Speaker 2: I've got to say congratulations to Roger and his team
Speaker 2: here who've done such an incredible job.
Speaker 1: It has been magnificent to be here for the past
Speaker 1: a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Alas I don't play golf, but if you have the chance,
Speaker 2: you've got to come here and come here very soon now.
Speaker 2: Of course tonight we're going to be here in jodle Up,
Speaker 2: which is in the suburb of Perth, and we are
Speaker 2: going to celebrate not just this area, but this city,
Speaker 2: this state.
Speaker 1: There is so much to see and do here. You've
Speaker 1: got to come not.
Speaker 2: Just for a weekend, but come for a whole lot
Speaker 2: longer than that. It is a magical part of Australia.
Speaker 2: As you know, we're in port Headland just a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago, where the sunsets were magnificent. Here in
Speaker 2: the West they are tremendous. Wherever you happen to be,
Speaker 2: everyone's welcome in Western Australia, unless, of course, you're a
Speaker 2: cargo ship driver and you want to knock something over
Speaker 2: in Fremantle.
Speaker 1: Blah blah bly not amazing.
Speaker 2: Like there's this like proper toil ship, this beautiful, wonderful.
Speaker 2: Everyone's chipped in a dollar of their own money and
Speaker 2: some persons come in and gone borm boom and knocked
Speaker 2: it over. Anyway, we'll see what happens there. And also
Speaker 2: Rotnest Island. One of the great thrills to be in
Speaker 2: this part of the world and to be in Australia.
Speaker 1: And yes, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: There's quackers on the teery now before we get into
Speaker 2: the news, the show and everything else. Happy Father's Day.
Speaker 2: All the dad's in the room, give them a round
Speaker 2: of applaud Well.
Speaker 1: Done dad, well done dad, well done dad, How good
Speaker 1: are you?
Speaker 2: Also a shout out to all of our team who
Speaker 2: have been here making the most of their time in
Speaker 2: Wa but obviously their kids are back at home. To
Speaker 2: everyone who's not with their kids or hasn't seen them
Speaker 2: in a while. Strength and love all of you to
Speaker 2: everyone who doesn't have a dad who's with them anymore.
Speaker 2: As always we think of you one days like this
Speaker 2: and allow me a moment just to say how privileged
Speaker 2: I am to be a dad of two beautiful little
Speaker 2: girls who will change the world in whatever way they
Speaker 2: want to, who I cheer on every day and make me.
Speaker 1: Laugh all the time.
Speaker 2: To Asher and Zadi, I love you, and anytime you
Speaker 2: want to go to time zone, it's on me as
Speaker 2: much as you want, whenever you want, wherever you want.
Speaker 2: And yes, you can have whatever you want to drink
Speaker 2: and we won't tell mum.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: One of the other things that is central to this day,
Speaker 2: this celebration of the dads in our lives, well there's
Speaker 2: the old dad joke.
Speaker 1: Now we all know what.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about, but it's an excuse to place I'm
Speaker 2: on television.
Speaker 1: My ex girlfriend said I was too pretentious.
Speaker 2: Brilliant, brilliant, like everything's in that gag. Like Okay, when
Speaker 2: I was twenty five, it wasn't weird enough, but I
Speaker 2: like that joke now now, of course, dad jokes they
Speaker 2: don't always have to be little odd sometimes they can
Speaker 2: be odd but awesome. Again an excuse just to play
Speaker 2: them on television.
Speaker 1: I went to the ear doctor the other day.
Speaker 4: He said, I'm going death.
Speaker 1: It was really hard to hear this is your captain speaking,
Speaker 1: and this is your county shouting. What did the parents
Speaker 1: say when he turned edie? I maybe? How good?
Speaker 2: So all right in that spirit, there's also some news
Speaker 2: that apparently dad jokes are good for your health. Right,
Speaker 2: we all knew this, but finally science has come forward. Thankfully,
Speaker 2: the trillions of dollars that have been put into the
Speaker 2: higher education system finally produces something other than some left
Speaker 2: wing idiot now attentional fathers never stopped telling dad jokes
Speaker 2: because they're good for your health. According to a humor researcher,
Speaker 2: my old job, obviously, cringe comedy has a special tool
Speaker 2: that may well serve as a beneficial function for the
Speaker 2: very children who roll their eyes at them. This is
Speaker 2: immensely an event, mensely valuable, lesson, says somebody in the
Speaker 2: British psychological society, especially in toughening them up to cope
Speaker 2: with life.
Speaker 1: So a dad joke from me?
Speaker 2: How many stormtroopers does it take to change your light
Speaker 2: globe none because they're all.
Speaker 1: On the dark side.
Speaker 2: I just saved the life. I just saved the life.
Speaker 2: I saved the life just then, and I made.
Speaker 1: Sure that kids are okay into the future. All right,
Speaker 1: real stuff.
Speaker 2: So everyone in the southeast of the country, well you
Speaker 2: know whether there's been rather crappy this weekend. Let's start
Speaker 2: in Tasmania, where there's been particularly some flash flooding. The
Speaker 2: SEES has been responding to that all weekend. Again, to
Speaker 2: the professional people who go and do it, you're amazing.
Speaker 2: The volunteers who go and do it, you are even
Speaker 2: more amazing. Here's part of what the Tazzy SEES wants
Speaker 2: you to know tonight ahead of potential flash flooding.
Speaker 5: It's going to be a really dangerous period we're coming
Speaker 5: up to over the next twenty four hours. We really
Speaker 5: ask people that continue to monitor the condition and make
Speaker 5: good decisions. We ask the community to prepare their homes
Speaker 5: for high winds, secure outdoor items and be aware of
Speaker 5: down trees and downpower lines.
Speaker 2: A little further up in Victoria again, massive problems there.
Speaker 2: The wind seems to have been quite an issue.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: The best part of six hundred homes needed to be
Speaker 2: repaired and something like thirty thousand or even a little
Speaker 2: more have lost power. No that's not because of renewables,
Speaker 2: but because of what's actually been happening. When it comes
Speaker 2: to the winds and rain again, an authority in Victoria
Speaker 2: with what you should know there.
Speaker 6: It is likely that the destructive, destructive and damaging winds
Speaker 6: are going to result in a lot more trees down,
Speaker 6: more houses without power, building damage, road closures and possibly
Speaker 6: network possibly impacts on the transport networks.
