1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Last week we spoke quite a bit actually about the 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: possibility of a jetty at East Point. Now, it was 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: after we'd had a discussion with AFANT about land based 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 1: fishing and some of the locations it might be good 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: for that land based fishing to happen. Some of you 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: were all for it, others not so much. All of 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: us wondering though where the money would come from. And 8 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: it seems the government have have got some money there 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: will They say that they're making the Territori's favorite pastime 10 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: even better with nineteen point eight million dollars an investment 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: in budget twenty twenty four for more recreational fishing infrastructure 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: in the top end. And joining us on the line 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: right now is the Minister for Recreational Fishing, Joel Bauden. 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: Good morning to you, Joel, Good morning Cody, Thanks so 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: much for your time. Now consultations opened on a new 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: proposed fishing jetty at Dudley Point. Joel, can you talk 17 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: us through sort of exactly where it would be and 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: what this will look like? 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, as you said, have you say is open 20 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: so you can go online to put in your feedback. Now, 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: a lot of people know the East Point area but 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: it's a bit further down past Peewee's and there's a 23 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: nice car park there. It's the Dudley Point Spot. And 24 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: what we're asking people to tell us is what they 25 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: think it should look like. Because we've put nineteen point 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: eight million, as you said, into the budget, it's not 27 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: all going to go in this one project, but we've 28 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: put money there. We want to get an accessible land 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: based fishing platform there, jetty or whatever you want to 30 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: call it, and we want people to tell us what 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 2: they want it to look like and maybe how far 32 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: out it goes, and what they think the aesthetics of 33 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: the place should look like. But it's really exciting. Overwhelming 34 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: feedback in the last twenty four hours since we announced 35 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: it about mums and dads taking their boys and girls 36 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: down there to have a fish on the weekend. 37 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: Well, it's such a nice spot, right and I go 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: running around there quite often and there is always people 39 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: around East Point having a fish and they're quite often 40 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: sort of standing out on the rocks, you know, different 41 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: areas around there, and look, I think it sounds like 42 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: a wonderful idea. I guess the big question is, Joel, 43 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: how much money could potentially go towards this out of 44 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: that nineteen odd million, and where are we getting it from. 45 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: Well, we get it from consolidated revenue CATIE. You know 46 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: how that works. The federal government are a number one funder, 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: but we also have our own source revenue that's about 48 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: eight and a half to nine billion dollars a year 49 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: that we allocate as a government. So we put just 50 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: about twenty into this recreational fishing. There's a couple of 51 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 2: other spots that are going to get upgrades, so I 52 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: think Dona Beach is one that's important because that's going 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: to be for all accessibilities. Dundee Beach is getting some 54 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: upgrades of the boat ram because that didn't go that 55 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: well last time. But we've got twenty million or thereabouts 56 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: to invest in recreational fishing, and after the consultation, we'll 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: see what comes back and there will be plenty of 58 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: money within that twenty million to go towards the Dudley 59 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: Point jetty or accessible platform that we're going to use 60 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: the fision. It's actually deep water out there. If you 61 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: go a little bit out from the coast, and if 62 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: there's a high tide, you should be able to get 63 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: to some deep water you should be able to get 64 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: some macro Ultravali maybe some snapper who knows. But it 65 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: is a really good spot, as you said, and of 66 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: course right you can go down on the weekend. There's 67 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 2: the food vans down there, there's the play equipment, there's 68 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: the Alexander Lake, all those things. It's a really really 69 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: good place and this will make it even. 70 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: Better, Minister. For those out there listening who are just 71 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: trying to wrap their heads around exactly where this is 72 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: at Dudley Point, can you paint a bit of a 73 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: picture for us, And I know that it is part 74 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: of the consultation, but just to give people a bit 75 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: of an idea, yep. 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: So if you know where the food vans are, and 77 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: let's call it the beach there, you've got to go 78 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: probably another k and a half down the road. You 79 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: pass Peewee's on the left, another four or five hundred 80 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: meters there and it's on the point Dudley Point at 81 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: East Point. There's a really big car park which makes 82 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: it really accessible. For instance, I don't have a boat, Katie, 83 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: but if I wanted to go fishing with my daughter 84 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: or my son, I could jump in the car. We 85 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: could go down there. We'll park within fifty meters of 86 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: the jetty, a little bit like Nightcliff jetty is you 87 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: can walk out and you'll be able to throw a 88 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: line in and hopefully catch as well. 89 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: Look, I think people will probably I know that we 90 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: spoke about this last week after a discussion with a 91 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: fat and it was a bit of a mixed bag. 92 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: You know. 93 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: Some people were all for it, and they were going, 94 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: this could be awesome, Katie, could be so wonderful to 95 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: see a Jeddy out there. Others somebody had actually emailed 96 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: me and said, hang on a second, don't we have 97 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: quite historical significance around their war history. But from where 98 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: you're telling me, it would be it does feel as 99 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: though it's, you know, a bit further away from the 100 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: gun turrets and you know and the war museum and 101 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. 