1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: Lots of people were heroes in the last few weeks,

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 2: people literally saving their neighbors on Saturday Night. This telethon

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Australia nights across all the commercial networks raised an incredible

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: twenty five million dollars. As we said, one of the

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: stars of the night is a young boy called Jack Burn,

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: a Sydney boy who has started a charity called a

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: Fiver for a Farmer that has raised over two million

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: dollars and he made a big donation on the night.

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Jack Burn, Hello, Hi, Amanda, nice to see you again.

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: So you don't you've until you started your charity, you've

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: never been to a farm.

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: No, I haven't.

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: Uh.

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: It was just I guess, I thought, and my parents

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: have always told me to be, I guess, compassionate and

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: caring for others. So I just felt like I had

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: to do something.

19
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: And it was images of the drought when you started

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: your charity.

21
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just seeing kids my age not being

22
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: able to play sport or even go to school because

23
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: I had to help on the farm was very tough

24
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: to watch and I thought I had to do something good, mate.

25
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: And so when you said do something. What was the

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: something that you did.

27
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: I went home to Mum and I was like, we've

28
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: just got to do something about this drought. And I

29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: decided to write an email to you know, lots of

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: radio stations, news shows, like anyone that would really listen

31
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 3: or get the message out, with the idea of getting

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: people dressing up like farmers and bringing in five dollars

33
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: and yeah, just to have like a fun day.

34
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: And that you raised two million dollars from that.

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it was crazy. We raised We had

36
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: our initial goal at twenty thousand, and we hit that

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: in the first nineteen hours straight out the gate. It

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: was crazy. And in about like three or like four

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: or five weeks we hit a million dollars. Wow, it

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: was ridiculous.

41
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: And just then on Saturday night you said that you'd

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: been watching images of the floods and you thought that

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: a father for a farmer could help.

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. So we always had a bit left to give

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: because we knew, you know, the farmers go through so

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: much and we were just we were just looking out

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 3: for them, and we thought, you know, you never know

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: what could happen. And we had fifty k to give

49
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: and it was from all the kids dressing up like farmers,

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: bringing in five dollars and we donated it to food

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: bank to get you know, those supplies out to people

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: who have just lost their home, Like the town has

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: been flooded and destroyed and all they wanted was some

54
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: water in a packet of chips.

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: Wow. You know, I think at your age, I was

56
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: struggling just getting a lunning business in my street. It's

57
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: just amazing. From such a little thing that you started,

58
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: it's become such a big thing.

59
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I always say that being a kids in advantage,

60
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 3: Like just like you said, you don't see like every

61
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: day that kids are doing these things, and I think

62
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: that makes people want to get involved more because no

63
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: one else is doing it. And when you say a

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: kid doing it, it just you're just like, wow, that's awesome.

65
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,080

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: it's crazy for those kids. As I said, I wasn't

67
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: aware of anything and that was it when I was

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: a kid. But you're doing great, great work. So maybe
