1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Right now, though, we know that we've spoken a lot 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks about the opening plan 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: for the Northern Territory, and we've now got a bit 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: more clarity when it comes to that opening date. January 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: eighteen is the date that they're aiming for when it 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: comes to reopening without quarantine. Now, Hospitality NT is calling 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: for a hard date for that reopening to interstate travelers 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: without quarantine, saying that it would drive up the take 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: up of the COVID nineteen vaccine. And joining me on 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: the line right now is the CEO of Hospitality here 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: in the Northern Territory, Alex Bruce. Good morning, Good Katie. Alex. 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: You and I have spoken about this on a few occasions. Now, mate, 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: why do you reckon we need a freedom date? 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: I look this week, every other state or territory except 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: the Northern Territory in Western Australia, the Herman Kingdom of 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: Western Australia have announced plans for double vaxed Australians to 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: visit loved ones this Christmas without the need for quarante team. 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: And this is the thing you know we're seeing obviously, Queensland, 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: we saw on Friday last week Tasmania made that announcement 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: as well. I know that the Chief Minister has flagged 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: January eighteen, but there's quite a few variables still that 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: need to kind of need to come into play before 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: we reach that January eighteen. Do you think that this 24 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: is good enough or do you think that we need 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: to be in line with other states and territories with 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: that date. 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: I look where you've got the opportunity to meet with 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: the Chief Minister along with other industry groups from right 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: across the business community on Tuesday, and our message to 30 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: him was twofold. The mandatory vas for the workforce is working, 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: and we're seeing in our industry people that aren't necessarily 32 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: vaccine hesitant or anti vax, but you know, you threaten 33 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: their livelihoods and you give them a real end date. 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: You know, twelve and November you had to have your 35 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: homework Dubai and they're all going and getting vaccinated, or 36 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: the vast majority of them are. So that's a positive. 37 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: Our industry and others are responding to, you know, the 38 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: challenge that the Chief set set set business and employees 39 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: to adhere to. So that is driving up the VACS rates, 40 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: which allows us to look at quarantine, free travel and 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: everything else. So that's positive, But the overwhelming view from 42 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: our industry is that we need to have our date 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: known prior to Christmas. Of course, base it on health advice. 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: You know, let them say whether eighteenth or January is 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: appropriate or eighteenth of December. We'd always like sooner, of course, 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: but you know, if it's eighteenth of January, put put it. 47 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: Put a date on the flag and put that flag 48 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: firmly in the ground. The advice that we're getting from 49 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: our counterparts over in Queensland is since the Premiere of 50 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: Queensland set a hard date for when they were going 51 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: to allow vaccinated Australians just to cross that Queensland border 52 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: from New South Wales and Victoria, they have seen a 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: boot in the amount of all of the population going 54 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: to get vaxed as a result, because it's giving you 55 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: a firm date to work towards. 56 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: And do you reckon the fact that you know that 57 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: Queensland has actually said that they're going to be opening 58 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: up on December seventeen, I mean, is that going to 59 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,559 Speaker 1: have an impact on us in the sense that tourists 60 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: and people that are double vacks know that they're going 61 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: to be able to go there. But for us, there's 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people that are still questioning if they're interstate. 63 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: You know, if you've got loved ones that are into state, 64 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: they're really not sure whether they're actually going to be 65 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: able to get to the Northern Territory for Christmas. 66 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: That's it. It's a double whammy for us. So we're 67 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: currently left out of people's plans for Christmas. You know, 68 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: we do accept at the top end it's traditionally our 69 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: low season, but we're missing out on people that otherwise 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: would have come up. But importantly as well, and I 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: think we did touch on this last week Christmas Holidays, 72 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: New Year's resolutions, looking at the year ahead, this is 73 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: when people plan their trips, definitely plan their bucket list trips. 