We know Northern Territory police 24 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: have now located the remains near Palumpa, believed to be 25 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 2: that of a missing twelve year old child. Yesterday, as 26 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 2: we're wrapping up the show, the police did release information 27 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: saying that the child was reportedly attacked, as we know, 28 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: by crocodile in Mango Creek. That was on Tuesday, An 29 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 2: extensive search effort was mounted in an effort to locate 30 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: the child. Senior Sergeant Erica Gibson said this was devastating 31 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: news for the family, the community and everyone involved in 32 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: the search. She said police are providing support to the 33 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: family and community, along with the first responders who attended 34 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: the scene. Now we know that the girl's death marks 35 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: the first crocodile attack in the Northern Territory since twenty eighteen. 36 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 2: Back then it was when an indigenous ranger was killed 37 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: in northeast Arnham Land. An absolutely terrible situation for that family. 38 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: I cannot imagine the heartbreak that they must be feeling 39 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: at this point in time. 40 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: Utterly tragic. 41 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 4: Any death is tragic, but the girl was so young, 42 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 4: you know, a whole life ahead of her and that's 43 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 4: now been tragically cut short. And of course the family 44 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 4: she no doubt she had brothers and sisters, Auntie's uncles, grandparents, 45 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 4: plus the extended community. And you know, I see it's 46 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 4: raised the issue again about crocodile culling. And you know 47 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 4: there's always going to be risk associated with swimming in 48 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 4: remote communities. 49 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 7: Bill Bongs, it. 50 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 4: Doesn't matter where, even just swimming around the back of 51 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: where I live on want to Be Holts. We wouldn't 52 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 4: do anymore because we know there's crocodiles there. So it's 53 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 4: just it's just a tragic set of circumstances. And I 54 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: mean there's a crocodile management plan out I think that 55 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 4: the consultation, So I would encourage anyone who's listening that 56 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 4: has an interest of any kind to look at that 57 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 4: crocodile management plan. It's on the film's website. I don't 58 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: know which one, but it's probably Parks so much, you know, 59 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 4: because that does reference crocodile culling. It references a whole 60 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 4: lot of other things. But I just, you know, send 61 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 4: my sympathies to the family and everyone who knew that 62 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: little girl and think at all and the helpers, you know, 63 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: the people people who have had to search and risk 64 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 4: people touch job for them. 65 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 6: And I've got kids around that same age, Katy, and 66 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 6: I just I cannot even fathom what that would have 67 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 6: been like, you know, knowing that she was missing, and 68 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 6: then obviously the tragic news that she was and you. 69 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 3: Know, I have my words about it. 70 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, I'm happy to stand corrected. But when 71 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 2: we caught up with Commander Danny Bacon. Earlier in the week, 72 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: he had said to us that his understanding was that 73 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: her mum had gone and reported it to the health 74 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: clinic staff after after seeing her attacked. 75 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: Is my understanding. So I can't imagine what that would. 76 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 3: Be like for a parent. 77 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, horrible, And I think they are actually a bit 78 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 5: more informations covered. I think they were swimming there there 79 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 5: as a family, doing other activities. They've seen it occur, 80 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 5: and I can't imagine what it would be like to 81 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 5: be you know, you feel helpless, you know your child's 82 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 5: been taken. So that for the community to have to 83 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 5: live through that and be there, and you know, we 84 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 5: had Cabinet andis Is out there only a couple of 85 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 5: weeks ago, and they'd interacted with that family, and so 86 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 5: it's hit them pretty hard as well, because they'd met 87 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 5: the young girl, our thoughts and praised with that commune. 88 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 5: I know Duran Young's head out, their chief minister and 89 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 5: cabinet have some of their public servants there at the moment, 90 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 5: and the West day the Regional Council will be doing 91 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 5: what they can while we continue to find the CROC. 92 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 5: I don't believe they're not located yet I don't believe. So. 93 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 5: I know we've removed a few other crocodiles and they 94 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 5: have the authority to remove this one completely, and I 95 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: think that needs to occur. But yeah, for the family, 96 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 5: just horrendous. 97 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: Well, and as you touched on their keys here, it 98 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: does really reignite every time over the years it something 99 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: like this happens. It does reignite that debate about where 100 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: the crocodiles should be culled. 101 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: And I don't know what the answer is to that. 102 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 2: I'm certainly not an expert when it comes to crocodiles, 103 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: but what I do know is that over the years, 104 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: and certainly there's a lot of people that listen to 105 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: this show who've lived here their whole lives, that have 106 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: grown up here and say to me very often, Katie, 107 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 2: there used to be locations where you would go for 108 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: a bit of a swim or you're. 109 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 7: Just all around me. 110 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, back of my place, it's King's Creek and Miller's Creek, 111 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: and they're well known water holes. Any local person knows. 112 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: You go out there, not so much fishing, just swimming 113 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 4: and whatever. And it was fresh and clean and happy 114 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 4: and lovely all around. Howard springs the same. I mean, 115 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 4: I've got mates who grew up here and they used 116 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 4: to go bush camping, and they'd go and swim at 117 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 4: Cardials Crossing and the Merry River and all those kinds 118 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: of places because the crocodiles just weren't there. 119 00:04:59,240 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 7: They were big. 120 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 5: We had times different times. 121 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 4: And the other thing too, KD is what happens is 122 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: when the major rivers get full, as in frigatively full 123 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: with the large males, the younger males have to move 124 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 4: to further territories. And that's why they've come into the 125 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 4: smaller waterways and the smaller bill of bombs and taken 126 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: up the residents there, and that's their territory. So it's 127 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 4: more than just lots of crocodiles. Yes, how the crocodiles 128 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: migrate and where they're located and why that. 129 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 5: Strategy does talk about culling, but it also talks about 130 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 5: further increase the removal of egg collections. So we're removing 131 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 5: more of those eggs that aren't hatched, which is a 132 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 5: form of culling, and increasing that. Because the numbers are 133 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 5: quite largely they're over one hundred thousand, it stipulates the 134 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 5: document and I think we see bigger crocs now transitting 135 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 5: through East Point, past the sailing club and the like. 136 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 5: And yeah, these young kids out there sailing on weekends 137 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 5: in my electric where you go swimming off East Point 138 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 5: at the moment in the dry season is a lovely spot, 139 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: but you don't let the kids go past the rock pools. 140 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 5: So we do need to look at it. We've put 141 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 5: the strategy out there for people to comment on. I 142 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 5: would strongly encourage every territory and like Casy is said, 143 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: to have a comment on our industry will have a 144 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 5: particular view, but we've got a way up the interest 145 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 5: of industry and are the safety the public. 146 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 4: But I think there's about six or eight crocodile farms 147 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 4: in the top end. Yeah, evill taken you know, and 148 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: primary it's for the skin, you know, it is the 149 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 4: by product, but many of them infect probably a very 150 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 4: successful and so you know, culing, you'd have to look 151 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 4: at how you cull and where you cull, and there's 152 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: a priority area and is it culling by collection and 153 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: then taking to a farm or is it culling by 154 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 4: straight shooting. But then you've got to have people that 155 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 4: are exceptional shots. 156 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 5: Was going to happen. I think we need to be 157 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 5: looking at how we use that running. 