5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm just ringing up to see if I could just

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: do a quick shout out to my sister and her husband.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: It was their twenty fifth wedding anniversary yesterday. Nice well,

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think it would have been, but unfortunately that

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: was yesterday, and the night before they lost their whole

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: house and everything in it in the fires up in

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: tari Way, So their twenty fifth wedding anniversary was spent

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: in tears running around. There is absolutely nothing left of

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: this house. And what I just want people to just

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: realize is, you know, they're real people, and it's it's heartbreaking.

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: And I'm on my way up there now. I've done

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: a km up dash last night, and they've got the

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: clothes on their back so and they've got their lives.

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: We're really grateful and lucky for that. But to see

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: so many people that have just I think, just throwing

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: their cigarette butts down, and you know, it's just I

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: think we just sort of don't realize till it happens.

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: To somebody we know, and I just wanted, you know,

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: people just to be really aware that these people are

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: really struggling. You know, they've lost everything except for the

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: clothes on their.

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: Back, and you're up on your way up to see them.

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Rhonda, I'm on my way up to my sister now.

28
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: I left at six o'clock this morning from Camden. She

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: used to live down at Camden with me, and I'm

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: on my way up there now. I'm really grateful. I

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: work with an amazing bunch of people at Elderly Public

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: School and they donated their thousand dollars from social club

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: to give to my sister to see if they can

34
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: get some clothes and some food things and whatever else

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: they need, which was really generous of them, and we're

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: really humbled by it. But yeah, it's just going to

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: be a very very long, scary program.

38
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I had a friend who lost the fires in

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: Canberra and she said that at the times like this,

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: the things you need. Don't give your old clothes you've wrotten,

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: old baby clothes or stuff that you would going to

42
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: check out. They need. It's be nice to get nice

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: clean things. Toilet bags were filled with toilet trees the

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: school kids, for the kids, things like that. If you're

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: thinking of donating, they're the kind of practical things that

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: they need, isn't it that right, Rhonda?

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: That's correct. And I was sort of I was having

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: friends dropped around our food hamper last night for me

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to drop off to them as well, and she said, oh,

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's like towels and sheep. I didn't even

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: think of those sorts of things. So it's just all

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: of the practical things like you say, that they really

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: do need. And yeah, so we're just sort of like,

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: we've just got to We've got to find them houses.

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: So that's what they're supply. Like they're staying with friends,

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: which is really really lucky that they've got people. But yeah,

57
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: these was one of I think six on Conboy Roads

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,800