Speaker 2: Rather now, as you know, we're in Perth tonight, beautiful
Speaker 2: Western Australia. It is always too long between drinks here
Speaker 2: when we get to visit, but every time we do,
Speaker 2: our minds are blown by how beautiful and amazing this
Speaker 2: place is. The people are always absolutely delightful, even a
Speaker 2: couple who look the other way when you get yourself
Speaker 2: bogged on a beach. But Brendan and his beautiful partner
Speaker 2: who did help me out at port Headland.
Speaker 1: Sorry for tomorrow night, thank you very much. But from
Speaker 1: page of.
Speaker 2: The newspaper to day The Sunday Times is a perfect
Speaker 2: reminder about the number one issue no matter where you
Speaker 2: are in the country, it is, of course the cost
Speaker 2: of living situation. This is a situation where they say
Speaker 2: that sick West Australians and our battling to pay cost
Speaker 2: of living crunches and are increasingly facing the choice between
Speaker 2: paying the private medical billshen we talked about that in
Speaker 2: some detail last week and if you have to give
Speaker 2: it up, meaning you have to give up sometimes on
Speaker 2: the care. Now, according to new data which has been
Speaker 2: given to the Paper to Day, where do they fork
Speaker 2: out one hundred dollars more than the average Australian when
Speaker 2: it comes to things like psychiatrists patients cough up pun
Speaker 2: intended an extra forty dollars. It comes to taking the
Speaker 2: kids to something like a pediatrician. Now, private specialist appointments
Speaker 2: with gastro enterologists they set WA patients back more and
Speaker 2: cardiologists are even more expensive than the rest of the country.
Speaker 2: But here's the story that in my view is frightening.
Speaker 2: Here is a story about the so called elective surgery
Speaker 2: game that we have mismanaged for far too long in Australia.
Speaker 2: We saw all of this during the pandemic, but we
Speaker 2: see this right now in Western Australia where the bloke
Speaker 2: who buggered up the health system here. Roger Cook is
Speaker 2: the premiere here. Now I know that there are four
Speaker 2: fifths of Bugger or people in the state opposition. May
Speaker 2: that not be the case after the next election, because
Speaker 2: this bloke has gone from running a system that was
Speaker 2: a disgrace, record ramping that is a disgrace, to now
Speaker 2: a scenario where a woman felt something was wrong with
Speaker 2: her and she knew that she had to get an
Speaker 2: endoscopy because she was afraid that something was going wrong
Speaker 2: and she may well have cancer. This is the like
Speaker 2: that we're talking about here. Her name is a Kathy
Speaker 2: Hunter and she's from a Double View.
Speaker 1: She was told she would have to wait five.
Speaker 2: Months before she would be able to get a colonoscopy. Sorry,
Speaker 2: Kelly Hunter, my apologies. That was alarming, As she says,
Speaker 2: my body was telling me I needed.
Speaker 1: Access to this.
Speaker 2: Well, she was able to get a colonoscopy because she
Speaker 2: found a way around the system and because she didn't
Speaker 2: have to wait till December. They found thirty three polyps
Speaker 2: and the surgeon said they would have been cancerous by
Speaker 2: the end of the year. So she was in a
Speaker 2: moment where if she had had the test when she
Speaker 2: wanted the test, because her body said I need the test,
Speaker 2: no cancer. If she had waited till the system says sorry, love,
Speaker 2: you gotta wait, she may well have had cancer. I've
Speaker 2: had to actually wait for the she If I had
Speaker 2: to wait till the scheduled December timeline, there's a high
Speaker 2: chance those polyps in my bow would have turned into cancer.
Speaker 2: I am really lucky. I keep mentioning this because of
Speaker 2: everything going up has its consequences. It means that people
Speaker 2: may not have the possibility of having things like private
Speaker 2: healthcare to find a way around the public system.
Speaker 1: We've seen this when it.
Speaker 2: Comes to people who are measuring out their dosages, when
Speaker 2: it comes to medicines, and none of this is acceptable.
Speaker 2: This should be the lead story every night, but because
Speaker 2: the media has the attention span of the.
Speaker 1: Media, they don't.
Speaker 2: We remain focused on it because it's where Australians are.
Speaker 2: New poll out of the Financial Review it again says
Speaker 2: number one issue that the people of this country want
Speaker 2: the federal government to deal with is cost of living,
Speaker 2: then healthcare, then housing, affordability, energy down at twenty three.
Speaker 2: Although we know how important that is, but think about
Speaker 2: how much time is spent talking about it. But today
Speaker 2: Sydney newspapers. What was the main story that the Prime
Speaker 2: Minister was adding as a response to the health situation
Speaker 2: in Western Australia, the cost of living situation all.
Speaker 1: Around the country. He's put off his wedding.
Speaker 2: According to staffers, the Prime Minister and his fiance had
Speaker 2: planned to hold their wins and now we'll do so
Speaker 2: after the.
Speaker 1: Next election to avoid a distraction. What about this paragraph?
Speaker 2: Though only a canbra boot liquor would even think about
Speaker 2: this right The timing defy speculation of the wedding would
Speaker 2: precede the election to give Labor an electoral boost. Who
Speaker 2: is you know what, I'm really pissed off about those
Speaker 2: two little too late tax cuts. He's getting married, Well,
Speaker 2: then we vote twice then, like many people for Labor do. Allegedly,
Speaker 2: This again is the gulf between the people in the
Speaker 2: games they play in the bubble that protects the bubble
Speaker 2: and the reality, and the people who need systems to
Speaker 2: be fixed. They are not distracted, which is why you
Speaker 2: stick with us, and I am so thankful that you
Speaker 2: are each and every day. But of course, surprise, surprise,
Speaker 2: the real devil that was in the newspapers would be
Speaker 2: none other than Peter Dart and.
Speaker 1: So spooky and different. They write a whole thing about
Speaker 1: how his PUNEs are landing and his.
Speaker 2: Politics of division. Ac't you like when you just hold
Speaker 2: people accountable? That's division. But anyway, and also you may
Speaker 2: all have noticed on television here in Western Australia that
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of ads the Labor Party have launched
Speaker 2: trying to again all goog with scar scare scare that
Speaker 2: there's going to be a change to the GST carve
Speaker 2: out when it comes to Peter Dutton. I won't show
Speaker 2: you the ad with any words, but they're pulling quotes
Speaker 2: from twenty eighteen to try to make the point. Okay,
Speaker 2: update now about that story that to rock this all
Speaker 2: last week, and that was that poor little bubba being
Speaker 2: attacked in Brisbane. Mum taking their kid to a little
Speaker 2: baby to a park. We've all done it and some
Speaker 2: learn as it comes up and drops the hot coffee
Speaker 2: deliberately on top of them. Sadly that I have no
Speaker 2: update in terms of the man hunt, the police hunt.
