1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, we spoke to the member for Catherine,

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Joe Hersey, who told us that a senior teacher had

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: been held at knife point and had his car stolen

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: after you's broke into his house over the Easter break. Now,

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Joe went on to say that he was left traumatized

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: from that incident and quit his job and is planning

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: to leave the community. That teacher joins me on the

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: line right now. Good morning to you.

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie.

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: Now can you talk me through what happened over the

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: Easter weekend.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was around one am on the Easter Friday.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: We were sleeping and my friends dot com over for

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: this year, having a dinner before then, and they were

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: sleeping in none of the room and two males, unluckily,

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: they entered our residence. They had broken the loss and

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: they had got in and all the lights were on

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 2: and they were just looking after something in the in

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: the living area and suddenly my friend noticed something some

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: noise and also the lights were on, so he walked

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: out of the room and he just, uh, there's a

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: there are two doors, so he just walked out of

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: the door and so there was a male standing and

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: when he said cave rose, and the male just put

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: the knife on his boat and asked for the cor keys.

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: And obviously my friend was in shock. He didn't know

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: what to do. And there the offender. He took him

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: to the toilet, locked him in the toilet, and the

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: offender with a knife, went to the room where my

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: friend's wife was sleeping and threatened to kill her and

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: asked for the cor keys. And because we had two cars,

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: so obviously they were looking for another car coaky as well.

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: So my friend's wife was in shock and she was

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: frantically screaming that there was an emergency. And Kenny Freeze

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: opened the door and I was sleeping. When I got up,

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: I see a six foot tall mail with a cap

37
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: and a mask on his face. Obviously I can see

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: his face. And he puts a knife on my back

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: and asked me to hand in the cockys. And obviously,

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: because I'd just woken up in panic and shock and

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: disbelief and petrified, and I looked for the cockies. And

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: it took a while, and he pokes the tip of

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: my teep of the knife on my tricip where I

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: had a bruise, and yeah, I give him the hand

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: in corkeys. Uh. And the next thing he tells me

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: is to leave the room, and which I did, and

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: he looks, he like looks for some cash in my wallet,

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: and I took my apple walls and there was a

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: pair of Prescipson sunglasses which got broken, and we were

50
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: in shop. We just ran out of the house and

51
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: the next thing I see is the both of the

52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: cars have been reversed and it's gone.

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that is that is odd a night

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: me situation.

55
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: Yep.

56
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: So I've obviously stolen a number of things. I mean,

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: how are you and your friends going at this point?

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, like, how are you all feeling after what's unfolded.

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: I've got a PTSD. I haven't been able to sleep

60
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: at night. And the only like I only came to

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: sorry Catherine yesterday. I left the town on the very

62
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: next day, and yeah, I'm in shock. I'm just here

63
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: so that I could see the police this morning and

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: do some investigation and assess the damage of my car.

65
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just been crazy. And we tried to

66
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: call the police on the night. Yeah, it took us

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: a while to get to the police. We'll try to

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: call them three times, and on the third ten they

69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: came on the side. But those offenders they came back

70
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: with the car in front of our residence, so we

71
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: were in shop. Maybe they would stop the car and

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: come back and try to assault us to something. That's

73
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: what our thought was. We tried to desperately reach out

74
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: to police, and on the third attempt they attended our

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: apprentises and they took the victims statement and the Flora

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: Chick and everybody there came and did the job. But

77
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: while they were there taking the victim's segment, one of

78
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: the offenders he dropped my friend's car and ran off.

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: But after a while they came back with potentially of

80
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: a stolen motorbike and my car and they were honking

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: at the police, teasing them. And yeah, it was just

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: just like a my mind count processed what was going

83
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: on on that night.

84
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. So those offenders were not worried at

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: all about the police being there. In fact, they were

86
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: taunting them. By the sounds of it.

87
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Oh might.

88
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: Now we're obviously not identifying you are know, Catherine is

89
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: a small town, and you know, I'm conscious I don't

90
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: want you to feel unsafe in any way. You had

91
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: said that you attempted to call the police three times,

92
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: and then they did. You were able to get them

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: on the third occasion, I mean, were they able to

94
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: get out there quite quickly. What was the response from

95
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: the police.

