1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Three sixty with Katie Wolf on Mixed one oh four 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: point nine thanks to Joyce Main Darwin. OK, hopefully we've 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: got this phone line sorted, and I believe I've got 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: Connie on the line out at Howard Springs. Good morning again, Connie, morning? 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: Sorry? Is that a better? 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: That is much better? Now? You're obviously out at Howard 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: Springs with your partner and your six month old baby 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: in quarantine out there after learning while you're on that 9 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: flight back from Perth that that Perth had been declared 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: a hot spot. And Connie, the concern at the moment 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: is that you are out there caring for your young 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: child and you're not able to get access to some 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: of the essentials that realistically a lot of us don't 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: travel with when we've got little e's like a sterilizer 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: for bottles. 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so yeah, we weren't prepared to come here, 17 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: and my baby is fad with the ball, so I 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: need a clean bottle every three to four hours, and 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: we didn't have any wash in liquid, so we requested 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: that as soon as we got here. Told no, we 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: just had to make do with what we had, and 22 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: then they gave us a microwave sterilizer, but no microwave 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: to put it in. I then also asked for a 24 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: care package to be delivered because we live just in 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: Zakoli and I have everything at home, and they said 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: that the facility was full of too many residents and 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 2: that this wouldn't be accessible. And then I was told 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: later down the line that a sterilizer is a fire hazard, 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: and just all these different stories. But I've finally gotten 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: to someone today who has told me that I can't 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: get a care package now, and they just delivered washed 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: in liquid today. So this was all two days later 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: after we got here, that we have finally been provided 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: with some sort of equipment. I do understand the importance 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: of the quarantine, and I agree with the Hard Springs facility, 36 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: but just issues like this make it really difficult for 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: families to be comfortable, especially when they don't know that 38 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: they're going to be common here. And yeah, it's just 39 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: been a really stressful experience. And I just hope that 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: they're skin in some sort of traction that families soon 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: have to go through it, because it's not a nice 42 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: experience and we all want the best for our children. 43 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just been really difficult and we just 44 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: feel like we're making extreme demand, but it's really just 45 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: a basic need. 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and that's the thing, Connie. I know that 47 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: you're not the first mum who's been out there at 48 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: Howard Springs that has gone through this difficulty. And I 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: think that realistically, we understand that they're coping with a 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: lot out there at Howard Springs, but we've got to 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: make sure that if there are, you know, if there 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: are babies that end up in quarantine, that we have 53 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: got some of those essentials that are required that parents 54 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: do require when they're looking after after little once. 55 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely, Yeah, it's just it's just been a 56 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: bit disorganized kind of which is understandable. It's a busy 57 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: time at the moment, but just even letting us have 58 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: a care package could have resolved this within the space 59 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: of a few hours whenever we first got here. But 60 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: I only just getting tool today that this is something 61 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: that can now bear arranged. But yeah, I just again 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 2: totally agree with Hard Springs in the quarantine system. But 63 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: it's a system which has presented me with a problem 64 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: and it's prevented me from solving it myself. And yeah, 65 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: it's just a basic need really that needs to be massed. 66 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. You know that you 67 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: guys are out there and not able to get some 68 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: of those essentials that really are required. I really appreciate 69 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: you having a chat with us this morning. I've raised 70 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: this with the Health Minister as well, So I do 71 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: hope that this means that we see some change out there. 72 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: You would think, you know, we're a year in now 73 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: to Howard Springs operating. I would say that they're able 74 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: to make sure that you know that if a young 75 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: family is out there with little ones, that they're able 76 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: to provide some of those things that are needed when 77 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: you've got small children. 78 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely absolutely agree. 79 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Connie, I really appreciate you having a bit of 80 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: a chat with us this morning. Let us know how 81 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: you go and and yeah, I'll be keen to catch 82 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: up with you again just to find out whether everything 83 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: did indeed get sorted or does today? 84 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,119 Speaker 2: Yeah? Perfect, Thank thank you for hell Kitty 85 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks Connie.
