1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Live this morning from Berry Springs for the world famous 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Crocodile Races. And joining me on the line this morning 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: is the Opposition leader Selena Yubo. 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Selena. 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 3: Good morning to you, Katie, Good morning to listeners. And 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 3: hope everyone gets a little bit of luck if they're 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 3: having a punch today for the Melbourne Cup. 8 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to get your tips later on, Selena, if 9 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: you've got any, But first off, let's talk about the 10 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: really serious issue that is unfolding well overnight. We know 11 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: that a code yellow has been called at both Royal 12 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: Darwin and Palmerston Hospital due to an increase in the 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: number of patients requiring acute care. NT Health has highlighted 14 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: the issue of aged care, with forty four patients currently 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: occupying beads in hospital due to no aged care facility. Selena, 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: we know that the EOI went out towards the end 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: of last week. I believe it was for the age 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: care facility, the new Age Care facility. But first off, 19 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: can I just get your reaction to these code yellows 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: being called. 21 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: Code yellows, as we know, is a tool for our 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: medical professionals to manage some of those pressures like what 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: we've seen just recently, and I think it's a good 24 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: thing to show and highlight that there are processes in 25 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: place to make sure that Territorians who are receiving health 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 3: care through our system are looked after and a prioritizer 27 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: just as they should be by our medical professionals. Unfortunately, 28 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 3: in the last term when labors in government, the opposition 29 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,639 Speaker 3: the CLP, did politicize code yellows. We're not interested in that, Katie. 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 3: We just want to make sure people get the care 31 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: that they need through our health care and that our 32 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 3: professionals get the support in some very pressurized and very 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: difficult circumstances and sometimes very complex circumstances in caring for Territorians. 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: So we're not interested in politicizing that from our labor team, Katie. 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: But I think that if there's a way to be 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: able to support and to highlight some of those needs 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: for our professionals in the healthcare system to better support Territorians, 38 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: I think that's a positive. So thank you to those 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: great staff who do an amazing job, not just day in, 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: day out, but especially when there are those pressurized times 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: like there is when they have to call a code yellow. 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, it's a tough one and I agree with you. 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: I think we all need to get on the same 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: page when it comes to health. 45 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: We need well. 46 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, we have heard the AMA week after weeks 47 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: saying that we need additional funding for our Northern Territory hospitals. 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: I mean, this EOI is obviously a good thing. But Selena, 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: there will still be people listening this morning who are 50 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: going We've been in this situation with age care patients 51 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: taking up beds in both Royal Darwin and indeed Palmeston 52 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: Hospital that should have been in an age care. 53 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: Facility years ago. Why didn't Labor act faster? 54 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Katie, some of the work that Labor did when 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 3: we were in government. We allocated twelve million dollars to 56 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: the land servicing and planning in design of a new 57 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: age care facility in and around the Darwin Hospital sorry 58 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 3: Darwin Palmerston Hospital precinct. That money has been scrapped out 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: of the colp's budget. If it's still in there, we'd 60 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: love to see where it is. But I think it's 61 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: highly critical that we see this project move and that 62 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 3: land servicing to be able to prepare, to be able 63 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: to probably people might hate this term, but be shovel 64 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: ready for that very important project for the non territory, 65 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: particularly the top end, which we know has a majority 66 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: of the territory's population in Darwn and Palmerston. Having an 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: age care facility for our seniors territory and so those 68 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: who near that extra care is critical to ensuring that 69 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: their health and wellbeing is looked after. Now that twelve 70 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: million dollars has disappeared under the colp's first budget. 71 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: Love to see and understand why they why they are 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: not putting that money. 73 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: Towards this story. 74 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: Is that what was that twelve million dollars flag for? 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: So it was land servicing and design Katie for the 76 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: age care precinct which was identified the best parcel of 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: land to be able to use and to get that centerut. 78 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: The age care center up and running would be that 79 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: Parmeston Hospital precinct. So that's the money that we allocated 80 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: when Labor was in government. It's now disappeared and being 81 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: cut from the colp's budget, and we find ourselves now 82 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: in a position where the CLP's trying to deflect some 83 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: of that responsibility where they could be doing that preparation 84 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: continuing to focus on an area of significance and particular 85 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 3: concerns for territories, which is age and disability care. So 86 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: I think we need to make sure and put that 87 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: pressure back on the territory government to make sure they're 88 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: doing their bit. We also need the federal government, which 89 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: we've heard some of those allocations around the EOI. I 90 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 3: think that's really important too, But we need to make 91 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 3: sure that all of our governments are working together for 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: that very important facility. 