1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, some good news for common sense. That fundraiser and

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Dunedin that we were originally talking to Mike King about

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, has now got permission to

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: serve booze. You'll remember the story. Police opposed the booze license,

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: saying it was inappropriate for a fundraiser for suicide prevention

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: to have a liquor license, but it got in the

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: end today anyway. Teagan rose Vickery is the events organizer. Hey, Tagan, Hello,

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: how we going? I'm very well. You must be relieve

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: because this is tomorrow, isn't it? Yes?

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: Tomorrow?

11
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you relieved?

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: I am. I kind of can get back into what

13
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: I was meant to be doing today and getting finishing

14
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: off organizing the show.

15
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Listen, from the very outset, this opposition to you guys

16
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: serving alcohol seemed ridiculous to me? Did it seem as

17
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: ridiculous to you?

18
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: A little bit? Like? I could understand where the police

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: are coming from and where their concerns were coming from.

20
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: But if they had if they wanted to sort of

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: look at mine, so index please, and they sort of

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: needed to look at every other fundraiser that was a

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: out any sort of revisible health or mental health. So

24
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: it does feel a little bit picky. I feel like

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: it's a bit of murge.

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and surely if the point is to assist people

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: who are trying to deal with, you know, preventing suicide,

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: then the best thing to do is give them as

29
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: much money as possible, in which case you need to

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: serve alcohol in order to make as much money as possible.

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: Right, Well, it's not a need. I'll make that very

32
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: real clear. It's not a need to serve alcohol. It

33
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: was just sort of when you go to a fashion

34
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: show or an event, more often than not, there's an

35
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: option to have a glass of wine because it makes.

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: It more fun, and then you part with your cash

37
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: a bit more freely. That's the point.

38
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does lessen up people's focket's a little bit

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: more if they've got if they've got a wine with them,

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: But most of the proceeds for life Matters will be

41
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: coming from the grapple sales on the night.

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, on the other hand, I suppose you can't

43
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: be too unhappy about all of the publicity you've got,

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: can you.

45
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: No, I don't. Well, I'm not necessarily disappointed that there's

46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: been a bit of publicity. I am disappointed that the

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: light that I was trying to shine on mental health

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: awareness was sort of shadowed by the problem people seemed

49
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: to have around me serving alcohol at the event.

50
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: And then presumably also the problem people seem to have

51
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: with the Mike King comments.

52
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, that's a whole other story in itself.

53
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: But that's Myke's journey. That's got nothing to do with me,

54
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: and I'm just out here trying to do my thing.

55
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Well, good luck with your thing tomorrow, Taguan, Then thanks
