Speaker 1 (00:00):
Brian Adams is the music. This is the muster on
Hakani will nailor Troy Jill Naylor apologies. Jill out of
Rural Women New Zealand joins us next, having a bit
of a mere today with names. So, good afternoon. How
are you. I'm great, And it's been a hectic couple
(00:23):
of weeks down here in the south. Firstly, you're based
up there around Alexandra. Did the wind affect you guys
up there at all?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
No, not not really. I mean we were sitting the
embraced for it, but it never really arrived. No, but
we were kind of waiting for it. Yep, as usual,
the wea, they just went right around us.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
What's your season like out there? Coincidentally, are you having
a decent spring?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, it's been really wondy actually, and yea, things are
just just starting to dry a little. But it's just
been exceptionally windy, strong ones and that's that's quite funny
considering we missed the strongest one.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, that's the irony. It's the tale of it takes
the season.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but no, that that's probably the
biggest comment on it's been. Yeah, some decent rains, but Yeah, no,
they don't take long to disappear when you're getting northeaster.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So we look at the weather situation down here from
a couple of weeks ago now nearly two and a
half weeks. Goodness me. Time moves on. But the damage
that the wind cause was it was far and wide.
To be perfectly frank.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh it was. It's been huge. Yeah, just that the
widespread nature of it all and the number of people
who have been affected, it's massive. We actually we were
on the road around northern Southland Fiordland into in Macagol
and then back up they cut through god over the
last couple of weeks and yeah, it's horrific and I
think we've probably scooted a lot of the worst of it.
(01:57):
I think, yeah, no, it's been horrendous and it's going
to be such a long along recovery period, a full
recovery period. Just just the length of a time it's
taken to get the power back on to everybody. Has
has had a massive effect.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So what does real Robin, New Zealand do in a
situation like this, Jill.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, we have our Adverse Events Relief Fund, which is
that's thousand dollar grabs for people who are in really
deep personal hardship due to an adverse event, an adverse
weather event. Those applications are there. Just check out our
website for details on that. But we also we're part
of the We're part of the emergency calls that go
(02:43):
on that we're going on daily for that first couple
of weeks, along with all of the rural service industries,
through All Support, Trust, MPI, Ministry of Social Development, Forestry,
everyone was on those calls and everybody has pulled together
really really well. Our role is we step in wherever
(03:06):
we can. We had a team in Belt Closer who
we're pecking Goudie bags to go out care packages to
go out to people affected all around South Chicago. That
was a massive effort. The support real support industries put
together a huge number of care packages for about everybody
(03:31):
in south and south and west of Tigo I think,
and got them all delivered. That was a massive effort.
But we're well aware that this will be a long
ongoing thing. We can do some catering drops and things
like that for people who need it. I've been far
more in touch with the Chicago end than the Southland end.
But our Southland people have ever been very much on
the ground there. But we're also very aware that a
(03:57):
lot of our members down there have been affected themselves.
So we've actually got a regional meeting on Wednesday and
we'll be looking at what we can do as a
whole region there.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, of course southwest of Tago heavily affected by the weather,
the wind on as well. And let you say, this
is going to be a marathon not a sprint. Now
the inspiring way Henna conference that occurred a few weeks
ago down here in the south, how did that all go?
It sounds that was a really great event.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Ah, it was incredible. It really was so many high
caliber presenters in Gorwa for two days. It was a
real treat to have Tory Peters there, a local good
girl and New Zealand javelin champion. She did a couple
of coaching sessions with the high school kids and she
(04:45):
spoke at air Open event that evening and it was
really great. We had breakfast with Nadia Liam and we
had some Julia Jones came down and did a presentation.
Hamie Scott her DOTS Communication effective Communication presentation. There was
(05:06):
so many and so many workshops. Honestly, it was massive.
There was something there for everybody. There was it was connection, learning,
health and well being, business advocacy, you name it. It
was pretty much there. The program was incredible. We was
about one hundred old old there for the two or
(05:27):
three days and yeah, everybody was buzzing afterwards. Yeah, and
a great showcase for Gore as well. I did come
home with a bottle of Hocanoi moonshine beer, honey Liqueur
and also some of the beautiful truffles that they have
on sale. Oh my goodness, they're so good.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Tory moreby, of course local Olympian doing great things. Now
the AGM for Rural Woman's coming up, Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
