I'm not too sure what we've 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: done wrong there, and we'll give it another crack one 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: moment for me. I believe I've got the commissioner on 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: the line now, Good morning, Kursten, can you hear me? Okay, 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: we don't seem to. I'm not too sure what's going 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: on there, so we'll see if we can get things 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: sorted out and go from there. 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: Hopefully I've got to Now I'll try one last time. 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Actually, no, we're gonna have to get her back on 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: the line unfortunately, so we'll give that a crack again 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: in a moment. Just having some tech issues in here 16 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: early this morning, so hopefully I'm able to get the 17 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: commissioner back online sooner rather than later, because as I said, 18 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: we know that early voting has indeed opened. Sounds like 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: it's not without a couple of hiccups by the sound 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: of things. Earlier this morning, there was a bit of 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: an issue in terms of the Electoral commission staff waiting 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: to get things We're waiting to get things up and running. 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: So we'll see if we can find out some further 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: detail throughout this morning. But I believe I've got the 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: Electoral Commissioner, Kirsten Kelly on the line now, Good morning 26 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: to you, Commissioner. 27 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: Good morning Katie. 28 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: Sorry about that, I was having some tech issues. 29 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: Now we know that early voting has opened this morning. 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: How are things going from your perspective? We had heard 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: there might have been a few issues a little earlier 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: on at the entertainment center, people waiting outside to vote. 33 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: I'm not aware of that, but I can find out 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: more details about that. But early voting has started at 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: eight o'clock this morning right across the Northern Territory. 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: So whereabouts can you vote? 37 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: To those listening this morning, sort of around Darwin, Palmerston 38 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: and out in. 39 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: The rural area. 40 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely so. If you are in Darwin, the Darwen 41 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: Entertainment Center is nearly voting center, as is the Casarina Library. 42 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: If you're at Palmerston, the Palmston Recreational Center is your 43 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: early voting center. If you're in Dawn, rural cooling. A 44 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: Central Shopping Center is your early voting center? 45 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: Actually, what about Catherine. 46 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that they've got somewhere where they can vote 47 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: this morning to. 48 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, they do, so Catherine Shopping Center is the early 49 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: voting center. So Catherine Central Shopping Center is the early 50 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: voting center for Catherine residents. 51 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: And I understand that the Electoral Commission is going to 52 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: publish those numbers in terms of the turnout how many 53 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: people turn out to vote each day, not the numbers 54 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: in terms of who's voting for who. 55 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: But is that usual practice? 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is usual practice. So when people go and 57 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: vote to voting center, they'll see that they have their 58 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: name marked off electronically. It doesn't actually say anything about 59 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: how a person votes. That's totally up to the person 60 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 3: when they go into the voting screen, but it just 61 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: lets us know that who's voted. So every day we 62 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: will publish those statistics by votes by voting center, and 63 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: they're available on the Anti Electoral Commission website as a 64 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: closed of voting today. That data will be available from 65 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: tomorrow and that's usual practice for electoral commissions, and we 66 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: did that for the last local governm elections in twenty 67 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: twenty one and the Charactery election last year. 68 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: Now, Commissioner, I've had a couple of candidates getting contact 69 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: with me this morning saying that the City of Darwin 70 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: wasn't allowing their workers, the candidates or their workers, I 71 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: should say, to hand out how to vote cards on 72 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: their property at Casharina Library or the Darwin Entertainment Center, 73 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: but they'd said Meanwhile, the City of Darwin's website states 74 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: that how to vote cards will be made available on 75 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: desks within the early voting centers. 76 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 2: What's the goal? 77 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: Are people allowed to hand out their how to vote 78 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: the outside of the entertainment center in Casarina. 79 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: So in outside, there's ten meters from the entry to 80 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: the voting center. It's a prohibition zone for campaigning and 81 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: that's under the local government electoral regulations. Outside of that, 82 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: the landowners sometimes proposes additional restrictions on that. So what's 83 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: happened in the City of Darwin has said that for 84 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: the voting period that campaigning outside on council land is 85 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: not permitted. But what they will do is provide a 86 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: table to allow City of Darwin candidates to have their 87 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: how to votes available for voters to pursue on their 88 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: way into the voting center. 89 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and do you know if they've done that 90 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: this morning. 