1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: A little earlier this morning, I was arriving at work

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: and well, a lovely lady who oftened is here at

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: the radio station, who plenty of you will know, was

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: here and she'd been doing some stuff with our breakfast cruise. Now,

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: her name's Katie Kirk. I know plenty of you know Katie.

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: She's a long term territorium but unfortunately has been impacted

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: by an incredibly frightening incident over the weekend. Good morning

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: to you, Katie.

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: Our good morning Katie, the two Katie. So we have double.

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: Trouble, double travel, all right, Katie Square. Now unfortunately you're

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: joining me this morning because well it's a pretty frightening story. Actually,

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: you told me about it while we're in the car

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: park together today. Just talk our listeners through what happened

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: on the weekend.

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Well, funnily enough, my heart's already beating just talking about it.

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: My heart rates gone real, Ruth. So it was Saturday

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: evening and I was at home watching Emily in Paris,

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: actually really enjoying the movie. I had my front doors,

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: my front glass sliding doors locked. I've got another set

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: of glass sliding doors that go out to a front

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: pool area which is fully fenced and pad locked, and

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: that door, that sliding door was open because I had

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: my dog there. I was just sitting in the lounge room.

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: I can see the door, and I leave that door

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: open so Sammy can go in and out to the

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: garden to do a wee and that type of thing. Anyway,

27
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: I just looked thought, I sort of looked at how

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: much movie time was left, and I went, I might

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: go on put the air co on on and get

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: the just cool the bedroom down, because I'll go to

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: bed shortly. I actually went to the bathroom and took

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: off my I was wearing pants like trouser pants, and

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: then put Sammy to bed, et cetera, and then went

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: to sit down to watch the rest of the last

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: ten minutes of the movie. And as I sat down,

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: my phone pinned and it was my video security camera

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: from the driveway, giving me an alert there was a

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: human there. So I looked at my phone and there

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: was a person up my driveway. So I quickly ran

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: to the bathroom to put my pants back on. I

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: don't want to walk around in just nickers and a singer.

42
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: And I don't know why I did what I did

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: or why I went straight to the back of the

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: front sliding door, which is over the pool. I just

45
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: automatically went to that door. And I don't know whether

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: I was wanting to go out to the garden to

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: see if I could see somebody, or remembering that it

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: sort of wasn't locked. So I got to the door,

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: and there was a man standing right there on the

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: step about to step inside. And as I got like

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: a foot away from the door, he lifted a machete

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: over his head like he had it already over his head,

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: but his elbows went back, so he already had it

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: there ready. And then as soon as he saw me,

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: I could see him sort of heaving his elbows backwards

56
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: as if to yes, swing the machete down on my head.

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, horrific.

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: And I just I'm quite grateful that I had a

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: fight response, not a slight response. I think some people

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: in that circumstance would, you know, either, I don't know,

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: go silent, freak out, step back. But I actually sort

62
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: of moved even closer to the door, and and I

63
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: just screamed like more of a guttural howl, sort of

64
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: like basically, and he sort of then leant back and

65
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: that gave me the opportunity to slam the glass door

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: shut and lock it. But it was horrific.

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.

68
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: Then was just screaming, not a high pitched scream, a

69
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: very deep scream. And I was screaming out for my

70
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: neighbor Mel And then I called police, the Triple zero,

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: but I couldn't talk, Katie. Police were asking me questions

72
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: and I couldn't put two words together.

73
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. You literally had somebody holding a machete at.

74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: You, over my head, at me.

75
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's utterly horrifying. Cannie, tell me in terms

76
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: of the response. Then what like, what happened next? Did

77
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: he run away? Well? I don't.