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 2: Well, the first two times they said they had multiple

97
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: jobs to attend, and yeah, on the third attempt, when

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: one of the offenders came back to drop off the vehicle,

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: he was trying to park and near our property, so

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: we thought maybe he would stop the car and maybe

101
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: he had a weapon, because obviously he did, and he

102
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: was coming back trying to threaten us. So my friends

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: and I were at the balcony watching all that happening,

104
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: and we were despraded, calling the police, can you police

105
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: come and protect us? And they said, like they had

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: on the justice attempt, But yeah, it took a while,

107
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: like I think about an hour after the third attempt

108
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: for the police to come inside. And even when the

109
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: police was there and they were taking the victim's statement,

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: like I said, they came back with potentially a stolen

111
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: motorbike and my car and they were to the police

112
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: and when I told the police, if they're able to

113
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: test them up and recover my car, but they told me,

114
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: like the last prevent them from doing the height switches

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: because the US are obviously driving the car and if

116
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: they get i don't know killed or and then like here,

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: there'll be charges.

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: Press yes, sir, it was just it is just insane,

119
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: like I said it like it's the stuff that nightmares

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: are made of. I mean, to have somebody inside your home,

121
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: to have a knife being held to you, woken from

122
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: your sleep, your friends, they're staying at your place. I mean,

123
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: you said you immediately left Catherine the following day. I

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: know you've had to go back there to speak with

125
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: the police and assess the damage. But but have you

126
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: are you now? Is that it for you? You are

127
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: not moving back to Catherine, not at all.

128
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: I'm here just to see and assess the damage. And

129
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: I've also spoken to hersy like because Joorsey said, if

130
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: I can get some photos from the of the car,

131
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: I'd be able to, I don't know, reach out to

132
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 2: the community if they can chip in some money into support,

133
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: because obviously I've resigned from the job. I'm traumatized. It

134
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: was I don't know icons even process what is going on,

135
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: even after seven days, nearly seven days from the incident

136
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: and I've lost my job. I was supporting my family overseas.

137
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: They were planning to join me in June, and we

138
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: all really had both the tickets and and I have

139
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: slipped in all my belongings from Darwins just a month ago,

140
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 2: so I've got like heaps of stuff that I can't

141
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: obviously I don't have a car, but even then, like

142
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: I need a removed list to take all of my belongings,

143
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: so everything was here. I was in shock. And the

144
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: next day I asked my neighbor if they could change

145
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: the locks because the car kids had my house kids

146
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: as well, so the actually the house keys to the

147
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: next day I managed to change the lots thanks to

148
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: my Neva was very generous and very next day, my

149
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: friends and I we we fled Captain. So basically, yeah,

150
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: so that that was that was really shocking. And I

151
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: really don't think, like I don't think this is this

152
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: is Australia that I knew what I've been calling Australia home,

153
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: like as an Australian citizen for the last decade or so,

154
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: and yeah, this is a horrific I can't imagine. I

155
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: was just thinking, you know, like how like people living

156
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: in water and countries, like somebody walks into your home,

157
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: the enemy with a with a gun and points the

158
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: barrel of the gun on your head and tells them

159
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: to leave the leave the town or something that. That

160
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: is just the feeling I'm feeling as moderns. So that's

161
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: the stead Oh my, look.

162
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: I am I'm a heart broken for you. I mean

163
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: the fact that you've gone through that, the absolute fear

164
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: that you must have felt, and how you continue to feel.

165
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: Are you going to stay in the Northern Territory? Are

166
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: you going to stay in Darwin? What are you going

167
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: to do?

168
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is something I'll have to decide in

169
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: the next few days. But hopefully I might be able

170
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: to recover my car. I've just been to the police

171
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: and there is an extensive damage at the front and

172
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: they have changed the rear tires. Yeah, they've done a

173
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: lot of damning in my car. And hopefully I'm able

174
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: to recover a car and go to Darlin and take

175
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: all my belongings. And I don't know. I stared my friends.

176
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: I don't know where I'm going to say, and yes,

177
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: see what I can do for the next couple of

178
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: months and what my plan is to leave the territory

179
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: in the next year whenever I have like all these

180
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: plans simply.

181
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: And from what from what I am told, your vehicle

182
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: was then used to ram ride other businesses as well,

183
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: wasn't it.

