1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: If you want to know what's happening on the local 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: political landscape, Kaye Wolf has it covered on three sixty. 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: Every one is listening Mixed one oh four point nine. 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: Now you may or may not be aware, but we've 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: actually got a new vice chancellor at Charles Darwin University 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: and I'm pleased to say that he joins me in 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: the studio right now. It is Charles Darwin University's new 8 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: vice chancellor, Scott Bowman AO. Good morning to you, scottsh 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: good morning. 10 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: It's fantastic to be Yeah, great. 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: To have you in the studio. And well, I believe 12 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: it's day eight on the job. 13 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 3: Yep, day eight, so looking forward to the day and 14 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 3: actually a day of low humidity which is fantastic. 15 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: Glorious weather we call this. And I know that you've 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: been living in regional Queensland for the last well several years, 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: so you'd be used to this type of weather. 18 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. Really, our home base is seeing Cans, so yeah, 19 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 3: the weather is similar. But I think this is a 20 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: bit like Can's weather on steroids. So it was lovely 21 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 3: over the weekend to get that breeze come through. 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now, Scott, tell us a little bit more about 23 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: where you have come from, and I guess you know, 24 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: give us an idea of where you see things going 25 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: here in the territory. 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 3: Oh well, I was Deputy Vice Chancellor International and Services 27 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 3: at James Cook University for about seven or eight years 28 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: and then moved on to be the Vice Chancellor and 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 3: President at Central queens And University and I was there 30 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: for about ten years and in that time we really 31 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 3: build it up to a national university, just about the 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: biggest regional university with campuses everywhere in Australia with the 33 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 3: exception of the Northern Territory. Interestingly, so it's fantastic to 34 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: come to Charles Darwin University. So I retired actually and 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: had other plans, but actually really missed the sector and 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: what it's like to be in a university and definitely 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: didn't want to go back to any old university. But 38 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: when the best university came up here, I am yeah. 39 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: Well, and it's great to have you here. I know 40 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: that there has been a real push in previous years 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: to really draw international students to Charles Darwin University. COVID 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: has had a big impact on that. Is that still 43 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: part of the plan though? 44 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: Oh look, I think international students are incredibly important, and 45 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: probably not for the obvious reason which I will come onto, 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: but really our students, our Australian students, Northern Territory students 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: are going to graduate and have global careers and to 48 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: be able to study with people around the world and 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: build up a network of contacts which they can use 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 3: in their careers is incredibly important. So it's a great 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 3: shame we're missing out on that at the moment. The 52 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 3: other one is having an international student in riches education, 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: just having lots of different perspectives on things. And of 54 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: course there is the revenue. Students bring in a lot 55 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: of money into Australian universities and this is really important 56 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: and for what we want to achieve as the universities now, 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: you know. 58 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: I guess with each vice chancellor we do see different 59 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: sort of different direction at the university. And I'm not 60 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: anticipating that things are going to change, you know, enormously immediately, 61 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: But what do you see as being sort of the 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: way forward for Charles Darwin University. 63 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: Look, I think a real feature of my career up 64 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: until this point has been around engagement and engagement with 65 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: communities and engagement with business. But internally, also engagement with 66 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: our staff and our students. And I think it's no 67 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: secret the university has gone through a pretty rough patch and. 68 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: Some rough years. 69 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 3: So really building up an exciting internal culture where we're 70 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: a fun place to work and a great place to 71 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: work and a great place to study, that's very much 72 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: at the top of the agenda. But really getting out 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 3: and engaging with the communities of the Northern Territory is 74 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: really important. 75 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: I know that quite all in the territory, and I'm 76 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: a parent of quite young kids, you know, ten and eight, 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: but quite often you see our young people here in 78 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: the territory move off to study somewhere else. Do you 79 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: think it would be a good thing to try and 80 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: keep as many of our territory kids here as possible. 