1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: The Lord Mayor of Darwin convat Scarlets. Good morning to you, Corn.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 2: Good morning and how are you today? Oh?

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 3: Well, very well.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: I did choke when I was opening the show this morning,

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: couldn't stop coughing.

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 3: But I've recovered corn and I'm ready to goe.

7
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: Well, quite a few people out there with the flu.

8
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: I don't have that, and some of them with COVID

9
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: councilors they didn't come yet.

10
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: Well I'm fortunate that I don't have either of those.

11
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: But good.

12
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: I do think that the dry weather and the fire

13
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: is about it just plying up.

14
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: But the good thing is the weather still holding me exactly.

15
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: It's really good.

16
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: That's right.

17
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: Before you ask me a question, I just would say

18
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: something the bridge in Rapid Creek that there has been

19
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: an issue believed or not. We had somebody with the

20
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: ankle grinder cutting off the locks and everything else. I mean,

21
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what. People doesn't understand that the bridge

22
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: actually has some serious damage that's been identified by the engineers.

23
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: But the council are working very quickly to fix it.

24
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 2: The problem we've got is we have to deal with

25
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: it because the very environmental sensitive area, whether they not

26
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: the territory government or resources. They have to do an investigation,

27
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: they have to provide an assessment to us about environmental impact.

28
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: At the same time, we've got an engineer looking at

29
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: the bridge and providing solutions with three Within three weeks

30
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: we know exactly if this bridge can be rescued or

31
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: has to be dismalked, taken away and you want to put.

32
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: Back, we all to build another one.

33
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: Look this, it's a very interesting environment. That bridge comes

34
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: underwater regularly during the wet so the impact of the

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: salt on the still is enoms. But we also trying

36
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: to find out if it needs to be fixed, how

37
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: long will take and if it takes too long, can

38
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: we put a temporary bridge there. So countries working actively

39
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: to over the problem. But guys, we live in a

40
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: very interesting environment, very interesting climating environment. It's not everything

41
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: stairs the same. Have we had a big bridge over

42
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Adelaide River had to be completely done, if you remember,

43
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: and people have to divert to Marakai, So be passions

44
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: for a few days. We'll come back to you and

45
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: give you a final answer very.

46
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: Very well, so you reckon.

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: Very soon we'll know whether that bridge needs to be

48
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: replaced or.

49
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: Whether we have the full assessment.

50
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Okay, three weeks time, all right, because I know that

51
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: it's obviously one that gets used very frequently, because we

52
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: have had a lot of people contact us about it

53
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: and unhappy that they're not able to continue using it.

54
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: But counsels onto it. It's going to be a few.

55
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Weeks, okay, So do we actually what council does. Last

56
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: week we gave five hundred plans in Leania, and we

57
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: have more plans to give this Wednesday, twenty fourth of August.

58
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: If you're interested, we're going We've got fifteen hundred plans

59
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: to give out. And if you're interested old macmilland Parks,

60
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: we're actually going to be there and we're going to

61
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: give plans to plant in your gardens and your verges everything.

62
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: Else, good stuff. Well, con I do want to ask you.

63
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: Obviously, you and I have been talking for weeks and

64
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: weeks about the situation with anti social behavior. I understand

65
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: that you've now had a meeting with the Chief Minister.

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the good news is actually people start returning

67
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: to their country, and we had another reduction of people

68
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: going back to country. The other good news is I

69
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 2: found out the other day that the policy that was

70
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: in place for all new graduates from the college to

71
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: go down south outside of Darwin has been now reversed.

72
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: New graduates will be staying and be trained in Darwin.

73
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: So it's not happening anymore.

74
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: They're not the big changed which actually appreciate that one.

75
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: The Commissioner, Toll said, stated that publicly the other day

76
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: when I was in Money Greed and he was there,

77
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: and I'm really appreciative. That means quite a few people

78
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: will be on the streets of Darwin, and I expect

79
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: that to happen. The other good news is the Chief

80
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: Minister is quite aware of the situation. She's quite alarmed.

81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: She also understands the impact that this enormous presence got

82
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: on our city. So I asked the previous Chief Minister,

83
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Michael Ganner, to give me money to create a clean

84
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: army to actually clean the city. He was very positive

85
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: on that one. But we have another solution now, similar

86
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: to the ones that have got in Alice Springs. They

87
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: will be using work groups from the prison that they

88
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: would be going out and do the clean up. So

89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: that what the Chief Minister advised me yesterday, and Chief

90
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Minister's keeping your world. That one. In other Springs. They've

91
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: got a new arrangement and an MoU signed with the

92
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: council there, and I expect the same thing to happen.