184
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely Yep, that's what the police told me when I

185
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: spoke to them earlier this morning.

186
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Oh, this is unbelievable. Now just tell me very quickly

187
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: before I let you go. Have you been to access

188
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: support from victims of crime?

189
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 2: No? Actually, a couple of months ago when I was overseas,

190
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: my car was vandalized at my residence and I had

191
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: access the support from them. So what they told me

192
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: is they can't help me in this situation, even though

193
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: this is like extremely serious situation I'm in where I've

194
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: lost my job and my car that was worth fifteen

195
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: thousand dollars was vandalized and everything that's going on at

196
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 2: the moment, they said they can only support once per calendar,

197
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: you know, which is very strange.

198
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Wow. Oh mate, I'm so sorry for what you've gone through.

199
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: And from what I'm also told, you're you've been an

200
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: instrumental person in terms of establishing the Nepalese community in

201
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Catherine as well. I mean, what impact does a crime

202
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: like this have then on what I would imagine is

203
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: a very tight knit and caring community.

204
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah. I was the secretary of the Netflix Community

205
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: in Catherine. I was very instrumental in setting up and

206
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: registering our community with the Northern Churchy government and last

207
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 2: year we organized one of the biggest festivals where I

208
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: was ki because I was very active and also playing

209
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 2: music and I was really into that. And still I'm

210
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: in the advisory committee. But the community is in SoC

211
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: and horror, like they're petrified, and everybody has been calling

212
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: me and consoling me on what has happened, and a

213
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: lot of Netflix Community members there are deciding to live

214
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: to leave the town, so which is obviously like I

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: can imagine, like from the point of view, they are

216
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: in absolute stock at the moment.

217
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Oh my, I'm honestly on behalf of every territory and

218
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for what has happened to you. I

219
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: know that everybody is so fed up with the crime

220
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: and what's going on, but I cannot even begin to

221
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: jen how you and your friends must feel after what

222
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: had gone on, to be woken from your sleep and

223
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: have a knife held to you, to then have your

224
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: vehicles stolen and to no longer feel safe to live somewhere,

225
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: or it is so upsetting to me that this kind

226
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: of thing is continuing to happen in the Northern Territory.

227
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: And I'm honestly like, I'm so sorry to hear that

228
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: that has happened to you.

229
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, yeah, even I am in like absolute stock

230
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: and I've got PDSD. And the last night when I

231
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: was in this residence, that thought was recurring, and yeah,

232
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: I couldn't sleeve last night. I haven't been able to

233
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: sleep for the last since that incident, but yesterday was

234
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: it was really hard for me to come into the

235
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: residence and like saying, incidents coming into my mind, and yeah,

236
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: the youth crime has has gone out of control, and yeah,

237
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: and the increase in youth crime and also increasing the

238
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: minimum age of criminal responsibility in the Northern Tributary from

239
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: ten years to twelve years. I don't remember whether it's

240
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: playing the path in the number of crimes and good

241
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: crimes we can see considering what is having in aled

242
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: screams and yeah, so I think in Catherine, like, yeah,

243
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: just become very unsaved, and yeah, the next couple of

244
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: days I'll be leaving the town and it is really

245
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: sad because I was really popular at my school as well,

246
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: and the students and the school community and the parents,

247
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: they will be divastated to hear the needs that I've

248
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: just had it to leave the town.

249
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: Oh mate, I thank you very much for talking to

250
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: me this morning. I know it's not easy to relive

251
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: what's going on, and you know such an emotional and

252
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: difficult time for you. So I really appreciate you speaking

253
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: to us this morning because I actually think it's really

254
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: important that these stories are shared, that people know that

255
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: there is a victim. To every pressure release that comes out,

256
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: there is a victim. And the impact that these senseless,

257
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: senseless crimes have on everyday territorians is horrendous and it

258
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: needs to stop.

259
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, So this just stops. So well, my question

260
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: is how many more assaults and how many more breakings

261
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: and how many such incidents have to be repeated so

262
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: that I think territories they feel safe to live in

263
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: their home on home. If you can't feel safe in

264
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: your home on home, then where can you be safe?

265
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,359
Speaker 1: That's my question, that is and that is a bloody

266
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: good question. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

267
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you speaking with me.

268
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me, Katie, thank you