81 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: Look, I don't think we should keep people where they 82 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: don't want to be. So people say we need a 83 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: big university to keep our young people here, and I 84 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: always say, well, you're probably better off put your money 85 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 3: into a prison. 86 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: So you know, that's not what we're about. 87 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: And if young people get to that age and want 88 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: to go off to the big city, good luck to them, 89 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: and we will do everything to switch kids on to 90 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 3: university study. And if that isn't with us, really that's 91 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: still a success for us. But what we've got to 92 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: do is give people of the territory a really viable 93 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 3: alternative because there's a lot of people that can't go 94 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: off to the big city. They can't leave the Northern 95 00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: territory for family reasons, social reasons, cultural reasons, lots of 96 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 3: reasons why people can't leave. So we've got to make 97 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: sure there's an alternative here which is absolutely of the 98 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: absolute top quality and the full range of subjects. And 99 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: if in doing that we attract some of those people 100 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: that were thinking are going south, fantastic. 101 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: I know you said that you have worked at James 102 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: Cook University here the Deputy Vice Chancellor. Let me get 103 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: that title correct. At James Cook University. I know at 104 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: JCU over the years that they've had a real focus 105 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: on some of the different sort of faculties or different areas, 106 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: and marine biology was one of those areas here at CDU. 107 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: Do you think that we need to sort of to 108 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: find a real area of expertise that we see other 109 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: people come from other parts of Australia and indeed all 110 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: around the world to study here in the territory. 111 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, it's interesting. 112 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: It's really an unknown gem in some ways Charles Darwin University, 113 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: because we already have some areas where we are absolutely 114 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: world and leading the rest of Australia. And in fact, 115 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: I was talking to the Vice Chancellor Sandra Hardin from 116 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: James Cook University over the weekend and we were saying 117 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: between us and if you put into the mixed Central 118 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: queens And University, incredible strengths between the three universities. But 119 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: you are quite right, we really need to leverage and 120 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: get the word out that we have got some incredibly 121 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 3: unique things in this region which the university is working in. 122 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 3: So you know, when you look at the environment that 123 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 3: we have here in the territory, when you get out 124 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 3: to Kakadoo, when you look to the south to the 125 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: desert regions, these are absolutely absolutely unique. James Cook University 126 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: has done incredibly well at attracting students into those unique areas, 127 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: so particularly American students into marine biology. But we can 128 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 3: offer something just as unique as James Cook University. 129 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: So do you reckon it's just about marketing ourselves a 130 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: bit differently. 131 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: Look, I think is one thing, but it's about that 132 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: truly deep engagement. So it's not really just about market slogans, 133 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: it's really talking about what's at your heart. And in fact, 134 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: that's something that I'm doing at the university at the moment, 135 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 3: looking what should our new strategic plan should be and 136 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: really I see that as the document of the heart. 137 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: What is our vision and mission and what are our values? 138 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: So I want to. 139 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: Engage across the board to really find that out and 140 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 3: then really leverage off that. 141 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: And how are you going to do that? 142 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: Well, definitely going out to all the stakeholders, So definitely 143 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: want to talk to our staff, our students, our alumni, 144 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: our counsel, our community, and really get to the heart 145 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: what is really important to this university and then really 146 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: drive the place as a values led organization. 147 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: Now, how do you see c DOU really moving forward 148 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: post because I know that that's had quite a big 149 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: impact not only on our university, but universities all around 150 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: the world. 151 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, look at the moment, we are faring pretty well. 152 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: Around sixteen percent of how students are international students. Other 153 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 3: universities are way up over the fifty percent, so they 154 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: are really hurting badly. Look, we are really sustainable without 155 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: those international students, but in fact, the international students haven't 156 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: gone away. Our recruitment is up this year interestingly enough, 157 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: but we are of course looking at how we can 158 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: support those students, both offshore and onshore. So yeah, look, 159 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 3: it is tough times, probably not as tough for us 160 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 3: as some universities, and definitely COVID has led to more 161 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: domestic students coming to universities, so we've seen an upswing 162 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: in our Australian students. 