1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Five A Knights with Matthew Pantellis Well. We were hoping

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: to talk to the owner of the Beach Burrito as

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: well on Jedti Road, but we can't get him. We

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: do have Ian Matheson, owner of Marloo Galleries on Jedti Road,

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: regarding the latest down there and really disappointing to hear

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: the other day. Just yesterday, I think we're a planned

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: talk between the Stamford at Glenelg and the council. The

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Stamford canceled it because basically they didn't trust the council.

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: Stamford wanted to record the conversation and the reason is,

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: they say, because previous conversations have been taken out of

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: context and comments misconstrued, so they wanted to have a

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: recorded version of the conversation. The council wouldn't accept that,

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: so the Stamford canceled the meeting. Don't blame them, frankly, gosh,

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: this is a terrible situation for traders there. Ian Matheson

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: runs Marlou Galleries, which is in Jeti Road itself and

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: has obviously been feeling the pain of the upgrades along

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the street. Ian, good evening, how are you many all right,

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: So what's what's the latest, what's been going on this week?

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: So despite all of this, like we had, the mayor

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: Amanda Wilson insisted with the Advertiser this morning and I

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: she said, the Jenny Road redevelopment is going flawlessly. And

22
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: this was said despite six businesses already being forced to close.

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: So with no answer that has ever been given to

24
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: most the most important question is why are they forced

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: to close? If everything is so flawless, then why I

26
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: have established businesses with decades of history collapsing under pressure? Yeah?

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, for me going around, I talked to a

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: lot of traders down down Jenny Road and you know,

29
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: businesses are normally up by seventy five percent during this

30
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: peak period and now reporting almost eighty percent downturn. And

31
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: it's not a seasonal fluctuation. Is this is the collapse

32
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: of Jetty Road. You know, we're seeing we're seeing the

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: construction workers on site for barely five hours a day,

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: so roughly that works out to be roughly twenty five

35
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: hours a week. And despite that, progress remains painfully slowly.

36
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: The foot traffics of that parade, the tourists are being

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: turned away by word of mouth warnings from those who

38
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: have already seen the chaos. There's still no meaningful communication

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: with the traders, so we're left operating in the dark,

40
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: hoping that answers well. The situation is first by the day.

41
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: Okay, have they now I understand or correct me if

42
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I'm sure I saw some comments just in

43
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: the last little while, the last few days saying the

44
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: council was moving ahead of its timetable and this might

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: all be over sooner than later. Is that correct?

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: Look from I don't know who to council talked who

47
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: when they do this, But I'm talking to outside ideas,

48
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: which is the the guys in charge of the road.

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: They're telling myself and some of my colleagues that are

50
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: ringing them finding out some information that they're actually behind. Now,

51
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: like you know, like the Stanford, we we don't know

52
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: who to believe here. You've getten one story one way,

53
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: one story the other way. You know the other thing

54
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: I was trying to I rang, I rang counsel this

55
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: morning and tried to tried to talk to someone. You know,

56
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: We've I've recorded eighty seven people that I've had their

57
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: lives up ended, losing, losing their jobs because businesses can't

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: sustain their staff anymore. You know, these are real families

59
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: suddenly with no income, stability or certainty. And it's kind

60
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: of disgusting, how you know. I mean, it's not it's

61
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: not the business's fault. Really, it's what's going on, you know.

62
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: You know, like I said a few a few weeks ago,

63
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: is that I went to the airport. I talked to

64
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: a few people getting off a plane. They said, no,

65
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: Glenelg's a bit of a dump. And now now getting

66
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: words from people on cruise ships. We had some guy

67
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: come in today that was a leading gackhand on the

68
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: spirit of Tasmania and yeah they're getting they're getting the

69
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: same thing that glen Elgi is a dump. Don't come here.

70
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: It's disgusting and we need to change it.

71
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's it. But you know in the meantime,

72
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna it's not going to change quickly,

73
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: is it. That's the issue. I mean, when councils do these,

74
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: you'd think they would have these upgrades. You'd think they

75
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: would have planned this right down because around Saint Andrews

76
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: in the city is an example, right St Andrews on

77
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: Hospital on St. South Terrace. There's a side street just

78
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: to the west of it called vin Street, and Vincent

79
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: Street runs from South Terrace to Gillis Street and down

80
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: the side. There's another little bit of it that sort

81
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: of dog legs off and comes out on Gilla Street

82
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: a bit further to the west as well. In the

83
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Hut Street just kind of does this like a square

84
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: around some houses and joins up to the main part

85
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: of the street next to St. Andrew's Hospital. They've just

86
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: recently paved the whole lot. Now it would be in

87
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: total I don't know, one hundred and fifty meters the

88
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: straight bit and the dog leg around all of that

89
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: one hundred It's taken them five months and all it

90
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: is is rip up the bitchum and I guess they've

91
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: put underling, you know, electrical cables. I don't know what

92
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: else they've done and planning, you know, plants and landscaping it.