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: All Right, I'll try and find out what the go 94 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: is with that twelve million Selena. We discussed on the 95 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: show yesterday. A maternity forum was held over the weekend. 96 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: Our Birth, Our Voice. It was the community led forum 97 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: for women to share their stories about what families need 98 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: from maternity services in the Northern Territory. I understand you 99 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: were there on the weekend. What did you take from 100 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: that forum? 101 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? I did attend, Katie. I just want to say 102 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 3: that the women who spoke and told their stories some 103 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: you know, very sensitive, very powerful and emotional stories. It 104 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 3: was an honor to be able to hear community members 105 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: share that. Some of the stories were literally heartbreaking, are 106 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: very emotional. But the fact that we've got people not 107 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: just women, but people from across the community here in 108 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: the NT who are wanting to work together for some 109 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: more of that spotlight on maternity services to improve. It's 110 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: not just about the private hospital maternity services closing. That's 111 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: been one big aspect of course, but maternity services across 112 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 3: the Northern Territory need to have more work and more support. 113 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: And I think, you know, whenever there is a grassroots 114 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: and ground ups well than the government, whatever governments they are, 115 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: absolutely have to listen and to take into account. One 116 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: of the huge takeaways from that forum to me, Katie, 117 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: was the real emphasis on continuity of care, which is 118 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 3: basically when women and families are seeing the same doctor, 119 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: same maternity wife, same group of health professionals in their 120 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: pregnancy journey. And that's really important and that came out 121 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: with all of the speakers, with all of the conversations. 122 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 3: So I think more emphasis on there were five key 123 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: priorities for that group, more emphasis on how can government, 124 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: whether it's territory government federal government, support those five key 125 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 3: priorities because they have come directly from the community, Katie. 126 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: It's not a political thing. It comes directly from the 127 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: community and it will affect every single family across the 128 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: non territory. 129 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: Selena as a former health minister and following on from 130 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: the discussions that have been had, you know at that forum, 131 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: but also over the discussions that have been had really 132 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: since the maternity ward at the private hospital close. 133 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: What do you think. 134 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: The reason is that we're seeing the additional pressures on 135 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: maternity services at the hospital. 136 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: At the moment. 137 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I had the health portfolio for eight months. 138 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: Some of the areas that I learned a lot about 139 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: was maternity services. Katie, particularly in regional services across the 140 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: nt Tennant Creek unfortunately doesn't have any maternity services. I'm 141 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: so blessed in Catherine. I've had such amazing care for 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: me and my family with the maternity services in Katherine. 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: I know norlan Boy is a bit of a hub 144 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: for the East Darnham region, but a lot of women 145 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: and families do still need to go either to Katherine 146 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: or Darwin to birth. And then we have that great 147 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: regional hospital there in Palmerston which does have some great facilities, 148 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: but unfortunately not the staffing to be able to have 149 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: the birthing suites available in Arleston to perhaps take some 150 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: pressure off Darwin so there's a lot of moving parts 151 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: there which I learned in a very short amount of time. 152 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: But ultimately, if there's more ways to be able to 153 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: support some of those key priorities which have come through 154 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: the Our Birth, Our Voice forums and again from families 155 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: and professional who are involved with their experience some of 156 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: the many decades in maternity service, Katie, being able to 157 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: get some. 158 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 4: Of those medium and long term ass you underway in train, 159 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: I think will make a huge difference not just in 160 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 4: the next year or so, but for maternity services for 161 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: the next couple of decades in the NT. 162 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: I think it's really critical. We want families, we want 163 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: women to feel safe and to be able to birth 164 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 3: here in the Northern Territory, if not at home, close 165 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: to home, if not on country, close to country, I 166 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 3: think this would be something that could really make a 167 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: big difference, not just for our current population, but attracting 168 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 3: people to the territory in the long run as well. 169 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: Selena, a couple of quick ones. 170 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: We know that we've grappled with domestic violence for a 171 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: long time here in the Northern Territory. Now in New 172 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: South Wade, survivors of domestic and family violence are going 173 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: to be able to receive an alert when an alleged 174 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: perpetrator is released from custody. It's part of a new 175 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: digital pilot program to launch in New South Wales now. 176 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: According to the ABC DV Notify, it's a joint federal 177 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: and state government led initiative. It's going to provide real 178 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: time text and email updates from the time that a 179 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: violent offenders arrested through to their final sentencing. Now. The 180 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: app was developed with input from victim survivors to ensure 181 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: that it was trauma informed, victim centered and culturally responsive. 