Speaker 2: A bit of a busy time bets here, but yeah,

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,280

Speaker 1: Richard Wilson. Why do you select him?

00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: I think Richard and I will bring a good balance

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: to counsel and probably my experience being a deputy mayor,

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: I kind of knew what it takes and what would

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: make a good team. So yeah, Richard, ready to go.

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,800

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: come in, done their training and you know, got lots

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: of questions and really involved already, so yeah, it's going

Speaker 1: So what's what's council business now? For the rest of

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: the year. Do you sort of start to ease off

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: into the festive season?

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: Not really. So We've got a council meeting tomorrow and

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: that's where the committees get announced and then it's just

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: down to business really. So yeah, we've got council meetings

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: right up to us. Think about the seventeenth of December,

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: so we'll making a through a few the year. We've

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: got another citizenship ceremony coming up. We've got three waters

46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: and a few of the other committee meetings as well,

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: so yeah, we'll get a few meetings in before the

48
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: end of the year and back into it with budgets

49
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: for the early early next year.

50
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: And finally in CEA exams start for many high school

51
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: students today. Are we throw that in your household? Or

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: is there one more game?

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: No, my daughter has his exam tomorrow. It's got English

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: tomorrow English. So yeah, it's I hope they all do well.

55
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: I know what it's like being a mum of a

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: child doing it into the ass a week with a

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: pressure in the house.

58
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I imagine you feel like you're walking on eggshells.

59
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: That that was a question I was going to put

60
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: to lock Tonto, but perhaps I can put it to

61
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: yourself list mcmeellan, what can parents do for the next

62
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: few weeks? So there's a French phrase and I'm probably

63
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: going to butcher this, but it's along the lines of

64
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: just did throll, which is the feeling of being unwanted

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: or unnecessary? So what role can you play as a

66
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: parent to help support your kids.

67
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: I just think make sure that they're eating and drinking properly,

68
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: they get in enough sleep, and you know, you give

69
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: them a bit of a hud before they go off

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 2: to their exam, because especially for level one and two,

71
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: it's quite you know, the pressures on a level three.

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, yeah, just I don't know. I just

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: kind of make sure that I'm looking after her, but

74
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 2: you're not too in the face, if that makes sense,

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: and running taxi.

76
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes the beast reassurance can be the drive to the

77
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: exam and you pull up outside the front entrance and

78
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: it's a hand on the knee and you go, you

79
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: know what's done, or daughter, you've got this. You're going

80
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: to be right.

81
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be right
