1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation. Were jonesy.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: At least the winds have stopped. It felt like it

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: was just windy. It's been windy, those westerly winds for ages.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: And I was looking at my backyard and look at

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: all this, and then I just chastised myself because I

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: was thinking about the farmers with the floods in the

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: central West. Did you know around Forbes that was really

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: about one farmer ninety eight percent of his crop is

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: gone and they're talking about a three billion dollar loss.

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: And the reason I bring this up because it's important

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: that we don't forget about this, because there was another

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: story coming out of Forbes about Frank at Amelia. So

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: two weeks ago their house got flooded out with a

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: meter of water, They lost eight cattle, all that stuff.

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: They get relocated to a motel. They're staying in a

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: motel and they go, okay, well, the worst of it's over.

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: Then they get a call the house has burnt down.

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: What like, how does it even happen?

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's an incredible explain it.

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: To an insurance company.

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: And the news cycle has moved on. You know, the

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: World Cup is front page, but this stuff in you

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Gowa and all the areas in western New South Wales

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: are just beginning their cleanup. And this time last week

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: we were watching it on the news, we were reading

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: about it. Just because it's not on our front pages

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: doesn't mean the horror doesn't continue.

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: And we've done people, We've tried to do what we can.

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: We managed to get ten thousand dollars worth of fuel.

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Yes, we were told that fuel was a big issue,

31
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: so we've ten thousand dollars of fuel. It's heading their way.

32
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: You can always go to give it giv t, give

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: it dot org dot au and you can specify a

34
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: hardware voucher, a grocery voucher, bed Linen specific so you

35
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: can also go Red Cross, Saint Vincent de Paul, Flood Appeal,

36

Speaker 1: Salvation Army, Food Bank New South Wales. So there are

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: a number of emergency appeals. We will have all of

38
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: these on our socials. But I think it's important that

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: we don't look away.

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: Just because it's not going to be sorted out within

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: a week.

42
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, Absolutely not.
