1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,559
Speaker 1: Fining me on the line right now is Shelley from

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: IGA's Coley.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Shelley.

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Oh hi Katie, how are you very well now?

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: Shelley? What's that go with the eggs?

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god? I know we're all wondering what's happening

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 3: with the eggs, But there is a massive shortage of

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 3: eggs Australia wide. And I am told it's to do

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: with the transition of bringing non caged eggs well not

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: to be allowed anymore, just to happen ten years earlier

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: than originally said to happen, So it was meant to

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 3: happen in twenty forty six, and apparently they're trying to

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: bring it back down to twenty thirty six. And because

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: of this, people are having to reshuffle their egg businesses

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: around and there's not enough eggs.

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Holy Dooley, Well lucky I managed to get my hands

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: on some last weekend.

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: How like, how big an issue is this, Shelley.

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: We are not getting any eggs at all from IgA.

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: We are having to source eggs more locally to get

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: them from a firm supplies around here. So people are

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: just scrambling to get their hands on eggs and I

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: believe that New Zealand have already put this into playing

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: and partners of eggs are gone up to fifteen dollars

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: having to do with COVID.

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: Apparently fifteen bucks. Goodness me.

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, So when there's a shortage of eggs, that means

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: that we don't have a shortage of chicken meat. But

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: next when we have eggs, there's going to be a

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: shortage of chicken meat because we need the chickens to

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: produce the eggs.

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it sounds like a mass challenge.

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: You're like a riddle that you're telling me about the

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Shelley trying to get trying to process that in my

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: brain right now.

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: Well I did when I heard Well, I just caught

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: the end of it. No one knows what's happening with

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: the eggs because we get customers that I rate because

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: they want eggs, they are ordering them, they're just not

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: being supplied.

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: Wow, there you go.

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: So and so is this expected to be an ongoing issue?

43
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: Well, our supplier is saying at least until Christmas.

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: And it's not even like the toilet paper where people

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: were going out and buying heaps of then storing it.

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 2: You can't do that with eggs.

47
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: Well, I would saying too just because of COVID, Like

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: what is the reasoning? But the thing is there aren't

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: enough chickens to produce the eggs because there's currently enough

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: chicken meat but wet. So they're using they're using the

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: eggs to produce the chickens, right, so they can't sell

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: the eggs because they need the eggs for them to hatch. Yeah,

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: so it's a bit of a circle that we're going

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: to keep seeing. And I am told that he's also

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: to do with this phasing out of non caged egg

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: there go.

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, wow, it's gonna be Yeah, it's it's going

58
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: to be interesting. I suppose to see, you know, to

59
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: see how it all sort of unfolds, and yeah, difficult.

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: I wonder whether we'll sort of see some more of

61
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: our local producers and that I guess you're still if

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: you don't have the chickens out there to lay the eggs,

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: well you can't even deal with the demand anyway.

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: Well that's right, But I've literally just been looking up

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: to try and find some really local egg supplies to

66
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: get them on our shelves. As you know, we always

67
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: love supporting local where we can anyway. But yeah, just

68
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: doing some research to find out who I can get

69
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: local eggs from.

70
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Well, Shelley, let us know how things go and we'll

71
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it. But I know that you'd

72
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: also wanted to get in contact with me. You'd heard,

73
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: you'd heard about the situation of course with Sonya the

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: jockey and the terrible, terrible incident that she'd been subjected to.

75
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that is just horrific. And I've been

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: talking to so many customers about it. Everyone's reading the paper.

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: We're just all mortified. And look, I just wanted to

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: do something really tiny for her and just give her

79
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: an IDA voucher so she can come in and get

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: some groceries. So no money tight for her at the

81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: moment with not being paid and having her wedding, so

82
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 3: we'll give her a two hundred dollars voucher so she

83
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: can get some groceries sorted out. So that's one thing,

84
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: one small thing she doesn't have to worry about that

85
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: this week.

86
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: Good on you, Shelley. Thank you. You guys are always really.

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Generous in those situations, So thank you so very much,

88
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: and we'll make sure that we pass that on to

89
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: her and thank you for coming on and telling us

90
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: what's going on with the eggs.

91
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we'll make sure Sonia get some eggs too, Okay,

92
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: So but yeah, if you can get anything in contact

93
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: with her, that would be amazing because it really you know,

94
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: we're all about supporting local and looking after others when

95
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: tragedy and terrible things hit us.

96
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you really do, and you do that very often.

97
