Speaker 3: Morning listeners.

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: Now, Jared, We've been talking a lot this morning about

10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: some of the concerns that people have got with the

11
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: Howard Springs facility. The capacity or the number of repatriated

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: assies is set to go up to around two thousand

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: to fortnite. You know, there's a lot of concerns that

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 2: I've got with this. I'm not sure whether you heard

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: the Health Minister on the show earlier this morning and

16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: whether that quelled any of the concerns that you or

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: those who live in your electorate have.

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that interview, but the concerns that I've

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: been hearing is the odd Man have done a great

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: job and the two sea separate parts of the quarantine

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: facilily they're going to join into one. We look at

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: the history that the local one we've had had raised

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: parties that people jump the sense of that people in Wheeybins.

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: The concern is an authentarity government up to managing the

25
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: additional people going to go into that quarantine. That we're

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: going to be very large, It's going to be a

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: lot of people there. And the second concern is where

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: are they going to get the four hundred people from

29
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: to manage it.

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very good question indeed, and one which

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: we asked earlier this morning. I really don't know how

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: they're going to be able to get those four hundred

33
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: people in such a short time frame. I know that

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: they're not just our medical professionals. You know, they're literally

35
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: looking for people to cover all sorts of jobs. But

36
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: you know, the big worry here is, you know, over

37
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: the period that we've had those repatriated Aussies coming back,

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: the latest figure that I can find is that we

39
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: have had sixty seven positive COVID nineteen cases reported from

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: those international repatriations.

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: There is a.

42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: Real element of, you know, of worry that we're going

43
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: to increase that risk of people coming over with COVID

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: with the increased numbers. But then you're talking about changing

45
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: the management or changing the way in which it's currently

46
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: operating and a lot of people are really worried about this.

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: There's a real risk that COVID nineteen could get into

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: the community. These people are going to come in at

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: short and training, they're going to have the help nor

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: the Churkey Health's going to have the same services and

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: ozmack osn that have done a great job and there's

52
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: been no community transition. If the COVID gets into just

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: how it brings, but into the broader community, the consequences

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: are going to be very very seo. We've been very

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: lucky we haven't had the lockdowns that other they have.

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: The risk area is very high, and it seems that

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: the gun To government had just jumped at it and

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: not really thought about it, having consulted with people, and

59
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: haven't given us any detail of how it's going to work.

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: Because even if they do get the four hundred people,

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: what about our hospital staff Now we're already short staff,

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: were already crying out for people. So it's going to

63
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 3: have a flow on effect right through the community and

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: where do you are going to live. There's a whole

65
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: range of things that hasn't been thought through here. And remember,

66
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: the risk is that COVID nineteen will end up in

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: our community. We've got a vulnerable community. We've got people

68
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 3: living really close next to the quarantine. It's not right

69
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: out in the middle of football. It's in really a

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: built up area. How Partments is to really gone.

71
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: Throw away, Jared, I can't remember whether the facility falls

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: under you as the local member, and if it doesn't,

73
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: I know it's very close by.

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: But what are people in your electorates saying.

75
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: Well, it's only just happens. But I spoke to a

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: few people over the weekend and they're very concerned. Like

77
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: I said, how It Springs, our community Center's stone throw

78
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: Away Parments is even closer. The how To Springs original

79
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: community is right there as well. These are all real

80
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: concerns which I believe haven't been thought through by the

81
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: Gun of Government in this snap decision they've made to

82
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: take over from the os MAT team.

83
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, do we just need to suck it up

84
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: here though?

85
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: Jared?

86
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: I mean, like there's so many Aussies living overseas who

87
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: need to be brought back to Australia.

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: Do we need to just do our beat?

89
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: I completely accepted these Aussies need to come back and

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 3: we always go back to Sposalone, Tracy. I was here

91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: in the territory when that happened and we got help them. Look,

92
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that COVID nineteen is a real risk.

93
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: We've been lucky and I accept that they need to

94
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: come back. But this can't just be a snap decision.

95
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: They're gonna label that need to think through. They need

96
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: to put the detail out there because people are generally concerned.

97
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: It's a real risk and the consequences of COVID nineteen

98
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: coming into our community there. We know that COVID nineteen

99
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: will be in that quarantine percent and I understand there's

100
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: none there right now, but when they seeople coming back

101
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: from overseas, the history shows us there has been COVID nineteen,

102
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: So there is going to be COVID nineteen at that

103
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: quarantine facility. At present, there's two, and the Shenanigans have

104
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: been under one run by Jerokey Health. That's the one

105
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: where the problems have been so far. So imagine if

106
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: those same concerns or the same problems happen with riz COVID

107
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: nineteen in that facility. The consequences of it coming out

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: of the territory are really, really severe. This is not

109
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: just a flu or think God. This is a disease

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 3: that taken the world by storm. There's been massive consequences

111
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: health wise, financially. It can't be taken lighted well.

112
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: Jereed Maylee, the Deputy opposition leader, we always appreciate your time.

113
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on this morning.

114
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 3: No, thank you, thank you,