158 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 2: What are you thinking, Do you think there could be 159 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: an opportunity here for some kind of safari hunting or 160 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: something keyser or not? 161 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: Really? 162 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: No, you can we could have safari hunting tomorrow if 163 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: you know the government, this government, next government wanted to 164 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 4: do it, you know, and you have agreement from everyone 165 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: and how it's to be done, safety, et cetera. The 166 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: problem with the big Americans and the Europeans who go 167 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 4: Safari Hong is they want to take a trophy home 168 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: and they can't take a trophy administrata because if crocodiles 169 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 4: are listed on site is you know, it's in danger 170 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 4: and threatened species and that's unlikely to come off unless 171 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 4: the federal government lobbies for it to come off. So 172 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 4: they might like to go safarri hunting, but you know, 173 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 4: how do you hunt. It's different for pigs. 174 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 5: I mean, to hold a crocscull you need to get 175 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 5: the permit in the like I mean, it is, like 176 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 5: you said, cumbersome and it's controlled by the Feds. I mean, 177 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 5: arguably are they endangered? Probably now the numbers are higher 178 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 5: than what they were precal so getting things it is difficult, 179 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 5: and I think this always reignites a discussion when we 180 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 5: lose someone to a crock attack. And I can remember 181 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 5: one back when I was in the Army Kakata. We 182 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 5: were on the training range and there was a crock 183 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 5: attack and the choppers had to go and help recover. 184 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 5: So it does happen infrequently, but it's a stark reminder 185 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 5: and it is just horribly. 186 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely and my thoughts are with that young girl's family. Look, 187 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: we're going to take a really quick break because there 188 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: is so much to cover off on this morning, a 189 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: real change of pace when we come back. You are 190 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: listening to Mix one O four nine's three sixty. Well, 191 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: it is a busy week. It's always a busy week 192 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: when you're talking politics and news and current affairs and 193 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: in the studio with us this morning. 194 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: If you've just joined us, he's. 195 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: Got Brent Potter, Kesi Apuric and Mary Clare Boothby. Now, unfortunately, 196 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: yesterday we learned that Hannaman Restaurant had been broken into 197 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: for the sixteenth time, so owner Jimmy Chu has had 198 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: enough after alcohol was stolen by thieves. 199 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: He'd shared that. 200 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: Vision on social media we now know that a man's 201 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: been arrested over that break in at Hnaman in Darwin, CBD. 202 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: But it's alleged that he'd smashed a window of the 203 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: restaurant with a rock and a traffic cone and fled 204 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: with three bottles of liquor just before two am. He 205 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: was later identified on CCTV and arrested near Monsoons with 206 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: the help of security guards. That twenty year old was 207 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: then taken to the Palmerston Watchhouse, expected to be charged 208 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: with multiple property offenses. Now, I think the thing that's 209 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: so incredibly frustrating and angering about this situation is you 210 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: know when you watch that vision and he just like 211 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: he breaks the window open, then he goes and has 212 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: a look and you know, chooses what alcohol he wants. 213 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: It's such senseless crime, but such a huge impact on 214 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 2: a business that's you know, that's a huge part of it. 215 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 4: It's the despair that I'm sure mister Shu would be feeling. 216 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 4: I mean, he just wants to be a businessman and 217 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: run that business. Is because he's got others that business 218 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: of that location, because I mean, we've all been there. 219 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 4: It's lovely food, lovely setting, butt staff all that sort 220 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 4: of stuff, and why should he have to suffer because 221 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 4: of some mongrel scumbag who decides they want to have 222 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 4: a bit of takeaway and not just. 223 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 6: One mongrel scumbag a lot. He said it was his 224 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 6: fifteenth or sixteenth time that's broken into. 225 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 2: Justice, and told apparently the cave was broken into yesterday 226 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: morning as well, at six point thirty in the morning, 227 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 2: and I've got some photos there of that too. 228 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter the location, if it's close to it, 229 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: where by tinants camp or not, it doesn't matter. It 230 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 4: just is reckless disregard for other people's property, lack of respect, 231 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 4: and the whole full letter of the law should be 232 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 4: thrown at these people. I don't care whether they've come 233 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 4: from a poor upbringing and dysfunctional family. Take some responsibilities 234 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: and don't steal and wreck other people's lives. 235 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 5: Plouely agree with what Keys has said. What I would 236 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 5: say is as the first of July we see these 237 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: sort of breaking enters on businesses. We saw it about 238 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 5: two years ago and we changed liquor regulations. We did 239 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 5: change the liquor regulations of the first of July to 240 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 5: make it harder for people to come in and accessl 241 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 5: coll In Town. So you reckon that could be what's 242 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 5: called there has been a correlation before we've done it. 243 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 5: I suspect this is related to that. You know he's 244 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 5: stood there seeing the alcohol gone I haven't seen the 245 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 5: footage and gone and stole it. We see the cav 246 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 5: as the first of July, those regulations change where if 247 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 5: you're not from Darwin or Palmerston, you're not being certain 248 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 5: lets you have an address, and so there'll be people 249 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 5: that are being put on the BDR and can't buy 250 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 5: grog and they go and do this senseless property. 251 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: So be a situation though, where we have got people 252 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: that are sort of languishing in our CBD or different locations. 253 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: They're drinking publicly, they're there, they're sitting around, you know, 254 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: for different periods of time you run out of booze 255 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: and you go, oh, well what am I going to 256 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: do nowhere? So but I'm going to break into somewhere, well, I. 257 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 5: Mean at one in the morning potentially or two in 258 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 5: the morning. Sure, you know, we could say that's probably 259 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 5: the case as well. But I also think we've got 260 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 5: we've had a target operation. We announced two a week ago. 261 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 5: I think I was on the show that's been running 262 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 5: at the moment in Winale, in the city and in Casarina. 263 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 5: And I saw the car yesterday out and prapp tpping 264 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 5: grog at the bus. Stop moving people on. When you 265 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 5: make it harder for people that have an addiction or 266 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 5: are here to access grog and they can't get illegally, 267 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 5: some people take in their own hands and go and 268 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 5: steal it. 269 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: Now we know if thiske was local, or if he 270 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: was here from somewhere else, or what he was. 271 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 5: Doing here welled to believe he wasn't local. What I 272 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 5: would say is in the budget we put in this 273 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 5: year is eight million dollars of bi secure. Now that 274 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 5: doesn't stop everything. And I understand that people don't want 275 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 5: to be a victim. I'd I want them to be 276 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 5: a victim. I don't want to have the discussion of 277 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 5: people because we should be talking about the good things. 278 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 5: But where we can, we're putting more money into be 279 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 5: secure for those to take it. And there's an additional 280 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 5: fifteen thousand dollars per person for alcohol secure, so removing 281 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 5: it from the visual. And I know that for some businesses, 282 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 5: the aesthetics of it is actually part of their business model. 283 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 5: But for those that have the ability to remove it 284 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 5: out of sight, that's all we're offering. 285 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: But why should you in a restaurant right, Why should 286 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: you have to, particularly in a place like Hunneman, have 287 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: to hide your alcohol? Like I was in news so 288 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: recently and literally the wall of the restaurant that I 289 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: was in was beautiful alcohol. 290 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: It was all like it was. It was put up 291 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: like a display secretive. 