1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,519
Speaker 1: And today we are expecting the Reserve Bank to meet

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: and determine if there's going to be an interest rate cut.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Now joining me in the studio is the member for

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Solomon Luke Goslin.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Luke, Morning Katie Luke.

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: We're all waiting to see exactly what happens today with

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: these interest rates.

8
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: Reckon about one o'clock. Dar in time apparently will know

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: whether there's going to be an interest rate cut. I

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: hope for everyone out there with a mortgage that there

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: is a cut. The Independent Reserve Bank has obviously seen

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: that there's been a steep decrease in inflation, and as

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: a federal government, we've been creating the conditions in which

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 2: they can reduce rates. They're independence or we don't tell

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: them what to do. But I think everyone is hoping

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: and some people expecting that there is a cut, which

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: will mean a lot for people who either want to

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: get into the housing market and get a mortgage or

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: they're trying to deal with a mortgage at the moment.

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely like everyone's still with that cost of living and

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: if there is some relief in some way, it would

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: be a good thing, be a great thing, Like Luke

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: it's largely being tipped that if that rate cut does happen,

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: that it will trigger the Prime Minister calling that federal election.

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: Do you reckon that's what's on the cards.

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I had. It was great when I

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: was flying n the Springs for that big announcement recently.

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: I actually had two hours just me and the PM

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: talking about a whole range of issues. And he didn't

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: tell me what date he was thinking, but I had

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: thought it might be in April. But let's see, after

32
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: one o'clock today, he might make a different calculation. There's

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: a wa election to take into account in early March,

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: so that maybe sort of weighing on his mind whether

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: he also go first or after that. But yeah, look,

36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: we're just going to continue to make the great announcements

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: that support the territory. The biggest thing that happened with

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: the eight hundred and forty two million down an our

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: Springs that was announced the couple of weeks ago, was

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: there two over two hundred million for extra policing. So

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: that's going to be a big help for the NT

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: government to do the work that they're trying to do

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: at the moment.

44
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: And so I suppose it will wait and see. Does

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: the election have to be called before May seventeen?

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: Is that the date well has been held before.

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: Before May seventeen, So really it's got to happen. Well,

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: it's going to happen soon, sooner or later. Well, we'll

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: all be keeping a.

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Very close eye on it now, Luke, we know that

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: over the weekend three point six million dollars has been

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: emarked over four years to open a Darwin registry for

53
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: the new Administrative Review Tribunal. It's aimed at improving access

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: to justice for residents of Darwin and the surrounding area.

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: What exactly is this?

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: This is a really good commitment. So not since the

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: nineties have Territorians been able to walk in to what

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: used to be called the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and have

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: a face to face meeting and get some advice and

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: prosecute their case. What's it? It's about if a Territorian

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: has a problem with a decision that the federal government's made,

62
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: so it might be around their senilink, it might be

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: around their DVA claim, could be around their NDS finding,

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: then this is the ability to have that decision reviewed.

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: But as I said, since the nineties. If Territorians have

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: wanted to face to face meet and to prosecute their

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: case have had to fly in a state. So we're

68
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: going to establish the Administrative a Review Tribunal Office here

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: in Darwin. It's a three point six million dollar commitment,

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: plus some extra funding to make sure that people living

71
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: regionally there's some liaison officers to make sure that they've

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: got access. So it's just basically access for Territorians to

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: justice when it comes to decisions that the federal government's made.

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: So is it going to happen regardless of who's elected

75
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: well with it?

76
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: Or is it an election commitment?

77
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: We've budgeted for it. Yeah, so the money's in there.

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: Obviously if there was a change of government, they'd have

79
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: to decide whether they're going to do it or not.

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: It's going to be a good thing.

81
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like a good thing in the sense that,

82
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, I look at all the volume of messages

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: that we receive about people complaining about things to do

84
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: with the ndis to do with you know, with luck

85
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: with sensleague.

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

87
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: So if there is somebody who you can go in

88
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: and speak to about those things and to try and

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: be heard.

90
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: I would think that that's a really good thing.

91
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and immigration be another federal decision and usually it's

92
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: the last line of appeal. So we just want to

93
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: make sure that people in Darwhen and Parmerson obviously territorians

94
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: have got that ability to get that advice locally and

95
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: to meet with someone face to face locally.

