1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Jub mission with Jonesy and Amanda Well.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: After more than three months of strict stay of home orders,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 2: we hear news that we're on track to vax ourselves

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: closer to freedom in October. So on one hand, we've

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: kind of being promised some freedoms in October, but we've

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: also been warned it will be our most dangerous month

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: yet in terms of high numbers and hospitalizations. To discuss

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: all this, we welcome the Premier gladys peryogically in Hello.

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: Hello, Premier hijnsy, how are you guys?

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 2: Work very well? So October is going to be a

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: dreadful month for numbers hospitalizations. We've been told to prepare

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: so what possible freedoms can we get in October?

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 3: Right, So, in terms of case numbers, they're predicting September

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: will be the month we have the highest numbers. So

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: they're anticipating next week could be the week that we

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: have the highest numbers we've ever had and then hopefully

17
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: it'll start coming down. But in October, once we hit

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: that seventy percent double dose vaccination across the state and

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: we're nearly there, we're doing really well. That will mean

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: things like it's going to the pub for a meal,

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: going to your local cafe, going to an outdoor events,

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: so various things that we've longed to for a long time,

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: including going to get those services all of us have

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: mixed for a long time, wazelokcare services, all that stuff,

25
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: So that will all be available, but only for those

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: who are vaccinated. Because when you still have a bit

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: of the population unvaccinated, it means they are vulnerable and

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: they can then obviously so come and go to end

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: up in hospital or worse. So it's really important for

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: us to follow the plan. And I'm so pleased that

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 3: the vaccination take up in Sydney and throughout regional New

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: South Wales has been phenomenal. So the trip now is

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: to focus on those areas because some areas in western

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: Sydney are doing so amazingly well, like Blacktown local government

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: area has the highest rate of vaccination. They're like more

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: than eighty six percent first dose, which is just amazing,

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: But that means that other parts of the state might

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: have below seventy. So we're trying to make sure that

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: we identify those pockets and encourage people to get the

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: vax so that everybody can enjoy the freedom seventy percent.

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: I was looking at that Burnet report and it's in

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: the newspaper today, But indiventions have saved thousands. And these

43
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: are the things I guess we don't really or hear about.

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: If we didn't have the vaccination role at all the lockdowns,

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: we would have had thousands and thousands of cases and

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of deaths exactly.

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: And it's hard to think about that given it's been

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: such a tough time for all of us, especially for

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: people living in those local government areas of concerning Western

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: and Southwest. So it's been a terrible time. And almost

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 3: everybody out there would know someone who's had COVID or

52
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: ends up in hospital. I mean, as we speak, we've

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: got more than a thousand people in hospital with COVID.

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: We've got about eleven thousand people with COVID being taken

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: care of in the community, in about you know, one

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty or so in intensive care. And the

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: issue is, once you get the disease and it impacts

58
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: you badly, the second week of your illness is when

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: things get serious, and that's normally when people end up

60
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: in hospital. And unfortunately, whilst case numbers will be going down.

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: The peak in those people getting sick and ending up

62
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 3: in hospital will happen around October because there's a couple

63
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: of weeks lag between the high number of cases and

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: the actual people getting really sick. But again, it's been

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 3: the vast majority of people who've ended up in hospital,

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 3: unfortunately have been unvaccinated, which is a tragedy, and the

67
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: vast majority of people who've had double those vaccines have

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 3: avoided hospital. In fact, I think there's only been a

69
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 3: couple of people who had other conditions who've ended up

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: for coming, but the vast majority of people who end

71
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: up in hospital haven't had any dose of the vaccine.

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: And that's why we're just saying for all the reasons above,

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: including getting those freedoms that we've missed, and also for

74
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: me and I'm sure many others, just you know, I

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: haven't seen my parents and all that time, haven't caught

76
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: up with my sisters. It's been a really, really difficult time. Fortunately,

77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: most of us have technology so you can ring and

78
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: speak to them or do FaceTime or whatever, but for

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: a lot of people that isolation has been really prolonged

80
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: and profound.

