And 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: in the studio, Dave Tolna, good morning, great to be 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: with you, Canie and Damian Hale welcome. We're so glad 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: to have your back mate. And I think that it 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: goes without saying from the whole community and certainly from 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: Dave and I that we're very sorry that you lost 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: your mum. And I know that so many you know 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: she's so certainly so well loved in the community. 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: She was, And thanks a lot to all those people 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: out in Darwen that have shed a tear and sent 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: the best wishes to the family. And Bev has left 17 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 2: the big legacy here. And it's hard when you lose 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: a parent. It's a very surreal feeling and I still 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: sort of haven't really sorted it out myself, but it's 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: good to just get back and do some normal stuff. 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 3: He's pretty cocker hoop this morning. I got to tell you, 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 3: I don't even know what cock means. He's been driving, Yeah, 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 3: he's been drawing around in his wife's car, so he's 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: feeling quite loved. 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 4: And so often I've been telling David about this morning. 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 3: He'll check out the wife's new winds stumped in the 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,919 Speaker 3: car and I had a little sit in the marks 28 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 3: and I don't get to drive it very often, so 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: it's nice. 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: I've missed you too. I think I enjoying my laughs 31 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday. And there's been so much happening that 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, and I've thought I'd love 33 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: to have a chat to you two about this, so 34 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: we may as well do it. 35 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 3: Now. 36 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this situation with firstly the hospital out 37 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: in Palmerston. We know that Matt Cunningham from Sky News 38 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: has broken a story this morning saying that there was 39 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: talks about the possibility of essentially shutting down the emergency 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: ward out at Palmerston Hospital due to the situation that 41 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: we've got with a staffing shortage at the moment, or 42 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: that's what it's been described as. We also know that 43 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: there's been three code yellows this year at Royal dal 44 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: And Hospital. Let's take a listen to what the Health Minister, 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: Natasha Philes had to say on this topic just a 46 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: short time ago. 47 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 5: So, Katie, we have seen incredible pressures on our health 48 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 5: system and part of that has been due to staffing. 49 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 5: That is a very operational question that you have asked, 50 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 5: and I don't have that information to hand. I do 51 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 5: know that we have got significant staffing challenges across the territory, 52 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 5: some in remote clinics, and we have seen staffing a challenge. 53 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 5: The code yellow that we called at rod Zawen Hospital 54 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 5: last week, I was advised was based on a significant 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 5: number of people in the emergency department. It wasn't a 56 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 5: staffing issue. So I think it's important for territories to 57 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 5: understand we do have challenges, but we certainly make sure 58 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 5: that we provide the best quality care. We listen to 59 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 5: our clinicians and the operational decisions that they make in 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 5: terms of calling the code yellow and in terms of 61 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 5: the discussions that you've just pointed to. 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: I mean I did ask the Health Minister whether we 63 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: are at crisis point. She said that we're not, and 64 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: that you know that things are managed obviously with the 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: ebb and flow. I guess you'd call it of a 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: hospital system being busy, but you know it is still 67 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: a concern for people. We took a call from Keith, 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: one of our listeners, just a little while ago, sing 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: that he was in the hospital yesterday. He was banked 70 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: up out the front in an ambulance waiting to get 71 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: in and it was incredibly busy. 72 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: No, this is this is certainly one of the symptoms 73 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: of a labor government. 74 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: Seven minutes, seven minutes. That's all right, letting go, letting go. 75 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: We're going to get to the daily by election in 76 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: a second, so I'm hanging out for that. 77 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: I can't wait to see him contigue that. 78 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 3: I mean a health system that's splurging money and not 79 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: meaning it's service requirements. He's like, I say, it's a 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: symptom of labor governments everywhere, and you see that in 81 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: West Australia. You know they've had all these lockdowns and 82 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. They can't because the health system 83 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: can't cope. Victorious the saying, you know, everywhere where you 84 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: have a labor government, you have these problems with staff 85 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 3: and it's not a lack of money. It's just a 86 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: lack of I suppose determination to make sure the job 87 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: is done in the territory. I've been a health minister. 