1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Now yesterday we found out a little bit more detail

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: about the meeting that was happening out at Zacholi following

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: on from a raft of break instead of occurred out

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: there on numerous occasions. Now joining us on the line

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: for a quick chat to let us know how it

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: went last night from Ziccole, I g A.

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: Shelley Lay. Good morning, Shelley, Hi Katie, how are you

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: going to ask?

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: Very well? How did it go last night?

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: Yes, we had a great after evening with the community there,

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: the people that could make it at the police and

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: the neighborhood Watch who gave us some amazing tips and

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: victims of crime as well, who let people know as

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: they are, unfortunately a victim of the support that they

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: can get from victims of crime.

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: And did you get a good turnout in the end? Shelley?

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: How many do you reckon?

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: You had? You know what, Katie? I did turnd around

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: in attendance, but I haven't had a chance to count

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: this morning. It was a little bit slow to start off,

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: but as for the night went on, we did have

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: a good crowd there. So look, I say about eighty

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: people came along and look, it's a hard time too,

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: because they've all got dinner and kids. You can't expect

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: everybody to be there at the one time. But we

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: did have a vote at the end, and people wor

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: king to get this going more regularly. So what we'll

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: do is we'll hold another one in a month's time,

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: so for people that weren't able to attend, to give

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: them a chance to come along as well.

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: And Shelly, you said, you know, it's a hard time

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: because it was a hard time of the day in

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: terms of being dinner time and that kind of thing.

34
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: But it's also a hard time because there's lots of

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: people at the moment who are feeling a bit I

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: suppose apprehensive maybe of being out and about because there

37
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: is quite a large deal of COVID in the community.

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: It's made a lot of businesses have to kind of

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: change the way they're doing things a little bit. And

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I understand that even just today you guys have launched

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a click and collect so that people,

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: if they are worried about it, don't have to go

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: in store.

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: That's right. We've been getting a lot of phone calls

45
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: from the community. So we have just done our website

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: and hopefully we'll be launched this afternoon so that people

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: within the community who do want to contact us click

48
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: and Collect can just reverse their car in, call a

49
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: number and we will pop the groceries into their boots.

50
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: So that's a massive undertaking for a little independent like us,

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: but the community is calling for it and we want

52
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: to provide the community with as much support during this

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: time as we can.

54
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: Hey, Shelley, I do want to ask you very quickly,

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of the details yet to

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: flow through, but during the week that was this morning,

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: we did have one of the ministers on evil LAWLA

58
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: and she said that there's going to be a five

59
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: million dollar economic stimulus package for struggling businesses around the territory,

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: the Business Hardship Package. I'm not sure if that is

61
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: something that you know, the business like yours or our

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: other supermarkets and you know IGA's and independent grosses around

63
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: the place will be able to take advantage of or not.

64
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't know the details of that, Katie, But what

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: I would like any assistance with is the extra freight

66
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: costs that has skyrocket.

67
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: Due to these to the trains and the truck's not

68
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: being able to get through. Right, there's a lot of

69
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: extra hours that truck drivers now need to put in

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: an extra thirty hours I'm told so our freight.

71
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: Bill has gone up astronomically and I would love some

72
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: help with that peticilly so that that then doesn't have

73
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: to get passed on to the consumer in the long run.

74
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Very good point, Shelley, when you talk sort of percentage wise,

75
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: like how much are you talking that that freight bill's

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: going up?

77
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh? Like double oh wow. Yeah, it's a lot because

78
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: if you're talking extra thirty hours, they've got to put

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: more people on the truck because they're driving through New

80
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: South walest Queensland up to Mount Isa than a coss.

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the extra case that they're having to

82
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: do from out Australias that'stronomical. So the freight people they

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: charge us more like it's just it's just how the

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: world works, so that the consumer doesn't have to or

85
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: the businesses don't have to put the bill for this

86
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: and make a loss. I would really love to support

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: government support for that. Yeah.

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: Fair cool, Well we'll talk more about that, Shelley. Lay

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,839

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,279
