Now I'll 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: meet the candidates segment. It's something that we're trying to 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: do across all of the different electorates across the top end. 9 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: We did want Guri last week. This week, of course, 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: it's Daily. Duran, You've got about seven minutes to answer 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: a series of questions. Are you ready? 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: I sure, I. 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: Am, all right, let's get into it now. Why did 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: you decide to put your hand up to run for 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: the Seed of Daily? I note that you are obviously 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: the current sitting member, but why did you decide to 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: run and represent that electorate? 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? Look, I decided to running the seat of Daily 19 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: because you know, I leaped out in what air. For 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: four and a half years, I've had strong anections for 21 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: a lot of friends that lived in the rural area, 22 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: and you know, I just wanted to be an advocate 23 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: for people of the Daily electorate to ensure that you know, 24 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: we get our fair share of services into our electric 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: We see that in the city places like Darwin, Palmerston, 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: Alice Springs, even Catherine, they have all those services. So 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure that, you know, the issues 28 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: that relate to the people of the Daily are being 29 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: relayed back to the ministers and ensuring that I'll be 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: a strong voice for the people of Daily. And I 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: believe have done all I can to be a strong 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: voice for the people of Daily. There's obviously a lot 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: more to do, but you know, when I first got elected, 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: one thing that people raised with me consistently was having 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: access to their local member. So that's something I took 36 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: on board. You know, it is quite a large electric 37 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: as you relayed before. It's Boggot Beach, Dundee right down 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: to what air Daily River Pine Creek. So I've started 39 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: establishing mobile offices so people would have access to me 40 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: on a weekly basis. So that's just a matter of 41 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 2: just popping up the tent in the park letting people 42 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: know that you're going to be there, and that's been 43 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: really successful and I've been proud to be able to 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: set that up and advocate that their concerns on their 45 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: behalf back to the government. So yeah, it's it's been 46 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: a wonderful time the last three years and you hear 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: everything which has been really good. And I've been proud 48 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: to be open to people that have access to it 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: because our office does sit in Berry Springs, so it 50 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: is a long way for people to come to see 51 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: their local member. 52 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, like you've just touched on it is an 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: interesting seat. It does encompass both rural and remote areas. 54 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: How do you service or how do you plan to 55 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: service all of those areas. 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, again, just making sure that I'm available to everyone, 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: which I believe I've done. The issues are are quite 58 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: different from places of Woggart Beach, you know. That's for 59 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: Wogart Beach it was you know, things like roads and telecommentation, 60 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: but also the jetty as well, the Mandora Jetty. We 61 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: know how frustrating that process has been for the residents 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: of Boggart Beach and bell Ywan and and myself as 63 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: someone that lives in Mogart Beach, so I've been advocating 64 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: on their behalf of the community, but also the community 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: have also been strongly advocating for it as well. So 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: it's been a really keeam effort to be able to 67 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: do that. And then you know, obviously we have a 68 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: large population that live out Bush, so those issues you know, 69 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: from roads to access out on country, to job opportunities, 70 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: and even to things like you know, not having access 71 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: to swimming pools. So I've been able to advocate and 72 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: make sure that we have a swimming pool up and running, 73 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: which means the kids that you know, learning how to swim. 74 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: The health outcomes from that, from their skin and ears 75 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: talking to people at the clinic has improved dramatically since 76 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: that swimming pool has opened. So it's been something that 77 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: I've been really proud to be able to balance all 78 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 2: the issues across the election. And every community is different, 79 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: whether it's log Up Beach or Dundee Ferry Springs or 80 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: out to Data River or whatever. 81 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Now Dura nearly four minutes, in three minutes to go, 82 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I want to ask, how will you sort through the 83 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: issues in the likes of what where We've seen some 84 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: really bad issues with crime, some targeting homes and damaging 85 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: other infrastructure. 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I think one thing I haven't done is 87 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: I have never shied away from when those incidents have occurred. 