88 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: As you know, We've got the most amazing staff I 89 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: think in the country, real all around as people who 90 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 3: can deal with a myriad of issues, quite incredible health 91 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: protect professionals in our system. And I think Keith this 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: morning even alluded to that in his conversation. You know 93 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 3: that the staff, you can never complain about the staff 94 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: and our hospitals and clinics anywhere in the territory that 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 3: they are simply magnificent. Where things go wrong I think 96 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 3: is with the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy is constantly interfering in 97 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 3: how their doctors and nurses and other health professionals do 98 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: their jobs. And you know it's impacted here. And obviously 99 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: a big part of this staff shortage is the Territory 100 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 3: Health taking over that that detention facility out there at 101 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: Howard Springs. It has to put pressure on the on 102 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: the health system, so you know. 103 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: And then what is it, I mean, what do you 104 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: make of the situation out in Palmerston as well. I 105 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: mean it's obviously it would obviously be difficult trying to juggle. 106 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: You know, having enough staff to. 107 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: Hospital is very popular for people at Palmerston, but the 108 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: reality is that it always split our resources the Palmerston Hospital. 109 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: There was always an argument that, you know, it's a 110 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: you can't really have two hospitals in a population of 111 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: under one hundred thousand people. Makes it very difficult to 112 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: run to you know, emergency departments for instance. But I 113 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 3: think that again, the territory health system's done pretty well 114 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: in coping with it. It'd be very hard to shut 115 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: down Palmston Hospital now because there's so much. 116 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: So much demand. 117 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: No no, but there's so much demand out there now 118 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: people have got used to it. So somehow or rather, 119 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: we have to cope with the situation that we've got 120 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 3: and that requires some tough decision making by the by 121 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 3: the politicians in relation to how you maximize. You know, 122 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: there's almost two billion dollars a year going into our 123 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: health system. It's not a small amount of money, and 124 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: it's a it's a it's a small amount of money 125 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: when you consider how remote a lot of the territory is. 126 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 3: But again in the remote areas, most of that bill 127 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 3: is picked up by the Commonwealth at the Aboriginal Control 128 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 3: medical centers, and in a lot of places like Tenant 129 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 3: Creek for instance, most of the population use the the 130 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: Aboriginal Medical Center rather than the local hospital. 131 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: So Dave doesn't get past the bear and a ligne 132 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: too often. Let's be honest, because you were nearly a 133 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: decade ago you were the health minister. Believe it or not, 134 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: I can assure you Palmerston now has thirty seven thousand people, 135 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 2: with another probably twenty thousand living in the rural area, 136 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: and probably by twenty thirty Palmerston will be bigger than 137 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: Darwin population wise, So I think the Palmerston Regional Hospital 138 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: will stay. 139 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 4: They'll always be Thelways games. 140 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: Now we've got nine billion dollars worth of debt. Now 141 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: how systems going down the draink? You tell me, how 142 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: are you going to fix it? 143 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: There's always going to be ebbs and flows in the 144 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: way that staffing is. And Dave's right in fact that 145 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: the job that's been done a fantastic job for the 146 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: nation at Howard Springs, not just for the Northern territory. 147 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 2: So of course there's going to be stretched resources. Saturday 148 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: Night stretches the resources. We almost had a situation where 149 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: the sandbank the sand island got washed away, which would 150 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: have stretched resources as well. So you know that happens 151 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: in the Darwin Hospital, it will happen in the Palmerston Hospital. 152 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: But as a Palmerston person who's used the hospital before, 153 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: I've taken my parents up there and family members up there. 154 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: It's a great asset for the Palmerston city and it 155 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: will remain. It will remain like that, So I think 156 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: it's important to continue having the hospital. And the last 157 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: thing I think the minister, the Minister's made it very clear. 