1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Three sixty with Katie Wolf on Mixed one oh four

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: point nine thanks to Joyce Main Darwin. Well, it is

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: just thirteen minutes away from ten o'clock and crime has

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: been a hot topic on this show for years. You'd

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: have to argue it's really come back into the spotlight

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: in recent weeks, in recent months. But today in the

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: paper we've got one of the community leaders in Managrida

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: calling for change in this space and help. We've got

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: the mayor of Alice Springs, Damien Ryan. He's coming on

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: the show at about ten thirty. He's certainly called for

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: change in this space, as has Darwin's Lord Mayor Convat Scalas,

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: who joins me in the studio right now.

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: Good morning conn, Good morning Katie.

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you ask Kathina Pasco, the mayor of Parmeso,

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: she probably will tell you exactly the same story. There

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: is a problem. There's a serious problem, not only in Darwi,

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 3: it's another Springs in money Grida, in parmes and other

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: regional centers. I'm very pleased now that both parties simps

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: a week and do something from their side, but we

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: need action, and we need action quick.

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: Let me put it bluntly here.

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: I know, I hear this morning a lot of people

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: talking about the poor kids and we shouldn't do that,

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: and we shouldn't do this.

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something.

26
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: By doing nothing, you let these kids at risk because

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: they've got dysfunctional families who don't look after them, ten

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: year old children. In the stories of other springs, it

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 3: tells you something. It tells you that families do not care,

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: they don't take care. So leaving the kids where they are,

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: we're doing this service to these kids. We condemn these

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: kids to a life of misery, a life of crime,

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: and from these kids more other kids may come with

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 3: the same.

35
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Oh and look, Colin, you and I've spoken about this before.

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: There is no doubt that this issue is complex. There

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: is no doubt about that. But what we're talking about

38
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: now is, you know, some of these bail conditions. Obviously,

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: the government's put forward a number of changes, but they

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: have said that this legislation really can't go through parliament

41
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: until May. You've been in the parliament before. I mean,

42
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: is there an opportunity here or is there some way

43
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: that they're able to bring forward legislation urgently?

44
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: There is a possibility to bring a legislation and urgency,

45
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: and it's been done before when there was something to

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: be done very very quickly, and will be done in

47
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: the future again, you can introduce legislation one day and

48
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: in the next piament settings actually within a week or

49
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: two weeks we can actually pass it. There's not from

50
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: about it. And I'm pretty sure that come and look

51
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: at it and probably considered it. The other thing that really,

52
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: every time we don't want to do something, we say, oh,

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: the situation is complex, No it isn't. Families do not

54
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: look after the kids. Kids out at the streets. They're hungry,

55
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: they don't have any love, no way to sleep. They're

56
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: trying to fight companion, they form groups. They're trying to

57
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: find food. They will steal it because they don't have

58
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: it at home. They're trying to fight alcohol because they're alcoholic.

59
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: The circulation is not complex, it's simple. They break the

60
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: law for the simple reason because they have no family supervision,

61
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: no family support, nothing at all. Will peace fighting around

62
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: pretending that we care about these kids when we leave

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: these kids in a very difficult situation to go on

64
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: in the future breaking the law for the same prison

65
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: because they have nothing at all to look for the future.

66
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Con what do we need to do urgently here? I mean,

67
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: do we actually need to put our differences aside politically,

68
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: take a look at the legislation that the COLP is

69
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: putting forward and maybe.

70
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: A means that.

71
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Kay, the system we actually have in Australia currently

72
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: is the old Westminster system, which adversarial.

73
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: Very very rarely you'll see parties coming together.

74
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: The only thing I remember in that all these years

75
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: in politics is the level part of the Liberal Party

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: in Canberra coming together with COVID nineteen because I realized

77
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: what the big threat was the opposition support the government

78
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: in any measure that took it. I think we've got

79
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: a situation here where we should actually look what is

80
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: good from it's part of the legislation other party, adopt

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: it and introduce it, and introduce it quickly.

82
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I reckon we do. I reckon we need to, you know,

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: to make some changes very quickly because to me, you know,

84
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: May is not soon enough. We're talking about somewhere like

85
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: Alice Springs at the moment, just really fighting some very

86
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: serious issues. You know, you can send down extra police,

87
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: but we've heard all along you can't rest your of this.

88
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: Well, the politic will do their joy and arrest the

89
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: criminals put them to the court. But if there's not

90
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: a strong legislation to imprison the criminals or refuse bail,

91
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: then the bunch'strate. He has nothing else to do but

92
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: to apply the legislation against cat.

93
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: In front of you.

94
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, it doesn't matter

95
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: which government is in place, it's the government's decisions.

96
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: What let's says, will it aroduce.

97
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Con Let's move along because there's a bit to talk

98
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: about this morning. The Council has made the decision to

99
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: rename Bandilla Beach. So it was obviously Vestis, it's been renamed.

100
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: I actually think this is a good move.

101
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: Wrong.

102
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: Council did not make a decision the decisions the name

103
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: the Names Committee, which is a government authority. Council only

104
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: had to agree to it because the government as it

105
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: and we did agree with that one. Because Barandilla there's

106
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: more significance in that area than Versitis. Let's have a

107
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: look who was Lord Versts. Lord Versus was a cattle

108
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: barroom lived in England. The only thing he did for

109
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: the territory in the early nineteen ten twenties. But the

110
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: Abbott was will very quickly close down and the next

111
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: time he's remembered is with the Wave Hills Station Land

112
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: Rights Act when he refused to actually pay proper wages

113
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: to the indigenous people they're working there, and it was

114
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: only the Whitlam gvernment that took it away and gave

115
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: it to Vincent Leigiari.

116
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: Also, Vestis was never properly registered.

117
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: There was a name that was given by the locals,

118
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 3: so it was never a real name. So when the

119
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: Name Committee came to us as look, we have to

120
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: give a name to that area, and we believe after

121
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: we did the research, Bandilla.

122
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: With the best name.

123
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: We ask why Bandilla because got strong Larakia links with

124
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: the families that they still exist here and their Larakia family.

125
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: So I had no problem at all to rename something

126
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 3: that got some relationship with the territory, do something that

127
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 3: actually relates to England. Give you an example, there's called

128
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: now to rename the last highway to Severin.

129
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: Highway. Severin was a Territorian who run many.

130
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: Cattle stations here in the territory in center of Australia

131
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: and contribute a lot to the growth of the territory

132
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: and the growth of the country industry, and I will

133
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: fully support it as an next Minister of Prime Industry.

134
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: Severine should be the name to be instead of last Highway.

135
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Okay, so I reckon there's a few challenges that could

136
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: come into place when it comes to those renaming.

137
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think we should actually honor territorians name things

138
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: after territorians rather than some scure cattle barons in England

139
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 3: combat scarlets.

140
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: I would love to talk more, but we have run

141
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: out of time this morning. We will catch you again,

142
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: maybe again this week or next Tuesday. List you will

143
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: indeed good on your corn. Thank you,
