1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: We do know that the COLP is planning to well 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: get the ball rolling when it comes to moving a 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: motion of no confidence against the government when Parliament sits today. 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: Now my understanding is that it's not going to be debated, 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: of course this week. They have to bring the motion forward. 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: It then wouldn't even happen until March. Now joining me 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: in the studio to give us a bit of background, 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: I think and explain how it works is former politician 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: many of you will know, Jerry would Good morning to you, Jerry. 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: Good morning Katie. 11 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: Now Jerry. In terms of this vote of no confidence? 12 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: Have we had many of them in the Northern Territory before? 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 3: I think only two people with a memory going further 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 3: back may may know of another one. But no, there 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 3: was the one in my time with Paul Henderson, and 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 3: there was one that Michael going to put through against 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: the Giles government, and I think two thousand and nineteen 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: or eighteen somewhere there, Yeah, nineteen, I think it might 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: have been. 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: It might have been earlier than that that day, I 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: might have but out there now. 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: The one that happened while Paul Henderson was in power 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: was a really interesting one because you were actually required 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: then to sort of, you know, to determine the balance 25 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: of power, weren't you. 26 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 3: Yes, it was probably one of the hardest times in 27 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: my life in politics. I were criticized from some quarters 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: and probably praised from a few other quarters. But it 29 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: was a very difficult time, and without going through all 30 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: the reasoning. 31 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: One of the reasons, which. 32 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 3: Is a problem that the CLP might just say, for arguments, 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 3: say they won the vote of no confidence, is that 34 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: in my case, I would have had the form a 35 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: government not only with the CLP at that time, but 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 3: with also Alison Anderson, which would have mean that I 37 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 3: would have had to come to some sort of agreement 38 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: with her about various issues. 39 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: And I actually didn't think that we were going to meet. 40 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: And agree on many things at that time, and I 41 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: thought that would more that would be an unstable government 42 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: as well. But that's only part of the reason. That's 43 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: people don't say that's the main reason. There are plenty 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: of other reasons. But the COLP, if it say, for arguments, 45 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: they did win that vote, then you would have to 46 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 3: have a minority government because hasn't got a majority of 47 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: its own party in parliament, so we'd have to add 48 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: the three independence and get someone else to join, and 49 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 3: they would have to agree to form some form of coalition. 50 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: And this is sort of the very interesting thing that 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, last week obviously, when the opposition leader said 52 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: that she was going to be doing this, you go, well, 53 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that are incredibly frustrated 54 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: with the Northern Territory government's response to crime. But a 55 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: vote of no confidence then is, you know, is a 56 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: whole extra step. And I know that we've had plenty 57 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: of people saying, hey, I support this, so I think 58 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: it needs to happen. But talk me through what the 59 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: process actually has to be when it's you know, in parliament, Jarah. 60 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: Well, I think, as I think Leah said the other day, 61 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: you've got to wait so many days before you can 62 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: introduce it. 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: Then there's a debate on it, and then well a 64 00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: vote on. 65 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: The problem is that the numbers aren't there, and so 66 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: it ends up like I suppose any other debate you 67 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 3: can have in parliament, because there are other ways of 68 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 3: doing things and looking vote of no confidence as a 69 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: serious vote. And obviously by saying you're going to have 70 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: a vote of no confidence, you're saying to the government, 71 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: we think you're in big trouble and you're not doing 72 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: your job. 73 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: But there are a couple other ways. 74 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: For instance, during question time, and what governments used to 75 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 3: what oppositions used to do, is you'd see them line 76 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: up a whole series of questions which would have a 77 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: particular flavor, and towards the end of question time, and 78 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: sometimes in the middle of the question time they stop 79 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: for everything and say we're going to censer the government. 