78
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: I couldn't then see him because it was dark and

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: i'd moved back from the door. But I do know

80
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: what happened next because three of my neighbors, thank goodness,

81
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: heard me, and one neighbor. Two of them came up

82
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: the driveway. I was still on the phone to police,

83
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: and I just shoved the phone at my neighbor John

84
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: because I couldn't speak. But my neighbor across the road

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: when she first heard me scream, she actually died police

86
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: straight away because she rode from each other for fifteen

87
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: years or something. She'd never heard anything like it, and

88
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: she knew that I was in trouble. And then she

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: as she was on the phone to police, she came

90
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: out to her front garden and she saw this young

91
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: man jumping over my front fence from inside to outside.

92
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: So that's a fully now that's a high pool fence,

93
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: and he just jumped over it. And then my other

94
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: neighbor could was alerted because he heard the person running.

95
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: And I know that the person in the driveway was

96
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: not the same man. Young man at my door.

97
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: So there's two of them.

98
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: So there was a young girl. So the young girl

99
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: must have been up my driveway scoping to inform I

100
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: guess to check the gate, the pool gate, which was padlocked,

101
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: and or to see if the door was open. And

102
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: then yeah, then the next minute there's this young man

103
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: who had obviously jumped the fence to get into the

104
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: pool area and then jumped fence to get out.

105
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Katie, Is that is terrifying?

106
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was terrifying.

107
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: You know, And and it's lucky that your body went

108
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: into to fight mode and you screamed at him the

109
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: way that you did, or goodness knows what could have happened.

110
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: And I've tried, I've been trying really hard not to

111
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: do the whole what if because my immediate thought was,

112
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: you know, imagine if he got inside and I don't know,

113
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: rap me or I'd rather be sliced on the head

114
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: with a machete than the former option. But it's and

115
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: I thought once my neighbors had they offered to stay over,

116
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: and I'm like, no, no, no, it's okay. But I

117
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: then I know, at three o'clock in the morning, I

118
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: rang my Si crust couldn't sleep. I rang my sister

119
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: at three o'clock in the morning, and I don't know,

120
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: she must have broken every speed limit to get there.

121
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, she's coming and came and stayed with me

122
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: that night.

123
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: Just yeah, look, I can't begin to imagine how frightened

124
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: you must have felt. Katie. Do you mind me asking

125
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: what suburb you live in?

126
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: I actually live in Milner. Yeah, that's Suburbs.

127
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the northern suburbs. You know my instant reaction

128
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: whenever I hear and unfortunately I've heard so many horrible,

129
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: horrible stories. But I am I am so sorry that

130
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: that happened. To you, and you know, when I saw

131
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: you this morning, my reaction was to give you a hug.

132
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: Like I I can't believe that that happened to you

133
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: over the course of the weekend, and that this is

134
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: something that we're talking about happening in Darwin.

135
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: I know, and it's just sounds crazy, but I prefer

136
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't want it to happen to anyone. But if

137
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: it was, I'm glad it happened to me, as opposed

138
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: to I know a lady who lives near me, and

139
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: if that had happened to her, I think she would

140
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: have collapsed and not you know, had that reaction that

141
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: I had. But you know, I think that of if

142
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: my mom was here visiting, and if that had been

143
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: my mom, like you often think about that, or what

144
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: if that was you know, a young teenage girl at

145
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: the door.

146
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing. It shouldn't happen to anyone, right, it

147
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: should not happen to anyone. And this is where everybody's

148
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: had a gutfull of this, you know, of of the

149
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: response that we're hearing, and of the you know, of

150
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: changing this or changing that will not make a difference.

151
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know whether it'll make a difference. But we've

152
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: got to try something, right, We've got to try something

153
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: to have an impact on the crime and the level

154
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: of crime that we're experiencing and the level of violence

155
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: that it's escalated to, because that's a big thing. Having

156
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: a bit shetty held over your head is next level.

157
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: And I hate to say it, but even I mean,

158
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: the police were fantastic, but even when you know, it's like,

159
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 2: you know, do you want to make a statement, do

160
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: you want to make victims of crime? So I just

161
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: looked at them and said, what's the point. That's how

162
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: That's how I felt.

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: And in feeling like that, yep.

