1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Yesterday you heard some fairly explosive claims made by Daniel.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: Kelly, the secretary of Territory Alliance.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: He dropped well pretty some fairly high profile names, the

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: likes of Terry Mills obviously, and also my next guest,

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Dealia Laurie, who joins me in the studio right now.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: Good morning Delia, Good morning Katie.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: Now Delia. Obviously, I guess a lot of people sort.

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Of questioned when you joined Territory Alliance to help with

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: the campaign, why you'd done that. You and Terry seem

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: like you're on totally opposite sides of the spectrum when

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: it comes to politics. But you did, you joined them

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: and obviously wanted to help out and help them with

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: the campaign.

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: How did it all go from your perspective? Yeah, Look, I.

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 4: Didn't join the party because I wasn't really interested in

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 4: party politics. What I am interested in will always be

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 4: interested in, is how do we help our territory. You know,

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 4: such a complex place to live, help so many huge challenges.

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 4: And with years experience in parliament, with political campaigns, with

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 4: a passion for policy, a media background, I'm a campaigner.

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: I know how to run political campaigns and being political

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: campaigns and what.

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: It all entails.

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 4: And here's this brand new party and I'm being approached

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 4: by people who are friends. It wasn't Terry who approached

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 4: me initially to say, hey, come and work for us.

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: Can you do the stakeholder engagement? Can you work on

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: policy coordination? And I was like, You've got to be joking.

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 3: Work with Terry Mills, you know. Really anyway, it's.

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: A journey in life, you know, keep an open mind,

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 4: you have conversations. I was good mates with Jeff Collins. Still,

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: I got on really well with Robin Lamley, Like she

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: and I had been political opponents, but when we both

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: ended up being Independence together hanging out in the Independent

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: shoe box, I caught it in Parliament because there's a

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: small room. We got to know each other as people

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: and got on really well and became friends and aid friends.

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: So for me, it was about could I work with

39
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: Robin Jeff Well, I absolutely knew I could, genuinely lovely people.

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: I really admire both of them. So it was about

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: kuld Terry and I work together, you know. So we

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: had a few catch ups and you know, I put

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: a few different things on the table that had been

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 4: said and done over the years, and I you know,

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: in the end, I said.

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: Listen, Terry, you were doing your job and I was

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: doing my job.

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 4: But what I found is that when we were at

49
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: functions together, social community events everywhere.

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 3: We were always decent to each other.

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: You know. I used to have really nice chats with

52
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: his wife, Rise, and I just found them as decent people.

53
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: Not necessarily at all on the political page that I

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: was on. Okay, but that's life diversity, and I respect diversity.

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: So I was like, as long as I don't have

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: to join the party, I don't want to be involved

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 4: in party politics. Let me just get on with the

58
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 4: stakeholder engagement, running the machinery of the campaign side of

59
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: things to help people in their seeds and coordinating policies.

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: So that's why I got on board.

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: And Dearlire, I guess you know, it seemed from an

62
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: outsider's perspective that things started to sort of maybe crack

63
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: a little bit within the party on that decision on fracking. Now,

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's right or not, but that

65
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: was from my perspective where it seemed as though things

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: started to fall apart a little bit.

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: Was that the case, Yeah, look, I think fracking was

68
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: such a difficult topic for Terry. You know, he was like,

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: I sort of look at his journey like the territory's journey.

70
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: When fracking first appeared on the radar years ago, no

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: one thought any ill of it, like, Okay, what's wrong

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: with it? Gas extraction, let's go for it. And then

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: all more as people started to look into it, started

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: to understand the US experience, the Queensland experience, and the

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: effects and the contamination of water and land and air,

76
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: people started to change their views. So I look at

77
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 4: Terry's journey on fracking similar actually to a lot of people,

78
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: because then you go from going on, it's all good

79
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: to oh, geez, hang on. The more I find out

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: about it, the more questions are raised about it, and

81
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: then the Pepper reports. So when I came on board

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: in a policy coordination sense, I said, you got to

83
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: know I am massively anti fracking, and I'll be working

84
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: out policy in that regard. You get to decide what

85
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: your policy is, but you got to know that's the

86
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: direction I'll be taking the research.

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: Are you up for that? The answer I got was yes.

88
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: So Daniel Kelly said to us yesterday on the show

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: that that wasn't the case, that the party was obviously

90
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: all for the fracking band, but that Terry wasn't necessarily

91
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: sold on the anti fracking stance.

92
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: Is that your perspective?

93
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 4: Look, Actually, it was diverse because a group of people

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: will have diverse views. So, you know, Daniel never expressed

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: anything directly to me because he just didn't like to

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: talk to me full stop. And on the old occasion

97
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: he talked to me, it was like hostile and aggressive.

98
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: So I was really happy to say, stay away from

99
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: the guy as much as possible. But other people who

100
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 4: are really all the other candidates, you know, really engaging,

101
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: wanting conversations by far and away. The majority of them

102
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: were like, please, can we have some solid band tracking policy?

