The 56 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: good news is actually Beam has done a good job 57 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: by increasing safety measures. So if you ride a scooter 58 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: in a certain period of time in a certain area, 59 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: you might have to do a cognitive test and if 60 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 2: you fail it, you have to walk well. 61 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: Fair enough, because we're saying a number of injuries, you know, 62 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: people going over bloody gutters and all sorts of things. 63 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: Weren't they So I think it's fair enow, that's the. 64 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: First question I asked. Okay, we expanded how many injury 65 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: we had? Well, since last November when BIM started the 66 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: new arrangements we had, we learned about one only incidant 67 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: and dislocated shoulder, which obviously thinks other people got clever 68 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: and they don't do stupid things, or the combination of 69 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: clever people and clever software that Beam is using it 70 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: having an effect. 71 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: So it has been quite positive since being took over. 72 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: Look, there will always be complaining, especially people said, oh, 73 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: they don't make any noise on the footpath. You have 74 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: to remember to say a footpath today used by scooters 75 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: in the past, and even now they can be used 76 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: by bicycles, baskets don't make any noise. But what we 77 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: said to the riders is remember the pedestrians there, drive 78 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: with care, drive carefully, do not speed, and enjoy the ride. 79 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: It's not there to go somewhere quickly. Do you want 80 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: to do that? Catch a taxi. It's there to go 81 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: over a point there tomorrow it b without using a 82 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: car with less expenses, and enjoy the ride. 83 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: Yesterday we caught up again with that concerned perap resident 84 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: who told us there was no progress on a more 85 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: secure fence around the childcare center. You and I had 86 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: spoken about this a few weeks ago. Do you know 87 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: where this is ash? 88 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: Yes, Sir Katie actually checked it out. Actually, the responsibility 89 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: and the project is under the control of the Body 90 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: Corporate of the particular set of unit we ordered to 91 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: spoke to them. We are paying fifty percent of the 92 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: fence because the tenants of the childcase that only do 93 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: minor repairs, the big repair are ours comes. It's quite 94 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: happy to pay fifty percent of it. We're waiting for 95 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: the design and that project is driven by the body 96 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: corporate of the units taking. 97 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: So long because they're worried that it's a safety concern 98 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: for the children, which something is fundamental. 99 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: Because they're driving it, we have to go along with them. 100 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: I believe there was some problems in the beginning. There 101 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: was a change of leadership with the Body corporate, believe 102 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: it or not. The color of the fence and an 103 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: issue and a retaining world too. But guys, if you 104 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: do it tomorrow, happy to come to the party, and 105 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: we pay fifty percent, and we would like to see 106 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: as long as possible, especially because of the safety of 107 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: the children. 108 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I think it's imperative that it does get 109 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: sorted sooner rather than later. 110 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: And it chance feels cane up. 111 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: Bureaucracy is holding things up, you know, at different levels 112 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: at the moment in a lot of different location. 113 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 2: And it was our fence would be done. But because 114 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: it's a body corporate and body corporate drives it, we 115 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: have to go along with the body corporate independent organization. 116 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: We can't just step in and do it ourselves. 117 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 3: Look, we've got a few questions from listeners this morning. 118 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: One that I do want to ask you, and this 119 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: actually doesn't fall under the council, but I think it's 120 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: still worth raising it, says morning Katie, could you please 121 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: ask Corn from the time he was asked to put 122 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: in the billiards at Malac, how long did it take 123 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: to get them sorted? So you know Malac where you 124 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: guys had the ballards up. I believe it's Malak And 125 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: Judith is asking, she's just curious. As at Sanderson Oval, 126 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: at Sanderson Middle School, they've got some real issues at 127 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: the moment with anti social behavior. Whon's driving on to 128 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: that oval? Now that comes down to the government. But 129 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: we spoke to their chair, the chair of the school yesterday. 130 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: He said they've been told that it may not be 131 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: able to happen now until next financial year. 132 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 3: People are furious about it. 133 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: So I guess we're trying to get a gauge of 134 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: how longs it take to get billiards up. 135 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: For a project. We have to have the money and 136 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: the moneys are located every year in the budget. Now, 137 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: if this just came up, my advice is, please write 138 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: to me if there's any savings in the budget.