292 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: Why are we in a situation in the capital city 293 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: of Australia where we're having to hide alcohol behind roller 294 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: shutters because people are breaking in and stealing it? 295 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: Like to me, it goes back to. 296 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: You know, you're treating the symptom not the cause, Like 297 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: we're putting a band aid over a bullet hole yet again, 298 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: rather than actually trying to sort things out. 299 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 5: I'd say it's four or five different things there, Katie. Yes, 300 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 5: you're right, we shouldn't have to hide alcohol. I'm not 301 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 5: forcing any business to do it. What I'm saying is, 302 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 5: if you want to do it, we have got a 303 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 5: grunt available to support you in doing it. It's the 304 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 5: same thing with the OCS. But I'm not going to 305 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 5: force a business to do something. But the government, sets 306 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 5: of policy and dollars there for it. You are right, 307 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 5: there is a group of people that this is causing 308 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 5: day and day out. But when you talk about you know, 309 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 5: band aid on a bullet hole, Well, the reality is 310 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 5: we've got a bunch of people that are addicted to alcohol. 311 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 5: And when you're remind we are opening. 312 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: Up any new rehabilitation centers or any kind of different 313 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: rehab four people that have got these addictions. 314 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 5: So we know that managed or forced or mandated alcohol 315 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 5: treatment facilities don't work. They cost money, and people don't. 316 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 5: You have to want to change, to go and change. 317 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 5: We all know that. 318 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: Get the situation like this, how are you going to 319 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: make any difference than if you've got like you've literally 320 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: you know from what you're just saying, you know, you've 321 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 2: got to have people doing programs. 322 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: You've got to have them wanting to change. 323 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'll talk you through that, and to. 324 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 7: Have it back in the communities where they've come. 325 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: So there we go. 326 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 5: So so that was the point I was going to 327 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 5: get to. So the changes we made around drinking in 328 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 5: a public place, the changes I made about two months 329 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 5: ago in Parliament now force you to go on the 330 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 5: BDR and force you to have a discussion with a 331 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 5: health clinic whether you decide to take up the service 332 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 5: after that, but they do reach out and have that 333 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 5: initial engagement. Alcohol in community is the way forward. We 334 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 5: need to get to a point where people are living 335 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 5: and managing with alcohol. We've allocated money with the federal 336 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 5: government for the alcohol management plans in those those dry communities. 337 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 5: We're not going to open the gate to everyone to 338 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 5: get alcohol. They have to have the plan in place, 339 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 5: but it needs to be occurring in their community. 340 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: I know you've been out to a business yesterday in 341 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: fact where they've been broken into again. There's thing like 342 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: once a month, that's right. 343 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 6: So I sat down with Brad Morgan yesterday from the Reserve, 344 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 6: which coincidentally is about two minutes from Parliament House. It's 345 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 6: also right on the thoroughfare for all our cruise ships 346 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 6: tourists that come up and obviously right. 347 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 3: At the end of the mall there. 348 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 6: And you know, it was actually quite emotional listening to 349 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 6: Brad talk about the experiences he's had and he actually 350 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 6: does hide the alcohol every single night to try and avoid, 351 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 6: you know, having people see it through the windows, because 352 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 6: like he said, he goes to bed every night, just 353 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 6: feeling like he knows he's going to get that phone 354 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 6: call at three o'clock in the meeting, you know, once 355 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 6: a month, he said, he has smashed windows and it's 356 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 6: not just the cost to repair it, but the staff 357 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 6: that endure having to deal with that. Not only does 358 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 6: it get an invoice, but he also you know, he 359 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 6: has to deal with the fact that he has people 360 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 6: coming into to the restaurant, the pub. They're stealing food 361 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 6: off people's plates as they're dining. I mean, could you 362 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 6: imagine that as a tourist in our town that I'm 363 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 6: sure that does not happen anywhere else. He has people 364 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 6: jumping the counter trying to steal alcohol while they're I mean, 365 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 6: he's thinking about what he's going to do in the 366 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 6: future with his family, you know, like he came from 367 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 6: Alice Springs. 368 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. 369 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 6: Brand Morgan has been in hospitality for decades. He's worked 370 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 6: right across Australia. He just cannot believe what is happening. 371 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 6: I mean, he moved from Alice Springs where he operated 372 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 6: venues down there, to the Top End with his family 373 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 6: because he, you know, he wanted to do something for 374 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 6: his family here and now he's just you know, absolute 375 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 6: despair because knowing that nothing happens to these people, you know, 376 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 6: there's no consequences. We've had a government in for eight years. 377 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 6: They talk about generational change. When businesses and our community 378 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 6: cannot wait ten or twenty years, these guys have already 379 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 6: had is it nineteen out of twelve? 380 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: I think that it's having though as well, is like 381 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: it's a bit broader than, you know, than what we 382 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: see on the street. 383 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: It's like there is so many facets to this. 384 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: But even when you look at the Northern Territory and 385 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: indeed Darwin is a capital city growing on a national scale. 386 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: You know, we want to be taken seriously as a 387 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: tourism destination. What's one of the things that you do 388 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: when you go away on holidays? For me, I go 389 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: out for dinner. 390 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: We usually have a walk down the street. You go 391 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: and get an ice cream. 392 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: Well, our ice cream shops closing because of the antisocial behavior. 393 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: I mean that's one example, but you sort of go, 394 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: you walk down the street and do tourists feel safe 395 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 2: walking down the street in our Darwin CBD at nighttime 396 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: at the moment, And I don't know the answer to that, Okatie, 397 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: because I'm. 398 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 6: Not interested of survey recently which was which we uncovered 399 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 6: just yesterday, and it was aimed at tourism business operators 400 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 6: to be able to share with the government their sentiment 401 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 6: on the outlook of the next twelve months. Now it 402 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 6: was the worst results that we've ever seen since that 403 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 6: report started to be compiled I think in twenty twelve. 404 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Brad was saying. 405 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 6: I mean we if he was saying, you know, if 406 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 6: we've got increasing crime, decreasing tourists, you know, less people 407 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 6: coming to live here, then what kind of hope does 408 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 6: that give business owners to be able to continue to stay. 409 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 5: So the opposition would make it sound like crime is 410 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 5: the only reason to numbers down. I acknowledge that it 411 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 5: has an. 412 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 3: Absolutely specifically absolutely just let. 413 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 5: You talk uninterrupted. I think you can do the same point. 414 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 5: Did I not just say those Yes, crime is one 415 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 5: of those drivers. 416 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: Remember it's a show where all of us are discussing 417 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: brench So I'd appreciate if you don't speak down to 418 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: the other women in the studio, particularly Mary Claire. If 419 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 2: you're saying that to her, you'll cut into her at 420 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: different times but I'll lay those ground rules down. 421 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 5: That was the point I'm making is that crime is 422 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 5: not the only reason. It's a large contributor. There are 423 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 5: other pieces that contribute to it. I can't yet absolutely 424 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 5: and I can't talk about every tourist and what they're doing. 