158 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: And Dave Dave when he was Health minister, we know 159 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: his position. He was always you know, he was always 160 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: against having the Palmeston Hospital and he's on the record, 161 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: I'm not verbal in him. He's on the record as 162 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: saying that that money should have been put into the 163 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: precinct at t and that's and that's fine. That's his position, 164 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: but a lot of people in Palmerston and our late 165 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: colleague Pete Davies has a room. 166 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: Named after him. And remember the shock of the bureaucrat 167 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 4: statele and we turned up. That was a classic. 168 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: The bureaucrats are going, why is Hale and told me 169 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: here he said, oh, because Pete Davis family invited us. 170 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 4: Think here that we were coming either. 171 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: But you know, it's a great asset for Palmerston and 172 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: it will be utilized. We don't know how long the 173 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 2: pandemic's going to keep going on, so it's unprecedented times. 174 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: In regards You'll worry, though, like to point out the obvious, 175 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: it does certainly make you worry. And I know that 176 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: you know that Dave will probably call this COVID porn 177 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: or whatever he says. But what are we going to do, 178 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: Like if we end up in a situation where we 179 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: do have any kind of community transmission here in the 180 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: Northern Territory and you do need people on those ventilators 181 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: and things like that, are we going to have the 182 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: capacity to manage it? 183 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: I think the thing is Katie, that will obviously be 184 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: in the back of the minds of the politicians is 185 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: that we just happen to have the National Critical Care 186 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 3: and Trauma Response Center based here in Darwin. 187 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: So you reckon that they know they're all right, they've 188 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: got a backup plan that. 189 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: They can recreate Royal dau And Hospital in twenty four hours, 190 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: that they can recreate the number of beds that are required, 191 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 3: and they fly in doctors and nurses and other health 192 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: professionals from all over the country at a snap of 193 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: a finger. You know, they're an amazing organization. But my 194 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: worry is that that organization is being sort of taken 195 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 3: for granted, and we really do we need to look 196 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: at our own needs and we can't be using them 197 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: every time there's a problem. Now, having said that, that 198 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: facility of how It Spring seems to me to be 199 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: a national facility more than just a territory facility. You know, 200 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: they're bringing all the Olympic athletes in through there. 201 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 4: It should have been the one stop shop. 202 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: They should have got rid of hotel quarantine in back, 203 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: you know, six months ago, because it. 204 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: Because you couldn't put all that on the territory healsings. 205 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: They'd have to have. 206 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 4: Resource government. 207 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: Well, that's right, it was originally stop shop. 208 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 4: Because we've shown what a disaster care and trauma response 209 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: and we've shown what a disaster hotel quarantining has been 210 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 4: down in the Southern. 211 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: States, So we do obviously need that support. Though, you know, 212 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: if we were to do that, I actually don't think 213 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: that's a bad idea. If we were to do that though, 214 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: and if we are that one stop shop that that 215 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: everybody flying back goes through, well we would need the 216 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: federal support in terms of staff. It seems like that's 217 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: where we're failing at the moment. 218 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: It's sitting out there as well. 219 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: So there's other facilities you keep adding on to the 220 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: Howard Springs facility too. And I don't know why the 221 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: National Cabinet didn't say, you know what, hotel quarantine is 222 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: not working. Whether it's security guards that are having to 223 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: work at three different venues, whether it's the fact that 224 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 2: the air conditionings all linked, whatever the reason, it's been 225 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: a complete failure and we should have just had everyone 226 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: come to Howard Springs. 227 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 3: Well, I think it was the territory government who actually 228 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: wanted the Territory health system to look after how It Springs. 229 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: I think the Commonwealth was quite happy to keep the 230 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 3: critical care and traumas out of there. 231 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 4: Yeah. 232 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, all of a sudden. 233 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: We've got pressure on oils the hospital. You know, there 234 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 3: must have been a financial incentive involved. I would have 235 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: thought for the Territory government to take that over. Well, 236 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 3: and you wonder where that's gone. 237 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: Well, look, we are going to take a very short 238 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: break when we come back. We're keen to take a 239 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: look over the daily by election on the weekend. You 240 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: are listening to Mix one oh four point nine.

