Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Cam and Renee's Real Estate Show on Mix 106.3. Step
- 0:05Speaker 1: into stylish, low-maintenance living in Canberra's inner north. Deberg by
- 0:10Speaker 1: JW Land. After another cracking show, Cam, we're ready for
- 0:13Speaker 1: another Mix 106.3 Real Estate Show podcast.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Indeed. Thanks to JW Land.
- 0:18Speaker 3: We really enjoy putting this show together for you and
- 0:21Speaker 3: we enjoy our regular guests. In particular, one Bushy Martin
- 0:25Speaker 3: from Know How Property Finance.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Yes, he spoke about offset accounts and some of the
- 0:30Speaker 1: traps that people can fall into with things that can
- 0:33Speaker 1: go wrong with them that may go unnoticed.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Absolutely. And then he related the whole thing to nightclub bounces.
- 0:38Speaker 1: And just when you think, you know, like he pulls
- 0:41Speaker 1: this one out.
- 0:41Speaker 4: Of the bag.
- 0:42Speaker 1: But trust me, it all makes sense if you have
- 0:44Speaker 1: a listen.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Andy, towards the end, yo, for some really, really good
- 0:47Speaker 3: advice in and around offset accounts. And not everyone understands
- 0:51Speaker 3: exactly how it works. So he can point you in
- 0:53Speaker 3: the right direction.
- 0:54Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 0:55Speaker 1: We also had part two with Gavin Smith from ACT
- 0:58Speaker 1: Snake Removals. We spoke to him recently about snakes being
- 1:02Speaker 1: out and about at the moment, being peak time and
- 1:05Speaker 1: how busy they are. And then we extended the chat
- 1:07Speaker 1: to learn more about how to protect pets in our backyard.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. In particular, dogs. And he's very knowledgeable, isn't he?
- 1:13Speaker 1: He's so knowledgeable.
- 1:15Speaker 3: And again, he had some really, really good advice and
- 1:17Speaker 3: timely advice as well.
- 1:19Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And we also caught up with Johnny Warren from Johnny
- 1:21Speaker 1: Warren Properties about the social housing project with the plan
- 1:25Speaker 1: to renovate 20 social housing properties before Christmas for those
- 1:29Speaker 1: in need.
- 1:30Speaker 3: And so he's had about 180 different people from different
- 1:33Speaker 3: organisations come to him and say, Yes, we can help
- 1:36Speaker 3: with this. We want to help with this. How can
- 1:38Speaker 3: we be a part of it? So there's a lot
- 1:40Speaker 3: of moving parts and it will roll on and hopefully, hopefully,
- 1:44Speaker 3: for those people who need that housing, we get this done.
- 1:46Speaker 1: So we'll keep across it and keep you updated.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Okay, that is the Mix 106.3 Real Estate Show, the podcast.
- 1:52Speaker 3: You're here listening to it before we get to all
- 1:54Speaker 3: of that.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Let's do this.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Mix 106.3's Property Tip of the Week brought to you
- 1:58Speaker 3: by Lister.
- 1:59Speaker 1: If buyers don't love the outside, they might never see
- 2:02Speaker 1: the inside. A tidy front yard and clean entrance can
- 2:05Speaker 1: completely change a buyer's first impression. This tip was brought
- 2:09Speaker 1: to you by Lister. Well, Ken, we often hear about
- 2:12Speaker 1: offset accounts, right? That's not a new thing. And we always,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about you, but often hear, yeah,
- 2:17Speaker 1: it's good to have one. You should have an offset account.
- 2:19Speaker 1: You know, it's meant to be one of the simplest
- 2:21Speaker 1: ways to reduce home loan interest. But what if the
- 2:25Speaker 1: offset account has forgotten to offset? And is your mortgage
- 2:29Speaker 1: money actually working? That's the question we're asking this morning.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Bushy Martin from KnowHow Property Finance joins us. Bushy, good morning.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Good morning, guys.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Good subject.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Yes, yes, of course. And just to kick things off, simply,
- 2:42Speaker 1: what is an offset account and how does it work?
- 2:45Speaker 5: Yeah, well, an offset's a bit like your mortgage's bouncer, guys,
- 2:48Speaker 5: where finally you get someone telling your bank interest, not tonight, mate.