96
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: How soon do you anticipate it could be up and running.

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Well, there's already one officer that's ready to go, and

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: we're going to employ some more people for that office.

99
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: So I think that's one of the things. You know,

100
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: we're not into an election campaign yet, so I won't

101
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: get all over the top political. But one thing is

102
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: is public servants are really important to Darwin. Not only

103
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: are they the people that go into shops every day

104
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: and go to our schools or in our sporting clubs,

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: but public servants are really important. These public servants provide

106
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: justice for territories in terms of decisions made by the government.

107
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: So we would really hope that that is kept.

108
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: Now, Luke, I want to ask you. Jack had gotten

109
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: in contact with us yesterday and he said, Hi, Katie,

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: what happened to the last federal election promise for a

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: place for homeless veterans, so he's wondering what the goal

112
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: is with that.

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad Jack's asked that question. I've just met

114
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: with Mates for Mates with the veterans out there in

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: Parmeston this morning. Look, there's been some delays, but I

116
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: must say all credit where credit's due. I've had some

117
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: real progrems with the new NT government in terms of

118
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: getting the land out at Marara established, but also our

119
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: federal government has given some funding to RSL Queensland to

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: help with the operational costs of the center. Obviously, the

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: federal money to build it is one thing, but then

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: it's got to be staffed and power and water paid

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: for and all the rest of it. So there's both

124
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: now the operational funding NT governments helping with the land.

125
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, I've had some good interactions with Jins and

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: Charles who's the NT Veterans Minister, and it's looking promising

127
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: that we'll be able to start construction later this year.

128
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, Well, I think that would be a really

129
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: good thing, and I know that there's so many territories

130
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: that will want to see that go ahead sooner rather

131
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: than later.

132
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: No, one hundred percent and it's unfortunate there have been

133
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: these delays. But if I can just quickly mention another

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: thing that I just wanted to see hopefully sped up,

135
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: is that youth engagement hub for Ksarina, if you can.

136
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: Well, we've been talking about that for so long.

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 1: So what's the go with that, because it literally feels

138
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: like it's something that's been on the cards for a

139
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: couple of years.

140
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: Has been so the former Anti government cleared the old

141
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: Casarina fire station away, removed it, got rid of all

142
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: the p fas, had got the plans drawn up. But

143
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: now the new Anti government, the Finaccio government, has said

144
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: we're not going to put it there, They're going to

145
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: put it somewhere else. I'm just worried that that's going

146
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: to push back even further the construction of the youth

147
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: engagement hub. Like you know, whatever the situation is with

148
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: young people here in Darwin and Palmerston, I'll tell you what.

149
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: Kasarina Square and so many others just want this youth

150
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: engagement hub up and running.

151
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: So where is the proposal to move it? Where would

152
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: it go instead?

153
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: There's apparently there's a couple of locations that they're looking

154
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: at in the northern suburbs. The thing about that side

155
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: at Casarina is that it's close by to Kasarina Square,

156
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: so it was seen by the square itself as a

157
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: really positive thing to have the kids going there instead

158
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: still be able to access the public transport nearby, but

159
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: the range of activities for the kids, the food for

160
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: the kids that need to feed, and the mentors to

161
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: help these kids stay on the right track. I think

162
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: you need to do more of that preventative stuff, which

163
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: is why it was my number one campaign commitment last year.

164
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: We're part of the way there and that piece of

165
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: land's being cleared, The designs have been the designs are there.

166
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: We just need to start building it. And I think

167
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: it'd be great if they looked at building it there

168
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: still because when they did the consultation, half of the

169
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 2: people who were against it lived in Palmerston and the

170
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: rural area, so I don't see how the Kazarina Youth

171
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: Engagement Hub was going to matter to them at all.

172
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: All right, well we might and follow that up to

173
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: see if we can get a bit of an update

174
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: on that, because it is something that we've been talking.

175
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: About for a long time. Look, we've got a few

176
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: listener questions.

177
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: One here that says, Hi, Katie, can you ask Luke

178
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: what's happening in the space of aged care as nothing

179
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: seems to change federally for us here in the Northern Territory.

