00:00Hi, I'm Tiny Holly. I've been lucky enough to be nominated for the Wellness and Safety Awards of the Agricultural
00:07Awards.
00:08I'd like to find out the bloke who nominated me, to be honest.
00:13I'm an auctioneer around Western Australia and Australia, mainly livestock, but also branched out into the charity and corporate a
00:22few years ago.
00:24I'm just about $600,000 off raising $50 million for charity, something I'm fairly proud of without being a fig
00:33jam.
00:34At school I was told I'd be pretty ordinary and stick to the routes of out and in the sheds.
00:40Almost dyslexia, so that's probably the main reason why I'm so happy to do it.
00:44I've been a sufferer of depression for 29 years and I suppose that's where my heart is now, is trying
00:51to save one person at a time.
00:53Never going to save everyone, so it's something that I'm very passionate about and I believe there's light at the
01:00end of the tunnel.
01:01It may be very faint, but it is there, so I'd like to sort of preach that around the territories
01:07and countryside.
01:09And yeah, so good luck to the winner. I certainly don't think that I'll be one, but it's great to
01:16be here and great to be nominated and yeah, all the very best.