Right 144 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: the ballards in my luck were actually put because the 145 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 2: police came to us, told us they want the bullage, 146 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: tell us where they want it, and then we've got 147 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: a grant and put it. But if you write to us, 148 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: we're trying to find the money one way or another. 149 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: Do it. But if you're right to us, please write 150 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 2: to us about details and everything else. The other option 151 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: is annoy it's election time. Wait for the elections. It 152 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: does to settle and then approach your local member whoever 153 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: it is. 154 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 3: Well, they've done all that and do it again. 155 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to tell us and we will 156 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: push it from our side to do so what. 157 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: You're a councilor try and help the atizen. 158 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 2: Look, we're working very very well with a number of 159 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: local members both sides of politics. There are some local 160 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: members more active than others. 161 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: And we're very happy to do so in this instance, 162 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: and you know it's not a council issue, but in 163 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: this instance it seems as though what has happened is 164 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: the money's actually been allocated, but they've been told that 165 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: it's not until are the minor works project for twenty 166 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: five twenty six.

I've seen the 172 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: Nakara the Yellow school does the same. So there's actually 173 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: a government has a role to play. We actually put 174 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: in ball outs in places that belong to the councils. 175 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: I cannot spend them council money on. 176 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: Government No, no, and nobody's suggesting that you do. I 177 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: guess what they're trying to get to the bottom of 178 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: some of our listeners is they wondering how quickly it 179 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: can actually happen from the council's perspective, because it seems 180 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: like it's going. 181 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: It's gone at Snail's place. 182 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: The government trying to do things as quickly as possible 183 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: within budget. I mean the example is the Casarina pull 184 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: six months ahead of schedule within budget. I don't know 185 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: what there are INNGE messages with the government, but certainly 186 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: if it's a public place, please talk to us and 187 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: we usually there are savings during a budget time. If 188 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: it's a public place, council place, we can move very quick. 189 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: Con a question here from one of our listeners, Good morning, Katie. 190 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: Can you ask con this morning why can't the council 191 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: be pensioner friendly with issuing a yellow sticker or an 192 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: ID on our car and windscreens allowing two hours free 193 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: parking in the city at those parking meters. I'm one 194 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: of many Darwin senior pensioners who have old or issue 195 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: who have older issues with mobile phones. When commisars previously 196 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: seem to just laugh at off and indicated too bad, 197 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: you need to get more modern mobile phone and or 198 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: more modern mobile phone and learn to use it. It's 199 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: all right for him to make those comments, as I'm 200 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: sure he may have those other things, but I don't. 201 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: I'm very sorry about it. But the reality is we're 202 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: moving now and in an era where you have to 203 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: have a smartphone. Their government is moving now to a 204 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: national idea card that you have to have a smartphone 205 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: to do things. If you wanted to do MYGARV, you 206 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: have to have. 207 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: A smart's I did look into that last week and 208 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: it does look as though these options that you don't 209 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: necessarily have to do that from what the government has said. 210 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: The federal cover week. 211 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: Get is that you will not have a paper information anymore, 212 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: even the driving license now they are going to be 213 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: on your phone like in New South Wales. 214 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Again no, even here you've got the option to still 215 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: have the actual hard copy of your driver's license. 216 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: But the option of a free parking everything else is 217 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: not my decisions, a council decision. 218 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: Should we do something more for pensioners to make a 219 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: horse to make the city pensioner friendly? 220 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: Where do we stop? I mean today for that tomorrow 221 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: will be somebody else and somebody else. Now there is 222 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: a wetroduce or previous country introduced parking meters because of 223 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: the constant complains about public servans parking for eight hours 224 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 2: on the streets. 225 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: I used one of the new parking meetings yesterday. I 226 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,479 Speaker 1: didn't find it too difficult. But I'm pretty okay with technology. 227 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: Like I've got a smartphone where you know, I know 228 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: how to how to use. 229 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 2: It Extera to use the new meters. You can use 230 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: your debit card, you know, the one your pension goes to, 231 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: the one you used to buy your fruit and vegils 232 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: in the world to. 233 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: Be condescending to see, it's like speaking like that to 234 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: the moment they're asking, when they're saying, how. 235 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: Can you help us? 236 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: It's not my decision. The new technology dictates what we're 237 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: doing now. People said to me, yes, there's are so pleased. 238 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: I don't I don't have to use credit card because 239 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: you pay interest on that. But the so is because 240 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 2: they just took out a debit card, flug it. 241 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: And went away with it so stiff. 242 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: It's not stiff, it's actually we have. This is the 243 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: option we have to live with and we can't have 244 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: other options. For example, the basic card. Nobody else uses 245 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: basis cards in Australia, only in the Northern Territory and 246 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: some areas. I can't do much about it. My sins 247 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: will not take debit card because there's no microchip on it. 248 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: I have to live with it as a councilor as well. 249 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: So really there's not going to be any other experts. 250 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: I guess I'm just trying to. 251 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: Make it very questions for us. 252 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, con that is it for this morning.
