1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Joining me in the studio right now. The Lord Mayor

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: of Darwin convat Scarlets, good morning to yukonn.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: Good morning, and I see you're very preoccupied with Alice

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Springs like everybody else, not only the territory but all

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: around the nation. Because I think the problem with youth

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: is not unique in the territory. So the news yesterday

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: in Queensland there was helicopter chase three youth went rabant

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: and then the police took about half a day to

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: corner the mariusdom.

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. It is a huge issue right across

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: the board. And I think even that posting and posting

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: that we've spoken about are the changes legislatively that the

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: New South Wales government are implementing so that if people

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: are sort of filming their crime and sharing it, they're

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: going to get additional you know, additional punishment. There's no

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: doubt it is. It is an issue right across the board.

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: But what we saw in Alice Springs last week was

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: just absolutely out of control.

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: And I hate to say that one because I'm not

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: a Trump supporter or pro Trump, but the governor of

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: Florida passing the legislation to ban people under sixteen, heaving

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: access to TikTok and Facebook.

23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: It might be a good.

24
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Idea because at the moment all the social media run

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: wild and no responsibility, nothing at all. A newspaper who'd

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: done that would be up for all sorts of British

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: or legislation in Australia. Social media not different. They are

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: just like newspapers. And I give you an example. We

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: discussion the other day about the easter bunny hunt, and

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: I pointed out to you that we didn't have it

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: because it was not organized but verytail association. Anyway, it

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: was too early. Social media went wild because I canceled

33
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: East and even told me that we should change Arista

34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: to make it with and of course the use of

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: suspects go back. He came from corn, so you know

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: it's there were all these people that they locked their profile.

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: Well, do you know what?

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: There was a lot There was actually a lot of

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: stuff on anyway indoors. I was a casualata on the

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: weekend there was a big easter, a hunting side I'm sure,

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: with stuff at other longs everywhere.

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: The waterfront was casuring everywhere then and to their credit,

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: the retail association CEO email i said to mid Look,

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: I just started the work. It was too many things.

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it. We work with the with the

46
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: waterfront to do it. Fantastic work together, that's what we

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 2: wanted to work together. We can achieve things.

48
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: I did notice and correct me if I'm wrong. I

49
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: did notice it. I didn't have to pay for parking

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: in the city on the weekend.

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: Well each public holidays and you know, good, good for it.

52
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: And I said the year before all the social media,

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: what does give a voice to the people and the crips?

54
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: Somebody told me I want to avoid there. That's why

55
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: I lock my my my profile. Yeah, but you're not

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: afraid to actually make these parable combats in your under

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: your name.

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: Well, look, you know there's a there's a place for

59
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: social media. But I would everybody treat people how you

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: would in face to face situations, even on social media.

61
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: But con let's move along.

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: Reports of that croc starting it, like Alexander, what are

63
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: they end up paying?

64
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: Do we know?

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Look, it was.

66
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 2: Not true, but somebody thought was a s a crock

67
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: And I think it's a very good idea. If you

68
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: think you see a croc to report just in case.

69
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: I just found out today that actually there was a

70
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: crock attack on a dog in rapid yes, so that

71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: it must be moving around. I found it difficult to

72
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: see a crocodile getting into Lake Alexander because of the difficulty.

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: Have to cross the road. I wouldn't have to go.

74
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Climb from the creek in the back. But again, if

75
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: you see it, please report it. The last thing you

76
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: need is a child to be attacked or somebody else

77
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: to be attacked. But we investigated barks and Wilav helped

78
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: out there was nothing on we opened.

79
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: The lake color. I want to ask you there's a

80
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: listener question that's come through. It's about about dangerous dogs,

81
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: and it said, Hi, Katie, I'd like to ask if

82
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: you could ask combat Scullus why the council is not

83
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: doing anything about a dangerous dog. Dave declared it it's

84
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: dangerous that came into my yard while I was at

85
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: work and killed my chickens. The rangers were given video

86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: evidence which they say isn't clear enough. But people took

87
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the video and gave a written stuff and still and

88
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: still they won't.

