1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Yesterday, the leader of the Opposition, leafanocchi Airo, delivered her

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: budget in reply and outlined a colp's roadmap to rebuild

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: the Northern Territory. Now, she says it's a plan to

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: drive down crime and cost of living and get the

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: economy moving forwards. As we heard yesterday, the COLP announced

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: the Homegrown Territory Package, which will increase the first home

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: buyer grant for new builds from.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: Ten thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars.

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: And it also introduces a new grant of ten thousand

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: for first home buyers to purchase established times and in

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: an Australian first also provide a new thirty thousand dollars

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: grant to every day Australians to build a new home

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: in the Northern Territory. Now, Leah Fanochio, the Opposition leader,

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: joins me on the line right now.

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Leah.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: Good morning Katie and to your listeners.

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: Leah, it was good to hear the colp's budget reply.

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: I know that much of the criticism towards you and

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: the COLP is that there really hasn't been much of

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: a roadmap up until this point. Did you really want

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: that speech yesterday, you know, to show and to outline

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: how are you going to do things differently if you

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: become the Chief Minister.

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: Oh, Katie, We're so focused on making sure that Territorians

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: understand that point of difference, and Labor gave their budget

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: on Tuesday which show that if we continue with the

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: Labor government, territories are just going to get more of

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: the same. And so yesterday I had the opportunity to

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: really highlight for every single territory in how life will

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 3: be different under the CLP and that our roadmap to

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: rebuild the territory is centered around making Territorians safe, easing

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: their cost of living pressures, growing our economy because we

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: know when our economy is strong, people do better. And

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: this is about making sure that Territorians can afford and

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 3: want to stay here and live here, and that people

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: see the territory as an attractive place to live, work

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: and invest. So it was a great opportunity to really

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: highlight those significant points of difference between life funder Labor

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: and a strong future under the CLP.

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Leah, how do you reckon the first home buyers plans

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: going to help? I mean, the government very critical yesterday

42
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: saying that it's not even going to help Territorians, but

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: rather people from interstate.

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah Labor have been trying to do a scare campaign

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: around this, but they had their chance to provide opportunities

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: for Territorians on Tuesday and they failed. So our plan

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 3: is really exciting, Katie, and it meets the aspirations of Territorians.

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: So I want to be really clear. There are three

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: levels of grants that Territorians have access to. We want

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: our first home buyers, our young people, people entering the

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: market to set their life here, establish their families here

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: and stay. And so first home buyers in the territory

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: who build a new home will get fifty thousand dollars.

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: We also want to make sure because you know, building

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: a new home is not for everyone, Katie, So people

56
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: who'd prefer to perhaps buy their first unit, or buy

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: their first apartment, or by an existing home, we will

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: give them ten thousand dollars. Currently they get nothing under

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: Labor and in a really game changer for the territory

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: as well, people looking to write size. So your mum

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: and dad they've got their big four bedroom house in

62
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: the Northern suburbs, their kids have all grown up and left,

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: and they're sort of thinking, you know what, I'm sick

64
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 3: of picking up palm fronds on the weekend. You know,

65
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: they've got the opportunity to write size so even though

66
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: they've owned, they own their home, that we will give

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 3: them thirty thousand dollars to build a home that's more

68
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: suitable to their needs now, which importantly means they will

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: put that big family home up for rent or up

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: for sale, which means a new family can come in

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: and love and enjoy that home. And we get that

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: cycle through our housing market, increase housing supply, and of

73
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: course grow our population as a result of that lea.

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: It wasn't the only point of difference.

75
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean you flagged this last week, but the payroll

76
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: tax announcement it does seem to be really quite a

77
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: big point of difference as well, compete to what the

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: government had spoken.

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: About throughout their budget. Now, why did you go down

80
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: that pass with business?

81
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: We've been really clear that we want the territory to

82
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: be the most competitive place to live, work and invest.

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: And we know our economy is going backwards. People are leaving,

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: crime is out of control, and cost of living is

85
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: crippling people. So all of our policies have been built

86
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: by Territorians for Territorians, us out on the ground, listening

87
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: to what's important to them. So we've been very clear

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: and the points of difference. The battle line has been drawn. Katie.

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: We've had the Chief Minister say that our homeowner incentives

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: are a brain fart, that's what she called them. Yesterday.

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: She said our tax relief was ridiculous and silly. But Katie,

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: the cop understand that the only thing silly is to

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: continue to do the same thing and expect a different outcome.

