in. That's right. You

81
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: could probably get this one and go on a plane

82
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: to anywhere else.

83
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: No wonder people are protesting. This is why. This is why.

84
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: But this is why. You know, they're making it impossible.

85
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: We've jumped through every hoop. I've done all the right things.

86
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: All my family's vaccinated. I've done everything because you trust

87
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: the government. But then they do this bullshit and you

88
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: just go, well, what what is that? That's ridiculous?

89
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: You make it any hard.

90
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: I just don't understand. If you're going to go to

91
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: a private pathology place, it's going to be Douglas Handley

92
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: more or it's going to be levity.

93
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: But you're paying for it.

94
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: It makes no sense. That is makes absolutely not.

95
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Because because the difference is they're not paying for you

96
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: to go on holidays. They'll pay for you to have

97
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: the test otherwise, But this she wants for holiday makers

98
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: or just I guess if you're just traveling there, even

99
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: if you're working there, I wonder what the difference is,

100
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: even if you once Queensland opens officially opens its borders.

101
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: This isn't even going before the official opening. This is

102
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: after they're officially opened and you're double vaxed. You have

103
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: to do this.

104
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm going to ride my bike up to

105
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Tweetheads this time, but the family all on.

106
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: My bike, like you're living in Thailand.

107
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: I can do a long drive on a motorbike. I

108
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: just can't do it in a car. That one last

109
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: year really killed me. Just it's the most soulless drive

110
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: because I've got all that expressway now, so you're just

111
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: driving along.

112
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: Well, you know, and all those families who've waited till

113
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the end of this year to see family members, and

114
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: then there's.

115
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: This who do we complain to about this?

116
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: Well, you've winged to me, and I think that's enough Okay,

117
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's
