You know, that also 14 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 3: falls onto the police department. Everybody that I've spoken to you, 15 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: and I'm saying to quite a few people over the 16 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 3: last four dollars, so not one person's got a bad 17 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 3: word to say about the police department. Yeah, they're all 18 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 3: saying the government's not supporting. We don't have enough police 19 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: obviously do their jobs, and the retention rate is absolutely outrageous. 20 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: And as we're all aware, just recently the nursing attorneys 21 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 3: all come out and said they're overworked and not enough staff. 22 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, this is the thing I think we're 23 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: hearing it from you from so many different places.

If we're 32 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 3: complying with all the proper legislation, their eyes across our 33 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: teas in regards to setting up petition. Look, people that 34 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 3: I've spoken to are just so set up, and it's 35 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 3: amazing the amount of people that have given up. They're 36 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: so frustrated in the government. And if it doesn't medicating 37 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: on who you voted for, who you're voted for in 38 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 3: the last selection is irrelevant. It all comes down to us, 39 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: the taxpayer. We're not being listened to. 40 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: And this is I think I hear this so loudly 41 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: and clearly, you know on different days shame where we 42 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: all get a bit frustrated, myself included, where you think, 43 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, you just want them to actually listen to 44 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: what people are saying and listen to the concerns that 45 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: people have got. 46 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: And that's exactly right. Okay, it's becoming a bit of 47 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 3: a broken record in the territory. Mister Gunner hasn't got 48 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: the forethroight to stand up and speak to people about 49 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: the issues that are consent territorians. I mean, this petition 50 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: is going to Catherine Tannan Creek and Alice Springs. People 51 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: from those suburbs have already been in contact with me. 52 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: They're desperate for this petition to go through the rest 53 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: of the territory. I've had phone calls from Druid Island. 54 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 3: When's it coming over there?

It's not something 82 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: that's going to finish overnight. This is a big picture. 83 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: We're talking about all the people in the territory uniting 84 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: together as one voice to let mister go to know 85 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: and his government.

Yeah, 134 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: the underground carpet, a million dollars a day in debt. 135 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: How our kids and our grandkids going to live in 136 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 3: a sustainable territory? 137 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: Look, Shane, the issues that you're raising are ones which 138 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: I you know, I think about, I hear about, I 139 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: talk about on a daily basis, So they're certainly not 140 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: lost on May Mate. What eventually prompted you to get 141 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: to this point where you thought, do you know what 142 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm actually going to set this petition up? 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 3: Look, we're in business ourselves, Katie, and we've been broke 144 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: into numerous times. We nearly lost the business a couple 145 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 3: of weeks ago. It was only through public support and 146 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 3: public health that we actually got the business reopened. And 147 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: that sort of put me in a situation where not 148 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 3: really felt obliged. I had to do something. You know. 149 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 3: The people of the territory helped us, you know, and 150 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: helped us open the doors. And now it's my turn 151 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: to repay the territory. I love the territory.
