00:02Well, I think on behalf of the ABC, I feel terrible that we're in a position where we're
00:06going to pull services from the public.
00:08That is our job day to day.
00:09Are you sorry?
00:10Yeah, very much so.
00:12And I'm sorry to some of those staff that I feel are in a really difficult position
00:17today because I know how difficult this can be for individuals.
00:20I am committed to finding the right outcome, but that outcome has to recognise the fact
00:25that when my funding goes up by 2.27% to 2.8% a year, there is a limit
00:31to how far we can
00:32go in remunerating 60% of the workforce and staff.
00:35I'm trying to find that balance.
00:37I don't think the union will give any recognition for the limitations under which we have to
00:42operate.