425 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 5: What I can talk to is what we're doing to 426 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 5: remediate it. We've covered up on the additional security funding 427 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 5: that Council ceased. We've now got the city. I saw 428 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 5: yesterday three guys rolling around the city safe Vent all 429 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 5: afternoon doing alcohol tip to move on. 430 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: So I say that those security guards helped. 431 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 5: Follow them to the back of monsoons and the CCTV, 432 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 5: and then police reacted. So when we talk about more 433 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 5: police banging on the beat and we talk about consequences, well, 434 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 5: there is more people in our prisons right now than 435 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 5: there ever has been. So when we say there isn't consequences, 436 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 5: what I would argueab be saying I was going to 437 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 5: get to the point what I'm arguably going to say 438 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 5: is that at the end of the day, we need 439 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 5: to convince people to change their behaviors. And I think 440 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 5: what we have to start doing is alternatives to what 441 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 5: we're doing with just a remand for example, how it 442 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 5: springs get people back on community where justice is served 443 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 5: on commune. Give Grood ionics example, they take over the 444 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 5: youth justice system. We've seen an eighty five percent reduction 445 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 5: youth offending on Grood Island. Now, those are the solutions 446 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 5: that will get us the generation. 447 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: And I get that right, But you guys have held 448 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: that up as sort of the shining light now for 449 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: a few years. And I can understand why. 450 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 2: But if it is such a shining light, and if 451 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: they've been shining for quite some time, well why isn't 452 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: it happening again? 453 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 5: Learn every community is at the same stage, unfortunately. So 454 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 5: we have some community groups to the example where you 455 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 5: can look and go they've had a mining project, they've 456 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 5: had many opportunities of financially benefit of community. They've got 457 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 5: a pool of money to work with. Some communities aren't 458 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 5: as fortunate as them. We've seen the youth residential as 459 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 5: facility opened yesterday in Darwin. That is an alternative we're 460 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 5: using to dondale as a tiered approach. So if a 461 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 5: kid's breaching their bail, well we're not just going to 462 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 5: regrant the bill. You're going to go to this residential facility, 463 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 5: learn a skill, or you're going to go to the 464 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 5: ten and Creek one and you're going to go and 465 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 5: do a mustering and cattle work. But if you don't, 466 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 5: if you don't comply with that, well then you are 467 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 5: going to Dondale. There is consequences. It's not the same. 468 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: Look. 469 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 2: I suppose the problem here that we've got now as 470 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: well is people feel as though we've been languishing for 471 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: such a long period of time, right and you I 472 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: do not discount the fact that that's a good announcement, 473 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: that youth facility. 474 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: I think, yep, sounds like a good thing. 475 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: But how have we reached the point where people have 476 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: almost lost hope before that change is coming into play? 477 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 2: And I know that certainly the Chief Minister and yourself 478 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: have said to me at different times while I'm in 479 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: here now Katie, this is what we're doing. But I 480 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: think the worry that people got have got is that 481 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: a lot of your team has not changed. A lot 482 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 2: of your team is still the same, you know, like 483 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 2: a lot of the team members that are in there. 484 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 2: And if you and Eva aren't there standing up going well, 485 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: hang on, we want this to change. So what's actually 486 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 2: going to happen. 487 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 5: I think it's an only discussion or a decision that 488 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 5: voters can make. What I can tell you is that 489 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 5: post COVID, like every jurisdiction is struggling with this, we 490 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 5: probably a struggling with it more because we already had 491 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 5: a significant level of disadvantage from the start. We saw 492 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 5: early access to superannuation. During COVID, we saw community lockdowns. 493 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 5: We've seen a black market in our colorand spirits increasing. 494 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 5: We saw a high police attrition rate which is now down, 495 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 5: like we had all these period these things happening at 496 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 5: the same time during COVID. It's not an excuse, it 497 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 5: is a reality. We've got cost of living, we have 498 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 5: crime that's impacting tourism. I'm optimistic about what the next 499 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 5: couple of years looks like because I can see the 500 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 5: figures from Treasury and we'll get on top of the 501 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 5: crime piece. The problem we have. People want stuff to 502 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 5: change tomorrow. 503 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: Unfortunately generation we wanted it to change when it started 504 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: several years ago, and it didn't. You know, I feel 505 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: as though that's the issue people have got, is that 506 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 2: it's been deteriorating for such a long period of time. 507 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: And now we're forty nine days out from an election 508 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: and we've got a youth facility opening. 509 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: Can you see how people are going? 510 00:20:59,560 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: Well? 511 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: Hang on a sick Why is this happening now? 512 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 5: Listen. I can't comment for anything before I was in 513 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 5: government because I wasn't there for those discussions. What I 514 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 5: can to you is from the day that I took over, 515 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 5: I'd said I did right along as the police. I 516 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 5: listened to them. I've gone and listened to the Transit 517 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 5: safety guys. I've listened to the Youth Justice officers, and 518 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 5: I've said I made commitments to them that I would 519 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 5: deliver certain parts. The funding for police is when I 520 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 5: made to the Alice Springs and Dale General Duties guys 521 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 5: when I met them, and the Youth Justice residential facilities 522 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 5: is part of that commitment. I'm can I. 523 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 6: Quickly just jump in there. Brent says he is only 524 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 6: doing what he has been doing since he's been there. 525 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 6: I mean, Brent was also in government when the age 526 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 6: of criminal responsibility was increased and this has been a 527 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 6: huge problem. Now they're talking about youth facilities which being 528 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 6: stood up seven weeks out from election. I don't think 529 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 6: that any territorian listening out there would have any faith 530 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 6: that there's going to be this change that they keep 531 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 6: talking about, and literally that's what we hear. We hear 532 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 6: lots of words, but there's no real action that follows, 533 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 6: or if there is, it's almost like just to save 534 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 6: face because there is an election coming, instead of wanting 535 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 6: the real time change. I mean, if this government was 536 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 6: really serious, they would deal with that age of Crona responsibility. 537 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 6: I mean Katie in a suburban Palmeston. Just this week, 538 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 6: I had one of the supermarket owners call my office 539 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 6: and say that there is a nine year old girl 540 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 6: that continues to come into the shop on her own 541 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,239 Speaker 6: and she's stealing sprays and we know what sprays are 542 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 6: used for, and this is about twenty times, he said. 543 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 6: He called police and police said they couldn't do anything 544 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 6: because she was under age. Right then he called Territory Families. 545 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 6: He said, oh, she's not in care, so we can't 546 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 6: do anything. So I contacted the Minister for Territory Families 547 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 6: because this is not okay. This is a nine year 548 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 6: old girl. This shop owner is going through hell as well. 549 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 6: No one cares about this nine year old and the 550 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 6: Minister for the first time since I've been elected. She 551 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 6: actually did call my office and leave a detailed message 552 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 6: telling me that she would get all these different services to. 553 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 3: Get involved and to go out to Palmeston. 554 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 6: Now three days later, that business still hasn't heard from 555 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 6: those departments. 556 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: I mean, what something is. 557 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 6: In this system and the age of criminal responsibility is 558 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 6: something that was pushed through Parliament. 