1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's good morning, good to be with you.

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Well, look, a number of things hasn't been a quiet

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: day in Parliament House this year, it seems, vaccination delays,

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: of sold accusations, recent floods. Let's start with the floods.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: What are you hearing and what are you seeing?

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Oh? Look, it's been devastating, certainly in New South Wales

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: in particular, but also parts of Queensland and particularly the

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: mid North Coast. It just won our hearts. Go out

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: to those people, including the poor family who just were

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: on their wedding days or their home wash away. But

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: also it's a reminder of the incredible work that our

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: sees do, largely volunteers out there in the wind and

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: the rain helping people out. And just a big message

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: today is keep safe. If you're asked to be evacuated,

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: make sure that you follow the directives of emergency service workers.

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: I heard rumors that the floods will delay the vaccine

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: roll out.

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: Well, the vaccine rollout was delayed. That's the truth. You know,

19
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: we need people to get vaccinated, but the truth is

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: that we were at the back of the queue to

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: start rolling out the vaccine and we need to make

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: sure that we fulfill the deadlines that the Prime Minister

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: said four million people would be vaccinated by the end

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: of March. Well we're at March twenty two hour. The

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: government needs to make sure it gets this right.

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 3: And you've had the vaccine.

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: I have, indeed, yes, I had the piza vaccine.

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: Here.

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: The government approached us, myself and the leader of the

30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 1: Greens to join with other leaders, including the Health Minister

31
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: and the PM of course, to send the message. And

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: if we're asking other people to get vaccinated, were needed

33
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: to do it ourselves.

34
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: You'd appreciate that we're not in Russia.

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: Imagine that if the opposition came and said take needle, comrade,

36
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: you'd be saying, why don't you take it first and

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: we'll see how it pans out.

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: It might be a bit different. But fortunately I made

39
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: sure that it was given by a very good nurse

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: here in camera, rather than given by Scott Morris.

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: Film with peanut butter.

42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: Take this first, you go first.

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: But should we have confidence in the astrosenica which which

44
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: seems that will be getting a different one to you guys.

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: And this seems to be where there might be some controversy.

46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: Look, what we should have confidence in is our therapeutic

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: goods administration. It's the best in the world and they've

48
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: given it the tick. We should have confidence in our

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: health professionals. They really are very good. They're very stringent,

50
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: they get it rang and I'm certain that they get

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: it right every time and they're checking all the batches

52
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: as well. So I think we can have absolute confidence

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: in that. It's something we should be proud of.

54
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: Frankly, yeah, it's a good thing.

55
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Can I ask you the whole of the nation has

56
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: been horrified by allegations of sexual abuse in Canberra, and

57
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: it seems that it's on both sides of politics. I

58
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: know that labor's not immune to this. How are you

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: reacting to this?

60
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: Well, society isn't immune from it. We have a technical term,

61
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: or academic term, if you like, as patriarchy, But what

62
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: it means is there's power imbalances in society and some

63
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: men seek to abuse the power relationship that they have

64
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: and no one's immune from it. Media organizations, political parties, businesses,

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: which is why we need to put in place proper mechanisms.

66
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: But I was quite frankly shocked that a reported sexual

67
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: assault could occur just meters from the Prime Minister's office,

68
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: and that take two years for that to be revealed,

69
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: and according to the Prime Minister him, not be told

70
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: for two years, even though members of his own staff knew,

71
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: and ministers knew, and other people in the building knew

72
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: about it. We really need some transparency here. But we

73
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: also need to make sure that the review that's been

74
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: established under the Sex Discrimination Commissioners able to do its

75
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: work today, will pass legislation which will mean people can

76
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: come forward in the confidence that their evidence or submissions

77
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: will be treated confidentially and might be subject to freedom

78
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: of information laws. That's really important to encourage people to

79
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: be able to come forward.

80
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: It's changing that culture, isn't it.

81
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: Will you be able to send us a curtain of

82
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: your albow corn ale, just because I think we should

83
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: need to test that out?

84
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: Well, I could. I'm sure Willie the Boatman would oblige.

85
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure that pattern the team down there at Tempea

86
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: and Peters are listening to this program and I would

87
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: expect it to be on its way by nine o'clock.

88
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: Is it made of corn corner? No?

89
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: No, What it has is during the prohibition in the

90
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: US because they you know, we're out there looking at

91
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: who was making balley and other products that go into

92
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: to beer. They produced a type of corn. So it's

93
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: just a little bit added the flavor. If you want

94
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: a sort of comparison, it tastes a little bit like

95
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: little creatures, paleolereatures.

96
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 3: Los A're not fruity all the beers now.

97
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: It's not fruity fruit. If I am prime minister ill

98
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: being in fruit being put in a.

99
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: Beer, you know what. That's a strong platform.

100
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: Like, seriously, what is wrong is strawberry and plumb and

101
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: stuff going into beer?

102
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: What's wrong?

103
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: What's wrong?

104
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: That's what it is. It's not like though when your

105
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: beer comes up you can see corn in it and

106
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: say that was there in the beginning.

107
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's hell, that's quite the process. It's not fruit. Well,

108
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 4: I'd like a case of that. At nine o'clock, Anthony,

109
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: it's great to talk to you. Thank you for joining us.

110
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, guys, thank you. With and Amanda
