1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Joining me on the line is the Lord Mayor of

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Darwin convat Scarlets.

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: Good morning Conn, Good morning Dabie Con.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you just heard them, but it

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: has apparently been, you know, been approved that Saint Vincent

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: de Paul are going to be moving from their Stuart

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: Park location to Coconut Grove only for a two year

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: period by the sounds of it, from what Brent Potter

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: had said, what do you make of that move?

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you that the people in Australian

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: Street were absolutely celebrating. I don't know about the people

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: in Concorant Grove and I have to tell you where

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: it's moving now. I used to live there when I

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 3: came to Darwin Firm. Now there was never any problem before,

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 3: but I don't know what's going to happen now.

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: I think Saint vinis you have to manage it very

17
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: very carefully. They have to talk to the local residents.

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: They have to make sure that the visitors behave themselves

19
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 3: because if they don't behave themselves then.

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: They have nobody else to blame but themselves.

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: Corn. You know, it's it's a really tough one right

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: because we all understand that these services need to be

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: in place and that they do a really good job,

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: but having them in sort of built up residential areas

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like the right moves.

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: Well, I know, it's very difficult. We have this problem

27
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: before with group housing. Every time we're propose to put

28
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: the group housing somewhere and nobody wanted. But at the

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: same time, the people that they had a child or

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: a person with disability that the wanted to put in

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: a group housing, we're all for it. There are the

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: divisions we've got in the community. Unfortunately we have to

33
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 3: have these divisions.

34
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: We live in an urban environment. We need the services.

35
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: If they have to go somewhere. What's important is the

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: operator of the service have to be very careful how

37
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: he delivers the service in a way that does not

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: disturb the enables con just.

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Moving along, We know that the government is looking at

40
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: moving to help dry communities develop alcohol management plans, with

41
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: the Alcohol Minister suggesting that social clubs in communities could

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: be the answer in a bid to stop people from

43
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: heading into.

44
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: Urban areas to access gron Do you think that.

45
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: It's going to help reduce some of the anti social

46
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: behavior that we've seen around Darwin.

47
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: Itself.

48
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: It's not going to work a puperc clear because they

49
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: are not all people live in the communites to come

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: here for alcohol.

51
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: They come for other reasons and they get stuck here.

52
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: What will help, Yes, allow communities to have alcohol, but

53
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: at the same time put the tough restrictions here for

54
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: people come from somewhere else trying to.

55
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Access heavy alcohol.

56
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: So they can have a significant quantity of heavy alcohol.

57
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: Curb secondary supply, use the BDR effectively, use only one

58
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: purchase a day and one way to do it, as

59
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: it suggested to me. But people work in the liquid

60
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: industry use only electronic transactions when you buy alcohol, so

61
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: you avoid the people that come with cash and they

62
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: buy quantities of alcohol, then they sell it for enormous

63
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: amount of money, like one hundred or two hundred dollars

64
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: a bottle of Bundy. It has to be a combination

65
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: of actions in order to care alcohol and sometimes which

66
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: not listen to the express of down South, which actually

67
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: find solutions to our own problems here. And a lot

68
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: of people say that an expert of so and so,

69
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: a university professor, so he lives in Sydney and Melbourne.

70
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: He does not live here. He does not know what

71
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: we have to put every day and at the same

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: time might look good in theory, but go and talk

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: to the communities, the impact of alcoholism in the communities

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: into domestic violence and everything else.

75
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: All the rules and otherise you report your old to

76
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 2: get your pH.

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 4: D con moving along.

78
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I've actually got a few listener questions and well, last

79
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: week we spoke to a perap resident who lives next

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: to the Family Learning Center who raised some safety concerns

81
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: about fencing around the facility.

82
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: This is what he had to say, take a listen.

83
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: In stake straight. We back on to the Family Learning Center,

84
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: so they here there. And for the last four years

85
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: we've been trying to get council, because of the council

86
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 5: run facility, to come to the party and pay their

87
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 5: part in replacing the fence to the complex. The senses

88
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 5: in that much disrepair that I'm really worried that the

89
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 5: kids can crawl under the fence now and they could

90
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 5: drown in one of our bars in our yard. Our

91
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 5: body corporate collected funds from all of us to pay

92
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 5: for outside of the tense, and the council will not

93
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 5: And the phone calls or emails from our body coll

94
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 5: to get this done.

95
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: Coin, what is going on here?

96
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: Are you aware of this issue and why is it

97
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: apparently taking so long for the council.

98
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: To act on this.

99
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: I'm not aware of this one. Thank you very much.

100
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: You're a listener who brought to my attention. I'll make

101
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: sure that this is actually what personally outcome. I have

102
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: a look at personal inspection myself. Hey, look at the

103
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: conditional defense, and then I'll discuss the issue with irresponsible

104
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: people in council to see how we can undress. The

105
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: issue is not about the fence. It's about the safety

106
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: of the children. And that's quite right there. Listener said,

107
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: one kid that crawls, other thing that runs of the road,

108
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: and something tragic can happen.

109
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for bringing to my attention. I

110
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: will follow it up well.

111
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: Coin, We'll make sure if you need any further details

112
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: let us know. We'll make sure that we pass all

113
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: of that on and we'll chase it up again and

114
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: find out what the action is next week.

115
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: Hey.

116
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: A couple of other ones coming to thanks though. One

117
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: here that says the Northern Territory set to manage the

118
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: city's three community pools, including Casuarina when it opens mid

119
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Will it continue to offer load the

120
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: swim programs and host national and inte competitions.

121
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: Of course it will. That's where building the community pools.

122
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: There will be training pools and competition pools.

123
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: But the one actually the real competition pool is the

124
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: parat pool that's built to the FINES standards and.

125
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: It will remain the competition pool.

126
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: The other pools will remain for training and other.

127
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: Purposes we want to do.

128
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: Look, not all the pools have to be up to

129
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: the Australian Swimming Federation standards. We've got one, it works

130
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: really well, it's used very well, utilized very well. So

131
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: the others can be left for the community.

132
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens so for those like a the

133
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: other clubs able to continue to sort of use them

134
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: and to the point of the loan to swim programs,

135
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: et cetera.

136
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: Yes, of course we have discussions with the community when

137
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: we actually start developing, because or in Apool we actually

138
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: so the feedback, We receive the feedback and we said

139
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 3: made sure that they all community, all daring clubs would

140
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 3: be able to use our smit.

141
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: Corn Another question this time from Steve O.

142
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: Katie, please ask the lord more about the main street

143

00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: Stuart Park where new grass was laid middle of the highway.

145
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: Street lights haven't worked for months and months. I've reported

146
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: it three times now and nothing's happened. Reckon, Steve O Steve.

147
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: You have to report to DIPPLE because that our section

148
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: is actually Northern Territory Government section. It's not the council section.

149
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: The council section starts after the Daily Bridge towards the

150
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: city from the Daily Bridge towards case Arena is a

151

Speaker 2: Conn.

153
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: We never like it when that's the case because you

154
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: always try to get things done for us.

155
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: I know, and we are going to talk to DIVIL

156
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,920

157
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 2: We work very close with deeply.

158
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: Would find a problem, we advise them, nights up to

159
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: them will react. I'd love to have the whole roads

160
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: under my jurisdiction because you can have one standards for

161
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,600
