1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: In the studio with us this morning.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: The Lord Mayor of Darwin conbat scarlets and he came

00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: bearing gifts today.

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 1: Good morning, gone.

5
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 3: Well, I just gave you the one thousand and one

6
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 3: tree because we gave another thousand middle bitch last weekend

7
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 3: and that was really could turn out. So another thousand

8
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 3: trees gone to the urban forest in Darwin. And of

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 3: course two little robots because it's Science Week and we

10
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: invite all kids from all schools to participate. Yes, there

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: were about forty kids in the civic center playing on

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 3: the floor and I have to say I did a

13
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 3: go to with the trains, robots, robot trains, robot cleaners.

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 3: You just got the robot cleaner. It's a great idea.

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: Bring the kids along. Talk to your school. We're always

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: happy to help.

17
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon, it is fantastic.

18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: And you know, for the kids to have a bit

19
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: of fun with science and with their education is a

20
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: wonderful way to endang.

21
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: The next scientist famous all over the world might be

22
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: the one who came to the Civic Center in Darwin.

23
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. You never know, is there a bit

24
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: on for Science Week from the castles?

25
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: We need to know all the tales because I don't

26
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: have all the interior with me. Go to us face

27
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: to our web website and you find all the details there.

28
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,360

00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: and dad to take you there.

30
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: Hey, conn Before I get into some of the other

31
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: issues of the week, can I ask is the council

32
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: still lit up for the Matilda's or are you gonna

33
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: be tomorrow night?

34
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: What's the plans?

35
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: You see? What's going to happen tomorrow tomorrow night? Is

36
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 4: it going to be green and gold? Is going to be? Often?

37
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 4: It will be green and gold?

38
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: I keep my fingers closed hours in Litzfield on Saturday

39
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: and I went straight back to the caravan park tent

40
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: television on watching the Matildas.

41
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: What again?

42
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: What again? What a game? My fingernails, I tell you what.

43
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: I was stressed watching that on.

44
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: SEGN soccer or football the real football.

45
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: No, I'm well, I take my kids there every weekend,

46
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: so we've been doing it for a while. But it's

47
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: just been phenomenal to watch it is. Honestly, it's been incredible.

48
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: They've done such a phenomenal job and hopefully we have

49
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: another win tomorrow night.

50
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Now Corn I do want to ask you.

51
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: It's been reported in the Inte News this morning that

52
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: the City of Darwin orldman is seething after being handed

53
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: a Code of Conduct warning after a social media post

54
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: lyones Lord Alderman Amy Uhn said that she was being

55
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: bullied and her basic rights ignored after receiving the Code

56
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: of interest from the City of Darwin Chief Executive Simone

57
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: Saunders on Friday. So the social media post followed a

58
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: report in the Northern Territory News in June that revealed

59
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: retired Alderman Paul Arnold had received a one hundred thousand

60
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: dollars Northern Territory government grant to expand his Smith Street

61
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: gallery several weeks after he was issued with a domestic

62
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: violence order.

63
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: Well, I'm very disappointed with counsel Un going to the

64
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: media and creating a story out of nor story. First

65
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: of all, counsel Un was never bullied. Counsel on Un

66
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 3: was given an email by the CEO that will draw

67
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: your attention to the post that can create potential serious

68
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: problem for cash Un. First of all, in here Facebook

69
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 3: post his calls from now on, I like to make

70
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: friends with mister al Keby and other zombies. I consider

71
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: that totally unacceptable for an elected member to call a

72
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: minis of the crown.

73
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: Does matter who is a zombie.

74
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: Second, she creates problems from herself because says split one

75
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars grant to ten thousand dollars to give

76
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: to its business. Considering that council owns, goored a business yourself,

77
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: people can perceive that's actually there's a conflict of vendors

78
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: there because you ask it for ten thousand dollars given

79
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: to business. Is that include your own business? And of

80
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: course the other thing is which is the most important.

