1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: And joining us live on the line right now is

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Justine Glover, who is indeed the Independent. Good morning to you, Justine.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie. Thanks for having me on your shown.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us. Now, Justine, we've got

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: seven minutes and a series of questions.

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: Are you ready, I'm definitely ready.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: Let's do it now. Why did you decide to put

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: your hand up to run?

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: So I decided to put my hand up to run

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: after being contacted by many people in the community who

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: said everything is not okay and they're just sick of

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: people not listening. And I myself had been sort of

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: like looking at the new looking around and just in despair,

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: thinking the two party system is not working. Labor and Liberal.

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: You know, they don't represent the people. They're focuses on

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: the party. And so as an independent, I truly believe

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: that I can represent the community and I can make

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: positive change, and that's what this community needs. And as

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: a registered nurse and someone who's worked in health, who's

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: worked in council, and who's lived and worked in Karama,

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm just passionate about standing and I'm excited about the

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: change that can happen in this community.

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: And why do you think you're the best person for

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: the role based on your previous experience in the community

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: and also through your work.

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: So, as I said, I'm a regious nurse. I came

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: up for the one year contract thirty years ago with

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: Health and I've been with Health Force for all that time.

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: During that time, have I've had incredible experience being able

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: to develop leadership skills. I've got a Masters of International Management.

31
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: I've held seen your position. I've got an incredible network

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: of other professionals experts in health and also leadership. I've

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: also had that experience on council and i know how

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: government works. But I'm also passionate about people. I think

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: that's my winning skill. I love working with people. I

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: love connecting people and getting that real energy together to

37
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: create positive change. And that's my focus on on working

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: collaboratively with both sides of the you know, the parties,

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: whoever is in and who's in opposition, because that's what

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: we need. Collaboration, we need community, we need unity to

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: really turn things around, because what's happening at the moment

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: is just it is scary where our community is going.

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: And that's that's why I'm standing and that's why I

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: think I'm the best person for this position and I'm

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: excited about winning.

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: What do you say as being the biggest issues in

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: the electrode?

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: So crime, Katie, you just hear it. I've draw knocked

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: thousands of doors, had hundreds and hundreds of conversations, and

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: it is really concerning the level of crime in Corama Malac,

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: and what people are saying is that nobody's listening. And

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: you know, people are you know in some areas, they're

53
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: under sieve, they are locking themselves up, they're putting up

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: temporary fencing, they're they're hiding behind barbed wire, they're turning

55
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: the light off when they're inside because dead of home invasions.

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: I mean that talking to people who have had that

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: experience of home invasion, I mean that scars them for life.

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: And we've got serious issues with mental health, drug abuse,

59
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: alcohol abuse, because there's this wicked cycle of crime, anxiety,

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: trauma that is going on and it's affecting our kids

61
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: and we need to stop it, Katie. We've got to

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: stop it. And that's why we need an independence.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Based on those issues that you are hearing on the

64
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: doors and what you've just articulated there, look how and

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: why do you think you're the best person to be

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: able to sort through.

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Them, because I don't think we can just leave it

68
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: to government and what the community is saying to me.

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: They have ideas and we need to reach into that

70
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: community with them. Part of their role of an independent

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: is to work with community. It's to set up those

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: citizen forums on really big issues. And that's not not

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: having one meeting. That's having a really serious meeting with

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: many people. Form them, We support them. We give them

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: time to analyze all the data the issues and come

76
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: up with different solutions. And I think there's lots of

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: energy and compassion in this community. They want change. They're

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: unhappy with the rates of racism, poverty, violence, and they

79
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: want community. They want Kurama and Malac and Nucky to

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: come back to that beautiful, safe community it once was

81
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: because it was, and they want to walk hand in hand.

82
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: They don't want to see people locked up in jail

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: and you know that cycle of crime. They want the

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: kids to feel welcome and supported and go to school

85
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: and have a purpose and future.

86
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: Katie, one of the other issues that is rised with

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: us full Korama is public housing. I mean, how are

88
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: you feeling about that. Do you think that this is

89
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: an issue that people are concerned with?

90
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: Oh, massive, you just have to walk around here. We

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: have the highest rates of public housing and housing and

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: Tea has totally neglected this whole service. I'm just shocked

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: with what I'm seeing. And I'm talking to the residents

94
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: in those community, in those houses who have got piles

95
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: of rubbish, broken furniture and just sitting outside because there's

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: nothing inside to sit on. And they're saying, then, they've

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: been asking for help, you know, for months and months,

98
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: and no one's helping them clean up their tendency or

99
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: support them to live in a different way to how

100
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: they're normally living. And so you know, it's a broken system, Katie,

101
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: and it can't continue, and it's got so worse, and

102
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: you know, it's affecting the whole harmony of the community

103
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: because it's a terrible blight on our community and we

104
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: need to invest in that stock which has been totally

105
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: left to disintegrate and people can't live there, and that

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: is actually one of my priorities. Around Malac. There's a

107
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: big community near Tabletop near the holts landa park that

108
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: has just been voiceless and they are terrified and they're

109
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: rundown and they need services to support them. That the

110
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: housing is just appalling, Justine.

111
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: A bit over a minute to go, about a minute

112
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: twenty to go. A couple of quick ones. Do you

113
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: live in the electorate.

114
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: I have lived in the electorate and I'm moving back

115
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: to the electorate. So we're just building in mistletoe at

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: the moment. I've spent thirteen years here, but I've worked,

117
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: I've gardened, I've you know, every Saturday in that Karama garden.

118
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: My heart is in this community and in Malac and

119
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: in Knukie, and we are we're building a mistletoe. So yeah,

120
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: I'm actually one of the few. I'm not leaving. I'm

121
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: coming back. I love Karama. Hey.

122
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: In terms of your preferences, have you decided where they're

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: going to go?

124
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: Yes, Well I don't need a party to tell me

125
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: how to preference, and it's out there. I'm not going

126
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: to tell any voter how to preference, so I'm not

127
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: giving preferences, all right. It's up to the voter to decide,

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: you know, who they wish to choose. And I want

129
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: to work with both sides of government.

130
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Justine thirty seconds to go. Why should people vote for you?

131
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: Because it's time to change, Katie. And an independent is

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: going to be in this community, working for this community,

133
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: listening and acting and I am the one. Vote for me.

134
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: Four years you will see change.

135
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: Well, justin Glover, you've got about five seconds to go.

136
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: Anything else you want to say.

137
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: Karana has a big heart, it's amazing people Malac has

138
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: you know. It's just people want change, Katie, and now

139
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: the time. Do it now because otherwise we've got to

140
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: wait four years.

141
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Well, justin Glover, it is great to speak with you

142
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: this morning. Thank you so very much for your time.

143
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Katie. I loved it. Thanks, I'm excited.

144
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Thanks so much.

145
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: That is justin Glover.

146
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: There, she is indeed the independent who's put a hand

147
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: up to run for Karama
