1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: The floodwaters are receding, residing, but that still comes at

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: a cost for a lot of people living around Windsor

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: and Richmond.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Man lost his life here, a young.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Man, the Pakistani fella. He's come out here, he's got

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: a job, he's on the way and he's got stuck

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: in the I don't know what's happened. He's got stuck

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: in the floodwater. But then he rang Triple O and

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: he was on the phone to them for forty five

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: minutes trying to work out where he was or what

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: he could.

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: Do because he couldn't get out of the car. Is

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: that right? Because the water had closed the doors.

15
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: That's the thing. If the water closed the doors and

16
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: you can't wind the windows down because they're electric windows,

17
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: you've got to break the window. But the poor guy

18
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: would never have heart breaks your heart, it does, but

19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people have been affected. A close personal

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: friend of mine, Paul Stanley from Kiss No not Paul

21
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: Stanley from Kiss Paul Stanley is a close personal friend

22
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: of mine from Kiss Jonesy.

23
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, personal friend Stanley.

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: I always thought that was Michael Bolton.

25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: He's a close personal friend as well, okay, now what happened?

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Are they in the floods?

27
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: In the flood Paul Stanley, who I worked with in

28
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: Musclebrook at two a m in Musclebrook, he lives in Taree.

29
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: Now his house when completely under when the Manning River

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: burst its banks. So he's got someone set up. Someone

31
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: sent me a link to a gofund me paid, so i've.

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: What's the insurance scenario.

33
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. If you live in a floodplaine,

34
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: it's going to cost you a lot of money. So

35
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: I think for his insurance about five or six grand

36
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: a year in insurance see your house insurance I don't

37
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 2: think would be that and he hasn't got the means

38
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: to pay for it. So it's one of those things

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: on the Current Affair last night that a guy that

40
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: helps out a lot of the people in a Kent

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: fairy is a builder. His insurance is sixteen thousand dollars

42
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: a year because it's on a floodplane.

43
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Does he pay that No?

44
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: So right now his house is getting close to being inundated.

45
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: So it's risk it takes, isn't it. But that's insurance.

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: Ten thousand dollars a year.

47
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: I know well, that's what we're saying.

48
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: You could be paying that for years and years and

49
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: years asolutely.

50
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: That's the deal you make.

51
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: That's what they've been saying, is we shouldn't be Maybe

52
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: this is for a discussion for another time. Building on

53
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: the floodplains where more and more houses are being built

54
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: where they shouldn't, and we're going to cop this.

55
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: But we live on in Australia. If you're not building

56
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: on a floodplain, you're building next to a place catch

57
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,559
Speaker 2: on fire or I don't know what else can happen here, pestilence.

58
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: We got everything.

59
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: There was a good story yesterday. Well it started badly

60
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: and it still is bad, but there was a little

61
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: beacon of heart in it. A family lost their home.

62
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: They live in Beechwood and mid North Coast. Whole family gone.

63
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: They had mere minutes to rescue their four year old

64
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: son over the weekend and the family home was torn

65
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: from its foundations, lost everything. They I think they've got

66
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: their cars, but they watched as all their belongings were

67
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: swept away. It's hard to imagine, isn't it. But she

68
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: was given a teddy bear on her twenty first birthday.

69
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: This woman and it is it washed up on a

70
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: nearby beach, unscathed and someone hung it on a fence

71
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: put the picture on social media. This woman's sister saw

72
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: it and told her about it, and she's now reunited

73
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: with this teddy bear. So she's saying, I want to

74
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: thank everyone and social media for giving us a little

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: bit of hope.

76
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: That's nice. When people say social media is bad, that's

77
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: a case of where it's being yeah.

78
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: That's lovely, but she's lost everything. But that they are saying, well,

79
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: we've got our we've got our son.

80
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: This beautiful. It is like a ray of hope with

81
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: the teddy turning a corner with jos and Amanda