Speaker 2: May they be found sooner rather than later. But we've
Speaker 2: got a little bit of an update via seven News,
Speaker 2: which is the Bubba is up and walking.
Speaker 7: Come on showing remarkable strength. A bandaged baby pushes past
Speaker 7: his pain for a cuddle with mum. Positive steps, just
Speaker 7: two days after the pair's picnic in a public park
Speaker 7: turned to horror.
Speaker 2: Please to say, while again it's a difficult, it's a
Speaker 2: very long road. We don't know if it's a whole
Speaker 2: world of skin grafts, but this was Mum talking.
Speaker 8: He seems like his happy self again, which is really
Speaker 8: nice to see because the last few days have been.
Speaker 2: Really, really good and how good are Australians Rather than
Speaker 2: just sitting back and being annoyed at their television or
Speaker 2: getting cranky at the radio. A whole bunch of people
Speaker 2: have given a football stadium's worth of money to this
Speaker 2: family and make sure I put the links up on
Speaker 2: our socials.
Speaker 7: At the end of the show, the tiny victim will
Speaker 7: face multiple surgeries, but it's still unclear what scars he
Speaker 7: may be left with for life. More than fifty thousand
Speaker 7: dollars has been raised to aid his recovery.
Speaker 8: It's restored my faith in the community and that there
Speaker 8: is kindness out there.
Speaker 2: All right, couple, Before we hop on the ferry and
Speaker 2: make our way toward Rotnest, island and celebrate everything here
Speaker 2: in Western Australia. As you know, it's great to see
Speaker 2: Australia versus India in the cricket. The crowds are magnificent,
Speaker 2: supporting both sides and that is what we are finally
Speaker 2: getting this summer, some good cricket worth watching here. Of
Speaker 2: course you'll see it all on Fox Sports. Huh, subtle plug.
Speaker 2: But as part of the lead up to all of
Speaker 2: this was an event which was held by the Australian Consulate.
Speaker 2: Thanks to you, the great Australian public, you were able
Speaker 2: to get people together and.
Speaker 1: Have a couple of cannapeys, little chitty chat.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and we apparently spent twenty thousand dollars flying
Speaker 2: a bloke over to play the digitido.
Speaker 1: Twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: So all you people who've been teaching your kids how
Speaker 2: to play guitar bug at that pick up the ditch
Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Seriously, that is ridiculous, all right.
Speaker 2: And when it comes to Kamala Harris and is my
Speaker 2: mate to send me a text message before the interview?
Speaker 2: Wise everyon's sitting around pretending this is the moon landing.
Speaker 2: A very good point because everyone was waiting for the
Speaker 2: first interview. Now I could sit here and as you know,
Speaker 2: I would like to do show you this bit and
Speaker 2: that that bit news bit of data, because sometimes I
Speaker 2: get carried away. Rather, let's just show a comparison between
Speaker 2: how sand In treats the Republican versus how they treat
Speaker 2: the Democrat roll it'sipe.
Speaker 9: Thank you so much for doing this. I appreciated, Senator.
Speaker 9: So you guys seem to be struggling a little bit
Speaker 9: with how to approach the new dynamic and Vice President
Speaker 9: Governor Wells, thank you so much for sitting down with
Speaker 9: me and bringing the bus. The bus store is well
Speaker 9: underway here in Georgia. If you are elected, what would
Speaker 9: you do on day one? In the White town Kamala
Speaker 9: Harris has two step children. Pete Bootage and his husband
Speaker 9: have adopted twins. Do you recognize them as parents and
Speaker 9: more broadly as been part of family. The photograph that
Speaker 9: has gone viral you were speaking one of your grandnieces
Speaker 9: that you were just talking about on that viral picture
Speaker 9: really says it.
Speaker 1: Bro from my mouth a little bit. Seriously.
Speaker 2: Now, if you think that's just something happens there, what
Speaker 2: about here in Australia. You may well be reading headlines
Speaker 2: like this in the Turnbull Times that Harris is tapping
Speaker 2: into a near record level of enthusiasm. Yay may the
Speaker 2: empty pants to be the next president of the United States. Well,
Speaker 2: you may well have also not seen this headline. Trump
Speaker 2: is back as the favorite to be the president, not
Speaker 2: just in the betting markets, but also Nate Silva has
Speaker 2: got in there at fifty five percent of winning the.
Speaker 1: Electoral College over Harris.
Speaker 2: Why because the states I always talk about, Pennsylvania and
Speaker 2: Nevada are now swinging back into his column.
Speaker 1: Trump fans in the room, I notice, fight, fight fight.
Speaker 2: Let's go all right now we even well, we had
Speaker 2: a lot of time in Rodest Island yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was amazing.
Speaker 2: It is one of those great places bucket lists stuff
Speaker 2: to be able to hang out with the Quakers. But
Speaker 2: there's so much more to do on the island as
Speaker 2: we did yesterday. Welcome to beautiful Rodnest Island otherwise known
Speaker 2: as Rodda the locals. This is a magnificent part of Australia.
Speaker 2: You have to come here now. As you know, whenever
Speaker 2: we are around the country, we go on everything from.
Speaker 1: A camel to a plane, to a.
Speaker 2: Bike, a trike, all the rest of it. But here
Speaker 2: the segue where you will see the immense power of
Speaker 2: a slightly overweight man leaning forward and back for your amusement.
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like this, and we've been everywhere
Speaker 2: in the country.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Normally when people go around the country, it's lots of
Speaker 2: rock and roll music.
Speaker 1: And fast edits.
Speaker 2: Let's just have a ten second holiday, enjoy this rottenest.
Speaker 1: Wow, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Now on, Ronnie, you can stay here, you can work here,
Speaker 2: but the most important resident here is the Quaker. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go all David attenbron you and
Speaker 2: know my history. Apart from the say hello, buddy, how
Speaker 2: are you.
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: The coucker is in charge here, not allowed to feed them,
Speaker 2: not allowed to touch them. But I'm going to try
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 1: Hello, how are you mate? Hello buddy?
Speaker 9: Hi?
