  Speaker 2: going to ask?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Very well? How did it go last night?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, we had a great after evening with the community there,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the people that could make it at the police and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood Watch who gave us some amazing tips and
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: victims of crime as well, who let people know as
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: they are, unfortunately a victim of the support that they
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: can get from victims of crime.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And did you get a good turnout in the end? Shelley?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: How many do you reckon?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You had? You know what, Katie? I did turnd around
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: in attendance, but I haven't had a chance to count
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: this morning. It was a little bit slow to start off,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: but as for the night went on, we did have
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a good crowd there. So look, I say about eighty
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: people came along and look, it's a hard time too,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: because they've all got dinner and kids. You can't expect
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: everybody to be there at the one time. But we
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: did have a vote at the end, and people wor
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: king to get this going more regularly. So what we'll
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: do is we'll hold another one in a month's time,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: so for people that weren't able to attend, to give
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: them a chance to come along as well.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And Shelly, you said, you know, it's a hard time
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: because it was a hard time of the day in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: terms of being dinner time and that kind of thing.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But it's also a hard time because there's lots of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: people at the moment who are feeling a bit I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: suppose apprehensive maybe of being out and about because there
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: is quite a large deal of COVID in the community.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: It's made a lot of businesses have to kind of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: change the way they're doing things a little bit. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I understand that even just today you guys have launched
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a bit of a click and collect so that people,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: if they are worried about it, don't have to go
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in store.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: That's right. We've been getting a lot of phone calls
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: from the community. So we have just done our website
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and hopefully we'll be launched this afternoon so that people
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: within the community who do want to contact us click
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and Collect can just reverse their car in, call a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: number and we will pop the groceries into their boots.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: So that's a massive undertaking for a little independent like us,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: but the community is calling for it and we want
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to provide the community with as much support during this
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: time as we can.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, Shelley, I do want to ask you very quickly,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and I know a lot of the details yet to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: flow through, but during the week that was this morning,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we did have one of the ministers on evil LAWLA
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and she said that there's going to be a five
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: million dollar economic stimulus package for struggling businesses around the territory,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the Business Hardship Package. I'm not sure if that is
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: something that you know, the business like yours or our
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: other supermarkets and you know IGA's and independent grosses around
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the place will be able to take advantage of or not.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know the details of that, Katie, But what
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I would like any assistance with is the extra freight
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: costs that has skyrocket.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Due to these to the trains and the truck's not
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: being able to get through. Right, there's a lot of
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: extra hours that truck drivers now need to put in
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: an extra thirty hours I'm told so our freight.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Bill has gone up astronomically and I would love some
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: help with that peticilly so that that then doesn't have
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to get passed on to the consumer in the long run.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Very good point, Shelley, when you talk sort of percentage wise,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: like how much are you talking that that freight bill's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: going up?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Oh? Like double oh wow. Yeah, it's a lot because
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: if you're talking extra thirty hours, they've got to put
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: more people on the truck because they're driving through New
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: South walest Queensland up to Mount Isa than a coss.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the extra case that they're having to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: do from out Australias that'stronomical. So the freight people they
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: charge us more like it's just it's just how the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: world works, so that the consumer doesn't have to or
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the businesses don't have to put the bill for this
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and make a loss. I would really love to support
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: government support for that. Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Fair cool, Well we'll talk more about that, Shelley. Lay
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: always appreciate your time. Thanks for the quick chat this morning.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Thanks Katie, thank you. Weekend you too,