103
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: What research are you doing? You know, what's your team doing?

104
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: And I was like, yeah, we're doing a lot of

105
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: work on it. Terry was like, well, what if all

106
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 4: of Pepper's introduced his recommendations. You know, he was really

107
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: in that space, but he was willing to go on

108
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 4: and opening his mind journey, and in the end he

109
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: got to the point I thought within him where he

110
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 4: was like you know what, Yeah, he got a huge

111
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 4: backlash from the business community massive backlash, and I think

112
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: unless people are in the front seat going through in

113
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: real time, throughout the day, throughout the nights, you know

114
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: you are the focus as the leader, and you're copying it.

115
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: I don't think other people understand the extent of what

116
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 4: told that takes on a person. So my experience with

117
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: Terry was he had to get to a point where

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: sovereign risk was dealt with in the policy. That is,

119
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 4: don't expose the territory to litigation. So we had to

120
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 4: deal with sovereign risk. We dealt with that in the policy.

121
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 4: Once that was dealt with, Cherry got on board. But

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 4: the battering he copped personally from the business sector definitely, definitely,

123
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: I think affected the strength and vigor to which he

124
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 4: would argue the fracking ban, Whereas there are a lot

125
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: of other people not able to deal with that. Every

126
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 4: day you're like, yeah, of course we should be banning fracking.

127
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: So as a party, generally speaking, they are on the

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: band fracking page.

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: Now, Dearlia.

130
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: Then when you I mean, when you look at how

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: the party went obviously at the election, it underperformed in

132
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: terms of winning seats. Robin Lamley retained her seat obviously,

133
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: we know that Jeff and Terry didn't. Robin was the

134
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: only sitting member still then of Territory Alliance.

135
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: Earlier in the week.

136
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: I spoke to her on Wednesday about nine point thirty.

137
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: She was still sort of vulming a ring about whether

138
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: she was going to stay part of the party. By

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: eleven am, she had said she'd resigned. Daniel Kelly had

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: also issued a statement via media person Peter Butler saying

141
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: that you know they were expelling her from the party.

142
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: How do you think that the party is going to

143
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: be able to continue on after what's happened earlier in

144
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: the week.

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, you know, crazy behavior.

146
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: Seriously, anyone who understands politics understands the political parties are

147
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: desperate to have a member of parliament. You know, the

148
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: Greens would love a member of parliament up here. It's

149
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 4: an anchor, it's a focal point, it's a voice, it's

150
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: a strength. And here you have a party absolutely new fledgling,

151
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: struggled at the election big time, but secured a seat

152
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: with an experienced parliamentarian and then go and attack her. Now,

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: you know, I saw the comments from Daniel Kelly about

154
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: Robin being alone. Wolf I have to say that's out

155
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: a rubbish. I was involved in this campaign. I was

156
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: in the deputy campaign director role. I had to deal

157
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: with all the candidates except Daniel. You know, he didn't

158
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: like talking to me. Happy days not.

159
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: Do you think?

160
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: Oh look, before i'd met him, and I'd only just

161
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: come onto the campaign in the role, you know, I'd

162
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: had a pretty busy week setting up a lot of

163
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: the campaign basics, you know, email list structures, everything. It

164
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: was like pretty well ground zero. Anyway, I was having

165
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: a little bit of relaxation. On a Saturday afternoon, check

166
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: my Facebook. I saw this video and it was Pete

167
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: Butler doing a mock interview off a panel with Daniel Kelly.

168
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 4: And I'm like, Saturday, I don't want to watch this.

169
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: But then I was like, well I have to. I'm

170
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: in the campaign role, right, And they talked on a

171
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: couple of subjects he made. The third subject was Pete

172
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 4: interviewing Daniel, and the third one was well, what about

173
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: the debt, mate, the massive debt, you know, the gun

174
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: of debt la LA, And Daniel's like, well, yes, you know,

175
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 4: to deal with it, you're going to have to look

176
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: at cutting public services or increasing taxes, and then Pete goes, well, mate,

177
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 4: it's so bad, you'd have to do both.

178
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: So Daniel goes, yeah, mate, you're right, you'd have to

179
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: do both. Well, Katie.

180
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: In a campaign context, that's like designating an entire campaign.

181
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: It's ground zero, right in a.

182
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: COVID pandemic affected community and economy where people who had

183
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: jobs desperate to keep their jobs. Businesses had gone to

184
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: the wall, so no one could afford tax increases, no

185
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: one could afford job losses, and the economy certainly can't

186
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: afford job losses right now. So it was like the

187
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: worst thing to say. It wasn't their policy position. It

188
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: was these two guys randomly doing streams of consciousness. Yet

189
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: it was on a public domain, it was on Facebook.

190
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: So I got straight onto the blower and spent the

191
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: next twenty minutes getting that video pulled off Facebook.

192
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: And it was Terry in the end who got it

193
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: down for me.

194
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: And after that I got all this sort of feedback

195
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: about who was I, how dare I get that dune?