93
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: So there's going to be work groups from the prison

94
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: cleaning up different areas of the city.

95
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: How soon is that going to get underway?

96
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: Well, as soon as we signed the MoU. I mean

97
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: that has to be drafted and it's not going to

98
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: be difficult. If there is one with Alice Springs Street Council.

99
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: I can't see why we can't use that template to

100
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: do it here.

101
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: So con when you look at the anti social behavior,

102
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: do you think that there's been improvement over the last

103
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: week or se No.

104
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: I think we've still got problems. I mean it's even

105
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: the police themselves that tell me. They tell me they've

106
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: got problems. We've got the combined situation of people coming

107
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: out from communities. Then you've got the young kids run

108
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: a mac And I hate to be controversial here because

109
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: I know there's a call of lifting the edge of

110
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: responsibility because the kids are too young and they don't

111
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: know what they're doing. Well, if there is putting the

112
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: T shirts over their faces too so they are not recognized,

113
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: there must be no they know they're doing something that's wrong.

114
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: So it's a dispute there. But one thing I wouldn't

115
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: dispute is you don't put ten year old kids in prison.

116
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: That's a no no, This is not the place for

117
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: them to be. The interesting thing when I was in

118
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: money Grida and talking to the Money Grida mayor there,

119
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: he suggested, why wouldn't establish some work camps in communities

120
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: and these youth offenders can be there. They can be

121
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: supervised by the police and people in the communities, and

122
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: they can be used to clean the communities or do

123
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: some work around the community.

124
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Get the kids out working as we absolutely I think

125
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: many you can't get.

126
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: Them to go to school, though, how are you going

127
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: to get them to go to work?

128
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: If they get an incentive life, you've got five four

129
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: month sentence. If you actually do that one, you get

130
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: a discount on your sidence. I think some of them

131
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: smart enough to realize, well, if I can spend so

132
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: much time there, I can get out quicker. The other thing,

133
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: of course, is it's not down dale, it's not a condition.

134
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: It's not television. Get bored. He's actually doing something. He

135
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: might click that, Oh do I want to be here again.

136
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: Well they got it.

137
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: Look, they're certainly different kind of suggestions. But I suppose

138
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: it's going to come down to the the government wants

139
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: to do the more nors.

140
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: Everybody comes with problems. Yeah, can somebody come with some solutions.

141
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: I mean, my other solution is get them to school.

142
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 2: Tell them you've got five months sentence if you finish

143
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: your school or certificate one of the school, read and

144
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: write and everything else in foremosts you get out. I

145
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: think kids are pretty smart. Very quickly. We realize if

146
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: I and then if they can learn read and write,

147
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: if they get something, if they get a trade, learn

148
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: the trade. I think that will be a benefit to

149
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: them and to the community.

150
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: Can you know one of the things that council has

151
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: obviously got that control over though, is some of the lighting.

152
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: Have you had a bit of a closer look at

153
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: the moment.

154
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: Look, we have to put lights on streets that comply

155
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: with the Australian standards. We can't go lower. But at

156
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: the same time, now let's find out if the lights

157
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: we put in some parks are obstructed by vegetation. Can

158
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: we trim the trees, can we actually put them higher?

159
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: Can put with a different locations. Currently we're undertaking an

160

Speaker 2: and very soon will know if they are efficient, if

163
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: they work. Interestingly, we change the lighting at the mall.

164
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: Before we had it from the ground up, they used

165
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: to cut them. Now we actually put them up two

166
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: meters two months now. They haven't been touched, but the

167

00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 2: you've got loose in your yard. And if there's a cyclone,

195
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: it's going to be a missile landing probably somebody lunch

196
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: room or bedroom. So if you've got these kind of

Speaker 2: The only one will start collecting from the fifth of September.

204
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,600

209
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: something that's actually usable, put it aside, because we try

210
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 2: not to put them on in the same truck. We

211
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: keep them aside and we pick them up and we

212
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: return them to HPA, and then that can be actually recycled.

213
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, if you go there, you

214
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: can find some really good bargains. I went the other

215
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: day to announce the precycling cleanup and I found a

216
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: brilliant set of speakers form my computer that you buy

217
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: about three hundred dollars in the shop. I picked them

218
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: up for fifty bucks and I worked there absolutely absolutely,

219
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,720

220
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: can find some really good stuff in HPA. But the

221
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: important thing cycling cleanup that all bike sitting in your yard,

00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: so people know what you wants.

242
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,160

00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: the mayor, I said that enough, we spent what we

244
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: have to spend the CBD, but we have to spend

245
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: the suburbs have been neglected in the past few years.

246
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: Early Park is one of these places that had nothing.

247
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,920