102 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's certainly away from there, but it is on 103 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: the point, so Dudley point. It just gives that little 104 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: bit extra push out into the ocean, and we're hoping 105 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: with a jetty or a structure there that goes out 106 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: a bit further, you'll be able to get into some 107 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: deeper water and catch some fish. But the most thing 108 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: is that it's accessible because not everyone can afford a boat. 109 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: Not everyone's got a mate who's got a boat. I'm 110 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: actually chasing up a couple of mates at the moment 111 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: to see if for this long weekend they might be 112 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: able to take me out. Here is an accessible platform 113 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: that will be able to use seven days a week. 114 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: If you want to go for a fish on a 115 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: you know you've got a day off, you got a 116 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: nadie on Monday or Tuesday, you can go out and 117 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: have a fish. Or if you've got a long weekend 118 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: with the kids on the family, you can go down there, 119 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: throw a line in and hopefully catch a little tricky snapper. 120 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: Minister, is it a bit controversial that you're the Minister 121 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: for recreational fishing without a boat. 122 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a bit controversial. I've been asking my 123 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 2: wife for a long time now, especially we've got the 124 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: wreck fishing portfolio if I could buy a boat, and 125 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: she said to me, not yet. Just keep borrowing Rockies boat, 126 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: or keep borrowing Steve's boat, or keep going out with sires. 127 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: It is a bit controversial, but I've got the three 128 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: mates have all got boats, so that's a good stuff. 129 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: Lucky lucky for you. Hey, I do want to go 130 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: on to another issue within your portfolio. The ABC this 131 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: morning reporting that footage has emerged that allegedly shows commercial 132 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: barrel Monday gill nets strung across wide stretches of remote 133 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: Northern Territory waters where commercial fishing is banned now. According 134 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: to this report, traditional owners and charter fishing operators from 135 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: the Arna Bay area been left outraged by the alleged discovery, 136 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: branding the commercial operators as disrespectful and a disgrace. Minister, 137 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: what do you know of this situation? 138 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had it reported to us, Katie and so 139 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: I had a meeting on Monday with ant fisheries instructing 140 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: them to go and investigate. Apart from that, we take 141 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: this seriously because there are agreements between Aboriginal landowners between 142 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 2: the government. There are a number of historical decisions and 143 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 2: agreements that have been met, you know, this is going 144 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: back a number of years, decades now that need to 145 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 2: be abided by the rules. Are the rules now? If 146 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: the rules have been broken, then we will act accordingly. 147 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: But right now we're just investigating these allegations. And I 148 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: have seen the report on the ABC. So I am 149 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: aware of it. What we're just going to have to 150 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: wait while Anti Fisheries do an investigation into this allegation. 151 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: When is the government going to make a formal decision 152 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: as to whether to sort of ban that gill netting 153 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: in some of those different areas. 154 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's going to be stay. It's about 155 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: eighty days to go until the election, So we'll make 156 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: some sort of statement in the very near future about 157 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: our fans wishly. So they've put an extensive list of 158 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: requests to government. They've done it, both the government and 159 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: the opposition. So we're working through that and we'll make 160 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: we'll make a public statement in the near future about 161 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: what we can and can't commit to leading into the 162 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: twenty fourth of August, which is again only eighty days away. 163 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's a tough juggle here because obviously 164 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: your recreational fishes and you know there and your traditional 165 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: line is quite concerned about that gilnetting. But then on 166 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: the other hand, you have got people that want to 167 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: come to the Northern Territory and be able to buy 168 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: an affordable piece of barrow Monday to eat at a restaurant. 169 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: That's right, And we've got to try and get that 170 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: balance right. It's multi factory because not only have we 171 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: had the million dollar barrow, we've got those people who 172 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: want to eat barrow Monday. You know, they want to 173 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: have it on the menu whe whether they're in Melbourne, 174 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: Sydney or in Darwin. So we've got to get the 175 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: balance right between recreational fishing and commercial fishing. We've got 176 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: to get the balance right between tourism and local local industry. 177 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 2: So it is it's a really difficult one. I didn't think, Katie, 178 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: that recreational fishing would be as difficult as it is. 179 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: I thought it might have been a little bit of 180 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: fun and that my wife might have let me buy 181 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: a boat so I could go out fishing more often. 182 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: But it has turned into something that takes up a 183 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: lot more of my time than I first thought it would. 184 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Now well to good fish exactly. 185 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: I mean three territories goes fishing, and we know it's 186 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: a two hundred and seventy million dollar industry in our economy. 187 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: Like that's a lot of money that goes into fishing 188 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: and recreational fishing. 189 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: Minister Rob's just gotten in contact with us to ask 190 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: where things are at with the repairs to the East 191 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: Arm Boat Ramp. He's a man in his seventies.