- 2:52Speaker 5: So on everyday transaction savings account linked to your home
- 2:56Speaker 5: loan where every offset dollar reduces the loan balance you've
- 2:59Speaker 5: charged interest on. So for an example, on a 750
- 3:02Speaker 5: grand home loan, if you've got 50 grand in offset savings,
- 3:05Speaker 5: you only pay interest on the remaining 700,000. So your
- 3:07Speaker 5: savings offset and reduce the interest that you pay on
- 3:10Speaker 5: the loan. And your cash stays accessible while reducing interest
- 3:14Speaker 5: at your mortgage rate instead of the much lower savings
- 3:17Speaker 5: account rates where you're likely to pay tax on the
- 3:19Speaker 5: interest anyway. So your offset money bounces keeping interest out,
- 3:23Speaker 5: but you still grab it whenever you need it.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Okay, the offset bouncer. We absolutely love that. So Renee
- 3:28Speaker 3: sort of touched on it there. So how can an
- 3:29Speaker 3: offset account simply fail to offset?
- 3:32Speaker 5: Yeah, well, this is where the great offset imposter comes in, guys,
- 3:35Speaker 5: because the bank can get to hire the bouncer inside it. So,
- 3:41Speaker 5: you know, ASIC's recent bank review found that most identified
- 3:45Speaker 5: offset failures were accounts that were open but were never linked.
- 3:49Speaker 5: And any loan changes like refinancing, splitting or switching loans
- 3:52Speaker 5: can break your offset connection, link it to the wrong
- 3:55Speaker 5: loan or switch it up altogether if you fix your rate,
- 3:58Speaker 5: which means that your mortgage bouncer is wearing a fake
- 4:01Speaker 5: moustache or it's at the wrong door of the wrong club.
- 4:04Speaker 5: So your repayments can look normal while the loan interest
- 4:07Speaker 5: is quietly costing you thousands more, And your home loan
- 4:10Speaker 5: takes years longer to pay off, guys. So you just
- 4:14Speaker 5: don't want to trust the name offset on your bank
- 4:15Speaker 5: app because your bouncer could still be out the back
- 4:18Speaker 5: having a smoke while your own interest is doing the
- 4:20Speaker 5: Macarena through your wallet.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness. And what you described just there, Bushy,
- 4:25Speaker 1: is that something you reckon happens often and that people
- 4:28Speaker 1: just wouldn't notice?
- 4:30Speaker 6: Sadly, yes.
- 4:31Speaker 5: I mean, Ethics Review has found that banks are in
- 4:35Speaker 5: the process of recompensating borrowers for loss interest to the
- 4:39Speaker 5: tune of $ 55 million and counting, guys. So there's a
- 4:45Speaker 5: pretty big silent issue going on there. So well worth checking.
- 4:48Speaker 5: And I encourage everyone to ring your bank and get
- 4:52Speaker 5: them to confirm in writing that it is actually linked,
- 4:55Speaker 5: what interest is being maintained to make sure that's actually happening.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Okay, so you're talking about, that's a huge amount of money,
- 5:01Speaker 3: $ 55 million. So there's quite a difference that an incorrectly
- 5:05Speaker 3: linked offset account can make to the borrower.
- 5:07Speaker 5: 100%, it makes a massive difference, Cam, because if your
- 5:12Speaker 5: offset isn't linked, your bounce is actually on smoker and
- 5:14Speaker 5: the bank's helping you sell for your wallet. Because on
- 5:16Speaker 5: a 6.6% home loan rate, 50 grand in offsets, it's
- 5:19Speaker 5: saving you $ 3, 300 a.
- 5:21Speaker 4: Year, roughly.
- 5:22Speaker 5: And if you keep that offset balance and home loan
- 5:24Speaker 5: rate for the full term with the consistent repayments, you'll
- 5:26Speaker 5: save yourself about 2%. and pay off your home loan
- 5:32Speaker 5: over four years earlier. So an unlinked offset can cost
- 5:35Speaker 5: you big time.