559 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 3: Everybody disagreed with it, but Labour decided it was a 560 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 3: good idea. 561 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 6: It hasn't been a good idea because we still have 562 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 6: these issues going on. When those children that are not 563 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 6: taking responsibility for their actions get older, guess where they're 564 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 6: going to end up, you know, with everybody else in 565 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 6: the prisons, which is full apparently. 566 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 7: Look because people break the law. 567 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 5: So I'll deal with the young girl and the crime 568 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 5: issue in a second, because that is concerning. And at 569 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 5: the end of the day that whether they talk back 570 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 5: to whether the territory, families and police call the supermarket, 571 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 5: that doesn't mean something isn't happening. And arguably the. 572 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 3: Super supermarket is the only point of call, though in 573 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: this case no. 574 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 5: They may know the actual identity of the use, so 575 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 5: they may know who that kid is in territories Families 576 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 5: is engaging directly with the kid, and arguably there are 577 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 5: laws that prohibit them from telling the kid's name and 578 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 5: telling the sup market what they're doing because of the 579 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 5: age of the kid. What I would say is the 580 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: Royal Commission made their recommendation for twelve. We have absolutely 581 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 5: no intention to go to fourteen. So before you say 582 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 5: that we have absolutely no intention, are the jurisdiction are 583 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 5: going to that same name. 584 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: I hope we don't because I don't know that the 585 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: other jurisdictions are dealing with the same issues that we are. 586 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 5: Right now, I can tell you're sitting in the National 587 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 5: Policemenister's meeting and same with the attorney or they are 588 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 5: all looking at it now. What I would say is 589 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 5: that you make the one point about caring for these 590 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 5: kids and raising the age is the wrong thing. Well, 591 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 5: you're proposing to go back to ten. That will put 592 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 5: more kids in prison, so that the point you make 593 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 5: about it it means that they can be dealt with, 594 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 5: but they're not. So for example, we establish the twenty 595 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 5: for our child protection team, We've established a safe place 596 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 5: to drop the kids off of. We've now got the 597 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 5: youth residential facility. There is more kids in territory families 598 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 5: care now, So to say that putting them, lowing the 599 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 5: criminal age back to ten, that will put more kids 600 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 5: in prison, which arguably we know and we may not 601 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 5: agree with everything in the Royal Commission, you know, we 602 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 5: may not, but there are definitely pieces of that that 603 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 5: say you put a ten year old kid in prison, 604 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 5: you are more likely to see that. 605 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 3: Person out in the prison. Brand stop saying that that's 606 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 3: what we will do. 607 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 5: That's what you're saying. 608 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 6: No, it's about dealing with the the family and the support. 609 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 6: I mean, it's a nine year old girl. We have 610 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 6: to deal with the root causes, the generational change that 611 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 6: Labour keep talking about. Like Brad Morgan said, we can't 612 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 6: wait ten or twenty years. We've already been waiting eight 613 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 6: under this government, those kids are much much older now. 614 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: One of the other areas I do want to talk 615 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 2: about this morning is actually police numbers. Now, this is 616 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 2: something we've spoken about at length and it does seem 617 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 2: like it's a good move. We've got extra police that 618 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: are going to be on the beat. Brent, you told me, 619 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: I reckon it was last week or they graduated last Friday. 620 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: That there was going to be sixty four police constables 621 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: hitting the beat. We then had the Police Association join 622 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: us on the show and say that not all of 623 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 2: those constables would be hitting the streets. Thirty three wouldn't 624 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: be finishing their training for several weeks. Now, the Chief 625 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: Minister confirming on Wednesday that they're not going to be 626 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 2: hitting the streets until July nineteen. Were you being disingenuous 627 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 2: telling us that they're all going to be hitting the 628 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 2: streets before then when they would? 629 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 5: Absolutely? I went back and listened to the transcript. What 630 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 5: I told you was that they were graduating on the Friday, 631 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 5: and then outlined where they were deploying to. Now now 632 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 5: where they've got to do two more weeks of training, 633 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 5: two days of training, exactly what that's that's Katie. Just 634 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 5: to be really clear, they got told where they're going. 635 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: If I came on the show and didn't tell I've 636 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 2: got three weeks of training left, you'd. 637 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 5: Say that, Cady. Just well, at that time, I didn't 638 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 5: know they had an extra three weeks of training. And secondly, 639 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 5: those officers right now being paid as constables, they have 640 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 5: a constable's badge, they have all the powers of a 641 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 5: constable right now, the Commissioner could even though they're doing 642 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 5: catch up training, he could send them to Casarina do 643 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 5: an operation. So they are they are fully sworn constables 644 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 5: right now. They haven't gone to their posting locations. 645 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: And do they have to have another like do they are? 646 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: They all graduated now with their certificates, the situation where 647 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: they got everything they need. 648 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 5: It's basically on the job training catch up they need 649 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 5: to do. He's decided to do it all at the 650 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 5: college and keep them there because they're all there right now. 651 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 5: But for example, those palis that got converted to constables 652 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 5: were actually working as constables at the V eights on 653 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 5: the on the two three weeks ago, even before they graduated, 654 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 5: so they are fully sworn officers. They could arrest you 655 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 5: and I right now. 656 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: How they were fully sworn they were still working V eights. 657 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 5: I got photos of them. Started the chiefness. I think 658 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 5: you guys bumped into them as well, like they're fully 659 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 5: sworn officers. I think it is a bit ingenuous to 660 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 5: argue this amountings in the three weeks. I get the point. 661 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 5: At the time I didn't know, but in saying that me, 662 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 5: the Chief Minister the NTPA and the leader of the 663 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 5: opposition were all the graduation. 664 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Nathan Finn was very open and honest 665 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: about that, and it. 666 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 2: Said exactly that, and the commissioner made so it was 667 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 2: thirty three of them that weren't actually finished their training. 668 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 5: And as I spoke to the commissioner and I went 669 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 5: back and triple checked after I heard your segment, he goes, no, 670 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 5: I can de pour them right now anywhere, Like they're 671 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 5: doing cash up training and every year for example, what's. 672 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: The use of the training if they can get out 673 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: there on the beat. Now, why they're doing it this? 674 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 5: Well, arguably, I'm sure if they wanted to, they could 675 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 5: take the liability. 676 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 7: But they've got the cogislation they've got to learn in 677 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 7: some parts. 678 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, look, I don't. 679 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 2: Have an issue with them doing training, nor do I 680 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: have an issue with them being out and obviously going 681 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 2: you know the fact that they had to go to 682 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: Alice Springs to help out and do that extra curfew, 683 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 2: do the extra curfew stuff, and that being the setback 684 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: for their training. But I mean the question here is 685 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: was it a situation really where the government a few 686 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: weeks out from election seven weeks out from an election 687 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 2: for you as the police minister, trying to make it 688 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: seem as though there's more police out there faster than. 689 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: What they really are. 690 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 5: Well, no, we're paying for them as consortable. So I mean, 691 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 5: I arguably, if you'd ask me the police numbers right now, 692 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 5: I'd tell you that we're at that number, including them now. 693 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 5: If they're not fully trained, well, they're fully sworn officers. 