Speaker 1: Indonesia well at this stage it's been reported that about

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,319

Speaker 2: Good morning, Luke, Morning Katie.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: What's the latest from your perspective, Luke.

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: I've been speaking to people in Dilley and down in

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: the Embassy in Canberra and also people from the Department

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: of Foreign Affairs and Trade, so everyone is getting the

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 2: same information through about a really massive loss of life

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: and a lot of people injured and homeless from this flooding.

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: Unlike Darwin that's pretty flat, team was very mountainous and

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: what's happened is they've had really a lot of rain

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: over a short period of time and that's flooded down

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: through the capital Dillian. There's about seven thousand people that

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: have lost their homes are in evacuation centers in Delhi,

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: needing some support.

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: Well, and we know how difficult it is somewhere like

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: the Northern Territory when you go through a cyclone or

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: when you go through a terrible flood, you know, let

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: alone being in another country where a lot of the

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: time those buildings are not built to the same sort

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: of standard as what we see here in Australia, particularly

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: here in the Northern Territory, So that loss in terms

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: of property and even just those essentials. There's a lot

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: of things that they're going to be needing at this point,

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: isn't there.

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And talking to someone in Delhi, they were

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: saying that what everyone's really needing it some panadol, because yeah,

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: that's a really human thing that with their medical warehouses,

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: their government medical warehouse being flooded, their vaccines COVID vaccines

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: that Australia has donated arrived on the weekend when all

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: the flooding was occurring. But I guess the good news

38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: is those twenty five thousand vaccines have arrived. But of

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: course now that everyone's been had to go to shelter

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: in these evacuation centers, controlling the spread of COVID within

41
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: those centers is become a real or it's a real danger,

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: so I guess they need lots of things. They need

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: some drinking water, some emergency food, and it's great to

44
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: see the Darwen or the territory community rallying as they

45
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: always do in the Portuguese Teamories Club have got an

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: event on Tomorrow night where people can bring along clothes, nappies,

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: household items that are going to be necessary for people

48
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: to rebuild because a lot of these seven thousand people

49
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: have lost everything.

50
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: Now where can people sort of find out a bit

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: more information about that event, or if they do want

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: to make a donation, what can they do.

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: There's a number of ways obviously in disasters like this,

54
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: actual cash getting onto the ground through international charities that

55
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: are working there is really positive. And I've put a

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: link on my Facebook page for Carratas, so they're a

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: charity organization that's got people on the ground in Dilley

58
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: that can actually take that cash and help out with

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: these evacuation centers. But there's also some great work being

60
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: done with Vinnie's with the Portuguese Smories Social Club out

61
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,279
Speaker 2: at Marara where they're fundraising but they're also taking donations

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: that they'll put in a shipping container to be shipped

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: over to Dilly. Obviously that's not going to happen quickly though,

64
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: so that's why they're also saying donations can be made

65
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: and that will help in the short term. There is

66
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: I've spoken with their north. They're waiting for the work

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: that the airport in Dilly is open because that had

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: a lot of mud go over it. So Edin author

69
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: also said that for the specific high need, really immediate needs,

70
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: that they'll be able to assist with some transport over

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: to Dillhi as soon as the airport in Dilly is open.

72
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Well, let's hope that they're able to do that sooner

73
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: rather than later and get these things over to them.

74
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,800