89
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: Do anything about the dangerous dog.

90
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: The rangers allowed the man to register the dog even

91
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: after the incident. Why is it the councils not taking

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: the dog away? Look, we get questions quite a bit

93
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: about dangerous dogs. Now, I understand that it would be

94
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: a difficult one for council to sort of manage. But

95
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: if you have got video evidence of a dog killing

96
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: chickens next door or wherever it may be, shouldn't they

97
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: be able to take action.

98
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the evidence. I I don't know the information.

99
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: I don't know what the events took pleasure where. But

100
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: let me tell you, when we've got issues about Dej's dog,

101
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: we act in it. Well, not only us, but we

102
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: have formed now in agreement with Litchfield and Palmston that

103
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: the reads a dog that declared in one of the

104
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: of these municipalities cannot be registered in a municipality. So

105
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: if the listener has details, please email me. I'll be

106
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: very happy to follow it up. And if you've got

107
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: the evidence, I'd be very happy to follow it up.

108
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: I said you, I only hear from you, I don't

109
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: hear the evidence.

110
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, of course, see if we can get that

111
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: detail followed up. Yeah, we'll see if we can get

112
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: that detail and pass it on to con Also, I

113
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: know that the that the Council have announced that local

Speaker 2: their areas. Fifty dollars available for innovative sustainable local projects,

122
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: for example installing the solar panels, to do something that

123
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: actually will help the environment.

124
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: We would like to hear from you.

125
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: We're into it all together, guys. The environment is not

126
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: going to affect the ones would believe on it and

127
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: the others we don't believe on. It's going to affect

128
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: every single person in our city, in our country planet.

129
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: And talking about landscaping and trees. As of today, Kavanah

130
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: Street is either going makeup from Nike Street all the

131
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: way to Cec Street. Sorry, if you're going to face

132
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: any delays while you're traveling there. We're going to actually

133
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: rip some of the old foot paths and everything else.

134
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: And the medium strips and completely redo it so it

135
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: will look something like the rest of the Kavanah Street

136
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: in the other side. So we embarking in doing that

137
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: one now we're actually going to do this year and

138
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: next year brassh of Terrace in Casarina complete that landscaping,

139
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: and also we want to do the end of Goida

140
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: Road and mcmean Streets is another one. And we've got

141
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: a number of projects about landscaping, not only in the

142
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: city but also in the.

143
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: Sub trees a lot of trees being planted there on

144
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh Streights.

145
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: I asked her to tell me how many trees we planned.

146
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: Last year we planted three bushes medium trees twenty thousand

147
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: and this year we're planning another twenty thousand to be planted.

148
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: So that's all around around the municipality.

149
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeap or.

150
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: Studying more trees that we lost in Cycle and Marcus

151
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: and keep going. And if you take a little trip

152
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: to each point and see where we actually planted the

153
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: trees inside Lippoint, you'd be amazed how much have grown

154
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: in two years.

155
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: So sorry, I'm just trying to get a clear idea

156
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: just with Kavanagh straight. So the beautification that's happening there.

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: It's sort of more trees and things as well.

158
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, more trees and more bushes, more flower plants. So

159
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: it's not going to be just one tree. It's going

160
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: to be a number of trees.

161
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: I know. I can anticipate that people are going to

162
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: start texting in and going, well, we'll see what's one

163
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: straight one end of the street going to look like

164
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: and then the other end the shade structure is still

165
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: not growing. I know that that is not council's responsibility,

166
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: but is it going to look a bit funny?

167
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: Then well, if you drive down Kavanagh Street and pass

168
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: the sage structure, you'll see how beautiful it looks. How

169
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: the trees now start meeting over the street.

170
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: That will give us.

171
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: The shade we require naturally, and that will put the

172
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: place down. And we're aspired to do the same in

173
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: other areas.

174
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: All right, Well, convat scarlets, the Lord Mayor of Darwin

175
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,560

178
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: who come from the waterfront, because I believe a cruise ship.

182
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,560