694 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 5: Cadie Like, we can go back and forth on this, 695 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, an example would 696 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 5: be every year they have to go and recertify where 697 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 5: every companies have to rectify on their firearm. Until they 698 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 5: do that recertification, does that mean that they're not fully 699 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 5: sworn officers for the period of time they're waiting Like 700 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 5: it's a. 701 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: Different because they've already done all their training. 702 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 5: Tomorrow the commissioner could deploy them to curfew as an example, 703 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 5: and may be fully sworp wo our fully sworn officers 704 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 5: and they just go off. I mean at the time, 705 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 5: I didn't know they had two or three more weeks 706 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 5: worth of training to catch up on because the curfew 707 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 5: they graduate on Friday. We're paying them as constable as 708 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 5: we could deploy them tomorrow. 709 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: Well, look, I'm certainly not the judge, jury and executive 710 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: of everything. 711 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: I'll let listeners make up their own what they think. 712 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 6: But also if you add to that too, that there's 713 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 6: been a bit of smoke and mirrors about the attrition 714 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 6: rate as well, and Nathan Finn came out and talked 715 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 6: about how you know, he disputed the figures that the 716 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 6: minister right here, sitting here was talking about. So I 717 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 6: don't know, like it just seems to be adding up. 718 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 6: There's a lot of words, like I keep saying, a 719 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 6: lot of information out there that just seems to be 720 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 6: to try and you know, say what territorians want to 721 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 6: hear instead of. 722 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: What the truth actually is. 723 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 5: Can I answer that? So I actually just think you 724 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 5: don't have to ask though you can't. 725 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 3: Well, I just sure, Tony. 726 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 5: Anyhow, So what Nathan Finn came out in the NTPA 727 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 5: is they went March to March. No one measures attrition 728 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 5: based on March to March. It is financial years, so 729 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 5: it is a financial do your and your report on 730 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 5: at the time I made the declaration of thirty first 731 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 5: to March in estimates which I'm accountable to the House 732 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 5: on I was very clear on that. I made it 733 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 5: on the parliamentary record. Six point one four percent, a 734 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 5: fantastic attrition rate from the start of July last year 735 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 5: to thirty one March. He's gone and fudge the numbers 736 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 5: and use March to March. So he's used a twelve 737 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 5: month period outside the reporting period because the March numbers 738 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 5: from twenty twenty three were used in last financial years 739 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 5: report say. 740 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 2: Police numbers have been something that has been a point 741 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 2: of contention right from when Michael Gunner was in opposition, 742 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: right and right from when the promise was made of 743 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty additional police which ever, whoever. 744 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 4: Made us, Yes, Terry Mills time, there was a promise 745 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 4: of one hundred and twenty. I don't know why this 746 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 4: magical hundred and twenty comes from, but. 747 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 5: I can tell you where it came from. No. 748 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 7: One hundred and twenty and fifty. 749 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: We don't we need more than two hundred. 750 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 5: Listen, there's a bit of an understanding of what happened. Yes, 751 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 5: Terry Mills committed to one hundred and twenty extra police officers, 752 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 5: didn't They said that there was There was a letter 753 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 5: from the NTPA in that term of government saying how 754 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 5: disappointed they were they didn't get it. We did get 755 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 5: that one twenty across the line nineteen. 756 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: It was where there was the point of contention though 757 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: again when you guys came in where yeah, where that's yes. 758 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: So there was different figures being used. And this is 759 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: the point that I'm making. 760 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: Even with the figures that you're talking about now and 761 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 2: what Nathan Finn's talking about, I don't think anybody is 762 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: ever going to be you know fully well fully sort 763 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 2: of in absolute agreement on those police I tell you, 764 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 2: the only time when people won't care about those police 765 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: numbers is when they feel as though there's enough police 766 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: on the street. And that is fundamentally what it comes 767 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 2: down to, right. We want to make sure that if 768 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: you call through to the call center, you're able to 769 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: get somebody out, and that's what people care about. But look, 770 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: I do want to ask why we are sort of 771 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: still on this topic of crime and how we're dealing 772 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 2: with crime. We know that last Friday was the sentencing 773 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: of Keith Kiranoa, the man who murdered twenty year old 774 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: bottle shop worker Declan Lavity, was sentenced to a life 775 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: in prison with a non parole period of twenty years. 776 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 2: There has been some discussion about mandatory sentencing following on 777 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: from that sentencing, but we also know that there was 778 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 2: a lot more detail I think you'd have to say, 779 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: provided in those sentencing submissions. So Crown Prosecutor Marty Aust 780 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: describing Kiranoa as a very dangerous, violent young man, pointing 781 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 2: to a number of prior examples of his offending, including 782 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: in the hours before he killed mister Lavity. We know 783 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 2: that Kiiranoah's lawyer, John Tippett Casey argued that his client 784 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: should not receive any more than the mandatory minimum twenty 785 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,959 Speaker 2: year non parole period. 786 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: But you know, seeing some of that further offending and. 787 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: Taking into account the discussions that we've had at different 788 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: times about whether you know, whether our bail works the 789 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 2: way in which we are dealing with offenders, and I 790 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: guess stepping away from this situation to some degree, but 791 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 2: talking about, you know, talking about breaches of bail and 792 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: talking about whether our bail is strong enough, I mean, what. 793 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: Did you make of that? 794 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 2: Of the sentencing and when you then sort of heard 795 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 2: some of those sentencing remarks and you look at the 796 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 2: way in which we're currently dealing with the issues of crime. 797 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 4: Well, he was found guilty of murder by the jury, 798 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 4: and under current empty laws, that's a minimum twenty year sentence. 799 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 4: They called it a life sentence without parole, but it 800 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 4: could be extended depending on circumstances. I don't know how 801 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 4: the sensing works in a court system, and I think 802 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 4: the question that people have asked you in putting the 803 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 4: family is how was that kind of person on bail 804 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 4: in the first place, given he'd previously attacked I think 805 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 4: young people, and that night he had been on a 806 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 4: spree with his mates, attacking or robbing or thieving or 807 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 4: whatever he was doing. 808 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 7: So I think that's the question. 809 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 4: I mean, clearly, what was done was done, and he's 810 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 4: going to spend I suspect rest of his life in jail. 811 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 4: But it's how he got to be on bail in 812 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 4: the first place, which enabled him then to do what 813 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 4: he didn did. 814 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: And I suppose the you know, look, I want to 815 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: be careful what we say and the way in which 816 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: this has dealt with, but I guess the way I 817 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 2: looked at this is I looked at this and I thought, 818 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 2: you know, somehow we've actually failed both of these young men. 819 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 2: That's you know, that was sort of the take that 820 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 2: I took from it, where I thought, you know, it's 821 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 2: not this is an absolutely tragic situation. 822 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: However you look at it. There has been a loss 823 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: of life, and Declan should never have been killed while 824 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: he was in his workplace. That should never ever have happened. 825 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 2: But then I sort of took a step back and 826 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 2: thought to myself, should we have been in a situation 827 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 2: where the other young bloke was ever able to kind of. 828 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 7: To you know, he was of legal age. I think 829 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 7: he was to get alcohol and you drive, you know, But. 830 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 2: I suppose the question is did the system let him 831 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: down before it reached that point. 