1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Three sixty with Katie Wolf. 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: Join the conversation with Katie Wolf. You are our eyes 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: and ears in the Territory Mixed one oh four point nine. Well, 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: we know that there's plenty of people who are out 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 2: at the Howard Springs facility at the moment as a 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: result of the hot spot that was declared well last 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: week around Victoria. We also know that in Victoria today 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 2: was reported a little bit earlier five new cases. So 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: at this stage they are keeping a very close eye 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: on whether those cases are linked to the existing outbreaks. 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: But it does bring the total number of locally acquired 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: coronavirus cases across Victoria to forty six. But what it's 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: also meant is that here in the Northern Territory, well, 14 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: there has been a number of Territorians who've been forced 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: into quarantine out at Howard Springs. One of those people 16 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: joins me on the line right now. Good morning, Pete, 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: good bring cat. How are you not too bad mate? 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: How are you going out there at Howard Springs. 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: Look, we're coping pretty well. I've just had a couple 20 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: of boxes of high can zero delivered from Idea to Totally, 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: so me and the other inmates in my block and 22 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: nursing a non alcohol year as we speak. 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: Oh, there you go, so you're allowed to have the 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: non alcoholic version. That's okay. 25 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a bit like the Betty Ford Clinn exp 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: is just a bit cheaper. 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: Oh goodness me, how lo how's your experience been? How 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 2: are things when you were first? I guess coming through 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: at the airport. 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: Look, it was a bit of a debarkle at the airport, 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: to be honest. Our flight arrived at about half out 32 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: midnight and we didn't get into how to bringuntil about 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: four am. It's about two and a half hours at 34 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: the airport without water. There were some young mothers there 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: from oversized baggage, and when we asked for water, considering 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: we all could be COVID with, we were all told 37 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: to use the same water bubbler, which I found pretty 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: astonicent that. Yeah, after about three and a half hours 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: we were here, I've processed pretty quickly, and since THENDAL, 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: I've been pretty good. I think I think that we've 41 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: got it pretty easy up here compared to some of 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: the other hotel quarantine programs around the country. 43 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're spot on. I mean my assumption is that 44 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: it's possibly a little bit more comfortable. At least you've 45 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: got a bit of an outdoor, like you've got a 46 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: little balcony and stuff out there, don't you. 47 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: We do indeed, so you know most of us spend 48 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: pretty much all our time outside. It's not really like 49 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: solitary confinement, which I think you would probably be one 50 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: of the hardest things about the Hotel Clarentine program. 51 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And how things going like food wise, you know, 52 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: I understand that there was a video on the socials 53 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: of you warming up your croissants that was cold. 54 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're not allowed. There's no heating, microwave posters 55 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: or anything in the room. So and of course souls 56 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: came around really cold. So I had the idea to 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: throw one in the tumble dryer, give it a few 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: minutes and have worked like a tree. It was. And 59 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: we've just got croissants again this morning. So I'm saving 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: micraft of the call and I'm going to have a 61 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: nice warmth from morning tea. 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: Oh good on you. I love your innovation, mate. 63 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: Well, you know you're going to work with what you've got. 64 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: So many other things we're doing out here, the neighbors 65 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: and I start a little bit of workout group. Yeah, 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: people's occupied. I think we've got pilate's today from one 67 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: of the other in making my song yep. So yeah, 68 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: trying to pat the time and make the most of it. Really. 69 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: Oh good on you. And have you seen the Chief 70 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: Health officers out there as well? Do you hegy? 71 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: I did hear that you He was in here and 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: I don't think he was on my flight, But I'm 73 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: teping my fingers stusted that the numbers go down in Melbourne, 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: you might be able to pull a few strings and 75 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: we'll be able to get out early. 76 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: I reckon everybody's probably thinking the same thing. And in 77 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: all seriousness, you know how he sort of how's everybody 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: feeling out there mentally? You know, I know that we 79 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: spoke to a dad on Friday whose wife's out There 80 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: were two very little kids. It must be tough for 81 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: some people out there. 82 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: Look, I'm sure it is the families that are separated. 83 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: I had to high caul it back to Melbourne as 84 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: soon as the lockdown happened, which cuts short my weekend 85 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: with my kids down there. So you know, I can 86 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: understand the emotional strain that some others are going through. 87 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: But to be honest, the people that are around me 88 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: and our dollars, you know, we're all keeping each other 89 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: entertained and telling lots of jokes. We're saving all our 90 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: water bottles and oranges. So hopefully we're going to have 91 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: a game of been bowling this afternoon, you know.
