1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's been a big couple of weeks since we

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: last cut up with our premier. I thought it was

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: time to do that again, Gladys piogically in good Morning premiere.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Hello Gladys, how you the story to Amanda?

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 4: We're working on your intro and we have your intro

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 4: right now which we're playing, but Amanda suggested this one

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 4: as your new intro.

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: Do you remember Hush glad all over.

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: Glad Gladys? Is it working for you in any way?

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: Premiere?

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: The song is so I love music at any time,

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: So it's working for.

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: I think in this me too era as well?

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: You know, come on well saying I don't mean to

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: be feeling glad alone, I don't push the link. Absolutely

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: exactly what we can I ask you this premiere. It

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: seems that with the protest in the CBD last weekend,

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: the fact that was approved has made a lot of

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: people think, okay, you know what, I'm sick of the

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: rules too. How come it applies to them that they

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: can amass in numbers like this and I can't where

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: do we draw the line here? Well, how do we

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: deal with people who just wanted all to be over.

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Can I please some stress to everybody, But that was

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: illegal technicality. It wasn't an issue based on health risk.

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: When the judge looked at those issues, they had to

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: look at the legal technicalities around it. It wasn't to

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: do with the health risks. Can I please stress to

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: everybody We're doing well only because everybody has stuck to

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: the rules. And I want to assure everybody that even

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: today I'll be announcing that the more easing of restrictions,

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: and then over the next few days there'll be more announcements.

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: So please know we're definitely in the space of easing restrictions,

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: but doing it in a COVID safe way. Because around

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: the world, a lot of countries got confidence, they opened

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: everything up and then they had to shut everything back

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: down again. We never want to be in that position

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: every time we opened something. And I want to thank

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: all the businesses that have been working with It's have

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: been amazing. Thousands have downloaded the checklist. But every time

42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: we make an announcement about a restriction, we've been working

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: with businesses saying this is what you need to do

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: to be COVID safe, and a lot of the businesses

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: have been kicking off the checklist and then are able

46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: to be opened. And I know gyms and a lot

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: of other businesses are opening from this Saturday, which is

48
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: exciting for people. A lot of restaurants and cafes have

49
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: be open now. It can take up to at least

50
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: fifty people can take fifty people depending on how large

51
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: they are. So long as during the easing of restrictions,

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: people keep that one and a half meter distance, People

53
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: are careful where they put their hands and make sure

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: they keep washing their hands. And also the most important thing.

55
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: The reason why we are more confident about easing restrictions

56
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: is because people are coming forward and getting tested, so

57
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: we know the colder season to hear people are likely

58
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: to get blue like symptoms. Donosym is the blue, donosyme

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: is the cold. Please get tested. That will allow us

60
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: to know that when thousands of people are getting tested

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: every day and the case numbers are zero or very low,

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: we know that we have a control of the disease.

63
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: And that's really important moving forward, especially as restrictions are eased.

64
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: What about the wedding venue planners, they're saying that they're

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: just going to go ahead with it anyway, the hemorrhaging cash.

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Then wait, okay, well, I appreciate a lot of businesses

67
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: are really frustrated, and the health expert you know, we're

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: getting advice from them on a daily basis. But please know,

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: the reason why the events like that are a higher

70
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: risk is if things are held indoors, if there's quoe

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: social contact, and it's very hard to maintain that social

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: distancing in a wedding when they're all family and friends.

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: And please know that if you look at the number

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: of cases and the outbreaks we've had here and overseas,

75
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot of them actually occurred at events like weddings,

76
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: and that's why that's we need to be extra careful.

77
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: But the health experts are working on how we can

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: ease restrictions on weddings and get more people they're in

79
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: a safe way. Might for example, if people sit down

80
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: to a dinner, that's fine, but if you dance with everybody,

81
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: that's a different issue because the spread of the disease

82
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: can happen. So please know, I appreciate how frustrated it is.

83
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: The healthy experts are working through all these issues and

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: we hope to be able to say something about that

85
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: very very soon.

86
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: And when will the moment come? Jacindra and Hearn was

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: able to say, Hey, New Zealand, where COVID free restrictions

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: are over, what will it take for us to be there?

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Well, look where we are so proud of the fact

90
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: that we've had nearly two weeks without confirmed cases of

91
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: community transmission, which is fantastic. So we have had cases,

92
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: but they're overseas, as is coming back home, and they're

93
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: not even all from the South Wales and from all

94
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: around Australia. But most people who are coming home from

95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: overseas are landing in Sydney and then going off to

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: wherever they live, but they have to be in quarantine

97
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: for two weeks. So we currently do have a number

98
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: of people in quarantine, and because we had so many

99
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: cases earlier on, we still have around three hundred active

100
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: cases in this southwhal So even though the daily case

101
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: numbers are zero or very low, we do have around

102
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: three hundred active cases and we are getting to a

103
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: situation where, you know, we've been quite robust in the

104
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: South Wales. We've these restrictions more than any other state

105
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: except Wa, and Wa still has a border which is

106
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: another ridiculous issue. But anyway. So we are we are

107
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: if you include the fact that we don't have it.

108
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: We haven't imposed any border restrictions on New South Wales.

109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: We are the state that's moved the fastest and easy restrictions.

110
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: We were a state that probably moved the fastest in

111
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: putting the restrictions in place because we had to. But

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: we're also being very robust in the way in which

113
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: we've tried to support jobs because so many people have

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: lost their jobs. We want them to get those jobs back,

115
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: and we're doing everything we can to ease restrictions in

116
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: a sustainable way because until there's a cure or a vaccine,

117
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: we have to have that level of one and a

118
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: half meter distance getting tested if we've got symptoms, staying

119
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 1: home and look, can I also make this really strong play?

120
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: And it's my dad's birthday. To that I'm thinking, Oh,

121
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: I give him my heart.

122
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: Go or not?

123
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Right? I haven't. I haven't husked him for how many

124
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: months I haven't been I've only barely been into the house.

125
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: And so until he's hive, my mum and him, you know,

126
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: live independently, and I haven't actually sat down and had

127
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: a meal with them because I'm so worried. I'm out

128
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: and about and I'm worried about ing them something. So

129
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is you still need to be careful

130
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: around people in your life that are vulnerable, people in

131
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: your life that might have another condition. So, yes, we're

132
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: doing well, but we always have to have in the

133
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: back of our mind just to be careful, just to

134
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: make sure we're shipping. You know, the rules that are

135
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: in place, the advice that's there so that we don't

136
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: unintentionally hurt someone. We love it about.

137
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: Happy birthday to your dad and like to sind Adurn,
