Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gold. It's Jonesy Demanda driving you home. Here's a lovely
story that I read yesterday. Amidst all the misery and
the grief of the Bondai massacre in December, has come
a really lovely, lovely story. There are two first responders.
Their names are James or Jimmy and Alexandra or Alexia.
Alexis's known and they both live in Bondai. They'd done

(00:24):
their Bronze Medallion kind of first aid thing together, but
never really knew each other. But they were both there
on the night because they're going to a Christmas party
of some mutual friends. They were there when these terrible
event's unfolded and they both thought, well, what training can
we bring to this, how can we help? They leaped
in and they were both working to save a man

(00:44):
who was shot in the leg, and they've fallen in love.
So this lovely couple who lived a couple of streets
from each other in Bondi. As I said, they didn't
really know each other, just vague acquaintances. And as they say,
it feels like a miracle even to them. They were
thrown together on the events of that terrible night, and
what is lovely is that they saw the best in

(01:07):
each other in the worst of circumstances. As he has
said it says in this article, they'd seen the good
in each other. They'd witnessed how they'd handled pressure and
their care they took with the injured. And so they
got a man into an ambulance and he's being driven
to hospital, and they were driving along behind to make
sure all was well. I think they had someone in
their car as well. And he said that Lexi phoned

(01:29):
her mum to chat with her in the car, and
he remembers thinking, she's so strong and it's inherent in
her and in her family, and I love this. So
they saw vulnerability in each other and because of that,
they wanted to take it slow because I thought we've
both been in these scary circumstances. But they just could
not stop talking to each other, holding on to each other,
and they fell in love and they're getting married, and

(01:51):
I love this part of the story. Rabbi Levi Wolfe
was so delighted to hear the story. He's made a
spur of the moment off. But he could marry them
in the synagogue, the first non Jewish car right honor,
and that might be what they'll do. You know, I
was at the traffic lights the other day and it
was just this little sticker that just said Love Always wins.
You know, that's that's what it is. That's what it is,

(02:11):
and that's what you do. That's what you need to
hold on to. So that's a beautiful story. Great story.
Good luck to them both. Maybe a good portent for Instagram.
Well yes, since it hasn't gone off for a while. Yeah,
be good. If you won Love Always wins, you could win.