You are listening to the 246 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: Big Issues proudly brought to you by Kolano Community Association 247 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: in the studio with us Dave Tolner and Damian Hale. Now, 248 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: the Daily by election obviously was held over the weekend 249 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: and the COLP lost the seat. Labour's Duran Young picking 250 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: it up. What did you make of that by election 251 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: on the weekend? 252 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: You two, I wasn't actually following it. Maybe Hailey might 253 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 3: know something about it. 254 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 4: Surprised. 255 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: I was surprised, totally against the grain of by elections 256 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 2: in the past history, making one where a government that's 257 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: in their second or third. 258 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Term, second second. 259 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: Term and to pick up a seat in a liberal 260 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: held seat. 261 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 4: But there was a few worrying signs. 262 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 2: I think some of the commentary of the c LP 263 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: was you know that they didn't have time to prepare. Well, 264 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: it was their member Sloane that was resigning, so I presume. 265 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: He would have told them. 266 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 3: It did seem to me. 267 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 4: I thought Dave didn't follow it, but he's. 268 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: About a cabin meeting out there two weeks before the 269 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: announcement and they out there on masks. Well tell first 270 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: beat it. But it does seem like that, said labor 271 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: knew what was going on before the SELP dida. But 272 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: you sort of wonder whether that was the case. It 273 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: was just a while coincidence that. 274 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I know that Sloaney had said upon announcing 275 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: that he was standing down that it was due to 276 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: a health issue, so so you know that was in 277 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: any way. Yeah, yeah, he's and he's a good blow, you. 278 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: Know, I think, and from our perspective, like in the end, 279 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: Dean Young ran and he's young, and he's a fifth 280 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: floor advisor ran in the seat. No one actually lived 281 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: in the seat of the full candidate. 282 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: That's astonishing. 283 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but like yeah, it's not surprising. And but you'd 284 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: really think if the CLP had it been given a 285 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: heads up for me and slowan earlier and probably said 286 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: look because of health, you know, six or eight weeks 287 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: out from you know, start to organize a candidate, blah 288 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: blah blah, get yourselves organized, because I Am going to 289 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: resign from parliament. But as Dave said, it appears that 290 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: they were caught a little bit blindsided themselves. 291 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 4: So I don't think, you know, there has. 292 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: Been a lot of conjecture and reflection on the leader, 293 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: and I suppose the buck does stop with the leader 294 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: of the Opposition to a certain extent, But I think 295 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: talking about I think. 296 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 4: Gunn is the tef one Mann. 297 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 2: It just keeps walking forward, and I hear all this 298 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: commentary about how terrible he is and oh he's horrible, 299 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 2: and of the world is just going to. 300 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: He will be the longer serving chief and there's no 301 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: doubt about it. 302 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 4: And I think that he and this once again the 303 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 4: by election has. 304 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: Reiterated the point that you know, people are supporting Michael Gunner. 305 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: But the other concern I think for the CLP, I 306 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: think like the ADMIN obviously, the ADMIN and the COLP 307 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: needs to take some of the blame for this. And 308 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: you've got your leader, your parliamentary side of the party, 309 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: and then you've got your ADMIN that runs the party 310 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: in between your agms. Obviously that part of the party 311 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: needs to lift their game because this seat they should 312 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: never have lost. 313 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 4: And the fact that the fact that. 314 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: There was a low voter turnout in the rural area 315 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: has to be a concern to the COLP. There's a 316 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: big turnout in the Aboriginal communities that voted labor so 317 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: I think that the CLP has to be concerned in 318 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 2: regards to the high community vote against him. 319 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: I'm pretty interested in what you've got to say, because 320 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 3: I really have been scratching my head this result. It's 321 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 3: stunn me is sort of said, how is it possible 322 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 3: that the COLP could lose that seat? But they did and. 323 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: So convincingly to the fifty five forty five basically split. 324 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: So I mean, what do you think it sees, Dave 325 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: about the CLP? 326 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 3: Mate. I haven't had much to do with the COLP 327 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: in recent years, and you know, it is a bit concerning. 328 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: And I know that I know that Leah wouldn't have 329 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 3: been interested at all in losing that seat and would have, 330 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 3: you know, probably put in one hundred and twenty percent 331 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 3: to keep it. The question is, you know why what 332 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 3: went wrong? 