1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: But joining me in the studio right now is the 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Lord Mayor of Darwin, convat Scalas. 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 2: Good morning to Kon. 4 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 3: Good morning kid in the beautiful dry season day out there. 5 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,079 Speaker 1: Oh it's still a little bit warm, but it's. 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 3: It was gorgeous, but probably by four o'clock will be humid. 7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: Now Corn, the City of Darwin has delivered the first 8 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: post pandemic budget and it's headlined by a sixty point 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: five million dollar capital program. It has also seen that 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: those rates are going to go up somewhat four point 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: five percent on average. 12 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: Talk us through firstly that capital program. 13 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 3: I'll talk to you first through the rags and there's 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 3: a couple of program. Now we'll get to buy our 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 3: rags every year. We actually wanted to increase by three percent. 16 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 3: In the past three or four years in the pandemic, 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 3: we didn't increase the rates at talk the year before 18 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 3: the year before this one we increased by twenty a 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: half percent. Unfortunately, we can't keep the raids lot. I 20 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: mean another cost of living is going up. Unfortunately because 21 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 3: of living go up for the council too. Concrete cost 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 3: to use still cost much to use. We've got level pressures, 23 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 3: so who have to increase the rates because we have 24 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 3: to present a balanced budget as required by the legislation. 25 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: What does it mean coin in terms of the average 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: amount that it will go up for the everyday Darwin residents, Well, it's. 27 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 3: Not good to mean much about a dollar fifty a 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 3: week ninety three dollars a year, so it's not a 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: significant amount of money. But you make a difference because 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that if I close one of the 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: libraries to save money, people would be up in arms, 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: especially if I close one of the child Yes, and 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: that's well, I don't want to do that one. 34 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: Look, I think people understand that, particularly given the fact 35 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: that for the last couple of years there hasn't been 36 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: that rate increase during the pandemic, that there would be 37 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: a rate increase. 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: But I just wonder what. 39 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: Kind of impact it's going to have on some that 40 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: ninety three dollars a year. Are there sort of are 41 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: there discounts or are there different ways that for our 42 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: pensioners and some of those people that are maybe doing 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: it a little bit tougher. Are there are there rebates 44 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: for them or what's to go over them? 45 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: Have if people got difficultly paying their rags. They come 46 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: to us and we discuss with them whether they can pay. 47 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 3: We create a plan. Believe it or not, we never 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: had a problem. Never ever, very few people mister and 49 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: missus average does not yet prob with the rage. It's 50 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 3: sometimes the big developers they're behind paying their rates rather 51 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: than you and me because people they're planning and the 52 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: budgeting and they're paying. You can pay upfront, or we 53 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: can pay in installments, or even better what I do 54 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: every fortnight, I put money towards my rates. End of story. 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: Con let's talk about this Capital Works program.

The plan will go out today. I've 60 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: got four pages from page forty six, forty five to 61 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: fifty with Capital Works and on top of it is 62 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: the cas Areina swimming pool, which is twenty five million dollars. 63 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: Yesterday we had a presentation by the three tenders what 64 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: they want to deliver with this money. Casuarina. Yes, it 65 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: takes time, but it's not something you go and pick 66 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 3: up in Ikea and you put together.

We 170 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: walked together now to see how can we help them 171 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: to minimize crime, throwing stones and everything else. I hear 172 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: the grapevine they want to move the bus exchange to 173 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: the trial road. Cupid idea, because myself and the new 174 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: owners think, why you want to put it but exchanged 175 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 3: next to the licensed premises because you're in a club. 176 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense. 177 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: Look, I think at the moment as well, what we're 178 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: experiencing when it comes to crime is it's sort of 179 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: easy for us to go it's petty crime, or it's 180 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's some of it's not hugely terrible, 181 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: but it's stuff that's impacting, you know, people say every 182 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: day life. Like yesterday we spoke to a we spoke 183 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: to the Northern Territory Police. 184 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: They confirmed that one. 185 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: Of our listeners who we'd spoken to the day before, 186 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: she'd had a vehicle stolen, wound up that a twelve 187 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: year old was arrested after driving it off an embankment. 188 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: You go, that's actually like it's it is terrible. It's 189 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: a terrible situation. 190 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: But then you know you add to that, even people 191 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: getting in contact saying Katie, I went to put petrol 192 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: in my car, you know, had three girls approach them 193 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: and threatened to bash them. Things like that that we 194 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: just do not need. It's changing our lifestyle in the 195 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: territory for the sure. 196 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 3: Agree with you, and I think we sometimes we might 197 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: have to get tought. Bekind I would suggest that actually 198 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 3: the government should have a look really because the crime 199 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: committed by young kids. What is young tick kids doing 200 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: out there? What their parents doing out there? Where do 201 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: they live? And the other thing is the young kids 202 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 3: it seems not to have a future. We lock them 203 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: in dawn Dale. Is this the best solution? How about 204 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: we create a system where all these young kids if 205 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 3: they break the law, instead of doing be locked in 206 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: watching television, they actually have to attend the school. And 207 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 3: if they attend the school and they get and they pass, 208 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: then they can get out earlier than the sentence. So 209 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: give them something in future. How about some of the 210 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 3: young boys go to like apprenticeship, they learn to do something, 211 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: get some future in their lives. You can't just sit 212 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 3: there and says, oh, well they're young pig kids. So 213 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 3: these are actually young kids. Now they're going to be 214 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: the young criminals of tomorrow. 215 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: Con if you had a wish list when it comes 216 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: to some of the crime and anti social behavior that 217 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: we are saying right now, what would you like to 218 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: see changed or what would you like to see happening. 219 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: I would like to see more police on the street. 220 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 3: I would like to see the police station back in 221 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 3: caser in a shopping square like it was before would 222 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 3: like to see, you know, not tolerate two, three, four, 223 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 3: five times bailed two strike, Sure you're out. I can't 224 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: see it. Yeah, you make a mistake. We accept that one. 225 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: But if you make it again, you don't get bailed. 226 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 3: You go somewhere. But as I do you before, don't 227 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 3: lock them up. Give them something to do. People talk 228 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 3: about boot camps. Boot camps are right, but they can't 229 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: even already write how they're going to get the future. 230 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: Let's give them an opportunity. And I had to say 231 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 3: that Alfred was on the other side of politics many 232 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 3: ways ago, but he did one good thing sentence to 233 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 3: a job that was a brilliant plan. This is something 234 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 3: we should bring back online for the older criminals, but 235 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: the young kids that actually they don't have a future. 236 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: Send them to school, make them sit there and tell 237 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: them if you pass the mark, then instead of sitting 238 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 3: there six months, you might come out a month earlier. 239 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: Something to give them a future. 240 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: Well, Colin, let's wait and see how it all goes 241 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: under the new Chief Finister's leadyship.