88 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: As soon as they have. I've got in my car, 89 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 2: I've driven straight out there and I've confronted it head 90 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: on and I've been you know, talking to service providers, 91 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: talking to local families when those incidents has happen, and 92 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: getting the right support in place, whether that's you know, 93 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: more police out on the ground, talking true to our 94 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: police minister and the Police Commissioner, to getting you know 95 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: more things like I've been advocating the community Justice and 96 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 2: for example, where funded them to come out and actually 97 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: work with the families when there are districts sitting down 98 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: doing the mediation work. And that's been going on for 99 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: a bit of time in whatever for example now and 100 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: that's helped settle things a lot between the families. There's 101 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: actually a safe space for when issues do a rise 102 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: that people can talk about that. And then we've just 103 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: seen that work starting Daia River as well. So you know, 104 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: their short term fixes that we need to do, but 105 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: also longer term fixes like our local decision making agreements 106 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: and understanding what the priorities are for those to be 107 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: and we've been signing some of those agreements of the 108 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: last couple of years where we're seeing local jobs in 109 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: the communities, things like women's centers, ranging groups, established more 110 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 2: housing for people in the community. So that's something I've 111 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 2: been really proud to advocate for. And I've never shied 112 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: away when incidence has happened, and I've always shown. 113 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: Up the around. A quick one, which I think you've 114 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: already answered, do you live in the electorate? 115 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: I do? I live at wog Epeach. 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: Now another quick one, Well, this is I guess it's 117 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: not a quick one. Why do you think your best 118 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: place to try and combat all of the issues that 119 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: you have sort of just touched on. 120 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: Well, for me, I've lived out in what Air it is. 121 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 2: It is quite a complex community, but it's also a 122 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 2: beautiful community as well, and I do have a deep 123 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 2: understanding of those issues and I've always been there to 124 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: show up and work through those underlying issues. And it 125 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: would be a really shame to see that all unraveled 126 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 2: because it has an impact on everyone in the Northern Territory. 127 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: So for me, I've been working really really hard to 128 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: get local jobs in community, to get the community justice 129 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: out in what Are and Daily River and look at 130 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: those mediation works. But I've also supported a lot of 131 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: community groups, whether it's seeing your events whether it's a 132 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: gold Rush festival down in Pine Creek, whether it's fishing 133 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: competitions in Dundee Beach and supporting the fishing competitions there 134 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: on Magut Beach, but also just being able to advocate 135 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: and be available to people, you know, when they need 136 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: your support. And I believe I've been out doing that 137 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: hard work since i've been I've been very proud that we. 138 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: Have run out of time, but I am I'm just 139 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: going to keep the clock going because there's a couple 140 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: of really quick listener questions that I've got and I'm 141 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: going to do the same for Chris as well, so 142 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: I will just restart that clock. What is your stance 143 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: on a health clinic in Dundee. 144 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: Look, I've been working really hard to have a health 145 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: clink in Dundee. I think he would have remembered last year. Yep, 146 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: when they are if you're a medical center shut down, 147 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: A lot of people quite concerned about that because it 148 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 2: does encapsulate places people from Dundee Woggar Beach. So we've 149 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: been able to get the clinic back up and running. 150 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: I remember when Kylie came into our office and Nick 151 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: as well, and they were looking at first openings. I've 152 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: had many meetings with them. I've got the Federal Assistant 153 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: Minister to visit them, Melanderie McCarthy to visit them as well, 154 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: our local minister to visit and support, and they're looking 155 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: at doing those outreach services now to Dundee and Woggart Beach. 156 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: All right, that's something I've been very proud to advocate on. 157 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: Behalf very quickly. Your stance and this is something that 158 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: we're going to ask across the board. Your stance on 159 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: the voluntary assistant dying legislation and and the reintroduction of that. 160 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, it's a very good question and it will 161 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: go to a conscious vote. I need to go back 162 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 2: and look at what my constituents say to that because 163 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: I represent a large electorate with very different views. So 164 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: I'll be going back and looking through that very carefully 165 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: to ensure that I'm representing the views of people around 166 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: voluntary assistance of the people.
