1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Now, as I mentioned the Glenty, we know that it

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: isn't happening this year. A mini Glenty well set to

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: take place, but as I understand, that's now been delayed.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Now joining us on the line to tell us a

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: little bit more about what the situation is. It is

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Nick Pania's good morning.

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: To you, Nick, Good morning Codie, and good morning to

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: your listeners. Nick.

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: What's going on with the Mini Glenty? Has it been delayed?

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Tell me about it. We've had nothing but forty eight

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: hours of I can I just say things that you

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't expect come up to the point where we've had to,

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: with heavy heart, make a decision to postpone for a

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: couple of months.

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, So, so when's it going to happen?

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Well, we've come to the realization we're not immune to

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: the issues that are impact in the country in terms

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: of product supply, item supply lines, a number of factors

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: that are beyond our control. As recently as Monday this week,

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: we had wool Has come up with a public announcement

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: saying that to everybody to expect their shelves to be

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: still empty for a period of time because they're having

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: difficult filling their shelves up. Ironically enough, Woolies owns the

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: company that supplies us on most of our products arequenty. Yeah, right,

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: we have an issue. Yeah, you know, power generation from

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: the ground that we have, water sanitizations, the number of

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: other factors that we have logistically to run the show.

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: We've just got notification that they haven't come back from

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: other areas so we can put them on the ground.

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: So we've got issues in terms of hygiene and power

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: generation and water collections and a number of other things.

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: So it just seemed to be just a flow on

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: in the last forty eight seventy two hours has just

34
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: gone crazy.

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Well, I know a lot of people who are disappointed

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: to hear that Nick and will be wondering is it

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: still going to be able to happen with these supply issues.

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: Look, we believe will be fine for them. It's just

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: these are circumstances beyond control. There's delays, there's blowouts as

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: a number of factors. You know, we're just it's not

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: just us, it's Australia wide and we have to just

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: deal with the cards that are given to us. Yeah,

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: we're disappointed. Let me tell you, we've how many sleepless nights.

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: Have I had quite a few in the last seven days.

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: More so, haven't slept for three days thinking about what

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: we're doing, how the best solution would be, what can

47
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: we come up with and how best can we save

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: a situation? And more importantly, I mean, we put out

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: a product that supports all the community groups and businesses,

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: so we're not going to take it away from them.

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: We're just going to postpone it to a day that

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: we can fulfill on obligations and and expectations and to

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: deliver the best possible product we can deliver. And there's

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: no point putting out a half hearted effort and just

55
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 2: say that's what we've got to deal with. It's just unacceptable.

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: We're just not going to be you know, we can't

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: run a risk of damaging a great reputation of the

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: best festival and country in terms of Greek festival just

59
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: for the sake of putting on a show on a date.

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: It's just suicide. It's just it's just so we do.

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: Are you at the point where I mean, like it's

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: a really hard on because are you at the point

63
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: where where maybe you're just not going to be able

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: to do it? This year.

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: No, well not at that point. It just had to

66
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: be things that are beyond everybody's control. You know, we've

67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: there's a double edged sword, and we stand right at

68
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: the very tip of a double edged sword. It's extremely sharp.

69
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: And the issue is we rely on a lot of

70
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: local factors and if they don't work and they're not

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: in sync, then there's an impact. If one falls off,

72
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: there's always a remedy for the one that's missing, but

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: you can't have multiples missing all at the same time.

74
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: And we're we're in a situation we just can't control that.

75
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't foreseen, it wasn't planned, and it wasn't identified.

76
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: And the fact is that we're identified. Back in March,

77
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: when we decided to go ahead with this on assurances

78
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: that will be saved have come to fruition and and

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: then that's what it is. We just can't control a

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: lot of factors and that's and that's of logistical issue, Katie. Yeah,

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, I can't even been some of the words out.

82
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: It's tough appointment that we have faced.

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, iber it is incredibly tough. Nick. I know, the

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: question that will be on everybody's lips this morning is

85
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: is there going to be a date when the Mini

86
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: Glenty is going to happen.

87
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: There is a date in place. We're making submissions today.

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: I've already made contact with the various stakeholders to say

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: we're going to be putting a submission in this morning

90
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: for the anticipated date. And we're just doing that right now.

91
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: So we're putting our safe work method statement together, we're

92
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: putting our management plan together, we're doing all the stuff

93
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: that we have to do administrative wy I were center

94
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: through to the relevant departments for approval and once we

95
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: get confirmation on the data veil ability and then we'll

96
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: make that announcement very very shortly.

97
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: All right, So won't reveal the date at this stage.

98
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Still wait for that approval.

99
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we need to have that approval. There's no point

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: publishing a date that you can't have because have other factors.

101
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well mate, do keep us up to date. Let

102
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: us know. I know that everybody is going to be

103
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: keen to come along. And yeah, I know it's a

104
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: tough one, so tough for so many of our of

105
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: our festivals and different events that are trying to organize

106
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: and coordinate things, but particularly something like you know, the

107
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: mini Glenty because it is all the food and everything

108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: else that you need.

109
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: Well, this is it now. Keeping in mind with we

110
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: do have some saving grace out of this. We're still

111
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: hosting an evening on Sunday at a venue to be decided,

112