- 5:36Speaker 3: So along with people like yourself, where is the best
- 5:39Speaker 3: place to get information about this? Because it's complex, there's
- 5:42Speaker 3: a lot to it and not everyone understands the dollars
- 5:45Speaker 3: and the accountancy and that's okay. Where's the best place
- 5:49Speaker 3: to learn about this stuff?
- 5:50Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a few sources. I mean, there's a great
- 5:54Speaker 5: report written by ASIC. So just jump on Google. Probably
- 5:59Speaker 5: the best place to just talk to a really good
- 6:00Speaker 5: finance broker. They work with this stuff every day of
- 6:04Speaker 5: the week. So they just pick up the phone. They're
- 6:06Speaker 5: interested in saving money while the banks are wanting to
- 6:09Speaker 5: keep your money. So a broker is probably well worth
- 6:12Speaker 5: a chat to really find out what the ins and
- 6:14Speaker 5: outs of that are.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. People should definitely do that.
- 6:17Speaker 6: Bushy, well.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Thank you so much. And who would have thought that
- 6:20Speaker 1: one of our real estate chats would be relatable to
- 6:22Speaker 1: the people of Canberra who are just coming home from
- 6:25Speaker 1: a big night out and have had interactions with the bouncers.
- 6:29Speaker 1: And here we are talking about it on The Real
- 6:31Speaker 1: Estate Show.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Look, we should be careful as well. They're not bouncers anymore, really.
- 6:35Speaker 3: It's security professionals.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Oh, sorry.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Bouncer to me for my clubbing days.
- 6:39Speaker 5: And just remember that She'll Be Right isn't a security system.
- 6:42Speaker 5: It's just a bank's favourite password, guys.
- 6:44Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Bushy, hilarious. Well, thank you so much
- 6:48Speaker 1: for your time as always. We love having you on
- 6:50Speaker 1: and thank you so much.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. Have a great week.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Cheers.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Bushy Barton there from Know How Property Finance. Well, Cam,
- 6:57Speaker 1: last week on The Real Estate Show, we had an
- 6:59Speaker 1: awesome chat with Gavin Smith from ACT Snake Removals about,
- 7:03Speaker 1: you know, more snakes being out and about at the moment,
- 7:05Speaker 1: what kind of snakes we're seeing and why we're seeing
- 7:07Speaker 1: more of them and, you know, what it means for
- 7:10Speaker 1: him and his job as a snake catcher and all
- 7:12Speaker 1: of that. It was a great chat, but we didn't
- 7:14Speaker 1: get time to... dig down on all the things we
- 7:17Speaker 1: wanted to chat about, one of which was how do
- 7:19Speaker 1: we protect our pets? Because this is a very, very
- 7:22Speaker 1: real concern for many people in Canberra.
- 7:24Speaker 2: And so you know what we can do?
- 7:25Speaker 5: Yep.
- 7:26Speaker 2: We can just have Gavin back on the show.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Let's get him back on. He's on the phone right now. Gavin,
- 7:30Speaker 1: good morning.
- 7:30Speaker 4: Morning, Renee. Morning, Cam.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Now, thank you so much for your time last week
- 7:34Speaker 1: and coming on again today. Can we briefly recap last
- 7:37Speaker 1: week's chat? What are the most common snakes found in
- 7:39Speaker 1: Canberra and the Capital Region?
- 7:41Speaker 4: Yeah, so eastern brown snake, about 80% of calls we
- 7:44Speaker 4: get for that guy. So that's the absolute dominant snake,
- 7:46Speaker 4: highly venomous species, very nervous, very agile, very shy. And
- 7:51Speaker 4: then red-bellied black snake is the number two snake we get,
- 7:54Speaker 4: about 15% of call-outs. Also keen to avoid a conflict,
- 7:58Speaker 4: keen to avoid confrontation. Black top, kind of red flanks,
- 8:02Speaker 4: so lovely, lovely snake. And then the odd tiger snake.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw a picture that someone posted from Queanbeyan
- 8:07Speaker 3: of a big, big red-bellied black snake that was sort
- 8:10Speaker 3: of just basking in the sun on the grass.
- 8:12Speaker 2: So they're around, mate.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Let's talk about an encounter because what we didn't get
- 8:15Speaker 3: to last week was pets and snakes. And so, again,
- 8:19Speaker 3: we're talking about people who are backing onto bushland. There's
- 8:22Speaker 3: lots of people who back onto parkland as well.