832 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry maclare, I'd say no, you know, like 833 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 4: it's he did what he did and he's going to 834 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 4: suffer the consequences. You know, he is a was a 835 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 4: grown man, he was an adult, and you can't tell 836 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 4: me he didn't know what he was doing. I'm tired 837 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 4: of people making excuses for people who commit horrendous crimes. 838 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 4: You know that somehow something was wrong in his life. 839 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 2: And look, I'm not saying that, I'm more saying if 840 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 2: he wasn't already if he was, if he was not 841 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 2: on bail, could we have prevented our death? 842 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 3: Katie. 843 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 6: This this has been played out very publicly, of course, 844 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 6: But besides the actual case, bail has been something that 845 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 6: you know, the Corp has been fighting for for for years, 846 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 6: you know, previous oppositions plus this one, and you know, 847 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 6: we've brought forward changes to the Bail Act for serious 848 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 6: bilet offenders, no matter what kind of weapon they've got. 849 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 3: We you know, Labor removed breach of bailer's an offense. 850 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 6: Now one could argue that if if breach of bar 851 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 6: was an offense, maybe there would be more an offense. 852 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 6: There would be more that you know that that particular 853 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 6: offender wouldn't be at that bottle shop on that night. 854 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 3: I don't know. 855 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 6: I can't enter into you know how that was all unfolding, 856 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 6: But it just goes to show that we we need 857 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 6: to be working on things that stop people from committing 858 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 6: really violent of offenses. We need to be making sure 859 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 6: that you know our laws, which is set by the Parliament. 860 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 6: I mean, we can go into Parliament at any stage 861 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 6: and create a law, have it debated and then passed 862 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 6: really quickly. I mean we've seen them past real quickly before. 863 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 6: Labor will keep talking about generational change, but they're actually 864 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 6: not dealing with any of these root clauses. And I 865 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 6: just think that because they don't want to have this conversation. 866 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 6: They they keep talking and talking and talking. But at 867 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 6: the end of the day, if those laws were strengthened, 868 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 6: then we would have less crime on our streets. 869 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 5: So I will absolutely have this conversation you just said. 870 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 5: We don't absolutely want to have it because what you 871 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 5: just said there is factually incorrect. You said breach of 872 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 5: bail has been removed as offense, and this just shows 873 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 5: that they don't want to be genuine mid Territorians. It 874 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 5: has for youth, but not for adults. This kid or 875 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 5: that he was a teenage at nineteen, he is an 876 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 5: adult in the eyes of the court. Breach of bail 877 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 5: is absolutely a criminal offense for an adult who goes 878 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 5: and breaches their bail. So let's make that really clear 879 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 5: for Territorians. For youth, we removed it because they were 880 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 5: actually not getting before the court for the original offending 881 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 5: that they needed to be therefore, but they were getting 882 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 5: put before the court for breaches. So that's the context 883 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 5: now we have mandatory sentencing for murder, and he's got 884 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 5: mandatory sentenced. He's got a minimum of twenty twenty years. 885 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 5: If the judge wanted to give him a longer sentence, 886 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 5: he's entitled to do so. It is the minimum. So 887 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 5: I think he got exactly what he deserved. I think 888 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 5: it's a tragic outcome for the family, for Declan for 889 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 5: every territory and that's gone through this. We deliberately tried 890 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 5: to not make comment on this what was going through 891 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 5: the court because we wanted to see him get the 892 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 5: absolute maximum that he could and listen, at the end 893 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 5: of the day, I wouldn't tell the judge had a 894 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 5: sentence in this issue. He's giving him a minimum twenty years. 895 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 5: This kid's life is wrecked as well. But what we 896 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 5: want to see over the next twenty years while he 897 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 5: is in prison is him bettering himself so that if 898 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 5: he does, at some point in the future after twenty years, 899 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 5: become eligible for parole, which just for those that are listening, 900 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 5: is managed by a parole board, has nothing to do 901 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 5: with government. It's independently assessed by the chair that he's 902 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 5: in a better position to do. So. 903 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 2: Look, we're going to take a really quick break. You 904 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 2: are listening to Mix one O four nine's three sixty. 905 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 2: It is the week that was well, we are speeding 906 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 2: through the hour. It is just eleven minutes away from 907 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 2: ten o'clock. I do want to speak about the fact 908 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 2: that we know the first leader's debate apparently happened a 909 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 2: little earlier in the week. Cam Smith from the News 910 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 2: was there to cover it. He's written a story for 911 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: the paper today. So evil Aula had said that nearly 912 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 2: eleven billion dollars had gone out the door to assist industry. 913 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 2: So talking about, you know, the vision to build the 914 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 2: Northern Territory, she said the government's achievements included a billion 915 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 2: dollars in new remote housing, extracting four billion dollars from 916 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 2: the Commonwealth for additional remote housing, the CDU City Campus 917 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 2: see Alis Springs and Darwen Indigenous art galleries, the Darwin CBD, 918 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 2: progressing Middle arm and developing the ship lift. Leofanocchiaro said 919 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 2: that she had held well that Labor had held government 920 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 2: for nineteen of the past twenty three years, including the 921 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,439 Speaker 2: last eight in a row, and she said, well, there's 922 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 2: a lot of talk around infrastructure and biggest budgets and 923 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 2: shiplifts and all these things. There's been very little by 924 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 2: way of delivery. And she said, if Defense wasn't here 925 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 2: in the territory, many of you would be wondering what 926 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 2: it is exactly that they're working on. So look, no 927 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 2: doubt it would have been an interesting discussion. It always 928 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 2: is when you've got the leaders in. There's what we're 929 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 2: starting to see though, is the battle lines being drawn, 930 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,720 Speaker 2: things shaping up as we head to an election. 931 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 4: I'm amused and amused how Labour's just being a plan 932 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 4: old copycat ah with. 933 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: The housing announcement ideas and. 934 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 4: The lights of someone the lights at friend's pass, which 935 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 4: is good, but let's not let's not forget rugby union 936 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 4: that needs lights as. 937 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 2: Well, and also a couple of the fields and not 938 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 2: a few actual ground craft. 939 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 4: And then the housing thing. I mean COLP promised fifty 940 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 4: and then Labour's now promising sixty thousand. There is a difference, 941 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 4: well ten thousand, No, no, no, there is a difference 942 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 4: as in who's eligible. Oh well that might means the 943 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 4: concept the foundation is there, they did it need So 944 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 4: I'm just trying to think what other announcements have you 945 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 4: got coming not tell any but I think it. 946 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 5: Is a point of difference. Like we all agree, both 947 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 5: major parties, and I even think the Greens and others 948 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 5: would agree with this. We need to build more houses. Now. 949 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 5: Where we disagree from the COLP is we don't want 950 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 5: to be we don't want We know that Medicare is 951 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 5: worth a significant amount of money for territorians and for 952 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 5: the territory economy, so you need to be a territory 953 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 5: to access that. So our you know program that we're 954 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,919 Speaker 5: from the home build a boost does go to sixty 955 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 5: thousand dollars, but you have to be a territorian and 956 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 5: we our position is territory to stay. 957 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: People from other places to move here. 958 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 5: Market. 959 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 6: Let me clarify. In our scheme, you have to live 960 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 6: in that house that you have built for twelve months. 