74 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: And right now the Territory's got an asterisk against the 75 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: eight enth of January and we'll get back to you, 76 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: So we're not in that conversation with our customers where 77 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: the rest of the country is. And with all the 78 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: other states opening up before Christmas, excluding Wa, our real 79 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: fear is that we'll see more and more red spots 80 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: declared by the Territory government and we'll lose the markets 81 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: that we currently already have and. 82 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: That's a big worry, isn't it. And a lot of 83 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: people sort of questioning how exactly this traffic light system 84 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: is going to work and what impact it is going 85 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: to have on us in terms of traveler is actually 86 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: being able to get into the territory. 87 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: That's it. And you know, the meeting was very respectful 88 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: and we appreciate the time and the clarity that the 89 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: government could could provide the business community collective, but they're 90 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: not willing to give any metrics on what defines an 91 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: orange zone or a red zone. They want to case 92 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: by case make those assessments. In all of this, we 93 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: have to back the health advice if that's what it is. 94 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: But we just wonder where the health advice in the 95 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: territory is different to the health advice in some of 96 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 2: the other parts of the country. Why are those discrepancies. 97 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: And you can't put it all just down to our 98 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: demographic of vulnerability because you know, another media outlet is 99 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: reporting today that far North Queensland's got about twenty seven 100 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: percent in some of their vulnerable communities vaxed. Yes, they've 101 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: got a clear date. There's a phenomenal. A lot of 102 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 2: work going on by everyone in the health space, government 103 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: and MNGO, and that hard date in Queensland is doubling 104 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: and retripling their efforts. 105 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: And so do you reckon Alex with that hard day 106 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: that we would actually see more people go out and 107 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: get the vaccine. 108 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: Yes, just from our industry perspective in Queensland, but it's 109 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: people you know, reporting that that's made their grandma go 110 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: and do it up. And if you look at the 111 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: territory right now, the workforce has a clear directive and 112 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: that's driving the vaccray and in our space that's healthy 113 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: young people. There is no incentive for an aged pensioner 114 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: in the Northern suburb right now, and they're currently fifteen 115 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: ten to fifteen percent lower VACST than the equivalent cohort 116 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: in the other states. The other side of it is 117 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: and you know, we are very appreciative of the eighteen 118 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: months and the tricky juggling act that the government up 119 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 2: here has been able to pull off. Absolutely and looking 120 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: around the country, we are very fortunate and we like 121 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: the way that they have struck the right balance where 122 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: they can. Yep, we just fear that we're going to 123 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: start falling a bit behind the pack and some of 124 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: this hesitancy in the non workforce population. What's the incentive 125 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 2: or what's the carrot or what's the sticks to drive 126 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: their VA's rates up. 127 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: Hey, Alex, last time we spoke, you had said that 128 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: there was a you know, there was a percentage obviously 129 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: of the hospitality workforce who were not keen to get 130 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: the vaccine. I know that you were conducting a survey 131 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: I believe around this time last week. Any update on 132 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: that number. 133 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: Look, more results rolling in, but the stats changing that much. 134 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: So sixty five percent of our workforce that has been 135 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: surveyed are saying they're double vaxed, twenty seven percent single vaxed, 136 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: or have booked in they're on the pathway to meet 137 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: the manded mandatory first JAB. By twelfth of November, it 138 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: still sits at around eight percent that are saying take 139 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: me off the roster or I'll quit now. And we're 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: starting to get a few people leaving the businesses already. Tragically, 141 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: I heard that one of the NGOs that we partner 142 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: with to do the responsible gaming's lost their only person 143 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: that goes into venues and helps make sure that we're 144 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: fully trained and doing everything we can to make sure 145 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: those responsible gambling issues are where they need to be. Look, 146 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: there are going to be knock on effects that we 147 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: don't even know about yet, right across industry and community. Well, 148 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: and that's. 149 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: Something that we are all going to have to sort 150 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: of wait and see how it pans out, because it 151 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: certainly doesn't seem as though the Chief Finess is going 152 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: to take a backward step when it comes to the 153 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate. 154 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: Alex, I do want you go sorry, We've still got 155 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: that twelve percent vacancy rate in current jobs. So it's 156 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: not as if every single one that is refusing to 157 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: get vax vaccinated that leaves the business will be replaced 158 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: by a double vaxed person. We've already got that shortage. 