Speaker 1: Good morning to you, jimmy morning mate. Thank you so

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: much for your time this morning. I said, just a

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. I think we're all pretty shocked and

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: appalled what we heard when we heard what had happened

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: to you yesterday. Can you tell us how it all unfolded.

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: Well, it was but two in the morning, and I've

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: got a little two hour and she sleeps with me,

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: and she started backing, which is not uncommon, but she

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: kept them backing and barking and backing, so so, uh,

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: touch like go past my window. Yeah, And I realized

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 2: there must have been something somebody outside or something like that.

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: And then I saw two figures come past. Then so

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: another two figures come fast. So I got up out

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: of my bed, comped to my wheelchair, and I come

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: to the living room and I saw a torch coming

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: through my window, my sliding door, and I approached it

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: and the somebody showing a torch, a really break torch

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: in my eyes. And by that time I was studying

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: telling them to go away, get lost, and they were

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: shouting back a loot the abuse at me, and then

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: started banging their fist on the window. And then next

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: minute bang the whole glass plate just come right in

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: on top of me. Then they started to come in

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: and I sort of went back a bit in my

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: wheelchair and uh then one guy just hit me right

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: smack that in my eye and knocked me in my

27
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: wheelchair and I went flying back onto the ground. And

28
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: then two two guys jumping talk to me and studied, screaming, way,

Speaker 3: Yeah.

132
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: Well, Jimmy, mate, we've had people, You've had an outpouring

133
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: of support. I know that you've had an outpouring of

134
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: support yourself through phone calls. Well, I know that Deb

135
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: in Pineland, so I think that you know, she's she's

136
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: wrung us and she said she's going to come around

137
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: with a carton. She's also said that She's also said

138
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: there's a few people who've already chipped in with some

139
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: taxi vouchers.

140
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: But mate, how do you feel?

141
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,280

Speaker 1: call out this morning, and I hope this is okay.

143
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: But I think that if there's a mechanic or a

144
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: panel beater or anybody out there listening who can maybe

145
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: help you out with your vehicle as well, is that

146
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: something that you'd accept.

147
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: That that assistance. If there is that, well mate, we'll

148
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: see what we can do for you.

149
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I really hope that there are that there is somebody

150
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: out there listening right now who you know, who maybe

151
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: does have a mechanics business or or they're a panel

152
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: beat and they're able to get you and your vehicle

153
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: back into shape, because, by the sounds of it, you

154
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: actually have done a lot to that vehicle yourself.

155
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's it's just it was a mobly vehicle.

156
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: It's not it's not a new vehicle. But Whnley knew,

157
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,439
