1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Job mission with Jonesy and Amanda. Well, over the long weekend, 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: we did record our ninth day of zero locally acquired cases. 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: This is a big milestone, I reckon. But as we're 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: just saying the beaches at chokers, should we be a 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: little bit nervous about that? The Premier joins us. 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: Now, good morning, Good morning, Jenshi Amanda. 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: I, gladys, do you ever go to the beach. 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 2: I'm not a beach goer. I've got very fair skins, 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 2: so I'm a bit careful, but lots of my friends 10 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: and family do. And as you said in their intro, 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: there were a lot of people out there, but most 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 2: people were respecting the social distancing, which is what we need. 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: And I know everybody says a towel length, but it's 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: still the tower has to be at least one and 15 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: a half meters, so it can't be a little one. 16 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: It has to be at least one and a half 17 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: meters in terms of the towe length between people. So 18 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: can I ask. 19 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: You this big news over the weekend with the President 20 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: of the United States testing positive? Do you have plans 21 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: in action if you and half your party go down? 22 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: Oh? Well, that's why we're very careful. I have to say, 23 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: my mum ranged me to make sure I was very 24 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: careful when she got that news. But no, we just 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: have to make sure we're careful. So in Parliament we 26 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: only have you know, a third of the people in 27 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 2: the chamber that would normally be there, or even less. 28 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: So we're just careful to make sure that when cabinet 29 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 2: meets or when there's gatherings that were socially distancing, were 30 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: hand sanitizing. So there are absolute precautions to make sure 31 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: that we don't give it to each other or at least, 32 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: but especially for people in my line of work, you're 33 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: out there meeting a lot of people all the time. 34 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 2: I have restricted a lot. I've got what I'm doing. 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: I'm only going to things that are absolutely COVID safe, 36 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: And even with meetings, I'm preferring to do them virtually 37 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: still until we just get through the lists next it 38 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: a while, and I don't think it hurts to be 39 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: if you can. I don't think it hurts to be 40 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: extra cautious, and that's my nature anyway. 41 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: I like the idea that your mum rang you. Okay, 42 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: so it's happened to the President's going to happen to you. 43 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: Take you care And I said, Mum, this is why 44 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: I'm careful around you and Dad, because they say, why 45 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: do you worry? Why don't you come over more and whatever? 46 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: And I see them once a week, but I don't. 47 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: I used to sit down and have a meal and 48 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: spin hours with them and I don't tend to do 49 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: that in close proximity to haven't given them the hugs 50 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: and things like that. And I said, Mum, this is why, 51 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: because you know, I worry that I'm in contact with 52 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: a lot of people and I don't want to you 53 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: knowsk giving it to you guys. 54 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: Well, it's been amazing that as we say, nine days 55 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: without with zero locally acquired cases. I'm like you, desperate 56 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: to see my dad who's up in Queensland. We have 57 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,839 Speaker 1: a conditional opening to go to Queensland, but they want 58 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: us or the premiere four weeks without a mystery case. 59 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: That's unlikely, isn't it. 60 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: Well, look, I think it's the bars too high myself. 61 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: And if you apply that criteria, what's the next step. 62 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: Does that mean that they'll open the borders and we 63 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: get a case and they're close them again. You can't 64 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: live like that, and that's why I hope what we've 65 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: shown in New South Wales is that if you do 66 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: a good job in containing the outbreaks, if you get 67 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: on top of things, if you give good advance notice 68 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 2: to the community about what we should be doing, where 69 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: we should be wearing masks, where we should be socially distant, 70 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 2: seeing what we should do when we go to venues, 71 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: then and you can be resilient and we should be 72 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: feeling comfortable enough to travel around Australia. And Victoria is 73 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: an exception. I don't think Victoria's out of the woods yet, 74 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: so that's an exception. But for the rest of Australia 75 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 2: there is just no reason. And ironically, we're welcoming a 76 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 2: lot of Queenslanders and West Australians through the hotel quarantine system, 77 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: a lot of them that are coming through or from 78 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: those states, so we're we're counting those case numbers as ours, 79 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: and they come from overseas, we're taking care of them 80 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 2: until they're you know, through that period, and then they're 81 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: going home. 82 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: Because we're the only place that the international flights come, 83 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: aren't we That everyone has to go through us, so 84 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: we're getting all the hotel cases. 85 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: We're not getting all of them, we're getting the vast majority. 86 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: And I think Way and Queensland at the moment are 87 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: doing between five and seven hundred a week. We're doing 88 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: three thousand a week, so we're doing the vast bolk. 89 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: About forty percent of the people coming through me arn't 90 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: from New South Wales. They're going to other parts of 91 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: Australian Victoria obviously can't take anything. Alwaysn't taking any at 92 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: the moment, so they're there, you know, And that system itself, 93 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: everything you do is high risk around COVID and we 94 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: all of us have to be careful. And my biggest 95 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: concern over summer is complacency because I have noticed when 96 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: you go to venues, yes the QR code is there 97 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: and the temperature checks are there, but not everybody's doing 98 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: it all the time. And I really want people to 99 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: just appreciate that just because we're doing well now doesn't 100 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: mean we'll do well all the time. I remember last 101 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: time we felt a bit complacent and relaxed. Victorian situation 102 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: kind of blew up at it nowhere, Yeah, we don't 103 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: want to coming back all the time now, and then 104 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: we were at risk. We could have gone down that path. 105 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: It was only you know, a few had things gone 106 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: differently had we not contact Trace. You know, we had 107 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: to contact Trace six hundred people from one part because 108 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: a Victorian person has gone there and if we hadn't 109 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: done that well and then got on top of it, 110 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: and then we had a funeral case and then the restaurant. 111 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: So it doesn't take much for it to take off. 112 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: But I'm incredibly proud of what if you look at 113 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: what New South Wales has done and doing compared to 114 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: other parts of the world, I think we can be 115 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: very proud of what we're achieving and Australia as well. 116 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: But we just have to make sure that we don't 117 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: think that just because there's no community trans mission for 118 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: a period. Even if we've got to twenty eight days, 119 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: which would be amazing without any local cases, I doubt 120 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: we'll get to twenty eight But if we happen to it, 121 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: it still doesn't mean route of the worlds. It just 122 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: means until there's a vaccine, we're finding a good way 123 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 2: to live COVID safely. We're finding a good balance of 124 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: how we can try and have as normal a life 125 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: as possible without compromising health and safety in I still 126 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: feel we need to be extra I shouldn't, so I 127 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: still feel it's not my pin, but it's based on 128 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: health advice. You know, take extra care around vulnerable people. 129 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 2: Make sure you're wearing masks when you go grocery shopping 130 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: or in crowds. Make sure if you're going to a 131 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: place of worship, you know, wear a mask. So there's 132 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: lots of things all of us need to do. 133 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: And if you see a crowd, just don't go and 134 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: join the crowd. 135 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: I mean a crowd. You can't have more than twenty 136 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: in an outdoor gathering anyway. But even in that twenty, 137 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: unless they're from your same household, obviously, if you live together, 138 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: it's not missue. But even if you're meeting with family 139 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: or friends who you're very close to, you've still got 140 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: to maintain the social distancing. 141 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: That's it, no more, man, give it a rest. 142 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: Glass, Thank you guys, Check you Talk. 143 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: You Talk is doing a great job 144 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: With join Z and Amanda