81
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: The CEO did what the CEO is expected to do legally. See,

82
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: he has to advise an elected member, any elected member,

83
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: and she has done that in the past.

84
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: If there is a problem with.

85
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: The social posts, there is a policy on social media

86
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: which has been put to the council. Council adopted it,

87
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: accepted it, and Council UN voted for it. So council

88
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: will vote for a pology that. Now she's in Bridge

89
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: and now when the CEO brings that to her attention,

90
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: she screened blue murder that's been bullied. The Council UN

91
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: was not bullied casual as a matter of fact, came

92
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: to my office and she has showed my advice on

93
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: this issue. And I assure here this is not a

94
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: form of complaint. We have received complain but the last

95
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: thing we need is because of this post to receive

96
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: a complaint. So my recommendation was to hear, go back,

97
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: look at your post and my advice is take it down.

98
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: But the point that you might dea about whether it's

99
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: a conflict of interest for her to be saying, you know,

100
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: these one hundred thousand dollar grants could then go to

101
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: ten different businesses around the city. I mean, was it

102
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: a conflict of interest in the first place that Paul

103
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Arnold did receive one hundred thousand dollars grant.

104
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: Well, have to remember that these applications are going a

105
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: long long time before and the decision made. Now the

106
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: fact that was granted after he was issued with DV

107
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: oh it's irrelevant for the same reason and DVO may

108
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: be issues irrelevant well, Paul Arnold, he has been found

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: guilt in the court of law. Paul Arnold is still innocent.

110
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: That's what happens in Australia now until and the minister

111
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: when he gets the application probably received it about six

112
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: months before Paul was handed the DVO. I mean, you

113
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: don't examine if people had fines or anything else. The

114
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: divo might be valid and I have no idea about it,

115
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 3: or might be thrown out of court. So my problem

116
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: is and I said to her, be very careful what

117
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: you put because when you're an elected member, you're an

118
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: elected member. I mean, we see the argument with the

119
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: Chief Minister now all the UNDI frager says, Oh no,

120
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: it's we're entitled to actually protest in her house and

121
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: everywhere else because of a public.

122
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: Person, even in her private life. That's what I said

123
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: to her.

124
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: When we're elected and we make a comment, they don't

125
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: say convicts college did They said the Lord Mayor made

126
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: a comment, not counselor not Amune coultural.

127
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: Or Oh she's told the NT News that she feels

128
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: bullied and belittled by the City of Darwin and the

129
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: social media posts should not be impacted, should not be

130
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: impacted by a code of conduct because it was on

131
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: her personal Facebook account.

132
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: The policy in the Council, which Councilor Wull voted for,

133
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: specifically says that even private postings are subject to the policy,

134
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: so you can't have it both ways.

135
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: So, based on what I'm reading here, it is the

136
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: second time she said, it's the second time that she's

137
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: been accused of violating Council's Code of conduct. What happens

138
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: if he continue to violate us?

139
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is if we receive a complaint, then

140
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: we have to start the process of a bridge of

141
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: cond of conduct. The cont of contact is legislated by

142
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: the Act. It's nothing to do with the Council. We

143
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: have to do it every single elected member in the territory.

144
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: It's subject to the Court of Conduct. Now, the fact

145
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: that she bridged the policy, it's actually bridging the cond

146
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: of conduct. We can actually escalate it. But again as

147
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: to hear being stood down, no, she can be reprimanded,

148
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 3: so she can lose a salary or anything else. It

149
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: depends on the seriousness. But again there's not a reason

150
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: to be there. Be careful what you put in your

151
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: social posts. The social post read by everybody, and then

152
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: don't read us, Katie Wolf. They read it us one

153
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: go four point nine presender send it and you try

154
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: to tell that so was my private conduct. Bravid comment.

155
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: Good luck to you. My comment is she was never bulleted.

156
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: She received a friendly advice as required to do the

157
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: CEO required to do. And the CEO has done that

158
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: in the past to other people that actually they had

159
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,680