Speaker 1: Now who do you like? Do you like Trump? Or
Speaker 1: do you like Kamala Albo or Dutton? Busy?
Speaker 2: Hello?
Speaker 1: Are you going to try and eat me? You are? Hello? Buddy?
Speaker 1: You didn't like it too much fun? That was an
Speaker 1: amazing experience. Thank you, justin You're most welcome. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. You've got the best office in Western Australia.
Speaker 2: It's not bad is that you've had a bit look
Speaker 2: at my bad of one.
Speaker 1: An incredible thing.
Speaker 2: I mean also, you know the nature is so obvious,
Speaker 2: but there's such a human story here as well, like
Speaker 2: a prison where indigenous people have been very poorly treated
Speaker 2: for a long time.
Speaker 1: You are so.
Speaker 2: Sensitive to telling everyone about the full story of the island.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So we want to get here and we want to.
Speaker 1: Bridge that gap and bring everyone together. This is islands
Speaker 1: for everyone.
Speaker 10: Yeah, rutt, this island watch them up place to be
Speaker 10: very cool.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Of course you can come here, you can stay here,
Speaker 2: you can visit here, but if, like us, the fairy
Speaker 2: is about to go, you have to leave here right now,
Speaker 2: right now there.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Bye, Thank you to everyone, and writing justin to thank
Speaker 2: you for taking care of us. Toop likes to represent ectididities,
Speaker 2: bereutifully keep it going, Basil Zempus.
Speaker 1: Of course nonether than the mirror of Perth.
Speaker 2: And a like on they're here in pole up a
Speaker 2: Sundon Albert dacb Gentlemen's us all all right, let's start
Speaker 2: with the super local.
Speaker 1: Then we'll get the city wide perspective.
Speaker 2: Tell us about this part of per and the country
Speaker 2: and why it's such a pleasure to represent it.
Speaker 1: Great thanks Paulin, Thanks for visiting. The city of Journaler.
Speaker 11: One of the largest local government areas in Wa, so
Speaker 11: about one hundred and sixty five thousand people, but it's
Speaker 11: also one of the newest. So this is twenty two
Speaker 11: suburbs along the beautiful Indian Ocean that developed in the
Speaker 11: last forty or fifty years. Nearly half our population here
Speaker 11: have come in from somewhere else overseas, so really high
Speaker 11: level of migrants, but mainly from South Africa, from UK, Ireland,
Speaker 11: New Zealand, and then increasingly in recent years, from all.
Speaker 1: Over the world.
Speaker 11: So you've got these brand new communities that have formed
Speaker 11: in recent decades and an exciting place to be in.
Speaker 11: It's a prosperous place because we're here in Wa. We're
Speaker 11: close to Perth, but we're also near the beach and
Speaker 11: we're still creating an identity for ours elves.
Speaker 2: This feels like the microcosm of the biggest city, which
Speaker 2: again is the same this story of people many got
Speaker 2: on there, he got in the south, but again house
Speaker 2: Perth doing.
Speaker 1: Obviously under your mayorship.
Speaker 2: You'll say better than ever, but give me an idea
Speaker 2: of the seats of how Yeah, you're.
Speaker 1: Quite right, Paul Betan.
Speaker 4: We did bounce back out of Covid better than any
Speaker 4: other capital city, partly because our lockdowns were so few
Speaker 4: compared to other capital cities. Number one for office occupancy,
Speaker 4: Six of the top ten ASX listed companies headquartered right
Speaker 4: in the heart of our city. And we're on the
Speaker 4: same times on a sixty percent of the world's population.
Speaker 4: So we're in a good spot in a very prosperous state.
Speaker 4: The capital city of Western Australia also a university, Edith
Speaker 4: Cowan University about to take off right in the heart
Speaker 4: of the city.
Speaker 1: We haven't had that in the heart of our city.
Speaker 4: That's ten thousand people added to the daily population of
Speaker 4: our city in it eighteen months time. So the shape
Speaker 4: of our city is changing as well. A lot more residents,
Speaker 4: a lot of student accommodation, huge vibrancy, great free events program.
Speaker 1: Perth is in great shape.
Speaker 2: Now you can both as locals, can answer this question,
Speaker 2: what is something that is uniquely awesome about being a
Speaker 2: Western Australian. What is the thing that is different about
Speaker 2: the way people interact compared to people who might be
Speaker 2: used to the grunts of Sydney and Melbourne. Yes, and
Speaker 2: laid back in Brisbane. But Basil, what's that thing that
Speaker 2: is only.
Speaker 1: A Perth Yeah, I'm happy to go.
Speaker 4: Look, there's always been a great confidence that Western Australians
Speaker 4: and Perth people have enjoyed. We always knew growing up
Speaker 4: that Sydney and Melbourne were the big cities, but never
Speaker 4: ever felt inferior. We always had our own thing going on.
Speaker 4: We had a great entrepreneurial streak, a great confidence. Maybe
Speaker 4: it was the isolation that gave us that. So there
Speaker 4: was always a profound sense of let's just get on
Speaker 4: and do it. And that has been the spirit that
Speaker 4: has carried Perth and Western Australia all of my life.
Speaker 4: I'm in my fifties now, I've only ever known it
Speaker 4: that way.
Speaker 11: I think you're right, the sense of pride we have
Speaker 11: in the economy that we've built. You can never underestimate
Speaker 11: how deeply proud our local communities of the resource industry
Speaker 11: in Wa and I think the East Coast misses that
Speaker 11: a lot. We're proud of our mining industry, We're proud
Speaker 11: of our all in gas industry. We're proud that we
Speaker 11: economically prop up the rest of this country, especially proud
Speaker 11: that we've done it with such a tiny population in
Speaker 11: such a large state. One of the things that makes
Speaker 11: us so special as well is this tiny population is
Speaker 11: how small a degree of separation there is between us.
Speaker 1: Now, well, Basil might be Phil here is jap City
Speaker 1: Center launching.
Speaker 2: Look at this when he was there as the celebrity guest.
Speaker 1: That haircut, that's.
Speaker 4: Not a regulation haircut. No mayor should have a haircut
Speaker 4: like that, or a tie like that one for that matter.
Speaker 11: Well, it's we're compulsory in the nineties.
Speaker 1: But it's good to have you back again. Thank you.