93
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: But five months now, I don't know. I reckon and

94
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: I could do it in a week. It's just it's

95
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: just crazy how long it takes. I don't understand it.

96
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: They are people there working every day.

97
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: There is people working there every day. But what I

98
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: mean I'm taking pictures every day and I'm watching ten

99
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: fifteen of them standing around watching watching someone lay a

100
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: couple of PAVs, you know for me like if I mean,

101
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: I'm a hard working Australian and if you're going to

102
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: stand there and look pretty well, there's plenty of clothing

103
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 2: shops that will that would love to have you modeling

104
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: for them down Jenny Road, that's for sure.

105
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Well you know, what can we say, Ian

106
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: accept just you know, try And your end is finished though,

107
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: isn't it. You're down the Eastern end.

108
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're down the Eastern end. But it's funny.

109
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: It's funny because people say, oh, you're down the East end.

110
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: It's already finished and everything's done, but we still have

111
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: the impact of the western end.

112
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah you do.

113
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: No, no one, no one wants to come down. No

114
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: one wants to come up.

115
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the fact is without trams as well. I mean,

116
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: that's that's the other half of this equation. Only the

117
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: road works don't help. But the fact there are no

118
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: trams is just compounding all of that because no one's

119
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: coming there.

120
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: No, that's right. And the free parking that's on Partridge Street,

121
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: which the counts have made free parking. They're all parking

122
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: there because they can't get a park at Coals or Woolies.

123
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: And then they're going over there. They're skipping, they're skipping

124
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: all these shops because they're walking through the cinema car

125
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 2: park to get to Woolies or they're walking through cheapest

126
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: chips the business because you can go either way to

127
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: get to Woolies. They're totally missing the rest of the shops.

128
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not helping at all.

129
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it is hard because you've got you've got

130
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: you've got places that have hard working Australians and they've

131
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: been there for thirty forty years that are now you know,

132
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: they're questioning, you know, trades really down, foot traffics down.

133
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: Have I going to survive to Christmas? That's the biggest

134
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: question that everyone's asked themselves at the moment. I mean,

135
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: some businesses have their occasional good day, but there's a

136
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: lot of them that are going right even are we

137
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: even going to be here in twenty twenty six, Amanda

138
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: Wilson has stated multiple times, But it's you know, if

139
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: they're not there by twenty twenty six, that's okay. We'll

140
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: just put in your business.

141
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly well, that's it's right. That's not helpful.

142
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, not even no care factor in the world.

143
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look when I when I read the other

144
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: day the comments from the Stanford about the Council essentially

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: saying we don't trust you not to misrepresent the outcome

146
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: of the meeting and what is said at the meeting.

147
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: To me, that's that's a red flag that says it's

148
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: time for the council to go. Don't worry for elections

149
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: next year, you need them now and everybody from the

150
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: Lord Mayor or the councilors stand down. We'll have new

151
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: elections in Glenelk.

152
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's exactly right. And a lot of people

153
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: are saying the same thing is that you know, where's

154
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: where where can you go for help when no one

155
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: wants to help you and it's really hard. I mean

156
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: I had a few few of the traders told me

157
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: they walked into like the centerling down on Jedi Road

158
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: and asked for some relief and because they're not on

159
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: a payment, they can't get relief. I've reached out to

160
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: Tom Kitts and kutsin Toonus and asked him if there

161
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: was any budget to help in crisis payments wise to

162
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: help Jenni Road. No, there is none. I said, well

163
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: there should be, because when the council and the mayor

164
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: is not listening to the people, what trust do they

165
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: have within themselves to say, well, we need to go somewhere.

166
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't reckon you're going to get a sympathetic

167
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: hearing from the state government though, And you know, maybe

168
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 1: this is unfair, but people have said it on the

169
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: radio that the government is slightly miffed with the mayor

170
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: because she stood for the Liberal Party in the seat

171
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: of Black at the by election. Therefore, you know they're

172
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: letting her cop this nice and sweet.

173
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's exactly right. And like we've been told

174
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: by by state state leaders, it is punishment and we're

175
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: the collateral. And to be honest, these are people's lives

176
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: you're playing with these This is not how can it

177
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: be collateral?

178
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't know if that's true or not,

179
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: but you'd think, you know, between the two of them,

180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: state and local, the council, they'd want to come in.