81
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Really had and my dad is in Brisbane and he's

82
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: eighty seven eighty eight. I wonder when I will see

83
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: him again. And we've really noticed the sniping between the

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: different states. Scott Morrison has said, hey, we'll all be

85
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: with our families for Christmas, but if your family lives

86
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: in Queensland or Western Australia, that's not going to happen.

87
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: Will we ever have a sense of cohesion with the

88
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: state with each state.

89
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: Well, Amanda, we all signed up to the plan. Every

90
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: single state in Australia signed up to the plan, which

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: is once you get eighty percent of your population with

92
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: two doses of the vaccine, double those well then all

93
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: those internal borders go. And in the case of New

94
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: South Wales, we're saying we'll be welcoming home lots of

95
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: losses from overseas. I'm happy for them all to come

96
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: home through Sydney Airport to get home for Christmas. So

97
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: we've all signed up to the plan. I think the

98
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: challenge is that New Southwelles is a Victoria and the

99
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: ACT have had these major outbreaks and we've been confronted

100
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: with the reality of living with COVID. Those other states

101
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: haven't yet. But that's why I'm saying to them, the

102
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: intern will come, it's inevitable, be ready and don't let

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: it hold back our country, our nation. So we've been

104
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: quite opening in walcoming home people from all around Australia

105
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: through Sydney Airport because as well as being New South Wales,

106
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: we're Aussies and a bit of compassion and supporting everybody

107
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: during this difficult time goes a long way. So I'm

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: extremely hopeful that by Christmas Aussies will be united, including

109
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: those living in different states, because that's a sign we

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: all signed up to the plan. We all signed up to.

111
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: Those gold posts are kind of shifting as well, and

112
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: the fact that when you get vaccinated it doesn't necessarily

113
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: mean that you can't transfer the disease to other people.

114
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: So what we can see in a situation is Queensland

115
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: won't open their border because unless they get their vaccination

116
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: rate up to what we have. But right now it's

117
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: incredibly low.

118
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: It is, but it doesn't take long to catch up.

119
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: I mean we had a massive push I think I

120
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 3: said right from the beginning, and a few people kind

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: of shouted me down when I said vaccination is our

122
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: way out of this. Yes, the lockdowns worked to an extent.

123
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: But vaccination is what's going to protect our community and

124
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 3: we've just been going for it ever since then. The

125
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: public have been just amazing. People who have previously had

126
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: concerns have changed their mind. Everybody realizes how important it

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: is to keep your love safe but also supporting the

128
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: community and getting freedom. And the other important thing to

129
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: remember is whist Whilst the other states might be a

130
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: few weeks behind New South Wales, I'll eventually catch up.

131
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: But at least for those few weeks, our citizens in

132
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: New South Wales we'll be living freely. Our citizens will vaccinated,

133
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: will be able to do all those things we've missed,

134
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: see all the people we've missed. But again, you know

135
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: what double vaccination means that you said, it doesn't mean

136
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: you won't get the disease or you won't pass it on,

137
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: but it means you're less likely to get it, you're

138
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: less likely to pass it on, and you're less likely

139
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: to end up in hospital. And the real way that

140
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: we know that we can live with COVID is by

141
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: keeping people out of hospital, keeping people alive and enjoying

142
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: the freedom. And that's the balance we'll get in New

143
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: South Wales. It's been a difficult journey, but there is

144
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: an estate or a nation on the planet that's had

145
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: an easy time of it. Ours is even though it's

146
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: been so hard, we haven't had thousands of debts, we

147
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: haven't had all those horrible situations we could overseas. And

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: that's why we're planning ahead with our intensive care in October.

149
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 3: That's why I was really pleased to put out a

150
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: plan as difficult and as challenging as it will be,

151
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: we've got all that extra capacity we've put into the

152
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: system to make sure when that happens, that our wonderful,

153
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: wonderful frontline staff have the best, best way in which

154
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: they can take care of people and keep them wise. There.

155
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: It is his for a leg wax for everyone, waks

156
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,400