Speaker 4: It's great to be back in jin like. That's Carmen Lawrence,
Speaker 4: the former premier, former first female Premier of Western Australia
Speaker 4: think in fact, the first female premiere in Australia and
Speaker 4: labor Premier of Western Australia.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about what the state needs, what the
Speaker 2: East Coast needs to change, either its perceptions or more importantly,
Speaker 2: what you want out of Canberra. You, obviously, as a
Speaker 2: local government officials have got the chance to bind together
Speaker 2: in a state, but also travel over with our mate
Speaker 2: Linda Scott to be along with many other mayors around
Speaker 2: the joint.
Speaker 1: What do you think that you'd like as a change
Speaker 1: in attitude of Canberra either towards.
Speaker 2: This bit specifically or Perth generally. Apart from more money please.
Speaker 11: It's always more money please, But you know what, just
Speaker 11: please don't stuff it up for us, don't get in
Speaker 11: the way, don't overregulate, particularly environmentally, some of the recent
Speaker 11: moves in Aboriginal heritage on the East Coast. You're going
Speaker 11: to make way very nervous. We're proud of what we've
Speaker 11: built and having CAMBU bureaucrats trying to regulate what happens
Speaker 11: here in Western Australia is going to be a death
Speaker 11: knell for that industry that props up our country and
Speaker 11: leave the live sheep alone.
Speaker 1: By the way, you've heard it before.
Speaker 4: When mining does well, Western Australia does well, and Australia
Speaker 4: certainly does well, and Albert's absolutely spot on, get out
Speaker 4: of the way, assist, but don't get in the way.
Speaker 4: Let those big projects and our big miners get on
Speaker 4: with adding to the prosperity of our nation.
Speaker 2: That's what they were Donia boys, Thank you for representing
Speaker 2: more than the way you do.
Speaker 1: All the best.
Speaker 2: Happy Father's say, Happy father trick, break back with more
Speaker 2: here on poor Murray life.
Speaker 1: Welcome back here to yougle up in Perth. We will
Speaker 1: up in Perth now.
Speaker 2: Also, look, you know it goes without saying, but today's
Speaker 2: weird day Father's Day. Of course, my little boy Leo
Speaker 2: isn't with us. I mentioned before about how there's people
Speaker 2: who would love to be here who aren't here anymore,
Speaker 2: which means we should really be honest about what that
Speaker 2: feeling is like and how to deal with things like grief.
Speaker 2: And as tough as that may sound, we will go
Speaker 2: through it. We all have to engage with it in
Speaker 2: some way, shape or form. And certainly I know that
Speaker 2: being able to sit around in a group and talk
Speaker 2: about things or having friends that come out of that
Speaker 2: group is really important. And then there's other ways that
Speaker 2: people can can reach out. And someone who's done incredible
Speaker 2: things and has been recognized by the Shine Awards and
Speaker 2: is very heavily supported by our dear friends at Harvey
Speaker 2: Norman Mariarty, she runs a thing called Grief Connect And
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about this to sect, but give
Speaker 2: her a round of applause. She's awesome, And what we
Speaker 2: do is incredibly because you have to carry the load
Speaker 2: as well. You've got your own story. Days like this,
Speaker 2: Mother's Day, Christmas Day, birthdays, there are all those days
Speaker 2: that bring it home for us. And it's really important
Speaker 2: that we just find a way to keep going, isn't
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if it's just a millimeter that we
Speaker 2: step forward, But we just got to keep going, don't we.
Speaker 3: Absolutely so, it is a day at a time, or
Speaker 3: an hour at a time, or a minute at a time.
Speaker 3: And I was widowed in twenty eighteen, so it really
Speaker 3: was back then one minute at a time or one
Speaker 3: hour at a time. So days that Father's Day can
Speaker 3: be an event day can be really tricky and challenging.
Speaker 3: If you're anyone that's experiencing.
Speaker 2: Grief, Well, it's that thing where and whether that grief
Speaker 2: comes out of tragedy, illness, natural life circumstances. Once you
Speaker 2: start to see the posters having other's day, Happy Father's,
Speaker 2: Happy Mother's Day, Happy Valentine's, what there's this It's not
Speaker 2: just the day, it's the sort of echoes around it.
Speaker 2: For some of the people that'll just be April fourth.
Speaker 2: Whatever those things are, the change of seasons and footy
Speaker 2: starting or forty five. There's all these things that remind
Speaker 2: us you've got together. And as part of the Grief
Speaker 2: Language Project, you are trying to give people some practical
Speaker 2: things that they would be able to help somebody who
Speaker 2: needs to be pulled through the darkness.
Speaker 1: Tell me what this is about.
Speaker 3: So my experience of grief was that I didn't know
Speaker 3: what to do or say. It was such a shock.
Speaker 3: And then also my dad died about eighteen months ago,
Speaker 3: and again my mum's now we don't or I had
Speaker 3: to find out what to do and say to support her.
Speaker 3: And I found that during my own experience a lot
Speaker 3: of people around me wanted to help, and they had
Speaker 3: good intentions, but they didn't know what to say or
Speaker 3: do to help me alone my grief journey. So the
Speaker 3: Grief Language Project Connect Cards are fifty cards of helpful
Speaker 3: guidance that increase confidence in supporting others who are experiencing grief,
Speaker 3: in knowing what to do and what to say to help.
Speaker 3: So that's how the cards have come about.
Speaker 2: So the idea is that because at some point we're
Speaker 2: all going to have to face it. At some point
Speaker 2: we're all going to have to deal with it, or
Speaker 2: maybe even we're back processing what's happened here. Obviously we'll
Speaker 2: put up all the details on our socials and tell
Speaker 2: people how to get this stuff. My assumption is that
Speaker 2: any money raised helps fund.
Speaker 3: What you do right, absolutely, So, Grief Connects services are
Speaker 3: grief and bereavement specific support services. So within that there
Speaker 3: is specialized grief and bereavement counseling that is online. There
Speaker 3: is the Grief Connect Young Widow Support Group and the
Speaker 3: Grief Connect over fifty five Widow Support Group that are
Speaker 3: online peer support groups where people can it's online support
Speaker 3: but also meet face to face across it might be
Speaker 3: at a farm post, it might be at a coffee
Speaker 3: shop anywhere across the nation, and it's pure support. And
Speaker 3: then the Grief Language Project, which is education component the
Speaker 3: Connect cards and a keynote speaking and education and training.
Speaker 2: Can I just say strength and love to you and
Speaker 2: this is tough, yeah, And the way that you've been
Speaker 2: able to channel what happened to you into something that
Speaker 2: helps somebody else is the best possible legacy you can
Speaker 2: build for the people that you love.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I'm so proud of you, and I just
Speaker 1: bet you to know before I really thinking appreciated.
