1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Luke Gosling, Labour's member for Solomon, How are you this morning, Luke.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: Very well, Cody, And just amazed at how close some

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: of those results in the NC election.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, weren't they? I mean? And then when you're hear

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: interstate that, you know, when there's sort of fifty votes

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: or less that a lot of the time they do

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: go to the Court of Disputed returns. But here in

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: the territory, you know, in some cases four and five votes,

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: so quite you know, quite phenomenal that they're not. But anyway,

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: obviously the result is the result, and people seem to

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: have accepted it.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just a quick one on this the two

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: seats issue, Cody, is about sixteen to twenty thousand Territorians

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 2: that aren't enrolled to vote, So yeah, then knows what

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: some of the results might have been if we had

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: full enrollment. So I hope the AAV gets a Strain

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: Electric Commission for some funding to help in Loganathan with

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: his important work.

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Luke. One of the things that I was

20
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: keen to have a chat to you about this morning

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: is Senator Sam mcmartony's obviously in the paper today calling

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: on her Federal Government colleagues to use the Bladon Village

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Workers Camp on Wickham Point obviously here in Darwen, to

24
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: repatriate even more Ossie stranded overseas. What do you reckon?

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Is this a good idea?

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: Well, that's a matter for the Federal government certainly in

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: favor of more Ozzie's getting home before Christmas, if we

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: can do it in a safe way. But Sarada McMahon

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: doesn't have to talk to the NT News. She wants

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: to talk to her colleages down here in Canberra. She

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: obviously can just go and talk to them and say,

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: is there some more funding that we could bring so

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: that this private owned facility, which is what Bladen Point is,

34
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: can be funded to provide quarantine services for the Federal

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: government and their plan hopefully to get as many people

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: home before Christmas as they can.

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the point that I've been making throughout the

38
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: morning is I'm in the same lines as you. I

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: think that obviously we need to get home, but my

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: concern is that we've also got to make sure that

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: we've got all the services that are required. If we

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: do have a second facility operating here in the Northern territory.

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: You know, the last thing that we want is for

44
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: anything to go wrong.

45
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Patty has got to be done in a

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: safe way and basically can't be done without the federal

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: government's support. So I'd encourage Sam McMahon to talk to

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: her colleague down here in Canberra. I'm talking to her

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: colleagues giving them an understanding of the capacity of other

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: facilities up here if they wanted to sort of double

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: down on Darwin's role in the national plan to get

52
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: us his home. But you know that comes with a

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: need for resourcing from the federal government and lets the

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: last thing we want to do is cut corners. The

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: last thing we want to do is have an outbreak.

56
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: And I'll just continue to stress also the defact who

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: are organized in these austraants overseas to get onto these

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: flights now, they need to be doing all the testing

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: before the Ausies even get on the plane, just just

60
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: to make doubly sure that HOWD Springs can do its

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: job safely. There's excellent people there and we're playing our

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: role which all territories should be really proud of.

63
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: And look, we will catch up with Senator Sam McMahon

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: a bit later this morning. But hey, I understand as

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: well you'll kent to have a bit of a chat

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: to us about the universities. I understand that legislation has

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: now passed which will make those university degrees more expensive

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: in some cases.

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really disappointing. Yes, they're hear in the

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: Federal Parliament in camera. The Liberals are the coalition. Federal

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: government pass legislation to make students pay much more for

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: their degrees. So forty percent of students will have their

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: fees increase by about fourteen and a half thousand dollars

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: a year. That'll double the cost for thousands and thousands

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: of of young Territorians and young Australians that want to

76
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: study the humanities, commerce, calm communications degrees like that will

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: now be more expensive than it is to become a

78
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: doctor or a dentist. So it's just a bit galling

79
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: when you've got the front bench of the Federal government

80
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: who've all got those types of degrees. It's they're okay,

81
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: but they're going to double the cost of young Australians

82
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: getting the same degrees as they've got, and so many

83
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: young Australians, young Territorians moving into unemployment about one hundred

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: thousand across the country in the past a few months alone,

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: and with job prospects still the job market a bit

86
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: weak right now. It's not the right time to be

87
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: moving to an American situation where only the kids with

88
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: the wealthier parents can get an education. Otherwise it's sattled

89
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: with a lifetime of debt.

90
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly a disappointing one for any of those students

91
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: that we're looking to go into or are looking to

92
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: go into those types of degrees. Luke, I always appreciate

93
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: your time, mate, Thanks so very much for having a

94
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: chat with us this morning.

95
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: Thanks kerbye, Thank you.