- 8:24Speaker 2: In the ACT. and then people who live in the
- 8:27Speaker 2: regional areas.
- 8:28Speaker 3: So what will usually happen if a dog in the
- 8:32Speaker 3: backyard or out and about sees a snake?
- 8:36Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the biggest conflict for me and the
- 8:39Speaker 4: biggest issue I sort of work with. So the dog,
- 8:41Speaker 4: dog sense or sees the snake runs up to it,
- 8:44Speaker 4: thinks it's either a moving rope or, you know, is,
- 8:47Speaker 4: is in that kind of high prey drive mode, um,
- 8:50Speaker 4: the turf defense, whatever you want to, you know, whatever
- 8:52Speaker 4: it is that is the orientation. And then basically grabs
- 8:55Speaker 4: the snake that's trying to usually get away from the dog, um,
- 8:59Speaker 4: by the back end. And there's, A snake spins around
- 9:02Speaker 4: and might bite the dog around the snout area or on.
- 9:04Speaker 6: The paws or whatever.
- 9:05Speaker 4: And sometimes snakes will, you know, try and defend themselves.
- 9:08Speaker 4: They realize they can't outrun and outmaneuver a dog. So
- 9:12Speaker 4: they'll get into that S-shaped pose and, you know, like
- 9:14Speaker 4: an eastern brown snake and just hope they can intimidate
- 9:17Speaker 4: the dog off. But that generally doesn't work with a
- 9:19Speaker 4: dog with a high prey drive. And actually, just the
- 9:22Speaker 4: other day in Canberra, I had exactly that scene where
- 9:26Speaker 4: a small dog approached a very large brown snake and
- 9:29Speaker 4: went right up into the snake's personal space. The snake
- 9:31Speaker 4: got all defensive. And thankfully, the dog didn't get bitten
- 9:34Speaker 4: and the snake did receive a couple of bites from
- 9:36Speaker 4: the dog, but was okay. So this happens just all
- 9:39Speaker 4: the time. So yeah, it's a big issue for us.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Okay. So, and like Cam said, people who back onto
- 9:45Speaker 1: reserves and all that, but also just people in regular suburbs,
- 9:49Speaker 1: you hear of this happening as well. What can we
- 9:51Speaker 1: do to protect our pets in these situations, particularly dogs?
- 9:56Speaker 4: Yeah, look, so just really important to say, and I
- 9:58Speaker 4: mentioned this last week, you can't sort of prevent, completely
- 10:01Speaker 4: prevent entry from a snake visitor. It's just impossible. I
- 10:04Speaker 4: did advise that people could think.
- 10:06Speaker 6: About sunshade cloths.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Being affixed to fences from the bottom quite high up
- 10:11Speaker 4: so the snake basically can't get through and slides down
- 10:13Speaker 4: the cloth but I mean I think you've got to
- 10:17Speaker 4: understand and people need to realise that snakes don't want
- 10:20Speaker 4: a confrontation with a dog they see a dog as
- 10:22Speaker 4: a threat so there is a lot of misconception out
- 10:24Speaker 4: there about these creatures that they're aggressive and they'll have
- 10:27Speaker 4: a go at dogs but they really are trying to
- 10:29Speaker 4: get away from the dogs so a couple of things
- 10:31Speaker 4: I would say practical things is certainly don't use rope
- 10:34Speaker 4: toys with your dogs that's really really important and I
- 10:38Speaker 4: also think it's important to note that dogs are not
- 10:41Speaker 4: a deterrent to snakes. So I hear a lot of
- 10:43Speaker 4: people saying to me, oh, yeah, I've got a dog.
- 10:45Speaker 4: There's not going to be a snake in my yard,
- 10:46Speaker 4: is there? And I'm like, no, absolutely not true. And
- 10:50Speaker 4: you can look into dog training options. There are different
- 10:53Speaker 4: providers around ACT in New South Wales, and I'd advise
- 10:56Speaker 4: people to do some research on that and work out.
- 10:58Speaker 4: You speak to some of the trainers, learn what their
- 11:00Speaker 4: techniques are. I have heard some really good success stories
- 11:04Speaker 4: from people that have trained their dogs.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Okay.