Speaker 2: And there's congratulations on the Rural Women's Award, because again,
Speaker 2: this is not just something that happens in suburban Perth
Speaker 2: or central Perth. But as this state is as big
Speaker 2: and wide and you know, third of the country that
Speaker 2: it is, there are these things can become those little
Speaker 2: tools that mean when you are over for a cup
Speaker 2: of tea, if you're having a beer, just sending emails
Speaker 2: and texts.
Speaker 1: It helps you out. What's the website? How do people
Speaker 1: get this stuff?
Speaker 3: Griefconnect dot com dot au pre sale discount is happening
Speaker 3: through LinkedIn and Facebook, so head there for the pre
Speaker 3: sale for the cards, for the Connect cards, but for
Speaker 3: all services, please head to my website.
Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm going to buy a hundred of them.
Speaker 2: Literally, I'm going to buy a hundred of them and
Speaker 2: you hand them out to whoever you think needs them.
Speaker 3: Okay, I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Love you, honestly, thank you, Michelle.
Speaker 2: I beg you to Harvey Norman who support Michelle and
Speaker 2: the effort, Shine Awards and so much more. Without half
Speaker 2: a normal we don't get to travel around the country.
Speaker 2: We don't get to meet special people like you, and
Speaker 2: it is the absolute professional honor of my life. So
Speaker 2: quick break back with more here from wa in a
Speaker 2: set here this Sunday night, wherever you happen to be,
Speaker 2: holl orry last, thank you very much for what team
Speaker 2: you've palled this wrapper on the Australian's website. Fifty two
Speaker 2: party preferred some low approval numbers for the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: We'll get into all of that again tomorrow at night.
Speaker 2: But right now here in Joindle up in Western Australia,
Speaker 2: here in Perth, let's again meet two wonderful people who
Speaker 2: celebrated in their community and do incredible things for this
Speaker 2: part of Australia. Nev Moore is his name. He's with
Speaker 2: the RSL. He's the Junal Citizen Senior Citizen of the Year.
Speaker 2: Catherine Kolomajek is here as well. She's the Community Citizen
Speaker 2: of the Year. Give him a round of appause.
Speaker 12: Well done.
Speaker 1: Never's a long time viewer.
Speaker 2: Thank you for coming on, mate, Thank you for coming
Speaker 2: on the show. Good man, Thank you all right, So
Speaker 2: let's talk about what you do. First to you, which
Speaker 2: is again the are you okay?
Speaker 1: Stuff?
Speaker 2: And supporting people. How important is it that people in
Speaker 2: this part of Australia get the support from their mates
Speaker 2: as well as all the big big welfare sister as well.
Speaker 12: Know there are many RSLs around the country. About six
Speaker 12: years ago now the Junlo b RSL decided to set
Speaker 12: up a focal point and call it a bit from
Speaker 12: Supports Center and we did this in Heathridge and the
Speaker 12: mayor who has disappeared, they gave us the premises all
Speaker 12: right and we're at the moment we're still there. So
Speaker 12: it's a focal point for veterans who can come in
Speaker 12: and we have a team of advocates there who can
Speaker 12: do the get the process going to get their claims
Speaker 12: into DVA. Now the objective, the whole objective, is to
Speaker 12: get the veterans who are at home with me, some
Speaker 12: with mental health issues, to get them out of the
Speaker 12: house and get them into our We have a coffee
Speaker 12: and so they coffee and bullshit sessions.
Speaker 1: Love it and love it. Yes, people talk yes.
Speaker 12: And if I'll do the au O caves in a
Speaker 12: minute at the coffee and bullshits, the guys will come
Speaker 12: along there and first time they win't say buggarow So
Speaker 12: I'll just look around, sit around and see who's who's here.
Speaker 12: Next time they come in, they might say a couple
Speaker 12: of things and all of a sudden they think these
Speaker 12: guys are the same as me. These guys have the
Speaker 12: same problems I do. Out it comes and the stories
Speaker 12: keep coming out. Sometimes they repeat and they repeat. And
Speaker 12: we have a team from DVA there as well. They
Speaker 12: come in with the Open Arms team, come and tend
Speaker 12: our coffee sessions. I'm supposed to call the coffee and chat.
Speaker 1: Yes, don't worry. If you get in trouble, they can
Speaker 1: call me now. Back at the Vet Center.
Speaker 12: The Vet Center is used by the advocates to interview
Speaker 12: people who the veterans who want to lodge the acclaims
Speaker 12: with DVA. So we have a system set up called
Speaker 12: the IOAK Course and it's simply a four good ladies.
Speaker 12: There's Debbie, Judy, Aida and Sophie the ladies and they
Speaker 12: they call. We have monthly calls and there's about one
Speaker 12: hundred and twenty on that list, and obviously don't get
Speaker 12: called on the same.
Speaker 1: Day or whatever, but it's spread over.
Speaker 12: Then we have fortnightly calls and there's about twenty show
Speaker 12: on that one and weekly course and obviously if you
Speaker 12: need want a weekly call, you're sitting at home and
Speaker 12: you want to talk to somebody. And this is where
Speaker 12: we get a lot of our work from because we
Speaker 12: get our leads and somebody's got a problem. Even might
Speaker 12: just be a smoke glam or something like this, but
Speaker 12: it's something because I'm sure there's people here that realize
Speaker 12: that the age care world and now getting you into
Speaker 12: the wage care system, getting your home help, and the
Speaker 12: veteran system, getting getting through the process, getting all the
Speaker 12: paperwork filled out is not.
Speaker 1: Easy, but I love that.
Speaker 2: Again, what you've created is this place where by walking
Speaker 2: off the street or thinking about walking off the street,
Speaker 2: eventually getting there begins a process that gets you to
Speaker 2: that help.
Speaker 1: So congratulations on all of that. It's the spectator. Really
Speaker 1: well up. Thank you. I want to get cat to
Speaker 1: a couple of you. Just tell me about what you do.
Speaker 8: Look, I'm a trauma specialist social worker and have been
Speaker 8: working in this community, so welcome to jo love It
Speaker 8: for nearly thirty years as a community worker. And during
Speaker 8: the last few years two of my programs have just
Speaker 8: gone a little bit crazy.
Speaker 1: Just too much demand, too.