333 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: Where was I'll tell you what I think happened is 334 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: I actually think that, you know, choosing somebody who is 335 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: based in Tenant Creek is the wrong move. If you're 336 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: going to run a candidate, no matter how good they are, 337 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: you should actually have someone see that. 338 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: You should try and find somebody from the electorate. And 339 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 3: it's sort of in some regards confusing that the CLP didn't. 340 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: But having said that, I do know Chris Sivities well, 341 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: and he's a champion fellow, he's an I've got no 342 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 3: doubt he'd fit in well in that seat, ready to 343 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 3: move there and all that sort of stuff. And like 344 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 3: Harley said, none of the candidates came out of the 345 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 3: election out of the Electric, So you sit there. 346 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: I thought Rebecca Jennings maybe lived in the Electric now, 347 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: that was what she told me she'd said, though she 348 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: moved back out. 349 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 3: So it's not really so you can't really say that 350 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 3: that was a factor in the CLP losing. But given 351 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: that none of the candidates came from the. 352 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: Area, I reckon what it seemed like is that both 353 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: the Labor Party and the CLP ran very different races. 354 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: Labor seemed to focus on the remote area of whatever 355 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: and seemed to make a real focus on making sure 356 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: that they were out there and trying to get the 357 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: vote out there, whereas the CLP very much run the 358 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: race of trying to win it in the rural area. 359 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: And I guess that you know, if you've got an 360 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: overwhelming response from the rural area in terms of that 361 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: voter turnout and in terms of support from the rural area. 362 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 3: Gary Megan's had to do out there too, because I 363 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: mean halfway through the campaign, I think his family or 364 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 3: resigned from the party and whatnot. 365 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: So I did not know that. I'll have to ask Gary. 366 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, he was a very popular member. 367 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: And it's been interesting in the last couple of days 368 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 2: of I wouldn't think Labor are not out cockerhoot, as 369 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: Dave would say, It's been a very subdued celebration. I 370 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 2: think there's been very little reflection on the leader of 371 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: the opposition over it. And I just really think that 372 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: the CEORP were caught with their pants down. Basically, they 373 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: should have been on the front foot. They should have 374 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: thought to themselves earlier. I'm not sure when the former 375 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: member had informed them, but they seemed disorganized and Labor 376 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: seemed to swing into action and start to get the 377 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: campaign happening and a young Indigenous guy gets elected to 378 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: the parliament. 379 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: Which is a good thing anyway. 380 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: And I just think that you can't blame I just 381 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 2: don't believe that all the blame should be pointed at 382 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: the parliamentary leader when you're meant to have people in 383 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: the background, the admin of the party, and I know 384 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: the ADMIN and the Labor Party worked really hard for 385 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: our candidates and so you know, often parties, if you 386 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: lose your crap candidate, if you win, it's because the 387 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: admin committee got you there, so that. 388 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 3: The to say they had a crap candidate in this. 389 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 4: Case, no, exactly, so they can't blame him. 390 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 2: So I just think that there's an issue around the 391 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: support and the SEALP probably have three years to really 392 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: rectify their off field if they're going to attract quality 393 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 2: candidates for the twenty twenty four lections. 394 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 3: I think they struggle in a seat like that. You know, 395 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 3: if there's Dion what's his name, d Duran. If Duran 396 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 3: sort of gets in and establishes himself a little bit, 397 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: it'll be very hard to win that seat. 398 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: Ye Hey, one thing I want to ask you both 399 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: very quickly about we just caught up a little while 400 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: ago with Kay Densley from the CPSU and this situation 401 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: with the public service wage freeze, Well it's at a 402 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: stand still, no doubt about it. She says that the 403 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Chief Minister isn't meeting with them on this pay freeze. 404 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: Obviously they are concerned about the fact that that there's 405 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: only that one thousand dollars annual bonus on the table. 406 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: She said ninety eight percent of those surveyed members had 407 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: voted to reject the government's terms on this pay freeze. 408 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: I mean, really, do they need. 409 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: To just cash Cora? Amazing? They all voted that they 410 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: should get a pay rise. Who would have thought? Who 411 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 3: would have thought? This can be a bliek Densley. You know, 412 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 3: she's got to be out there telling everyone, look at 413 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 3: my members, they all voted to get a pay rise 414 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 3: and they're not getting one. 415 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: Need to just cop it here? Or on the other 416 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: side of things, do we need to sort of go on? 417 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: But her labor mates have cranked up nine billion dollars 418 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 3: worth of debt.

They're always better off under labor than 445 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: the other one.