196
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 4: And you had every right to say whatever he wanted

197
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 4: to say stuff, and I was say no, because it

198
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 4: impacts on everyone.

199
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: Now, Dearlia, obviously earlier in the week.

200
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: Then he well, on the show yesterday he's sort of

201
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, he has he's really I guess you would

202
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: say laid the blame of the election losses on Terry

203
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: on you on one of the other campaigners, James Lantry,

204
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: and also said that Jeff and Robin are obviously no

205
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: longer members of the party.

206
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: I mean, what was your reaction when you heard that.

207
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think it's really sad.

208
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 4: I think he's just completely delusional about what you know,

209
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: what happens in a campaign and what voters decide on.

210
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: You know, they were voting at.

211
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: A time in a pandemic where they didn't want to

212
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 4: take a risk on an unknown and territory alliance was

213
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: still essentially unknown.

214
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: Terry was known, but.

215
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: Again, you know, it was a difficult environment for him.

216
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: He was a third pig in a two parts his system.

217
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: Do you guys take any blame for that campaign?

218
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 4: Everyone should look at what they do, how they do it,

219
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: Could they have done it better? All of that, everyone's

220
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: got to go could I have done it better?

221
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

222
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: But to say well, it's these people and it's their fault, Well,

223
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: actually no, that's wrong, Daniel, and wrong in fact and Terry.

224
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: Terry worked incredibly.

225
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 4: Hard to try and be all things to all people.

226
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 4: And Robin wasn't a lone wolf. She pulled together a

227
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 4: really strong team and Alice Springs and there are some

228
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: really beautiful.

229
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: Great candidates that came forward, lovely people.

230
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 4: Dearly.

231
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Have you spoken to Terry in you know, in recent days?

232
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Is he planning on starting with the party?

233
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 4: No? Look, I haven't spoke to doing in recent days.

234
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: And look, I feel for him. He got attacked on

235
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: a daily basis from Daniel and from Pete just having

236
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: a red hot crack at him on a daily basis.

237
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: So you're saying he had people within the party who

238
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: were attacking.

239
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: They just would go him on a daily base because

240
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: it had to be how they wanted it, you know,

241
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: their way.

242
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 3: But their way was like bizarre.

243
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 4: You know, let's all stand on the side of the

244
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 4: road and wave no guys, hit the doors, go door knocking,

245
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: direct vote to contact is what it takes.

246
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: And so I mean, what do you think the future

247
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: is going to be for this party? Do you? I mean,

248
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: do you think that Terry's going to stay in the party?

249
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: What are your reckons going to happen next?

250
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 4: Oh? Look, you know, I can't imagine with the way

251
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: he's being treated and attacked, and Terry's been so good

252
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 4: for so long in just sort of absorbing it and

253
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: taking it on and getting on with it. I can't

254
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 4: imagine then he'll keep on allowing you know, these characters

255
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 4: to just be toxic in his life essentially, I.

256
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Mean, dearly.

257
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: There will be some people listening this morning who are thinking, well, maybe,

258
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you're the delusional one, or maybe Terry's

259
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: the delusional one, because you guys, you know, I guess

260
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: some would say you're recycled politicians and sort of trying

261
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: to push this agenda of a new party and something

262
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: that's different, when in reality it's it's not. Yeah.

263
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: Look, I wasn't pushing an agenda of a new party.

264
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: I was in there to do stakeholder engagement, make sure

265
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: that the new party that was there established had some

266
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: sound policies based on evidence rather than some streams of consciousness.

267
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

268
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: That was my role, a pretty clear and simple, defined role,

269
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: working two instructions. I wasn't on the agenda of pursuing

270
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: a great grand vision of a third party. You know,

271
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: there are other parties and in the territory that I've

272
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: seen try to be established over the years and it

273
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: just doesn't happen. We're too smaller jurisdiction. The big parties

274
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 4: are too well established. So I figured, if they want

275
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: me on board to stand up some good policies which

276
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 4: will exist, which the other parties will have a look at.

277
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: There may be things in there that they go, oh yeah.

278
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: You know, the Aboriginal liaison officers were a central part

279
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 4: of some of the police policy that Territory Alliance had

280
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: and now we're seeing an emphasis on Aberiginal liaison officers

281
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 4: coming through into that police structure properly.

282
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 3: It's great, Delia.

283
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 2: We are going to have to wrap up. We've run

284
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: out of time. But what's next for you? Is that

285
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: politics done and dusted.

286
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 4: Oh look, I'm always going to be involved in politics.

287
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 4: I was born and raised in politics in the territory

288
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 4: and in Darwin In particularly.

289
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: I love it. I love the people who are prepared.

290
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: To stand up and you know, take take on huge challenges,

291
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: so I'll be supportive. I'm not a you know, it's

292
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: this way or the highway type of person. I'm really

293
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,479
Speaker 4: open to working with people across diverse fews.

294
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: Delia Laurie, good to talk with you this morning. Thanks

295
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: so much for your time.

296
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: Thanks Katie,