181
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: And I mean part of it is the trams aren't running.

182
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Yeah, but if I if I can.

183
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: If I can close with one one comment is that

184
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: I'm asking all the listeners and all all members of

185
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: the public please don't worry about the roadworks, please come

186
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: down and support local business. I want, I want everyone

187
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: to try and start celebrating local and really rediscover Jetty

188
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Road because although the roadworks are happening, businesses are struggling

189
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: quite a lot, and we just love uses this walk

190
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: in and you know, have a bit of a talk

191
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: with us and maybe buy something, you know, because it's

192
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: it's what makes us happy at the end of the day,

193
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: because we're there for you. We're supporting the customers for

194
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: so long, and it's it's just nice to get that back.

195
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Ian, just the thought somebody called in

196
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: a few nights ago, earlier this week, I reckon and said,

197
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: because there's no pageant up Jenny Road this year, obviously

198
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: that why don't you do what we did during COVID

199
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: have the pageant at Glenelgoble so everyone could enjoy that.

200
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: But you know, on top of that, just the thought

201
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: that goes with it. While having the pageant there probably

202
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: too late to organize now, but we're still in November,

203
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: so you know, get yourself some stalls set up at

204
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: Jenny at Glenell Goble as well, and have the traders

205
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: set up down there so you can you can make

206
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: some sales.

207
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: Funny, I say that because I actually asked them. I

208
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: actually asked counsel. I said, you've already blocked off between

209
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: Partridge and Mosley Square. I said, how much inconvenience would

210
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: it be to block the rest of the road off

211
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: and bring all the traders up for a street party

212
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: once a week exactly? I said, all those traders would benefit.

213
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: The public would start coming down because they don't have

214
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: to go past Partridge Street Gordon Street, and it would

215
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: be so much, so much influenced for Glennell to bring

216
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: people back down. It could be the stepping stone that works.

217
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: But council not to be back saying no, we've got

218
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: to pay ten thousand dollars every single time that happens,

219
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: and we're not willing to do it. Well, if you're

220
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: not willing to help, then don't help.

221
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well that's right, and they're not being very helpful,

222
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: that's for sure.

223
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: No. No, but I do like your idea and I

224
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: think I think I might reach out to the gladowd

225
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: Football Club and see what we can do.

226
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know what a way to do it.

227
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: You have the pageant there, just like we did with

228
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: the Adelaide Oval and COVID with the main Christmas pageant

229
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: the National Pharmacies one. And at the same time you

230
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: you have the traders down there, installs, marquees whatever and

231
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: make some sales and you.

232
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 2: Would that would be good. The other thing is, before

233
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: I forget is the new z. I was talking to

234
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: counsel and you know I've got there's there's quite a

235
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: big lineup of artists that would love to do it

236
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: at Glenelg and stuff. And I said to them, all

237
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: these guys have to do is get the stage done

238
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: and we can organize some free entertainment through some big

239
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: names and all big names and Adelaide I should take

240
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: And they turned tenn to me ANDOS will think about it.

241
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 2: So I gave them a timeline, I said, times of

242
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: the essence because obviously all these other artists they want

243
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 2: to be playing all around Australia. So they've got a

244
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: book stuff in two and the council have just left

245
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: it too long now and now we're at the stage

246
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: where is there even going to be any entertainment for

247
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: New Years down there, And I mean, you know everyone

248
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: loves going to Glenelg on New Year's and watching the

249
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: fireworks and what. You can't have any music, you can't

250
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: have any any food, trucks or anything like that down there. Ridiculous.

251
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: Good lucky and keep us in the loop. Thank you

252
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: very much, Matte, Thank you all right, yep, and especially

253
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: if you get the pageant up or even New Year's

254
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: e for that matter. I see police today have put

255
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: out a statement about additional powers to ensure public order

256
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: and safety is maintained across Glenelg's Entertainment district, commencing today

257
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: through to Monday, April thirteen. Glenelg is a declared public

258
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: precinct to operate for a period of twelve hours from

259
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: three pm to three am every Friday, Saturday and Sunday

260
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: into Monday morning. Different boundaries around but for a few

261
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: blocks either side of Jetty Road and all the way

262
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: down to Morphett Road. Sorry to to Brighton wrote from

263
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: the beach, but you know what about the most mischief

264
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: that could occur as a contractor misparking a bobcat. I

265
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: suspect because no one else is down there, so I

266
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: don't know what a public disorder is going to happen,

267
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: other than, as I say, a bobcat parked in the

268
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: wrong spot. It would be about the most upsetting thing unreal