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: But that's what labor have offered up for Territorians. So

95
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: our payroll tax is another very clear point of difference.

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: It is relief for tax for small all business who

97
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: are shutting their doors. We had one hundred and six

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: shut their doors last year. Eighty six hundred Territorians have

99
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: taken on second jobs just to afford to pay the bills.

100
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: And so by giving small business relief, they can employ

101
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 3: more apprentices, more trainees, give their staff pay rises, invest

102
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: in more plant and equipment, grow the services that they're

103
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: delivering for territorians, give Territorians more choice and grow our economy.

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Leah.

105
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Some of the announcements are going to presumably cost a

106
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: heck of a lot of money. We're set to be

107
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: in eleven billion dollars worth of debt.

108
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: How can you afford these promises, Well.

109
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: We can't afford not to do it, Katie. So our

110
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: payroll tax will cost about forty three million dollars and

111
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: our homeowner scheme we've set aside twenty for that. Now,

112
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: when you look at government waste, this government has been

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: very disrespect to a full and how it's prioritized and

114
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: spent territorians money. So our commitment is to spend taxpayers

115
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: dollars on things that grow our economy, grow our population,

116
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: keep Territorians here and improve our lifestyle. And so what

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: we would do, and we've been very clear, I want

118
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 3: Territorians to know all of our policies will be properly

119
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: costed by Treasury and we will follow that transparent process.

120
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: But also we will be very upfront with Territorians about

121
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: where we see a reprioritization. So if labor have allocated

122
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: money in the budget to something that we think doesn't

123
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: need to be done this year, perhaps it could be

124
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: done the year after. We would tell Territorians how we're

125
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: going to take that money ear masked by labor for

126
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: something else, to use it for something that we believe

127
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: is more important. And then your listeners, Katie, have that

128
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: choice when they vote in one hundred days time. Do

129
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: they want to vote for things that are going to

130
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 3: make a difference tomorrow or do they want more of

131
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: the same under labor Lea, are.

132
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: You going to implement any cost saving measures at all?

133
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: I mean, we spoke to the to the Chief Minister

134
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: and Treasurer Evil only yesterday. It doesn't sound like Labour's

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: really got any cost saving measures from what I can gather.

136
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: You guys know have either well.

137
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: No Labor have blown. They've spent an extra two billion

138
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: dollars in this last year and what do Territorians have

139
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: to show for it. But we will not impose austerity

140
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: measures on Territorians. It is not their fault that labor

141
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: has mismanaged our economy and our budget. But that's why

142
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: we're very committed and focused on making the territory the

143
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: most competitive place to live, work and invest. That's why

144
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: our payroll tax is the best in the country. Our

145
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: payroll tax policy, that's why our first homeowner policy is

146
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: the best in the country. Because if we can be

147
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: the most competitive the nation leader. We will grow our

148
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: economy and by growing the size of the pie, it

149
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: means we have more money to deliver better services for territorians.

150
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: And when the economy is growing, everyone is doing better.

151
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: Leara.

152
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I did know yesterday at the beginning of your speech,

153
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: and I couldn't watch the whole thing, but I certainly

154
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: did note that your daughter was up in the gallery,

155
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: and you know, I saw you look up at her,

156
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: and you know you can see the fondness in your

157
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: eye as you delivered that speech yesterday. I mean in

158
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: delivering your budget reply and in looking at the steps

159
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: that you're going to take for the Northern Territory, like

160
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: how big a part to play does the next generation

161
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: have in some of those measures that you're announcing.

162
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: Katie is everything. My father was born here, my uncle,

163
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: my cousins. I was born here, my children were born here.

164
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: And I don't know, the territory of today is not

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: the territory I know and love. It's not the one

166
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: my family has grown up in and enjoyed and what

167
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: I want for my daughter and my son and my

168
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: you know, and every territory in's family is a safe

169
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: place to live a great place to raise a family,

170
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: somewhere where you can afford to live a good life,

171
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: somewhere with jobs and opportunities. And I'm so passionate about that, Katie,

172
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: and you're right, it was just lovely to have Eiler

173
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: and her school happen to be in the gallery at

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: the same time I was giving my reply, And it

175
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: just is a reminder that every single day I get

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: up and fight for our future because the territory is

177
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: worth saving, it is worth rebuilding, it is worth fighting for.