180
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: No, it's a very important point. And we've recently reformed

181
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: the care at home packages so they're like heaps better

182
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: than they have been previously and that's a real step

183
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: towards having people generally want to stay at home if

184
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: they can, so that means that people will have more

185
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: support to stay at home. But we still have this

186
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: waiting list for residential age care. The former Anti government

187
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: put out an expression of interest to see who in

188
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: the age care residential age care marketplace wanted to build

189
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: out at Palmerston near the Palmaston Hospital because that's where

190
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: we've got a geriatric ward, so it just made sense

191
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: out there. It's in the bush. It's a great spot.

192
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: But what unders is probably going to be needed a

193
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: combination of some NT capital and federal government capital. And

194
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: I'm working with Anika Wells, the federal Hecare Minister about

195
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: this is it's going to need to be some federal

196
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: commitment into the capital to build it and then have

197
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: a not for profit operator run it because no one

198
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: could make it work.

199
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: Well and it has so many impacts on so many

200
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: other levels. And I do think that if you've got

201
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: age territorians who are able to stay at home and

202
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: have those age care packages, it's a wonderful thing because

203
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: they can then be at home. But not everyone's in

204
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: that situation, and so then you've got senior territorians who

205
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: are unfortunately having to stay really long periods of time

206
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: in hospital because they've got nowhere else to go.

207
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: And that's very expensive to have exact class senior territories.

208
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: Not only is it not a good environment for them

209
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: to be in, our senior territories shouldn't be in hospitals

210
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: just because there's nowhere else for them to go.

211
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Well, then they're not able to do programs and things

212
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: like that if they have various different things.

213
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: Examples a fella Vietnam veteran actually that I met this morning.

214
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: He lives in terrace gardens and he was out on

215
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: his little mobility scooter and he can get out and

216
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 2: meet with a veterans group because he's in a residential

217
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: age care facility. So we do need another one that

218
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: can take well, we've got sixty places federally that are

219
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: funded ready to go, just when we did the why

220
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: people companies out there, not for profits and the for

221
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: profit age care providers just said with the sixty age

222
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: care beds paid for by the federal government, we still

223
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: can't make it work to build it not economically viable.

224
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: So that's why we have to step in federally with

225
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: a funding commitment and the NC government co contribution is

226
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: always what works best.

227
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: And so is there any money that's going to be

228
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: ear marked by the federal government.

229
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're looking at that in this next round. There

230
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: has been around Unfortunately has been a delay for Darwin

231
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: and Parmeston because the first round of age care residential

232
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: but also real money to build age care facilities was

233
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: for regional NT so there's a bunch of those that

234
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: are going to be announced. But next in the next

235
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: round is for Metro so Darwin and Parmesan, so that's

236
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: when we'll be able to get our capital. But we

237
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: need a not for profit providers. There's good for profit

238
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: providers in Darwen and Palmerston, but I think we need

239
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: a non not for profit provider just to make sure

240
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: it's affordable. For people and that's our aim.

241
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Well, Luke, we will no doubt talk more about that.

242
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: Another quick one, any update on Ald.

243
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I met with ald at the end of last

244
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: year down in Sydney. It was a robust discussion and

245
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: they're not ruling out having a presence in the NT.

246
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: Are they ruling it in? Because ruling it out, it's

247
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: not that anyone can say that.

248
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: Look, well, it was encouraging. I'm working on the German

249
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: angle through a couple of German MPs, made a minds

250
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: mine as well, and they've made some inroads for us.

251
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 2: It's about food security for territorians and more choice for territorians.

252
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: So we're definitely we're still on the Eldi case. There's

253
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: what I've been impressed by is the amount of territory

254
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: businesses that want to find solutions to make it work

255
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: for Aldi. Eldi are prepared to have a look at it.

256
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: They haven't ruled it out, but they're still Their line

257
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: is we have no current plans. But again I say

258
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: to you and your listeners that they said that about

259
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 2: Mackay as well, right up until they announced it.

260
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: Luke, we are going to have to leave it there.

261
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: Thank you. As always for your time this morning. We'll

262
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: talk to you again soon.

263
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: I reckon we ruin the lead up to this election, CAD,

264
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: so yeah.

265
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: Got to know what date you make sure you let

266
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 3: us know.

267
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 2: I'll you know.

268
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: Thanks Luke, much appreciated