Speaker 8: Much demand, So I run the Kindness Challenge, and that's
Speaker 8: teaching children and young people the mental health benefits of
Speaker 8: compassion and dad jokes apparently and dad jokes, yeah, have
Speaker 8: you got another day joke?
Speaker 1: I researched the.
Speaker 2: One before, not television, because those are the ones you
Speaker 2: tell other dads.
Speaker 8: And we're living in a world where two out of
Speaker 8: five Australian kids are struggling to.
Speaker 1: Their mental health.
Speaker 2: And I talk about this all the time, right, and
Speaker 2: occasionally I'll get some cranky email going, oh why, it's
Speaker 2: like the kids aren't all right at the moment for
Speaker 2: whatever reason, and we can all have our view as
Speaker 2: to what it is, but the evidence keeps coming back.
Speaker 8: It's getting worse.
Speaker 1: So we've got to do it.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 1: How am I going to be a guinea pig for you?
Speaker 1: I understand you are.
Speaker 8: Look so I mean basically, when I go into schools
Speaker 8: and I'm in twenty eight schools here in Perth now,
Speaker 8: and we basically try to teach them to touch, taste,
Speaker 8: feel it so that they know the good hormones that
Speaker 8: go through your body because a lot of us are
Speaker 8: stressed and full of cortisol, and so when those hormones
Speaker 8: go through you start to clear out that stress. And
Speaker 8: so I try to teach them by them actually getting
Speaker 8: to experience it. And I thought i'd give you a
Speaker 8: go to.
Speaker 2: All right, so let us imagine I am at my
Speaker 2: mental age, which is year eleven. All right, I'm sitting
Speaker 2: back year eleven. I laugh at all the same jokes
Speaker 2: and the same thing.
Speaker 1: All right, So what do we do?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 8: So I want you to think of somebody here in
Speaker 8: this room now that you think deserves an act of kindness.
Speaker 1: Right now, I think I know exactly who, and.
Speaker 8: I'm going to ask you to do that active kindness.
Speaker 8: And I'm going to actually ask you to ask how
Speaker 8: they feel, so they see what happens to their body
Speaker 8: if they flush, and feel what happens to you, because
Speaker 8: once it's to make notice stuff, it actually changes their
Speaker 8: mental health.
Speaker 1: All right? So am I allowed to get up and ask?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me just give you a present.
Speaker 2: You know it's going to be you, all right? Here
Speaker 2: we go, all right, all right, okay, we pulled everything off.
Speaker 2: Thank you, good good dress setting boys. All right, there's
Speaker 2: your gift, thank you? All right, A little box of
Speaker 2: happiness which.
Speaker 8: Is a little local company here and job as well.
Speaker 1: So okay, follow me, you're going to see other people moment. Dad, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you? Hi? Hi? I just want to say hi, Hi.
Speaker 2: Here's my active kindness to you, all right, I love
Speaker 2: you and Hi Josh. As soon as they saw the
Speaker 2: active I know they take it well. They're beautiful and
Speaker 2: their friends from Josh, thank you for what you do.
Speaker 2: I do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: And just whoever put this table together, you're fine. We'll
Speaker 1: see in a moment here. Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 2: Can I just say as well, shout out to everyone
Speaker 2: from the periscope crew who was part of what Catherine
Speaker 2: does as well. Now they have put together a movie
Speaker 2: of film that's about young people with disabilities. Now it
Speaker 2: I understands, well they did documentary. Sorry I should say
Speaker 2: about the World Transplant Games. That's now been selected and
Speaker 2: he is now going to start to be seen in
Speaker 2: lots of different places. There's even a chance at a
Speaker 2: special special film festival awards. So to all the gang
Speaker 2: from the periscope crew, thank you very much for watching.
Speaker 2: Thank you for what you do. You're a great part
Speaker 2: of what happens to here in wa. Good good stuff.
Speaker 2: Now Teresa Takernaomi will join us now from thing called
Speaker 2: Fostering Hope. We're here in joodle Up. We're here at
Speaker 2: the beautiful resort in jodle Up. Thank you again to
Speaker 2: the whole team that have taken care of us for
Speaker 2: the past few days.
Speaker 1: It's been awesome. Ladies. Love you to see you.
Speaker 10: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Thank you absolutely so. Teresa, I'll start with you. Tell
Speaker 2: us about fostering Hope again. Another example of good things
Speaker 2: happening for people who desperately need it in this part
Speaker 2: of town.
Speaker 1: Well, we're a.
Speaker 10: Non for profit organization based in Mangara, so you probably
Speaker 10: would know. It's not far from here. Actually it's probably
Speaker 10: a ten minute drive. We look after cares, faster cares,
Speaker 10: grandparent cares, teenage kids, anyone that really needs help, any
Speaker 10: faster cares that come in.
Speaker 1: We've got a big store now in Mangara.
Speaker 10: They cares will come in sometimes they'll bring their children
Speaker 10: in with them and they can get toys, shoes, clothes, nappies, wipes, prams, cots,
Speaker 10: everything you can think of from a baby right up
Speaker 10: to teens.
Speaker 2: So have you seen, like other people have been saying tonight,
Speaker 2: a greater demand.
Speaker 10: Oh, I definitely do, definitely, Yeah, it's a huge demand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So do you think that's because when we know
Speaker 2: everything's costing a lot more?
Speaker 1: But is it because also the support.
Speaker 2: Network that we assume is there be a government or
Speaker 2: thing to some degree for some people is breaking down.
Speaker 10: I just think people just don't have the money anymore too,
Speaker 10: you know, yes, their care is we get a subsidy.
Speaker 10: We don't get a salary. You know, it's very very low.
Speaker 10: We're just we're just you know, the shelter and the
Speaker 10: food for that child that comes into your care. You
Speaker 10: could get a child in I could get a child
Speaker 10: and tonight at twelve o'clock and they come with a
Speaker 10: plastic bag. But that's not fair for the child. You know,
Speaker 10: that's not fair.
Speaker 1: They deserve a lot more. Absolutely, you know it's so hard.
Speaker 10: There's over five thousand kids in double Way alone in care.
Speaker 2: So can I ask you what might say the silly question,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to ask it anyway. Why is there
Speaker 2: such a gulf? Do you think between what we tell
Speaker 2: ourselves our society is what government tells us is the
Speaker 2: amount of support that they have for everyone in the
Speaker 2: reality that they could be a kid tonight, it's going
Speaker 2: to turn over the plastic bag.
