  Speaker 1: what went on last night and knowing that your that

  Speaker 1: your daughter and another staff member were there, because I like,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I know that you guys treat that place like everybody
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: there is family, so it would have been devastating for.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: You there was. But you know, I'd just like to
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: acknowledge the girls did a great job life night. They
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: did exactly what they needed to do. You know, the
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: money and the stock and the damage, that's all stuff
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: we can fix.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, making sure that they're safe and that they
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: are okay is is the main thing, and they would
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: have been pretty terrified. I'd suspect watching that vision, mate,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I've had a.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: It's you know, when when the vehicle basically goes through
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: those roller doors, you see the damage to the stock,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and then you see people just helping themselves.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Like cut up in pubs for twenty five years up
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: in Darwin, and then this is and we've we've had
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: our own leon and I've had our own business for
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you know, sixteen years, different businesses. This is the worst
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen, you know, so so blatant and they
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: they were here for six minutes, So the girls were
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: locked in the office for six minutes, obviously terrified, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: they took their time. And you've seen the footage. A
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: lot of them weren't wearing masks, they weren't wearing gloves,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: they weren't wearing shoes. They don't they don't care. There's
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: there's no consequences. They obviously they just don't care. We've
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: got plenty of fingerprints with one of them caught himself
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: quite badly on the roller door, and I hope it hurts,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: but you know, we've got plenty of d NAM, we've
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: got plenty of camera footage, and the place were fantastic
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: at place were here within a couple probably fifteen twenty
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: minutes of recall than one of our managers's done. YALTI
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: isier contaminants. I wasn't far behind them. So the police
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: were fantastic forensics for right quickly. You know, we both
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: four o'clock that they've done a lot of work and
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: we're able to tidy outfit. As you can see. You've
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: seen the footage. It's and they've they've made a real
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: math and we're you know, it's just it's horrible for
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the stuff, you know, toughly family.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh made I feel for you and Leah and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the whole team out there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You know, you guys run a fantastic business.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody that walks through that door is welcomed in a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: way that you know that I think is just wonderful.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: You treat the whole community in the same way.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And like I said earlier, and like you've just said,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: your team out there, you treat each other like your family.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So I can hear you know, I can hear the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: emotion in your voice and rightly so. How much damage
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: do you think has been done? From a financial perspective.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I've done some rough co relations. I think we're up
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: to those fifty thousand dollars taking the cash, the stock,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the damage to the stock, the damage to the roller door.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: So it's it's going to be at least fifty grand.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: But like I said before, none of that matters, you know. Yeah,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: ninety's the start for our face.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Oh mate, I'm bloody heartbroken listening to this morning.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I know I told you about crocodile, I know, and.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You know what, I think everybody's going to be pretty
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: heartbroken listening to this because you've actually made it really.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Very a very personal.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Story for everybody in the sense that your daughter's in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: there then in that room, and the other female staff
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: member in the office locked in there while this is
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: all happening. It would have been utterly frightening for them.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You guys must be so glad that they are okay.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad they're okay. I'm so angry that the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: people have done it. You put us in this position.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And yeah, and like I said, the girls did a
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: fantastic job last night, and you know, and they did
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: exactly what they needed to do. We don't need to
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: see heroes about it. Just get yourself in the office,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: be safe. And yeah, there's a financial damage that you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: we can insurance will help with that. But the main
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: thing is that stuff were okay, and that's you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: these two girls are you know they when we started
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: taking on our role. They're doing a great job. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I would hate to you know, this is the impression
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: they have a hospitality after the incident last night. But
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: we will make sure they get whatever counseling and whatever
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: support they need to get them through this. And you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: we've got Keith ourven player mail, everything is good, branking
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: at the front and everything will be good today.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Well, and Sloaney, do you know what, It's got nothing
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to do with the hospitality industry that I know is
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so tight knit and work so well together. It's got
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: everything to do with the lawlessness that we're seeing on
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the streets, you know, and the fact that you've got
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: people breaking in and just helping themselves is disgusting.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: It's disgusting. And I've said before they don't seek the care.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: They're not wearing gloves, they're not wearing hats or covering
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: their faces. They just don't seem the care. There's no consequences,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: and you know, somebody needs to have the balls to
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: start doing stuff about this, you know, the politicians, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I was one, and that they need to start listening
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: to people like you and listen to what's really going
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: on out there. They live in their you know, their
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: white house in town, and I don't think they have
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: an idea of what's really going on out there, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: they need to start paying attention to people like you
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: and listening to your show and listening to the territories
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: are saying, because this is this is bullshit. What's happening.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: It is absolute bullshit.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And like the thing that I always think to myself
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: is you are you and your family are good, hard
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: working people that have chosen to make the Northern Territory
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: your home and your whole family is here. You know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: my in laws got broken into earlier in the week,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: same situation.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: As you said. The police did a phenomenal job.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But you feel like your home and you like, you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: know that's you and I both of you know our
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: family's impacted yours on a much more extreme level. But
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you just think something's got to change here. It's not
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: good enough.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Nothing does have to change. And you know the people
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: who have the ability to make that change me to
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: sit up and listen and you know, see what's going on,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: because nobody should have to go through what we went
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: through this morning.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Nobody, nobody should, Ian Sloan, I always appreciate your time.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I wish it was on a much more positive note.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure I'm out there mate for the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for Melbourne Cup anyway, so I'll be able to give
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you guys, your daughter, Leah, everybody a hug. And yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate you having a chat to me this morning.