164
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: And when I was telling my daughter Stevie about it

165
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: on the Sunday, I go over a call. I don't

166
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: want to frighten her, but yes, and I gave her

167
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: it a call to let her know and she just said, Mum,

168
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: when are you leaving Darlin? You know, And it's the

169
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: level of this tie, you know, the violence that we

170
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: do see and now like an experience like this and

171
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: there are you I just go, well, you know, I

172
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: don't want to be living here in another few years.

173
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: If if it's.

174
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: What's happening on my doorstep or in our community to

175
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: this extent.

176
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, and again you're not alone in feeling like that.

177
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: People We I just want to be safe, and that's

178
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think that fundamentally, we can talk about

179
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: all these different things and how we can get the

180
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: economy going and all that stuff, and all of that

181
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: stuff matters, and it's going to matter for whoever forms

182
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: government over the weekend or however that government looks over

183
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: the weekend. But fundamentally, what territorians want, whether you know,

184
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: whether you're a woman who's in what air, who's had

185
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: their house burnt to the ground that we'd heard about

186
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, whether you are a you know,

187
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: somebody going to the shops to do your grocery shopping,

188
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: whether you're at home in your laundroom like you are. Fundamentally,

189
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: all we want is to be safe.

190
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: And it's really interesting too, Like I've had a couple

191
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: of people say, you know, why wasn't your front gate

192
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: pad locked? And it's I said to one of my

193
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: best friends. It's gotten to the point, I've got a

194
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: block in each sliding door, I've got the back doors deadlocked.

195
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: Now f I had padlocked my front gate, like the

196
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: side gates padlock, but it's the front gates padlocked. If

197
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: he'd have gotten in and I had then managed to

198
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: run out the front door and the front gate is padlocked,

199
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: I've got no escape.

200
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Yep.

201
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: And that, to me is even more frightening than going, well,

202
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: you know what, No, I'm leaving my front gate open

203
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: because at least it gives me an exit. And what's

204
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: the point of me having the front gate locked when

205
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: he jumps fence twice?

206
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Anyway, That's exactly right, exactly right.

207
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: Helpless nightness of what well, I don't know what else

208
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, to keep my property safe so that

209
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: it keeps me safe.

210
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. Oh, Katie, I'm so sorry that

211
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: this happened to you, and you know, I'd rather be

212
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: talking to you about other more positive stuff, but unfortunately

213
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is the way that things

214
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: are at this point in time. But I appreciate you

215
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: speaking to me because I you know, I said this

216
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: a little while back when Leah Bennett, who works at Stompshoes,

217
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: had spoken to me after a terrible incident that she

218
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: had been victim to. I think people have got to

219
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: be brave enough to speak out and you know, to

220
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: let others know what's going on. We actually have to

221
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: be brave enough to be able to tell our stories.

222
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. When you asked me this morning, and I was

223
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: a bit hevidant because I don't want other people to

224
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: be frightened. But as you say, it's about awareness, and

225
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 2: we do need to talk about these things that are

226
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: happening and also keep an eye out for each other.

227
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

228
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: I am so grateful within three minutes of me initially

229
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: screaming that I've got three neighbors up my driveway. Yeah,

230
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: you so, and I do know. One of the police

231
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: officers said that I'm lucky that neighbors responded to me screaming,

232
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: and that there are some places where neighbors don't respond

233
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: to someone screaming. Yeah, and that's unawareness as well, isn't.

234
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: That That's you know, that's right, I reckon. That's the

235
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: take home today as well, is that we do need

236
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: to keep an eye out for each other, especially in

237
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: our homes. You know, if you if you hear something

238
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound right next door, make sure you do

239
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: go and check on your neighbor.

240
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, I think that's the key. If there's

241
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: a positive outcome from this is helping some more awareness

242
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: around that because we don't you hear a different noise

243
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: and instead of just brushing it off and thinking, oh,

244
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: that's got nothing to do with me, actually just take

245
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: a moment to going to check in.

246
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, spot on, Katie. Thank you so much for speaking

247
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,000