961 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 6: So that's not investors across the seaboard. That are people 962 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 6: living here in the territory for twelve months. And we 963 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 6: know that if people bed down routes, they buy a house, 964 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 6: they make it into business, they will send their kids 965 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 6: to school. 966 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 3: If they stay here for that twelve. 967 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,439 Speaker 6: Months, they're more likely to stay much much longer, which 968 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 6: is what we need, we want, we need new territorians 969 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 6: and are nice gradual growth into the future. So can 970 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 6: I stop telling territory question investors? It's not the case question. 971 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 6: You can explain it new territorians. What define how you 972 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 6: mean live in the place for twelve months? Do they 973 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 6: for example, for example, just have to have their address 974 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 6: and live in there for twelve months, because that's what 975 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 6: investors do, and they've done it around the programs around 976 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 6: the country. They change their address, they get their mail 977 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 6: delivered there, but they're not actually living in it. What 978 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 6: we're saying is you have to be a territory, which 979 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 6: means we get the Medicare rebate that comes back into 980 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 6: the territory and it ultimately stops the investors coming in 981 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 6: and inflating the market. 982 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 5: Exactly tell people what a territory is. I don't think. 983 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: After guess my question is. 984 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 2: The way that I look at this is if we 985 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 2: are trying to get nurses, we're trying to get teachers, 986 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 2: if we're. 987 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: Trying to get people to move to the Northern. 988 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 2: Territory after you've worked here for a year, or if 989 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 2: you've if you've moved here and you think, do you 990 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 2: know what I love this place? I'd love to buy 991 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 2: my first home or I'd love to build my first time. 992 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: What should you be yes. 993 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 5: So at that point you talk about they would have 994 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 5: had to under the legislation anyway, updated their driver's license, 995 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 5: change it, all those pieces. So you're saying no, no, 996 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 5: you're saying they just have to purchase it and live 997 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,439 Speaker 5: in it for twelve months. That isn't that they haven't 998 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 5: been here already. So we each we it is true, 999 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 5: and we've been very clear. As we've been very clear 1000 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 5: on this, you have to be a territory and you 1001 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 5: have to live here. 1002 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: You're not just peas out done is on this one. 1003 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: And as you're trying to pick holes, you're trying to 1004 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: play catch up. 1005 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 5: It's actually at the end of the day. 1006 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1007 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: But the thing is, though, then you've got to ask yourself, well. 1008 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 2: What exactly you guys, what are you planning on doing 1009 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 2: then to try to get people to move to the 1010 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 2: Northern Territory to fill some of those different jobs. If 1011 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 2: they're not able to, you know, like, if they're not 1012 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 2: actually able to take advantage of some of these schemes, can. 1013 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 7: I give you an example. 1014 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 4: Part of the problem is we need to build out 1015 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 4: and grow our resource industries, so we have our own 1016 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 4: source revenue. 1017 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 3: That's part of the issue. 1018 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 4: But the other part of the problem is the bureaucracy 1019 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 4: here currently with some of the governags is just horrendous. 1020 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 4: I am a young woman staying at my place at 1021 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 4: the moment, and she's a midwife and she's applied for 1022 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 4: a job with me Watch to go and work at 1023 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 4: Norlan Boy for I think one or two months. The 1024 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 4: paperwork that she's had to go through, including Department of 1025 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 4: Health proving proving that, showing this, showing that, and then 1026 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 4: it got delayed and then this got said it's only 1027 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 4: for two month con and she's a very qualified midwife 1028 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 4: and bloody Victoria. So getting through the paperwork is a 1029 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 4: bureaucracy thing, you know, it doesn't matter what it is. 1030 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,800 Speaker 4: The bureaucracy that some of these government departments, including including education, 1031 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 4: including health, yep, they are making it so difficult and 1032 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 4: that's where strong leadership needs to come into play from 1033 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 4: the ministers to direct the departments to get their shit together, 1034 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 4: to get these people such that they can get jobs. 1035 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: In the tech here. 1036 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 5: That one out to the individual that you talk about there. 1037 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, when you talk 1038 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 5: about attracting people to come the territory. I don't want 1039 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 5: to steal the thunder of the Chief. There's more to 1040 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,800 Speaker 5: be done. But in terms of actual jobs, that's what 1041 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 5: you need, a job for someone to come. And we 1042 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 5: know that the territory is a place where people can come, 1043 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 5: can jump two or three positions in their career and 1044 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,320 Speaker 5: profession and arguably a lot of them will stay, some 1045 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 5: will go home. But for those that do come here 1046 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 5: to take that sort of leap into the territory, we 1047 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,760 Speaker 5: want to build the build the economy. That's the major project. 1048 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 5: We see that with the Santos project coming on next 1049 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 5: year at about a two point five percent incre to 1050 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 5: our growth state product and seven percent a year after 1051 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 5: Bedeloo's coming on we saw ten more and list on 1052 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 5: the stock exchange. Recently, we do see defense pumping in 1053 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 5: about five percent increase to growth in the growth state 1054 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 5: product over the next until the end of the decade. 1055 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 5: We see our a few resources looking to you know, 1056 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 5: hopefully we see FID later this year from them. I 1057 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 5: think there is enough incentive for people to come in 1058 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 5: territory because the jobs are coming. 1059 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: My stock is there. 1060 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 6: How do we have had this problem about housing for 1061 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 6: a long time, right, there's been nowhere for people to 1062 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,800 Speaker 6: live like I mean the rental market as an example 1063 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 6: is crazy people applying left front and center. 1064 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 3: And not being able to get into somewhere. 1065 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,439 Speaker 6: If the government was serious about Territorians building their first 1066 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,800 Speaker 6: first home, then they would have listened to industry and 1067 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 6: territorians years ago and had a first home own owner 1068 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 6: and build a scheme. Now they got rid of it 1069 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,959 Speaker 6: that hasn't been here forever. Now seven weeks out from election, 1070 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,879 Speaker 6: they run out of ideas, they copy the COLP. They're 1071 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,800 Speaker 6: now telling lies about whether you're a Territorian or not, 1072 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 6: saying that you know you're not for us. Another point 1073 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 6: I want to make is that you had a listener 1074 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 6: yes today Katie text in and ask about downsizing, you know, if. 1075 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 2: You're whether you can downsize or what incentives there off 1076 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 2: for people to downside size exactly. 1077 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 6: And this is where this this existing homeowners scheme we've 1078 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 6: got the homegrown we're calling it, which where if you're 1079 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 6: already a territorial with an existing property, so you've you've 1080 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 6: been a first time I owner before you can get 1081 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 6: thirty thousand dollars to be able to build and move 1082 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 6: into for at least twelve months a new home, which 1083 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 6: of course allows you to move from a bigger house 1084 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 6: wherever that may be, into something a bit smaller, and 1085 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 6: it includes units as well. So I think you know 1086 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 6: this is a huge game changing plan that the cel 1087 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 6: Pece putting forward labor have run out of ideas. They've 1088 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 6: showed up to eight years that they they weren't going 1089 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 6: to do it, and all of a sudden they tell 1090 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 6: us it was a brain fight when we announced it 1091 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 6: during budget, and now they're saying, oh, yep, me too. 1092 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: It's going to have to be fus really good. 1093 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 5: See, the brain fight is about how much it costs. 1094 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 3: We got our cost brand.
