1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: And that is the Lord Mayor conbat Scarlet's good morning Corn,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Good morning Kaid.

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: And yes, people are frustrated without social behavior. Yes, people

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: are frustrated with kids committing crime. And O there's a

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: debate about raising the age of responsibility. But I'm going

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: to say something that some people might not like it

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: at all, But that's democracy. When a teve year old

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: kid goes to a shop with a knife to rob

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: something but disguises himself by pulling thing in front of

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: his face, he tells me that this kid, the twelve

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: year old, knows he's doing something wrong. So in this era,

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: when you've got so much information going around, even an

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: eight and nine year old knows what's right what's wrong.

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: I have to agree the way we address the issue

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: after we arrest people is not the right one. Locking

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 2: kids away to a place that's got air condition, three

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: meals and television and without giving them nothing to actively

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: do so the border of their brains is the wrong approach.

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Don't sendence kids to detention center. Sendence skis to the

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: techer said, but in a class some of these kids

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: can read and write and they're ten eleven years old.

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: Or take them out to a camp where they can

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: learn some skills, or take them to a tave where

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: they can actually learn to do something with their hands.

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: Some of them are very talented mechanics. Don't just lock

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 2: them in and throw the key away. Give them something

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: to do so whether they come out they might have

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: something that will save their lives.

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't think you get much disagreement from

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: people there. I think that a lot of people, you know,

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: we understand that kids shouldn't be locked away, and well no,

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: I think the way that I would more say it

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: is that when they are going to a youth detention center,

34
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: you want to see them coming out rehabilitated. You want

35
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: to make sure that they're engaged in programs when they're

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: able to kick.

37
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Up better and make kids the parents, ether positively or negatively.

38
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: I was yesterday, I was ready the Greek newspaper. A youth,

39
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: A gang of young kids. One of them twelve, robbed

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: a school student from its mobile phone and everything else.

41
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: The police arrested them, and the police also arrested the

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: parents for failing to super of ice miners. Sometimes, if

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: you want to do things to change things, you might

44
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: not just arrest the personal committee offense, but the pressure

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: will failed supervise the little person dot committee offense.

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Con let's move along and talk about one of the

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: issues that you and I spoke about last week and

48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: it garnered a lot of well a lot of interest,

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: whether it was support or people thinking no, it won't

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: make a difference. It was indeed the offer that you

51
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: that you asked the Northern Territory Police if they'd like

52
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: to take up, and that was the free space in

53
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: the CBD to combat anti social behavior. They knocked it back.

54
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: What was your reaction to that?

55
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: The police knocked back and they said that we don't

56
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: need more bits. We've got another police station just in

57
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: Naki Street. Well, the reasonally they said that because they

58
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: hadn't read the letter we said it because we hadn't

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: said the letter yet. In the letter we make it

60
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: clear we don't offer them police station. We will offer

61
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: them at base for patrols to come and go in

62
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: the CBD.

63
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, recom you haven't taken your

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: offer seriously because they didn't give time or consideration to

65
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: the full offer.

66
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: Even send the letter when they knocked it back. So

67
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 2: in the letter will make clear what we're offering them

68
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: not a police station, but a base for people to

69
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: patrol the streets.

70
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, is it fair enough that they're more wanting

71
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: to be quite mobile and active rather than sort of

72
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: being in an office space or in a shop space.

73
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's what we want them to be out there.

74
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: But whether they have a fridge, they can get the water,

75
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: they can live their food, they can have something that

76
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: actually can go back, like a base, not a police station.

77
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: And so what's next then in this space.

78
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 2: The offer is open. I spoke to my colleague, the

79
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: Lord Mayor of Perth, who advised me that the police

80
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: they put seventy five extra police officers on foot patrol

81
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: and perthsibit is being absolutely peaceful. Communicated with Kurns. Kurns

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: made an offer of a police bit and two cars.

83
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Now we're not offering that we actually want people on

84
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: the streets who don't want them a police station. Because

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: currently you've got police station and casarina and a nightcliff

86
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: and of course the city behind here were are the

87
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: police officer on the.

88
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Street, So you're obviously questioning, you know, why they've knocked

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: it back when other places are doing it.

90
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's the police to answer, but I recalled very well,

91
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: and I actually downloaded and read the two or Salivan reports,

92
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: one in two thousand and three, the other one twenty twelve,

93
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: and both of them and their recommendation said more foot patrols. Corn,

94
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: just so sorry. I don't attack the police here. I'm

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: just telling me, telling to you and to people who listening,

96
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: what the people on the street are telling me. They

97
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 2: haven't seen a police on the streets for a long time.

98
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: So you're saying that they want more police on the streets,

99
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: and you're conveying what territories are telling you at this point.

100
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: Yes, Corn, let's move along.

101
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: One of the other things that people have been asking

102
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: about quite a bit recently is that Rapid Creek footbridge.

103
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: Where's that ash.

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: We actually did some work. We actually the engineers designed

105
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: some temporary measures to actually operate temporarily. We've been going

106
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: we went out for quotes last week. We're waiting the

107
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: quotes to come back next week. So we'll do some

108
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: temporary work rather than a permanent work because we're going

109
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: to find another permanent solution. That bridge will be rectified

110
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: to temporarily open to traffic until we establish the perirmans.

111
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: So is that the Rapid Creek in the Jingly one

112
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: the same one. Yes, yes, and so essentially looking at

113
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: what you can do temporarily.

114
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: Yes, the bridge its structuring and sound as is now.

115
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: We're trying to actually make it structure sound for the

116
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: safety of the public. We have to work with the

117
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: government because Rapid Creek is a very sensitive area and

118
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: we have to actually work with the government to disturb

119
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: the place. We don't want to damage Ropit Creek.

120
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: Colin, before I let you go this morning a Christmas pageant.

121
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: We're going to be having our first sever Christmas pageant,

122
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: are we Yeah? Hey, what's going on here?

123
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: It's got to be big, It's going to be good.

124
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: It's going to bring people to the city. It's going

125
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: to activate the city. And we work together with another

126
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: territory government and the purpose for that is actually to

127
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: do a series of events that will attract people in

128
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: the city and boost the economy in the CBD. I

129
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: know that Casuarina and Gateway and other bigs of accenters

130
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: do decoration. We want to do more than just the coreation.

131
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: We want to actually give opportunity to keep for people,

132
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: bring the kids to see things. The lights the three events,

133
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to tell you what events we're

134
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: going to do because we have finalized yet the range

135
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: of events.

136
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: I think the big question on everybody's lips is is

137
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Santa Claus going to be there?

138
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: Can you have Christmas without sunder clause? Find that very much. Yes,

139
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: there would be Sunday clause, and yes there will be

140
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: Santa Claus cave. It's Christmas, it's not Holidays.

141
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: Cornbat scarless. Well, leave it good to catch up with you.

142
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: As always, I don't forget to put your rabbish out

143
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: on one Monday because that's the second round of a

144
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: clean up. And I'll tell you what. Last year we

145
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: actually collected six hundred tons of waste.

146
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: People have dead sish in like perap in some of

147
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: the other areas. They've got washing machines that look new. Honestly,

148
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: if you're trying to take your house out, I reckon

149
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: you can just drive around and find a few.

150
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Think here were collected seventy five tons of white goods.

151
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: So with the white goods and stuff that are in

152
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: pretty good nick, do they again that then get sold

153
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: out at the tip shop or what happens.

154
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: All the things that don't go to tip go to

155
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: HPA excellent, get buye second hand everything

156
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: Wonderful to hear combat Scarl's good to catch up with
