1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jonesy and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 2: Glad speragically Hello you say, my son said beautifully hello Hello. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 2: At end of the year. 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: If we'd said to you this time last year, what 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,159 Speaker 1: was going to happen this year, you wouldn't have believed it. 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: I mean, it started with bushfires. You probably thought that's 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: going to be bad enough. 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: But I think everybody did. We're also shocked and traumatized 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: by the bushfires because it affected all of us, no 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 2: matter where you live. The haze was everywhere, and people 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: were obviously relaying all the horror, horrible, tragic things that'd 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: been through. And then we had those the storms, the floods, 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: and so that was a natural disaster period there, and 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: then actually there was a crossover. I just remember an 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: Australia day really coming to terms with the fact that 16 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: we could have something quite serious around and the bushfires 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: were still raging then. So it's been a full on year, 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: but it has been for everybody. And what really touches 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: me sometimes, especially now, people have seemed to have got 20 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: through the worst of the lockdown and adjusted their jobs 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: and lives and kids, education and everything. But I'm still 22 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: confronted by a lot of people just see me and 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: burst into tears. So it tells me that under the surface, 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: people have had a really time. 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: People are still mourning their old lives, but some more 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: than others. 27 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: And I would say that you have been through the ring, 28 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: particularly in the last few weeks. Yeah, how does that. 29 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: You've had eye CAAC commissions, You've had just the last 30 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: couple of days, you've had this the coronavirus testing thing. Yeah, 31 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: you know, But that's the thing that's I think what 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: you realize this year, what I certainly realized about myself 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: as a leader, is you have more in you than 34 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: you think. Right. So if I'd said to any of you, 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: will you survive because I've a easter, I've never spent 36 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: Easter by myself. But you know, if I'd said to you, 37 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: will you survive a lockdown? Would you be able to 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: not touch people and not do anything? All of us 39 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: would have said no. But we did it. We've got 40 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: through it. And I think it's really a question of 41 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: everybody being in the same situation, everybody being in the 42 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: same circumstances. I had friends that lost their jobs. I 43 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: had one friend her and a husband birth lost their jobs, 44 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: got three kids. 45 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: But what's a stranger for you? You navigated us so brilliantly, 46 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: so all the coronavirus, We're so proud then eye cac 47 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: all these things. People calling for your resignation, it's I 48 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be premier for quids, I know. 49 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: And people call for you, you know, for you to 50 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: not have your job like every day of the week. 51 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 2: So that's nothing new. I'm used to that. Every week 52 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: there's somebody saying and this all you that, But I 53 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: think what really matters is the public. You know, at 54 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: the end of the day, what I really pride myself 55 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: on is if the public thinks you're doing an okay job, well, 56 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: then that's what matters. 57 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: So once you year's eve, you've got a glass of 58 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: champagne in your hand, what's your feeling as we leave 59 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: this year behind? But heading too? Not an easy year 60 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: to come, No. 61 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: I think my feeling is no, matter what all of 62 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: us face in twenty twenty one, will get through it 63 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: together where there's nothing we can't withstand because you know, 64 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: we had hopes and aspirations. You know that this year 65 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: would be better than last year, and you know that's 66 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: what the new year is about. It's always about having 67 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: that hope and aspiration, but none of us know it's 68 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: going to be like And I do worry about the 69 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: economy next year more than the health. I mean, the 70 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: health pandemic is a daily struggle, don't get me wrong, 71 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: But the impact of having to have those lockdowns and 72 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: the impact of having borders shop for so long is 73 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: really going to hit us next year. So as a government, 74 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: we've been making preparations this year to make sure as 75 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 2: many people as possible to keep their jobs, as many 76 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 2: people as possible don't have that disruption, and so we're 77 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 2: preparing a head for that. I hope it doesn't come 78 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: to fruition, but that's my job. It's to plan for 79 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: things that might come up and how to protect the community. 80 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: So will you be heading up north to Queensland? Will you? 81 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to stay in your southwest. Look, you know what, 82 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: a lot of my friends are going up there. They've 83 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: got family and I'm so pleased for them. Imagine being 84 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: separated from your parents. It's been horrible for people, and 85 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: imagine you know, having to think about laying off staff 86 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: because the tourist sun arriving. So I'm pleased for I'm 87 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: honestly thrilled. It was when she rang me, I was 88 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: just like slightly emotional, and I don't really get emotional, 89 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: but I was just so relieved for people because I thought, 90 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: at least we don't have to stress about people being 91 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: separated at Christmas. Double ways now the only state that 92 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: isn't taking people from Sydney so or New South Wales, 93 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: I should say so. Hopefully that will resolve itself as well. 94 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: But this time of year, everybody wants to be around 95 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: their loved ones and want to you know, enjoke the 96 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: company of the could you change the thing to fifty 97 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: people at your house? I don't want fifty people in 98 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: the house. Can we a good excuse, jonesy? Can I 99 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 2: just suggest that if you don't have an outdoor area, 100 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 2: we are saying thirty. So if you have it, if 101 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 2: you have an outdoor you know, outdoor area where you 102 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: can allow people outside as well, we're allowing fifty, but 103 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: inside no more than thirty because even when you have 104 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 2: thirty in the home, you should keep the windows open 105 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: and have good ventilation because the virus spreads indoors when 106 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 2: there's too many people. 107 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: And well, many of us have been using the limited 108 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: numbers as an excuse to be andy social.
