7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: up of the springs.

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: It seems that way, doesn't I don't know where to

00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: go to next, Damian. How are you guys going in

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Alice Springs? Well, almost today into lockdown.

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: I look the all of the frontline workers are doing

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 2: a terrific job in assisting everybody across Alice Springs. There

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: was a bit of panic buying yesterday happen then when

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: the lockdown was first called. And you know, I'll take

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: this opportunity to call on people to understand, no matter

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: where you are the Jersey, if facing a lockdown, that

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: we don't have any dramas on our food chain supply

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: this day. So just you respect those people who work

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: in those shops and just take it a bit easier. Yes,

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: it was crazy, no different to day and earlier in

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: the week, but other than that's pretty quiet town this morning.

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Old Bess, what was the reaction when everybody found

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: out that you know that you'd be heading into lockdown

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: and that the airport was an exposure site.

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, you take the advice the Chief Medical officer.

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: We had all heard of what had happened at the

27
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: Granite gold mine late last week and not realizing i mean,

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: the authorities were tracking people all over the country. Then

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: to learn yesterday that one of the people involved had

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: been at the Yellow Springs airport and it's always concerned.

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: We're very lucky that was combined to the airport as

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: we haven't heard any others at this stage, so that

33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: was a good setup. But it is impingement on business,

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: on people. I mean there's a lot of disgruntled people

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: yesterday around the fact that there would be no fireworks

36
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: today or tonight with Territory Day just that's not been canceled,

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: that's been postponed. The next event that was disappointing was

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: this morning there about sixty people ready to receive their citizenship.

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 2: Well that was canceled, which is something that counsel doues,

40
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: but that was canceled by the Department in Canberra yesterday.

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: We then have the show this weekend and we didn't

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: have one last year and we're not going to have

43
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 2: one this year. That was canned twenty four hours ago

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: or so, as far as counsel's concerned, we're working with

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: the authorities. We have closed our library until Monday, can

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: leads a sent until Monday. Also the fact that our

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: landfill or waste management is closed to private people till Monday,

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: but the collection of household rubbish, the curbsite collection continues,

49
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: so people don't need to be concerned about that.

50
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Well, that is good to hear, but by the sounds

51
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: of it, Diamien, everything has sort of calmed down a

52
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: little bit, and no doubt you'll all just be hoping

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: that this goes nice and smoothly. When are you due

54
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: to come out of lockdown?

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: Seventy two hours it was put down for so Saturday.

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: You know, at this stage we look right at this moment,

57
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: there's another Southern Region emergency meeting going on. These are

58
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: working right through. Our council attends that we do whatever

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: is asked of us. So at this stage you look

60
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: out your window and it's a blue sky and a

61
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: beautiful day, but you understand it that everybody's been locked

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: away for seventy two hours. So it's tough on some

63
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: and not on others. So yeah, you just you look

64
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: after your household, you look after your family, and you

65
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: respect the five rules that have been put in place.

66
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: You know, only go out if you're going for a

67
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: test or a jab. Do your shopping, but only one

68
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: at a time, don't take the whole family were a mask.

69
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: You are allowed out for exercise for an hour a

70
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: day with your mask. Yep. And so it's just you know,

71
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: you pay attention to those rules. We'll all come through.

72
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly right. And Damian Ryan, we know that

73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: all of those rules relating to us here in Darwin

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: at the moment as well. We really appreciate your time

75
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: this morning. All the best and I hope you get

76
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: through lockdown and these minimal impact to Alice Springs.

77
