  Speaker 1: because there's two first for Catherine singers. There's going to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: be an expo and also an engagement hub.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Katie. We're really really toughed atual that we can
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: go down there and really have an expo down in Catherine. Right,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: we have a health and wellness in our springs. So
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: this is the inaugural one in Catherine, which you hope
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to do it on a yearly basis, so hopefully next
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: year you might be able to come down and walk
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: he oh.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Well that'd be lots of fun. Yeah, So so tell
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: us what people are going to be able to do
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with this, you know, with the ex and the hub.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Well, we actually have over twenty two exhibitors which we're
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: really excited about. All the exhibitors like Life at Out, Barriers,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Catholic Care, anglic Care, and some of the obviously the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Northern Charity government departments like the Anti Concession, Anti Seniors
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Recognition Scheme. They'll all be down then people can just
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: go around and have a browse and look at all
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the services that are available for seniors in Catherine and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: find out a little bit more about them. So really
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: excited about that. And obviously we'll have a seat down
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: there as well. But the Engagement Hub will allow lots
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of seniors Catherine. Once they register with their email, they'll
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: be able to get all the information and also talk
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to each other. So that's what it's about. It's about
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: connecting and keeping in contact with everybody throughout the Northern churchy.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So somebody and Catherine can talk to a senior down
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: in other springs, a Turnant Creek person once they've registered
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: in the hub and they can say, oh, does anybody
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: know about this? Somebody can Catherine, or somebody in Darwin
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: can go yeah, why don't you try this? So really
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: rather excited. It's all about connecting seniors throughout the Northern churchies.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: So it's the first and again we're really excited.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Oh good stuff. So how are our seniors going in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: some of our other town centers I e. Catherine firstly,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and also in Alice Springs where we know there's been
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: some real issues with safety.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Catherine is going well, but as you said, in Alice
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Springs it's a little bit of a different story. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I was down there that quite a few did mention
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: that they will be leaving, and especially now the government
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: has an egg on an election promise about building a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: lifestyle village as well. That would be a gated community
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: which they'd feel a lot safer in. They're now shopping
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: in pairs. They're now also leaving their handbags at home
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: so nobody can steal them. So it's a really sad
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: sat affairs Katie.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It is, isn't it. You know when I heard about
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that situation where there was an older woman I believe
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: she was in her eighties who was knocked down. You know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: your heart breaks for our seniors when when you've got
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: young people who are seemingly sort of praying on.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Them, well exactly, it's besides being it's despicable and it's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: appalling and there's no respect. And that's another thing, Katie,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: hope you I know we're stuck for time, but we've
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: got a Grandparents' Day on the twenty fifth of October
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: which have just been funded for and their idea is
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to hopefully get grandparents and grandchildren and from all general,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: from all multicultural societies and business societies together and have
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit more respect for our older generation because really,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: quite simply, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: We exactly rely do have to have a lot more
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: respect for the older generation. Don't prey on them, respect
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: them and a system if they do need help. So
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: we find that really really important. So twenty fifth of October,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: keep that free, probably be at the Cdo Morara Stadium
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: again and we'll have different games of things that people
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: can play together. But in the morning I'll have more
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: information Katie, probably about another month about the exact what
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: we're doing with all the schools around the Northern Church
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: as well. Want to be a part of it as well,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: so the younger generation and the older generation can get together.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Oh good stuff, Sushire. It's always great to talk to you,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you again. No doubt in the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: very near future.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Thanks Katie, and take it. And I think you're going
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to be number one, Katie.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to you on being part of that Anty
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: News Most Powerful women's list. Very well deserved.