91 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 3: My understanding is is that should be in train. I 92 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: understand that when voting open that they may not have 93 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: been set up, but I've not spoken to City of 94 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 3: Darwin yet, but i expect that would all be in 95 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 3: train now. 96 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: Yep, all right, Now, Commissioner, can I ask are people 97 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: going to be fined if they don't vote at the 98 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: council elections? 99 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: So at the end of the election we'll look to 100 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: see the participation and then will make a decision as 101 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 3: to whether non voters will be issued. We did issue 102 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: non voter fines for the territory election last year, and 103 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 3: what we do is look at the actual data at 104 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: the end of the election and make a decision after that. 105 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: All right. 106 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: We've also had a lot of people questioning the criteria 107 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: around putting your hand up to run. What is the criteria? 108 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: Do people have to pay, you know, like, do they 109 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: have to pay a fee to run? Are they expected 110 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: to get a certain number of votes? What's the situation? 111 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: So in the Northern Territory, there's no nomination fee for 112 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: local government elections, so to be eligible stand as a candidate, 113 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: you have to be an Australian citizen eighteen years or older, 114 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 3: enrolled in to vote in the local government area that 115 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 3: you're intending to nominate for, and reside in that local 116 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: government area. You also need to meet criterion and sign 117 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 3: a declaration regarding debts due to council bankruptcy and things 118 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: like that as part of the nomination. So at this 119 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: stage there's no nomination fee for the Northern Territory Local 120 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: Government Act. 121 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: Yeah right, I wonder if that is. 122 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: I know it's not up to you to determine, but 123 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: I wonder if that is something that needs to be 124 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: considered at some point. 125 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: So in other jurisdictions there are nomination fees for local 126 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: government counselor and or mayor elections and they range from 127 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: one hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars and some 128 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: jurisdictions all so then allow a full refund, you know, 129 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: for example, if four percent of the first preferences are 130 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 3: achieved or someone's elected. So similar to the territory election 131 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: where there is a five hundred dollars candidate nomination fee, 132 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: so it is in other councils across Australia there are 133 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: those nomination fees. And again, if there's a balance there 134 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: between wanting to encourage people to participate as candidates without 135 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 3: that financial burden where you know there may not be 136 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 3: party backing to help support that financially. 137 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, well definitely, I'm sure our listeners will have 138 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: opinions on that, so I'll talk more about that throughout 139 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: this morning. There has also been some quite terrible online trolling, 140 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: some nasty commentary around different candidates. There's also been some 141 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: telling people who to preference. What is the Northern Territory 142 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: Electoral Commission's scope to investigate when it comes to that 143 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: kind of behavior. 144 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: So the position in the Northern Territory is that there's 145 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: no truth in advertising or political advertising laws. But what 146 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: the Northern Territory Electoral Commission will do is is if 147 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 3: there's inaccurate or misinformation about the electoral process, will call 148 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: that out and we'll mark that up on our website 149 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 3: and call that out. With regards to inappropriate comments against Canadids, 150 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: we certainly strongly encourage that not be the case. That 151 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: people actually campaign fairly during the election period, and if 152 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: someone has concerns to please to raise it, we'll raise 153 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: it in the first instance, and we conceive there's something 154 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 3: that can be done and what options might be available, 155 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: but all campaigning material and needs to be authorized, and 156 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: that helps us identify who is making statements and able 157 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: for us to make contact with them. So campaign advertising 158 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: material must be authorized. 159 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: I mean, is it becoming quite difficult to manage in 160 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: some ways in the sense that obviously the local media, 161 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: well whether you're talking state territory, nationally, the media have 162 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: certain guidelines and rules that we have to follow, but 163 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: there's really nothing much stopping people from online, you know, 164 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: really saying whatever they like. 165 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: And I think that's where the approach that a lot 166 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: of electoral commissions take, particularly where there's no truth in 167 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: political advertising laws in places, is empowering electors or people 168 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: looking at that information to determine whether it's factually correct, 169 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: what's the source of the information, is it's reliable, and 170 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: empowering people who are receiving that to question what they're 171 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: seeing and why, what the motive might be of the 172 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 3: person making such statements. And that's really important, and we 173 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: do have resources on the Anti Electoral Commission website to 174 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: support that checking facts and what's reliable information. 175 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: Commissioner there's also been quite a bit of vandalism damage 176 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: to signs.
