00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: Well, they say health is the greatest wealth, and during

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: this pandemic, haven't we shown that to absolutely be the case.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: One of our favorite women, Ei the Butt Shows, is

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 2: behind a new campaign to help us look after our

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 2: health in these strange times.

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: Ida, Hello, good nighting, Amanda Allergen Hello, Ida has things

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: going to the ABC?

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Everything okay?

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 3: Look, everything's pretty good. You know. We don't have any

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: cases of COVID nineteen. We staff most of our safest

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 3: working remotely. We do have some people in OZMA, but

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: you know, all things considered and given the breadth of

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: what we deliver, I think we're going very well.

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: And how are you going in the job? You've been

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: there for a year now, more.

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 3: Than a year, it's about sixteen months now. I'm almost

18
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 3: at an old timer. Look, I'm really enjoying it. So

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: it's what I've worked in all my life, you know,

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: It's what I know. I love. I love the world

21
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: of media. I love the world of broadcasting. I love

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: the advancements and did technology that are allowing us to

23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: do so much more, especially especially during this coronavirus epidemic pandemic.

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: A lot of magazines are closing at the moment. With

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: such a history as you've had in magazines, it must

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: be a bit of heartbreaking to see.

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: Look, it's always heartbreaking to see magazines go because I

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: do believe women look at magazines as a friend, and

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: you know, you just I don't know why so many

30
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: of them are struggling. I think it's probably something to

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: do with content. It is always content. That's why people

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: pick up a magazine. They want to read something. And

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: I think it's understanding the marketplace. You know, what are

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: women doing? What time do they have? What are they

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: looking for in their reading material? Are magazines meeting that demand?

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: I suspect some of them are not, and some of

37
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: them are a bit loose with the truth. And I

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: think that I think the consumer is the consumer is

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: not dumb, and the consumer will just think, oh, that

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: can't be true. I'm not going to pick that up,

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: So they work against themselves sometimes.

42
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Well have the story you're marrying Chris Brown. Did you

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: know that?

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: No? I didn't. When are we getting married?

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: That's on the Woman's Day wi the Butchers marries Chris Brown.

46
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you'll be very happy.

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: And you're having a baby well.

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 3: That's great, the dog will be thrill.

49
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: You'll all get your temperature taken at that raid on.

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: We've had Andrew Rochford, doctor Andrew Rochford, on our show,

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: and he's been talking about how we've all it's very

52
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: easy to let your health go during this period because

53
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: people a are scared to be going into hospitals at

54
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: the moment, and B you don't want to overcrowd the system.

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: But that's the opposite of what we should be doing.

56
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: We still need to look after ourselves.

57
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: We do, and this is Macula months and I've been

58
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: the patriot of Macular Disease Foundation for fifteen years and

59
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: what opsthalmologists are telling us is that one third of

60
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: patients are canceling their appointments due to fear and confusion

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: around COVID nineteen regulations. So there are a number of

62
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Australians who get injections for wet age related noculty generation

63
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: and diabetic macular redeemer and later treatments and so on,

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: and it's really really important that they keep these treatments

65
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: up otherwise they run the risk of vision loss and blindness.

66
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: So what we're trying to do is reassure those Australians

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: who are who are observing the Guide kids are not

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: going out that it's okay to go out to get

69
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: injections for your eye sightecause they are considered essential medical treatment.

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: So you're not in breach of government guidelines if you

71
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: do this, and you can take someone with you if

72
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: you have to, you are you're permitted to do that.

73
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: So even if you live in an age care facility,

74
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: you are still permitted to go out to get these

75
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: sites saving eye injections. We really want to stress on

76
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: older Australians and their families it's really important that your parents,

77
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: your loved ones keep up with these treatments because we're

78
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: talking about vision loss that will be irreversible. And so

79
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: if anyone's got any problems, I know people are worried.

80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: We understand that why wouldn't you be. It's a scary

81
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: as the coronavirus, But any problems at all, just ring

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,280

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll find something that's pretty enterprising at the ABC.

89
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Did you mean that we'll have to pull our socks up,

90
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: me and Amanda because all of a sudden, you know.

96
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: You go over there. Okay, that sounds great. I'd rather

97
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: get my needle in my eye.

98
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: My uncle's ninety six. He has had more than one

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: hundred and his vision is perfect.

100
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: So that's because you got the needle in the eye.

101
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: That's correct.

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,200

Speaker 1: That's treatments. There you go, there's better.

106
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: I'm the uncle, Gerald says. It's just just like a

107
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: tiny pin prick. It's nothing at all.