182 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: The Chief Minister said on the show yesterday this is 183 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: something that she will consider. Do you think that it 184 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: could be an effective move? 185 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: I think this is an interesting one, Katie. I think 186 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: a territory trial could be quite a positive way to 187 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 3: be able to support victim survivors. Of course, if we're 188 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: looking at something that comes from another jurisdiction, we always 189 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 3: need to keep in mind the Northern Territories context, particularly 190 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: the remoteness and being able to communicate with people not 191 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: just because of distance, but also in first language, whether 192 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: that's a multicultural language, whether that's the First Nations language, 193 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: where that's English, and being able to really tailor something 194 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: here in the NT. So if that's something that the 195 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 3: CLP government is willing to look at, that would be 196 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 3: very open to being able to support, provided it is 197 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: appropriate for the Northern Territory. 198 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 2: All right, another quick one. 199 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: We know that last week obviously, we learned that a 200 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: parliamentary committee has recommended the Northern Territory government finished building 201 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: the eight hundred and twenty million dollar do In Shiplift project, 202 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: that is, despite holding no right to the revenue that 203 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: it's going to generate. We know that the Public Accounts 204 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: Committee released its report into the embattled shiplift on Thursday, 205 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: providing five recommendations, including the project proceed with stricter cost 206 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: controls Selena. How was the shiplift able to get to 207 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: this point under labor. 208 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 3: Katie? Obviously, the shiplift is a project that has been 209 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: worked on over multiple years. The shiplift will remain a 210 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: government owned asset, so I think in terms of being 211 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 3: able to provide certainty to territories that that particular economy 212 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: economic project will be in territory in's hands. That's the 213 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 3: project that sits before us, unless, of course, the Coop 214 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,359 Speaker 3: decided to change it. It will be a world class facility, 215 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: and the idea of being able to bring in the 216 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 3: dollars through another diversified project for the NT I think 217 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: is a good story for our economy. Being able to 218 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: attract not just a domestic line of work but also 219 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: international you know, defense capability. It will really grow the 220 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: territory in terms of being a world class facility, but 221 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: it will also be a common user facility KD. So 222 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 3: that means there's an opportunity for equal use and fear 223 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: use by service providers, and that's particularly governed by legislation. 224 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: So being able to have the ability to service not 225 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 3: just one exclusive group, but multiple entities that would come 226 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: and use that shiplift, I think is a positive for 227 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: the territory. 228 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: Well, Selena, before I let you go any tips for 229 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: the Melbourne Cup today. 230 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 3: I have to be very honest. I have not even 231 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: looked at any of the races. I'm out traveling in 232 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: Jabaru and listening to stakeholders out here, and I only 233 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: kind of thought of the Melbourne Cup today when I 234 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 3: was listening to some of the different radio stations. So 235 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 3: good luck to everyone who is involved in the punt. 236 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 3: But I'll be saving my dollars, which means that I 237 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: won't be having a flatter today. But I do wish 238 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: they've run all the best of whatever tips that they 239 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 3: may have for today's World Cup. 240 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: I'll give you one hot tip. There is at least 241 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: one female jockey. I know, Rob one of our listeners 242 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: will give me some further information if I'm wrong and 243 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: if there's actually more, but we have got at least 244 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: one female jockey writing half yours if I understand correctly, 245 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Yes is Jamie Mellum. She is writing half yours, So 246 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: that might be where you have a look. Although Selena, 247 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like you're heading to theda b anytime soon. 248 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: If you're at. 249 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: Anything to get you know, to support women in the 250 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: great professions that they lead. I think it's great that 251 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 3: I did hear an interview with that jockey yesterday, so 252 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 3: that was pretty cool hearing about the you know what 253 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: they're getting ready for. It's the big day today, so yeah, home, 254 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 3: everyone has a great flutter and I know there's croc 255 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 3: races and frog races all over the territory.