80 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: I used to get annoyed that because I couldn't ask 81 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: any more questions of my own because they were running 82 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: their own agenda. But what normally happened was government would 83 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: accept that sense of motion and then you would have 84 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 3: a debate on the sensu motion. Now the government still 85 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: had some control because they could get up an amend 86 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: the sense of motion to turn it on upside down, 87 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: and you'd be arguing that things were terrific, when the 88 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: oppositions saying things weren't. But that's one area that the 89 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: opposition can get up and debate serious issues. 90 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: And that's something that the files government really haven't allowed 91 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: to happen on the place. 92 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: And that's what partly worries me that the whole process 93 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: in government nowadays is very tightly controlled by the government. 94 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: So you know, the saddest thing for me in the 95 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: way things are the government got rid of scrutiny committees, 96 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: and scrutiny committee were really important in a unicameral parliament. 97 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: We copied what happened in Queensland. In fact, Natasha Files 98 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 3: is a great supporter of the Scrutiny Committee. When you 99 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 3: read the speech when they came in and they scrapped them, 100 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: and they were way of including the community in the 101 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 3: decision making process and opening up Parliament to the people, 102 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: which is what Labour's policy was opening out Parliament's people. 103 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: That's gone exactly the other way. They're closing Parliament to 104 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 3: the people by reducing the opportunities to do things. Now 105 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 3: one of the other ones, and people might remember that 106 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 3: we did have a Council of Territory Cooperation. Now it 107 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: worked for a while and it had its problems, but 108 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: it was trying to join both sides of Parliament together 109 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: to look at issues and it was able to do it. 110 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 2: This is a different thing. It was able to do 111 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: it on its own motion. 112 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: It did not need approval from the government, or did 113 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: not approval from the legs of Assembly could get that 114 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: if they wanted to. But we now have a Public 115 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 3: Amounts Committee, which was a part of that was changed 116 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: to copy the Council of Territory Cooperation, except it couldn't 117 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: do it unless the government allowed it to do it. 118 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: So it could look at anything it wanted to. But 119 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: if the government said, well, we don't want that to happen, 120 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: then it didn't happen. So the Public Accounts Committee theoretically 121 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: could look at, say, an issue that's around at the 122 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 3: moment's a bit of issues about landing clearing, for instance, 123 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 3: and the governments and what the government could do say well, 124 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: we're going to put this issue out to the Public 125 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 3: Accounts Committee, because it doesn't look just at accounts if 126 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: you read what they're allowed to do. So we could 127 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: get in the part Ustill Board could get in, the 128 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: Environment Center could get in, some of the media who 129 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: could get in, a range of farmers, a whole group 130 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: of people could be asked to present themselves to their 131 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: Public Accounts Committee, had public forums to talk about the issue. 132 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 3: Now that's the actual that's to me is really what 133 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 3: Parliament's about. It's including the people. It's discussing an issue 134 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 3: that is a topic that's important, and it's allowing people 135 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: to hear both sides of the argument and actually try 136 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: and get to the truth. Is this the media beat 137 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: up or is actually a real issue, So. 138 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: We're not allowing that yet. It also, governments can make statements. 139 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: Now you look in the Standing Orders ament, minister used 140 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 3: to get up and make statements. They used to make 141 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 3: them off and sometimes they used to do it so 142 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 3: they could fill in time when they didn't have a 143 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 3: lot of work to do in Parliament. But a minister 144 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 3: for say, agriculture might get up and talk about the 145 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: cotton industry, might get up talk about mining, might talk 146 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 3: about something else, social crime, and they would make that statement. 147 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: They can talk for quite a while and then everybody 148 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: in Parliament actually can give their opinion on that statement. Now, 149 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: I don't know whether that's happened very often, but that 150 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: is a way that then you create debate. But the 151 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: government's got to be brave enough to say, well, we're 152 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: going to put this issue out and will allow the 153 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: parliament to debate it. 154 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: Because to meet parliament. 155 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: I remember myself looking at pictures of the Roman You 156 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: know the senators all in there, I call them their sheets, 157 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 3: but you know they used their parliament to debate issues, 158 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: and we really need to make sure that our parliament 159 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: is open to discuss in these difficult issues. 