159 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And yeah, I mean when you're add 160 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: those two figures up, obviously, looking at the twenty percent 161 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: potentially twenty percent vacancy rate across the hospitality industry with 162 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: those that are not keen to get vaxed and those 163 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: that are currently well, those jobs that are currently not 164 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: filled the twelve percent, how big an impact do you 165 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: reckon the late opening of the borders might have as well. 166 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: In terms of filling some of that workforce shortage. 167 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: Well, well, that's the other part of it. We need 168 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: the borders to normalize so that we can appropriately market 169 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: and promote and take bookings from the rest of the country, 170 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: and in time, international domestic borders are very much a 171 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: stepping stone to international borders as well. So we will 172 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: continue to have workforce shortages until both sets the borders 173 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: are normalized and the sooner we can get there with 174 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: high vax rates and safe protocols for better. 175 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: Hey, Alex, before I let you go, I understand that 176 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: the police are doing a bit of a blitz in 177 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Ela Springs when it comes to the sale of alcohol. 178 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: What's it all about. 179 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 2: Yes, Unfortunately, our venues down there have been reporting what 180 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: the community is reporting, and our Springs is going through 181 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: a bit of a tough time at the moment, and 182 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: our venues have been targeted quite quite ferociously after hours 183 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: for breaking enters to access alcohol. We actually think it's 184 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: the younger cohort of offenders that are doing it, are 185 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: using it to get the grog, but that becomes a 186 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: commodity to sell to other elder cohort of vulnerable people 187 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: in those communities. And then they're trading it to get ice. 188 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: So you know the fact that our meta feather mean 189 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: rates are popping up in the sewerage and are getting 190 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: higher and high. We actually think there's an ice problem 191 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 2: in Alice that's being marked by out the breaking and 192 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: entering to access alcohol. But the police have indicated from 193 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: the first November they're going to be doing a bit 194 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: of a blitz down there on and off premise. They 195 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: briefed industry on it yesterday. We support what they're doing, 196 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: and we know that they've got a tough lot at it, 197 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: but we do make the point back to them, you know, 198 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: rather than sending through eight to twelve, you know, boys 199 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: and girls in blue holding their firearms through the through 200 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: through through the bars during the day and checking that 201 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: anyone in the in the bar isn't on the BDR. 202 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: We need the support at three am when the when 203 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: the numb bats are breaking in. 204 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: Alex Is there any like, is there any evidence to 205 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: actually support that, you know, that claim that that they 206 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: are potentially stealing alcohol there and then using it to 207 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: try to get their hands on ice. 208 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 2: Oh look, that's that's how industry's suspicion. And we've we've 209 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: ventilated that with government for a while. Now. We know 210 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: looking historically, there's some watchhouse data that we pushed for 211 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: back in twenty fifteen up in Darwin and everyone that 212 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: was going into the watchhouse. I think it was about 213 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: sixty five percent. We're also on some other substance other 214 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: than alcohol. The collection of that data promptly stopped, but 215 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: we just know looking across the country and even in 216 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: that sewerage results that are in the paper today. Yes, 217 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: alcohol is a problem. It's the one you know on 218 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: the pub with the lights on are often the focal point. 219 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: But we think that there are other challenges that are 220 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: going unmet. 221 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's a big call. It is a you know, 222 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: it's a big call to say that. You know that 223 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: they are sort of trying to get their hands on 224 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: ice and that it's not actually alcohol that's the endgame 225 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: for them. 226 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you look at the black market price for 227 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: fly grog and you can see why it's a viable 228 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: commodity to trade. 229 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: Oh well, certainly something for us to try and have 230 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: a bit further look into. I reckon Alex Bruce, the 231 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: CEO of Hospitality here in the territory, always appreciate your time. 232 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: Thank you,