178
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: And with every bit of my being, Katie, I am

179
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: out there every single day with Territorians explaining to them

180
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: our vision the territory can be a great place to live,

181
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 3: work and investigate. I am confident our policies and our

182
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 3: team will deliver that. And the points of difference are

183
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: really sharp and clear. Now. If people want action on crime,

184
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: if they want action on the economy, if they want

185
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: action on cost of living and to protect our beautiful lifestyle,

186
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: the choice in one hundred days is for a better

187
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 3: future under the CLP. Because labor have just told Territorians

188
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: all they're getting is more of the same.

189
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, between the Chief Ministry yesterday

190
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: and you today.

191
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: They're definitely election pictures.

192
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: If I've ever heard them from both the budget and

193
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: the budget reply. And Leah, fair enough, because we know

194
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: that new polling has been released in exclusive report by

195
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: Matt Cunningham from Sky News this morning, it shows that

196
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: the Country Liberal Party holds a strong lead ahead of

197
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: August Northern Territory election. This new poll has revealed but

198
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Labour has clawed back significant ground under the leadership of

199
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: the new Chief Minister Eva Lawler. The poll by Freshwater

200
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: Strategy on behalf of Australian Energy produces int shows the

201
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: COLP is ahead fifty four to forty six on a

202
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: two party preferred basis. This survey of one hundred voters,

203
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: with a margin of era of three percent, shows more

204
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: than a quarter of voters are still undecided ahead of

205
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: the election on August twenty four. Leah, firstly, what do

206
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: you make of this of these polling results.

207
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw that story on Sky News this morning

208
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: and Katie, we are just so focused on making sure

209
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 3: that territories understand that choice that they have to make

210
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: and that the entire future of the Northern Territory for

211
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: their family and their kids. Hinges on the outcome at

212
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: this upcoming election. So our team are just focused on

213
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: being on the ground. This is it was always going

214
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: to be a tight election. We cannot take anything for granted.

215
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: But by being on the ground with territories, listening and

216
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: responding to what they're telling us is how we believe

217
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: people will understand very clearly that a better future under

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 3: the CLP is what the territory needs.

219
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Come or you've still got a situation though you've still

220
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: got a situation where more than a quarter of voters

221
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: are still undecided before August. I mean, a lot of

222
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: the criticism we've had for the CLP up until the

223
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: budget reply and up until the last few weeks has

224
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: been that they really don't know exactly what the CLP

225
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: stands for and how you're going to, you know, to

226
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: sort out some of the issues that.

227
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: Are really top of mind.

228
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: And we can see that as well from this from

229
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: these polling results. You know, the number one issue for

230
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: Territorians at this point in time is crime, which is

231
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: certainly not a surprise to me, but yeah, exactly, so, like,

232
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: how do you plan to try and win some of

233
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: those voters over that are undecided if they're disenfranchised with

234
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, with the two major parties, there is.

235
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: A large number of people still deciding their vote, and

236
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: that's why we can't take anything for granted. It's why

237
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 3: I'm out on the ground every day with our team

238
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: who are connected to their communities and making sure that

239
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: we understand what their aspirations for the future are our

240
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: policies and I very clearly outlined our roadmap to rebuild

241
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: the territory yesterday around reducing crime, you know, reducing cost

242
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,239
Speaker 3: of living for people, building our economy, growing our economy,

243
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: and all of our policies that will deliver on that.

244
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: So the choice is now framed up very clearly. We

245
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: will continue to of course announce policies as we approach

246
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: the August election, but it's very very important that people

247
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: understand that under Labor they are just going to get

248
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: more of the same. There will be nothing different. There

249
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: was no thing in Labour's budget around stronger laws or.

250
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: Prospects are they are they just getting the same?

251
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean the government yesterday announced that they're now introducing

252
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: this curfew legislation.

253
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: What do you make of that?

254
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: We'll support the curfew legislation, but we don't think it

255
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: goes far enough. If the COLP is elected, we would

256
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: amend that curfew legislation to make sure that police can

257
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: deliver consequences for people who repeatedly breach the curfew because

258
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 3: currently under labor all police can do is keep you

259
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: grabbing these kids and putting them on the other side

260
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: of the dotted line, so to speak, outside of the

261
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: curfew zone. We want breaches of curfew to result in

262
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: a trigger to our boot camps that we're building and

263
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: compulsory community service.

264
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: All right, Leafano Kiara, we are going to have to

265
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: leave it there. As always, Thanks very much for your time.

266
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again soon.

267
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: Yes, take care everyone.

268
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: Thank you,