160 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't think it does so much. 161 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: I think that is such an important point to make, Jerry, 162 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: because that's people feel like they're not being listened to 163 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: at the moment. 164 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: And that's why you had the scrutiny committees. 165 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: I mean, we're involved in I'm just trying to think 166 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: the issues that. 167 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: We looked at SI hit program. 168 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: So we went out and looked at all the issues 169 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: about how many you know, the houses where they are built, 170 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: whether they are on Groode Island, whether what I were 171 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: at Man and greeted. We went out and investigated all 172 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: those things. We looked at the remember the cattle issue 173 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: at Mataranka. We had public meetings at Mataranka. People able 174 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: to come to that meeting and say what they thought. Yeah, 175 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 3: there was a blackout with the gas power stations lost there. Yeah, yeah, 176 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 3: and that was and that was brought on by the 177 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: opposition who didn't like the Council of Territory cooperation, but 178 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: when they had an opportunity to use it, they loved it. Yeah, 179 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: And so they're the things that I thought that made 180 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: Parliament vibrant. It wasn't just you know, we sit there 181 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: and there's better legislation and we go home. You actually 182 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 3: included people this in the discussions. Whether you agree with 183 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 3: them or not was irrelevant, but you heard people's views. 184 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so just you know, just in sort of 185 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: closing with the with this vote of no confidence or 186 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: this motion of no confidence that the COLP is trying 187 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: to push through with. There does sound like these other 188 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: options in terms of you know, the Council of Territory 189 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: cooperation is something that we used to have here in 190 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: the Northern Territory as well as those select committees. Are 191 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: there other options inside of parliament? You know, like the 192 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: matter of public importance? I know you said the sense 193 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: of motion, but that it does sound like there's other 194 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: things that the opposition could be doing at this point 195 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: to make sure that this issue is heard now. 196 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: Well, matter of public importance is an option. It depends 197 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: if there are other matters of public importance on a paper, 198 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: because you only get one. So I know when I 199 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: had one, I think Lea came around to my door 200 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: and said, can we have ours before yours so you 201 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: can do negotiations. So it is an option, and I 202 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: think the government itself needs to be more able. Why 203 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 3: don't you make a statement on the alcohol issues in 204 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 3: our springs or alcohol in general, or you know, the 205 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: crime problems. You've got makea statement and then Leah can 206 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: get up and make a response, and each member if 207 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 3: they want to. And it doesn't always happen as long 208 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: as government doesn't shorten it, because sometimes they can shorten it. 209 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: They get an agreement used to happen between the opposition 210 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: and the government. Sometimes say well it only allowed speakers. 211 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: I just get annoy you, so we'll hang out. I'd 212 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: like to speak. Yeah, So I sometimes think they should 213 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: be open to everybody having an opportunity to speak on 214 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 3: those issues. 215 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: So, yes, there are other ways. 216 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, when you look at it, except for the matter 217 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: of public importance, the government has some control able what happened. 218 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: But if the government, as I said, was open and transparent, 219 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: let the sensor motion run. 220 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 2: Let it run. 221 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: And if you've got the good story that you say 222 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 3: you have, explain it to people. 223 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: Jerry Wood a man of wisdom as always, and that 224 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: knowledge that we actually need. I really appreciate you coming 225 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: in this morning. As always, I want to try and 226 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: catch up with you a little bit more often when 227 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: Parliament is sitting. I'm keen to have Gary Higgins come 228 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: on as well if he's keen, and just provide people 229 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: with that bit of background. I think it's really important 230 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: for us to sort of get that understanding. You guys 231 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: have been in there. You've been in there and seen 232 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: the workings of Parliament for such a long time, and 233 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: it's good for Territorians to understand exactly what is going on. 234 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: Thanks Katie, I'll go home and get my feet back 235 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 3: on the ground and we we need some more plans 236 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 3: out for all this rain. 237 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: Good on you. Thanks so much for your time this morning. 238 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: General, I appreciate it. You