Speaker 10: No one just seems to know about it.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 10: People are very inspired when they come in and talk
Speaker 10: to us, or we do talk to you know, other
Speaker 10: organizations about what we do. People don't actually understand. So
Speaker 10: I could have three extra kids tonight in my home,
Speaker 10: you know, and.
Speaker 13: It could be a couple of toddler's boy toddlers and
Speaker 13: then a teenager as well. So to have all the clothes,
Speaker 13: the car seat, the prams, the twin prams. There's been
Speaker 13: times to where Teresa has had two three kids of
Speaker 13: the same age and they need it. Not just a
Speaker 13: twin pram three.
Speaker 10: I've had four children, five children under five, and just
Speaker 10: just keep overloading it. And oh it is Trey, so
Speaker 10: she'll take another child. Let's give her a call.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, And.
Speaker 2: That's the thing too, right, So in your experience of it,
Speaker 2: the relentlessness of it, how do you maintain focus during
Speaker 2: the relentlessness of it?
Speaker 1: How do you find time and find a way.
Speaker 13: We're just there for the children really at the end
Speaker 13: of the day. And that's the thing I really love
Speaker 13: about fostering Hope is we're We've got so many volunteers.
Speaker 13: Everyone is a volunteer. We've got no paid people, so
Speaker 13: every cent donated goes back to the organization and to
Speaker 13: the children. And we've got such a great support network
Speaker 13: of volunteers as well.
Speaker 1: People really get.
Speaker 13: On and we've got elderly people, widows we were talking
Speaker 13: about grief before. We've got people coming in that may
Speaker 13: be a little bit lonely as well, and they just
Speaker 13: need some way to connect with people and do something
Speaker 13: good for the community. And it's something local as well
Speaker 13: that people can join in and as little or as
Speaker 13: much as they want to TOASA.
Speaker 2: I think you are going to have an almost perfect answer,
Speaker 2: because I think it's something that whether you think about
Speaker 2: it actively, I think you're going to think about it
Speaker 2: most of the time you're doing what you're doing. If
Speaker 2: you could look the premiere in the eye of this state,
Speaker 2: what would you say about not just what you need,
Speaker 2: but about how we change this sense of there's a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of people that sort of even the shadows
Speaker 2: and we don't see them.
Speaker 1: What would you say if you could talk to any leader.
Speaker 10: I fairly believe the parents need to be helped. You know,
Speaker 10: they're in and out of prison. A lot of the
Speaker 10: children I would have had over the last seventeen years.
Speaker 10: The parents are in it out of prison, you know, drug, alcohol,
Speaker 10: domestic violence. There's a lot going on in the families
Speaker 10: that people wouldn't be aware of, you know, and that's
Speaker 10: why the end of thin care.
Speaker 2: What about just that sense of love and support that
Speaker 2: comes from our community. Do you feel that that outside
Speaker 2: of you know, your immediate connections, that there you are
Speaker 2: getting support because obviously everyone in this room's going to
Speaker 2: love what you're doing, everyone watching until it's going to
Speaker 2: want to try to give what they can do You
Speaker 2: do you have that sense or is there a little
Speaker 2: breakdown that we need to do.
Speaker 10: We need volunteers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we really need badly, badly in need of.
Speaker 13: In whichever organization you want to volunteer. And it's such
Speaker 13: a great way to connect with other human beings and
Speaker 13: to stop being isolated. I think that's part of the
Speaker 13: problem as well as that sense of isolation that some
Speaker 13: people and you might be sitting in a family and
Speaker 13: still feel isolated, but if you can reach out to
Speaker 13: a local volunteer organization or charity, it's just such a
Speaker 13: great way to connect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you look at that sense too where and
Speaker 2: looking obviously. Tonight we've focused on a whole bunch of organizations,
Speaker 2: and deliberately so not to tell a downbeat story about
Speaker 2: a great city and a great suburb, but to talk
Speaker 2: about how there are so many different ways everyone can help.
Speaker 1: All right, there's lots of different ways all the time.
Speaker 2: And be it at an RSL to veterans, be it
Speaker 2: about the kids making the films, about you guys that
Speaker 2: as you say, volunteering, and that's something that we've also seen.
Speaker 2: The numbers have gone down over the past little while.
Speaker 2: Either free time because you're taking care of your own
Speaker 2: grand teams, you've got to work it.
Speaker 10: People just seem to be very busy and you'll come in,
Speaker 10: they'll fill out all the forms. Oh yeah, we'll come back,
Speaker 10: and what day I'll ask them. I'm the volunteer manager.
Speaker 10: I'll say to my what day suits you. We're very flexible.
Speaker 10: We open from Tuesday to Saturday and it's only from
Speaker 10: half nine to half one, so they are nice little
Speaker 10: hours that they could come in for an hour. But
Speaker 10: we do have a lot of people walking like, oh yeah,
Speaker 10: we'll come back in and their intention is there, but
Speaker 10: then they don't come back yeah, and it's the same
Speaker 10: guys on the Tuesday Wednesday, it's the same staff coming
Speaker 10: in and they are brilliant. They are just fantastic, all
Speaker 10: the girls.
Speaker 13: Wouldn't it be great if we work playing charities?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I bang on about this a lot, right,
Speaker 2: which is the federal government has a surplus. And again
Speaker 2: look you know what time your mom, But this isn't
Speaker 2: about team read. Federal government has a surplus, which means
Speaker 2: it has more money than knows how to spend. For
Speaker 2: goodness sake, spend it on charities like right now, take
Speaker 2: a couple of billion off the top and find.
Speaker 1: A way to get it to the people that are doing.
Speaker 2: It rather than what I'll never forget that experience again,
Speaker 2: my mum when she was putting together like a mental
Speaker 2: health line in the suburb.
Speaker 1: We grow up.
Speaker 2: So this form, this form, this form, this form miss
Speaker 2: ten thousands. What about a different system where at this
Speaker 2: moment when things were on fire, rather than sort of
Speaker 2: begging the fiber goal.
Speaker 10: You just spoke a minute ago about that guyed, I've
Speaker 10: got twenty thousand for the digit we do a things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have gone.
Speaker 10: It's such a long way for us. Yes, look at
Speaker 10: all those homes that would have been filled with stuff
Speaker 10: for them to take home, natties and wapes and everything,
Speaker 10: but we just.
Speaker 1: Find ways to waste it.
Speaker 2: Now, if people want to find out more, where's the website?
