1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, we spoke with Rashid, who's 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: a business owner who was having to live in the 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: back of a shop as a result of property acquisitions 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: around the Sir Donald Bradman Drive Marion Road intersection there 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: and the government had given him an offer. He'd got 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: a higher valuation. Then the government comes back with a 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: really low valuation saying take it or leave it. Rashid 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: wasn't happy. He'd gone to Frank Pangalo. He'd come to 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: us pleased to say. After speaking with Rashid and Frank 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, it seems that the government 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: has come back with a better offer. Let's go to 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: Rashid first, and then Frank Pangalo. Gooday, Rashid, how are you? 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 2: I'm very well met. 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: You now tell me what happened. You weren't happy with 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: They initially came in at well nearly one point four, 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: then they came back to just over one. Is that right? 17 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: That's right? And now they came back to the original offer, 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: which is very exciting. And you know, moving up from 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: our own home which is brand new, not building one more, 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: I'm still excited. I'm very happy to the community to 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 2: the youth to the Frank and our mayor Michael. Thank you. 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: Okay, so you're now going to have to do what 23 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: find somewhere else to live at the moment? Are you 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: will still in the back of the shop. 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: At the moment, I'm still in the back of the 26 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: shop because it's at least for a year. But it's 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: not so bad. At least I know that I have 28 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: the money coming very soon and I can look for 29 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 2: something that's relevant to my needs. So thank you. 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: You got to stay in the area. Do you think I. 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 2: Would be staying in the same area because my kids 32 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: just go to the well the childcare that's maybe a 33 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: minute away, yep. And my boys there's got four kids there, 34 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: so they all goes in the area they school. 35 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: So six of you are living in a back room 36 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: of the shop. You Lisa, you've got it as a 37 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: cafe there. 38 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: It's not a backroom. It's an attached home which I 39 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: use for my living. You to a business. So's it's 40 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: good now because I know that I can. You know, 41 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: it's a difference between you can and then you can. Yes, 42 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,639 Speaker 2: what makes life much easier now, it's much better. 43 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: What's the cafe called? Give it a plug while you're 44 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: on the radio here. 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: All right. The cafe is called half Cup Cafe, so 46 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: we actually not just a cafe. We serve the community. 47 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: We also run councils coffee training to us. So well, 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: this is happening on the radio and in the nispaper. 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: It's a lot of people came for to know that 50 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: they are there for us. That's something that I wouldn't 51 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: get it. And as this happens, so every negative has 52 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: something positive. I'm so happy. 53 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: Good on your Rashid. Thank you for coming on again. 54 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Glad it's been resolved. 55 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: Thank you, Matthew. 56 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: And let's talk to Frank Panglo played a big role 57 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: in this as well. Get I Frank you know, yeah. 58 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 3: Matthie, thank you very very much. And it's good to 59 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: see common sense providing Rashid's case. And our contacted Transport 60 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: and Infrastructure Minister Kitts and Thurnas and thanked him for 61 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 3: the proper response and resolution by his department. But it 62 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 3: shouldn't have taken this long normally having to get a 63 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 3: public in the media to highlight the injustice here. It's 64 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: not quite what Rashi had wanted, but he's satisfied with 65 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 3: the outcome and he can move on because it's been 66 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: quite stressful for him and his family. But these compulsory 67 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: acquisition matters shouldn't be dragged out, particularly during a cost 68 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 3: of living and housing crisis. And I'm now drafting amendments 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 3: for the Land Acquisitions Act so that compensation offered accurently 70 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: reflects movement in real estate markets. The Act has passed 71 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, property values have more than doubled since then. 72 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: In the meantime, the government's been happy to collect massive 73 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: stamp duty from real estate transactions up to a billion 74 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 3: a year, billion dollars a year. 75 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: Oh real, Yeah, that's right. So there is that. And 76 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: on top of that too, it's just the fact that okay, 77 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: they've put in the one point four or close enough too, 78 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: and then scaled it back as a as a revamped off. 79 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean, how does that happen in this day and age. 80 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: Well, it shouldn't happen. It was ridiculous. And look, I'm 81 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: glad common sense vild. 82 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Good on you, Frank, thank you, and well done there, 83 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: and collective pat on the back for everyone involved. That 84 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: is a good result for Rashi and certainly anyone in 85 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: that situation. Too. You know you can always come to 86 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: us for help and we'll get you in touch with 87 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: the right people that can pull strings behind the scenes 88 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: to make it happen. Love doing that, Love helping you out, 89 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: and we're always here. On eight double two three, double 90 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: O double oh.
