00:00:00
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the flow and effects. There's a big emergency cabinet meeting that's happening a little bit later today, talk about Australia's fuel stocks. What the state governments can do about it. It's called by the Prime Minister. Obviously, lots of ideas are coming forward. One of those from the PSA here in South Australia. Their General secretary Charlotte Watson, joins us on five to buy breakfast. Charlotte, you've suggested maybe it's time for public servants to work from home.
00:00:26
Speaker 2: Good morning. That's right. That's something that we saw during COVID. We saw thousands of South Australians working from home very effectively, and we're putting out there on the table. Why not return to that arrangement to decrease the pressure on the number of people trying to get the petrol and leave it in the bounsers for the people who really need it, like the tradees and the truckees and the farmers.
00:00:49
Speaker 3: Is it Can you actually do all those jobs as effectively though, Charlotte, I mean my memories of COVID were quite different from that. It felt like the world had sort of ground Holt, that's a fair.
00:01:02
Speaker 2: Fair statement. Look, there was different tears of arrangements during COVID, and we're certainly talking about the office space people with this call, so there would be over ten thousand. I would guess people that are purely doing work on a computer. They are our people doing our policies, advice, conveyancing, payroll processing, all sorts of jobs that can really easily be done from home without any interruption to service.
00:01:27
Speaker 3: No, it's an interesting suggestion, and we'll see what the listeners think of it. As Charlotte, thanks for coming on, Charlotte Watson, the General secretary of the Public Service Associations.
00:01:35
Speaker 1: If we get to that point and means something bad has happened, if we got told to work from home, will I'd think seriously about quitting seriously. Thanks for that.
00:01:44
Speaker 3: No, you would too, wouldn't you. Do you ever want to do as this radio show via Microsoft teams.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: Again, Well, I don't want to, but I would appreciate that it's because of something that's big and bad that's happening in the world that you know, it's not because my business just decided it, So I wouldn't hold it against them.
00:02:01
Speaker 3: Stupid pandemic.
00:02:04
Speaker 1: You've invited me around to look at irrigation and threaten to quit on it the next time there's anything else is coming up.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: The next time there's a bloody pandemic. I'm going to joint press conference with alexanderk I'm going full blown defy everything.
00:02:17
Speaker 1: You can't argue your way about there being no petrol in the country though you can't, well, no that's true, you can't.
00:02:22
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna quit cry
