1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:00,640
Speaker 1: Here.

2
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 2: The duplessy Ellen New State homes will be fitted out

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: with wool carpet after a turn around from coyinga order

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: earlier this year, KO was instructed by the government to

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: go with wool over nylon. We're practical and appropriate. Matt

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: Crockett is the chief executive at KO.

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Matt, our, good afternoon.

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: So is the wool costing less than the nylon?

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: I know that that basically it's cost neutral. But Wall's

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: a great product, and you know, we were really pleased

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: with the pricing that came back.

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: And what does cost neutral mean?

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Well, basically, it's this very similar pricing to the nylon option.

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: And you know, Wall's a great product.

15
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: So similar but slightly more.

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Look very close, very close.

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: So how much does it cost per square meter?

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't actually have that figure and that would actually

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: be commercially sensitive to share.

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: So Matte, come on. So the cost of nylon for

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: you guys is forty three dollars eighteen per square meter?

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: How much more than that?

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: It's cost competitive, it really is. So we haven't traded

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: away you know, any financial thing. Were Well, no, we haven't.

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: So so we believe this is cost neutral for a

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: great product, and that's why we've gone with it.

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: How have you worked out cost neutrality? Is it because

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: you've factored in the longer life or something like that.

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: Look, we've looked at a number of different factors, but

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: the biggest thing has been like as a you know,

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: as I said in release media release earlier today, we

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: were really pleased that the quotes that came back were very,

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: very sharp on the pricing and that's the core part

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: of it. Really. When can we.

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: Find out I mean, if it's if it's if we're

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: able to find out how much it costs you guys

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: with nylon per square meter? When will we find out

38
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: how much the wall price is per square meter?

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: I can't answer that right now?

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Will you tell us?

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: Well, there's no reason for us to hide it and

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: left as something in that that's commercially sensitive and I

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: will just need to check with my team and given

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: that we've just come through the process, so I'd rather

45
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: get that clear before I say anything on the radio here.

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Hey, thank you, Matt. I appreciate it. Matt Crockett,
