1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Now joining me in the studio right now is Al Fanning.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Al good morning to.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: You, Good morning Katie, and happy International Women's Data all

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: those weeks out.

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: There, so many great women out here in the Northern Territory.

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. And look, you're part of Territorians

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Benefiting Territorians. It's not for profit association. It was started

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: by a few like minded Darwin locals.

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 2: A few years back.

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: And you sort of raise money for different charities and

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: different junior sporting groups and things like that, don't you.

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we've started this a couple of years ago,

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: did a couple of little Pink Jacket days where we've

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: got some women down played golf and raised a few

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: money for some women who needed a little helping hand.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Then that moved on to junior girls' sport. We've done

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: that the last couple of years at Pee Wee's with

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: the lunch we've been doing and this year obviously we're

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: doing it for Dawn House. We try to get this

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: going before COVID happened, and obviously now COVID is out

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 2: of the way, we're doing it now for Dornus. That's

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: better late than never.

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: I reckon. That's awesome. It's a fantastic, fantastic initiative and

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: a fantastic thing that you guys do. Now tell me

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: when exactly is the lunch.

26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: Happening on the thirty first of March. It's a Friday

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 2: afternoon at twelve thirty. As you all know, Pewe's doesn't

28
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: open for lunch very often, so it's a special chance

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 2: to go there and have lunch and enjoy the views

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: and talk to a like minded people and hopefully raise

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: a few dollars for a good cause and a service

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: that is provided in the Northern Chair that Dawn House does.

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't sort of probably understand

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: their capabilities and what they do do and how much

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: they do.

36
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: So they are obviously a women's shelter. They provide safe

37
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: and secure crisis accommodation for women with accompanying children, and

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: it does mean that people are able to escape domestic

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: violence in their homes or their community. It is incredibly

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: important work that they do, isn't it.

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: It's very important And I don't think there's any one

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: person who hasn't or doesn't know somebody who's actually suffered

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: from domestic violence or is currently going through the amount

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: of it you see in the Northern Territory is very

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: unfortunate unfortunately. Yeah, this is what we're trying to just

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: do a little bit to help and see where we

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: can help them out and hopefully make a little difference

48
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: to somebody's life. You just never know what it can do.

49
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you spot on, and I think any money that

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: you can raise at an event like this is obviously

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: a really good thing for the likes of Dawnhouse and

52
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: to be able to help them, to make sure that

53
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: they have got some additional funding or able to help

54
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: a family out that might be in need. Mate, So

55
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: talk us through what's going to happen at the lunch.

56
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: Obviously going to have spectacular food because Peewee's never disappoints

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: when it's the food front, do they know, They.

58
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: Never disappoint there and pull the chef head chef no

59
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: matter what, miror you get to get it the same

60
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: way any time, and it's always qualities. And Lily and

61
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: Simon have been very what do you call it like,

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: they're very helpful with having the lunch there that charges,

63
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: so we have it at the Pee Wee, so so'mon

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: nearly that's there that they do, so thank you for that. Yeah,

65
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: and like I said, we want as many people as

66
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: we can to get along and support. Obviously, we'll have

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: people talking, we'll have some auction items, we'll have a

68
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: couple of raffles. We're hoping to have a lady come

69
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: and speak about her journey yep, so that will probably

70
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: know it's going to be a bit raw, but you

71
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: know what, sometimes we've got to have these difficult discussions

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: just so people, yeah, understand, I.

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: Agree what exactly the issue is, but also to be

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: able to get a bit of an understanding of what

75
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: they're raising money for as well, Like I reckon, it's

76
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: really important. Al So, it's Friday, the thirty first of March,

77
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: so they've got a bit of time to get organized.

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Where can they go to if they're keen to buy tickets?

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Yep, So Pee Wee's have got on their Facebook, They've

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: got a link there. Territorians Benefit Territorians have a link

81
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,320

84

86
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 2: I do. I'm very fortunate to have four and now

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: five lovely women who help me out. So I'm yemis

88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: So they keep me in a straight and narrow and

89
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: just make sure I'm doing the right thing.

90
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Is that a big job for them?

91
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: No? No, I try to make it well. They all

92
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,440

Speaker 2: tell you what I need to do.

94
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: I reckon this is such a good initiative, you know,

95
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: to actually just help different groups or different charities. And

96
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: I loved it. You know, it's a group of you.

97
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: Are you doing this off your own back? You're not

98
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: doing it for any sort of benefit of your own.

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: It is just to help other Territorians, which I reckon

100
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: is incredible.

101
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: Yep. Hundred percent of our time is volunteered. There's no admin,

102
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: there's no nothing. It's just us doing it after our

103
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: work day and making sure that we put some money

104
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: into someone's that allows them to have a better life. Yeah.
