00:05then the other services across the state who will do this, also do great work in
00:08primary prevention, but I think it should have highlighted to the government that
00:12those sort of numbers of applicants indicates that there needs to be more money set aside.
00:18It's our part into further conversations to see if we can assist to get more primary
00:22prevention funding. So we're in meetings in Sydney last week, we happened to be in a
00:27meeting with the Premier, I wasn't able to bring it up there but I gave Women's Health
00:31Centre's information that they'd given to me, to the Premier's outsider. So we're trying to get it in
00:38front of as many eyes as possible and to think just to indicate to people how
00:44important it is for primary prevention to happen, not just in Walker, in the Riverina, everywhere,
00:49and that it be funded properly. That's what's the problem is, there's not enough funding and
00:54there's proofs in the pudding by the number of applicants, by the number that were unsuccessful.
01:00The magistration motion is up, we've got letters to write there and with that comes
01:04following up those letters and following up whatever advocacy we can do to try and get
01:08that primary prevention funding back in.
