1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You want to know what's happening on the political landscape.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: Katie Wolf Hasard covered on three point sixty Everyone is

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: listening Mix one O four point nine.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Joining me live on the line is the member for

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Bright Lane, Josh Bergline. Good morning to you, Josh.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: Good morning, Katie, Good morning your listeners.

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: Josh. How are things going in Alice Springs?

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, Katie, it's sort of a daily occurrence. I

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: guess I get into the office, so I have a

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: look at the messages that have been sent in, obviously,

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: check what's happening around town, and then generally head down

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: or business has been broken into. Recently, I've been down

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: to see the gentleman Thrifty here in town. It has

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: broken into fourteen windows smashed since Christmas, he was telling me,

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: So that's very disappointing. And also went into the Base

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: Cafe the other day for their first day since they

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: were broken into. That was on Channel nine news the

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: other night, and they still had half their restaurant closed

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: because it was still being repainted. So, yeah, the effects

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: of crime unfortunately being felt down here in our spring. Josh.

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Is the police minister meeting with you or other community

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: members as far as you know today while she's in Alice.

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: Look, we certainly haven't heard anything in regards to the

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: Police Minister. It's glad to see our continued pressure in

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: relation to crime has obviously brought the Police Minister down here.

26
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: But realistically Madison's coming down to do the job the

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: Chief Minister should have done two weeks ago, you know,

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: come down speak with victims of crime. Hopefully that's what

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: Minister Madison will be doing. And yeah, it's just you know,

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: it's a bit frustrating, but this is what we're dealing

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: with at the momently. Government that just seems to be

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: bearing the heads in the sand and not dealing with

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: the real issues.

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Overnight, the Chief Minister, Michael gunner or late yesterday put

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: a post up on social media about, you know, the

36
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: accident that it occurred on a poster between luxA and

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Tom Yum. Somebody accidentally putting Tom Yum on a poster

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: rather than luxA. He's being slammed on his social media page.

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Is tone deaf, you know, to you what does that demonstrate?

40
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: I think you've hit the nail on the head there, Katie.

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: It's just toned with everything that's happening around the Northern

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: Territory at the moment, people are genuinely feeling like they're

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: not being listened to, and then to sort of put

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: something out that you I don't know what he was

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: trying to achieve by the post, I guess try to

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: be funny, but yeah, unfortunately at the moment, people are

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: just feeling, you know, like they're being completely ignored and

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: a post like that just really then does go to

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: show that he's not addressing the real issues that we're

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: facing all across the territory.

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: You know.

52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: And we've got members up in Palmerstan. I've noticed there

53
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: have been businesses there that have been getting broken into,

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: you know, so this is being felt right across the

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: territory and obviously we're pushing very hard for those youth

56
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: fail laws to be changed. Obviously in Queensland we've seen

57
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: after some terrible incidents that have occurred over there, that

58
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: things are now starting to change. I think it's so important, Katie,

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: that we remember that last year we lost a person

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: here at Alice Springs and whether that was given the

61
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: attention it deserved or not is up. But you know,

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: we're hurting down here as well, and we just want

63
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: our government here in the Northern territory to take it

64
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: as seriously as what Queensland now seemed to be.

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: Josh, is that something that was discussed in the meeting

66
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: that you had with Chancey Paik, a labor minister earlier

67
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: in the week or late last week.

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: Look, there are a lot of things discussed. I think

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: the main thing again that we've sort of spoken about

70
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: is we really want to get a meeting with the

71
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: Chief Minister. I can reveal that the three members down

72
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: here we've sent another letter of the Chief Minister saying that, look,

73
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: we're going to be up for seedings over the next

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: two weeks up in Darwin. Are you willing to meet

75
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: with us. We're just we're really just trying. We're reaching

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: out because we want to get across what we're hearing

77
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: every day here in our springs, from victims of crime,

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: from people in the community that we are hurting and

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: things really need to change.

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Well, Josh Burgoyne, the Member for Braitling, I really appreciate

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: your time this morning.

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

83
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: Thanks mate. That's Josh Burgoyne, who is obviously the local

84
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: member there in Alice Springs,
