1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. Good morning, Jamesy, Good

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: morning Amanda. How are you guys going. We're going all right.

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: How are you well? Great? I'm in Sydney today and

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: beautiful day here in Sydney. I've been in camp requite

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: a lot of these few months. It's been freezing, I bet,

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: but a lot war more up here in Sydney day.

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: So it's nice to be have well.

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Tell you what, talk about light at the end of

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: the tunnel. What great news. Australia signed an agreement to

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: be amongst the first to receive a vaccine. I know

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: that this announcement doesn't equal vaccine. They're still testing to

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 2: go yet.

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I mean there are about one hundred

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: and sixty different vaccine programs going on around the world.

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: This is arguably, we would say the most promising and

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: most advanced. So we've been able to strike a deal

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: which means we can manufacture it here in Australia as

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: soon as that has been concluded and we can get

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: twenty five million vaccines out to all Australians as quickly

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: as we can. We hope that can be done early

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: next year. If it can be done sooner and that

22
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: even better.

23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: How does it get implemented? Is it to people in

24
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: aged care and frontline workers? First? How do we go

25
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: about it?

26
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Well, the medical experts will give us that advice and

27
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: put together a program for how we would roll it out.

28
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: But I mean their obvious areas that would you'd think

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: would receive priority. We've just got to make sure we

30
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: have a full understanding of the trials and understand if

31
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: there are any particular vulnerabilities for particular groups of people.

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: But that's progressing well. But they're the obvious places that

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: I would think you would start. And why do we

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: put all our stock in the Oxford vaccine, Well, it's

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: not the only one will be taking a position on.

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: We've set up an expert panel which Professor Brenda Murphy leads,

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: and they're looking at all these other projects around the

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: world and we'll be looking to take positions on those

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: that they think are also the chance. So we won't

40
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: put all arics in one basket. And of course we

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: got that great trial that's going up in the University

42
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: of Queensland now and so that's another project we're involved with.

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: And so look, we'll keep identifying other good prospects and

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: making sure Australia is well positioned for those as well.

45
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: And we'll also be looking out for our specific family

46
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, we want to support those in

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: the Pacific Island communities to ensure they can get access

48
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: to these as well. We've got a special relationship with

49
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: them and they'll be counting on us. But Australians will

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: get that vaccine twenty five moon.

51
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: There'll always be people who won't want to take the vaccine.

52
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: How many of us need to take it for it

53
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: to be effective.

54
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Well, for a vaccine, advice is about ninety five percent,

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: and the herd immunity generally when there's a virus or

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: something like that is around about two thirds. But for

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: a vaccine, you go for ninety five percent at least

58
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: is the medical advice. And my advice is to people,

59
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: you've got to take it. I mean, this is not

60
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: just about you and your family, it's about those I mean.

61
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: There will be a very small number of cases, as

62
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: there is with any vaccine, where some people just for

63
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: medical reasons cannot take it because of what you know

64
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: them personally, But they are very rare cases and those

65
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: people rely on everybody else to take it. And I

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: remember when I did No Jab No Play many years ago,

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: it was those people, very vulnerable people who came up

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: to me in the street and said, thank you for

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: doing that because you're helping save my life, because I

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: would take it if I could.

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: So can I ask you to speculate how likely is

72
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: this to be a goer by early next year?

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Well? I can't put a figure on it, just like

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: so many things with the pandemic. But we wouldn't be

75
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: doing this if we didn't think it was one of

76
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: the best bets here. And there will be others, so

77
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: we've got to cover those other positions as well. The

78
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: good thing is we've got a capability to manufacture here

79
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: in Australia. We don't have to rye on someone else

80
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: manufacturing it for us and getting those supplies. We can

81
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: do that right here in Australia. So all through the

82
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: course of the pandemic, Greg Haunt and Karen Andrews, the

83
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Minister Industry, they've been working to ensure that we have

84
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: that capability of the manufacture. There are a few prob

85
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: gams over in the United States which are using a

86
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: different science that could be a bit more difficult, but

87
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: for the vast majority of those that are being developed.

88
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: The Minister for Industry and this is the health I've

89
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: been working together well to ensure that we can respond fast. Well,

90
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Prime Minister, you seem to have it in hand. It's

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: always great to catch up with you.

92
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: And this is great news this morning.

93
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: It's a bit of hope, isn't it. I mean it's

94
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I was just talking to some people down

95
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: in Melbourne in our similar program down there this morning,

96
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: and it's very hard for them. I mean in South

97
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Wells has done a traffic job here in keeping ahead

98
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: of these outbreaks and there's two problems that come up,

99
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: but they're getting on top of them well. But spare

100
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: a thought for our friends down in Melbourne and across Victoria.

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: But they're turning the corner down there. I'm not more

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: optimistic about that than I was a little while ago.

103
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: So that's that's good news. I'm having to be optimistic.

104
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: On Friday night, Big game bit cares for the boys

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: on Friday night. It's like I was after watching the

106
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: Titans game on the weekend.

107
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: They play, well, they're not winning ugly anymore.

108
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: They won one one well, well, we're scoring a lot

109
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: of points. We just got to stop others scoring a lot.

110
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: Of points that old trip. Maybe you should give them

111
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: one of your world famous pep talks.

112
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: Mate. Well, I haven't been able to go to the

113
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: schedule year this year, but I've been texteek like you know,

114
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: a mad stalker Obama Morris after games and I wish

115
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: them all the all the best of Friday night should

116
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: be a cracking game day the Jacques, thank you, Scott Morrison,

117
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us, Join the and Amanda, good

118
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: morning one point seven. Tell you
