1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Now, as we know, over the weekend the city of

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Darwin held the site, had the Cyclone memorial at the

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Darwin Ski Club or a remembrance event at the Ski

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Club and hundreds attendant. There was also a group there

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: to respectfully protest the kinetic sculpture. But the Lord may

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Conbat Scarlus joins me on the line right now. Good

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: morning to you, Corn.

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: Good morning Kit. Unfortunately I was not able to to

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: the Seer commemoration. I'm restricted at home by doctors order,

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: which I really regret it because from what I said

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: from the media and what I see from the television,

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: it was a very successful Eventent Corn, When is.

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: The when's the sculpture going to be able to be

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: viewed sort of by everybody?

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: When's that area going to open up?

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: The area is cont to finish being a construction site

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: at the middle of January, so everybody will be able

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: to actually walk into the to the sculpture and Kevin

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: look at it. At the moment where restricted, I can't

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: even go there without if I was able to go

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: there without induction everything, because there are strict rules in

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: the construction site.

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, was there a bit like is there a

24
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: delay what's going on, because presumably if it's a kinetic

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: sculpture for the commemoration of Cyclone Tracy, it would have

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: been you know, like the whole area would have been

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: ready for the actual date, which is Christmas Day.

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: Well wait till you see it, because the whole area

29
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: is now going to be reconstructed to re modified, is

30
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: going to be a very beautiful place for people to go.

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: It takes time. I mean one of the days we

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: missed this probably today. You've seen the storm came through

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: this morning. Even next to me, there's a construction side

34
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: that actually stays idle because people are not working. That

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: we confined availability of workers and material. But we're progressing

36
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: really well. It's going to be open in the middle

37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: of January, all right.

38
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: Con I want to ask you about the issue of

39
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: the caretaker's residents in parap. You and I have spoken

40
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: about this before. We also had a resident speak with

41
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: us on a yesterday who again raised concerns, despite counselor

42
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Ed Smelt saying on social media that it's not his

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: intention for that house to be used as a safe

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: injecting house or half white house. He was hoping it

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: might be able to be used for mums and bubs

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: meetings or other community users. Residents are still not happy.

47
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: They want it sold. Con what are the options now

48
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to this key Tiger's house in.

49
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: Prorap As, there was a motion put to counsul the

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: motion succeeded. We have to wait for the expersion viaders

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: to be finalized. Certainly, Kate, my gens is not to

52
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: be any house for injection or anything else that could

53
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: would create problems to the neighborhood. My prefer option is

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: to actually sell it. I believe we share the same

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: opinion with a number of other councilors. Or we will

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: have a look at the expersion viders, what will come

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: up with and then we'll move accordingly. To be really

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: frankly and probably my friend Ed would not like it

59
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: for us to actually go to expresion venderors means that

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: we have to do a lot of work in this

61
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: building if it goes for to be rended to an

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: organization and a council. The reason for that the best

63
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: option is to go out sell it and finish with it.

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: We have the same situation in Karrama. We went out

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: for expression of winders with a property for the council.

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: It's eight months down the road and we haven't done

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: anything yet because the proponent is here typically obtaining funding,

68
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: so we won't to avoid a similar situation. Yeah, there

69
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: are some things you keep them forever. I have no

70
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: problem with that one council property to stay with council.

71
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: But if strategically this can be solved and the money

72
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: put aside for a future community development, that with the bestiness.

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Coln. Let's move along because I know

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: we're both pressed for time. The City of Darwin is

75
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: set to announce the winners of the annual Lord Mayrill

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,440

Speaker 1: Key, he joins us very often on this show. Con

85
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Crooxy is a lovely bloke. I'm so very very pleased

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: to hear this and.

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: We've got a nineteen year old entrepreneur and advocate for

88
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: access and inclusion employment. It's Tristan Tall, nineteen years old

89
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: and he was awarded the Rising Start Awards. One thing

90
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: I have to say, Kate, I'm so proud to live

91
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: in a community that has members like Richard and Tristan.

92
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: They're not doing it for themselves. They're doing for everybody else,

93
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: and in particularly with people with disabilities. And I have

94
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: to say I'm related to them now. Due to restriction

95
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: moving around, I'm trying to find out any disabled parking

96
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: so I can park my car if possible. And as

97
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: people tell me now, you will find out the difficulties

98
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: that people with disability become very aware of it.

99
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, and.

100
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's a good opportunity even you know,

101
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: for you and the sense that you will say how

102
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: difficult it is, I guess for some of those people

103
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: that live with those disabilities, you know, for their whole

104
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: lives as well.

105
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,600