- 11:06Speaker 4: So it can be done with some breeds. Keeping yards tidy, obviously,
- 11:10Speaker 4: is really important to say. And then I think a
- 11:13Speaker 4: snake-proof dog run is where I would like to see
- 11:15Speaker 4: people go more with, which is built off the ground
- 11:18Speaker 4: and has, again, sunshade cloth around it, fixed to it.
- 11:21Speaker 4: I mean, I can certainly help people, advise people on
- 11:24Speaker 4: that front if they want to contact me about how
- 11:27Speaker 4: to go about doing that because I think that's a
- 11:28Speaker 4: really good method this time of year.
- 11:30Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
- 11:31Speaker 6: Absolutely.
- 11:32Speaker 1: And all right, Gavin, well, any last bits of advice
- 11:36Speaker 1: or bits of gold you want to mention to people
- 11:40Speaker 1: in Canberra who might be in these situations?
- 11:42Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just know what the symptoms of snakebite
- 11:46Speaker 4: are in dogs. It's really important. Do some research on that.
- 11:48Speaker 4: There's lots of great stuff on veterinary websites and social
- 11:52Speaker 4: media pages. I think, you know, really think seriously about
- 11:55Speaker 4: the snake-proof dog run idea that I'm talking about, particularly September, October, November,
- 12:00Speaker 4: busiest peak times for snake movement activity. And I just, yeah,
- 12:04Speaker 4: I see this so often in this situation. It's so tragic.
- 12:07Speaker 4: So I'm also going to be doing more research on this.
- 12:10Speaker 4: I'm actually doing research on this right now, this topic
- 12:12Speaker 4: of dog-snake conflict.
- 12:13Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:13Speaker 4: So I'm very keen, and I've done a bit more
- 12:15Speaker 4: research on it, to come back on and talk about
- 12:17Speaker 4: some things we've found and things I can suggest down
- 12:19Speaker 4: the track as well. Confirmed.
- 12:20Speaker 2: It's done.
- 12:21Speaker 1: You just name a date and we'll make that happen. Gavin,
- 12:25Speaker 1: thank you so much. I love all the work that
- 12:26Speaker 1: you're doing around. Last time we spoke to you out
- 12:28Speaker 1: at Royala, about to catch a snake there. Thank you
- 12:33Speaker 1: so much for your time this morning.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Thank you so much, both. Great to speak to both
- 12:36Speaker 4: of you, as always.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Cheers, Gavin Smith from ACT Snake Removals there. Gosh, it's
- 12:41Speaker 1: an interesting topic, isn't it? Well, Cam, we spoke to
- 12:44Speaker 1: Johnny Warren from Johnny Warren Properties recently about a social
- 12:48Speaker 1: housing project that he'd sort of initiated with the aim of,
- 12:52Speaker 1: you know, renovating properties 20, you know, social homes before
- 12:56Speaker 1: Christmas for people in need.
- 12:58Speaker 6: That's right.
- 12:59Speaker 1: And so things have been kind of rolling along there.
- 13:01Speaker 1: So we thought we best get an update to see
- 13:02Speaker 1: where it's all up to. So he joins us again,
- 13:05Speaker 1: Johnny Warren, Director, Sales Team Leader and Auctioneer at Johnny
- 13:08Speaker 1: Warren Properties. Johnny, good morning.
- 13:10Speaker 5: How are you?
- 13:11Speaker 6: Very well, guys. Yourself?
- 13:13Speaker 5: Yeah, good.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Thank you. Now, look, for anyone who missed this, we
- 13:16Speaker 1: spoke to you recently about this. Tell us what you're doing.
- 13:20Speaker 6: Yeah, so what we're doing is myself, Adam Mumford, Joe Whitfield,
- 13:24Speaker 6: Joe Farrell, we're all got together to get 20 homes
- 13:27Speaker 6: before Christmas. And the whole initiative is to, you know,
- 13:30Speaker 6: get people off the streets before Christmas time that are struggling,
- 13:35Speaker 6: that don't have a roof over their head. And, you know,
- 13:37Speaker 6: we're going to put furniture in the houses and and,
- 13:40Speaker 6: you know, give them a nice little Christmas present before
- 13:43Speaker 6: the end of the year.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Okay, so these are social houses that at the moment
- 13:46Speaker 3: are unoccupied, and so you want to take teams of
- 13:49Speaker 3: people in and sort of, you know, give them a
- 13:51Speaker 3: little bit of tender love and make it so that
- 13:54Speaker 3: people can come in and have somewhere to live.
