1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Sorry to hear this news at MINDA where they've had

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: a break in over the weekend. I gather in their

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: sheds there at Brighton, and some very special therapy bikes

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: have been stolen. Donna Evans is manager down at Minderan

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: joins me. Now, Donna, good morning.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Good morning, Matthew.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me now, this is terrible. I imagine

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: you're still looking for them, Oh.

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: For sure, yeah, yeah. These are very special pieces of

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: equipment for us and we really would like to have

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: them returned.

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Yes, how many did you have?

13
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: We had three bikes, So I suppose people that don't

14
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: really understand what MINDA does. We support people living with

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: an intellectual disability to live their best life. We have

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: a series of services that support that, and one of

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: them is our Allied Health team and they use these

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: bikes to help people improve their physical function and their

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: gross motor skills and obviously gain confidence and be out

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: in the community a lot more like like we all want.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: We lost three bikes over the weekend. They're quite distinctive.

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: One is a tandem bicycle. It's bright blue, and when

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: I say tandem, it's not like the tandem bikes where

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: you sit behind each other like we might hire at

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: the beach or something for a bit of fun. This

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: is a side by side handed bike with dual controls,

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: so it's very specific for its use.

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: So they're side side by side bikes basically with the

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: frame connecting the two bikes together.

30
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's right. So there was one of those stolen,

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: a bright blue one. We also had a tricycle stolen

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: which was purple, and then a two wheeler which is

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: gray and pink. But they're all they're all custom bikes.

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: They all have custom footholds and controls and handles and

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: things like that, so it's not as though, you know,

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: you probably wouldn't want to be using them on the

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: footpath or something like that. Yeah.

38
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: And distinctive obviously from what you.

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Say in color, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, they're bright colors

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: and quite distinctive.

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So no idea where they've gone. It could

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: be anywhere now, but obviously if anyone sees them around

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the place, let you know, let police know.

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, of course. And we've got photos on

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: our social media if people want to see what they

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: actually do look like, and if they do see them, yes,

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: please contact the police or contact us on one eight

48
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: hundred one six four sixty three to two, and we

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: would obviously love to have them back.

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: I imagine your staff have got some choice words, but I

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: mean heartless is a safe one we could use. That's

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: what it is. It's just heartless, what it is.

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: We've got one particular client that travels an hour each

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: way every week to use that pandom bite, right, and

55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: it's not here now. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, it's very

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: very disappointing for both the staff and the clients.

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so these bikes are missing stolen what on the weekend?

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday over the long weekend, wasn't it? So

59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: maybe Monday as well?

60
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we're unsure exactly what day they were stolen,

61
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: but somebody, as you said, has broken in and taken

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: these three bikes.

63
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Sure what value would they have? I mean, especially designed

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: you can't presumably you can't unsell them because of the

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: features they've got, well not easily anyway. I don't imagine

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: so specific purpose and use and pointless for anyone else

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: to have them. So all right, see hopefully they turn up.

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, pointless for anyone else to have them. But also

69
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: you know it really takes away from people that are

70
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: trying to build their strength, build their motor skills, build

71
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: their coordination, get a lot more confident. So you know,

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: as you say, they are invaluable.

73
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, well, Donald, let's hope they turn up. Thank you

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: for your time this morning.

75
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: No, we really appreciate everyone that's spreading the word on this.

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: A lot of the community has got right behind it.

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: So we're looking forward to the return of the bike.

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I hope that does happen sooner than later. Took.

79
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: You're Donna, Donna Evans, manager at Minda on bikes. They

80
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: had stolen at some point over the long weekend. So

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: if you do see them around them very distinctive, as

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: she said, especially the tandem one bright blue. But if

83
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: you can help out or have any information, call me

84
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: into or call police because police are obviously alerted to

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: this too, this break in and are out there searching

86
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: for them as well. Bill at Plimpton Morning, Bill.

87
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: Kiddo, Matthew, I've tried to give this as short as

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: I can. Regarding a Medicare matter, my mum's eighty eight

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: years old. She's been issued with a new Medicare card

90
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: which doesn't work apparently the date of birth. When they

91
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: reissued it, they punched in the wrong birthday. Now, Mum

92
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: had an MRI last night. They did for a braak

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 3: on a brain. They reckoned she may have been a

94
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: stroke and her speech is impaired at the moment. Yeah,

95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: so I rang up there, I rang up Medicaid. I'd

96
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: have gone twenty four a line who left the hospital.

97
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: I was on hold for an hour. Finally got through.

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: I was just wanted to get a forager to speak

99
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: on mum's behalf, and Mum being Greek, she was unable

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: to understand the lady. She understands some English, she couldn't

101
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: read out the card details, so I read them out

102
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: for her, and then the lady goes, Okay, you got

103
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: to keep quiet. Now I'm going to ask your mum's

104
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: security question. I said, Mom can't talk at the moment.

105
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: She's had an MRI. On the provisity she may have

106
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: had a stroke. Anyway, she asked Mum for to read

107
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: out her name and her birthday, and I just explained

108
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: to Mum and Greek, just tell the lady your mum

109
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: and the lady goes, I've got to stop you there.

110
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: You can't help you mumm in that respect, I said, well,

111
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: where do you go from here? Mum's be insued a card.

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: It's not her fault which she can't use. She go,

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: you got to go to the office and take paperwork

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: and get this done. This is no fault of my

115
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: mum's admits. Mediki have done this, and I'm just wondering,

116
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: is there anything we can do? You know eight years old, yep,

117
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden a midykick hard. Those doesn't work.

118
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Bill. You hold the line there, We'll get your details

119
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and we'll get in touch with Hank Jongan's people at

120
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: Services Australia to sort this out for you. Because that's

121
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: pretty straightforward, I would think. So just give John A

122
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: your details and we'll put that in touch. We'll put

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: you in touch with Hank Jongan's people at Services Australia

124
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: to deal that out. We might need the Medicare number

125
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: or some other details as well, but if you've got

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: all that handy, we will pass all that on if

127
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: we get you permission to do that. Thank you for

128
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: calling and we will sort that out for you relatively easily.

129
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I would think, good riddance to a shameful chapter in

130
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: essays past says the RSPCA Parliamentary Committee considering a bill

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: to phase out the live sheep export industry. The RSPCA

132
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: here in essay celebrating the fact that it has been

133
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: six years since the last sheep were shipped out of

134
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: South Australia. Eleventh of May twenty eighteen, arrived at its

135
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: Middle East destination almost a month later, left here at

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: sixteen degrees and where it landed in Kuwait it was

137
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: forty mid forties, so six hundred sheep died according to

138
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: an independent observer report on the thirty day voyage before

139
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: the ship docked in Kuwait. So they're celebrating that fact.

140
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: The only sheep export from Australia now is in Wa

141
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: is where it happens from. And we'll see what happens

142
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: with the Parliamentary Committee considering a bill at the moment

143
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: to stop the live sheep export trade out of Australia.

144
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: Great work, says this person on the text line that

145
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: MINDA and other not for profit organizations do sad this

146
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: has happened. Children under the Minister are clever at getting

147
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: into sheds and apartments, car parks and stealing for fun

148
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: or a quick dollar. Sad, and I hope they're found

149
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: the bikes are found in the right condition. Indeed, they've

150
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: got to be sitting somewhere. I mean the tandem bike.

151
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: It would be at least a meter across, so people

152
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: can sit side by side on two separate bikes joined together,

153
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: and obviously bike lengths, so what another meter and a

154
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: half needs a bit of storage in a shed or

155
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: a backyard somewhere is where it would be right now,

156
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: and hopefully they can recover them
