1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Jub mission with Jonesy and Amanda down.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: To the Judgy demand rams for the pub test this morning.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Funding Australians to come back from overseas. Does this pass

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: the pub test?

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: Thousands of Australians are still hoping to wanting to come back.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: Apparently one hundred thousand Australians are stuck overseas. Only four

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 3: thousand people are allowed into the country every week, but

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: twenty three thousand Australians have registered to come home. Three

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: thousand of these you're keeping up with the numbers. YEP

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: are classified as vulnerable because they're facing health woes or

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: financial troubles. The government has just announced financial support alone

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: for people stranded overseas to help them get back. It's

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: interesting because I'd always thought they've had since March to

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 3: get back. If you wanted to come back. The Prime

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: Minister said loud and clear, come now, come home now,

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: we're shutting down the borders. Come home now, and I thought, well,

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: you've done your dash. One of the girls in the

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: typing pool said that she has a friend trying who's

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: been trying to get home from Austria for four months.

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: Her father is passing way. She's had flights that have

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: been canceled, flights that now she can't get on because

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: of social distancing. She finally had to appeal to the

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: embassy to say I'm going to not be there for

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: my father's passing. She's finally coming back. It's costing her

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: thirteen thousand dollars wow, for flights and quarantine when she

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: gets here. No compassionate leave to get out of quarantine.

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: So it's taken her four months to get a flight home.

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: So I hadn't thought of it from that side of it.

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think there'd be a few caseworkers on this.

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: You look at The Block, a TV show like The Block,

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: for example, they have something like fifty thousand entrants and

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: they scrutinize all those entrants. Surely, as a government, we

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: have someone that could separate the whek from the chaff

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: as far as who's eligible to come back and who's not.

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: I'd like to think there's more reading involved here rather

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: than just seeing how you look in a pair of shorts. Yeah,

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: and also, as we if there are twenty three thousand

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: Australians who want, imagine the paperwork to go through who

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: deserves this loan, it's tough.

40
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: What do you think funding Australians to come back from

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: overseas does it pass the pub.

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: I'm thinking there's probably a case to be made so

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: some compassionate grounds. So there's people that have got to

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: get back because they've got relatives dying or something. I'm

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: thinking probably some help would be a good idea. But

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: those that just ignore the advice and a travel and

47
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: just for the sake of us know they should be

48
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: paying their own ways.

49
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: We give so many drongos in Australia money for such

50
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: more stupid reason. I think that like bringing home the

51
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: vulnerable people, we really need to focus on that, and

52
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: I think that's important. So I think that people that

53
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: have just been having a good time overseas can stay

54
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: there they're stuff up. But if you're vulnerable and your bodish,

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I think we should help them get home.

56
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: I don't think it does, except maybe on extreme compassionate grounds.

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: How much more money is the government got to cough up?

58
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: I don't think people understand that the money that the

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: government spending is borrowed. We are going to be in

60
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 4: this situation for a very very very long time before

61
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: my money's paid back.

62
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: Indeed, with join z and Amanda