163 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: Now on those on the recruitment of those international students. 164 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: Is work underway to try to get some more of 165 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: those international students here on campus. 166 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 3: Well, look, we're looking at that, but we're not putting 167 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: out all our eggs into that one, Barksket. I mean 168 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 3: c dou did incredibly well getting that flight in and 169 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 3: I wasn't here at the time, but I think the 170 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: whole of the sector, the whole of Australian universities looked 171 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: at CEDU and very envious at what had been done. Now, 172 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: if we can do something like that into the future, 173 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 3: that will be great, but we're definitely not putting lots 174 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 3: of emphasis on that. I think international students will start 175 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: coming back. I don't think we're going to see them 176 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: this year. I'm thinking probably midyear next year, so we're 177 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 3: sort of gearing up for that. But we are looking 178 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 3: those students that do him roll us with us and 179 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 3: are based all around the world. We're looking at how 180 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 3: we can support them. 181 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: Okay, now, I know that late last week you were 182 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: at the site of the new City campus. How are 183 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: you feeling about that? 184 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: How incredible? I think we own the biggest hole that 185 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 3: Darwin's ever seen. 186 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: It did look pretty impressive, but it's. 187 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: A pretty impressive hole. 188 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: But what's important is what's going to grow out of 189 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: that hole, and it will be a fantastic state of 190 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 3: the campus. It will be a center where again I'm 191 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 3: going to come back to that word engagement, where we 192 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: can engage with the community, where we can sort of 193 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: bring businesses in, when we can bring in community groups, 194 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 3: indigenous groups, and really be part of the fabric of 195 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: the city. This is actually the way that lots of 196 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: universities are going actually coming into the city. If you 197 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: go back to the seventies, you built universes right on 198 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 3: the periphery. They were kind of ivory towers that were 199 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: apart from the population. We really want to be part 200 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: of the population and that city campus will allow us 201 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: to do that. 202 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: And has the design of that facility been finalized? Because 203 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: I know that last year some people were a little 204 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: bit worried about the way that it was looking, and 205 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: it was a little bit you know, some were concerned 206 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: that the design sort of didn't quite fit in to 207 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: the tropical lifestyle. Has that design been finalized? 208 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,359 Speaker 3: Look, I don't think it's been finally finally finally finalized. 209 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, still a way to go, but. 210 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 3: I think the comments that were made have been taken 211 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 3: on board. And I think, I know the some of 212 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: the artist's impressions which look like a greenhouse, which I 213 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: thought that might be a bit warm in there. I 214 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: don't think, you know, that is not going to be 215 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: the final design. So people are looking at the design. 216 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 3: It's very much looking to be a building that's suitable 217 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 3: for the tropics. I think it would be something that 218 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: we can all be really proud of. 219 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: Now, what is your ultimate goal upon taking on this 220 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: role really at Charles Daleen University. 221 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 3: Look, I want to build a university that the territory 222 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: can be really proud of. And I think at the moment, 223 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: you know, you know, I read the press and I 224 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: think there's a lot of people that are a bit 225 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 3: disparaging about the university, and as I said, we've been 226 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: through some tough years. I do really want to set 227 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 3: us back to a point where we can be really 228 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: proud of this university, and that means increasing our offerings. 229 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: We've particularly around vocational education. We have got to do 230 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: a lot more in that field. We've got a look 231 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: that we are offering all the courses that the territory needs. 232 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 3: We want to be a university which has real national 233 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: and international standing, so really promoting the university. Look, the 234 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: Northern Territory deserves an absolutely incredible, fantastic university. I think 235 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: it's got a good university now, but I think we 236 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: can really move to make in that one of Australia's 237 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 3: truly great universities. 238 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: Well, Charles Darwin University's new Vice Chancellor, Scott Bowman Io. 239 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: Great to have you in the studio this morning. Thanks 240 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: so much for the chat. 241 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, really great meeting with you. 242 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: Thank you