- 13:56Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. We've had over 180 people wanting to
- 14:01Speaker 6: volunteer to help out with this great cause. And yeah,
- 14:05Speaker 6: so we're getting close, but there's still a few hurdles,
- 14:09Speaker 6: which I think we're going to discuss shortly.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. And so what are those hurdles?
- 14:13Speaker 3: There's no doubt, because this is a big thing. And
- 14:15Speaker 3: we know that, and look, on the radio over the years,
- 14:18Speaker 3: we've done this lots of times, and it is humbling.
- 14:21Speaker 3: When you put something out there like this and people
- 14:24Speaker 3: come and donate services and time and products, but it's,
- 14:29Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of moving parts, isn't there, Johnny?
- 14:32Speaker 4: It is.
- 14:33Speaker 6: Look, it passed the assembly and we're like getting through
- 14:35Speaker 6: programmed at the moment, which is the contractor through housing.
- 14:39Speaker 6: And look, there's just a few more hurdles that we
- 14:42Speaker 6: have to jump over and it's just getting harder and harder. So, yeah. Look,
- 14:45Speaker 6: where it's at, it's sort of at a standstill, but,
- 14:47Speaker 6: you know, fingers crossed next week. We've got a meeting
- 14:50Speaker 6: on Tuesday and hopefully we can work something out to
- 14:54Speaker 6: get this initiative across the line to start these houses
- 14:58Speaker 6: and get people in before Christmas. Yeah, totally.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Fingers crossed. And just remind us, Johnny, why is this
- 15:03Speaker 1: so important to you? I mean, we can hear when
- 15:05Speaker 1: you talk to us, but just tell us why it's important.
- 15:08Speaker 6: Yeah, look, it's so important because I've experienced homelessness myself, addictions.
- 15:14Speaker 6: But more importantly, when I did the CEO sleep walk
- 15:17Speaker 6: for Vinny's, I did a CEO sleep out with them.
- 15:20Speaker 6: I met this young lady at the night patrol with
- 15:23Speaker 6: a young child. And, you know, they had no house.
- 15:26Speaker 6: They had no roof. They were sleeping in the car.
- 15:28Speaker 6: You know, they were getting all warm clothes, beaties. And,
- 15:30Speaker 6: you know, I went after the walk. I had to
- 15:33Speaker 6: process things because it was a lot of raw emotions
- 15:36Speaker 6: that come up with my past. And I said, you
- 15:38Speaker 6: know what, let's do something. Let's make a difference and
- 15:41Speaker 6: let's try and help these people in need. You know,
- 15:44Speaker 6: because she was going through domestic violence and she couldn't
- 15:47Speaker 6: get a house. She couldn't get through housing. So this
- 15:50Speaker 6: is where we are trying to make a difference. make
- 15:52Speaker 6: a stand and raise a voice and get this initiative done.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you know, you mentioned you have that meeting
- 15:58Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I really hope that that goes well for
- 16:01Speaker 1: you guys and you can, you know, tick some of
- 16:03Speaker 1: those boxes off and just get things moving. Because like
- 16:06Speaker 1: you said, there's a massive group of people, 180, did
- 16:08Speaker 1: you say?
- 16:08Speaker 5: It's crazy.
- 16:09Speaker 6: Over 180 people. And with all the little hurdles we
- 16:15Speaker 6: have to jump there's obviously that's a limited a lot
- 16:17Speaker 6: because people just want to volunteer and give their time
- 16:20Speaker 6: but through um you know the things that we have
- 16:23Speaker 6: to go through there's a few you know legislation and
- 16:27Speaker 6: um you know insurances and all these things that we
- 16:29Speaker 6: just have to tick off but it's just so overwhelming
- 16:32Speaker 6: and the community's just getting together which is so.
